(From the London Saturday Review.], "Some person*.** said Madame Andouhrd In her preface, "affirm that the torch of civilisa tion has. been kindled in Egypt; that the vountrv Is making rapid progress, while tho other provinces of Turkey remain stationary. It is affirmed thatw present Viceroy, edu catod In Paris, devotes himself to eradicating whatever of barbarism lingers in the country, and that he has replaced the caairices of.d*"!*",: iam by a wise Snd enlightened liberty. Fifteen months of inquiryrxm the spot BUVU led Madame Andouard to a «ttffereut conclu sion. The present voUrme embodiesitte data on which her conclusion rests and itb\»a profusion of example- J****** stories of Mohammed Alis family afe wort ay of the grimest personages in The Thousand and One Nights, and eboutw valuable In an htetoßhteJ poiutof view. TB)e Pachas daugh ter the prin. e?» Nesle-Haneti. was a second Ilartrnerite de Bnrgoyne. She was married i a Turkish commissioner, a movister of uelty. .» One day Mohammed AU hinted to his tngttter that ho never felt quite at ease with cr husband. That evening the Bey'scoßbe as presented to him by the Princess, his wife. o_*e does not always agree with the rela ti\esof BBBtem poteatataßj and Neele-Hanen sought to solace her widowhood b.v a sy*toi% atic course of intrigues. Her emissaries fre i) muted the cairn, when a candidate for in troduction had iM-en found, he was desired to present himself at a certain gate of the palace :it a certain hour. There he was received by an eunuch of tho harem ; his eyes SBBMhaBBf* aged ami ho was conducted to the presence.— For a week Nesle-Hanon was tho most amia ble hostess. On the eighth day, "My husband is coming home,'' she would say; "we must . part ; but when he is again absent I shall take caro that you return.'' The visitor's eyes ' were again bandaged. When the Princess was residing at lwr palace on the Nile he was con tluctud to a door opening-on the ri\er, and sped forward wijh a geutle push. At another of the royal s*>ats the Khalig canal took tho place of dhe Nile. At the palace In the Mos kee tho same useful odice was performed by a Thesw 1 frequent disappearances at last began to be walked of, and a young I:allan determined to break the spell. He went assiduously to the cafe where the ominous invitations were known tp be dispensed. One evening a eunuch of the harem seated himself near the young stranger nnd tiognh to smoke. •« I know a fair young lady who is not indifferent to you," he 1 egan,' "and if you wish, I can manage the mi i rod ml ion." "I shall he delighted, if she is so good looking,"' replied the Italian ; "only I rant come this evening. Will you take me to morrow V " Yes: tie at the door about seven o'clock, and \n hen 1 post*, follow without speak- Next day the young man kept his appoint ment. He bod nut. long to wait, and when he bad followed his guide into a lonely street, he submitted to his eyes being bandaged. After a long walk tbey entered a house and ascended a Maircase. Tbe bandage was removed from bis eyvs in a brilliantly-lighted room, richly lurnished in the Eastern stylo, A lady, neither young nor beautiful, but admirably dressed, reclined on a divan, playing with a chaplet of coral and diamonds: a slave fanned her with v hunch of ostrich leathers. The Italian re ceived a sign to approach and scut himself on a cushion at her feet. The lady's conversation was enchanting, and With a hostess who did j the honors so graciously a week passed away. ' At the end of that time, "We must part, my beloved," she said, "my husband is about to return; we should be lost." "Madame," re- '- plied her guest, "I trust that your husband lias no intention of returning, inasmuch as you are the Pkinaess Nusle-Hnnen, and have been a widow, for some years." The lady made a ! slight negative gesture. " Beßßve me, Madam," he continued, "I, know who yon are, and I know also the fate JhaL waited me if I bad not taken my precau tions. Your domestics would conduct me to a j fcinall door oiteningon the Nile, and assist me with a slight push." " And pray. Monsieur, what precautions have you inkt_?" " Mon Men! Madam, they are simple. Instead of following your emissary at once. J arranged to come the next day. Meanwhile 1 had an inter view with my consul. When your retainer came to seek me, two steps from us was a per son from the consulate. Ho followed us; he! therefore knows that lam here. Mv consul i« , accordingly forewarned. II to-day ho does not j «sceio.-«i«rain, be will know that I have suffered j ihe doom of your lovers. He wiU oddress him- I self to his Highness tho Viceroy. Yon per- j eeive the snanttsf that must ensue. Rumor suspects you of numerous crimes. Suspicion j will then give place to certainty." The Pf\n cess was thunderstruck. Recovering a j she implored him to be discreet: Tne ivu-iliitn took bis leave, and arrived without accident { in the street. Where he found a " cav,i«_"- from j the •consulate awaiting him aq'4'.alre.ady un- j easy.
