Ca,:anomlies in times past. If the rule of the present
Paella is hard and opprei,sive, on the other hand it
cannot he denied that he had established a perfect
trarquillity and safety throughout the Regency. The
roads are now cleared of the robbers and highwaymen.
Commuoications by land with Marzuck, Gadanes,
and Bengazy-,
are regular, and every week a courier
departs' on dromedaries. The spirit of independence
and rebellion is suppressed, and the troublesome
Arabs are forced to keep peace. The skill of the
Pacha in all the branches of the adthinistration is
very remarkable ; be is a particular ruler, and keeps
the finances ii, admirable order, The fear of his
sagacity is so great, that none of the employes attempt
to defraud public money. In fine, the Paella has
established a firm Government; that is unpleasant fur
swindlers and for riotous people accustomed to per-
petual rebellion.

country is very difficult, and impossible' to be done
without force. Single individuals may' suffer, but
the whole. benefit from it. The Smyrna papers
praise the Pacha, and we praise him toe., if imposi-
tions, taxes, and duties would be more moderate, and
taken in proportion to the annual production, and not
according to the currency in circulation.
The French Chancellor Ledeaux left on' the 20th

The news from the interior is important. The re-
niAiiiing son of Abd-el-Gelil, whofled to Toba, a town
in the interior, hall•warfrom Marauk l3ernan, had
a struggle with the people of the large (:ountry called
VS adey, on the occasion of the spoliation of a kalifa or
Caravan ; in consequence a battle was fought, and the.

circulation that his relation, the last of the great Sac-
fanasser, had been likewise killed in thio.battle; how-
ever, the Arabs are incredulous as to the; particulars of
Saffanasser's death, looking upon this' as an inven-
tion of the Government. c'Surely the death of both

The French have taken possession of-Tuggurt, and
have sent a message_to the large country called Sauf,
at present an independent place, to submit or to suffer
the fate of those who rebel against French rule.
The people of Saw, who have 10,000 men fit for
War, are little disposed to submit, and ha,:e written
to the Pacha of Tripoli, claiming his protection, and
offering to take the Sultan for Sovereign. The
Pacha answered that he is willing to send the
Turkish Government and Administration to Sauf, de-
claring this country to he a dependency upon Tripoli.
