Our new Pacha continues his abode at Cairo
The council are encharged with the management
aisses oe as his abstraction from neither concerns
affords HIM the opportunity OF doing. The :onsuls
complain he carries this to fault, and consider
they aggrieved by the rarity of the occasions
sonal intercourse. The Pacha takes their grumb-
llngs phlosophically, enjoying with undisturbed
M0schdiaaCe the amusement his horses and dogs
afford, and IN which he seems to experience much
pleasure.
The British agent and consul general, Mr.. Muir
ray, has apprised all merchants under his flag
trading with the interior, that and after the l4h
instant, they are to consider the Bouln custom
house no longer possesses any right OF search
their merchandise or luggage.
The French consular agent has made noise
lately, about the threatened dismissal of four en-
gineer officers, employed by Ibralim Pacha for
engineering. Their contracts embraced term o!
four years, and II appears the present government
lnding there had been no employment for them,
when the claims Of the parties were satisfied up
the period OF dismissal. The consul, however,
took severer view OF the responsibility of the
Egyptian government, and, 1t Is said, threatened
to pull Down his flag and break off diplomatic cor
respondence, il the demands made by him were
not immediately complied with. The matter has
been hushed up, and suppose settled, as 1t should
have been at first.
The disposition to economist in the public ex-
pendiure OF the country, has induced the dismiss
sal or suspension OF many OF the highly salaried
European officers, among whom are number of
French gentlemen, which circumstance, no doubt,
has been a cause of annoyance, and, perhaps, cha
grin, to the authorities Of that nation.
The local passport system has been attempted ;
can hardly say, however, with any great success
The strong feeling of hostility it has been met
with by one or two OF the leading consus, who
IN 1t the agency of espionage and abuse, has had
the effect of cramplng its free operation if not Of
checking its developement Each traveller for
Cairo or the interior is, by the government propo-
ing his name, nation, and destination, which pass
port having been vised at the Foreign office, is re-
turned to the traveller, who is liable to have his
business canvassed, and license to travel demand
ed by eveIv watch who may, in the provincial dis
ricts carry with him the badge OF official employ
ment. Its application to the cases of the low Eu-
ropean rufilans with whom the country is at the
moment inundated, may be less Objectionable; bat
ii must be borne in ind few of these fellows pos
the means of transit, and the operation of the
measure will press with the greater severity on
better cilcumsanced and more respectable classes.
II IS not intended IN any way to apply to the move
ments OF India passengers, or others merely pass
ing through the country.
Two sons of Ibrahm Pacha, and one of Niche
met ALI who have been for the last four years in
the Egyptian College at Paris, receiving their edu.
cation, arrived by the Ripon on the 6h inst, and
have proceeded to Cairo, to claim from their cousin
the patti mony which their father had bequeathed.
1t is understood Abbas behaved literally towards
them, and granted all the fixed property held by
his predecessor. The'youths seem intelligent and
well lntormed, and speak the French language
with ease and f1uency.
A frman from Constanhnople was read publicly
at the citadel at Cairo, on the 10th instant, from
his Hiehness the Sultan, approving of the measures
for the administration OF the government adopted
by the Viceroy, and commencing to his liberal in
terest and consideration the young men just named.
Considerable changes in the internal p,llce of
Cairo are IN contemplation. Ii has been found that
the water from which the people are obliged, at
This season Of the year, to draw their daily sup
plies, and which has been permitted to stagnate
and decompose for months, under the intense sun
Of April and May, in canals, has been productive
of much disease and mischief; and Linant Bey
proposes TO remedy this, by supplying the city with
continued fresh daily supply forced through iron
gines, at the estimated cost of 9l45,COO. There
have been three, persons connected with the
Pacha's household elevated to the rank of Bey; and
Huidan Bey the director of the Transit, has OBJ
tanned the decoration and pay of Pacha.
The Nile continues very low, indeed. We have
been desparing of the possibility of continuing It's
navigation during the month of June but 1t is
hoped, by good arrangement, the communicating
Will not be interrupted.
