This squadron had issued from Algiers more than three months since, on the barbarian at the head of that regency resolving to violate the treaty with this country in 1816, and re-commence the old trade of piracy. The Cot a firs were sheltered until lately within the Dardanelles, and did not show their flag in the Mediterranean, or our cruisers would have long since seized on them. Their fate is now certain, and their capture will be an important benefit to the GrL.ks in the approaching struggle that awaits them. Lord Lauderdale's Bill fur the regulation of the silk trade was last night read a third time in the Upper House. After a short discussion, the Peers divided, when sixty-one voted for the 'till, and fifty-five against it, and the mca• sure was thus carried by a majority of six. This Bill, with very little variation, is the same as that which occa sioned so much agitation among the Kpitaltielils weavers last Stvuion, and was then rejected by the Legislature. An immense crowd was assembled in Palace-yard, and on its being known that the Bill was carried, there was great up roar and hooting from the silk weavers ; but no act of po sitive outrage has reached us, and after some time the lin mense crowd, we understand, peaceably dispersed. Gamut Papers, to a late date, maim' our office yester ekty. Accounts from 'Friesen., to the 4th of May, state, that several vessels had arrived at that port from Egypt, in twenty-seven days, and brought the accounts of the con flagration at Cairo, of which we were previously apprised, and which appears to have been most serious in its conse quences. Whether it was contrived by the Pacha, to dis guise his plans, and enable him to withhold the succours demanded by the Porte, against the ;reeks, or was pro dt,ced by other means, i■ not yet known. It appears it first broke out in the Palace of Wilma Ali, blew up a great part of the milazines of ammunition am! provisions, and busied more than four thousand individuals in the 1 ruins of the buildings. Letters from Alexandria of the Slat of March state, that the Podia's troops, which were to compose a part of the expedition to the Mores, were prevented by the plague, whi2ll hail broken out in Cairo, front occupyit their quarters near the magazine, miler wise they must have fallen victims to the explosion. This certaiuly appears suspicious, and looks as if the affair bad been contrived, at all risks, but the loss of his troops, by the wily Pacha. Cairo, it is added, was a scene of con fusion and dismay, and a great her of the inhabitants had fled from the city. The Pacha was coolly using every means to procure money, probably to make his peace at Constantinople; and had sold, it is added, thirty thousand bales of cotton to English traders. This would be a terrible importation from a city desolated by the plague. Subsequent letters from Alexandria to th,i title of Aptil, which reached Trieste in twenty-four days, state that a great part of the city of Cairo was destroyed by the expiation, and that several thousand inhabitants, with tnany foreign officers, among thereat the celebrated Ali Bey, who held the office of Screw, or Sword lkarer, to the Pacha. ' had lost their lives. The streets of Cairo were said to be covered with ruins and shad bodies. The loss sastain ul was calculated at the monstrous amount of sixty millions of piastres. The result of the business, however, was what the artful Mehuset AU probably anticipated, that no expe dition from Egypt for the Mona, it was thought, worth! sail ; and up to the 14th of April no troops had been em barked at Alexandria. The aje , t of the Paella is not to strip Egypt of all defenco, and whil:• his hands are in Syria or Greece, snbj,•et himself to the mandate of deposition, accompanied probably by the bow-string, from the Se raglio, without arty means of resistance. lle cannot as y. t openly shake off all allegiance to the Sultan, or voiture to deny the aid demanded against the "hristians ; but he has no inclination for the unprofitable crusade in the Mores; to him it could bring with it notlthig but danger, and he has sought to accomplish, probably by deep-laid contrivance, what lee could not venture to bring about by undisguised rebellion. To the Greeks the consequences must be most important ; Alt Wet Ali would be a dan gerous adversary, from his superior ability and resources. TafESTE. MAY 4. petition was ordered to he printed. We have the highest respect for Mr. Sortne•s abilities and character, and think it hard that either should be impeached, where the fault may not rest with him ; but who can pass the new buildings at Westminster, and consider them as anything but a vile excrescence? Are they in keeping, in the slightest degree, with the venerable structure that adjoins them, and which has lat!erly been restored with so much delicacy and effect? The Italian faSaile lately erected does nut harmonize in any way with time fine Gothic of IVestminster Hall. The front towards New Palace-yard, containing three Venetian windows, is a complete excres cence, and, on the amended plan prepared by Mr. Same, is to be taken down, and set back as far as the boundary wall of the Court of King's Bench. However hazard ous a tad; it may be, to place modern Gothic by the sidle of such a structure as Westminster Hall, we fully agree with the Uunnatittec in their report, that the northern entrance of Westminster flail should stand forward as the principal and permanent object to all those who enter the metropolis by %Vet:none:ter Bridge, or who approach the Courts of Justice, the /louses of Parliament, or the vene rable Abbey; and coosequently that any new building to be raised In its vieinity should be kept entirely subordinate, both in height and alignmer.t, to that noble monument,. and that therefore the dignity and consequence of the en trance to • e hall would be best consulted by making any Ail:Cored buildings subordinate and dependent upon the Hall, as their principal—thus preserving a general tone of • uniformity mai consistency, which is visibly wanting in the present elevation. The rele,,rt of the Committee also' Liustly and ilieiiminatingly remarks, that whenever the m can and dtesyirg odittts cf brick or plaster on the eastern side of the Hall arc removed, such another fabric as that now raised, tilled with Venetian windows between the Hail and the rivt r, could only render the incongruity and discordance still more glaring and unsightly ; and the future building towards time river must necessarily conform to the elevation of the new structure reported on by the Com mittee. The fronting this building with Portland in place of Bath stone, which would a,similate so much more closely to the colour of the t•ntrauce to Westminster Hall, was also a fatal error, which we arc astonished Mr. Solute over looked. The fact is the respected Judges of the Land, however deeply skilled in legal law, and profoundly versed in the works of Coke, of Bruton, and the departed sages of British isprudence, cannot be expected to know much of the science of Bernini, of Michael Angelo, or our great ILI ;onal architect, Sir Christopher Wren. 'fhe Lords o! the Treasury are, from t h e it office, touch butter judges of finance than of Gothic or Dieic architecture. The great inhert•ot fault was in the orig:nal plan, which ought to have been Imam worthy of Mr. Soave's acknowledged talents. The simple truth is, as the report states, but too justly, that large winks have been in some instances undertaken hastily, and without due consideration ; others have lwen committed to the persona who accidentally happened at the time to be attached as Surveyors to the several departments, but a general and superintentling eye hss always been wanting to pervade, direct, and control the I win le. The modern buildings of this great metropolis, with a solitary exception or two, arc any thing hut credit ! able to those who planned and directed them. It is cer tainly strange, that in a period distinguished by its progress in improvements of so many kinds—.Crtile in such mime rons inventions—mine-A in the encouragement of all the ' arts which are denominated liberal, and active in the difrusum of knowle: i 7c and the extension of science,— it is a matter at once of wonder and regret, that archi- I tecture lies not kept i ace with our other advances towards !perfection, and that we are still obliged to look for ex amides of excellence in th;f: art eitlier to titms long passed, lur to other countries rather than our own. The subject on which South. reminded his petition last night was origin ally brought forward this Session by Mr. It'ankes, and the Report which be is said to have prepared is creditable to his rulects anti his imiestry. The new building is a complete excrescence on the venerable structure adjoining ; an d the pres-nt thief Jitstio• of the Common Pleas had scarcely takot his seat, when it ,vmplaintsl of the incenveniencies of that Cow t.

The following intelligence was received yesterday morn ing at Lloyd's. We have no doubt that the alarm which our merchantmen felt at the appearance of the Alge rine ve,scht, was soon quieted by the arrival of a suffi cient British force to protec. them from depredation. Our Consul at Alexandria had apprised the Gallant Admiral who co 1111 l iands on that station of what had taken place, and he would immediately adopt the necessary measures for protecting our interests in that quarter.

The conduct of Mr. Moore, in destroying Lord Byron's Memoirs, has, within the few last days, formed the sub ject of much conversation. Though every one does justice to the generosity and nobleness of feeling which dictated the generous action of Mr. Moore, it is questionable how far a friend is justified in destroying, for the satisfaction of third parties, a memorial of a man of genius, entrusted to him to be preserved and ultimately published. That Mr. Moore was called on, by any principal of reason or feAing, to make a personal sacrifice, not to Lord Byron, not to per sons whom Lord Byron had wished to spare, but to some other parties, no one, we think, will venture to assert.— Fre/ging.
