vacancy in the archiepiscopate. As tho long
protractcd war between Egypt and Abysslnia has
resulted the occupation OF the Abyssinian coast
by the Khedives forces. considerable difficulty has
been experienced by the people In obtaining admis
sion to their country for the deceased Archbshops
successor, who has more than attempted to
enter his diocese by ono or other of the Abyssnan
ports, but without success. The Egyptian author
tiles have invariably refused him permission to
land, and he has been compelled to return time
after time to Alexandria, his mission unfulhllcd.
1t appears, however according to intelligence lately
received from Aden, that few weeks ago the new
Archbishop managed to evade tho malignant watch
fulness of the Egyptian officials by assuming the
disguise of smith. in which character he arrived
at an Abyssinian port as storage passenger in q
coasting vessel, and got safely ashore without ex-
citing their suspicion. By aid of certain influential
Coptic Christians, who had been secretly advised
of his advent, he was promptly smuggled through
the Egyptian lines, and has since been formally In
atallod IN his hioh Office.
