FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.


brings later dates from Europe, by eleven days.
A summary of the news she brings, published
in an extra from this Office, may be found on our
hrs, page 1t is not OF any very great Importance
| We have no later certain intelligence than that
| received by previous arrivals, from Canton. To
the rumors relative to the capture of Pekn, we
10 not attach much credit. The particulars
may be found on the outside.
The intelligence from Syria and Egypt, is
more decisive and of more importance. In the
particulars given below, it will be seen that Ad-
mral Stoptord, by refusal to ratify the treaty
entered into with Mehemet Ali by Napier, near
y destroyed entirely all prospect of peaceful
adjustment of this affair. Nothing but the ina
| bty of the Pasha to contend against the Allied
Powers, could have induced him to acquiesce in
such severe terms as are now offered to him.
| In England there has nothing of importance
occurred since our advices OF the 2ijth ut.
Throughout the country notes ofpreparation are
sounding for the coming meeting of Parliament.
Spain and Portugal are still in hostile position
towards one another, but their differences will
probably be adjusted even without the interven-
ton of England.
From France, too we are without any intelli-
gence of Importance The Paris journals we're
indulging notion that Russia may be induced
to enter into separate alliance with France,
against England and the other two Powers, par
ties TO the Quadruple Treaty of July, 1910.
For what purpose, beyond the now fayorite
French object Of humbng England, is not sta
ted. The only apparent ground, however, for
supposing that Russia entertains such project,
is deduction from the fact that some diplomatic
notes, in friendly tone, have passed between
the Russian Ambassador and NJ. Guizot Similar
notes, however, have been exchanged with the
other Powers; and they probably, one and all,

NJ. Theirs seems to have regaincd some of
his lost influence in the Chamber of Deputies
Rumors of changes in the Ministry continue.
Many apprehend that NJ. Guizot will be obliged
to succumb under the assaults of the War party.
A rumor that the Allied Powers had called
upon France to account for her proceeding with
warlIke preparations, has received partial con.
firmatlon. 1t is said that the Austrian Ambassa.
dor had verbally intimated to the French Gov
eminent, that their continued preparations for
war had produced alarm in GERMANY, and that
| the increase Of the French army, or even its
maintenance at its present enormous amount,
tended to keep alive in all countries an expecta-
ton OF war, which, with such force on foot,
| rendered the occurrence of that calamity posi-
Bile even from accidental collision. The Aus
tran Ambassador expressed belief that the
French Government, when it should admit the
correctness of his representations, would order
such dlmlnution Of the existing forces AS would
relieve the Continental neighbors of France
from those feelings of alarm. 10 these repre-.
sensations the French Government replied, that
no increase or extension Of the force ordered or
contemplated to be raised by the late Admins
tration Of France had yet taken place but that
the present Ministry felt it as impossible as it
would be dangerous for them to dec line carving
out the measures OF the Theirs Ministry in that
respect
The London Times Of the 9Th, our latest date,
contains moderate review of Galatin's work
on the North Eastern Boundary question.
| According to letter from Malta, dated De-
cember 18th, the accounts from Egypt represent
the Pasha to be adapting himself 10 the change
in his affairs, and directing his attention to the
arts of peace He has issued contracts for
