IsMAIL PAsHA, THE Ex-KHEDIvE.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes: The ex-viceroy Of Egypt
is at the Grand Hotel was introduced to
him in the Tuileries Gardens BY one OF his
old ministers, who now resides In Paris. His
highness has rather the air of q rich German
who has contrived to escape military service
and lived always on the fat of the land, than
of an oriental. He is fair, and his mus
tache and beard are the color of English
home-brewed ale. His eyelids show want OF
horsepower. They droop, and are heavy.
But his eye Is intensely keen, and is OF
yellowish blue shade. His features would
be regular ii his nose was a trife longer.
IsmaIl is adipose. His figure resembles that
OF the prince of Wales, but it is somewhat
taller. When he takes pedestrian exercise
he leans on the arm of tall Frenchman OF
a dark southern complexion. who is bis sec
rotary. The equipsge in which he rides is
dingy one, drawn by two niser-
able-lookins horses. / dare say he could
afford Landowner carriage, as he occupies
a splendid suite of rooms at the Grand Hotel
and keeps sumptuous table there. Mehemet-
Ali, his grandfather, was from Albania, and,
the ex-khedIve says, first cousin OF Ali
Pasha. The example OF this adventurer wss
not thrown away upon him. He did at Cairo
what Ali attempted to 30 at Jsnina. Doubt
less Mehemet had German blood IN his
veins. Most of his descendants now living
are fair-haired. Ismail Pasha was brought
mp in France during the reign of Louis
Philippe. He speaks French like a Partisan.
How could he do otherwise? When he was
at Cairo he was surrounded in his hours of
recreation by BouIevardiers. The due de
Grammont, Caderousse, Dupuis, the comic
actor, and Mile. Schneider were invited to
his jolly suppers. His animal spirits are
now at a very low ebb, and he has lost his
Palais Royal comedies, although he has
been twice since he arrived here to
see plays of Labiche. Every day he
holds reception. His rooms are crowd
ed with politico- finsnciers and fishers in
troubled water. NJ. Duclerc has been pri
vately TO call upon him. His partner in the
Bdnqae du Pdys-Bas NJ. Joubert, was instru-
mental in getting Ismail deposed, but would
now be glad to see him restored, because he
thinks mat he alone could apply the policy
OF the rod and courbache advocated by Gam
BETA few weeks back in the Chamber. The
ex-khedive does not wear spectaces, although
very near-sighted. But while he leans with
one hand upon the arm of his secretary, be
holds with another pair of glasses before
his eyes. At home and out OF doors his head
is capped with a red fez. He is extremely
fond OF his daughters. The eldest of them
- .. EiviIr, where she lives in the European
manner and dresses in the Partisan STYLE.
But In taking carriage exercise she wears a
gauZe veil.
