LONDON, MONDAY. MARCH 21, 1825. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. On 'Yhuraday the Law of Sacrilege was kid before the Cham ber of Deputies by the Keeper of the Seals, who felt it necessary to oar au excuse for the shocking severity of he proposed punishments. " The severity of the punish ment," said he, " lies been blamed, and propositions has beea made to substitute one less severe. We say it, not *About regret, that we should have preferred the absolute sdence of the law. The law might have been silent on the subject of sacrilege, as among other people, and other times and places it has been on that of parricide. Is would not be impossible to find in this omission itself a proof of pro found respect for religion ; but, from the moment the law provides a punishment for the crimes of sacrilege and par ricide, it cannot, without shocking the principles of morality, religwo, and even common decency, avoid punishing them with the utmost severity. It is much easier to conceive the language of impiety to be the denial of sacrilege being a crime, than that of the man of piety denying it ought to be visited with the most severe punishment." The discussion of the law for reduclng the Renter was opened by M. Bouctiss , a royal i s t de p ut y , who strongly opposed the measure. M. Bo uRD t u afterwards deiiv;.red Sl:leech which made a ileep impression on the Chamber. The project of last year, he said, had at least the merit of clearness; the prestait was tortuous, confused, and incom prehensible. Both these speeches were ordered to be printed.

Nobody sees him but the Queen and his physcian, but be perseveres in his system of terror unrelaxed. So greet is his hatred of publicity, that he has ordered the only remaining Newspaper of Madrid, except the Gazette, to be suppressed ; and in future only two Paper' are to be per mitted, one to be exclusively appropriated to advertisements, and the other to contain only the royal ordinances and the discoveries that may be made in the arts and sciences.

The measures that have lately been adopted by the British Government relative to the wine trade will, no doubt, tend to relieve them. We find that the reduction of the import duty on iron has al ready put into activity the iron-works of Liege and Na mur. In the South American market a vast demand is expected by the Flemish ironmasters. This is alit should be. The more prosperous each particular interest becomes in every nation, the greater must be the welfare of our own country, which will necessarily thrive the faster, the more able her customers are to buy her commodities. Public improvements for commercial purposes are everywhere the order of the day. In the Amsterdam Papers of Saturday it is announced that the plan for opening a communication between Brussels and the Scheldt by means of a canal is under the consideration of the Government of the Nethse* lands. According to these Papers there seems to be every reason to believe that the visit of the Prince de hILTTLit• NICII to Paris has a political effect of great importance. The affairs of Greece are naturally conjectured to be those which chiefly occupy the attention of the Austrian Cabinet. Every prospect is favourable to the Greeks. Constanti nople continues in a state of excessive agitation, and the provinces are miserable and disaffected. Tranquillity jai not restored in Servia, and the whole aspect of the Turbdil empire portends its speedy dissolution. In the German Papers, which arrived yesterday, there is an observation which deserves attention. The writer is speaking churlishly of the engagement of German miners by the agents of the Anglo-Mexican Company. The ad mirers of England, he says, will see in this mission fresh cause to extol our energy and enterprise. lie does not deny that we are entitled to this praise; but he ascribes our great wealth to the prohibitory system on which we have acted with regard to the productions of other coun tries. " The reproach," be adds, " however recoils on ourselves; because we have allowed the free importation of their goods, while their ports have been closed against oar corn." It is of essential importance to the success of the liberal principles of commercial intercourse which we are now adopting ourselves, and recommending to the adoption of others, that we should impress them with the conviction of our sincerity, in respect of the perfect reci procity on which we profess to be willing and desirous to act. If any part of our commercial system should seem to warrant the suspicion that we are false in our profes sions, no rhetoric we can use will persuade foreigners to enter upon the course we advise them to pursue. It is a serious question how far our present Corn Laws are cal culated to produce the effect ascribed to them by this writer; for if such be their tendensy, that consideration alone might make it proper to revise them. By the Jamaica packets we have received letters and papers to the 25th January. The news of the liberation of Peru had reached that Island. The negroes were very contented, and the island was perfectly tranquil. Much interest has been excited in the West Indies by the trials of some slaves in Trinidad for murder. The prisoners were defended by the Proctuodor Syndic, or, as he is now termed under the late Order in Council, the Guardian Protector of Slaves. This officer appears to have discharged the duty with the utmost zeal for his clients, and with all the technical adroitness of his profession. The case of one slave, who was condemned to death, was carried before the new Court of Appeal, on the advice of the PROTECTOR, who opened his speech by a complimen tary allusion to the constitution of the Court he was ad dressing. The ATTOENSY-GCNER•L, who conducted the prosecution, replied ironically, and with some justice, that " it was undeniable his Majesty'a Ministers bad conferred upon this Colony privileges which had been denied to the people of Great Britain ; they had given us a Court of Appeal in criminal eases, whilst they submitted to the inconvenience of dispensing with this additional machinery for themselves. In the purest spirit of bene volent justice, they had given to all the rogues and vaga bonds of this Colony a professional defender, at an expense of 2,000/. per annum, when, after a laboured debate in the last Session of Parliament, they had decided that their brother felous in Europe were totally unworthy of a SIMI ' favour." Last night we received New York Papers to the lids ult. Their contents 'elate almost exclusively to the late struggle for the Presidency, and to speculations tespecting the new administration under Mr. ADAMS. In the tint ebullition of their anger and disappointment, the violent democrats declared their determination to nominate Gene ' ral Jack SON as a candidate for the next Presidential elec tion. It appears, however, that this threat, which was • too remote to be very terrifying if it had been sincere, will not be acted upon. Mr. Cita wr oRD was offered the choice of remaining at the head of the Treasury, but he has respect fully declined the situation. Mr. CI AY, it is believed, will continue in the chair of the House of Representatives, where he tan render the Adutnistration more efficient aid than in the Cabinet. Mr. Cu si To N, it is understood, will have the Hepattment of State. Great efforts arc making to get pus session of the loaves and fishes ; and the new President is reminded on mil aids that he was supported by the friends THE BRITISH PRV -~ , w+wr of the suitors, " in the confident expectation that they should be provided for." This is one of the most obvious ' evils of an elective chief magistracy. The sum-ireful can didate must regard one half of those he governs as his allies, and the other half as his enemies. The following are extracts from these Papers : LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT ELECT. Mr. WEBSTER, frem the Committee appointed for that pur pose, yesterday reported that the Committee had waited on John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, and hid notified to him that, in the recent election of a President of the United States, no person having received a majority of the votes of all the electors ap pointed, and the choke having consequently devolved upon the House of Representatives, that House, proceeding in the manner prescribed by the Constitution, did yesterday choose him to be President of the United States for four years, commencing on the 4th day of March next. And that the Committee Mid re ceived a certain answer, which he presented to the House. The Committee clan, in further performance of its duty, had given in formation of this election to the President. " Gentlemen—ln receiving this testimonial from the representa tives of the people, and States of this Union, I run deeply sensible to the circumstances under which it has been given. All my pre decessors in the high station to which the favour of the House now calls me, have been honoured with majorities of the electoral voices in their primary colleges. It has been my fortune to be placed, by the divisions of sentiment prevailing among our countrymen on this occasion in competition, friendly and honourable, with three of my fellow-citizens, all justly enjoying. in eminent degrees, the public favour; and of whose worth, talents, and services, no one entertains a higher and more respectful sense than myself. The names of two of them were, in the fulfilment of the provisions of the conatitittion, presented to the selection of the House, in concur rence with my own : names, closely aissociated with the glory of the nation, and one of them, further recommended by a larger minority of the primary electo ral suffrages than mine. " In this state of things, could my refusal to accept the trust thus delegated to me give an immediate opportunity to the people to form and to express, with a nearer approach to unanimity, the ob ject of their preference, I should not hesitate to decline the accept ance of this eminent charge, and to submit the decision of this momentous question again to their determination. But the consti tution itself has net so disposed of the cont ingency which would arise in the event of my refusal ; I shall, therefore, repair to the post assigned me by the call of my country, signified through her constituaonal organs ; oppressed with the magnitude of the ta sk before ma, but cheered with the hope of that generous support from my fellow citizens, which, in the vicissitudes of a life devoted to their service, has never failed to sustain me—confident in the trust, that the wisdom of the Legislative Councils will guide and direct me in the path of my official duty, and relying above all upon the superintending Providence of that Being ` in whose hand our breath is, and whose are all our ways.' " Gentlemen—l pray you to make acceptable to the House the 0111 stance of my profound gratitude for their confidence, and to ac saps yourselves my thanks for the friendly terms in which you Leave columuniestad to me their decision. " .101Iff Qt:INCr ADAMS. " Washington, 10th February, 1823." " A letter from Alvarado, of January B, received at Baltimore, states that the schooner Susan, Newman, (from Baltimore,) had been carried in a prize on the charge that she was bound to the Castle with supplies. On the of January another American schooner, name unknown, anchored between the city of Vera Cruz and the Castle, and is said to have been sunk at her moorings by a fire from the city—the Castle opened its batteries against the city, and the firing continued twenty four hours. A report was received on the Bth, that another Baltimore schooner had been captured near the Castle." " Alf. Appleton, from Spain, arrived at Washington City on Thursday. The Notional Journal of Saturday states—' We have reasou to believe there is no truth in the report received at New York, from England, of the intention of the King of Spain to de mand of the United States a real of their rec o g nition of the Inde pendence of several of the South American States, under pain, in case of refusal, of revoking the cession of the Floridas: " The Catholic Association held its last Meeting on Wednesday. During the preceding week the amount of the Catholic Rent exceeded 1,8001. The proceedings were befitting the occasion, and we trust, whatever may be the result of the Bill now before Parliament, that the moderate and conciliatory tone of the Catholic leaders may not at any future time undergo any change. They have by their recent temper advanced their claims con siderably. While they seem to appeal only to British justice they are heard, and if they will argue, they must convince; bat when they used menaces, which the speeches in the Association too often resembled, the British people could not brook the affront, and were alienated from a cause which its advocates rather sought to extort by fear than to establish by reason. We cannot suffer this opportunity to pass without commending the excellent feeling which characterised the speech of Mr. O'CoNNELL on the celebration of St. Patrick's day. Every friend to the union and welfare of the kingdom must have read it with the warmest sentiments of pleasure. The Times, in its leading article of Saturday, informs the public, as from authority, that " a communication from Madrid has been received by the agents for raising a Spa nish Loan in this country, in which FERDINAND reiterates his former declaration, that he will never acknowledge the bonds of the Cortes, even for the value of the paper en which they are printed. We feel much pleasure," it is added, " in making this his Majesty's declaration public, as well as gratitude for his manly," &c. For what sinister purpose this public and positive announcement is made we do not pretend to know; but we can most distinctly affirm that Mere is not a word of truth in it. It will not after this be difficult for the public, and more particularly the fre quenter of the Stock Exchange, to estimate the reliance to be placed upon what the Times has written on this subject, with so much " interest," for this last fortnight. In the first place, the messenger that arrived on Friday night brought no despatches whatever relative to the loan ; and in the next place, FERDINAND has not, at any period during the last three months, refused to recognise the Cortes Bonds. On the contrary, he has offered and is at this moment witting to tecognise them at thirty, interest included, upon condition of getting a loan from the Capitalists of London. It is even further true, that this very offer has been rejected, and that Mr. GREGORY, one of the Agents to whom the Times, we presume, alludes, has returned to Madrid with an offer of a loan upon the security of the Quicksilver Mines, and of certain duties to be levied upon wool and manufactured cottons, provid,xl FERDINAND will pay (not recognise) the Bonds at 35, and undertake further that no part of the loan so granted shall be applied towards the re-conquering the South American colonies. No answer has been, nor can be for some days, received to this offer; but we can assure the Times, for its information, that an eminent capitalist, en gtged in the above ncgociation, has proceeded to Paris, there to meet Mr. GREGORY on his return, and to arrange with the bankers of Paris for completing the loan, there being no doubt whatever of FARDLNAND'S ready ac quiescence in the terms proposed. CITY : SATURDAY EVENING The Money Markets were exceedingly flat on Saturday. here was scarcely anything doing in English Securities. Consols for money were at 931 f, and for the account 931. Indeed the English market is now quite a secondary con siderition with speculators, Shares and Foreign Stocks oc cupying their principal attention. In the Foreign Market, South American Securities were flat. Colombian Bonds were at 911. The Mexican Scrip (1825) Zit 3 ; and the Brazilian 211. The great depression of the morning was in Spanish Bonds. The Old declined to 243 1, and the New to 191. New Greek Scrip continued steady at 3i 1 discount, and it was eagerly bought at that price, because speculators seemed convinced that by so do ing they were making a good bargain. The Share Market was dull. Pasco Peruvians were from 22 to 93. The Mexican Company's Shares were at 41 5. Colombian Agricultural at 142 1.5. Indeed the only Shares that attracted notice on Saturday were the Co ral and Pearl Fishery, which were done all day at 81 9, and speculators considered themselves fortunate at getting Clem at that price. The Westminster Fish Company's Shares are issued, and have been done privately, we learn, at to 8 prem. In the Colonial Market there was very little jobbing ; but from the bargains we heard of, we can state that the price of Coffee is firm. Sugars were rather eat.

PARIS I , Matfett 18. We find the following article in the Bordeatix Paper. On the application of Dim 11ariano Gomez de la Torre. the In te:.dant of the Province of Madrid has ordered M. Victor Onward, late contractor for the army in Spain, to be summoned to appear by his attorney, within the apace of 30 days, at the office of that de partment, in order to be heard in the action brought against him by the said Mariano Gomez, relative to the fulfilment of a certain agreement, and to the payment of certain sums of money for the lodging and supply of the troops ; when the above term is expired, the proceedings will take their course. M. Pierret, formerly Member of the Convention, died on the 19th February, at his residence, at Brienne le Chateau, aged 67 year. He was of the small number of those who, braving the daggers of the assassins, did not vote for the death of Douis).CVl. Employed in several very dangerous misolons to departments which were a prey to anarchy, tic executed them with ability, repressed by his energy the excesses of the exalted, and gained the esteem of all honest men. (From the Courrier Francais of Friday 1 ADII9I, MARCH 7. _ _ It is positively asserted that the tribunal of Ca;teens has con demned to death General Don Francisco Martin, more generally known by the name of the Empecinado, and that the sentence has just been transmuted here to receive the Royal Assent. This un. fortunate General, who obtained a considerable reputation during the war of independence, has been for some time past shut up in the dungeons of Caceres, where he has constantly endured the most rigorous treatment. The relations and frierds of the General have, it is said, engaged his mother, a lady far advanced in life, to throw herself at the King's feet to implore his cletnency. It hoped that the King will not sutler a man, who has so often shed his blood to re:establish him on the throne of his ancestors, to perish o the scaffold. Two t aeons of Cordova having publicly said that the race of negroes ought to be destroyed and purged from Spain, as a labourer purges his lands of poisonous plants, have just been exiled from that town by order of Government. A superior enipttii in the Administration, accused of similar language, is comprehended in this condemnation. The King still suffers, and receives nobody except the Queen and his physician; fur this reason the journey to Toledo during Passion week will not take place. [From the Con:tit:Monne:l AIADILID, MARC/1 7. The King has had another attack. His Majesty had a violent fit of sickness on his return from the review on Sunday last at Ca ramancha, where all the Royalist volunteers of Madrid and its neighbourhood were assembled. His indisposition was occasioned by an individual going up to his Majesty's carriage and crying out several times, " Death to the King." His Majesty so sensibly felt this outrage, that he underwent a species of internal revolution. He who spoke these words was immediately attested. On being questioned, he answered that be was ready again to repeat those same expressions ; that he knew well enough that he should be condemned to bleach ; but that his firmness should never tail. He even added the most outrageous insults towards his Majesty. He was conducted to the prison of Madrid, and he will be tried forth. with. An order of the King has just suppressed the 'Natio of Madrid, one of the most stupid and insipid journals in Europe. The pub lication of two journals is about to be put up to auction ; one of them will be exclusively dedicated to commercial articles, and the other will only contain the royal ordinances and decrees, and the new discoveries in arts and sciences. The Government project to raise a subsidy on the clergy dies away (torn day to day : the latter have no objection to furni,h six millions of piasten for six years t but they do no: hide, that in consequence of this favour the Government will procure the cram'. tion of the Peninsula by the French. DUTCH AND FLEMISH PAPERS. ---."....--- BRUSSELS, MARCH . In the course of the month of May there will be at Luneville a camp consisting entirely of cavalry, much more numerous than that of last year. The Prince of Hohenlohe will have the chief com mand. It is supposed that the manceuvres will continue for three or four months, and it is hoped that this time the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme will come and reside for some days in the Palace at Linville, which has been repaired and handsomely fitted up. The proprietors of the vineyards in Bas Lorraine, and the country about Metz, complain bitterly of the losses they have sustained for these two years past; formerly they supplied almost exclu sively the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, the Ardennes, and part of the province of Namur; but the restrictions on the importation of their wine into those countries has greatly diminished the sale. They ardently wish for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between France and the Netherlands, which would probably put an en I to this embarrassing state of things. The reduction of the import duties on several articles lately re s lee I upon by the English Government, seems likely to have a sslutary influence on several branches of manufactures in the Ne. , therlwirls. Already we learn that the iron works in the province of Liege and Namur are more actively employed than they have been for a long titne. It may be remembered that it has been stated that the quantity of iron produced in England is at present icsufficient for the manufactories and iron rail-roads, which are becoming more and more numerous; but our apeculators in the Netherland' will hardly confine themselves to the exportation of taw iron to England, but will protit by the immense markets which the New American States offer, where all articles of iron meet with a very ready sale. At:0911(110H, MARCH 12. The Greeks have lost the opportunity of surprising Prevesa. The M ussulmans have been alarmed, and are now on their guard. De tachments are marching from the Danube to reinforce the Turkish army in Thessaly. Nothing more is said of the departure of the troops in Rumeha for the same destination. These corps, and those at Adrianople, have not yet moved. Servia is by no means tranquil. The party of the discontented increases daily, and the provinces are full of Greek agents.—Brersele Papers, March 19. [Extract from a Private L tt er.] e VIENNA, MARCH 7. Prince ltletternich has made several dispositions in the Foreign Office, which sufficiently prove that his absence from this capital will be very long. The Clerks of the office, who are to go to Milan in the beginning of April, are already selected; for Prince 3lettern len, when he leaves Paris, will not return to this city, but go direct to Milan. Baron Sturnier t the Father, formerly Internuncio from the Court of Austria to the Sublime Porte, is to have the direction of the official business during Prince Metternich'. absence. M. Van thin, who enjoys the particular confidence of the Minister, will, it is said, also remain here, and that, in fact, he will have the chief manage ment. All the despatches of importance are to be forwarded to Prince Metternich, first to Pavis, us long as he remains there, and afterwards to Milan. Pen:; le here are persuaded that the journey of our Prime Mi nister to Paris has a very important politiesl object, whatever may be said to persuade the public that there are other motives for it. It is ! generally agreed that the afl:tirs of Turkey and Greece are the principal object, and that the departure of the Prince, which was to hate taken place before, has been delayed, because it was wished to know first what was the result of the mission of Mr. Stratford Canning to St. Petersburgh. Several couriers with de patetes on this subject have arrived successively for the Russian capital. The moat profound secrecy is observed in the contents of them, and even the lint bankers know nothing for certain : hence it is inferred that the result of the ncgociation at St. Petersburgh, so tar as it is known, has not anawered the expectation of cur Court. It is hoped here that Prince Metternich will be able to in duce the French Cabinet to act in concert with ours respecting the affairs of Turkey. By the last letters from Constantinople it appecrs that the Divan begins to entertain suspicions respecting the negotiations between the Great Powers relative to the affairs of Greece. Alarming reports have been spread in Constantinople of an ap proaching invasion of the Russian troops. These report■ incense the Mussulmans and Iberease the fermentation that has for some time past prevailed in Constantinople. It is highly probable that the '1 urkish capital will shortly be the theatre of important event& Baussims, ce 14.

The following letters from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to Count 111onster will show the great and benevolent exertions which are making by all classes in Hanover for the relief of the sufferers by the late inutida. lions in that kingdom : (COPY). Hanover, Feb. 13, 1823. My Dear Munster,—As you have been regularly informed of ' the dreadful calsnity with which it has pleased Divine Providence to inflict this country, I will not trouble you with a repetition on this melancholy catastrophe, but rarress to you my sincere regret at the loss you :tare sustained on this occasion. By this day's report of the 31inisters, you will see that a General Committee has been formed here to receive the different subscrip tions which are making all over the country, and to distribute than fairly to the suffering districts. Yesterday the Commit tee met for the first time, and the sub scription propm.ed by me to the different members to be made be fore we separated amounted to nearly nineteen thousand dollar. This is 1 think a very good beginning, and the general sympathy felt at this awful calamity will, I trust, insure us success in our un- dertaking. Tne distress, however, as well as the nnmbers who are to be provided for, are so great, that every possible assistance that can be procured will be most desirable ; 1 have in consequence written to-day to the Duke of York, to request lie will put himself at too head of a subscription in England for the distressed districts. I have also written to the Kiag on the subject : whether his Idisksty will feel inclined to put himself at the head of such a subscription I am unable to say. All the moneys we can collect out of the funds here will be wanted. As the King may perhaps inquire what I hare done, I think it right to inform you that I hare subscribed 10,000 dollars. and the Duchess 1.0011 dollars. .My intended journey to England I. of course, have given up ; for I feel it my duty not to stir from my post till I see that our el ertions are successful, and that I can feel comfortable and easy when absent from here. You must excuse the hurry in which this is written ; but I arc really hardly come to myself st present, and therefore you must take the will for the deed ; and believe me, my dear Munster, Yours very sincerely, (Signed) ADOLPHUS FREDERICK. Hanover, March 4, HMS. My Dear Munster,-1 hasten to thank you for your kind letter of the 22d of February which I received yesterday morning. The welcome news it contained, as well as the letter of credit for 2,0001. from Courts on Cohen, has been, as you will evilly conceive, most gratefully received by the General Committee, and I may add by the whole town, for I am sure that before the end of the day there was not a soul in Hanover who was not in ecstacies at his Majesty's beneficence ; indeed it was quite a delight to toe to see the counte nances of the different individuals. and to hear the manner in which they spoke of the King. I have not failed to return his Majesty my humble thanks by this day's post, and have. at the same time informed him that I had sent you a receipt of the Treasurer of our Committee, Mr. Breuel, which I enclose hereby. I was glad to find by your letter that the Duke of York was to preside at the Meeting on Moneay last, and I hope that iodis. position will not have prevented him. Our subscriptions are going on here admirably, and reall, as far as I can judge, they at present exceed considerably what Thad any idea of. This town has given a noble example ; for, exclusive of the considerable sum which was subscribed by the Members of the General Committee on the first day of their meeting on the 14th, and the different subscriptions of the public departments, the col lections made among the burghers amount to 14,900 dollars; and, in addition to this, the town of Hanover had voted 2,000 dollars out of its properties, and the Hospital S. Spiritus Stio dollars. This I am sure you wilt allow is very handsome, and does infinite credit to the inhabitants. lam also persuaded, from the different i accounts we have received from all sides, that the wish to assist the distressed is very great all over the country, and therefore I am very sanguine about the result of our undertaking, and trust that, with the pecuniary assistance we can safely reckon upon from Eng land, we shall be able to do an infinite deal of good, and to extend our assistance, not only to the immediate relief of the sufferers by furnishing them with provisions and clothes, but also that we shall be Whin to go further, and procure them money for the re pairs of their houses and fir the purchase of cattle. I trust that, in the course of a week or te.s days, we shall be able to judge of tht event of the yolks which will be necessary for the repairs of the dikes, and to make a regular plan for this pur pose, which it is not in use power to do till we obtain this informa tion. and the technical operations of the engineers, upon whisk the whole depends. In the mean time I have put all the military at j the disposal of the Government, being convinced that his Majesty will approve of every thing being done to wsist in forwarding the arrangements which will be n-cessary for the Herculean work which must be finished in the middle of the summer. Thank God we have no storm to-day, and I therefore trust that the spring-tide, which is to-cluy, will not affect much the inun dated country. The repairs of the dikes, as far as they coo at present be attended to, are going on well ; and I am assured that the people are working very hard. lam happy to add that the loss of lives is much less considerable than it was at the storm of the year 1717, when, in the two provinces of Bremen and Kest- Friesland, about six thousand persons perished. 1 must now take my leave, with the assurance of my remaining, dear Mum .ter, Yarn very sincerely, (Signed) ADOLPI&S FREDERICK. : The Diamond frigate has arrived at Portsmouth from Mexico, having on board Mr. Lions! , Harvey one of the .

COT I ON TRADE.—Extract of a letter dated Alexandr ia, Jan. 19:—'• Consignnients of Mako Cotton are now made to all quarters. Besides several Netherlands and Norwe gian ships bound to Holland, we have two Swedish ships in lading for Hamburgh and Stettin. The Govern ment will not sell any more linseed, under the pretext that. the stock is too small ; but probably because it expects higher prices, having learned that this article has risen in Holland. Fresh supplies daily arrive; besides linseed some cargoes of cotton and other goods would be sent to Holland; but there is a want of ships adapted to the purpose. There will be a stilt greater demand for deem , produce above 400,000 bales, end the crop of linseed will be much greater than last year.
