EGYPT.

The newspaper established in Egypt by authority
of Mahomet Paella, is printed at Boulac, near Cairo,
and contains a report of all public transactions of
consequence, in particular of the debates of the
Central Assembly or Parliament. This Assembly
is composed as follows
:
Of the Ministers of the Pacha; the Ulemas (or
heads of the law) ; the managers of the manufac-
turing establishments conducted for Government
account.
Of the Cachefs, or P►efects of Districts, to the
number of twenty-eight.
Of the Cheyks-el•Belad, or beads of villages, who
form the representatives of the people, and are
niaety-three in nu►rber, chiefly from Lower Egypt.
The Sessions was opened by a long speech from
Ibrahim Pacha, who declared that his father's policy
was to cultivate peace with all nations, and to be-
stow unremitted attention on the internal improve-
ment of the country. Of this he has given a sub-
stantial proof in the public works lately finished,
and which are described in the newspaper in ques-
tion as follow :
" A new dock for building ships of war has been
opened at Alexandria. The number of workmen
employed there is 1,700, chiefly shipwrights, rope-
makers, and blacksmiths.
" A large powder magazine has been erected at a
town of the interior called Cadamnebe; it coat about
12,0001. sterling, and is fitted to contain about 1,000
tons of gunpowder. A guard of 100 me❑ is con-
stantly in attendance."
This newspaper contains also a copy- of a new
Penal Code for Egypt, which, on the whole, appears
to be well adapted to the existing state of civilization
in that country.
