The following is an extract from a letter furnished by the Paris Correspondent of the National Intelligencer dated Paris, Oct.17.

"Loydman Pacha is a French officer named Seves; his staff is chiefly French; and I doubt not he is Viceroy in Syria over Ibrahim Pacha, as Mehemet Ali aimed to be over the Sultan and Divan. It seems by the latest advices which the Constitutional of this day furnishes from the department of Foreign Affairs, that Solyman remained in possession of Beyrout: that the Allies had merely attacked small ports, and seized points of the coast of Syria; that the Egyptian forces were masters inland, and too strong to be dispossessed; and that St. Jean d'Acre could stand a siege until the usual severity of the weather after this month and dearth provisions would the assailants from the coast. Whatever, or how rapid soever the possible success of the Allies, the French Government will not brook the deposition-of Mehemet,"
