We have accounts from Alexandria of a recent date. They eon. firm the report ghat the troops of the Pacha had made no movement in the furtherance of the views of France against Algiers. Accord. ing to these accounts, a treaty of alliance between France and Egypt was on the point of being signed, add all the conditions were agreed on, but orders issued from the cabinet of Windsor put ' a stop to these negotiations, in consequence of which Mehemet Afi has relinquished all idea of making any settlement in one or more of the Barbary regencies. Already several Egyptian vessels had tkeir provisions on board, and the embarkation of the troops was to have taken place. Nevertheless, many persons are of opinion, that Mehemet will still pursue his original designs, and that he will not retreat, after having incurred the principal part of the expense necessary for an expedition. Ibrahim Pack*, the son of Ali Pacha, is actively superintending the works going on at Alex. andri t. Osman Bey, who is a sort of superintendent overy every thing naval and military, has commenced building two three deck. era, to mount iOO guns ; and he has just launched a frigate, of 54 guns, built by an Arab, (who neither knows how to read or write) which, from her appearance, would not discredit the most scientific ' constructor in Europe Ali I'acha is a most extraordinary man, and the progress he is making in preparing the sinews of war is most astonishing. lie has 40,000 troops, disciplined after the Eu ropean mode. He is constructing an arsenal ; has a fleet of about thirty sail, four large double-banked frigates, and expecting one from Marseilles ' and one from Englard daily. All these prepara tions arc supposed to be indicative of his throwing off his allegiance to the Porte, whenever the times are favourable, or he may feel him self strong enough to ensure its success. By the Jamaica Packet which arrived at Falmouth on Thursday. we learn that the King oeSpain has demanded from the President Boyer a restitution of part of Spanish San Domingo. This demand having been treated with contempt, the quixotic spirit of the Spa niards has prompted them to attempt an expedition from Cuba to enforce the demand ; but the Haytians were quite competent to re sist any effort of the kind. To this new difficulty of Ferdinand is l to be added a quarrel with his relations, the Kings of France and Naples, the Ptince of Lucca, and the Du kel of Parma; and all the Bourbon princes have protested against the decree of the King of Spain, abrogating the Salic law, In contravention of the family com pact.

PORTSMOUTH APRIL 24. The Cadmus, 10, Commander Sir Thomas Thompson. arrived at Bpithead on Tuesday, with a freight of diamonds and silver, value 90,0001. sterling. She had a good run from Pernambuco of thirty. five days only, having sailed from that port on the 17th ultimo. —She left Bahia on the Gth Match, and Rio de Janeiro on the 19th February ; in the latter port the Warspite, 76, Captain Bur. gess, and Algerine, 10, Commander Talbot, were then lying there.l —The Volage, 28, Captain Lord Colchester, was going in as' the Cadmus came out of the harbour. She brings no political news relative to Brazil—all was quiet there. On the Ist of March, the President of Bahia, who is a general officer, and a great friend of the emperor, was assassinated in the street, while parading in' the evening. It was imagined, however, that the cause was wholly of a private nature. A line of battle ship, of 64 guns, and a frigate, are about to be launched at Bahia. The Lightning, 18, Capt. Dickinson, was at Buenos Ayres. In this neighbourhood, although no positive hostilities existed, yet the spirit of party ran high, and the country was almost impassable from the numerous prowling bands of robbers. Gen. Quiroga was gibing considerable alarm to the Chilian government, he having crossed the mountains, and, when last beard of, was advancing to the city of St. Jago. The Thetis frigate was at Valparaiso, the Forte frigate at Callao, waiting for silver which the Sapphire frigate was to bring from Acapulco and San Bias, and the Alert sloop of war from the inter. mediate ports. The Tribune frigate sailed for the Pacific on the 6th January, where the Scringapatam had also proceeded. Captain Hon. W. Waldegrave will command on that station when Captain Bingham quits. The Seringapatam will previously, however, visit the Society and Friendly Islands. On the 23d of December the Chilian brig of war Achilles, of 20 guns, mutinied against her Officers while at anchor at Valparaiso, sent her Admiral and Captain on shore, and was making to sea, when the Chilian authori. ties requested Captain Bingham, in the Thetis, to bring her back. ' He immediately slipped and fired a gun to bring her to, when the Chilian brig had the temerity to return the fire, for which she was severely punished with a couple of broadsides, having lost several of her men. She was brought back and restored to the Chilian vemment. The Algerine sloop of war was lately sent to St. Ca therine's to obtain restitution of an English vessel which had frau dulently been taken from the owners through the illness or derange ment of her captain. She was found plundered of her cargo, and about to proceed to sea as a pirate. Site was brought into Rio Ja. neiro. The Cadmus spoke the ship Express, from London to Mar seilles, in long. 10. 60. lost. 48. She came into harbour on Thurs. day to be paid off. Our India squadron on the lit of December was disposed as follows :—Southampton at Trincomalee; Crocodile at New South Wales ; Challenger at Madras, on the point of proceeding to Born. bay ; Success on her way front Sydney to Ceylon, and to come to England; Satellite at Calcutta, and afterwards to cruise off the coasts of Martabsn and Siam ; Cruizer and Sulphur at Swan Ri ver; Comet at Manilla; Zebra at Van Diemen's Land. The Southampton, Challenger, and Satellite, had been on an experi mental cruise, in which the Southampton proved to have more speed and possess more weatherly qualities than the smaller vessels. The Satellite stood better under her canvass than the Challenger. Lieut.. Sicklemore, Mowat, and Cuppage, with hlr. Ray, surgeon, and Lieut. Griffin, R.M. had invalided, and were to come home in , the Success. On Thursday theChilde Hato d, Indianian, arrived from Bombay, Ceylon, and the Mauritius. At the latter Wand she loaded sugar. She left Bombay on the 2d November, Ceylon on the Bth Dece mber , and Mauritius the 26th of January ; at die latter place she left the Tweed frigate, and the a/OCW .110011 of war. She touched at the Cape, and quitted on the 17th of February, leaving there the 11aidstone frigate, and Falcon sloop of war. We are sorry, to learn the total loss of the Lady Holland, %dismiss, at Dassieul Island, about sixty mike north of the Cape; all her posseitiora and crew were, however, eared. be Childe Harold called at St. Helena, and found there the David Scott, Indianian. At As.. tension, from which she sailed on the 10th March, she left the Chan. CHINA. MANILLA.— The Government of this island has resolved on the imposition of a poll-tax on the Chinese residents, from January next. The Chinese Coollees are to pay two dollars per month ; shopkeepers clerks § 4 ; wholesale merchants from 10 to 12 drs. per month. This measure has excited a good deal of irritation ; but this and even harsher measures were loudly and unanimously called, for by the native and Spanish population. Thus a bigoted and des potic Christian Government endeavours, by extorting money from industrious heathens, to supply the want of industry and exertions among its own people. The tax, if not evaded, may amount to 300,000 or 400,000 dollars per ann. and afoul sinecure support to 200 or 300 Europeans; and this is sufficient to recommend it with all its injustice. The native language of the islanders possessed no literature on the arrival of the Spaniards except a few songs, comedies, &c. and their Christian conquerors have steadily discouraged the study of it, and forbidden books to be translated into it, to induce the natives to acquire Castilian. To visit the interior of Luzon is no longer permitted by the Spa. nish government to foreigners. It lends all energies to the support of intolerance and ignorance. PEKING —His Majesty has fixed the 13th of September next as the day of his departure towards the tombs of his ancestors in Man. chow Tartary, and has given orders to the Kings, Princes, Minis ters, and military escort, to be in readiness to accompany. He has ordered the Astronomical Board to select a felicitous day for the interment of the late Empress. Certain members of the Imperial Clan have violated the law lately made against their interfering in prosecutions which did not immediately concern themselves, undertaken to extort money. The Emperor has ordered them to be proceeded against according to the utmost rigour of the late law. Despatches frequently arrive from Western Tartary, containing the internal arrangement of the Igussultnan affairs, their puha", schools, and mosques. His Majesty, though not of the Mussulman faith, by no means excludes his subjects of that persua.ion from offices of trust and emolument Why does he not extend the same toleration to his Christian subjects ? Is it their fault, or is it Ms ? or is it something in the conduct of Christians ?—Canton Register, Aug. 17. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received the South African, Cape of Good Hope paper, to the 14th of February. The following is an extract : " Below will be found a statement of the value and description of produce exported from this colony during the last quarter of the year 1829, taken from the Custom-house books, at the re quest of the Committee of the Commercial Exchange. The list will be found to exhibit pleasing and satisfactory Indications of the industry and enterprise of the colonists, and of the incensing prosperity of the colony. How short a time ago is it since not a bullock's hide was exported. And as to other descriptions of felt, or even horns, of which many hundred thousands arc now collected and sent to England annually, the period is still more recent when the latter strewed the sea-beach, or were thrown away as utterly useless, and the former were turned to as little profitable account. In the same way may be mentioned fruit, aloes, argol, butter, salted provisions, salt fish. and many other articles, which have gtadually swelled the catalogue of our exports. " With the principles of free trade now almost fully recognised, —with markets all around us, ready and eager to consume our pro. duce,—little seems wanting to secure the permanent advancement of the settlement, but a stern and speedy revision of the taxes that fall heavily .ipon agriculture, which cramp the energies of the farmer, and prevent him in many cases from making any provision against those natural visitations which io this colony are of such frequent recurrence. By lightening his burdens in this respect, and assist ing him, by means of good roads, to convey his produce to the nearest market, or port of shipment, we shall soon find that a pro. digious augmentation of the quantity of every species of colonial produce will be the result." In the account of the goods exported which follows the above re marks, we find that the colonial produce exported to this country during the three last months of 1829, has amounted to 16,1661. The exports to other British colonies and elsewhere, during the same period, amount nearly to as much more, making a total of 32,0491._ The Cape Gust tie of the sth of February has published an or. dinance of the tiovernor in Council, authorizing the Philanthropic Society to purchase slaves for the purpose of manumission, and to apprentice the same for a term not exceeding the period at which they shall attain the age of 18 yean. The heat had been latterly exce.sive at the Gape. In several shady situations the thermometer is said to have been at 97. Our readers will recollect that it was the mummer season in that part of the lobe. A great quanti of rain and other produce was daily making its appearance at Ca pe town, and generally obtained high prima.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MARSEILLES, DATFD Aram 14. Here, as at Lyons, whence I wrote to you 15.4, the expedition is the general topic of conversation ; with this difference, that at I.ySns it is unanimously blamed, whereas at Marseilles It is universally ap. proved. This is not to be wondered at when we contemplate the different interests of the two cities ; the commerce of the latter only will be increased by this important event It is true that thin mode of viewing matters savours of egotism ; but such is the way of the world, and we aunt take it as we find it. There is no chance of the arrival of the Dauphin, an event an. nounced as certain in all the newspapers. The presence of the Prince might, indeed, have a salutary effect on the army, but this advantage would not counterbalance the inconveniences vaulting from even a temporary suspension in the preparations for the war, wh'eb mut.' tale place under such circumstances. The Admital has friniself made trial of three steatn-rachr. u'- fend by the American Consul at Havre ; they might be lit for th , navigation of the Rhone, but they appear of too weak a structure sea; moreover, the price required for each is 300,000 franc., v.-1.%•., is far beyond the which it would be prudent to bestow n:: sue': vessels. It has, therefore, been determined nut to purchase Tote!licence from Africa announces the perfect security of Ole lkv and his Divan. ‘Ve are informed that lie scarcely condescends to make preparations fur defence. In vain do officious persons--f such ate to be found in every clime—endeavour to make him yrrre• ble of the imminence of his peril. Ile is told of the ntagnituel. the preparations making against him, that they are on a I.:rg,r scale than even those made by Bonaparte fur the I:gyrian can . paign. To this he answers, '• 100 is great, and the sea is elat.grr ous." On the other hand, it is known that tl:c populace subjected to the yoke of this barbarian, hail with joy the appioaching arrival of our fleet. If the inhabitants of Algiers, placed immediatt I:: un der his grasp, dread the effects of his rage, those who live extra witiros may escape his fury by quitting their nomade dwellings, and thus laugh at the impotence of his threats. No doubt can exist that, as soon as the expeditionary army shall have surrounded the place, there will be a general insurrection among the Moors in our favour. The most minute precautions are taken on every point connected with the expedition. The only fault that could be found on this subject would be the excess of precaution, if such indeed could ever become t's matter of reproach. The greatest difficulty exists in pro. curing sufficient supplies of forage. Prove:um affords fee• resources in this respect. The price of hay rises daily. The boatmen of the Rhone will profit by this impulse given to trade in the conveyance of forage to Toulon and Marseilles. The enthusiasm of the troops is wound up to the highest pitch; bat on this subject I must Lot enlarge, lest 1 should b. merely repeating %hat issues front every tongue.—Londas Express and Paris Advertiser.

Gnaw the authority of the law of 1819, the Cuarli , taionuel, the Joarnet des Debate ' and other opposition papers, have ban compelled, by an order of the Prefect of Police, to copy twin the Illottiteur the article in vindication of the Ministry. PARIS, APRIL 24. Intelligence has been received in Paris of the internal state of Al giers, up to the 4th inst. The population arc in the highest degree ' of fermentation, and the Dcy Is exposed to the greatest dangers ; the Algerines are willing to make every sacrifice to avoid a bonstianl. meet. They talk openly of giving all the satisfaction demanded by France. The Grandees are ready to make every concession to the Conamander-In-Chief of the army, to promise to restore all the French property that has been seized, and engage not to visit any vessels belonging to nations under the protection of France. It is said that the Dey will offer to pay an indemnity for the expenses of the armament. It appears certain that the measute adopted by the King of Spain relative to the Salle Law was not only concealed from the Kill of Naples, but also from the Infant Don Carlos. The Count de Saint Priest had not beard any thing of the project till the evening betirre its publication ; and on the very day after he had dispatched e courier to announce to the French Government that rumours of suet. a step was afloat, the abolition of the Salic Law was proclaimed in the streets of Madrid. Nothing then was left for the Ambassadors of the Kings and Princes of the House of Bourbon but to del4tr their protests, which they lost no time in doing. PARIS, APRIL 23. The Arise of Toulon contains the following The Dev has determined upon offering the most resolute resistance to the Ftench. Several batteries have been stationed upon the beach to the west of Algiers, where it is expected that the troops will disembark. Another battery of 40 pieces of cannon in a triple row, has been raised on the cast of Algiers, upon the beach,and opposite to the Fisherman's-gate. It was before this point that Lord Lxmouth s s! , ip was laid with her broadside, in 1816 ; but at that time it was defended by only 15 guns, and those but of small calibre. Since that period they have planted many 48 pounders on the mole, by the town side, which defend the entrance into the harbour. This battery is distant from that of the Fisherman's-gate only 100 yards. There are in the port 80 gun-boats, which are said to be well armed, but under unskilful commanders, and badly served. The Dey never quits the fortress, and has constructed new fortifications in addition to those which already defend his retreat. From this it appears that he thinks it necessary to prepare against a popular insurrection, an occurrence by no means rare in that country. If we may aedit reports, many conspiracies have already been formed against his life, and some even say that he has been beheaded. These reports have, within throw few last days, been repeated at Toulon, and our coffee-house polhi. clans assert, that the brig Adventure has brought a positive conflr. manor' of the news. We have received several letters from that station, by the sane ship, but we find nothing that confirms these rumours.' The preparations for the expedition will have been completed in two months. All the coast where the army is to land has beets sounded. In 32 hours, 32,000 men will be landed, and 12 days will be sufficient to disembark ail the materiel of the army, and all the heavy &ninety. The banners of France will be unfurled again where the greatest of our Kings died. The :floc rich coast will see us again with that warlike ardour the indelible characteristic art our nation. A barbarian will perceive whether he can insult time representative of our King with impunity. Already he sees the blockade daily reiuforc 180 King's ships and a prodigious quantity of vessels wait for the ' French army in the French and Spanish ports. If the treasures of the Dey do not fall into our hands, the 1,500 cannon which de. fend Algiers will be sufficient for an indemnity of the expenses of the war and blockade. Our honour revenged,—piracy destroyed in the 31editerrantan,—u hat more honourable prospect can be held out to French soldiers ?—Gazette. de France. The following intelligence from Madrid is of the 13th instant : —" Fresh despatches have been received from the Count d'Espana. still more alarming than the former. He states that a comiptracy is completely organised. and that he has scarcely any hopes that it will be put down even with all the efforts of the government combined." The following intelligence horn Trieste is of the 10th instant : - " We learn by two vessels that arrived here yesterday from Alex andria in thirty days, that en English steamer reached tlat port on the 9th ult. from Corru, with despatches for the English Consul, who immediately proceeded to Cairo- It is supposed that lie had orders to intenu the Pacha cf the dbpLasure which the British Go. vernt fzel at bis co-operation in the war against Algiers. Their s.r day the whole of the Egyptian squadron set sail for an unknown destinat ion."
