no doubt, suspecng an intention on his part of not
returning 10 Egypt If he once got away with all his
family. Stephan Bey has been appointed Minister
of Foreign Affairs IN the room of Artin Bey.
Edhem Pasha has been named Minister OF COM
merce, in lieu of Ismail Bey, who has held the APP
pointment since Artin Bey was deprived of it, This
change has given general satisfaction, as Edhem
Pasha, from the nature of his office, will be in con-
slant contact with Europeans. He is LIBERAL
minded man, educ ated in France, has spent several
years in England, and is conversant with the prin
cpal European languages On his appointment,
Abbas Pasha recommended TO him the most scru-
pulcus impartiality in his intercourse with tho
European me rchants.
The Settlement of tho Territorial Dispute
I'm America.
From the London Chronicle, Oct.
The facilities of telegraphic communication are
so widely extended in the United States, and the
appetite OF American newspaper conductors for
news OF certain description Is so rapacious, and
gratites itself so promptly, that we were not with
out hope Of being enabled 10 announce in tho
course ofyesterday the disappearance Of the last
element OF difficulty in the slave controversy.
The distance, however, which intervenes between
Galveston and New York, and the extraordinary
Justification Of intelligence by the Southern press,
has rendered 1t still, IN some measure, uncertain
whether or not the Texan government has aban-
doned its audacious design Of an armed interference
in the concerns of New Mexico. One account,
which our correspondent reproduces and which
we shall be glad to find confirmed by our next
despatch, states positively that the Texan State
Legislature has peaceably accepted the sum prof
fered by Congress in satisfaction of the Texan
claims; and we read in the journals that the
Governor is believed 10 have recalled some militia
which had already commenced their march upon
the north western frontier In fact the palpable
checks which the young State has received during
her brief career, as the exclusive champion OF the
Southern interests, may be fairly supposed To have
taught her the ACCESSIBILITY of greater moderation
and a less presunptuous attitude All the measures
Of settlement against which she had set her face
have been at last adopted by the Central
Legislature the rebellious message of her
Governor has been universally treated as q
document of great impudence and small i'm
pOrlance 1; and last blow has been given to her
credit and influence by rumor probably q
false one) of her having hazarded the overture OF
certain reasonable projects TO the executive off-
GERS, in one or two of the more violent amoag the
Southern States. We imagine that her acquiescencs
may be presumed on other grounds than the
certainty of shameful defeat, if she continues to
" hch is offered to her. To young country like
Texas, populated by hardy and enterprising race,
the payment into hand of some millions Of dollars
must constitute an overpoweilng consideration.
Mexican province might dispense for centuries
with roads and Iubc works; but the first thought
OF Anglo Saxon communities in America is to pro-
vide them a scale commensurate with their
aspirations. Foryears 81, Texas has been trying
to borrow the means of construction. The funds,
which not very long ago might have been ELECTED
from the pockets OF English Capitalists, by the mere
enumeration, in an excessive message, OF her
Minerals produce, and water privileges, are only
10 be collected at ruinous sacrifice, from gene
ration which has been bitten by Mississippi Texas
must accept the compensation money, or suiier
cruelty for the pecuniary sins of her SISTER slave
State.
On the very admissible hypothesis that the rights
OF Texas in New Mexico will be conciusyely ex-
tnguished by the acceptance Of the iyments which
the compensation bill authorizes, every branch Of
the great question between North ant South, in It's
latest phase, has been arranged IN precise accord
aDce with the sugpe stions of Mr.. Clay The dts-
Jecto n'enbra of his compromise were adopted, BY
the House Of Representatives, after series Of I'M
dienited vacilarions which we recorded last week
having been first sanctioned in principle, then
then re-considered, and finally passed
into law. We discern in this extraordinary scene
lively illustration Of that conflict of motives which
must have agitated the lower House. few ofits
members may have bestowed their unreserved
approval on the projects OF compromise before
hem but 10 the great majority they must have
been IN greater or less degree unwelcome. Un-
Ike the Senate, which ~ delegated by the States,
he inferior blaDch Of the central Legislature d.
ectly represents and reflects the IN asses. Tho
members are Immediately accountable 10 constiiu-
,nces which have hardly yet realized the dangers
he Union has incurred, and which can scarcely
be prevailed upon 10 relax the al. dyes which they
sxacted OF adherence To a Southern or a Northern
policy. Not third, probably OF the represcn-
atlves in the House had been cndow with
sufficient power or prudence, TO secure their re-
urn unfetiered by promises of unconditional sup
'ort or of uncompromising enulity to the Wimot
)roylso. Thus all the Influences imme diately
operating on the body, with whom rested the final
1ecsion Of these disputes, of local and sec
onal character; but, al the same time, its duties
we re imperial II had assembled TO legislate, not
against, but for the Union. Though elected, as
regards its several members, by the populations Of
distress, II was delegated 10 govern
q great federated empire. IL isto the antagonism
between the purposes and the method OF its con-
stitulion that must ascrbe the fluctuations OF it's
votes Respect for its constituents, and tor the
solemn pledges II had given them, alternsed with
reverence for the sacred obligations az had bound
tself to discharge; and so even does the play Of
motives appear To have been, that the Union seems
almost TO owe its preservation from present peril to
oihipp more apprrciable than an accident.
AT future period, we may attempt 10 subject TO
more formal analysis the circumstances under
= hioh the latest chapter Of AmerIcln history 10
'iosed. For the moment great danger IS ayeucd-
N the admission of California, aud m the prohi-
bitten Of the slave trade in Columbia, the North
.nters frfnrd faeie into the enjoyment of as much
Is II can equiiably demand; while the South has
gained advantages quite out Of proportion 10 ITS IN
rnsc weakness, In securing the exiradon of fu-
'itiye negroes, aud the organization " the terrific
les without the Wilmot proviso But a more sus-
aimed glance into the perspective Of the future
must show that the great dispute, and the exunc-
ion of the mighty wrong Of slavery, which can
'e the only result OF its next revival, are only adj
ourned oil The rlPeness OF time The principal con-
ession accorded to the South, by granting TO New
v exco and tab the privilege OF fixing tor them
elves the conditions OF labor, has only been gained
because the prepondersnce OF evidence was
n favor OF the utter uDitness OF those countres
or slave culture. To the north, east. aud west.
he bounds OF negro servtude are settled. and the
ne citing OF final limit TO its expansion Is equivalent
q the destruction Ct the system. The enormous
,ostliness OF their instrument OF labor, and the
consequent necessity Of continually breaking up
virgin soils in order apply IL with profit, are the
which have inspired the Southern
proprietary with their relentless greed Of new terri
DRY. The slave owners know that they must
'erish il closed ia, and that nothing but the broad
av annals OF Texas, now desecraet to their SERVICE
,revent them from instantly exhibiting the tokcns
" decline and decay. How soon the symptoms Of
Exhaustion will be discernlbe IN the vast area OF
which Mexico was deprived, we conjecture
" hen we have more reliable accounts of it's
capacity fer cultivation. The time, however, for
displaying them must come at last, unless II be
gain postponed by second violation of the rights
Of nations, perIetrated for the sake Of perpetual
ing standing outrage on the rights of man.
