POSTSCRIPT

SATURDAY.

The 211oniteur of Thursday contradicts an official statement published in its own columns, under the head "Telegraphic Despatch from Mar- seilles," that MEHEMET ALT had been summoned by the Firs. Powers to deliver up the Ottoman fleet. It appears that the only authority for this statement WaS a verbal report from the commander of a Levant steam-boat.
