FRENCH PAPERS. /ROM THE GAZETTE DI FRANCE, DATED MAT 4. ALEXANDRIA, IlLtacu 2 9 . We have nothing new of any importance; because the Tartar has not yet arrived from Constantinople who is to bring the resolution of the Sultan with respect to the proposals made to our Pacha by an English Envoy.. Thicilitoy remains in the mean time at Cairo, and an , English frigate and brig have been lying here for this, month past ready for him. Besides these, we have here' the Glasgow frigatt, and the French have a frigate and three small men - of war, one of which is to sail to-morrow with a convoy for Marseilles. The Pacha is still in the Delta, occup;ed with financial measures. An Egyptian corvette has lately returned from the Morea, which, on its entrance into Navarin, was brought to by a French ship of war, which fired three gnus, at it and searched it, though it had no more provisions on l board than were requisite for its own use during the voyage; after which it was alloaed to proceed. In this manner the Morea seems to be blockaded, and Ibra-' him's communications to be intercepted. It is generally, believed that out port also - will soon be blockaded, at another squadron - of the Pachresjs preparing to put col sea, which the Allies, according to the system they have now adOptod s will not permit. LEGHORN, Mau, at. The,report, already mentioned, brought by a Seedish l :Captain; of the detention of two Russian men-of-war 'by the Governor of Malta, proves to be entirely ground.; [less. A Captain, who has arrived here in eight days 'from Malta, affirms that the Russian squadron, which' had been thoroughly repaired and provisioned during its long stifin that port, had sailed shortly before his departure, and waited io the roadi fur the English squadron, whiCh was likewise beginning to weigh anchor. The 'destination of the two squadrons was.on-, certain. Some persons thought it was Navarin, strictly to blockade Ibrahim Pacha; others thought Alexan-, dria, to demand satisfaction for an insult lately offered! to an English brig of war by the Egyptian fleet in its late expedition on the coast of Candle, and perhaps to revire the release of the Greeks carried as slaves to EMI" .

But the duty for the protection of the British wool grower, when reduced to en ad valorem duty, was scarcely so much as three and a half per cent. This could wit be called a fair or equal protection. lie would net Oetiiii their Lordships by entering iuto the dekeif of the Nor i f istrs,. end of the other charges presping upon the agriepiture pl. the country; but Me claimed from theirl s priMrips'iustice e opportunity of proving that the statements he , bad made were correct, and that the interests of the now of England were not duly protected. He should now conclude by moving that a deltct Committee of their Lordship; be appointed, to inquire into the state of the Wool Trade and report thereon. The Duke of WELLINGTON would net. object. to the inOtion• of his Noble Friend. He was induced to agree to it, because he thought that when a considerable number of persons complained of the inconvenience under which they suffered in consequence of the regu lation of the wool trade, it was but reasonable that the House should enter upon an inquiry. Bet Jr begged at the same time to say, that from the inquiries he had thought it his duty to make, he felt convinced that the result of the inquiry would not be an increase of the duty. The Noble Lord had said that the duty was no more than si per cent.; but he compared this with the duty upon certain foreign articles. which previous to their im portation bad already undergone...the earlier stages of manufacture. This made a very materiel difference, and really .diniinished the force of the comparison. He' was anxious to say, before they entered upon the in quirt, that it was pot his intention to assent to any increase of duty. He consented to the inquiry, because be was convinced the effect of it would be to prove that no increase of duty was necessary. . 1404 HAREWOOD explained the state of the wool trade, by the circumstance that we had during the existence of the old duty, the monopoly of the world, and that now our manufacturers were barely able to compete with the growing manufactures of the Conti nent even with the reduced duty. If our manufacturers could not . eteCute the orders sent to them at the limited Fide, the orders would be withdrawn and seat else where: The granting of this COmmittee would produce the effect of deranging the trade, and suspending to a very' great degree its‘activity. The farmer complained chathe did nct get a remunerating price inconsequence of the imi.ort ; but if this were ;a, it would prove that our growers could not compete with foreign growers, and that colsequeritly if our manufacturers were to be cor,fined to the use of wool of home giewth, they could 'no longer compete with the foreign manufacturer. He had great doubt whether any good could arise from this Committee. It must enter upon a most extensive and protracted inquiry, and during the :Avhole of that . Om. the trade would be in an unsettled state. Another osis• chief of the inquiry would be, that it would lead to ptitshc exposure of the processes of oar manufacture, and of the transactions of individuals. _ _ _ Riven to it had not raved it from as great a fall iii price as wool. He knew Very few articiei which had not fallen in price.

Bd.-and altlkugh wool low in Price, he thou& chit it bad bat kept paCe'whli . the,;fall ,in,,,mber ankles, mad the increasi iii.thenalue of money.. After observing that one of teteasons for the falling•off in the ct;nitnitptioa of coarse woollens was to be found in the i4repecluse of counnmanufacturese such as fustian, in. the.-summer season, tbp Noble Baron concluded by repeating his opinion,That no pod could atise from the- inquiry. and that it was certain to prhdpce some degree s ot. ipjury. Lord ELLENBORIYUGH" contended that the in quiry was conceded for the mere purpose of, sitisfying_ the wool growers that they had no fair ground of can- plaint. lf any alarm, could be excited by the appoint ment of the Committee, he thought the eiplanatibes of the Noble Duke were calculated to sho* that it bad no foundation. In his opinion it was not suteient that the Government should be right in their determuiatinin ; they ought,*.at the same time, to be teed, to show that they had good reasons for chit determination, and he there fore was glad that the complainants would hive so op portunity of proving the whole extent of their case. Lord REDZSDALE observed, that an inquiry was necessary, for the sake of the wool growers, and of the agriculturists in- generil. There was already two years growth of wool on hand, and unless some relief was afforded by the Legislature, a great portion 01 . the light lands must be thrown out of coltivation: . The Earl of HAREWOOD said, that he did not see how the Committee could inquire only into the state of British wool, without entering into the question as to how it generally affected the manufact ores of the country.. After a few words from Lort MALiriIIURT and Lord ELMO. soaonott,tbe motion fora Committee war agreed to, and the Mem bers of the Committee appointed.

AMITODUCAL SCIIISLIG Lord SUFFIELD bad a Petition to present upon a subject which had already occupied much of - their Lordships' attention. His Lordship did not conceive that iu the present seats. of public feeling any Legislative enactment could operate to remove the evil complained of. The only suggestion he bad heard, he had an in superable objection to,.that was to alter the law which, as respected the mode of punishment, distinguished murder front all other crimes. Torte was, however, it his iofortuation was correct, one anomaly in the law which ought to be corrected. Surgeons were liable to the censure of the lowa, in the treatment of their patients,' they manifested any deficiency of skill, while at the same time they were, as he understood,. subject to punishment for having. dead birdies in their possession - for the porpoise of disseition. This was' a* inconsi.tency of the Lair which ought to be corrected.

In 14.14... it was proposed to redtice ;his duty to I L gtbing u thr Pritith gr ower in exchange the privilege Eps4ll,atipd. • But bow inadequate this. corn- The Earl of MALMESBURY thought his Noble *Friend had rather misconceived the object of the Corn. • mittee. It was merely to inquire into the present state of .she wool trade. He could show by the returns, that the exportation of British manufactured wool had Idirrainishisli and the importation of foreign raw wool bad greatly encreased.' As the Noble Duke had well observed,. the price of wool was about the same now as forty years ago. The quantity of foreign Wool imported, had encrealed in nine years from forty-two millions of pounds to eighty-nine millions. In 1819, when the new lights of free trade first burst spot) them, the ar gument employed was, that the manufacturers were making a saclike by consenting to the export of Bri tish wool, arid. that the wocl growers ought also to make at sacrifice by consenting io the import of foreign wool. They both, as' it had since appeared, had made a sacrifice which had produced no la, neficial return to either. The manufacture for exportation had declined, and the business of the wool grower had been entirely ruined. Lord WFIARNCLIFFE, with great deference to the opinions of the Noble !Jake (Wellington), could not agree with him that it was right to appoint a Com mittee of this description. There was a Board of Trade expressly appointed for the purpose of inquiring into these matters; and he could nr.t . understend why the parties could not lay before it those statements which I they now required to be beard • by a Committee -of the House of Lords. If they could satisfy the Board that some alteration ought to be made, then it would be the duty of his Majesty's Government . to take up the ques tion; but until they did so, lie thought there could not be a more injurious course with regard to its effect upon the woollen trade, than that which they were now about to pursue. If, too, there was any one time more in convenient than another for entering upon such inquiry by a Parliamentary Committee, it was this very period. The manufacturers Were now about to set out to make their purchases in the Sprini l Fairs of the Continent, and the consequence must ,be , akall business or specula tion will be at a stand &ring the progress of this in-. quiry. Their Lordships Might probably imagine that :these things-were little more than a mere matter of conversation in the House ofLOtda;.but there was not a hew or a cottage the empire into which the Re port of their determination , to make these inguirieis would not enter, and upon the proceedings of the in mates of which, if connected with the .trade in wool,. would not have an , injurious effect. He was, for his. part, thoroughly satisfied, that the greater the gratuity of foreign wool which came into this country, so much she better must it be for the.. British wool grosser. It ~was a sell known fact, that almost the whole-of the Southdown wools now produced in this country, are totally unlit for .use, unless mixed up with foreip r i— A greAt Cbanlie..has, also.. taken place &ring the last tea - lairs, and since the reduction of . the !
