Tie following fact. The Aforementioned cheap clerk

I''i, sighmg the Coisuls to passports. which
he sold 10 fr,ienors. who by tais be ;aJne
Amocan pro,t.(s. The Consul.General, for rea.Oni
unkho"L to me, refused to puurh the oulprt, who
wss s'mPy dismissed; and, moreover all w-s done to
bush up the unplcasart matter. This clerk, with 80
month, was accustomed 10 ride ou, almost every
cay, although be had DO income bat his salary. Now
another clerk OF similar kud is filling his post. ani
presuue such clerks will be employed until Govern
ut makes allow for them as well as for dra.
gowen art janissaries.
A wealthy rsjah of the name Of EscNo Putrus Cas-
ss, sone five years sgo got into trou,e with the l-e
Abbos Pashs, who claimed from this man, his subjec.,
for ressots unkno W. the sum of % 90 purses
(:25 the pgne.l THIS Coptish nabob managed, in
January 1852, TO obtain The the of American Intepre
ter il Cairo | cay the title, because he knows but
one, his native Arab tongue Casss escaped in Ibis
manner not only the local Jurisdiction, bat he dared
even under the ags of the American flag to set up
countercaim of $1,000 purses against the Egyptian
authorit Unfortunate the employer Of this E,)p-
t-n Ipreter ded after and 70 the atp 'eneu-

Then FOR reasoDs easily guessed al and under the pau.
sbe pIetence that Ca.sis has had recourse also to
FreIch prote c,on in his with the local authorities
lie dsnis ed him, ard Abbas Pasha at seized on
his recovered subject. Tie truth isths; Casss is war
den to the Coptish Church, to which he belongs end
this Church stands under French protection, and in
this manner oily Casss had recourse 10 the French
Consulate. In the beginning of 1854, Cassis still
under lock and key p Cairo and he trying thento
recover the lost American protection with the asss
tance of u Frenchmau of the name OF C, who was
to have 81 900 for his services and who had besides
open credit for $1,000 to make his services
efecual. So was told in Alex 4ndria. As left the
country shortly after, lost the thread Of this intrigue
OF course do rot imagine that the Frenchman sd,
ceedtd in is endeavors, in spite of his money and al
though the NceCoDsul was then urgently advocating
the ezDragou ans lost claim to protection to which
he had Lot shade Of a title aud which it would be
so very upoltIc to btstow on him again.
The intent and purpose Of a Consulate in foreign
pats, originally to protect shipping and trade
end to collect useful niorI alton; but of late Of
.hem have been considered slnecures, and part of
the spoil, which party leaders may dstributute TO
their subordinates. An AMERICAS TRAVELLER.
