The dcspatches recently-

received from Alexandria (rive Us reason to a“ )re- l ble, the Pacha has redoubled his efforts to auvinent z: Pl 1 b ,

bend that some decisive measures will speedily be taken for coercing Mehemet Ali, and wrestiug Syria from his possession. From the mass of docu- ments and papers which have been published, we proceed to give anarrative of the events which have recently occurred in the East.

Our previous advices li‘om Alexandria had iii- formed us that, onrthe 10th of'August, the counsels ofthe four allied PoWers had waited upon Mehemet Ali, and notified to him the New Quadruple Treaty. By the stipulations of this treaty, it will be recollect- éd that, in the first instance, the Porte, supported by the Allied Powers, was to offer Mehemet Ali the hereditary Pachalick of Egypt and the Pachalic of St. Jean d’Acre as a life interest. Ten days were to be allowed him for consideration ; if he then re- fiised, the Pachalic of Egypt was to be offered to him alone; should he still refuse, the four Powers were to compel him by force of arms, to submit to the terms proposed. On the 16th of August, the first offer was made to him; and was indignantly glued. On the 18th of August, two days after

formal notification of the treaty to him, he gave audience to Rifat Bey, the oflicial envoy from the Ports, and received the ultimatum of the four Powers with his usual aangfroid, declaring that-,he has no other answer than that he has ali'cadyvfiven, and

that, ifthe envoy pleased, he WOuld give it in writing [000051011 for their SOWices-

at the moment. This Was declined, as the ‘f ten days of grace” had yet to run their eventfuliace. The next morning a courier arrived at the harem with despatcbes from Beyrout, bringing intelligence that

. wkets and artillery, &c. on_ whoard, were arrived on the coast of Syria, and about to land these formidable supplies to rekindle thet'glaurrection. The effect of this news was t0 “granite and embitfi‘ the quarrel beyond all

ibility of amicable settlement. The Pasha rwas “wroth w a degree.” His rcnionsti‘ances to Riliit Be and the four consuls were energetic even to ru chess, and be characterised, in strong ternis,the singular style of diplomacy whichsends an ambas- sador with proposals of peace and an allowance of ten days to consider them, having two days previous- ly sent ofi' men and materials to revive a rebellion. On the morning of the 20th, the Austrian, Russnin, English, and Prussian consuls, again formally pre- sented themselves to Mehemet Ali with Nilat Boy, to propose the liberation of the Turkish fleet, and that he should cede Syria, with the exception of the‘ pashalic of Sayde (St. Jean d’Acre), the interval of

‘his forces, and present an imposing front to his ene- mics.

Despatches from Alexandria, dated August 26, are to the following effect :—

“Adiniral Stopford arrived here, in the Princess Charlotte, on Monday, and dropped anchor beside the Belerophon. lie is now going through his quarantine. The force at present in the outer waters consists of these two meii-of-war, the Daphne, cor- vette, two Austrian frigates, and two smaller vessels.

Certainly, the Paclia’s are far superior in point of equipment to the Sultan’s, and, though merely built of fir, will last as long as he can haVe The Nile steamer, with engines by Bolton and Watt, and two B4-pounders, placed fore and aft, is the most effective vessel in his service, and would be worth any two in action, especially in the shallows and dangerous reefs that abound off the coast of Egypt. The arsenal is in military?" ‘ ' .

FRANCE.—Vve stated last week that certain classes of the Parisian operatives had resolved to strike, in order to obtain better terms from their employers. The first serious symptoms of disorder were observ- ed on Thursday, the 3d inst. that day the workmen assembled in great numbers in the Plain of St. Denis, and were charged by a squadron of di‘agoons and dispersed. 600 were brought in prisoners, and among them four chiefs of sections, gof the Republicans,) whose examinations showed tiat secret societies were at the bottom 'of the whole affair. , .

As to the Eastern question, the news of Captain Napier’s proceedings before Beyrout has set all Paris in a flame. His conduct in commencing operations two «lays before the treaty wasformally communi- catcd to Mehemet Ali, and twelve days before the

ten days having elapsed since Rifat Bey had an»t 15th of'July. When they entered the hall of audi- 1 once, Mehemet Ali caused coffee to be served, and then addressed them thusz—“I know why you are come here, gentlemen; but I have already told you my mind on this business, and I have no Other an- l swer to give. On the English consul wishing to or» f gage him in a conference, he said, “l beg you Will not speak tome any more on the subject.” He then bade them adieu, wishing each a good voyage.

It appears that on the 13th of August, Commo- dore Napier arrived before Beyrout, having under his orders the Benbow 72, the Thundcrer 74, the Powerful 84, and the Edinburgh 72. On the fol- lowing day he was joined by the Castor from '1ri- poli, where she had gone to take in water, and by the Gor n from Alexandria. He: then (two days before t e notification of the Treaty to Mehemet Ali, and 12 days before the period allowed him for consideration could expire) communicated the in- tention of the fbur great Powers to the British Con— sul, and demanded the Turkish troops to be placed under his protection ; also that their arms should be restored immediately to the mountaineers. The following was his letter to Mr. Moore, the English Consul :—' ‘ ’ . p

time fixed for his decision, has been made the sub- ject of loud and indignant complaint by the Parismn press. They view it as an evidence of the determi- nation of England to proceed to extremities and to throw down the gauntlet of defiance to France. The French press seem to be gradually assuming a still more fierce and decided tone. The warlike preparations of France continue with unabated actig vit . The Parisian funds continue feartully agitated.

l‘hursday’s Constitutionnel contains lllfiPOI'bant documents, consisting of the reply of. the nglish, Russian, Austrian and Parisian Consuls, to the cir- cular of Bougis Bey, to re-establish the quarantine of Syria. They say that they cannot conform to"the wishes of the Viceroy, as, according to Art. 10 of the Convention of July 15, this province must be re- stored to the Porte. The Viceroy havin asked for the observations of the consuls on the ondon treaty in writing, a document was drawn up, Signed by the former consuls, headed “Reflections on the actual position of the Pasha, submitted by the Con- suls Generals of Austria, Great Britain, Prussm and Russia.” This paper is divided into the considera- tion of the consequences arisingfrom the Pasha’s acceptance or non-acceptance of the treaty. Alter pointing out the advantage of the Pacha bein recog- nized by the Powers, it proceeds to show t is dan-

coercive measures. It sa 's that he cannot sineg 0 pose the Powers, and w 0 would dare assist him? Vllhat Power would sacrifice its own interests out of pure sympathy for the ‘Palcha? and if a general conflict should be provoked, the Viceroy would be the first sacrificed. No; such an intervention would hasten his win, and the Four Powers would bring forces into the field more than sufficient to fight al .who would oppose the execution of the treaty.

All the Carlist oflicers, present in the capital who signed the convention of Bergara, and the pupils of the academy of San.“ Fernando had tendered theirservices to the junta. 0n the 5th, a corps of Cantabrian sharp-shooters, another of volunteers from Burgos, and a squadron of cavalry from Seria, made their entry intotlie capital, and on the 6th, the 5th regiment of light cavalry was ex- pected from Aranjuez. The Gazette contains a decree ofthe junta, allowing all public functionaries a delay of 24 hours to send in their resignations. Those who should not comply with this injunction were to be considered as having recognized the authority ofthat assembly. .

The Moniteur of Sunday contains the following telegraphic despatcb, dated Barcelona, Sept. 9:—

The municipalities of Tarragona, Reus, and Arcnis—(le-Mar, have declared in favour ofthe insurrection. All is quiet here.”

PoaTUo.u..—Lettcrs dated Sept. 7th, represent uf- fairs to be in an unsatisfactory state, and it is reported that the Court having become alarmed, the Queen is rather disposed to listen to the advice of those who would persuade her to give way and submit to a change of Ministry, by sending to Viscount Sa da Bandeira, and putting herself in his hands. Early in the week ever thing appeared to be going on favourably for the lilinisterialists; all the extensive powers asked from the Cortes had been conceded, the insurrection had not extended, and the measures which were understood to be in progress seemed calculated to bring the business to a speedy end. The Commander ofthe 5th division had senta force of one hundred and fifty cavalry, and the 3d battalion of Cagadorcs, towards Villa Real, to operate against the insurgents. A detacliment‘of the 6th battalion had gone to Portalegre, and proclaimed the revolt, and had been joined by some ofthe National Guard of that place. The 9th and 13th Regiments, it was said, had declared for the revolt. A council of ministers was held at eleven in the morning of the (5th inst, and sat till a late hour, and it is appre- hended that another crisis is at hand.

@CDDECUJEJ‘EAE' almanac). SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1840.

About half-past eight last night, the Steamer ' Inteth arrived from Pictou, with an» Eighth ‘ ,1 necein at Halifax by one of ’Mfl‘Cunai-d’s steam packets, (the CALEDONIA,) which arrived there on Wednesday, in 11 days fi‘om Liverpool.

Our latest London files are to the 17th September.

Events in the East are hastening to a‘crisis. Already

coercive measures against the Pasha of Egypt have been commenced on the part of the British and their allies. The time granted to Mehemet Ali for sub- mitting to the requisitions of the Four Powers, for the, surrender of Syria and the Turkish fleet, having arrived, and the Pasha having refused to submit, Beyrout was blockaded by a British squadron on the 13th August, and several Egyptian vessels have already been sequestrated. The blockade of Alex- , andria was commenced by Admiral Stopford on the 1st September. The fleet of the Pasha was drawn up in order of battle in the roads. These events had occasioned much excitement at Paris, which city was about to be strongly fortified, and orders were issued lbr putting the principal fortified places on the different frontiers of the kingdom in a com- pleté state of defence. -

A revolt had broken out in Spain against the Queen and the Cortes. Madrid was in possession of the revolters on the 7th September.

A Plougliing Match, a Fair and Cattle Show, all under the superiiileurlence and inspection ofthe Central Agricultural Society, have been held iit Charlottetown, or its immediate vicinity, iii the course of the present week.

The Plongliing Match took place on Tuesday, on the Farm of Brighton Lodge, in a field admirably adapted fiir the purpose. The prizes were three in number, and we were somewhat surprised to see that there were only six competitors. Messrs. James Sample, John Ferguson grind Cliurles Ilaszard were the judges, who, after a care- ful inspection of the work, awarded the premiums, as follows :

First Pri2e,405. to Thos.Drumniond,‘PrincetownRoad.

Second do., 303. to Charles VVooloer, Rustico.

Third do., 205. to Charles Howard, York River.

On Wednesday, being the (lin of the Fair, the Town presented a very animated appearance. The weather was exceedingly fine, and fromdlic number of persons present, it would appear as iftlie whole ofthe surround- ing distiicts lindentirely denuded themselves oftbeirpopu- liition. Never, indeed, itwas frequently remarked, were so manyllumnn beings ever zit one time assembled in Char- lottetown on on previous occasion ; and all being dres- sed in tlieir'holiday attire gave to the scene a peculiarly guy as well as bristling appearance. . _ '

A portion of Queen Square was railed off and formed into temporary enclosures for_ horses, neiit cattle, sheep and swine, and the number of animals produced was considerable. In such acrowd it'was difficult to‘arrive at .unv thing like a correct estimate of the extent of the business done, but we understand that a great many salci~ Were effected, hltliorigli not Certainly so manyas had been anticipated, nor did the prices that were ob- taided,_wilh a few exceptions, realise the expectations of the N‘llOIS. - _ r , ~ , .
