CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 21.—The emissaries sent by Mehemet Ali Pacha to Salonica were not well received by the Pacha, who had been reckoned upon at Alexandria. He refused all verbal communication, but undertook to forward a hog letter from Mehemet Ali to the Sultan. The emissaries then returned to Alexandria. _  ALEXANDRIA, Ave. 16.—Thin evening a French brig of war, from Tenedos, and an Austrian corvette, arrived in our harbour. They have brought important despatches, but the contents have not transpired, as the Pacha is at present at the garden of Muharrem Bey, where ho does not receive visitors on political affairs. Some days ago the English steamer Rhadamanthus arrived from Tenedos, with despatches from the Consuls-General to the same purport as those previously received, namely, that the Powers bad taken the settlement of the affairs of the East into their own hands. _ _ _  We have related, after the London Journals, a new mis• take, in consequence of which an English sailor was wounded on board the Spider, by shot fired from the French ship the Perle. The Armoricain, a Brest Journal, gives the following account of this affair, which differs considerably from that in the English Papers:— " The Spider packet, commanded by Lieut. O'Reilly, entered by night the port of Monte Video. By virtue of a convention ketwcen us and the Oriental Republic, we exercise at this moment a very vigilant surveillance with respect to all ships that enter or quit this road in the night. A boat belonging to the Perle corvette was on duty ; it hailed the Spider several times, but was not answered. Then it fired some musket shot in another direction. The Spider pail no attention to them. At length a musket shot was fired, not at the vessel, but so that the ball might pass very close along-side of it. Unfortunately the ball touched the arm of the man who was sounding. If, on the one hand, tho English Consul at Monte Video has endeavoured to represent this accident in an odious light, on the other hand the officers of the English squadron at once acknowledge that there was very certainly no intention to insult the English flag, which betides was not flying since it was night. But the frank and friendly explanations that took place have not hindered the declamations of the English Journals, which seem to be resolved to drive France into the arms of Russia."  Mr. NI-Gregor has just passed through Paris. It is said that he is going on a mission to Naples, and othlr Italian States. We have reason to believe that the AngloFrench Commission, which met at Paris last winter, is going to resume its labours —Le Commerce, Sept. 11.
