SATURDAY, ,

• -
went to the house of our countryman, Colonel Stamati
Giorgiadea, but he was not at home. The next day we
went to Bourgi, where we found Stamati, his son, and
another person. On the same day we returned to Chalcis
with Stained, in a bark belonging to the latter. We re-
mained a month with Stamati, to whom we related the
murder of the English sailors. He approved of our con-
duct.
" Of those who accompanied me eighteen left Chalois for
Stylida.
" Stamati advised me to turn pirate, to make for the coast
of Anatolia, and to wait there till the time came to attack
Samos.
"We left Chalois in a perame. We touched at Tsourat,
Tinos, and Mycone, and thence we went to Samoa. Having
repented of my conduct, I made my submission to the
governor of the island, to whom I detailed all the circum-
stances connected with the assassination of the crew of the
English brig."

EL HHAAII PACHA,
THZ only son of Abbas Pacha, late Viceroy of Egypt, ar-
rived at Portsmouth last Saturday evening m his splendid
steam-yacht the. Feih Djehad. His intention had been
to pay a visit of some length to this country, and
afterwards to make the tour of Europe, but the
melancholy tidings of his father's death, which first met
him upon arriving off our shores, have necessarily put a
atop to this plan.
When the settlement took place between the Sultan and
the Egyptian Viceroy, in which the European powers par-
ticipated, it was stipulated that the viceroyalty should be,
inherited by the eldest living descendant of Mehemet Ali, in
order to avoid the troubles of the government of a minor.
Thus Ibrahim Pacha, who succeeded Mehemet Ali, left
sons : but as Abbas Pacha, the late Viceroy, and who was a
grandson of Mehemet Ali, was older than those children, he.
became Viceroy, and the sons lost their rank immediately
after their father's death. Said Pacha, the present
Viceroy and Ibrahim Pacha's sons, are all older than El
Hhami Pacha, and, of course, entitled to the throne before
him. El Hhami Pacha, however, being the only son of
Abbas Pacha, was while his father lived the next most dis
tinguished person in the kingdom, and as Abbas Puha
WAS, just previous to his death, in the prime of life, there
was every probability of his son filling that position for a
long series of years. He was made Minister of War in
Egypt, and was betrothed to the Sultan of Turkey's daugh-
ter, a child six years of age ; and according to the custom
of the East, and the rank of such a powerful vassal as his
father was of the Sultan's, El Hhami Pacha visited his in-
tended father-in-law in great state, with a present of
100,1 001. sterling in English sovereigns. After his betrothal
he obtained permission from the Viceroy and Sultan to
make the grand tour of Europe, and commenced that tour
under the brightest auspices and a style of great magnifi-
cence. His father had made him immensely rich, and
given him the famous steam-yacht the Feih Djehad to
travel in. This yacht was built by Mare, of London, a few
years ago, for Abbas Pacha, at an expense of 110,0001.
El Hhami Pacha left Alexandria on the 13th ult., after
taking leave of his father, who was then in good health, and
urposed touching at Malta, Gibraltar, and landing in
England at Southampton. The prince had upwards of
thirty persons forming his suite, some of them distin-
guished Egyptians, and a retinue of Nubian, Abyssinian,
and Circassian slaves. The whole of the persons on board
where nearly 4110. Amongst these were thirt3-one pils
and two masters from the Egyptian naval school. Tuphe
chief persons of the suite were Suliman Pacha, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Egyptian army ; Khairedden Pacha,
Minister of Commerce in Egypt ; Abdullah Pacha,
Director-Genend of Egyptian Transit and Railway; Ali
Bey and Murad Effendi Bey, aides-de-camP ; and Dr.
Lauder. the prince's physician. Suliman Pacha is the well-
known French officer, Colonel Say, who has spent a life.
time in the Egyptian service. It is to him that Mehemet
Ali and Ibrahim Pacha were indebted for the superior or-
ganisation and successes of the Egyptian army. He is a
bale and fine old man, above 80 years of age. He was on
board the Bucentaur at the time Nelson received his death-
wound from that ship at the battle of Trafalgar. His
delight at visiting Europe in the Feih Djehad was un-
bounded, and at every spot he passed which was remembered
by him in connection with any historic event he celebrated
it by drinking a glass of champagne. Amongst these places
Cape Trafalgar was not forgotten, and he and Captain
Mackenzie sat and talked over the terrible scenes that oc-
curred there.
The news of the death of the late Viceroy of Egypt
reached England by way of Malta and Marseilles, partly by
means of the electric telegraph. It reached Malta aftet
the departure of the Feih Djehud, and of course the prince
could not hear the disastrous intelligence until his arrival
at Southampton. Soon after the yacht anchored on
Saturday night, a small steamer left Southampton pier,.
having on board Mr. Larkin. the Egyptian political agent,
and other officers. On reaching the Feih Djehad Mr
Larking and his party stepped on board, and the former im-
mediately went below. In less than five minutes, all
persons who were crowded round the state cabin on the
main deck started hack, for the prince, convulsively sobbing,
was carried into it by his attendants, and slaves stood
around outside, to prevent any one approaching it. El
Miami Pacha had heard of his father's death, and had
learnt the precariousness of earthly greatness. He had
sunk to a private station under an Eastern despotism.
Orders were issued for immediate preparations to be made
to return to Alexandria. The prince had lost a royal parent ;
all his suite had lost their rank, situations, and a princely
benefactor. The consternation on board can scarcely be
imagined.
This young prince, it may be added, is shout 17 years
of age, speaks French and English with great fluency.
He was educated at Grand Cairo under the csre ?f
Europeans and at great expense. It is not likely that his
