IBRAHIM PASHA.

Nov. 10. At Cairo, aged 59, his Highness Ibrahim Pasha, Viceroy of Egypt.

Ibrahim Pasha was born in 1789 at Cavalla in Roumelia, which was also the birthplace of his father Mahommed Ali. At the age of seventeen he joined his father's army, in which he soon attained a prominent position, and in 1816 he was sent to Arabia against the Wahabees, an heretical sect of the Mahommedan religion, whom he subdued after a harassing war of three years.

He wrested the holy towns of Mecca and Medina from their hands, and re-established the regular course of the caravans. On the 11th Dec. 1819, he was received in great triumph in Cairo, on his return from his victories, and the Sublime Porte gave him on that occasion the high title of Pasha of the Holy Cities.

In the year 1824, when Mahommed Ali was commanded by the Sultan to assist in quelling the insurrection in Greece, Ibrahim Pasha took command of the expedition, and sailed from Alexandria for the Morea with a fleet consisting of 163 sail, 16,000 infantry, 700 horses, and four regiments of artillery. At the battle of Navarino on the 20th Oct. 1827, the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were completely annihilated, and only a very small portion of the troops returned to their country. During the whole time that he was in the Morea, Ibrahim committed great excesses and cruelties.

In 1831, Mahommed Ali's ambition led him to the conquest of Syria, and he sent Ibrahim into that country with an army of 24,000 infantry, four regiments of cavalry, and 40 pieces of artillery. In this expedition, Ibrahim, with the assistance of Soliman Pasha, a Frenchman whose real name was Colonel Selves, displayed much military talent; Gaza, Jaffa, and Caiffa soon fell into his hands, and Acre, which had resisted Napoleon, opened its gates to him on the 27th of May, 1832, after a siege of six months. The Sultan sent strong reinforcements of troops against Ibrahim Pasha, but the Pasha invariably overcame them, and on the 22d Dec. 1832, he destroyed at Koniah with 30,000 men a fresh Turkish army of 60,000 troops commanded by Reshid Pasha, who was made prisoner.

The victory of Koniah opened the way to Constantinople, and Ibrahim had already advanced as far as Kutayeh, about 150 miles from the capital, when the Sultan called to his aid an army of 20,000 GENT. MAO. VOL. XXXI.

Russian troops, who marched to Constantinople. Ibrahim's conquests were therefore confined to Syria, of which he kept possession until 1839, and where he established his father's rule with singular success, and organised that country in a very admirable manner. In 1839 the Sublime Porte attempted to regain possession of Syria, and sent against Ibrahim a strong army, which was, however, quite discomfited by the Egyptian troops, at the battle of Nezib, on the 24th of June of that year.

Ibrahim Pasha at this period had a second opportunity of marching to Constantinople, but the European Powers interfered a second time, and stopped his progress.

The four Powers of England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia then combined to restore Syria to the Sublime Porte; a fleet was sent to occupy the towns on the coast; Ibrahim resisted, but the bombardment and occupation of the fortress of Acre on the 3d Nov. 1839, in the very short space of four hours, soon convinced Ibrahim Pasha and his father that their best policy was to submit to the decrees of the four Powers, and obtain the best terms they could from the Sultan.

After the evacuation of Syria, Ibrahim led a very quiet and retired life; he devoted his whole attention to agriculture, and introduced many improvements in the cultivation of the land. He always showed the greatest respect for his father, and, though enjoying the high titles of Vizier and Governor of Mecca, and covered with military glory, he always kissed Mahommed Ali's hands in token of submission, and never seated himself or smoked in his presence without leave.

In consequence of Mahommed Ali's incapacity, from dotage, to govern the country, Ibrahim was nominated by the Sultan Viceroy in his stead on the 1st of September last, and therefore held supreme power in Egypt only during the brief space of two months and ten days.

For many years Ibrahim suffered acutely from a complication of complaints, brought on principally by excesses committed during his youth, and in 1846 he went to Europe for the purpose of consulting the most eminent physicians there, and on that occasion he also visited England; but the only result was a temporary relief to his sufferings, for he continued to be more or less disordered, and he finally sank under the combined effects of bronchitis and an abscess in his lungs. M

Ibrahim Pasha had not the pleasing manners nor the politeness which so highly distinguished his father; he was naturally serious, his voice was strong, and he was remarkable for his forced laugh; he never liked display, and was of a penurious and selfish disposition. His education was similar to what is generally given to Oriental princes: he spoke Turkish, Arabic, and Persian, which he also wrote with facility, and he employed several hours of the day in reading books on history, of which he was very fond; he knew no European language, but he regularly had the newspapers translated to him.

The following description of him was written in 1833:-" The Pasha of the Holy Cities is a great voluptuary; his indulgence, indeed, in every species of sensuality is unbounded. Although scarcely in the prime of life, his gross and immense bulk promises but a short term of existence, and indicates a man sinking under overwhelming disease, and incapable of exertion. His habits are sumptuous; he delights in magnificent palaces and fanciful gardens, and is curious in the number and beauty of his Circassians; but his manners are perfectly European. He is constantly in public, and courts the conversation of all ingenious strangers. His chief councillor is Osman Bey, a renegade Frenchman, and an able man.'

Ibrahim Pasha has left only three sons living: Ahmed Bey, born in 1825,-Ishmael Bey, born in 1830,-both pursuing their studies in Paris; and Mustapha Bey, born in 1832, at present in Cairo.

Abbas Pasha, his nephew, succeeds him in the Pashalic of Egypt, according to the firman granted by the Sultan in June 1841, at the close of the Syrian war, by which the succession to the government of Egypt is to descend in a direct line in Mahommed Ali's male posterity, from the elder to the elder among his sons and grandsons.

Ibrahim Pasha was buried with military honours, but with little ceremony, on the day of his death, in Mahommed Ali's family tomb, in the vicinity of Cairo.

In 1815 he acted as Civil Commissioner during the occupation of the Legations by Murat, and was in consequence proscribed. He escaped to Geneva, where the rights of a citizen were conferred upon him in time to rescue him from the persecution of the Austrian Government. He occupied for nearly twenty years the chair of Roman Law in the Academy of Geneva, the honoured colleague of those six men who have very recently been ejected from their respective professorships in the same Academy by the present Radical Government of that Republic; so that of these men so long engaged in scientific or lite. rary pursuits in the peaceful obscurity of a Swiss canton, all have suffered for the cause of constitutional freedom, and the greatest has now laid down his life.

In Switzerland M. Rossi was the principal author of the scheme for the reform of the Federal Pact, which was intended to effect by pacific means a change in favour of the Federal authority somewhat analogous to that which has resulted from the late civil war. At that time, however, M. Rossi's scheme was defeated; and, wearied with the minute and untractable elements of Swiss politics, he was induced by M. Guizot to remove to Paris. A chair of constitutional law was at once placed at his disposal, and upon his naturalization in France he rose to fill several important offices, and was eventually called to the Chamber of Peers. Although he never held a ministerial office in France, he lived in the closest intimacy with the Government, and enjoyed the unreserved confidence of the King.

This circumstance caused him to be selected for the important post of French Ambassador at Rome, and after an absence of thirty years he returned to his native country as the plenipotentiary of a foreign Sovereign. In that capacity he probably contributed in a remarkable degree to place Pio Nono on the Papal throne.

M. Rossi was assassinated on the 15th of November, at 1 o'clock, as he was alighting from his carriage to enter the Chamber of Deputies. He was stabbed in the neck, and died instantly. Some gendarmes and national guards who were on the spot allowed the assassin full liberty to escape. The population remained cold and silent in the presence of this event. The Assembly, on the steps of which the murder was committed, continued to read its minutes gravely, without making the slighest mention of the incident during its sitting. In the afternoon the murderers and their adherents, to the number of some hundreds, with colours at their head, fraternised with the soldiers in the bar

racks, but the authorities showed themselves nowhere. The Director of Police, being requested to take some energetic measures, refused and retired. The entire Ministry resigned the next morning.

On the following day the same fate awaited

MONSIGNOR Palma,

the Pope's Secretary.

This distinguished ecclesiastic, who was in his 56th year, had been in youth an intimate friend of his Holiness. He was for upwards of 20 years under-secretary of Propaganda, and as such acquired a complete acquaintance with the ecclesiastical affairs of every part of the world. He had, moreover, occupied the chair of Ecclesiastical History in the Roman Seminary, the College of Propaganda, and latterly in the University of Sapienza. His published lectures on that portion of sacred literature had conferred on him additional celebrity throughout Italy. He had, moreover, been often employed in great and delicate matters of ecclesiastical interest. It was he who drew up the masterly statement which the Holy See put forth a few years ago on the treatment of the Catholic Church by the Emperor of Russia. The present Pope named him a Canon of the Patriarchal Basilica of St. John Lateran, and appointed him his "Secretary for Latin Letters." Attached to this office is a residence, connected with the Quirinal palace by a long gallery. It is situated, in fact, near the Quattro Fontane, and at a considerable distance-a street's length-from the Papal apartments, and consequently remote from the scene of the riots of the 16th, but near the quarters of the Swiss Guard. Monsignor Palma was walking up and down in his own rooms, opposite to which is the church of San Carlino, belonging to Spanish religious. Its tower, however, had been seized, apparently by the insurgents, and a ball from this reached his apartment, and entering below the neck, penetrated downwards into the chest, and was instantly fatal. There was no one in Rome less suspected to have been the object of a deliberate stroke; for, in addition to his other qualities, Monsignor Palma was distinguished, and deservedly popular, for his devotion to the cause of the poor, among whom he laboured incessantly in discharge of his religious duties. He was a man who could not have ever had an enemy, and was the bosom friend, companion, and associate of the Abbate Graziosi, whose funeral all Rome attended last year, as a tribute of affectionate respect. The fate of Rossi and Palma proves the unfitness of such a race for constitutional government. They crouch to a tyrant, and

rise against an enlightened and benevolent ruler.

VISCOUNT Melbourne.

Nov. 24. At Melbourne House, Derbyshire, in his 70th year, the Right Hon. William Lamb, second Viscount Melbourne (1770), and Baron Melbourne of Kilmore, co. Cavan (1781), in the peerage of Ireland; 2d Baron Melbourne, of Melbourne, co. Derby (1815), in the peerage of the United Kingdom; the 3d Baronet (1755); a Privy Councillor, a Commissioner of Exchequer Loans, an Elder Brother of the Trinity House, and a Governor of the Charter House; formerly Prime Minister to King William IV. and Queen Victoria.

Lord Melbourne was born at Melbourne House, Whitehall, on the 15th March, 1779, the second son of Peniston first Viscount Melbourne, by Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Ralph Milbanke, Bart. His university education he received, first, at Trinity college, Cambridge, and, secondly, at Glasgow, where he studied jurisprudence and politics in the class of an eminent teacher, Professor Millar. In a debating society attached to the class Mr. W. Lamb was distinguished amongst his contemporaries for historical knowledge, considerable clássical attainments, strong common sense, and great pleasantry. At that period of his life, like most young men brought up amongst the Whigs, he was a prodigious admirer of Mr. Fox, and an acknowledged disciple of his political school. return Mr. Fox warmly patronized Mr. W. Lamb even before he left Cambridge.* He entered as a student at Lincoln's-inn on the 21st July, 1797, and was called to

In

* In his speech in the House of Commons on the death of the Duke of Bedford, delivered March 16, 1803, Mr. Fox thus closed his eulogy: "I will conclude with applying to the present occasion a beautiful passage from the speech of a very young orator. It may be thought, perhaps, to savour too much of the sanguine views of youth to stand the test of a rigid philosophical inquiry: but it is at least cheering and consolatory, and that in this instance it may be exemplified, is, I am confident, the sincere wish of every man who hears me. Crime (says he) is a curse only to the period in which it is successful: but Virtue, whether fortunate or otherwise, blesses not only its own age, but remotest posterity, and is as beneficial by its example as by its immediate effects."" was a quotation from the Hon. William Lamb's "Essay on the Progressive Improvement of Mankind," delivered in Trinity college chapel, Dec. 17, 1798.

This
