SUMMARY OF FOREIGN INTELLI-
GENCE.
The official account of the taking of
Belida, near Algiers, May 4, by Marshall
Malice, was announced at Paris by tele
graph May 9th, i. e. four days for about
1900 miles The Marshall had hoped to
send it soon enough to grace the Kings
fete on the lst with his new African tri-
umph. The Hahem of Belida and the
Caids of the Beni-Salahs and Of the Had
joutes grounded their arms at the gates,
and afterwards joined in the escort Of the
Marshall.
In the appropriations in the French
Chamber of Deputies to various branches
of the army, Marshall Soult spoke warm
ly in favor of the Artillery, TO place it on
a footing with that of other powers.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 10.-Fewer
troops having been recently sent to Kur-
distan, it is believed the apprehensions as
to the hostile intentions Of Ibrahim Pasha
are beginning TO subside. Active prepa-
rations are making to send out more Of
the feet. Some cases of plague have APP
peared, and separate hospitals are now or
dered for the Mussulmans, Greeks, Ar
menian< and Jews.
GREEcE.-The commerce of this coun-
try has greatly declined. A vast amount
Of British merchandise remained stored
and unsold. Ohio has refused the mer-
chants of Syria to make that free port,
because he would loose the $4,000 duties
the Island yields, though the vast increase
Of trade by making it free would be a
great benefit to the country. The Aus
trian steamers are particularly favored by
the imported Bavarian King, and allowed
to bring their Goals from England free,
and treated as vessels Of war, paying no
duties though owned by private compa-
nv at Trieste. These privileges are de-
MED the English and French steamers.
EGYFrIKN LlTERAToRE.-Egypt Ger.
tainly feels, or rather takes European Gle
vilization more kindly than any other part
Of the empire of Mahomedanism. Not
always however. Achmet Efendi, an AL
| gerine, brought up in England, has foun-
ded a photographic establishment at Cairo,
and was about publishing several Arabic
works-among them the ancient history
of Arabia, and the celebrated dictionary
of Kama-when the vice-roy suddenly
suddenly seized his press, and put stop
to the erfterprize. Eehemet Ally has no
notion Of reviving the golden age of the
Caliphs, and of Saracen literature, among
his ignorant and slavlsh subjects. New
Machinery for increasing his cotton pro-
duct he is willing to receive no doubt, and
also all other useful arts and sciences that
aggrandize his wealth, but no freedom Of
discussion on moral political or religious
subjects.
The King of Sweden has authorized
Norwegian vessels to carry their own
flag, but they must do it at the risque Of
being captured by the Barbary powers, by
whom this flag is not recognized.
Gen. Winiaminof, late commander oil
the Russian army defeated by the Circas.
SLAMS, is dead, and Gen. Grabbe appoin-
ted his successor. Gen. Grabbe must
have something more active than Russian
phlegm, if he expects to overhaul the feet
horsemen of that rrgion. We observe
the military officers in high rank in Rus.
STA who meet with defeat, generally come
to violent death soon after. Poison j:
the best remedy, and the Autocrat himself
has sometimes to take it.
The Marquis of Mirahores, the Extra
ordinary Ambassador, charged by the
Spanish Government to attend the coro
! nation of her Majesty, Queen Victoria
arrived in Bordeaux from Madrid on the
ID inst.
5 Accounts from Florence, dated the %,
ult. state that on that day the Count d
st. Leu, (Louis Bonaparte) was to b
married TO a young lady, aged II year
only. The bride is described as th'
) handsomest woman in Florence. Tn
/ bridegroom is said to be so much para
. lyzed as to be unable to help himself t
; food.
The Journal da Havre Of the 4th, state
3 : that it was probable Marshall Soult an
3 his suite would embark at Havre for Lon
B don. The steamer which would con
D vey them was to take on board a numbe
D | of pieces Of artillery and gunners to max
9 and return the salutes on the passage an
9 on their arrival in London.
