issued severe order, ip pursuance Of which
all we're set at liberty. and the choice vas
left to them of settling on the borders oft
Nile or returning to their own country with
out impediment.
His Highness at the same time ordered
that henceforth all the inhabitants who had
ca,'se Of complaint ono against the other,
instead of taking jsstice in their own hands,
should refer their complaints to the Govern
or, who had formal instructions 10 treat them
with humanity and justice. according to the
laws. This order extends to Beledi, Bedavi,

Before the departure from Cairo, mes
sage had arrived from his Excellency Ahmet
Pasha, informing his Highness that the King
| Of fAbyssinia had sent letter with presents,
and that Ahmet Pasha had judged It right to
send in return other presents worthy of E.
gypt and letter. $.
In consequence Of this intelligence, his
Highness had ordered al Cairo further pres
ents more conformable to his own grandeur
and munifcence. with the intention of send
ing them to Abyssinia by that old and faith
ful servant of Egypt, Col. Rustem Bcv.-
Having on his arrival at Cartoum, made
known his intention among the sheiks, his
Highness was much astonished to see them
look at each other and smile. The fIreign
lVaissierc, an old servant Of Egypt, then said.
1.-the Abyssinians are savages, and il would
be exposing yourself to treat them thus; it
is even possible that they might act like the
King Of Darfour."
+ His Highness therefore deemed it prudent
to await the return of the persons sent to
Abyssinia with. the presents Of Ahmet Pasha.
He would then know from their treatment
by the Abyssinian King what position they
must take, and act accordingly Il was
known that those persons had arrived al
Kalabat, place dependent on he Egyptian
Government. His lIighness when at Fas-
ungora, and on the point Of returning 10 E.
gypt, left orders that his presents should be
taken by one of the officers as soon as the frs
messengers should have returned.
