JULY 19.—During the last three days nothing has transpired further than the publication of the sentence on the soldiers who broke into M. Pastre's countryhouse. The officer in command of the party has been deprived of his rank, fined one month's pay, and received fifty blows of the stick ; the men have had stopped one month's pay, and received three hundred blows each ; and the Bey, by whose orders the party left Alexandria without proper authority for so doing, has been placed in fifteen days' arrest, and ordered a hundred and fifty blows. The Oriental arrived on Saturday, bringing London letters up W the sth instant. A naval commander and two surgeons, for the Syrian establishthent, passengers be the steamer, If:FT• y3=tercloy fur Beyrt,,, met tycc pacts et. Ibrahim Pitch., „iveet yrtiiiy to the oricatal. This steamer tacos le»ne BeghoS"Bey's reply to the East India and Chin t address. Mr. IVaghor.e revisits England by this conveyance ; on taking leave of the Paella last night he obtained a firma„ as a personal favour, to put another steamer on the Nile. The Paella, expressed himself much pleased on hearing lmiritended to bring the machinery only from England, and bialiVtliebeiit at Cairo, on a plan properly adapted for Vv.,Nile ; in fact, boats for the Nile can be better built in this country. Hill's little steamer, with its new machieery, is infinitely better than the Lotus fiat-bottomed boats do not answer in it river so full of  lire hear nothing more said about free trade. Those who have been fortunate in getting produce to Alexandria are allowed to export it without remark on payment of twelve per cent, export duty, but the same difficulty lin finding transport for , produce from the interior, or allowing it to be taken from the interior, still exists. Colonel Napier remains here. Nothing official has yet cline from Constantinople. Colonel Barnett, our new Consul, arrived at Malta, by the Oriental, whence he departed to deliver his credentials at Constantinople, and is expected here in another month. The Indian mail arrived here last night. The news is devoid of general interest. From China they had received in Bombay, up to the 19th ult., no later news than the 31st March. Sir G. G. Bremer had departed from Calcutta for Canton, and a portion of the new expedition, including the 55th and 49th regiments, a detachment of artillery, sappers, and a company of native rifles, had already departed. From Bombay no troops had been sent, but- to complete the expedition they were waiting the arrival of Admiral Sir W. Parker and Sir Henry Pottinger. In the new expedition are included many armed small craft for river service. Opinions appeared divided in India as to whether the re-possession of Chusan, or an immediate advance on Pekin were the first objects of this expedition. In the Punjaub things still remained in a most distracted state. The Governor of Cashmere had been murdered. In Scinde affairs appeared as far as ever from a settlement. - The Nepaulese had become troublesome, and appeared to require a severe lesson. In Aff.;hanistan things were comparatively quiet ; Post Mahommed was amusing himself in Calcutta, where he was treated with marked attention and respect. In Herat things were again quiet, and Yar Mahommed was likely to give no further trouble.
