EGYPT.

The fresh Egyptian auxiliaries from Alexandria
will, as we understand from communications from
Varna, of the Ist, go direct to Balaklava, instead
of first proceeding to Constantinople, as has been
the case heretofore, and will thus be very much
earlier on the scene of action. 6,000 Egyptian
cavalry were expected to arrive at Balaklava on the
6th inst., and four steamers were to go from Yarna
to Balaklava, to return with transport ships for
the conveyance of provisions from Varna to the
allies. Mean while the four steamers sot off to
Alexandria, to return with 4,000 Egyptian artil-
lerymen. About 12,000 Egyptian auxiliaries,
mostly cavalry, have joined the expeditionary army
by this time.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Omer Pacha seems to have already commenced
operations against Bessarabia. He passed through
Galatz on the Ist inst., on his way to Ibraiia. The
Turkish corps ooncentrated at Schumla, according
to letters of the Ist of the month from dalatz, were
then on their way from thence to Trojan's Wall.
The Turkish Danubian flotilla is concentrated at
Hirsova. It will be made use of in the conveyance
of troops from thence to Galatz.
A letter from Copenhagen, Bth, states that the
President of the Volksthing in the sitting of the
previous day informed the Chamber that the pro-
positions made in the preceding session relative to
the modification of the Constitution had not been
accepted by the King.
A 'letter from Rome, of the 30th ult., in the
Parlamento of Turin, states that a few days before
the officer commanding the Papal gendarmes sta-
tioned at Marino, near Rome, was assassinated.
The crime Was attributed to party spirit.
The Augsburg Gazette states that the Prussian
Jews are at present endeavouring to obtain the,
revocation of the edict of 1492, issued by Fer-
dinand and Isabella, which banished from Spain
all persons of their persuasion. They have ad-
dressed to the Cortes a memorial to that effect,
in which they endeavour to prove that Jewish
colonies existed in Spain long before that country
was inhabited by Christians. They quote in sup-
port of their assertion Strabo, Philo, and the
Spanish historian Los Rios, who even declares that
the Jews rendered the greatest services to the
Christians when these latter reconquered Spain.
On the 28th ultimo the Court of Appeal at
Basle pronounced sentence on a refugee, named
Thury, who had given himself out for an emis-
sary of Kossuth ; the latter, however, had since
formally disclaimed any connexion with him, and
stated in a letter that he had only given him some
pecuniary aid. The Lower Court had condemned
him to two months' imprisonment and a fine of
300 f. ; but the Court of Appeal increased his
punishment to six months' imprisonment, 500 f.
fine, and the expenses, with 100 days imprison-
ment more if the fine were not paid within three
months.
The Prussian, Gazette, of the 9th, says
" Count Esterhazy, wad ho is staying here on a mis-
sion extraordinary, h an audience last Friday of
the King in the Bellevue Palace, when he pre-
sented to his Majesty an autograph letter from the
Emperor of Austria. The conjecture that this
letter announced the recall of Count Esterhazy
from the court of Berlin is not correct.
The Emperor of Austria has pardoned two poli-
tical prisoners named Giovanni Rodoni and
Giovanni Noziezka, and remitted one-half of the
punishment of a third, named Antoniosas_: Fodor.„lt

A letter from Messina, 4th, says
several days that no case of cholera has occurred
here, and it is said that clean bills of health will
be issued in the course of the present week. At
Catania, the disease still exists, and also in several
other parts of the island."
Advices from Tilsit mention that in consequence
of the reductions in the Prussian tariff, the smug-
gling trade along the frontier bad greatly dimi-
nished ; the smugglers had found their account
rather in availing themselves of the high rates now
