Few men connected with the complicated departments •f
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Bu chell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, nd most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.

Dr. Charles Cuny, who bears the title of o:,man Bey,

in the service of Mehemet Ali, has arrived in l'aris from
Alexandria. The Temps states that he is said to be en-
trusted with a diplomatic mission.
The Unirers states that M. Bourre t. French Consul
at Beyrout, who was recalled by M. Thiers for having
supported the Syrians in their revult, has been re-appointed

The National gives the following account of the re-
ported affair between an English and a French ship in the
Red Sea, affirmed to be authentic, and to have been trans-
mitted from Chandernagore to a Member of the Chamber
of Deputies. (We shall be glad to hear the account of
the affair given by the Elphinstone):
" A commercial vessel, belonging to Bordeaux, armed
with six, guns, and laden with muskets, had entered into
communication with the Arabs on the cast coast of the
Red Sea, when the Elphinstone, one of the East India
Company's ships, cruising in the same latitude, and ac-
quainted, no doubt, with the nature of the cargo of the
French vessel, ordered her to leave the shore without de-
livering her freight. The brig refused to desist. The
English ship, which carried 26 guns, had recourse to
force. An engagement ensued. After exchanging shots
for several hours, the Englishman drew off, and made sail
for Calcutta, leaving the Bordelais master of the field."
A St. Petcrsburgh letter, quoted by the Constitution-
nel, states that the Russian cruisers in the Black Sca have
recently captured three English ships, laden wit'a warlike
stores for the Circassians, and which had been freighted
at Bir by the Biitish Consul of Ei zeraum.
A Constantinople letter, quoted by the Constitutionnrl,
says that Reschid Pacha has declared that, in case of Me-
hemet Ali being allowed to retain Egypt, the hatti-scheriff
of Gulhane should be made obligatory throughout his pa-
chalic. Mustapha Pacha, Governor of Candia, had been
officially invested with the pachalic of that island by the
Porte.

Anothei letter of the 18th ult., given by the Univers,
states that a Commissioner would certainly leave the
Turkish capital in a few days for Alexandria to receive
the fleet. " The question," it adds, " is generally consi-
dered here as finished ; the representatives, however, of the
convention of the 15th of July have not yet taken any
steps in favour of Mehemet Ali, as had been said to have
been agreed on at London will' France."
Extract of a Malta letter, 21:h ult., in the National :
" Accounts from Alexandria represent the Egyptian ques-
tion as far from beiag settled. Ibeahim, far from intend-
ing to return into Egypt, is believed to be preparing to
take advantage of the ab,ence of the allied squadrons,
and attempt to recover the positions he had lost. The
forces he has to oppose to the inefficient troops of Turkey
arc made to amount to 30,00 ) men. An idea of treating
directly with the allied Powers for the inheritance of
Egypt and Pachalic of Acre is attributed ta him."
A letter from Marmorice Bay, 18th ult., quoted by the
Commerce, states that when Commodore Napier sailed in
there, on his return from Alexandria, in the Powerful, the
crews of the other ships anchored in the bay saluted him
with three cheers. The Hecate steamer had salted with
engineer officers to repair the fortifications of Beyrout.
Advices from Frankfort, quoted by the Augsburgh
Gazette, say :—" Our last news from Berlin is very pacific
on the subject of the answer given by the French Cabinet
to the demand by Austria and Prussia for explanations as
to its continued armaments. M. Guizot was much pleased
at this demand being made in a confidential manner, since
a note from the Germanic Confederation would have
threatened the existence of the Ministry of October 29,
and increased the exasperation of France. The Powers
are told that the present Ministry found affairs, and prin-
cipally the armaments, in the same state in which they
now are; that it was impossible to suspend these arma-
ments abruptly, or to reduce the army as long as France
remainedisolated ; that, convinced of the policy of pre-
serving the peace of Europe, they would use all possible
efforts to attain this object, and that they hoped above all
things, that the Chamber would make difficulties in voting
the enormous sums required for maintaining an army cf
500,000 men."

The Augsburgh Gazette states that the Austrian Levant
squadron has been ordered to return to the ports of the
Adriatic for the winter.

On occasion of the fete-day of the Emperor Nicholas,
on the 18:h ult., there was a grand promotion in the Rus-
sian army, by which eighteen Major-Generals were raised
to the rank of Lieutenant-Generals, and twelve Colonels
to that of Major-Generals.
The Treaty, concluded in September and ratified on the
15th ult., between Hamburgh and Denmark, for the adhc.
sion of the former State to the Holstein and Lubeck Cus-
toms thion, has been published in the Hamburgh papers.
The Sentinelle of Toulon says that there is a rumour
prevalent in the port of Admiral Baudin being ultimately
intended to have the command of the Levant squadron.
The trial of Darmes, it is now said, will definitively
commence on the 15th instant.

CHAMBER OF PEERS—SITTING OF JANUARY 6.
The President took the chair at two o'clock.
The Marquis de Dreux Breze said—Gentlemen, in re-
ply to what was stated yesterday by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, I beg to say that I never intended to blame the
Duke of Orleans with respect to the change of the
succession in Spain; on the contrary, I intended to praise
it. I had not at hand the same sources of information
as the Minister for Foreign Affairs, but I can say that I
was not the first person to state what I have stated, and
which was contradicted yesterday for the first time.
Up to yesterday it bad generally been regarded by
the public as an authentic fact ; and, as grand officer
of the King's house, I knew, as did also my col-
leagues, that Charles X., who had for the house of Or-
leans an affection, of wh:ch I was the frequent witness,
said to its head, when speaking of the events which had
occurred in Spain, " My cousin, these events regard you
more directly than they do me." I will not say more. I
was only anxious shat the Chamber should have no doubt
of the sincerity of my intentions, and of the good faith
which lam desirous of exercising in every discussion. I
spoke also of the protest made in 1830 by my Noble and
Very Honourable Friend, the Viscount de Saint Priest.
I am able, if the Chamber will permit me, to communi-
cate this protest.
