Omer Pasha, u you have probably heard already.
has been appointed governor of Bagdad, in the place
of Mehemed Pasha, who died there in office. He
does not go there very willingly, but he wishes to
be at a distance from his enemies. The province of

he has made in quitting Europe. The administration
will be entirely in his own hands u governor; he
will have to raise the tribute and pay the army, as
well am all the government officials.
