 years, contained SD many accounts Ofthe suc- cesses of Mehemet Ali Pacha of Egypt, l have thought that some notice Of this extra ordinary man would not be unacceptable to your readers.
 Mehemet Ali, whose age is estimated at 64, is short, thick, fat man; his face, notwith- standing the appendage of an imposing beard, bears the stamp of benev olence and good na- ture, though the incidents ofhis adventurous life would seem to prove, that he possesses neither one nor the other of these Nirtues.- He is perfectly plain in his manners and dress, and admits freely into his presence the Flu ropean COnsuls and merchants who reside at his Court. He is by no means austere to his dependauts, but extracts from them the most unqualified deference.
 When at Alexandria, he devotes the whole day to business. After the usual hour of au- dience, which is at 8 in the morning, he in- spects the naval arsenal and the ships under equipment. examining every department in person, encouraging and rewarding the dli- gent, and punishing the idle. He dimes at noon, and sometimes induges in short nap after dinner, and then resumes the business of the day. At o'clock in the evening, the male members of the household are assem- bled to perform their evening devotions in the great Hall of the Palace, te witness which, strangers are without hesitation admitted.- When the prayers are ended, the Pacha re- ceives in his splendid saloon those foreign or fcers and COnsuls who may feel disposed to converse freely with him, unrestrained by the forms ofetiqnette and ceremony. With these he is perfectly familiar, putting to al! strang- CTS who approach him various questions re- lating to the government, commerce, agricul. ture. military and naval affairs of their respec- tive countries! By such means he has ac- quired much information, which he is enabled to retain by the aid ofa most tenacious mem ory. He can neither read not write; and yet, there is not more accurate diplomatist living. 1
 Mehemet Ali is an admirable hOrseman and possessing as he does the most reckless bravery, he has recently been known to say, that when mounted on one of his favorite A. rabians, he considers himself still match for dozen Turks. Although several unsuccess- fnl attempts have been made by various means to get rid of this dangerous and powerful en- emy of the Imperial Sultan, he appears en- tirely free from the nervous fear of assassina- tion. so generally noticed in persons, who, like him, have been elevated to similar high stations, amidst revolution and blood.shed.
 Duchess of Berri.-The avowal of this prin- cess, which has been filed among the archives of the kingdom, has overwhelmed her in dis grace, and filled all Europe with amazement Her personal history is little known in this country; nor until lately, has it been much diversified with incident. She is descend ant of the Neapolitan branch of the house oft Va!oIs, and consequently, the relative both ot her deceased husband and of the present Royal family of France. In earlier life she was gay, frivolous, and eager in the pursuit of| trlfling pleasures; but when the misfortunes of her family swept over them, she displayed such fostitude and energetic devotion, as won the admiration of all. Even her last wild en- terprise of another revolution, to place her son upon the thr0ne-sacriicing her comfort, enduring fatigue and privation-exposing her self to all the incidents of wanderer in dis l guise, and hazarding her life in the event of failure, was regarded as another brilliant ex- hibition of maternal herOsm. But the chap. ! let she had won is withered; aud she is now an object of generation by her own party, and of derision by the other.
 1 The princess is in the forty sixth year of her age, and was expected to become " mother in the present month.
 The declaration of her private marriage in Italy gains very little credit among the jour nalists or the public.
 Indeed there seems to be an anachronism V" i'b ""'Sh ID w oSSV"hS 'O'' AACl ! Royal Highness left Italy on the 24th of April last, nearly year ag0-and if she has trans. cended the ordinary laws ofnature in one par ticular, that circumstance does not increase the probability that she will in another.
 The Princess was accompanied in her fugi- tive sojournings through La Vendee and else where by Jew-named Deutz. He was her constant companion; and we find in Pha- delphia paper of Wednesday, extracts of let ter, purporting to Do written by that individu- al to gentleman of Boston, in which he speaks in familiar terms of the Duchess.

 General La Fayette, or rather his residence at La Grange-sO well known as the Asylum of the persecuted friends of Liberty from whatever quarter of the globe-has been the object of an outrage which excited great in- dignation at Paris. We translate from the National ofthe 18th ult. the following account of it:-
 Violation of he Dwelling of Lqtayette.- Gen. La Fayette communicated to. day to the Chambers a fact. which even after all the in. dignities heretofore witnessed, will revolt the public. A member of the Polish government, the celebrated Lele,Uei, driven from Paris at the instigation of the Russian Ambassador, had found an asylum at La Grange, in the house of the General He has just been ta- ] kpn from if hv vpns nsd0rDsps yvh ho fh,,s
