This election* ? which took place in the most peaceful ' and oiderJy (nam) er, has been attend ed with no bloodshed, nor has any one been banisbfed; on the other lund, several individuals who werer ( banished under O mar Pacha, as dis turbers of the pciace, Are recalled, and have obtained important offices.

Thatc tyrant had stlll many ruinous projects and cruelties in con- > temptation, which were to have bb?n shortly carried into effect. Thur; there was found in his pocket book the following memorandum, written by himself: "The daughter of the* English consul, a very pretty and' flexible girl, 15 years old, and the sifter of the Dutch consul, who is liandso?ne and accomplished, shall be carried by-Airce out of their Louses, compelled to change their religion, and to be the Dey*s mistres -Se^r The daughter of the Spanish C.onsuLfeWhp is not *so handsome, *)i*U he itched and keprttt' reserve.

He saw. dearly that suc$ cruelties would hot pas* without notice, and said often, " The christians will probably come and bombard me a little, but I shall fiftd appwHo make my peace." Aly was not destitute of talents ; hut he was some time like-onbtsiving <vt like sftmished tor t ttflenn at an earlier period orbis life, he had . been confined in the mad-house to the city.

Ho received, first, 1000 strokes* ami after that, 4 o^OOO daily. After be had received strokes, in this manner, he waswftt home, where he died tn Uftr<i%a after, airid his brother, who waa treated the same mannner, short - M after. The Turks feared this family very much, and have there fore extripated it. i1' V- " ; \ ', s?

I Sometimes he bands 'out a paper to a I particular friend, who never thinks I of banding it back.
