THE LEVANT MAIL.  By the Levant Mail we have received Constantinople journals to the 14th, and Athens to the 17th ult.  The former announce that the Marquis de Lavalette, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of France, had waited on the Sultan, with all his legation, to present the notification of the reelection of Louis Napoleon to the Presidency of the Republic, with increased powers. He was received with some pomp, and was conducted to the sultan's presence by Asli Pilch:, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Addressing the Sultan, he stated that Louis Napoleon had, by the act of the 2d December, prevented the outbreak of anarchical projects which would have had disastrous effect on other states ; that, in gratitude to him, the nation had anew and unanimously confided to him the direction of its destinies ; that he would fulfil the duties thereby imposed on him by conciliating the dignity of a strong and respected government-, and the interests and grandeur of the Republic, with the rights of other powers—the only means of consolidating the peace and progress of Europe, and of cementing more and more the friendly relations which unite the different Governments for the common prosperity of nations. The ambassador concluded by passing an eulogium on l'itirkey end its glorious Sovereign, n'ir! assured the Sultan that France felt erdent sympathy fer both. The Sultan thanked the representative of France for the expression of his sentiments, spoke in flattering terms of the President of the Republic and his acts, and assured the Minister thet i e wa.i fully aware of the happy effects of general peace, and of maintaining a good understanding between the two Governments, and would neglect no occasion of promoting them. Whilst the Marquis de Lavalette was on his way to the Falace an accident occurred, which might have bud fatal consequences—the horse of M. de Cadalvene, director of the French Post-offise, took fright near the Great Field of the Dead, and threw that gentleman with great violence to the ground. He was taken np senseless, and his head and arm were discovered to be a good deal hurt. The Marquis de Lavalette immediately gave up his carriage to convey him to the Embassy, and proceeded to the palace on horseback. The physician of the Embassy, who happened to be present when the accident occurred, paid him every attention, and, though his state at first had been considered very dangerous, it was believed that he would recover. Extraordinary events had occurred in the isle of Cassell. The chief of one of the principal families, named Ilagi Manoli Maliaraki, had, for some reasons not known, excited the bitter animosity of a portion of the islanders, and some of them murdred him at Alexandria, to which place he had gone. on business. When his wife, daughter, et jers, and mother-in-law heard of this, they seized burning torches and with cries of rage and horrible threats set fire ice the houses of the suspected assassins.
