      FOREIGN * The Representatives of the Fives Great Powers have signed " a c ^ liccUvo note" Btating flut they had come to an agreement upo& tile affairs of Turkey , and requesting tho Porto uot to commence , or to continue if commenced , any negociations with Mehemet . - "Ali . . This intimation of protection was thankfully received by the Porte ; and Lord Palmerston assured the House ofCommonsthat there would be no now disturbance . of peace vx the £ aisty unless from unforseen , accidents . All tho rumours , therefore , of " a ; great blow" about to bo struck by Enjj > -

The Egyptian Pacha is busy inooiivertmg tlva TurkishuiWau ^ Egyptian iieot , by mingling tho crews together ancl changing the unif orm of tho Turkish officers . The Capitau / Pacha enhanced thxj value of his treason by giving up the military-chest with £ 120 , 000 to Mehemet , ; It ia said to be Mehemet ' s firm , resolve not to relinquish any portion of his present po ^ essions , but to r etaiu Syria as well as Egypt and Tripoli .

      Letters from Bahu mention several annoyances to -which tho masters of British merchant-vessels are subjected by the Brazilian authorities . In consoqiioiico of the seizure of tho Braz ilian slaye ships , it is said , a " bad .. feeling against the English has spread to every iudividuiil , from the Minister of State to the lowest Custom-house-offiwr . " Fatal Wepdino . —A few days ago , a wedding coach , containing eight persons , among whom were the young bridal couple , returning from tho church where they had been married , passed through the vill f Bollwerk

      age o j near Elbing . The horses suddenly took fright , started oft' at a furious ; rate ; and fell with tho vchiclo into the Elbing river . Five of tho inmates of the coach found there a watery grave ; onlj ^ he bridegroom , his > motlier-in * law , and a maidservant escaped . The bride was amoug the dro % iicd . The dead bodies were found cramped ina convulsivo manner to the seats of the carriage ; The Lcipm C / azettc states that tho King of Hanover has been induced ; by Prince Metteniich , to adopt a conciliatory policy towards his discontented subjects .

      Spain . —According to the last accounts from Navarre , the revolt against Maroto . wau spreading . An attempt had been made to induce a body of-the revolters to submit , by assuring them that Don Carlos was a free agent , ami required their obedience to Miiroto ; but the soldiers required an order from Don Carlos himself , and the dismissal of the Minis ters by whom ho was surrounded , as preliminaries to any negotiation ; The Journal de la Meusc contains an account of a severe storm which took place near Montmedy a few days since . Many communes have been completely ravaged . The hail fell in great quantity , and as large as walnuts ; many houses were inundated . One person had four hundred head of poultry killed by the storm . The total lo . ss in the district is very great .

      France . —In Paris Lord Melbourne's observations on the conduct of the French at Pof tendic , have been interpreted to moan something very serious ; and the Opposition journals blame Marshal Soult for submitting'to the "insolent audacity" of England . The French capital is very dull . The King took his departure , with his familyi on Wednesday , to a country seat at Eu , near Dieppe ; and the Duke and Duchess of Orleaus arc travelling iu the Soutli ot France . They were tolerably Well received -at ' -Bordeaux ¦ , though the - "Mayor , hi his complimentary address , called tho Duke ' s attention- to the melancholy state of trade .

      The military admitted into tho Hotel deslnvalides of Paris arc classed in the following manner , according to their infirmities and ages : —Blind , 154 ; having lost l ) oth legs , 12 ; having lost one leg , 313 ; amputated of both arms , 9 ; of one arm , 226 ; paralytic , or impotent from pains , 237 ; epileptic , 12 ; insane , 31 ; with silver noses , or chins , 8 ; lamcj with feet turned in , or unable to walk , 133 ; with their feet frozen at Moscow , 28 ; disabled of the bauds , 13-2 ; various other wounds , 1 , 027 ; lay brothers , who seldom go out , and do nothing , 178 ; admitted as septuagenarians , olfi /; admitted as upwards of { JO / 87 . Total , 3 , 051 . The nuuibov of admissions into-the Hotel is , on an average , two hundred per annum . — VapUole .

      RissiA . —A St . Petersburg paper states that the inhabitants of the village of Fedorowka , at tho foot of a mountain on the banks of the Wolga , were awakened iromtliQir sleep in the night of June ieth , by ajubise , resembling tljat of an earthquake ; and , on rushing . out , found that- great part , ot \ the village had become detached froni the mountain , and was moving towards the river . The motion was similar to that of an immense raft floating in an agitated sea .

      The undulations continued for three successive days , and then subsided ; but not more than seven houses \ ver , e destroyed or rendered uninhabitable . Many ponds and other pieces of water were covered with mouiidsof earth , and where no water had been small pools were formed . No lives were lost . Tho circunistaiice is accounted , for by the village haying been built upon an alluvial soil ; and the river having undermined the soft earth , had , it is supposed at length rendered it partially hollow , so as to give way under its own weight .

It appears that the driver , having . suspiciori- of some one ridingibeliind , cut at him with his whip , and the boy , in endeavouring to get down , had his le £ s caught b y tho wheel , and wais thrown down withgreat violence . It was found that his leg was dreadfully fractured j and that he had re ^ ceived other severe injuries .

We are infprined that this extreme expedition is an experiment under directipn of the Government , in order to ascertain the shortest possible time in wMeh such a vessel can be completed . The number of hands have been unlimited ; in fact , the men are working on her , at the present moment , as thick as bees in a hive , and they are allowed to niake as many working-hours pet day as they can . The sum apportioned for thpJabour , we nnderstand , is £ -1000 ; and should it not cost that sum , the overplus is to be divided among the men . -Tho experiment lias excited the greatest possible interest in the neighbourhood . —Greenwich Gazette .

      Progress of Chartism amoxgst a People cojip arati VEI . V not Distressed . —A correspondent has scut us a few facts which ought td convince our rulers that Chartism—that is , the principle of political equality—is a thing deep down in the very centre of the heart of man , and thoreforb . not to be . extrnguished by persecution and the sword . It is waxing in strength daily in no less a place than Chelteuhani audits immediate vicinity , where good wages and indepeudeuce are , in comparison with other districts , mdrb the lot of industry . Our cor ^ respondent informs us that 150 womenand several

      , hundred men , walked from Cheltenham to a neighbouring village ( ten miles oft *) and back , to disseminate Chartism , and that they intend repeating their-visit . - They have also held a large meeting and above 3 , 000 have signed a petition to the Queen in - . favour , of the Birmingham convicts : and on Sunday last , after attending the parish church in great numbers , they assembled in the opeii air , when Mr . Moore , from Tewkesbury , delivered a very eloquent and iinpressiife address , which appeared to have a very striking effect on all , even those opposed to tho doctrines of Chartism . —True Sim .

      NontlUMreoN . r-On Monday so'nnight , this town exliibited a scone o ? determined vigour in support of tho political demands of the people . Early in the norniug , a baud , accompanied by a number of flags , bearing appropriate inscriptionf ; , paraded the streets , to the ; great discomfiture of all those who are satisfied with " things as they arc . " Not a printer in the town would print the bills announcing a public meeting , and the . reBdlutions as suggested by the Convention . Conseaueiitly , tho Convention issued written placards , which had the desired effect of giving . full publicity . The meeting assembled on the Alayenhold , a waggon having been provided for the speeches , and Thomas Parry , shoemaker , was . called to tho chair . The business of the meeting was

      then opened by singing a Democratic chorus , after which the chairmau read a letter received from the Mayor of the town , purporting his willingness for the working classes to hold a public meeting , provided they did not disturb the peace , &c . He ( the Chairman . ) hoped the meeting would pay strict attention to what might be said b y the different speakers , and trusted that all those who differed in opinion from the sentiments expressed , would come forward on t he platform , and calmly and dispassionatel y discuss the matter .
