MEHEMET ALI. The Viceroy of Egypt has purchased powerful friends in the Divan, including some members of the Imperial family, and could he but overcome the scruples of the Moollahs, there is little doubt that the great bulk of the Turks would be delighted to see him invested with the Regency. But would the ambition of the wily Albanian soar no higher? Would he with the sword of the Prophet within his grasp hesitate to enrobe himself in the Imperial mantle? Would the murderer of the Mamclukes scruple for an instant to crush the spark of life out of a child standing between him and the attainment of the very summit of human ambition? Reports of conspiracies among the great officers of State to invest him with the command of the Ottoman army and fleet during the life-time of the SULTAN, and .so place the Regency entirely at his disposal, have for some time been rife at Constantinople. They may be unfounded, but they advance the interests of the Vassal, by making the public ear 'familiar with his prospective greatness. Thus everything indicates the commencement of a new era in Oriental politics. The Toulouse affair has had its clay, and the Rarisians begin to get sick of it. They want something fresh, and Madame LAFFARGE supplies the newest topic of conversation. Not that they take any deep interest in her fate, but they have nothing else just now to talk about. A report of the trial, so far as it has proceeded, will be found in another part of The Sun.  The Courricr Francaise of Monday has rather an extraordinary article on the state of Europe, the purport of which is to demonstrate that every nation. is going to the dogs but ratie e?, It will be difficult to make the starving poor of Franke believe thig:  ,1--- he Eithhei:l3llibnbitoitibtisti Stait'S theti 111 ens sequence Of thkaffki.ei tif Hs regPetisible &liter; the pitblicatidu of the tliilitaire has been Mthe iittirnettt sirs= puttied:. 24; Arzac had been summoned to giVe efi4iineW concerning the disturbances before the competent authorities:.

The Argentine artillery and crews are sail to have been much superior to those of Monte Video. The Armoricain of Brest states that the military and naval authorities have become so fully aware of the tremendous effects produced by the guns a la Paixhans upon batteries of all kinds, as shown during the late operations in Syria, that they have determined on mounting all the batteries in the ports of France with artillery upon this plan. It has also been found necessary, it adds, to change the position of the powder-magazines, and they will all be put under ground, or under works casomated in an extra manner, since common bomb-proof masonry' is not proof against Paixhans'. shot. The actual magazines of Brest, it observes, would all he immediately bloWn up, and the upper town destroyed, if au attack were now to be made with such artillery. ~.- The Gazette du Midi states that General Changerpier pas!.!d through that city a, few days ago, from Algierp,- on his way to Paris. - , ~, 'COireipondent of the.-Presse, Writing yen& L;onstantiiipple„ Rti the 17th ult., asserts that a Conspiracy
