I „IP aeha, the Minister of Commerce, and the department

EGYPT.
ALEXANDRIA, Mailer{ 30.—Since the departure of the
e 41,1 nothing of importance has transpired here. We are
Othout any official news from Constantinople. Six or seven
Nr Id additional troops have arrived in Alexandria during
test few days. The plague has somewhat increased, and has
't) among the Pacha's'fleet. The captain of No. S (of the
okt died of plague two days since, and in Cairo the cases are
10 daily. 'fen m. cotton were sold by auction this
1 441ng 13 77i-100 per cent. The Emmetjee packet came
night from Beyrout. By the accounts she brings it
kits the French are actively intriguing there, and that
Ike (theron in her last trip to Beyrout, took there 125,000
10r distribution among the Catholic Christians and
kit si while many agents are actively employed in exciting
titotnst and ill-feeling towards the English. There is much
Qty tent among the mountaineers, who complain of harsh
kith.4l'by nt the Turki.h Governor, and have really benefited
Ag 1? y the exchange of masters. Colonel Napier re-
Yaq by the Emmetjee, having accompanied to Syria the
kill!' hostages, whose arrival there caused great excitement
'inicing among the mountaineers, but the French had
f44led among them all the credit of obtaining their release.
Wilbrahim, with his staff and fifty artillerymen, was
IttitYrent. One of the French political agents, Count Ber-
14e.arrived here by the Emmetjee. The plague was corn-
in Beyrout, and the infected districts surrounded by
tti,,..,4Y cordons. The Count had broken the cordon, and re-
ed a wound in the affray with the Turkish soldiers, but
Heeded in getting on board the Emmetjee.
411, 6.—The cases of plague in Cairo are now reduced to
hili4 five. Ibrahim Pacha set the example there of putting
21sem into quarantine, which was followed by the principal
in
is Cairo. Here the Europeans have commenced their
Precautions,L the cases averaging about 15 daily.
Site' reach frigate arrived to-day in 16 days from Brest, to
e the Embuscade corvette in this harbour.
\g,!.Giraffes are arrived in Cairo on their way to France, in-

Pacha is in good health, devoting his whole time to
Operintendence of his estates near Cairo, and apparently
,kterfering in politics.
14),Lttifications are still creating, and a body of between
111e7, and 30,000 troops are in the vicinity of Alexandria, but

Ilk as so completely on the beach that it was considered
tte St impossible to float her off again ; but from the extreme
itt•'4 °us of Captain Benjamin Ford, of that Company's ser-
t(ii., she was floated off, after taking out her machinery, and
akl •
to Constantinople, making an immense quantity of water.
ttiZsequence of no dock being available, and such extensive
ts,errs. being required, her keel being completely gone, and
to al holes through her bottom, it was considered necessary
heavelti,, the vessel down, and, the state of the beach where it
