It IS we'll known that the PaCha of E. gypt has obtained the aid of several French officers to discipline his troops and to ex-

 tend his power. It is as well known, that the French, like ourselves, ,have their Greek

 Committees, who detest the Pacha, and

 raise subscriptions to drive his forces from

 Europe. Among the former is General

 Count Livron, who enjoys the confidence

 of the Egyptian Chief; and among the

 latter is M.de Trone,a a respectable mem-

 Der of the Paris bar-an ardent lover of

 freedom and Greece. Count Livron, a

 few months ago, arrived at Marseilles to

 recruit for the Pacha, when M. de Trone,

 hearing of his arrival and the object of his

 visit, sent him message to the following

 purport: that he (de Trone) was anxious to do something for the freedom of Greece that his delicate health and domestic av- ocations would not permit him to 90 and fight its enemies on the Greek soil-and that he was therefore obliged to select one ot them nearer home, who disgraced the name of Frenchman, by joining it with that of a renegade. M. de Trone conclu- ded by asking the Count to tell him when 1t would be convenient for him that he should come to Marseilles to meet him. Livron answered that M. de Trone need not give himself the trouble of travelling to Marseilles, as he (Liyron) was about to set out for Paris, where he would let him hear from him immediately OH his arrival. The Count did indeed soon arrive, and mentioned the extraordinary challenge to some of his friends, who wishing to play upon his feelings or to try his firmness, represented de Trone as formidable an- tagonist, who had already in duels sealed the fate of several of his adversaries. Li- vron, as being the challenged party ,had the choice of weapons, and wishing to place himself on something like an equality with so noted parsonage, proposed that they should fight with swords on horse- back.

 De Trone, though he had never fought in his lifetime with any kind of weapons ,on horseback or on foot, was obliged to ac- cept of this tournament with cavalry off, cer. They accordingly went .out to St. Ouens, village in the neighborhood of Paris, with their respective seconds. We shall not stop to describe how these cham pions of the Greeks and Egyptians were accoutred-how they prepared for the combat,and what hopes and fears animated the bosom of each. Suffice it to say that the righteous cause prevailed-that the cavalry officer was unhorsed by the lawyer ---and that the count arma togG was ex- empli6ed in favor of Greece.
