MISCELLANEOtS,
From the Troy Budget.
MAHOMMED A LI — Viceroy of Egypt.
The following notice of the present Viceroy
£>f Egypt, Mahommcd Aii, is taken from the
most authentic sources. No full account of his
life having been published in this country, the
following cursory review of his extraordinary
career tnav not he uninteresting to the public.
The present Viceroy of Egypt, Mahomrned
Aii, is a native of Cavalla, a small town in Ro
melia, a district of Albania. He was born in
the year 1757. In early life he lost his father,
and was placed under the protection of the go
vernor, hy whom he was educated in that spe
cks of training which qualifies a man to rise in
a despotic government. He was first appointed
a collector of taxes, in which office he was ob
served to set a higher value on the money, than
on the blood of the unhappy peasantry over
whom his-jurisdiction extended. Not long after
he obtaine 1 the rank of Buuloukbashi, and mar
ried a relation of the governor.
On the invasion of Egypt by the French, he
was called to fulfil a higher des'iny, in a more
active scene. The contingent of three hun
dred men, raised by the township of Cavalla,
was placed ufi ler the command of Aii, who was
r>fw recognized as Binbashi, or captain of re
gular troops. After the massacre of the Mame
lukes at Aboukir, he obtained the command of a
division in the army of Yousef Bey, and joined
the expedition against the insurgent chiefs,
which terminate Iso fatally to the Burks. He
was accused hy \ ousel as the cause of the de
feat, and at his instigation, Rusrouf, the Gover
nor of Cairo, resolved to expel Aii from the coun
try. But the voung Albanian taking advan
tage of a disaffection of the troops, in conse
quence of their pay being in arrear, demanded
the payment of the troops, as the only condi
tion on which he would yield obedience. Io a
void the danger Rusrouf admitted into Cairo the
Albanian corps under Taber Pasha, hoping that
the intrigues of one chief uoild counteract
those of the other. But in this he was disap
pointed, for upon whatever other point the Al
banians might differ, u;>on this they were per
fectly a-r re.-d, and the consequence was, they
attacked and drove Rusrouf from the city, and
deposited the Viceregal power in the hands of
Taber Pasha.
The tyranny of this new infer brought his
reign to a sadden close, and the actual govern
ment was placed in the hands ol Ibrahim, Os
man Bardissy, and Mahomm d Aii.
The undisputed power of the Mamelukes be
ing likely to prove fatal to Aii, be contrived to
embroil Osman with his asssociates, and then at
tacking him with his own hand, contrived to re
instate an exiled Pacha, whom the Sultan had
sent to take command —and whom he intended
to use merely as a to.d for his ambitious pur
poses. The Grand Seignior suspecting his am
bitious views, in the year 1804, ordered him and
his Albanians to return home. Mahomrned dis
regarded the mandate, and intimated that his
services were longer needed. On the following
year he was appointed Pasha Djidda and of the
port of Mecca, on the eastern shore of the Red
Sea.—Upon this, a scene of insubordination en
sued, and the army threatened immediate vio.
fence if their arrears were not paid. Mahom
med alone could rule the disturbed elements in
this furious tempest. He was entreated to take
upon him the duties of iceroy. The wily Al
banian seemed amazed at this proposal, and af
ter a feigned hesitation, yielded and was imme
diately invested with the insignia of office.
He soon after succeeded Rouschid Pacha, and
the citadel of Alexandria was placed in his
hands. The Mamelukes still continuing to be
troublesome, he contrived a snare which cost
them nearly two hundred of their best men.
Eighty three heads were sent to Constantinople
to grace the walls of the Seraglio. Falling a
gain under the suspicions of the Grand Seignior,
furious attempts were made to deprive him of j
his pewer, but in vain ; lie was too well versed
In the arts of war and of peace, to suffer him
self to be deceived by the specious offers oi the
emissary of the Sultan. At length the Sultan
seeing how affairs stood, made the best ct his
ambitions subject, by leaving him in possession
of the Viceroyalty. Soon after he advanced
into Upper Egypt, where he defeated a large
body of Mamelukes.
In the year 1307, hostilities having commen
ced between Great Britain and the Ottoman em.
pire, Gen. Fraser, with 5000 troops, was sent to
occupy Egypt, with a view of preventing the
country from falling into the hands of the French.
The fate of this bo Iv of troops is well known.
Four hundred an i fifty of their heads were pub- 1
licly exposed at Cano, an 1 the unfortunate cap
tives were treated with every species of contempt
and cruelty.
After the departure of the British, the affairs
of Egypt being in a deranged condition, he felt
that his popularity was endangered. Fearing
the Mamelukes, he resolved upon their final des
truction at whatever expense of candor and hu
manity. This horrible determination was con
firmed by the necessity of carrying on a war a
gainst the Wahabees in Africa. The Porte had
urged him to prepare for this expedition, so irn
portant to the purity of the faith and to the inte
grity of the empire, rewarding him beforehand,
by conferring upon his favorite son, Foussoun,
the dignity of a Pacha of the second order.
On the first day of March, 1811, was com
mitted an act of treachery, unprecedented in anv
age or country. On this day, the investure of
of the new chief was to take place—a ceremony
which was to be performed in the citadel. The
Mamelukes were invited to share in the parade
and festivities of the occasion, and accordingly,
under the command of Chahyn Bey, and array
ed in their most splendid uniforms, they appear
ed at the half of audience, and unsuspectingly ts
sered the Pacha their hearty congratulations.
Mahomrned received them with the greatest af
fability, and presented them with coffee and otl -
er refreshments—which is among Turks a pledg.;
of friendship, safety and protection. The Mam
elukes were ordered to march along a narrow
defile leading to the citadel, being preceded by
the body guard of Mahomrned Aii. As soon as
they had passed the gate it was shut behind
them, while the opposite end of the defile being
closed, they were caught as it were in a trap.
Mahommed’s soldiers from the top of the rocks,
secured from the aim of the Mamelukes, poured
down volleys of shot upon their victims, who
were butchered almost to the last man. The
lifeless body of the brave Chahyn, was exposed
to every infamy. The streets bore the appear
ance of a place taken by assault. Mahomrned
noted among the slain four hundred and seventy
mounted Mamelukes, besides their attendants.
The number of victims in the end did not fall
short of one thousand. There can be no apolo
gy offered for this act of deliberate, cold-heart
cd treachery,and Mahomrned bears still upon his
brow, the brand of a murderer.
The Egyptian army under Foussou, failing
in their object, Mahomrned soon after assumed
the command, and defeated the Wahabees.
On the 4th day of August, 1815, all the troops
in Cairo broke into open mutiny and revolt, and
after committing various excesses, they submit
ted upon the amnesty proclaimed by Mahomrned.
Although the leaders of the revolt could not be
discovered, it was afterwards remarked that se
veral Beys died very suddenly, having most
probably fallen under the suspicions of ihe Vice
roy. After this event, he sent his son Ibrahim
to check the incursions of a large body of Ara
bians upon the Egyptian frontiers, who com
pletely routed them—which triumph was rather
owing to the sudden death of Sehood, the Ara
bian Chief.
In 1820 he ordered an expedition to be fitted
out in order to subdue the native’s of Dongola
aid Lennar. Under the command of his son
Ibrahim, he completely succeeded, but this con
quest of these harmless nations was accompa
nied with extreme cruelty towards the natives.
For the last ten years Mahomrned has been en
g iged in disciplining his troops in the European
manner, and more than once it has nearly cost
him his life. His attention to the army and na
vy has been unremitting. In Greece their val
or and discipline was proved, Although they
wore in the end defeated. At the battle of
Navarino, the naval discipline succeeded better
than was expected. The preparations of Ma
hoaimed for some years back, has evinced
something more than a desire to protect his pro-,
vince. Anv one who has the curiosity to fol
low out the Viceroy in his great efforts in in
creasing his army, and the resources of his em
pire, must say that the declaration of war
against the Sultan was no sudden movement. —
It has been the preparation of years. On April
Ist, 1832, war was commenced between Tur
kev and Egypt. On the 12th, Hussein Pacha
took command of the Ottoman army, against
Ibrahim, the son of Mahomrned. On the 27th
of May, St. Jean d’Acre surrendered lo the vic
torious arms of Mahomrned. Damascus soon
followed, and since the fall of that fortress, (St.
Jean d’Acre) the success of the arms of the
Egyptians has been increasing, and they are
now within a f \v days march of Const intinople.
Mahomrned is now about 63 years of age, ra
ther short in stature, with a high forehead and
aquiline nose, and altogether prepossessing, an
expression of countenance which shows him to
be no ordinary man. His dress is usually very
plain—and the only expense he allovvs himself
to fall into, is lavished upon his arms, some of
which are studded with diamonds.
No oilc has attempted to conceal that there is
in the temper of Mahomrned Aii, with a few good
qualities, a deep tincture of barbarism and
fierceness. And in moments of passion, there
is hardly anv cruelty he will not perpetrate or
command. The Pacha seems to be one of those
persons who by an extraordinary combination
of circumstances, has attained his present emi
nence, and whose success seems to be rather the
result of fortune, than any innate greatness. —
Still it must be confessed, that he has much im
proved his Province, by introducing the arts of
civilized life, and by educating the children of
the chiefs. He has two sons, Ibrahim, the son
of his wife, who now commands the army in
Svria, and the Defturder, who is his son-in-law
bv marriage. The former is very friendly to
the improvement now making in Egypt under
the direction of foreigners, the latter views them
with the eve of a bigotted Mussulman.
The present war that Mahommcd has under
taken against the Sultan, may not, in the end.
prove as successful as he has anticipated —and
unless his son possesses the genius and address
of Napoleon, he will not be able to extricate him
self from his present situation. In the heart
of the Sultan’s territory—and hemmed in on all
sides, he may meet with the same fate as did his
brother Ishmael. But the contest will soon be
decided, and Mahmoud or Mahomrned will bear
undisputed rule over Turkey. E. P. P.
CURIOUS EXPERIMENT OF A RAT
TLE SNAKE. •
The following curious sac‘s respecting the
rattle snake, are from a letter of Judge Samuel
Woodruff, to Professor Silliman, in the last
number of the American Journal of Science.
During the summer months of 1801, I resi
ded in the north-eastern part of the stale of
Ohio. Rattle-snakes were then very numerous
in that region. I found the opinion univer
sally prevalent among the inhabitants there, that
the leaves of the white ash were highly often
. sive to the rattle-snake. Several persons c
i respectability assured me that the rattle snak
was never found on land where the white asl
grows, that it was the uniform practice amonj
, hunters, as well as others, whose business le<
, them to traverse the woods in the summe
month's, to stud'their shoes and boots, and fre
• quently their pockets also, with white ash leave:
as a preventive of the bite of the rattle-snake
and that they had never known or heard of an\
person being bitten who had used this ’precau
tion.
Sometime in the mon’h of August, I weir
with Mr. T. Kirtland, and Dr. C. Dutton, then
residing at Portland, to the Mahoning, for the
purpose of shooting deer, at a place where thej
were in the habit of coming into the river, tc
feed on the moss attached to the stones in the
shoal w'ater. We took our watch station on an
elevated part of the bank, fifteen or twenty
yards from the edge of the water. About an
hour after we commenced our watch, instead of
a deer, we discovered a large rattle snake,
which, as it appeared, had left his den, in the
rocks beneath us, and was slowly advancing
across a smooth, narrow sand beach towards the
water. Upon hearing our voices, or from some
other cause, he stopped find lay stretched out
with his head near the water. It occurred to
me that an opportunity now offered to try the
virtues of the white ash leaves. Requesting
the gentleVnen to keep, in my absence, a watch
over our object, I went immediately in search of
the leaves, and on a piece of low ground thirty
or forty rods back from the river, I soon found,
and by the aid of my hunting knife, procured a
small white ash sapling, eight or ten feet in
length, and with a view to make the experiment
more satisfactory, I cut another sapling of the
sugar maple, and with these wands returned to
the scene of action.
In order to cut off a retreat to his den, I ap
proached the snake in his rear. As soon as I
came within about seven or eight feet of him,
he quickly threw his body into a coil, elevated
his head eight dr ten inches, and brandishing his
tongue, “ gave note of preparation” for com.
bat. I first presented him the white ash, pla
cing the leaves upon his body. He instantly
dropped his head to the ground, unfolded his coil,
rolled over upon his back, writhed and twisted
his whole body into every form but that of n,
coil, and appearing to bo in great anguish.
Satisfied with "the trial thus fir made, 1 laid
by the white ash. The rattle snake immediate
ly righted, and placed himself in the same me
nacing attitude as before descril el. I now pre
sented him the sugar maple. He lanced in a
moment, striking his head into a tuft of the
leaves, “with all the malice of the under fiends,”
and the next moment coiled and lanced again, j
darting his whole lenth at each effort with ‘tho
swiftness of an arrow. After repeating this se
veral times, I again changed his fare, and pre
sented him the white ash. He immediately
doused his peak, stretched himself out on his
back, and writhed his body in the same manner
as at the first application. It was then propo
sed to try what effeqt might be produced on his i
temper and courage by a little flogging with the
white ash. This was administered. But in
stead of arousing him to resentment, it served
only to increase his troubles. As the flogging
grew more severe, the snake frequency stuck
his heAd into the sand as far as he could thrust
it, seeming desirous to bore his way info the
earth, and rid himself of his unwelcome visitor.
Being now convinced that the experiment
was a satisfactory one, and fairly conducted,on
both sides, we deemed it ungenerous to take his
life after he contributed so much to gratify our
curiosity ; and so we took our leave of the rattle
snake, with feelings as friendly at least as those
with which we commenced our acquaintance
with him, and left him to return at leisure to his
den.

of TO THE PEBEIC.
:e 7 HAHE controversy between the City, and the Trus
-M. tees of the Academy, having one of some
interest to the citizens, the’City Council have deemed it
- advisable to give this short notice to the public, of their
:( ' reasons for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which
;r called for it.
j. The City Council have been advised and believed,
, s that when Augusta was laid out and planned by the pro
prietory government, the common was defined and ap
■'*. pended to the town, for the common benefit of the lot
V holders, and citizens, as the word “ town common,” itself
I, seems to import.
That being thus appropriated to the public, or com
mon use of the citizens, this right has never been taken
from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them
selves. Nor has any act been passed interfering with
e the right of common in the citizens, except at their own
y request, or for their supposed benefit.
’ That the power to lease given to the trustees, was to
lease for seven years, and has long since expired, and,
e being then given to promote the health of the city, at the
a request of the citizens, should not now be exercised,
v when experience has shewn that the enclosure would
.j most probably be injurious to the health of the city, and
, is therefore opposed to the wishes of the citizens.
‘ That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights
, of the citizens by paying for a few years for their own
i property, in ignorance or neglect of the rights of the
T citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate.
’ That this neglect is less extraordinary than the un
warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the tras
} tees, when in fact they never were appointed any thing
t more than the mere agents of the state to lease,
j That the trustees are themselves conscious that they
have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man
itested by the desperate step recently takqn by them, of
1 causing the common to be run out as vacant land, under
I the law securing head rights.
~ The City Council acting only as the guardians ofthe
rights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opera
tion in the maintainance of their rights.

PROPOSALS
FOB ENLARGING AND IMPROVING THE
SOUTHERN BANNER,
A Paper now published Weekly in Athens, Geo.
THE rapid increase of population, wealth and Intel
ligence ot Western Georgia, have prompted the
Editors of the “ Southern Banner,” in order to keep
pace with the improvement of the times—to lay before
tiieir triends and patrons, the following proposals :
They intend about the first of February next, to publish
the “ Banner” on a large imperial sheet—not inferior in
size or style of execution, to any now published in the
State —for the accomplishment of which purpose, they
have ordered from New-York an entire new’set of mate
rials.
The Editors deem it unnecessary at this late day, to
enter into a minute detail of their political creed—they
would deem it but a work of supererogation. Suffice it
to say, their best efforts will always be directed (by dis
seminating correct principles, religious, moral and
political) to the advancement of the interest, honor and
happiness ofthe people—particularly that portion of
them comprising the Western and North W estern sec
tion of the State; and to whom they mainly look for pat
ronage and support.
The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but
not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that
must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements
contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in the
hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that
support and encouragement, upon which they alone
must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an un
dertdking so responsible.
TERMS.
The price of subscription will be the same as here
tofore—viz : §3,00 per annum in advance, or §4,00 if
payment is delayed until after the year expires.
As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves
for us, we effer to give a'copy of the Banner for every
ten responsible names forwarded by any one individual.
Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editprs, or to
Albon Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention.

OF THE
Herald of the Region.
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,.
To be published at Lumpkin Court. House, Georgia.
By Albon Chase & Co.
THE recent organization, and the rapid settlement
and improvements now going on in that interesting
portion of the territory of Georgia, known as the Chero
kee Country, seem to require that an additional vehicle
of public intelligence should be added to the number al
ready located in different parts of our State. For that
purpose js this.harbinger of the forthcoming “ Herald”
presented'.
Its objects will be to furnish to the community in which
we reside, the usual newspaper intelligence, and to its
patrons in other sections of the Union more remote, such
information in relation to the mineral wealth, ordinary
productions of the soil, and natural curiosities, with which
this section of the country eminently abounds, as will be
both interesting and Instructive. Its location in by far
the richest part of the Gold Region, and where nature
has signally blended the romantic with the sublime, will
give it advantages for the accomplishment of these ob
jects, to which but few’ can lay claim.
The fimited space w’hich may be devoted to politics,
will be occupied in disseminating what we believe to be
the oldßepublican doctrines of the Jeffersonian school. In
this we shall endeavor to he liberal and temperate. —Well
written essays upon all sides of this subject, when they
do not interfere with the private character of individuals,
shall find a place in our columns ; as will also those of a
literary, scientific and miscellaneous description.
With ibis very brief exposition of our design, we shall
submit our work to the public. Upon their decision will
depend its long continuance, and its final success.
The first number of the “ Herald ofthe Gold Region,”
will be issued on or about the 19th of March next, on a
Super-royal Sheet, and will be printed with new type.
The price of subscription will be §3,00 per annum in
advance, or §4,00 at the end of. the year. Os those who
reside out of the State, payment will in all cases be re
quired in advance.
Advertisements inserted at the customary prices.
O’ Holders of subscription papers will please return
them, directed to Lumpkin Court House, Lumpkin Coun
ty, Georgia, previous to the time fixed Upon for com
mencing the publication.

PROSPECTUS
t r FOR PUBLISHING, BY SUBSCRIPTION,
jj IX CHEROKEE COLXTY,
, .4 weekly Newspaper to be entitled the
CHEROKEE INTELLIGENCER,
TO EE CONDUCTED By HOWELL COBB.
ON presenting to the people this prospectus, the Edi
tor deems it superfluous to say one word with re
gard to the utility of newspapers. There are, wever,
particularly at this time, other duties that m not be
avoided so easily. In entering the political arena, we
may not conceal our sentiments ; for we conceive it our
duty, to our friends and opponents, friendly to avow
them. The State Rights’ Doctrines as contended for
B by the best expounders of the Constitution, are those
P we avow; we hold that each state has reserved to her*
e self, all and every right, not surrendered up and enum.
crated m the Constitution of the United States ; that
1 they may, nay should, and have reserved for the vary
1 purpose, those rights, that whenever occasion requires,
; they may be exercised ; but the states should be care*
f ful, in the exercise of what are called and supposed te
be reserved rights, those surrendered up arc not viola*
ted : for they are no more the rights of the states than if
, they {tad never been exercised by them. The General
r Government too, must move within its legitimate sphere,
t carefully observing what powers it may exercise— what
are reserved to the respective sovereignties and what
| have not been granted. While here, we remark that
we are uncompromisingX T nion men, and feel and consider
f ourselves identified with all those that now rally under
the standard of the twenty-four states, whatever minor
distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us.
As respects the parties in Georgia, too, we have a
word to say.—We have acted with perfect satisfaction
to ourselves, with the Republican party. The spirit
of that party will be carried into our labours ; but we
wish it understood that we have not,, and cannot
now consent, to advance our party views and pros,
pects by contending against those of our opponents;
we offer to our opponents the free use of our columns,
if they are properly used.
It is useless to say any thing of the interesting coun.
try, in which the Intelligencer will be located— the
farmer is invited there by its fertile lands—the un
healthy, by its waters and air—the chymist by the
valuable treasure found in its bosom.
The earliest attention and notice will be given of all
new discoveries of gold mines or other valuable curiosi
ties «m.
The Editor will practice Law in the counties of Che*
rokee, Cass, Forsyth, Lumpkin and Floyd, and will be
thankful for any business committed to his attention in
those counties.
All letters and communications to the Editor, relating
to the Office, or other business, must be postpaid to en.
title them to notice: this rule will be firmly adhered to.
All communications intended for publication must be
accompanied by a responsible and respectable name.
Nothing of a persona,! character, either in the form of
a communication or advertisement, will, in any instance,
be permitted to appear in our columns.
Our subscription will be three dollars each year, w.hen
paid in advance, or four dollars at the endof the year.
Advertising and Job Work solicited and executed
with neatness and despatch.
A synopsis of all the sheriffs’sales will be published
in Augusta, Milledgeville and Macon, at the expense of
the proprietor. .
The paper may be expected to appqar by the 20th of
'February. ,
! . Our correspondents will direct their communication*
to Cherokee Court House.
