kct Of the administration Of afAirs, some Of the
consos had entertained thoughts ofrepresenting the
necessity Of his deposition BY the Sultan Is unit for
his post.
Ulemas and readers of the Koran, who confirmed
him In his fsnaticsm and dislike Of Europeans. He
was very fond Of horses pigeons and particularly OF
collected . large number, Of all descriptions and
from all parts Of the world; and he liked TO spend
his time with them and his readers Of the Koran in
some out.sf the-way place In tho desert or on the
Nile. He spent large sums Of money in building
and furnishing palaces In and about Cairo at Abba
seeyeh, where he intended to found new town, and
on the desert.
During the first years Of his government Abbas
Pasha got rid Of all the tried officials who had
served Hehemet Ali for many years, and who, from
their long 'expel ience were well qualified to give
good advice in all matters pertaining TO government.
Among such were Kiaml Pasha, 6ami Pasha, Kanee
Pashs and Sheriff Pasha; while he raised to Office
men whose only qualification was that they were
entirely bound 70 his will, who never vensured upon
any act upon their own responsibility, and were
constantly removed from one post to another, SO
that business was allowed to fall into arrears.
Abbas Pasha was . strict Mahomedan; he was
naturally clever, but INDECENT. He was well versed
in Oriental literature, and had thorough know
ledge Of the Turkish, Persian and the Arabic
languages. he was always on favorable terms With
the Bedouins Of the desert and from the large sums
Of money that he entrusted to them, il u supposed
that ne entertained the idea Of some day retiring
to live among them.
| The decease Of Abbas Pasha was most unexpected,
and It WAS only the day before that his son, Fl
Hamee Pashs, left fof England In the steam yacht
| Faid Gibaad. The Sultan, in order to draw money
| out Of Abbas Paaha, had betrothed his youngest
daughter TO FL Hamee Pasha, but, as the latter will
now have no authority, power or rank in the coun-
try it is not at all likely that the marriage will ever
take place. Ell Hamee Pasha win have 70 return to
Egypt as quietly as possible and the three Psshss
who accompanied hin-AbdalAh Pasha, an Englsh
man. Soliman Pasha, and Khair ed-deen Pasha-wil
also be put aside with very little consideration, for
those who were jealous for the interest Of -Abbas
Pasba will not find favor with Said Pasha.
Great changes for the better are now expected
| to take place in Egypt under Said Pasha, who has
hitherto shown himself Hberalminded, though
rather extravsgant man, and takes pleasure in the
society of Europeans. He has declared his inten-
tion Of adopting measures for the improvement Of
He will not undertake anything new for the pre-
sent, but will hasten the completion of the public
works now in progress such canals for the irrga
ton of the land, and the railway between Alexan-
dria and Cairo, which will very probably be extend
| ed to Suez.
Alexandria win benefit by the change, as Abbas
Pasha did the town all the injury he could, because
the princes his uncles and cousins had taken refuge
in it from him; and during the six years that be was
Viceroy, he did not spend whole day within the
town, but merely passed through it on two occa
sions when on his way to onstantinople. Said
Pasha, on the other hand, win make Alexandria his
usual place Of residence.
Said Pasha Ia also on friendly terms with all the
rest Of his family his brothers, nephews, and cou-
sins, which it's to be hoped will continue to be the
case, as the dissersions fomented by Abbas Pasha
have only weakened the whole Of them, without
benefttng any one In particular.
During the last three nights Alexandra has been
illuminated In honor OF the accession of Said Pasha
