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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Editors in Georgia are requested to publish the a bove.
