EGYPT AND TURKEY

The following remarks on the late de-
feats OF the Turkish army by that of the
Pacha of Egypt, are fromihe London Cour-
Ter:
These successive defeats by. sea and land
which the Sultan has recently experienced
from the ruler of Egypt, have been as rapid
as they were unexpected. AS an eXplana.
ton OF the military and naval superiority of
Egypt over Turkey, it may he observed,
that Mohammcd Ali, the Pacba of Egypt,
has been beforehand with the Reforming
Chief of the Ottoman Empire in the intro
duction of European improvements, in the
equipment, dress, and tactics of his army
aud navy. and in the education of his Off
GERS. For some years past, the Pacha of
Egypt has not had less, we believe, than 60
or 80 OF his subjects Of all ages, in France
and 40 or so in England, sent and maintain,
ed in these countries ut his own expense,
for the purpose Of receiving an European
education. These pupils are destined for
various professions; they are educated for
ship building, hose building, military and
civil engineering; MS surgeons, artists,
watchmakers, mllwrights, machnists; in
short, for al the professions in the arts and
sciences known in Europe. We mention
this to shew the system, the Industrious &c.
tlvlty, and the foresight of the Pucha of
Egypt.
The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire has
done much also in this way; but neither so
quickly, nor to so great an extent as the
Pacha Of Egypt. Thus when the Janissa.
ries were destroyed, and the military
strength of Turkey was thereby 'paralyzed

REvoLT.IN THE MAuRITIUs

The Cape of Good Hope papers contain in.
telgence from the Mauritins isle of France)
of considerable interest, from which it appears
that the inhabitants had taken bold, decisive
measures in resistance to the order in Council
relative to slaves. In June last, Mr.. Jeremie,
the writer on colonial slavery, arrived at the
Island, bearing with him the appointment of
Procurator and Advocate General and the Or.
der in Council of November for the regulation
of slave labor. The greatest exciiaton was
produced, and an all but open revolt took place
in the colony.
Mr.. Je:emic arrived in his Maiesty's ship
Ganges, on the Sd of June, but such concourse
ofpeople had collected, that il was deemed ad
vlsable his landing should be postponed until
the following day, in the hope that the multi
tudes would have been diminished. This how
ever, was not the case, a still larger number
having assembled, and further postponement
took place. Mr.. Jeremie subsequently effected
a landing secretly.
On the 22d of June an attempt was made &c
install Mr. Jeremie, and by the back gate of the
Government House he succeeded in reaching
unobserved, the Court House, where, however
his arrival was no sooner known, than it was
filled 10 suffocation, by most violent mob, Sc
that the constabfes found it impossible to obtain
a passage for Mr. Jereme to the Judges room

this could be effected. Finding 1t impossible
to be- installed. Mr.. Jeremie, on his return tc
the Hall, was most violently assaulted, peled
spit upon, and great efforts made TO seize him
so that a large force of military was sent for
and he reached the Government House after
great peril.
The excitement continued up to the 18th o
July, when it was put stop to by the intma
ton that the Order in Council would not BIZ

Tar as army has encountered army the Pa

Ell that the same facility of success would

parts OF the Turkish domlnions The i'll
hahltants OF Turkey are accustomed to hear
OF rebelhous Pachas, and it is no novelty
Tor them to learn the success Of their pro-
tracted resistance on frequent occasions.
They are not unused also to the circum-
stance OF contumacious Pacha maintain
ing himself by force IN his distant Govern
mcnt, and detying the authority of his mas
ter. And in this light they may regard the
present acts OF warfare on the part of the
Pacha Of Egypt. But those who are nc
qualnted with the character and the nation.
atty OF the inhabitants of Turkey, NAV be
inclined to agree with us in thinking that
the Turks would not view with the same in
difference the neal approach of Pacha to
the capital OF Constantlnople, threatening
the suhveison of the throne of the Sultan.

Oltomans are bound by the double tie of ha-
blt'lal obedience, and superstitious reyer-

Inc very rapidity of the victories, there
lore, OF lbrahlm, the son of the Pacha of
Egypt, may lead him too far, and place him
IN position of political embarrassment.
Mohammed Ali is too sagacious not to be
aware that It IS not his policy, even if he
mad the power, to subdue Turkey. He
knows well that he can exercise SOVEREIGN
sway IN Egypt, which he has regenerateJ.

exclusion OF the present dynasty sacred in
the eyes OF the Turks, to reign over the Or
toman dominions.
Neither Is 1t his policy too much to rriprle
The strength OF Turkey. The ruin of that
empire would he but the prelude to the sinh
lugatlon OF his own. 1t is the interest of
Mohammed Ali to be the ally of the Sultan:
nomlnally his vasSal really his equal. Con-
protesting the same Falkland
speaking, Tor the most part, the same Ian
guage-they would present powerful front
10 foreign aggression on either country.
SeParate--dlvi!ed by jealousy-and weak
ened ny continued contests, they would but
mutually prepare ench other for foreirn
conquest. Mohammed Ali, therefore. has
no desire to weaken Turkey, but only to
MAINTAIN his own independence and there
Is no doubt that he would willingly listen to
any overtureS of accommodation on the mart
OF the Sultan, and readily acquesce in the
INTERPRETATION of any friendly State. At
present he feels that he has gone far enough,
and he would gladly stop in his victorious
career. if there could be held out to him the
prospect OF securing permanent peace to
the Egyptian dominions.

few observations on the character and con-
duct of the King here. His Majesty GER
tainly stands at present in position well
calculated to crafty his self-conpacency,
and to excite the envy of some of his CO.

himself the subject of eulogium with even
those foreign writer's who have been most
averse TO the course of policy which he has
been pursuing, while at home he ENJOYS the
highest and the unanimous esteem of his
subjects. 1t is not correct, however, to at
tribute 10 obstlnacy on his part the constan-
cy with which he has adhered TO his own
propositions for the settlement of his late
provinces Of Brahant. In fact, the interest,
the existence, Of Holland is at stake-that
commercial interest by which alone she is

THE KING OF HOLLAND.

The following letter from the Hague,
gives an interesting account Of the personal
character and habits of the King Of Hol-
land. If the representations of this letter
be correct, we have the true secret of TIE
popularity of the King, and the readiness
OF his people TO sustain him in the existing
difficulties, and the anticipated struggle
with Belgium. The Dutch King has Ger
tainly been hardly dealt with by the Holy
Alliance. They ought, in Justice, to have
left him to settle with the Belgians as he
best could on his own account.
From the London Morning Herald.
THE HAGUE, Oct. H. For this week
politics are as stagnant here as a Dutch
ditch. The excitement of the late military
alarm has subsidized, and the sound of the

The description that has been given in

Hawk is nearly 6 feet high, 6S years old,
has piercing countenance, looks pleasant
but lmperlous. The Prophet looks more
savage and warlike, and is more full faced.
Black Hawk has two sons, as well built
men as you ever saw, tall and handsome

them look like great warriors, and tell
many stories of their exploits. One says

THE CITIZEN KING AND HIS
PEERS.
What a change a few months has pro-
duced in France! When the citizen King
was placed on the throne, his prncipa,
strength lay in the Chamber of Deputies
The Peers were considered hostile TO the
new dynasty, and the Commons its only
supporters. At that time it was expected
that the powerful lower house would ami
hllate the upper one altogether. They did
tins 10 certain extent. They abolished
almost al. the peerages created 10y Charles
y, TO the number we think OF thirty-seven.
Now, however, the tables are fairly turn
ed. The Peers are, at present, at a premi-
um, and the Commons at discount. The
latter are hostile 20 Louis Phillip, who was
their idol only last year. Public opinion
is now much stronger against him, than it
was formerly in his favor. The whole
press, with but one or two exceptions, is
laundering against the new King and his
ministers without intermisson. He is ac-
cused of coup d'etatS, and they are represent
ed to be imbeciles. He is esteemed no bet
ter than Charles X, and they are as obnox-
leus as Polignac and his colleagues.
In this dilemma his Majesty has paid his
court to the Upper Chamber, which he has
refreshed with the creation of sixty-two new
peers. Old Bonapartists, few republicans
and good sprnkling of converted Carllsls,
are now graced with coronets. The idea
o. an urat-republican being ennobed, and
a sans culotIe strutting in court-dress as a
peer OF France is comical enough. But
they do odd things in that country.
How these changes will operate when
the two Chambers meet it is hard to say
Louis PHILLIP has difficult and perilous
game to play. The worst of it is, he does
not seem to please any party. All the pop
ular men are opposed to him. Soult is dis
iiked; Broglle is poor book -wolm, with

lawyer; but he is universally hated by the
people. and despsed by the arislocracy.
With such II squad of ministers the citi-
zen King will have an uphill battle to
fight against public opinion. A majority in
the Peers is secured, but how he is to gain
majority in the Chamber of Deputies we
cannot conjecture.
