EGYPT.

Lord Castlereagh was at Akaba on the sth June, on his way
to Jerusalem, being obliged to change his route in consequence
of the murder of the Sheik Suleyman, Lnd the bloodshed con-
sequently caused among his tribe and that of the Misainaßedouins.

REGENCY OF TRIPOLI.
(From the Malta Times.)
Constant intercourse, by means of steam, is kept up between
this island and the States of Barbary, her Majesty's steam-
frigate Devastation having gone thither twice anti returned here
again in the short space of six days.
The information we have been able to acquire is by no
means of a nature to allay anxiety. The Pacha Ashkar Ali,
whose deeds of horror and savage brutality have rendered him
the Nero of the present day, seems resolved, preparatory to his
departure, to play his bloody tragedy to the end.
We are indebted to our Contemporary the Portafoglio
Maltese for the following short extract :
" The 17th ult. Mustapha, son of Osman Aga, of Misurata ;
and a son and grandson of Itnraid, Sheik of Tarluna, were de-
capitated. On the 19th, as soon as the Vernon frigate and
Snake brig ho•:e in sight, Ashkar Ali commanded the heads of
Imraid, his cousin, and another Sheik of Tarluna, to be taken
off. Thus ate the betrayers of Abdel Geleel punished. No
doubt exists as to the fate of the sons of Abdel-Geleel and
Seif-el-Nasar —their throats were cut whilst on their road to
Tripoli."

Our own information states that death is the certain reward
of any one daring even to hint at, much less to declare as posi-
tive, the recal of the tyrannical Regent. His successor has
already quitted the Ottoman capital. and may consequently be
daily expected to arrive, but it is a matter of serious doubt,
whether he will be enabled to take quiet possession of the
regency, or oust Ashkar Ali therefrom, unless supported by
the strong arm of power, he (Ashkar) being solidly seated, and
backed by a party of scoundrels as bloodthirsty and as merciless
as himself.

The British Consul, Colonel Warrington, had deemed it ne-
cessary to have a guard of marines from the Locust stationed
nightly at his hotel, in order to secure it against any attack
which the myrmidons of Ashkar Ali, by command, or from a
natural desire of creating a disturbance, might attempt.
TANGIERS.—.W4I hear that a French fleet is now lying 'off
th;s town, some squabble having arisen about payment of a
stipulated sum.

ALGIERS.—Abd..eI-Kader is preparing a hornet's revenge
for the disturbers of his territory.

MOVEMENTS SINCE THE STH JULY.—The Devastation,
which arrived from Tripoli on the sth, returned thither with
dispatches on the 11th, and got back to Malta on the 13th ; the
expected new Pacha had not yet arrived. The Calcutta
sailed for England, calling at Lisbon on the 7th, a:.d on
the Bth the Savage arrived from Tunis, bringing nothing
new. The Tagus steamer came in from England and
Gibraltar on the 13th; and the Alecto having arrived from
Marseilles (with the overland mails dispatched from Lon-
don on the 6th) on the 14th, the Tagus went on to Alex-
andria same day. The Monarch arrived from Athens on the
14th, and on the same day the Vesuvius was dispatched to
Beyrout, conveying Mr. Young, the Consul at Jerusalem.
The Prometheus arrived on the 15th from Cerfu and Patras,
whither the Alecto was dispatched on the 15th with the mails
by the Tagus. This morning Viee-Admiral Sir Edward
W. C. R. Owen, in the Queen, accompanied by Rear-Admiral
Sir F. Mason in the Howe, and the Impregnable, Rodney, and
Indus ships of the line, attended upon by the Devastation war
steamer, left Malta harbour, but their destination is (as usual
with our present Commander-in-Chief) a profound mystery.
By some it is pretended that they are going to Palermo and
other ports of Sicily, where the usual festivities are about
commencing in honour of the patron saint of each respec-
tive port; but this would appear to be contradicted by the
fact of the ships having provided themselves with qua-
rantine grounds, so as to entitle them to a free pratique
on their return from any place subject to quarantine,
provided they do not communicate with the shore. In all
probability they are about to join the French fleet (now in the
Sicilian waters), in order to repair to and make a demonstra-
tion on the coast of Syria. The French fleet under Vice-
Admiral Ilugon (having under his orders the Prince de Join-
vale), composed of three three-deckers, five two-deckers, four
large frigates, and a war-steamer, have most unexpectedly, and
to the manifest discomfort of his macaronic Majesty, arrived
at Naples. His Majesty lost no time in announcing to the
Admiral that, according to existing treaties, the force must be
reduced, or rather spread, and suggested the sending one divi-
sion to Castelamare, and a second to Baja, whilst a third could
remain at Naples ; whereupon the Prince gave him to under-
stand that it purposed shortly weighing, and proceeding to do
honour to the festivities of Santa Rosolia at Palermo. The
King remarked that, being the capital of Sicily the treaty ex-
tended to it likewise, and he went the length of offering to ac-
company the Prince if he would embark in a .Neapolitan
strainer. The Prince gave for answer that he preferred re-
maining with his ship and the Admiral. A hint was also
thrown out that the appearance of so large a force at Palermo
would attract there the English fleet, which was not at all
desirable.

The Earl of Orford, Lord Miltown, Sir William
and Lady de Bathe and family, Sir John Kynaston, Lady
Slade, Colonel Blornefield, &c. &c., formed part of the
large number of passengers who proceeded to Antwerp
and the Rhine on Sunday last, by the Antwerpen, Capt.
Jackson, from the St. Katherine's. wharf, Tower. The
same Company's steam-ship Princess Victoria, Captain
Minter, arrived at the wharf yesterday morning, from
Antwerp—Colonel Dixon, the Hon. %Ir. Upton, Mr.
Canning, Sta were amongst her passengers.
SENTENCE OF OUTLAWRY.—WC have now received
an official certified copy of the sentence of outlawry pro-
nounced by the Lords of Justiciary against Mr. Knox
Trotter, of Ballendene—the great lay Gospel gun 01 the
rampant rebels. It is so abominable that we cannot pub-
lish it.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.
