'<■ — t ———— The Presidential f lection. The National Intelligence the sth says:—lf the issue of the great contestfests in doubt in one or two States, the tide of vic rory sets in from oth ers with overwhelming force; giving assurance of the final and g.onou* triumph of the Whig cause, and the expulsion of the Spot Jets. Ohio , Leads the way with a greasy increased majority since the Governor’s election' and a probable ma jority for Harrison and lieforA of 24,000. Maryland Follows, with a Whig increase in every county and city yet heard from, and a probable majority in the Stale of 4,000 Connecticut Succeeds, with an increased majority since the spring election o f near 2,000, ;~id an actual majori ty of 6,500. Hhode Isluntl. A majority of 2,000. New Hampshire. The Granite State has gond for Van Bmen, as was expected. Van Buren’s majority in 1836 was 14,469; Hill’s (V. B.) for Governor in 1838, 3,134; Page's (V. 8.) 18‘0, 8,1/6. We think Van Buren’s majority now will not exceed 2,500. Maine. The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser of the 4th says : —The news from the East this morning is of the most cheering character. The result in Port land, and in Cumberland comity, leaves no doubt that Maiie has thrown her Electoral vote for Gen. Harrison. In Portland alone, the Whigs have gained ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE VOTES since September. The Whig majority in Po tland is SIX HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN.' The Whig trains, in the towns as far as heard from, over the vote of September are THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN.' Under these circumstances, we encounter not the least hazard in announcing that Alains has cast her vote for Harrison ■ u New York, The Commercial Advertiser bf Wednesday eve ning says .- —From the interim- we have favorable reports, but as the pops do riot close any where until sun-down this evening, a|l is matter of con jecture. Unless our friends |ire deceived, their most sanguine expectations Were exceeded on Monday, and down to 4 o’clo^ 1 k yesterday after noon. ... . . \ i rgisua.. The returns fiom Virginia a.-e still very contra dictory. ihe Globe of the 4'th has returns from 64 counties, which give Van Buren 1,480 majority. We give *he Globe’s account fur what it is worth, as the Intelligencer of next lay (the sth) has re turns from 37 counties only. Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Sentinel (a Van Buren paper) of Wednesday morning has from forty nine counties, which give Harrison a majority of 2,043. Instead of repeating t’ae majorities ascertained and reported in the several counties heard from, and whi h, from the which still rests on some of them, decide nothing, we will only give the estimates of the latest Philadelphia papers on : both sides. The National Gazette (Whig ; of Tuesday eve ning estimates the Harrison majority at from 1110 to 1200 votes. The United States Gazette (Whig) of Wednes day morning makes a probable Harrison majority' of about 1400 votes. The Pennsylvanian (V. B. paper) of Wednes day morning claims the State for Van Buren by about 1,000 votes. For ourselves, from a comparison of all the data furnished by ah the papers, we; incline strongly to the opinion that the State has gone for Gen. iiairi son by a small majority. For the Chronicle 4 Sentinel. Gestixmes —Allow me, through your paner, to suggest to the delegation from Richmond county, the propriety of urging before ilje Legislature now in session, a few pointed and ‘spirited resolutions that will convey a just sense ok Georgia’s indigna tion at the outrage and insult committed on the Bioad Seal of one of the States cf this confederacy, -»u the organization cf the lionise of Representa tives of the last Congress —thus-by a gross, fraudu lent, and unpveced ntod vo a tub of the Constitu tion, disregarding without excuse or apology, the rights of the Sta es, and annihilating the very basis of representative government. You will per ceive, gentlemen, that this is a question which dees not confine itself to New Jersey, it is one of th e very few expressed in the Constitution, which, if trampled upon, would create ip every State that came into the compact with Republican principles, such universal indignation and such revolutionary spirit as would instantly iiso y* this Union. Need I appeal to Georgians to know how they would feel, and to know what they would da, if when their Representatives came forward with commis sions bearing the bioad sea!, thus rejected, and ad mittance refused in the counc of a country they were taxed to support, and Icy whose existence their blood was once spilt to establish ? 1 hen speak forth in a loud, stern, anji just rebuke, from your legislative hulls, against ,lmo?e who dared to sacrifice the rights of a sister State, and violate the Constitution to effect narty piitjrposes—and no true Georgian who is worthy the privileges and protcc tion of the Broad Seal of his Mate, wi 1 refuse to cr.v out amen to what you wilhhave done.

We have recent accounts from Tampa Bay, which state that several of the chiefs and war riors have come in, and informed the command ant that the Indians were generally desirous of maxing peace, and wished for a talk with the whites. Atec Tustenuscgee, the principal chief, and Tiger Tail, were at Tampa, and had agreed to remain as hostages for the attendance of the chiels and warriors of their nation, at the/rz/A vv hich had been appointed at Fort King on the 7th inst. The whites have so often been cheated and cajo ed by the treachery of the Indians, lhat no reliance should be placed on their promises, or 1 confidence given to their stall ments. Il they have Alec Tuestenuggee and Tiger Tail, we hope they will be properly taken care of and not be suffered to escape, for the purpose of renew ing their midnight mutdersand robberies.— Tal lahassee Star of the 3 d.

By the arrival of the Westminster, from Lon- ' don, and the Lours Pmlippe, from Havre, we have ' I London papers lo the loth ot October, and Pans and Havre lo the Till. Tne following summary 1 contains all the intelligence additional to vvtiat we * published yesterday, after the arrival ol the New I York. i B y a royal ordinance published on the Bih, the ’ ; French Chambers were convoked, lo meet on the i 28ih. ' 'i A note from the French government was re ceived by Lord Palmerston on the 9lh, said to * contain a declaration tha ghe disposition of Me- * hemet Ali from tire Pachaoc of Lgypl must not ■ ! be entorced—that an attempt lo euiorce it will be * considered by France equivalent to a declaialion * of war. [We suspect that the English papers have fall- 1 en into an error in saying ihat Menemel Iras been deposed as Pacha of E ypt —that the newly ap pointed Pacha, Mehemel Izzet, is entrusted only ‘ with the goveinineut ot Syria.] It was luruoren in Paris that the allied forces * ’ had been attacked by Ibrahim Pacha, and compell- c ed to re-embark; but this is scarcely credible. ' ' Covered as they were by the shipping, and stir- * rounded by entrenchments, twice the force ofibra- 1 firm could not dislodge rhem.

We give below a summary of the most impor tant intelligence. THE EASTERN QUESTION. In confirmation of the news published in this morning’s Allas, our papers received per Britannia announced the probability of a pacific arrange merit of Eastern affair.-.. But vve should stale that this probability is. after all. only an opinion i upon which people in general and merchants ! in particular, decline acting: and that although the general tone of the press is pacific, the ac- j counts of actual occurn rices in the East are ve- j ry contradictory. 'l ire Lund m Bun ol Oct. 19, | observes:— Upon the whole, however, the impression in Pans on Saturday was, that the question would lie settled pacifically. Active negociations were known to be carrying on between tne Cabinets . ot France and England for arranging the basis j of a final aihusirnent, and it is not unknown that already many of the greatest difficulties have dis appeared. Already have the Ambassadors of the Four Powers of the Porte been instructed to communicate to the Sultan, that while they ad mit the abstract ritrht ot iiis Highness to depose , Mehemel Ali they ne>eitheies.s trust that in the I event of ihe Viceroy’s early submission the sen ■ fence will he revoked, and Eaypt and a part of Syria grained to the Egyptian Rulers. They have fuilherocen commanded to signify ' to the Porte ihat as the Consuls of the four ' Powers had quilted Alexandria, no time ought lo be lost in communicating to the Pacha the be nevolent and eracious intentions of his Imperial master. We had expected that some such pru dent step would be taken, and we are weil satis fied that it has been taken so early as to appear { the spontaneous act of the Four Powers. That the Porte will offer any opposition to the recom mendation of the Four Powers is inconceivable inasmuch as they have charged themselves with 1 the entire settlement of tire question agreeably • to the wishes of the Porte itself. 'The Allies are masters of a position rather alarming for the Pacha. They were in possession of Baid. Jaffa; Djiuni, Diebail, Kaiifa, and Tripoli, but Soiim.tn Pacha Poad reentered the Beyrou l , which they had declined to occupy, as they could not command the hills in its rear, whence, the Egyptian army could at any time j destroy the town Acre had not been attacked, ■ and was supposed to be capable of serious resist ance. Tne Alexandrian correspondent ot the Muniteur stair s ihat the tow ns on the sea coast , of Syria are easdv taken but that on theircaplure ; depends not the fate of Syria. : “The French Government.” says the .Ministe rial evening papers, “ has received the despatches 1 brought to Marseilles ny the last Medi erranean j picket. They ie t Alexandria on the 2tnh ult. The Government have not yet received those da- ] led Oct. 3. which arrived on Tuesday at Toulon. ( Those of the 26th contain no new fact; they confirm wiial was already known, that the Li ban- < us was tranquil, and that Me hemet. All was re- 1 stnr. d to health and was perfectly calm and reso lute. No accounts had been received from Ibra- [ him Pacha, but il was known that he was con centrating his forces, and that bis plan was to ( surround tne Turkish camp, which had been formed to the north of Bey rout. The combined 1 fleets had cannonaded eid and Kaiffa.” 1 A letter from Ah xandiia, 3d inst. states that Mehemel Ali has issued a firman, declaring 1 ali in.- population of Syr a exempt from military 1 conscription and aii persons who will join Ihra- ( hirn’s armv exmpt from tribute fur the remainder of their lives. Admiral Stopford, it was [thought, ’ would return off’Alexandria.— 1 be blockade was to commence on that day, and no further com munication w'ith Europe would be allowed. The Frenca Consul had ordered all persons un der his jurisdiction to be ready to ernbai K at a moment’s notice. This, it was thought, uidictated the probability of a bo bardnient. A levy of ] 50.000 irn gu ars ( Bedouins) was making, and ; they would be placed along the coast. All the * points where any landing could be effected were strictly guarded. This letter confirms the ac- | c<;unt of Ibrahim Pacha, Having been ordered to j march on Constantinople, and of a holy war be < ing proclaimed. < The Semaphore of Marseilles quotes the follow - I ing from Alexandria, 26;h ult. The Pacha, on receiving tae news of his de- 1 position assembled a grand council, at which he decia.ed that nothing was left tor him but an ap peal lo the sabre.—Proclamations are about lo be issued eat ing all true believers to arms.—Egypt is fortified from Damietta to the Marabout, and 60.000 men are collected at Alexandria.

The death of Hammerslcy, the banker, and actual failure of his bank, is causing a deal of trouble, especially to travellers on the continent who bold the circular bills ot credit which Ham mer.-ley issued to a large amount. Letters of n arque . gainst England have been applied for at Havre, to be ready in case of hc.s iilities. The government ha.- also applied to Na ples for leave to establish a naval station at Mes sina. The Bank of England has given notice that they will discount no notes or bills having more than 65 lays to run. This, of course, has a ma ter al effect in the money market. The Queen was expected to take up her resi dence at Buckingham Palace, for her accouche ment, about the tirst of November. Her iVlajes tv was marriid, it may be remembered, on the 10th of February.
