same ship brought several English and French

DEATH OF THE KING OF SAXONY.
A telegraphic despatch received in Paris yester-
day from Munich conveys the melancholy intelli-
gence that the carriage of the King of Saxony was
overturned at Brenbuchel, situated between Munich
and Dresden, and that his Majesty was killed by a
kick from One of the horses.

His Majesty Frederick Augustus IV. was born
on the 18th of May, 1797. A serious insur-
rection having brnken out at Dresden, in Septem-
ber, 1830, against the authority of his uncle An
thou; the reigning Monarch, Prince Frederic
Augustus was named co-regent on the 13th of that
month, and succeeded to the .throne on the 6th of
June, 1836, his father, Duke MAximilian, having
waived his right thereto. His Majesty having left
no issue, the crown descends to his brother, John
Nepomuc Marie Joseph, born on the 12th of Decent
ber, 1801.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
A letter from Trebizund, published in the Mont.
teur, says :
"All the Bashi-Bazouks have been placed under the
command of Ismail Pasha (General Kmetty), who is charged
with the organisation and improvement of these irregular
troops.

" /his measure has certainly been one of the best inspi-
rations of the General-in-Chief, Although entirely sepa-
rated from the rest of the army, Ismail Pasha has so power-
fully contributed to the moral elevation of the soldier by
constantly obtaining the advantage in the numerous en-
gagements which he has undertaken with his irregular
troops against the Russian Cossacks ;' and, although these
small engagements with outposts, are apparently insignifi-
cant, they nevertheless produce an excellent effect upon the
spirit of the army. Besides this, Ismail Pasha has Com-
pletely succeeded in r. pressing the turbulence and pillage
to which the Bashi-Bazouks were too much addicted.
'"The ascendancy which Ismail Pasha has been able to
acquire over his troops forms a very remarkable fact.
This general has made himself at once feared and re-
spected. These irregular troops have now the most un-
limited confidence. in the capacity of their chief. They
blindly obey him, are guided by him, and are always
read to expose themselves to the greatest dangers
with the most admirable courage and intrepidity.
Recently, a strong division of Cosss eke, supported by
cavalry and two pieces of cannon, after having passed
Arpa-Tchai, came to forage on the Turkish territory
near the left bank of the Kars-Tchai. Ismail Pasha WAS
at the time upon the right bank of that river with 200 of
his irregulars. It was impossible for him to attack the
Cossacks with this handful of meu ; but, upon an intima-
tion which he contrived. to send immediately to Hadji
Deuivah, who was encamped about a league and a half
from the Kars-Tchai, that chief instantly came up with
1,50 D Bashi-Bazouks.

" Ismail Pasha then crossed the Kars-Tchai and att icked
the enemy with such impetuosity that ho instantly took to
flight in spite of the great inferiority of numbers. The
3ashi-Bazouks pursued the Russians, lance in hand, and the
latter were obliged to use their guns toprotect their retreat.'

THE CZAR DISHEARTENED.
A correspondent of the Vienna Wanderer, writ-
ing from Bucharest, the 27th July, says :
" On the 24th General Adlerberg brought the
order 'to evacuate Wallachia by the sth of
August;' nothing, however, was said of Mol-
davia. The Czar was so disheartened by the in-
telligence from the prince that he left St. Peters
burg, it is said, for three days, and admitted no
one to his presence. It is reported that on re-
ceiving the intelligence, he sorrowfully exclaimed
I can understand the defeat at Silistria, but
to be forced, with so great a loss, by a horde of
wild, half-naked Turks, from positions which have
been occupied and fortified for a year—that these
Turks should first sustain an engagement, then
storm the islands fortified by us, an I, lastly, have
paid in blood for every inch of ground gained on
the left bank of the Danube—all this I cannot
understand.' Four or five days later, the Emperor
sent by General Adlerberg the order for the evacua-
tion of Wallachia."

The Moniteur Algerien, of the sth, publishes an
order of the day from General Randon, announcing
that the Emperor
i had decided on making up from
his privypurse the pension of every soldier who
had lost a limb in the expedition of Djurjura to
the extent of 400 f. a year.

ARREST OF Pill RTES IN THE MEDI-
TERRANEA.N.
A letter from Samos, of the 25th ult., in the lenpar-
tiai of Smyrna,
In consequence of the
energetic
adopted by the local authorities
myerasmut, ressays" :
and by the French and English vessels of war, eight
pirates have been arrested in the island, and
amongst them the three brothers Condouri,
whose bad renown in these latitudes dates
from some years back. After that capture,
a certain Yauni Macri came forward of his
own accord to surrender to the local authorities,
confessing that he had been the head of the band
who had assassinated the crew of the English
schooner the Harriett. This individual was put
on board the English frigate the Leander, and
taken to Syra to be there confronted with other
pirates who had been arrested there. On the 15th,
the Chaptal, French screw-steamer, coming from
Syra, brought back the said Macri, proved to have.
committed 19 murders, and who still imagines that
he will obtain his pardon in consequence of his
confession and forced submission. The Chaptal
again put out
to sea on the 21st to seek for the
famous Moro, 'who, with a band of 28 pirates, was
infesting the waters between Amorgos and Stanchio,
whilst another pirate named Nicociara went to join
him in another vessel with 22 men. Other letters
from Samos of the same date announce that the
Chaptal returned on the evening of th'e 24th, after
having captured 27 persons, who were forwarded
to Constantinople by an
Ottoman steamer."

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
MONASTIR, July 26.—The change made by the
Light Division from Devno to this place has been
attended by some benefit, but the cholera still con-
tinues to prevail. They started on Tuesday, and,
after a hot march, arrived in the neighbourhood
of this village. Several of the men were taken ill
on the way. The disease seems to have lost some
of its original virulence, and to be less fatal in its
attacks than when it first broke out. This, I be-
lieve, is a general rule. We are expecting an ar-
rival of scientific or at least good bakers, every
day, to
improveour bread, and the " Army and
Navy" will take up 30 of them from Constanti-
nople. This is not before they were wanted, and
badly
wanted, too. The remoter causes of the
epidemic which rages at Varna and in the
camps may be beyond our ken, but assuredly
there
is no difficulty in discovering. the im-
mediate
physical predisposing conditions of its
existence, if medical authority is of any value. In
the first
place, the men were left too long in the
same encampments. It is the practice of the French
as a general rule to change their ground once
every ten days, even in healthier climates. They
seem to have paid the penalty on this occasion of
their breach of a rule recommended by experiewe
and founded on common sense. Our men, in spite
of all orders to the contrary, persisted in throwing
offal, beads and entrails of fowls, bones, and skins
into the bush and brushwood around the camps.
In the broiling sun all these various animal mat-
