elusion so common 10 princes Of the
osmaElis dynasiy, Of whose notions Of
government nothing can be known befnre
his assumption Of The imperial and
ponlifesl authority. hence the indisposi.
ton Of Mahmoud is an affair Of more
than ordinary interest. But The Sullsn's
illness has not in the least cooled his
sTdor for war. On The contrary, he has
expressed himself Indifferent TO the pro-
traction Of his life sfIer seeing Mehemel
Ali and his son in chains before him.
The recovery Of Egypt and Syria would
reconcile him TO the loss Of Greece.

Lord Pslmers,on said. he had grea,
sstisisetion in answering the question Of
