MEHEMET ALI and THE SULTAN' ,; :,
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27.—A notion seems to 111 <got abroad that Mehemet Ali was not well received.,.,, ..
here : that he was designedly humbled, and subjectea4 ~ ' •
many slights and indignities by the Sultan and °nth
ministers. There is not a word of truth in all this : °aid -",... .
a fact or two will at once prove the contrary. It is said'
ri• s•
that he was treated like a common Pacha. He Inib ".
have been so treated without any violation of etiquette,,' ,
But when did the Sultan ever advance into the 30theif%'
chamber of his hall of audience to take acommon Pacha will °,
s
the hand and lead him to a seat placed on the same lelp-r 4 i
with his own? When was a kiosque of the Sultan el'-'5l; 'il
placed at the disposal of a common Pacha? When vv3,:„? ~ t
common Pacha ever invited to dine with the Sultan Valid : ;
None of these favours have ever been known to na' ...'.
been conferred on any mere subject of the Sultan, lop• -
ever illustrious ; nor were the two last ever extends ,„
before, even to a crowned head. They must be take_: ,4
therefore, as unmistakeable tokens of the high distiefe
tion with which the Sultan intended to receive the
..:: .
Viceroy of Egypt. Nothing can be more at varieneof,i, '
with the character of Abd-ul-Medjid than that he ebnlles
have taken advantage of the voluntary visit of Mehem r ~
Ali to pay off old scores by a peevish stinting of honees,, "
and hospitality, and to requite the wars of an illustrionf
_;-
rebel by such little revenges as a woman might use, (),. ;
frowns and turnings of the back. No—whatever the
Sultan's faults may be, he is emphatically a getstinel,9'pni•
His conduct towards Mehemet Ali has been 11301."„ ii:•,
throughout with dignity; he had it in his power to renr,...„ ,
the foe of his house, and that under the pretext of a eer,,,:,
monious necessity, by levelling him with the herd of i 1 .'
vassals. But he preferred to treat that foe generotl9l,,
and to show him all the distinction he could without °nil:,
promising his own relation as sovereign paratenu,
Much stress has been laid upon the fact of no saluten;

arose from the pretension of the Viceroy to be answeere- •
by as many guns as he gave—namely 21—as if be wedn
an independent sovereign ; whereas the Porte dopier,
to consider him as of higher rank than the Grand

guns. Therefore it was agreed that no guns
be fired on either side. Nor was this the only
in which Mehemet Ali compoited hinise
regal style. He insisted that he should not 1

It is said, that during his first interview with the SI
he shed tears, and excused himself humbly for the 1
proceedings to which he had been driven against
moud. Upon receiving the assurance which he imP,
of the Sultan's pardon, he is reported to have said,
much effusion of feeling, "I was the slave of
Majesty; you emancipated me ; but now lam b'
your slave again ;" a speech not entirely destit'
that sort of Oriental grace which the Turks
him of being deficient-in. The Sultan presented
with a diamond, worth 2,500 purses excusinv
smallness of the gift. Mehemet Ali reikied, that
it been a pebble, that he should henceforth ram
present above all his other jewels. People are
here to know the meaning of this strange visit. Tb',.
improbable and contradictory reports prevail. v
that the Viceroy's journey was prompted by the '
of changing the succession of his kingdom in fav'
Abbas Pacha, whom he left governor ad interim, i
excluding Ibrahim. I confess this idea appears
extremely unlikely, considering the great superiol
Ibrahim to Abbas in point of talent, while the old
roy shows no signs of that dotage which could dicta'
undesirable a change. Be this as it may, it is eel
that nothing lees than political ends of the greatet.
portance could have dictated so enormous an out's/

to have drawn on the bankers here, to the t

SUPPOSED MURDER.—On Thursday last,
keeper was passing through the forest of Tourn- 00,,,,_
. (Pas de Calais), his attention was attracted by a j:i td.
odour exhaling from a spot where the earth apPea': thlkar .
have been recently disturbed. He removed part 01.0 ,0 t,
earth with his stick, when a corpse, attired only l
shirt, met his view. He thought a crime had beet'
bo
committed, and gave notice to the officers ofjustices who
immediately betook themselves to the place, where
'"leeff
made a scrupulous 'elimination of the remains • a ~a,,
such as is used for binding fagots, was round ihe 131, *
which bore evident marks of strangulation, vil"re 96.
~.'.;
post mortem examination showed that that the ' CO,(, #
had been buried about a month. The suspicion,4ed;',,, ,
crime having been committed seemed more jtisn'ttbe..ply;
and it was thought that it might have taken place o,.ttifr )4,
period of the fair of Tourneham, held on the 21st of .1

The corpse, however, was that of a stranger, teal oe -'
known in the place. The officers of justice have 133,,,e3 .
active search to discover the authors of this 5aP-pettl,
crime, for such it must be since the body was strlPes do:
and has seemingly been interred to hide all trrotbee:4,‘,
the murder. Two itenerant venders of needles an oes,,
light articles were apprehended on suspicion, at fair 0,1. _
