We recollect, says the Union, a striking remark which was made to us by an intelligent
Englishman in April, 1815. There were three
men of advanced age in the Eastern continent,
of great authority in their respective countries,
the era of whose death, singly, might be expected to produce great sensation, and perhaps considerable commotion, in that quarter of the
world. These were: Louis Philippe, the King
of the French: Metternich, for forty years the
minister of the Austrian Emperor: and the
Pacha of Egypt. It happens, by a curious coincidence, that they may be all three removed at
the same time from the theatre of action. Two
of these are already deprived, not by death, but
by revolution, of the power which they wielded,
and the third of these, His Highness (H H) the
Pacha of Egypt, has probably disappeared from
the theatre, by sickness, if we may judge from a
letter, from our charge in Constantinople, addressed to him by an official source in Alexandria, Egypt
