The viceroy and His Uncle-A Serious Fam.
lily Difficulty.
Some statements lately appeared in the European
press relative to arbitrary conduct on the part OF the
Vceroy OF Fgypts OflcIals to Prince Hahn Pacha,
his uncle. The Prince has since addressed the fol-
lowing letter to all foreign COnsuls General In Alex
andria:-
CHOUBRA, Cairo, May o. 1868.
SIR shall not go over the details Of everything
that has been done to me up till the present moment.
and which have patiently endured the facts being
wen known to the public; but as these abuses, in.
stead of ceasing, are continued In such manner
to Justify an apprehension of still worse treatment,
feel bound to bring the following circumstances
under the notice OF the Consuls General:-
My mother-in-law, the Princess Mumtag Kadin,
died on January last and rs her sole heir, according
to Mussulman law entered the same day on the pos
session OF her property. gave the instructions for
into nv service the establishment Of the late Prin.
cess. Matters took their regular course until the
14th OF April last the season when preparations for
the wheat harvest are usually begun On that day
my farm bailin was summoned to wait upon the
mudir OF Garbieh governor OF the province, and he
w@s ban sa% Ge WhSe S cay az he aan Without
baif asked permission to return to his business.
but he was told to remain at Tanter, and to come
however, while going through the town looking for
lodging, he met person unknown to him, who
tried to quarrel with him. and suddenly seized him
by the collar and cried out for help. The police
cavasses at once appeared the spot arrested the
baili put him in prison. and the next morning sent
him to the mudrieh, where he still remains
On being informed Of this, sent on my farm
another baf, who reported to me that the laborers
and other men on the farm had been ordered to re-
fuse to work. My balifr accordingly employed some
strangers in their place, but the 10th OF Mohar-
rem, the Nerzir-elK Ksm, chief OF the department,
arrived about three O'Clock after midnight and had
these men arrested and imprisoned Thereupon my
bailiff returned to Cairo to inform me OF wnat had
occurred, so that should understand that we were
exposed to predetermined persecution, against
which 1t was impossible to maintain our rights.
Under these circumstances, decided to sell the stan
ding crops and to let the farms. On the 18th inst
I sent Rermis Bey with authority to sell the crops
and TO let the land to the hrers He proceeded thther
the same day, and met there the Nerzr-e- Kism ac-
by force which had broken into my once
and taken possession OF my books and papers, and
arrested my cashier clerks and, in fact, all my en-
pOyes. Rermis Bey went at once to the governor
and asked him the reason for these proceedngs but
only obtained vague and meaningless answers
to this:-"I know nothing about It,: 1t is
no business OF mine; the AFFAIR belongs to the Betel-
Wal court OF Wardsl, which has given direct orders
without our knowledge"
The last acts Of violence being the elimination of
series OF arbitrary acts OF which have been long
time victim, and being anxious that the outrages
on my servants should not eventually
reach my own person, / wish to place myself
under the moral protection OF your powerful au-
thority, until the Sultan, my august sovereign in
whose justice put my whole confidence deigns to
take action on this statement, which / have sub.
mitted to the appreciation OF his exalted wisdom.
