TIDE REPORTS.

( From a Correspondent of the Times.)
The Duke was receiled at the Maison Dieu by the
INLyor and Recorder of Dotter, and conducted by them
through a double line of noblemen and gentlemen (who
w. re &,semlileil to welcome the Duke, and to sit in the
ehairtn.:ri's gallery) to an apartment magnificently fitted
up for the occasion. Here the requisite introduction
to I,is Grace took place of the noblemen and gentlemen
al-o were to sit on the dais, or chairman's gallery.
The iirchitect (Mr. Edmunds) was also introduced
to hi, Grace by the Mayor of Dover, and bad the ho-
nour of presenting to him a manuscript volume of plans
and drawings exhibiting every part of the building, which
his Grace was pleased to accept.
The whole of the company being then assembled in
the body of the pavilion and the ladies' gallery, the,
Duke, preceded by the Speaker of the Cinque Ports, was
then conducted by the architect through the body of the
pavilion to the chairman's gallery to his seat, and in
like mariner at the close of the entertainment was con-
ducted back.

The dimensions of the pavilion are as follow :

Width l2O
lit igbt to eaves of side roofs 22
---- to top of side-roofs and bottom of lantern 38
to top of lantern and bottom of centre
roof 4B
---. to top of centre roof 5B
The building was divided into five ailes, the centre
being 45 feet wide, and 48 feet high, the sides being N
feet and 18 feet respectively, and averaging from 38 to
22 feet high.

As the company had to be received by three o'clock,
it was necessary that the pavilion should be arranged
for daylight as well as gaslight, and in consequence the
centre roofing, rising ten feet higher than the sides,
permitted the introduction of a series of transparencies,
extending 400 feet in length and ten feet in height, to
admit light, containing a rich architectural bo►uer or
guellochi, with the arms of the various to ems of the
Cinque Ports, and a variety of characteristic emblems.
The lighting of the gas was arranged by the ringing
of a bell by the architect, which was the signal for five
men to go to their posts to be prepared to turn on the
gas, and in three minutes afterwards, when the architect
rang the bell a second time, the gas was lighted at once
from eleven chandeliers most brilliantly, and as it hart-
pened to take place at the moment the Duke rose to
return thanks, the effect was electrical,

ADDRESS OF MEHEMET ALI TO
THE PACHAS OF THE OTTOM:`,/i EMPIRE.

It has no doubt come to the 'knowledge of your Excel-
lency that the Sultan Medschid Khan, our lord,
has ascended the throne which his venerable father occu-
pied, who has been called to a better life. When I
learned this glorious event, I fired salvos of artillery
for three days from the fort of Alexandria and the Get.,
in this port, and I ordered my well-beloved son,
him Pacha, and all the other governors of provi'acee,
to have prayers said in the different mosques The
Seraskier of the East, Hafiz Pacha, excises by en-
treaties of Kosrew Pacha, and conformab).y to orders
which he had received, fomented disor,iers in the district
of Aintab. For the purpose of spar.ng tdussulman blood
I conscientiously avoided giving any motive for renewal
of hostilities, and I so wrote irequeney to my son. But
as, however, Soliman, the Pacha of Marasch, was put
into possession of Aintab, and as I had every reason to
believe that all the fine fruits of the beneficent son of
our powerful Sovereign, thanks to my zeal and constant
efforts, would be destroyed, I resolved, though with grief
and tears in my eyes—l ordered my courageous
son to give battle, and immediately after victory
to cross the Euphrates ; but scarcely had the
news of the coming. to the thrune of Abdul
Medschid reached me, I, without waiting for any of-
ficial announcement, said to myself, let all that has passed
be passed. I pole immediately counter-orders to my son
not to pursue the course of his glorious success after the
victory of Nezib, and to bring back the army over to
the other side of the Euphrate's if it had passed the
riser. I addressed then frequent prayers to God, that
he would take under his protection our beloved Sove-
reign, giving him days without end, and that his faithful
servants, great and small, might live under his paternal
shade. But then a man rose up, Kosrew Pacha, first
cause of all the evils which have fallen on the empire.
Profiting by the circumstances which embarrassed us at
the moment, he seized upon the high post of Grand
Vizier, and his first ordinances proved to me that he
exercised his functions in the most arbitrary manner.
Kosrew has never done any good for the nation or
the throne, and all his life presents a series of actions
fatal to the State, to the people, and to me. The
Admiral, Achrnet Pacha, is the first who has judged
the future actions of this man by his former acts.
" Kosrew," said he, " is a dangerous man ; and shall
I, under the circumstances in which we are placed, put
the fleet which the Sultan confided to me, after having
formed it with so much pains and expense, into the hands
of a man who will soon destroy what has cost so much ?
No, no ; I would sooner go to Alexandria ; the two fleets
of the empire shall then be united ; that is the best
means of serving the Sovereign and the nation."
The officers of the fleet partook the sentiments of
their chief with common consent ; the signal to sail was
made, and we saw within eight days 25 imperial vessels
display their colours in the roads of Alexandria.-
The Capitan Pacha was received by me with all the
honours due to his rank, and he continues to be treated
with great respect.
As for me, old and faithful servant of the empire, I
could not resolve to see Kosrew Pacha take in hand the
helm of the state, my duty commanded me to write to
him as I did, and 1 charged Akiff Effendi tag deliver
him a letter, in which I requested hien to resign. I'
wrote at the same time to the illustrious aunt and
glorious mother of our lord, to the Schiele In Islam,
incorruptible defender of the law, and to the noble
Ali Pacha, brother-in-law to the Sultan, ►praying them
to take into consideration the deplorable; situation of
the Mussulman nation, and to turn Kosrew Pacha out
of the Government. The sincere friendship which
has always bound me to the Pachas devoted to, the in-
terests of the empire, has engaged toe to make known
my conduct, and to make them acquainted with all I
have done. Believing your Excellency to be one of
the most powerful and most faithful, I have sent you
this letter by one of my agents, and I hope you wily
join with me in getting rid of Kosrew Pacha, Ste.
