confusion. Part Of the troops eadeaNored

Others made for the most formidable points
Of the Euphrates. II appears that large
portion Of the fugitives succeeded in escap-
ing, and that the massacre was not so
great as might have been expected. But
the camp, artillery, baggage, and even the
muskeis OF the Turkish army fell into The
hands Of the Egyptian. The Seraskler,
carried away in the general ront, crossed
The Euphraies. His horse, wounded by
ball in the shoulder, fell from loss OF blood
in the middle of the river, and would have
been carried away with his rider, when
young Albanian, on a small Epirote horse,
seized the Saraskier by the middle, and con-
irived to get him safe to the other bank.

ing under the tent Of the Seraskier." Gas-

THE EGYPTIAN VICTORY.

"The Turkish army occupied strong
position at Nizeb. Ibrahim, who had re-
ceived the Pacha's permission, 10 make an
attack, wished to assail this position in
front, but Soliman Bey Colonel Selves
succeeded in restraining his ardour, and it
was agreed that the enemy should be drawn
by maneuvres from entrenchment. The
Egyptians made ieigned retreat, and the
Seraskier, Hafiz Pacha, sent out strong
division Of cavalry. The first corps it
came up with, composed of Bedouins, dis
persed according TO the order they had re-
ceived and the Seraskier, imagining that
the Egyptians might be easily routed, adj
vanced with the whole ofhis forces. Thus
he abandoned his strong position, aud two
formidable redoubts constructed by prussian
officers, from which great advantage was
anticipated. In order to draw the Turks
still futher from their entertainments, Ibra-
him and Sollman continued to retire for two
hours, Fastening to gain field of battle
