Greece cost the lives Of more than forty persons,
without counting The wounded. Il s believed that
the opposition i'll have from fifteen 10 twenty voices.
The different parties have expended enormous sans
during the elections. THIS money must have come
from foreigners as the public chest completely
penniless. The English, French, and Russians, are
said to have spared no meney in order 10 obtain the
majority for their party. On the 20th OF July, the
king after cabinet council had been held, which
lasted four hours made another attempt prevail on
NJ. Coletti 10 enter into the present Cabinet but he
refused. He advised the king 10 adjourn tine ques-
ton until after the meeting o The chambers.

EGYPT
ABDICaTIoN OF MEHEMET ALt.-We have re
ceived the following intelligence by express. II
reached Paris by telegraphic patch on Tuesday:
ALEXANDRIA, July q.
"Hs Highness. the viceroy, has jlsl suddenly
left alexandria, declaring that he renounces for
ever Egypt and public affairs, and that he reiire5 10
Mecca
"lbrahim is at Alexandria. The city is quiet"
The ahdication or death of Mchemet Ali is no
longer IN event ci great European importance. The
occurrences ofIS4O and Gal having secured The
ccssion 10 the Egyptian pachaiic in the fs:ny of
Mchemet Ali, we are fortunately saved from the diff
fcullies WHICH would have arisen had the right To
appoint remained with the Porte, while tic resources
of the country were in the energetic hands OF such
chief as Ibrahim.
Yet the abdcaiion Of Meliemet Ahis not without
n certain immediate interest for Europe. Ii is not
simply the withdrawal from active life OF one OF the
most remarkable men of the present age. The an
nouncement that the pacha intended ''to retire to
Mecca" looks as if the old man bad thoughts OF
preparing for his final pilgrimage. Butall our most
recent accounts state that his health and his intel
ect were vet unimpaired, and il is we'll known that
although hlehcmel Ali had high respect for the
Holv Cities, as source OF tribute and affordng
by their possession unbounded influence over the
faithful, yet by his opinions his conduct, and his as
socaiions the Pacha was living scandal TO all true
believers.
