KING THEODORE.
To 1855, after sundry wars with hostile tribes,
the present Kiug was huiled by the whole people of
Abyssinia as the Emperor Theodore, and was
crowned under that title by the Bishop of Salarna.
Theodore is described as aman of 40 years of
age, of average stature, of imposing carriage, and)
ot wa irregular but impressive physiognomy, =
Jook is sharp aud piercing. The changes and rever-
ses of his fortunes in war, in which he was seldem

triarch three days, then let him out, begged his par-
doo, and told him to take himself as fast as he
could. The Viceroy atterwards despatched the Bey
Abd-ul-Rahman with some nunicrous presenis and
revewed proposuls, The Bey was kept three years
ju Abyssivia, moat of the time in prison and
chained. Ou his way home, afier the close of this
interesting episodo, he was robbed naked. On ano-
ther occassiou the Naib of Argabo paid Theodore a

hands of a Tigre chief, and several weeks intervened
before he could proeged on his journey. The letter
finally reached London about the middle of February

Mr. Cameron appears to have siogularly misinter-
his instructions, coutained in Earl Russell's memo-!

abstinence from auy course of proceeding by which
a prefereuce for either party should be imputablo to

ings which may tend to alter the state of possession

ry.
It is related that the new consul proceeded, on the
strength of this, into the iaterior again, and active-
ly endeavored to bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the Emperor and certain rebellious chiefs.
Failing in this attompt, he is said to have impru-
dently denounced the Emperor as a murderer, aud
to have paid, onhis own responsibility, a visit to
Theodoreâs enemies, the Turks. â+ Ip fact, he in-
terposed in dangerous broilsâ and provoked the
alarm and jealousy of the Emperor.â The latter
became, moreover, very mach incensed at not receiv-|

CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT AND IHEODORE,
âBut the worst trials of Europeans in Abyssinia
were to come, and the succeeding outrages, descri-
bed below, are those that called for the interference
of the British Goverumeut. It appears from the
account before us that the first dealings of that Ge-
vernment with the rulers of Abyssinia were just prior
19 1848, in which year, under the authority of Lord
Palmerston, a consulate was established at Muaso-
wal. Mr. Plowdeo was the penileman selected for
the post; and he succeeded in couclading a treaty
of peace with Rus All, Misister ot the poteatate of
the hour, King Juha. Whenthe Emperor Theodore
came tothe throue, ha vaturally disavowed; or ra-
ther quietly ignored, this precious compact, Mr.
Plowden finally wrote to anuouace the useleasness
of his commission, and the insurmountable obstacles
he saw to the establishment of commercial relations
with a natioo of pluoderers and freeboters,
â4â* A white man,â he wrote, âis considered fair
hooty, to de feeced aveordiug to the extent of his
ignorance or liis fears.â But, sinauitaneausly, Mr.

{ By-avd-bye,!
Mr. Piowden, whilo travelling in the intocier, was)
his servants beaten nearly to death, avd had him im-
prisoned. Mr. Roenthal, another missionary, was
imprisoned soon afterwards. Subsequently, Consul)
Cameron and all Europeeos in Abyssinia shared the
same fate, with the exception of some missionaries
from Basle. This was late in 1863. In 1864, the
British Goverument, hearing of these violent acta,
sent a special mission in charge of Mr, Raeson to
wtercede for the captives. This mission was attack-
ed and degraded at a place named Gage before the
Imperial officer; and its members were couducted
to the Fortress of Magadala and there held.
More than four years have now elapsed since this
series of imprisonments began, aud all peaceable
means to procure the release of the captives were
tried in vain, until finally the British Government
decided to try what virtue there will be in such av
armed expedition as that which has just been des-
patched to Abyssinia, The accounts at the begin-
uing of the present year represent âTheodore at the
head of 6000 ill disciplined men, and in possession
of a few unimportant fortresses. In {act it would
appear that Abyssinia is au Empire only in name.

KING THEODORE.
To 1855, after sundry wars with hostile tribes,
the present Kiug was huiled by the whole people of
Abyssinia as the Emperor Theodore, and was
crowned under that title by the Bishop of Salarna.
Theodore is described as aman of 40 years of
age, of average stature, of imposing carriage, and)
ot wa irregular but impressive physiognomy, =
Jook is sharp aud piercing. The changes and rever-
ses of his fortunes in war, in which he was seldem

triarch three days, then let him out, begged his par-
doo, and told him to take himself as fast as he
could. The Viceroy atterwards despatched the Bey
Abd-ul-Rahman with some nunicrous presenis and
revewed proposuls, The Bey was kept three years
ju Abyssivia, moat of the time in prison and
chained. Ou his way home, afier the close of this
interesting episodo, he was robbed naked. On ano-
ther occassiou the Naib of Argabo paid Theodore a

hands of a Tigre chief, and several weeks intervened
before he could proeged on his journey. The letter
finally reached London about the middle of February

Mr. Cameron appears to have siogularly misinter-
his instructions, coutained in Earl Russell's memo-!

* The principles on which you sheuld act sreâ|
abstinence from auy course of proceeding by which
a prefereuce for either party should be imputablo to

It will be your duty closely to watch any proceed-
ings which may tend to alter the state of possession

ry.
It is related that the new consul proceeded, on the
strength of this, into the iaterior again, and active-
ly endeavored to bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the Emperor and certain rebellious chiefs.
Failing in this attompt, he is said to have impru-
dently denounced the Emperor as a murderer, aud
to have paid, onhis own responsibility, a visit to
Theodoreâs enemies, the Turks. â+ Ip fact, he in-
terposed in dangerous broilsâ and provoked the
alarm and jealousy of the Emperor.â The latter
became, moreover, very mach incensed at not receiv-|

CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT AND IHEODORE,
âBut the worst trials of Europeans in Abyssinia
were to come, and the succeeding outrages, descri-
bed below, are those that called for the interference
of the British Goverumeut. It appears from the
account before us that the first dealings of that Ge-
vernment with the rulers of Abyssinia were just prior
19 1848, in which year, under the authority of Lord
Palmerston, a consulate was established at Muaso-
wal. Mr. Plowdeo was the penileman selected for
the post; and he succeeded in couclading a treaty
of peace with Rus All, Misister ot the poteatate of
the hour, King Juha. Whenthe Emperor Theodore
came tothe throue, ha vaturally disavowed; or ra-
ther quietly ignored, this precious compact, Mr.
Plowden finally wrote to anuouace the useleasness
of his commission, and the insurmountable obstacles
he saw to the establishment of commercial relations
with a natioo of pluoderers and freeboters,
â4â* A white man,â he wrote, âis considered fair

ignorance or liis fears.â But, sinauitaneausly, Mr.

{ By-avd-bye,!
Mr. Piowden, whilo travelling in the intocier, was)
his servants beaten nearly to death, avd had him im-
prisoned. Mr. Roenthal, another missionary, was
imprisoned soon afterwards. Subsequently, Consul)
Cameron and all Europeeos in Abyssinia shared the
same fate, with the exception of some missionaries
from Basle. This was late in 1863. In 1864, the
British Goverument, hearing of these violent acta,
sent a special mission in charge of Mr, Raeson to
wtercede for the captives. This mission was attack-
ed and degraded at a place named Gage before the
Imperial officer; and its members were couducted
to the Fortress of Magadala and there held.
More than four years have now elapsed since this
series of imprisonments began, aud all peaceable
means to procure the release of the captives were
tried in vain, until finally the British Government
decided to try what virtue there will be in such av
armed expedition as that which has just been des-
patched to Abyssinia, The accounts at the begin-
uing of the present year represent âTheodore at the
head of 6000 ill disciplined men, and in possession
of a few unimportant fortresses. In {act it would
appear that Abyssinia is au Empire only in name.
