ton of the Divan in reference to Il e Pasha of
Egypt. III. De Pontois was believed 10 have
again demanded his recall. Several important
notifications were expected shortly to take
place in the superior administration OF the
empire The retreat of the Serasllier, Musta-
pha Pasha, was seriously talked of, and it was
believed that the latter would be replaced by
Hail Rifat Pasha, brother in-law to the Sultan.
The success obtained by the allies in syria had
produced deep moral impression over the
| Albanians. Serva was perfectly tranquil. The
promoters of the recent disturbance in the dis
trict of Sohabatz had been severely punished.
The chief of the movement had been shot, six
OF his accomplices sentenced to hard labor, and
about 400 others, more or less implicated there.
in, had been bastinadoed.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST,
A letter from Constanhnople, asserts that il
was the representatives of the four Powers in
that capital who took the initiative in inducing
the Divan to declare against recognising Com
modore Napier's treaty, and not the Divan who
| first decided to that effect, and then informed
the Ambassadors. There is great deal Of
contradiction and obscurity on this point in all
the accounts which we have seen from Con-
stantinople.
Some doubts having been EXPRESSED as ia
the precise nature of the advice to be offered
10 the Porte by the allies after the submission
by Mehemet Ali, we feel that we shall not be
found wrong in stating that the allies will adj
wise the Sultan to grant to Mehemet Ali the
hereditary possession of Egypt, as the governor
of the Turkish province of Egypt, and not as
vassal prince, as some persons have been led
to believe. Connected in some measure with
this subject, we cannot avoid bestowiDg few
words on the rhapsodes of the Paris journals
Respecting communications said to have been
made by the French Government from the EN-
II -
plicit credit when we assure them that these
boastings about a projected alliance with Rus
STA against England are mere childish ebulli-
tons of pique, and silly attempts to sow dis
trust and disunion among the allies. But Aus
tria and Prussia and England know the per-
sonal character and high sense of honor of the
Emperor Nicholas too well not to laugh al
these little stratagems ofthe politicians of Paris;
and, moreover, common sense must suggest to
the most ordinary comprehension, that if there
were really any secret understanding on foot
or in contemplation, between France and Rus
STA, the French would endeavor 10 prevent us
from knowing any thing about it until it was
completed, instead Of trumpeting it forth to all
Europe before it had even begun Observer.
A dreadful hurricane from the North, was ex-
perienced at Constantinople on the I'd, with a
considerable fall of snow: fifteen ships are re-
ported to have been wrecked on the shores of the
Black Sea, near the entrance OF the Bosphorus,
and the Crescent steamer, from Trebizond, in
consequence of her not having made her appear
ance, it was feared had also shared the fate of
these last. BY accounts from Marmorice Bay,
of the 14th instant, II. NJ. S. Zebra, 16, had
been driven on shore and totally wrecked--three
of the crew drowned. III. M. S. Pique had her
masts carried away.
PARIS, Jan. Eve did not receive till to-day.
the Echo de POrient, published at Smyrna on the
18th December, which bIings news from Con-
stantinople of the 9Th. This Journal says that
Mehemet Ali has forfeited all claims to the
clemency of his Sovereign, and that if out OF
commiseration for his grey hairs he should be
spared the disgrace of complete ruin, it would be
pure generosity; and it would be much if the
Pachalic of Egypt were left him for his life, to
be disposed of alter his death, and without al
lowing him to keep up any force by sea or land,
unless ON a very limited scale The Ech de
POrient, in expressing itself in these terms, near
w declares the secret ideas of the Porte, and
still more of Lord Ponsonby, who for many
years has labored with remarkable tenacity to
depress Mehemct Allie Commerce, Jea. ?.
