Brussels yesterday with one of his aides-de-camp.
Yesterday his Majesty presided in the Council of)linisters.

dered his resignation.
Captain John Prissick, formerly Admiral of the Egyptian
feet of Mehemet Ali, died yesterday at Schaerbick, at the age
of forty-nine years. He was one of the bravest officers of the
English navy, esteemed for his private virtue as much as for
his military courage.
The Moniteur of to-day says—" Several journals have stated
that the troops of the garrison were ordered to 'remain in
their barracks during the evening of the We ne autho-
rised to declare that this assertion is wholly destitute of foun-
dation,"

A letter from Durfieldorf of April 10, says—" The iron
railroad between this and Elberfield is so far advanced that the
locomotive was tried to-day; on the first section, from Erkrath
to Frohwinkel, which it is probable will soon be open to the
public. It is thought the whole line to Elberfeld will be opea
in a few weeks."

CO RRESPONDENCE BETWEEN
MEHEMET ALI AND THE MERCHANTS
OF LIVERPOOL.
We publish the following Correspondence which has re-
cently taken place between the Pacha of Egypt and the
merchants of Liverpool, originated by the latter in recogni-
tion of the protection afforded by Mehemet Ali to British re-
sidents anti travellers in Egypt, and particularly at sthe time
when a suspension of amicable intercourse between the Pacha
and this country had virtually taken place. The address of
the Liverpool merchants is every way worthy of their high re-
putation, and the reply of Mehemet Ali affords another in-
dication of his liberality of feeling and generosity of character:—
" TO HIS HIGHNESS THE PACHA OF EGYPT.
We,. the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, and other in-
habitants of the town of Liverpool, beg to convey .to }our
Highness our admiration and grateful thanks for the uniform
protection and kindness manifested by your Highness towards
our countrymen for many years past, when travelling through
or sojourning in the extensive countries under your rule, and
which protection has not been less efficacious than universal.
" These sentiments have been still further enhanced by your
Highness's conduct on a recent occasion, when, with that
consideration for the welfare of the mercantile interest and the
benefit of travellers,, and with a. magnanimity worthy of the
most enlightened policy, your Highness was pleased to allow
the free transit of mails wilt passengers through your country
which under circumstances whitantrally dissever the ties binding
mankind together friendlyiniereourse, affording thereby a
rare exception in such cases to the general rule, a brillant ex-
ample to other potentates, and justly deserving, in our estinia-
tion, the thanks of the whole civlised world.
" That you may long continue to govern the fertile domi-
nion committed to your charge in prosperity and peace, devot-
ing to its improvement all the energies of your enlightened
mind : and that you may enjoy advanced age in health, ho-
nour, and happiness, is our sincere wish.
" Liverpool, Feb. 26, 1841." •
" Gentlemen,—His Highness the Viceroy has ordered the
undersigned to communicate to the mayor. bankers, mer-
chants, and other inhabitants of the town of Liverpool, that
their address has reached him.

" The sentiments expressed in that address are highly grati-
fying to his Highness, who accepts the good wishes thus con-
veyed to him, and will always exert himself for their realisation.
" Mercantile interests and travellers in the countries under
the rule of his Highness will always enjoy that effectual pro-
tection which is the type of civilisation in all nations—and in
strictly adhering to his system of civilisation even in periods of
the greatest difficulty, when his intentions were unknown, his
Highness has been faithful to his principles, and has given to
his officers and to the people under his government a lesson that
will bind them always in more friendly ties to the enlightened
people of other nations, for their mutual welfare.
" Amidst the regrets which his Highness sometimes expe-
riences at being unable to realise all the good he meditates,
Providence grants him occasionally some consolation. which
comes as a- soothing halm, and of this nature is the address of
the mayor, bankers, merchants, and other inhai:itants of the
town of Liverpool. The undersigned is charged to express the
great satisfaction that it has given to his Highness, ant.! to con-
vey to them his thanks.
"The undersigned has the honour to subscribe himself, Gen.
tlemen, your-most obedient and most humble servant,
