of the 30th ult. The whole mass of news from the Medi-
terranean does not, politically speaking, amount to much
On the 22d ult, according to one report, and the 21st
according to another, the Divan at Constantinople drew
up a new Erman, in conformity with the wishes of the
Great Powers, conferring upon MEHEmEr ALI the here-
ditary government of Egypt. This firman is reported
to consist substantially of five articles to the following
effect:—
Article 1. The hereditary possession of Egypt is Vs'
ranteed to MEnEmET Au and to his descendants, as
Governors under the SULTAN, in a direct line.
2. M.EuEmET ALI is to have the authority of nowi'
nating to all offices, civil, military, and naval in Egy
up to the rank of a Colonel in the military service, and
its corresponding grades in the other services. Hlb
ranks, and the title of Pacha, is only to be conferred by
the VICEROY, with the consent of the SULTAN.
3. The annual tribute to be paid by the VicErtolt
is
80,000 purses, or 40,000,000 piastres, a sum equal
400,000/. sterling.
5. The laws and regulations of the Ottoman etro;eo
are to be observed in Egypt, with such changes itsle
peculiar habits and dispositions of the Egyptian Pe4
llow(
may render necessary, which changes can only be a ,
after they have been submitted to the consideration ana
received the sanction of the Sublime Porte.
The amount of tribute is enormous when the impo-
verished condition of Egypt is considered, and still more
when it is borne in mind that no part of it is to go to de,-
fray the expenses of the local Government. Our 114:
vices from Alexandria would lead us to conclude that
MEIIEI'IET ALI would refuse to pay such a sum. 1.4 e
The news from the Greek capital is of considers
interest. It appears that King OTHO, whom all the
world took for a fool, is about to turn out a
great warrior, charged with the holy mission of restoring
Greece to that height of glory from which her own ui-e
ternal divisions contributed more to hurl her, than tihd-
vigorous, all-corrupting policy of Macedon, or the War
subduing genius of Consular Rome. On Sunda
the 23d ult., his Hellenic MAJESTY, his QUEEN, and to
his Court, attended a performance at the theatre, the
l.
proceeds of which was to be remitted to purchase aro
and ammunition for the insurgent Candiotes. Abottt
~
10,000 drachmas (3001. sterling) were collected, 1'
which King OTHO, who is a model of generosity, obi:
scribed 1,200, his QUEEN 800, and the Prince R"Yft
out of his travelling pocket-money, 100. M. LAonl;o'
the French Minister, was the only member of the corps
diplomatique present on the occasion. As to, the liING"
he is said to be mad for a war with the Turks, and
tertains a conviction that for him is destined the glory
f
of hoisting the Greek flag upon the highest turrets

Bret, sailed hence on the 3d, to make a cruise in the 17;,
and is daily expected to return. The Austrian sloop
arrived on the 11th from Smyrna; none of the ships W
t a
have come in were met by pirates, but it is asserted that
Greek schooner was plundered by one of them in the bale
Cassandra only a few hours' sail from Salonica. The tit;
tale is said to have been robbed of 3,000 drachmas and
provisions."
