THE LEVANT MAIL.  CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—The principal event of last week has bet n the removal from office of Ri'sat Pas',a, Minister of Foreign Affai,s, and the appointment in his place of Shekio Effendi, formerly Amb -s,ador at the Court of St. James's. Besides his mission to London, he was en.eaged as a diplomatist in the xi, getiations upon the ,ettlement of the Greek question, and afterwards at the conference of Adrianovle. On the 31st of October Sir Stratford Canning was admitted to an audience wish the Sultan, when he pres_ented a letter announcing the birth of Prince Alfred. The tecepti, n was in the usual form. His Highness has himself had art accession to his family in the birth of another son, being his third male child. Illuminations and rtj,iicings are to continue for a week. Dr. Wolff is still at Me- hod, from which place he was unwilling to proceed till he had received an escort from Colonel Sheil at Teheran. It is singular that, after crossing the desert of Mero and escaping from the Turcoman hordes, he should shrink from encountering dangers and difficulties comp,ratively trifling.—Leiters from Trebizende describe a very curious. occurrence which took plane there last month. A Mussulioan Cadi having been murdered while on a journey, the as-a,sitis were seized by the Pasha. and, instead of being punished according to the usual forms of justice, were delivered to the kindred 01 man, by one of whom their throats were deliberately cut in the market-place. Such things were unheard of during the administration of Redschid Pasha. ALLXANDRIA, Nov. 6.—Things continue quiet in Egypt. Many surrpi-es are made as to what s.eds will be taken by the Peninsular a d °dental Cotnp ith regard to the refusal of Mehemet Ali to allow earners to ply any longer on the Nile. The genera inion is, that they will have to remove their steamers and It ave the transit threueh Egypt entirely in the hands of the Pasha. —Mr. Bourne has done wining as yet with regard to the arrangements with Mehemet Ali for the transit of the India mails through Egypt, and it is not unlikely that this gentleman will have to return to En_ ind without effecting anything.—Prayers have been offered to Allah at the principal mosques at Cairo, by command of Mehemet Ali, to stop the too sudden decrease of the Nile ; but, as this is the sees- n for the water to run off the land, this proceeding is by the initiated supposed to be only a manoeuvre on the pat t of the Pasha to induce the merchants to offer him higher prices for his proiuce.—The works of the new fortification.; of Alexandria, under the directien of the French Colonel of Engineers, Galilee Bey, are progressing very steadily. The stone employed for this purpose is brought from some catacombs, situate about a mile and a half from the Rosetta-bate. Intelligence has been received from Syria up to the 27th of October. That country still remains in a very unsatisfactory state, occasioned by the weakness of the Turkish governm nt, which is de-pised and set at defiance by the various sheiks. Troops were arriving every week from Turk whose object. it appears, is to disarm the population, and enforce the conscription. The Sheik Aboo Ghosh bad entered the towns of Jaffa and Saida, and massacred the Governor of each place. The crop of ayes will be immense this year ; but little or no advantage can be looked for to the country, whilst the whole benefit is absorbed by the temporary Governors of the several provinces.  It is said that A 13,1 El Kader has dismissed the few soldiers who stili followed him, and that he hatiemoved into the interior of Morocco. he Universal German Gazelle states that the Russian Goveinn3ept has issued an ordonnunee forbidding ail the inhabitants of Poland, without distinction, to marry before the age of thirty.
