A few days ago his Majesty, accompanied by Count Bacciochi, M.

The Queen of Great Britain’s speech bas given satisfaction here, inasmuch as it has in the face of the world professed complete allegiance to the entente cord-al with this country, and if it un- diaguisedly exhibits regret at the possible rupture f @ long peace, it distinctly calls upon the pe ple to arm. Nothing less than this was certainly expected, dai all sorta of rumours were afloat, distracting the pad lic mind. At one time it was stated in more than ou well informed coterie that the autograph lett the Czar to the Emperor of the French was 0 vlsu- sible that even Louis Napoleon vegan %o waver; but it is now understood that although some mo- mentary hesitation might possibly have insinu- ated itself among the Council there was never any in its chief. It is known that the Em- peror does not look upon the troubled state of the political arena without disquietude, but is acccmpanied by no dismay. His natural clear sense, his veneration for the recorded opinions of the Great Napoleon, and last, though not least, the fatai- ism which has lent so powerful a bias to all the acts of his strange romantic life will keep him straight and steady in the course he has once determined to pursue. But to return to the Queen’s speech.

But on this being done it did not prove satisfactory to Mr. Mason, who exclaimed-- “No, no! boy, buy!” Again the Frenchman was at fault, and had recourse to the ess, when he de- svended and bought the Minister a fine foulard for three francs—no donbt sapiently expecting the re- maining two as adouceur for himself.

Ba this was only a temporary aspiration. The fact of M. d’Orloff's arrival at Vienna, and hie subsequest | intention to visit Berlin, began to impress strange | suspicions and misgivings on the popalar mind. Tas German Powers bave never been cordially trasted and a belfef is current that s secret treaty exists be tween Anstria and Russia that troops shall be per- mitted to pass through the former country while it still preserves a nominal neutrality. This of course would settle the question as to the fidelity of Aus- tria, and the war, in all probabilty, would change its character at once. The revolutiooary spirit would lift up its hydra head and Canuing’s war of princi ples commence in earnest. The general policy, then, I may unhesitatingly state to be that the die is weil nigh cast, that war is inevitable, that the Czar can not if he would draw back, that at present he has bat one object in view, which is to gain time. leaw a letter this morning dated the 15th from the Sanspareil, the English steam frigate em- ployed in the Euxine in protecting the Turks while conveying troops and reinforcements to Ba- toum, St. Nicholas and [rebizond, and there can be no doubt that the Saltan is receiving very substan- tial assistance from his powerful allies, the French and Boglish, at lat. : The visit of Prince Jerome Napoleon to King Leo. old is @ subject of great interest in the pre- sent crisis. The delicate position of the Belgian king, with his Austrian alliance, his Coburg pres- , and his Orleanist connection, cannot be over rated, and the fact of his receiving the nephew of the Great Napoleon as a friend and guest is one of the singular phases of the period in which we are thrown, Reports are current that in case of Pras- sia or 7 canon te Frat — a op a nest is to for Fren sh troops to be al- Towed a 4 svee Belgium. If wach a re- quest be made, it is difficalt to see how Leopold can re(use, in spite of his Austrian alliance; but there is little doubt his Belgian majesty will vote ita very bitter pill. There is sach a strange afliaity betwixt ‘the people of the two countries, such au attraction, I should say, on the part of Belgiom towards ‘rance, whose laws, language and currency are all her own, that there is no ig what sa passing army of Frenchmen might not kave bebind Fhem germinate.

To a per- ‘son who understands she history, geography, and pre. sent condition of Europe, this movement will appear of momentous and universalinterest. Itia well known in what a feeble state the Prussian fleet has hitherto existed. With no station but the East Sea, there was no hope or possibility of its assuming new life. | It most bave remained for all universal political reta- | tions entirely powerless so long asit had its harbor w this sea alone, and could only be of any possible | importance in case of a hostile attack in that direc tion upon Prussian territory. The Hast Sea is an injand sea, whose waters may be commanded by Russia, and its entrance by Déeumark; and so far as it is bounded on she + es of Russia, Sweden, and Denmark, 80 far is it of only limited special im portance to Prussia. So long as Denmark under the rotection of Rassia commands the entrance to the Eat Sea and the connecting roads, is the Prus- rian fleet blocked up, and there is no tree passage in of Prussia having « harbor in the North Soa. Jahde Bay is probably the best loeation that could be chogen for that purpose. It is said, we know not on what authority, that Rassian influence was used to orevent this project.

How- ever, | am now happy to state, the duties of his of- fice have fallen into regular system, aud the rough places have in some measure become smooth. those who know Governor Vroom, it is to sey that his appointment reflects honor upon government.

His present igh office came to him nvexpectedly and unsought. This fact reflects as much honor on the government ason the man. Onthe 24th day of Devember the American Ambassador gave a Christmas diuuer to the Awerican legation, consisting of Messrs. Wise, Secretary; Porter, Vroom, and Ingham, Attaches.

As he is considered to 6 not only the opinion, but through the direction of the government, the views he presents are full of interest, and entitled to particular examivation. The founda- tien upon which he builds his arguments, is simply this:— The authority of the king, as well as that of | the aristocracy and the church, proceed directly from the Jaws of God and nature; and when man lifts his band against them he violates moral law. His alla- sions to the three great countries of the world, which have somewhat disregarded these lawa—England, | France, aud America—are frequent, free, and fall. | One of his philosophical reflections upon the condi- tion of France may be vew to you, and may be in- structive as throwing light upon the hitherto obscure | subject of the French character, and the causes of po- | litical changes in that country.

Before this letter reaches you the writer will be up the Nile and balf way back; therefore this letter isco dated, though actually written at Shepherd's Hotel, in Cairo, (El Masr, as the Arabs call it.) Your ever present paper found its way to us ont bere near suprise, to our great delight,a few days since, the new Consul-General bringing some up with him, which put me in the notion of scribbling something for it myself. If you dom’t choose to print my rambling reflections, posterity will suffer— that’s all. There are a goodly number of Americans in Ecypt this summer. In fact, they outnumber the travelling English; and the star spangled banner is fast becoming a familiar object to the interesting population of this rich delta, viz :—the Egyptians, Arabs, crocodiles, mosquitos, and travelling tourists, from the volatile Frehclhman, who talks to everybody, down to the saturnine Englishman, who preserves his “talent for silence” with national obsticacy. Every dababrich, or Nile boat, chartered by Ameri- cans flosts the star-spangled banner, and it gives an American a warm feeling about his left side when he sees it flaunting in the brees: under the bright bine sky of old Egypt. There caunot now be loan la, ae- | Sharpness of the traveller,and his trust than fifty Americans up the river, and more of us are coming. Poesibly these surveying parties may be paving the way for annexation, though the revelling in the halls of the Ptolemies would not pay to any but those who possess a fondness for bright sanshine, squatting on divans, strong coffee and mild tobaceo. Smoking, squatting and squabbling are the chief em- ployments of the natives, while the industrious fleet could not hold a candle in activity and energy to the ‘entire insect population of the country; the only in- dustrious population it possesses. Our party reached Egypt at a most favorable time to see the sighta, The great religious festival of the return of the pilgrims from Mecca, and birthday of the prophet, was near at hand, and our new Consul Gene- ral, Mr. De Leon, having arrived soon after, we had also an opportunity of seeing Abbas Pacha, the reigning Viceroy, and the ceremonies of a presents- tion—a very ceremonious business out here, the Pasha insisting on keeping up the old state of Eastern Potentates, On the arrival of the St. Louis at Alexandria, which brought out the Consul and his friend, Dr. Flint, of Maryland, two popular demonstrations were made to Capt. Ingraham, and America generally, by enthusi- astic foreigners in that city. They first assembled in front of the hotel where the Consul was entertaining his friends of the St. Louis, and serenaded the party, calling loudly for Capt. Ingraham, and shouting “Vivas for America, the home of the free,” “the land for the oppressed,” &c. They kept it up so long and so loudly that Judge Jones, the old Con- sul General, finally stepped out on the balcony and made them a short speech in Italian, after which they shouted more strenuously, and thea quietly dispersed. The crowd was quite a large one, and looked like a respectable one. Capt. Ingraham, whose modesty is only equalled by his courage, seemed rather annoyed by jthese lond denunstra- tions. But his trials were not over; for on the next night the manager of the Italian theatre gave an in- vit&tion to the new Consul General to attend the theatre with the officers of the ship, which was ac- cepted. After the first act, a fine looking man in the pit rose up and read a welcome to Capt. Ingra ham, and the Americans generally, which was ac- knowledged by their rising up. The applause was deafening. Cheers were given all round, and finally an American flag was waved from one of the upper boxes, upon which the building was nearly unroofed by the vivas of the audience. Capt. Ingraham and Mr. De Leon—both South Carolinians, by the way— responded to these enthusiastic demonstrations by fe up and bowing to tlfe assembly, which num- pretty women as well as bei men. On the whole it was very graliiyiog to_our national ide to see such marks of respect paid in this far off id to eur country’s flag aud its representatives. Capt. Ingraham and his government have both rea- son to be proud of the sensation his noble act and its endorsement bave occasioued, no’ only in the West, but in the far Hast, and wherever its echo has rolled. If there were any Austrian sympathizers there they sung small, and John Bull, we thought, looked leas uential than usual. Ttell you, Mr. Bennett, an American citizen now stands A No.1 throughout the East. These po don’t regard palaver, but they do admire pluck, and believe now that Brother Jonathan is not to be trified with. But Iam playing a solo on “ Yankee Doodle,” when you expect variations on Egyptian airs. Forgive me, and I will give you my “ Nile Notes,” though not comparable to those of Howadji Cortis, who bas daguerreotyped this country as none buta Yankee could. Bating afew Boston notions, and some affectations of style, that book is about the best guide book a traveller can bring with him into this land of the sacred beetle. His epening chapter on the dragomen in red slippers and bagey reeches, who waylay the voyager at Alexandria, is painfully true. We “took the fatal plunge” at Alexandria, and bear testimony to the truth of the Howadji’s warn- ings, and if you go farther you are apt to fare worse. The ai men and the donkey boys are two addi- plagues to the old plagues of Baypt, all of = yet in full force—the locusts, in the shape of natives, ed “everything green” with wonderful voracity. s The first Arabic on learn is baekscisch, which means money, and the same word is dinned into your ears all time and everywhere, from a whirper with a eter gesture in the streets, to a ecream with tle at the Pyramids and in the desert. The Turks, whe are lords of the country, are a fine lookiag set of men; the elder still retain their national teristios and dress, but the Europeasnized Turk is not au im- proverpent am the animal. Phe Arabs and Egyptians are a very vagabond looking set generally, with many rags to their backs; while the women seem careiul of concealing nothing but their faces, and tbey generally are faces which ought to be hidden. But finsy as you @ separate chapter on charac- teristics, after seeing more of the people. At pre- sent my experience limited to the donkey bors, dragomen, and the usual swarm of beggars tnat fol- low the footeteps of strangers. Alexandria our party did not atop at long, preferring to study it when we came back, being avxious to see the Pyramids. Accordingly, we chartered a Nile boat or dababrich, (the ones are called carrgias,) in preference to taking the steamboat, which takes thirty-six hours to go up, and costs £3 or $15 per msn. The boats are not only small avd without tleeping places, but you have to be towed up the canal forty miles, and changed into the steamboat in the cold gray of the m iz, much flea and mos- quito bitten in the interval. For the Nile boats, the price charged varies entire'y with the gis or rago- men. Americans generally know what they are about, and the class who come to Egypt are 5 rally men of intelligence, aud hard ‘to do.” They have some ot the best boats this year, and at reason- able prices for this place, where eve costs just spout double or treble what it would at home or in Eurcpe—living included. Just think of an im- rovement on Astor House prices in Alexandria and Bair; but it is 20, the oldest inhabitant sighing over the good old times, before ‘‘ the Transit” and travel- lers made a thoroughfare of Egypt, and the Arabian Dights, (and daye,) as costly us those of the Prin- cess Schererade. ‘Travellers who have tolay in a stock of provisions for going up the Nile, are amazed at the prices demanded for the necessaries of life— aud the inhabitants don’t fare much better. Why Brothef Jonathan has not opened a large trade wita this port of Alexandria astonishes all of us who see the opening, and as there are some business men among us, we their re; may induce that enterprising individual to improve it. TI am told that only two or three American ships touch here in the course of a year, and there is actu- ally no trade worth talking about between the two countries. Some notions, sucti as ice, rocking chairs, furniture, &c., were once sent out from ton, and realized very handsome profits ; but it ner cba ee Pope anne ee very great, an for conget ince, brocai fron mes and Sicily. Think of that, Fresh Ponders and Wenham lakers of Boston! Good Havana segars also would go off like smoke, the Manila cheroota having the market here, d costing as much as Havana. But business is not my business at present. Now or the sights. We have seen the Dosch. If you wart to know what that is, you will find a de- tcription of it in Warburton’s book, ‘‘ The Crescent and Cross.” It is a religious festival ending by a Jong procession, and the riding over a pavement of living men by a Sheik on horseback. On this occa- s'on the ride was a long one of 4 feny hundred ards, both brutes (the man and horse) being Leory, and the latter shod wit) iron, in the Tarkish fashion, the shoe being circular. The wretches rushed forward, or were di on by others, seeming)y drank or stupified, and do Mba ger wo solidly, and over their prostrate bodies rode the She islam, with a great green tarban on his b stupified, (probably with opiom,) snd one man ‘on each side held him on snd dregged forward the horse, who seemed more re- luctant than any concerned in the ceremony. His very reluctance, however, made the eavier on the bodies beneath bim, many of whom must have been crushed. But the crowd closed in as he passed, and bore away the scarcely conscious victims—some writhing and been A the mouth like madmen, others stretched out like corpses. What injary was done is impcssible to say ; but all could not have es caped. I, myself, saw the bloody foam oozing from the lips of some thus borne away. When the Sheik dismounted, some of us forced our way up to him. He presented the appearance of a drunken man, swaying fiom side to side «s he stood, and his eyes ly lustrelese, Qpiam, probably, or baecisoh, bad prepared bin for a task from which our common humavity revolts.

No man who has ever w nessed it once can ever forget it, or desire to see it sgein.

Judge Jones introduced all round, and then chibouques were oe in, the most magnificent I ever beheld, the long stems ornamented with gold fillagree work, and encrusted with circles of diamonds. Those banded to the Pacha and the two Consuls were particularly splendid; but at least a dozen of them were produced, at which all vigoro' inbaled in emoky silence.

Then broke the si- lence the ex-Consul, Judge Jones, in French, (ren- dered into Turkish by the interpreter.) giving the compliments of the season—taking his congé, and introducing his successor. The Pacha answered through the same medium, in the same style—som- aisenting the retiring, welcoming, the succeed- ing Coxsul, and charging the former to bear.back his paeeel respects to the President of the United The new Consul then made (in English) a few re- marks to the Pacha, which were also are by the dragoman, expressing his pleasure he hed “been selected to bear the greetings of Young Ameri- ca to Old Egypt, and touching on the ease with which the commercial relations of the two countries could be inereared.

At the door down stairs we found an Arab charger, as fine as fine trappings could make him, with crimson velvet saddle and gilt finery, who pre- ceded our ride back, prancing all the way, to the great admiration of the natives—another part of the ceremony. To refuse these would be considered in- sulting; therefore our government has allowed it in ae. ehiont Pema the Consul to “backscisch”’ liberally to all the Pacha’s retainers, which the gifts are made to cost very dear; but this is always the case with Eastern pre- sents, Politeness is the only thing you 3 but that of the finest quality, and in fasion.
