ABDrcATIoN OF MEHEMsT ALI.-We have recelv-
ed the following intelligence by express II reach
ed Paris by lelegraphlc despatch on Tuesday .; %


"His Highness, the Viceroy, has Just suddenly
left Alexandra, declaring that he renoances for
ever Egypt and public affairs, and that ne rehres to
Mecca.


sIbrahim is at Alexandra. The city is quiet"


The abdicauon or death of Mehemet Ali is no
longer an event OF great European Importance. The
occurrences Of 1910 and lS4l having secured the
succession to the Egyptian pachalic in the family
OF Mchemet Ali, we are fortunately saved from the
difficulties which would have arisen had the right
TO appoint remained with the Porte, while the re-
sources OF the country were In the energetic hands
Of such chief as Ibrahim.


Yet the abdication OF Mehemet Ali is not without
a certain immediate interest for Europe. 1t is not
simply the withdrawal from active life of of the
most remarkable men OF the present age The an
nouncement that the Pacha Intended "tO retire to
Mecca looks as if the old man had thoughts of
preparing tor his final pilgrimage But all our most
recent accounts sate.t his health and his lntel-
lect were yet unimpaired, and it is well known
that although Mehemet Ali had high respect for
the Holy Cities, as source OF tribute, and as afford





the faithful, yet by his opinions, his conduct, and
his associations, the Pacha was living scandal TO
all true believers.


Two sicilics.


The Journal of the Two Sicies of the 9th ut.
publishes the sentence and execution of nine of
the unfortunate young men who sailed from Corfu
in June last for the Caiabrias On the Gath, the
military commission sitting at Cozenza pronounced
sentence OF death upon seventeen OF the persons
implicated in the descent upon Calabria, nine OF
which were carried into effect the following day.
Among the unhappy sufferers were Attlho and
Emilio Bandiera, sons OF the Austrian Admiral !;
Nicola Rlcclotti, the commander OF the living CO.
Iumn OF the Insurgents OF Ancona, III 1881, who
subsequently fought throughout the civil war in
Spain, and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel;
Dominica Moro, formerly lieutenant in the Aus
tran navy; and Anacharsis Narde, a lawyer and
nephew to the Dictator OF Modena, in the lnsur-
rection OF 1881.


The Cologne Gazette states, that the elections in
Greece cost the lives OF more than forty persons,
without counting the wounded. 1t is believed that
the opposition will have from fifteen to twenty
voices. The different parties have expended enor-
nous sums during the elections, This money must
have come from foreigners, as the public chest was
completely renpiless. The English, French, and
Russians, are said to have spared no money in
order 10 oblala the majority for their party. On
the 20h OF July, the king, after cabinet council
had been held, which lasted four hours made
another attempt TO prevail on M. Colettl TO enter
into the present cabinet; but he refused. He ad-
vised the king 10 adjourn the question until after
the meeting of the chambers.


Russia and Clrcassia.


Accounts from COnsantnople TO the 18th ut.
state that information had been received of the
defeat OF the Russians by the Clrcasslans IN Dag
hestan. The gallant and lndsmitable mountalneers
were commanded by Chamll Bey, and the Rus

Maximilian. The Daghestan is on the western
coast; its principal city is Derbend, seaport. A

Further intelIigence.has been received from Pa
pitt; supplying defects in the former accounts, CIV
ing the French version Of affairs and adding se-
quel of later date. The French story is given in a
letter dated the 10Th OF March


"After the first month of occupation, the French
found their supply OF fresh provisions gradually
Withdrawn; and they discovered that the owners
of cattle had combined to produce scarcity. To
baffl. that combination, the Governor issued de-
on the 1lth OF January, enjoining all owners
der p,n Of forfeiture. This was obeyed round
about Papitl but the distant bays the preaching
OF the missionaries excited the people, and the de-
was trodden under foot The Governor sum-
moned the chiefs to return to their duty; and an
armed detachment arrested four, who were convey
ed as prisoners on board the corvette Ambuscade.
THE police arrested at the time the bearer of
a letter which compromised Queen Pomare and Mr..
Prltchard the British Consul her intimate adviser;
the whole plot connected with the cattle was de-
tailed in it the people encouraged to ress
tance, but to act with prudence" The Queen
went on board the Basilisk ketch and placed her
self under protection. Ga the 1st February, the
Governor sent message to the English comman-
der, to say that the landing of the Queen would be
regarded as act Of hostility. An English steamer
arrived at Papti on the 18th absurd rumors were
circulated and several English were arrested for
aiding false reports Of the speedy arrival of an
English fleet; Meanwhile, the people Of Tarabou
Bay (about forty miles distant from Papili) re-
volted and told the messenger sent by the Co.
vernon to demand their submission, that they only
made this declaration in the presence Of the Eng
