EGYPT,

The Hecate steamer arrii-ed at Alexandria on the 27th ult.
from Beyrout and Gaza, with despatches from the admiral
to Commodore Napier, relative to releasing the Syrian troops
In the Pacha's service, who have left their country along with
the Egyptians. The commodore left for Cairo on the 24th ;
so Colonel Napier, who is charged with the despatches, after
an interview with the Pacha this morning, when his highness
refused to enter into w-41,--erlations on the subject with him,
started Immediately for the capital, accompanied by a go-
vernment cawass, in order to see the commander.
The Hecate brought orders for the Stromboli to return
immediately to Marmorice, and she has already left the har-
bour, in charge of a lieutenant, the commander having gone
with the commodore to Cairo. The Hecate is taking in
goals as fast as possible, and most probably will leave again
for the admiral this afternoon. She left Beyrout the 25th
(the admiral's despatches having been taken thither by the
Cyclops), and brings no very important Syrian news. Gen.
Jechmas was at Jerusalem with part of the Turkish army,
part being at Damascus, and part at Jaffa. On the 15th
instant there had been a slight skirmish at Medjee (about six
Miles from Gaza), between a detachment of 1500 irregular
Bedouins and a few Turks, under Colonel Rose, which
ended in the former being repelled with a loss of from 30
is 40 lam and four were killed and 12 wounded on the
side of The Turks, Colonel Rose himself having been severely
wounded in the attack. The Nile steamer was at Gaza
waiting for Ibrahim Pacha, who had not arrived, but the ad-
vanced guard, under Menikby Pacha, was there, and Ibrahim
was hourly expected. The Egyptian force amounted in all
to about 25,000 men. The Generoso (Boulac steamer), on
leaving Alexandria, went to Caiffa, and from thence Amyn
Bey passed overland to Jaffa, where he was enabled to com-
municate with Mahmoud Bey, to arrange matters with the
different chiefs for the safe transit of the army, which had
consequently experienced very little annoyance from the
waives.

On the 24th we beard here of Soliman Pacha's arrival at
Aeaba with 8,000 men, some pieces of cannon, and all the
women and children. Since then it is said be had reached
Sues, but at all events in a few days we may expect to hear of
his arrival at Cairo.
Walker Pacha left in the Turkish frigate on the 23d, and
saluted when outside the reefs, which was returned by the
Carysfort. The Tahiti Bahiri steamer also went to sea same
day, thus leaving us without a Turkish vessel of any sort in
harbour. Said el Gharbi, colonel of the Alexandria national
guard, died two days ago at Rosetta. His property, which
is enormous, falls to government, he being without any
issue.

The following letter from the Morning Herald of yester-
day, is said to be from an authentic source :

" IBRAHIM PACHA ROUTED

" General Jochmus attacked Ibrahim Pacha on his retreat
from Damascus, but met with no resistance, nor was the tire
weer returned. Ibrahim, supposing he had become a vietim
to the Sultan's general, took flight, after throwing his artil-
/tory and ammunition into the river Jordan."
