t. the continued bad faith Of that men
dIcious nation.
On returning to Constantinople, Kosh-
rw, who had become Captain Pacha, pre-
snted ReSchid 10 his household, consist
irg of retinue of richly dressed young
Mmelukes, most of whom he had pur-
clased. He addressed Reschid by say
ig, "Here present you to your broth
eB;' and turning to the youths he said,
"3ehold pacha covered with honors,'
seemingly in pride for having reared him.

Sc what has been accomplished by mer-
il lie is now near me and in the conf
d,nce of the Sultan, yet he went forth out
O your ranks" These words were ia
ken as offensive. Reschid dropped his
ppe and remained silent. He retired in
al irritated spirit and murmured as he
wsnt out, cam minced flesh to be thus
hid up for sale ?" Koshrew having be-
cme Seraskier .in-chief and the admins
tntor of the new military organization,
tie hatred Of Reschid against his former
master became irreconcilable, while, at
tie same time. he obeyed with alacrity the
Sltan commands.
After the disgraceful battle of Navarl-
NJ, we mean disgraceful to Russia Eng
land and France, Reschid Mehemet Pa
ella was promoted to the rank of Supreme
Governor of Southern Turkey, or Rou:
nell -Valessi. But he was frustrated in
his attempts to compel the Albanians to
occupy Greece, by the hostilities of Eng
land, France and Russia; the policy of
the latter towards Greece being very diff
frent in its object, though apparently in
accordance with the policy of England
snd France. Under these circumstances,
he Albanians, as well as the Greeks, rose
up against the Turkish generalissimo, who
with difficulty escaped in boat, at night
from Prevesa. Misfortune and disgrace
are synonymous in Turkish policy. All
his bravery and former victories were
overlooked: he was deprived of his rank
and emoluments, and sent into obscurity
and inactivity on the banks of the Bos
phorus The Russian invasion brought
him out of this unworthy repoSe. lie
performed several brilliant exploits, and
bis presence, when he galloped on beau
hful white steed along the ranks, never
failed to animate the troops with enthusl-
asm. His old master, then Seraskier Pa
cha, was ordered by the Sultan to invest
him with the Balta and Sable. After the
passage of the Balkan, the treaty of Adri'
anople, so favourable to Russia, was, by
necessity, signed. Reschid then became
'sTrGrand Vizir or Prime Minister, and re,
sumed the military rank of Roumeli Va
lossi. He was authorized to appoint the
Pachas of LariSsa and Yanina, and seve.
raj Eyalets. His patronage was great
He proceeded at once to the south of Rou
melia and to Scoodra. He was successful
lin all the actions which followed, and had
he not been curbed by European diplo'
macy and by the treaty of Adrianople, il
is supposed that he would have recovered
Greece. He, however, thoroughly sub
f dued the turbulent and courageous Alba
, mans and when the empire seemed OF
the brink of dissolution, he consolidated
The rule of the Sultan in all Roumelia anC
Albanir. His next object of ambition wa
to reduce the power of Mehemet Ali, ii
, Egypt; but he wanted the military force
: and the money to fight battles in so dis
tant a country. Besides, he knew wei
q the resources, the activity, the wary ma
neuvres, and the military skill of Niche
met Ali. The latter was, at the sam
. time, intimately aware of the ambition
, views of the young Grand Vizlr; h
; knew, also, that year at least would b
, required before Reschid Mehemet coult
!. sufficiently re re-cstablish the domestic al
fairs of Turkey in Europe, and that a boil
f act on the part of the Pacha of Egyp
would distract and weaken the Grand vi
e zr. He accordingly marched suddenl,,
{ and seized upon Syria, the military ant
i civil administration of which he entrusted
q to his bold son, Ibrahim Pacha. Husslel

a sill considered the idol of the army, th
10 whole military force of Asia Minor wa
ofI placed under his command. He fougt

of the Sultan. He then prepared to marc
