a year, or a generation ; but I hope the condition of the
people of Egypt is yet destined to be elevated by the
labours of those who succeed me. I have urged on my
sons and my grandsons to follow up the work ; and if
in afteriages, when my ashes shall be undistinguishable,
the Arab races of Egypt can hold up their heads in
the world of civilization, my name may perhaps not be
forgotten in the traditions and history of the times I have
lived in."

It seems the VICEROY only learned to read at the
age of 45, after his elevation to the Pashalic ; never-
theless, history was his favourite study, especially the
history of NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER. He thought
much of fame, and was anxious to leave an enduring
reputation behind him. Let us trust that in the good
he has effected in Egypt he has left a memorial of
himself less perishable than the remembrance of his
warlike achievements, and, moreover, let us hope that
his successor will carry out the principles laid down
in the paragraph above quoted. He may be assured
that the amelioration of the people is not only his
greatest glory of King and Governor, but also their
most enduring monument.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The official Moniteur publishes the dispatch from
Berlin, announcing the surrender of GEORGEY and
the defeat of BEM. The general opinion in Paris is
that GEORGEY has been purchased by Russian gold
to turn traitor.

Letters from Perigueux state that M. LEON
FAUCHER, who was about to return to Paris, has
been detained in that town by serious indisposition.
The prosecution commenced some months since
against the association called "La Solidarite Re-
publicaine" has been renewed with increased activity.
The seventy members who formed the consulting
commission of the society are to be brought to trial.
The Courts of France have placed a construction
on the law relating to the press, which will hence-
forth' render the publication of reports of Parlia-
mentary proceedings physically impossible. M.
SEGUE D'AGUESSEAU, one of the acknowledged
" Bores" of the National Assembly, summoned the
editor of the National, for publishing a short report of
his speech in the debate on the organic law relat-
ing to the press, and demanded the publication of a
verbatim report thereof, and the Court decided in his
favour. There can be no doubt but that, acting on
this precedent, M. GEEPPO, and the other Communist
leaders, will demand the insertion of verbatim reports
of their speeches in the Constitutionnel, the Univers,
aad the other re-actionary journals.
The Patrie says

4i We are assured that the President of the Republic,
notwithstanding the state of his health, and the fatigue
caused by his preceding journeys, would not have post-
poned the inaugurations of the Strasbourg and Lyons
Railroads, which were to have taken place on the 19th
and 26th of this month, but that, at the earnest request
of his Ministers, these two excursions have been post-
poned to Sunday, the 2d of September, for Epernay, and
Sunday, the 9th, for Lyons, in order to give time for the
perfect re:establishment of the President's health."

The Moniteur contains an address from M. ()DILLON
BARROT, as Minister of Justice, recommending the
revision of the penal code. A committee of the most
eminent jurisconsults is declared to be chosen for the
purpose of considering the question.

GERMAN Y

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The general impression at Vienna is, that gold has
had more to do than steel with the surrender of
GEORGEY, and the fact that he insisted on surrendering
to the Russians alone seems to corroborate this supposi-
tion. Gen. GEORGEY surrendered not to the ally of the
Emperor dAUSTRIA, but to the proprietor of the gold
mines of the Ural mountains. KOSSUTH and BEM
have fled to Belgrade. ARAD has surrendered to the
Austrians, in obedience to the commands of GEORGEY,
who has also ordered the garrisons of Peter wardein
and Comorn to lay down their arms. It is, however,
very doubtful whether KLAPKA. will be inclined to
follow GEORGEY'S example.
The Austrians have possession of Raab, but it does
not appear that a regular direct communication has
been yet re-established with Pesth. The Magyars
still maintain their ground in the Schutt, and their
outposts sre in Bos. General Czoßicu was in Pres-
burg on the 16th, and the battalions sent suddenly
into the Schutt defiled before him. These troops,
however, were presently countermanded, and sent
to Raab. _

An official report of the Bth, from Colonel Dorsner,
who is at Hermannstadt, gives us the particulars of
what has taken place in the south-west of Transyl-
vania since the 4th, on which date General Luders was
at Galfalva. After Bern's defeat at Schassburg on the
31st, it was stated that he had retired to Udvarhely.
This was not the case, for during the night of the
2d he proceeded towards Mediash (Medgyes),
which he reached on the 3d, with a force
of from 7,000 to 8,000 men, and 17 cannons. Hav-
ing been joined at this place by an auxiliary corps
from Clausenburg, consisting of 4,000 foot, 800
horse, and 12 cannons, he proceeded towards Her-
mannstadt. General Hassfort, who had been left
with six battalions, eight cannons, and 350 Cossacks
to protect Hermannstadt, had gone to Reissmarkt
and 21uhlenbach, where he gained the victory
mentioned yesterday over the insurgent General
Stein. All this having been made known to
General Luders by his scouts, he foresaw
that Bern would fall upon Hassfort, probably drive
him into Wallachia, and then take possession of
Hermannstadt. Nothing remained to be done but
to pursue Bern with all speed. Before, however,
Luders could overtake him, he learned that Hassfort
had actually been attacked, driven from his posi-
tion, and after a murderous battle in the streets
of Hermannstadt, in which he had many killed
and wounded, had been obliged to retreat to kTal-
mash. On the 6th, at ten A.M., General Luders' army
stood before Hermannstadt. Six battalions of the
enemy, 500 horse, and 18 cannons, occupied the
neigbouring heights, a considerable reserve had
been left in the city, and the remainder of the
army had gone in pursuit of Hassfort. A battle
ensued, which ended in the complete rout of
the Magyars. The Russian cavalry put such
of the fugitives as attempted to resist to the
sword. The enemy, who lost 1,200 prisoners and 14
cannons in this battle, had 600 killed and , 500
wounded. The troops which had followed Hassfort
made the best of their way after their routed com-
rades. The Russians, including the loss suffered
by General Hassfort on the sth, had 364 killed
and wounded. The battles of Schassburg and Her-
mannstadt produced a most dispiriting effect upon
the insurgents. Many threw away their arms, and
sought refuge in the woods, while others came over
to the victors. It is evident that immediately after
this'defeat Bern must have hurried
into the Banat, as
it is certain that he bad the chief command at Te-
mesvar.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
HAmnußou AUG. 21.—Much apprehension has
been entertained here that Prussia would signally re-
quite Hamburgh for the uncalled-for insult offered
by some of our citizens to the Prussian troops. A
proclamation has, however, been issued by our Senate
this morning, which is calculated to allay all unne-
cessary apprehension on that ground. The Prussian
Government is resolved to keep the city occupied by
its troops only till such time as every thing shall be
perfectly regulated for the free and unmolested pas-
sage of the numerous troops who must necessarily
pass and repass through the city on their way to and
from the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The
Senate animadverts severely and justly on the ano-
maly of a free and independent city like Hamburgh
becoming the centre of a lawless faction. It as-
serts that the Senate had in no wise oc-
casioned either mediately or immediately the
entrance of the Prussian troops on their occupa-
tion of the city, but that the charge of quartering
them must now necessarily devolve upon the inno-
cent burgher as well as upon those whose culpable
excesses gave rise to that measure on the part of the
Prussian Cabinet. According to letters from Kiel,
and other parts, there is much general indignation
against the Hamburghers for their conduct to the
Prussian soldiery, who are in no wise responsible for the
policy of their Government,and whose behaviour where-
ever they have been quartered has been highly com-
mended.

COPENHAGEN, AUG. 18.—All the insurgent pri-
soners of war were, yesterday morning, conveyed to
Als.en, for the purpose of being exchanged.
The official report has just been published of the
