JUSSUFF PACHA.

The circumstances attending the entrance of the Rus
sian army into Varna. and the honours rendered to
Jussuff Pacha, leave no doubt upon the nature of the
facts wbich hastened the capture a f that fortress.. The
public, will, no doubt, teed with interest a few details
respecting a person to whom history will attach a ques-
tionable celebrity.
Jussuff was born about 1787 at Series, and was the
eldest son of the famous Ismail Bey, Ay an of that city.
He bore from his infancy the name of Bey, received a
confined education, and gave signs earl in lite of
strength of imaginati..n rathe, than intelligence.
Toe power of his rather mended over ad Macedonia;
his kflaence over the a•t tier Aysn., and his services in
ware gave him great credit. He obtained from the
Porte fir Jussuff, at the age cf 23 years, the govern.,
ment of Salonica, with the title of AI usselins.
The port of Salonica was t'.e depot of immense com-
merce. It was one of those points at which• the .Eng-
lish spread their merchanJizes over Europe, in spite of
the d. cites of Bonaparte, and from whence the French
caravans crossed to Bosnia.

In this new world Jussuff knew the French, and ap-
preciated the arts. Protecting equally the merchants
of all nations, he (mind iri"the'effor mous amount of his
customs and duties that which satisfied all his desires.

In 1815 Ismail Bey died, 'equally tegrette4 by Chris-

next. The consideration of the case of Menet and Farthing is
postponed.

There never was an occasion noon which the feelings
of unfortunate convicts and their fiends were to cruelly
harassed as on that of the 49 shoe cases vie 11•• corder
of London went to Windsor, on Monday last, prepared:
to report. It happened. that there was r.e more than
the September Sessi .n reported, but although the
Cc.uncil was concluded at half-past sift o'clock, the G,trt•
vernor of Newgate did not receive the necessary ri.reu.t-
ment, or any into matron whatever, as to the result of
'the deiberations of the Council, until 20 minutes alter
five yesterday, when the Recorder's Cierk arrived at
Newgate with the warrant.
The hopes of the poor wretches were of course ele-
vated by the time occupied in the transaction at Wind.
sor, so that when the Veport arrived those fur whom the
public sympathy was peculiarly alive were ready to
drop down with emotion.
Ti e Reverend Mr. C riven immediately went to the
cells of the condemned, and informed those who have
been ordered for execution that they must prepare them •
selves for death. Fenn. who all along expected a corn.
mutation of punishment, was greatly affected—he
trembled from head to foot, and became almost frantic
with grief. Harpure and Higgins seemed to be sensible
of their situation, but were cheerful in comparison with
Fenn, who gave himself up wholly to despair. Mr.
Wootner ordiled.that a turnkey should remain in the
cell of each of those who were ordered for ezecotion
until the morning on which they are to oie.
Hunton appeared to be greatly relieved at hearing
that his case was not yet reported. He had been dread-
fully dejected for the list few days, and on Sunday,.
during the whole day,his eyes were streaming with tears.

A report bas got into circulation within these few
days back, that Captain the Hon. Frederick Spencer is
to be appointed to the Southampton, shortly to be
commissioned as the flag ship to Sir Edward Oxen;
but we are informed such is not the fact, and that
Captain Gorge F. Rich will be Flag Captain to the
Admiral—Morning Herald.
