An important communication from Earl Bathurst to his Exert,
loncy the Captain-Conceal, was laid before the two liousesof Le-
gislature on Friday last. in reference to the slave !simulation. and
containing some recommendations founded on the Irmidad Onlet
in Council. with the view of consolidating various Enactments re.
spotting that class, and which order it is intimated is Amu to be
immediately extended to Ifemerara, Berbice, Saint Lucia, and the
Mauritius. The Noble Earl's despatch likewise notifies the st
pointment of the Colonial Bishops. No discussion took place in the
!humor Assembly on the subject ; a Bill, we understand. being
already in a course of preparation for the accenuplisnment of every
practicable measure of improvement ; and it now rvansins a yttes-
don of the deepest interest for legislative determination, how tar the
views of his Majnity's Government may be reconciied with the pa-
collar local cimme.tancosofthe country.

MARSEILLES, SEPT: 2.

Wehave received several accounts from the Eerant, which again i
egiresent the interdions of the Viceroy of Egypt as liable to great '
suspicions. `• Not•idueanding all his armaments," say they,
he is not really in earnest in the expedition against the Mores;
sail Effendi had a grew deal oh trouble to induce hint to it, and
and be did not cons, r till he had no alternative left, either to ac-
cept the very advantageous idlers made hint by the l'orte, or to
break with it entirely. As the latter was not Imitable to his plans,

step. lie at length scripted the offer*, and really gave orders

kish agent that he wouldt net place himself at the head of
the expedition, as he was wished at l'onstantinople, but gave the
direction of it to his son. The ;imamate, however, rare:tied so

strances to get it hastened ; though the fleet was quite ready to Sail,
and the troop* were saseribled in and about Alexandria. But it
seemed that Ibrahim Psehta was furnished with particular inStrue-
tioes to defer indefinitely the nn jested attack on the 31orea. That
it was for this reason he went with his fleet to Rhodes. where he
made use of all manner of pretexts to begin a dispute with the Ca-
pital' Pasha, in order to esieute his delays. The Turks sus.
pert that he will take the tint opportunity to return to Alex.

denied that Ittraidni's *clay near Ithodes, at the critical

operations, appears to rortoborMC the suspicion. The Some lei-
