compact masses, the infantry IN the centre, the
cavalry and light artillery each wing, and made
vigorous charges on the Turks, who were astound-
ed by this sudden attack. The ranks of the lat
ter were soon thrown into disorder The Ser
asker, however, rode up to the 'front.' and by his
valor and the bravery OF the corps around him,
remedI for time his false step. His heavy ar
lillery unfortunately for him, could not come up;
and the light guns Of the Egyptians, directed by
European officers, seconded by well-tmed char
ges of cavalry, threw his ranks into disorder.
His wings were at the same time too extended /;
and his .troops exted, by the ardor Of pursuit,
had not preserved any regular order of battle;
they could make scarcely any resistance; and at
this period some corps of Arabs, which lbrahim
IN his retreat left in ambush, on the right and
left, fell upon the Turkish rear, and thus COM
pletely put the Ottoman troops to the rout.
The disorder became SO great that the Turkish
soldiers threw away their arms. and fled in the
utmost confusion. Partof the troops endcavored
to gain the ntrenched camp, while others made
for the most iordable points of the Euphrates. 1t
appears that large portion of the fugitives sue
ceeded in escaping, and that the massacre was not
so great as might have been expected. But the
camp, arillary, baggage, and even the muskets Of
the Turkish army fell into the hands of the Egyp-
tians. The Seraskier, carried away in the gem
eral rout, crossed the Euphrates. His horse,
wounded by ball i'll the shoulder, fell from loss
of blood in the middle Of the river, and would
have been carried away, with his rider, when a
young Albanian, on small Epriote horse, seized
the Seraskier by the middle and contrived 10 get
him safe to the other bank. Three hours after
wards lbrahim was reposing under the tent Of the
Seraskier'

.s'PARIs, Friday, 5 p. M.-The above news
has produced a great sensation, and the diploma
tic corps is in dismay.
A letter in the Paris Messenger states that Me-
hemet Ali has accepted the overtures Of the cap

protection 1t alleges also that an envoy from the
young Sultan had arrived in Egypt, bringing al

FRANcE.-The Chamber Of Peers of France
had passed sentence OH the insurgents Barbes

HANovER.-There had been some serious dis
turbances in this kingdom, and particularly in
the captal.-They grew out of a petition TO the
Germanic Dietagainst the arbitrary proceedings Of
the King, and for the restoration of the constitu-
ton Of 1893. This petition was signed by M.
Rumann, chief of the magistracy and King Err
nest, as soon as the fact came to his knowledge,
suspended M. Rumann, and ordered him to be
tried by the Privy Council.
Thereupon, the citizens of Hanover rose in
body, and proceeded to the palace, where they
had an interview with the King, whom they told
very firmly, that, by the law, M. Rumann could
not be tried by the Privy Council, but only by a
municipal tribunal; and the King was forced to
own that such was the law.
Of course M. Rumann would be acquitted, his
judges having been equally guilty with himself
In the meantime, great evaporation existed
among the people, and serious riots occurred,
which were not suppressed without bloodshed.
