The disturbances in Paris have for a time diverted the
atten- tion of the journals from their warlike designs agairst England, though the affitirs of the East, which gave rise to their animosity, have assumed a more decidedly hostile aspect. The term permitted to Munioarr Am for considering the proposition of the Allied Powers having expired, he was waited upon by their representa- tives, accompanied by the Envoy front the Sultan, to obtain his final deci:-.ion. His answer was given with firmness, and but with little respect. The Pasha is determined not to consent to the proposed terms of settlement, and will oppose force by force, though he will not commence hostilities. The French Govern- ment had previously sent an envoy to Alexandria to proffer advice to the Pasha, and to induce him, it is conjectured, to accept a compromise. If such were the object of the missioo, it has signally filled. It now remains for the Four Powers either to act upon their declaraticn and proceed to coerce the rebellious Pasha,
or to enter into fresh negotiations. Captain NAPIER seems determined there shall be no shilly-shally work on his part at least. He has captured, without type,itimo several Egyptian ships on the Syrian coast, and among them one unarmed frigate. When he arrived before Beyrout, he communicated to the Governor the intentions of the allies, mid demanded that the Turkish troops should be placed under his command: and that the arms taken from the mountaineers should be restored. Ile issued procla- mations calling on the troops and the mountain chiefs to return to their allegiance to the Sultan, and promising them assistance from Constantinople. These attempts to excite a movement against the Pasha in Eeyrout and the neighbouring country seem to have been attended with no results. The feeling of the mass of the inhabitants is represented to be favourable to :MEHEMET AM. and the attempt to dispossess hint will, it is CX• pected, rouse thcm to take his part. Inumum Pasha was marching with 15,000 men to defend Beyrout from the threatened attacks. At Constantinople an expedition was preparing for Syria. The time for action has now comae, and it' the Allies seriously intend to attempt the expulsion of Mmuntior Ata from Syria, war in the East seems almost inevitable.
