The Journal de Smyrna gives the following :—" Mehemet
Ali, on the definitive conclusion of peace, has already formed
several brilliant projects for the future benefit of his rich do-
minions. He is going to augment his naval forces to the
number of 20 ships of the line, and his intentions are to
construct a good road from Alexandria to Cairo, with a canal
from Suez to the Nile, to transport his manufactures to Syria.
In respect to the island of Candia, his project is to make it a
free port, and to establish in Judea a maritime arsenal for his
great ships. His intentions also are to proceed to Crete and

THE FUNDS.

Up to the present hour we are entirely destitute of infor-
mation, as well as of arrivals, with the exception of the Estafette
from Paris, which reports that a French superior officer had
arrived at Brest, on his way to Portugal, with the recognition
of Donna Maria by the French Government, which was to be
published on the capture of Lisbon.

We are now expecting every day some decisive event from
Lisbon, as Napier, no doubt, arrived oft' that port with his
fleet on or about the 15th inst. _

SATURN'S RINGS.—The rings of Saturn
must present a magnificent spectacle from those regions of
the planet which lie above their enlightened sides, as vast
arches spanning the sky from horizon to horizon, and hold-
lug an invariable situation among the stars. On the other
hand, in the regions beneath the dark side, a solar eclipse
of fifteen years in duration, under their shadow must afford
(dtioo compensatedurideas) an inhospitable asylum to animated beings,
by the faint light of the Satellites. But
we shall do wrong to judge of the fitness or unfitness of
their condition from what we see around us, when, per-
haps, the very combinations which convey to our minds
only images of horror, may be in reality theatres of tbe
most striking and glorious displays of beneficent contrivance.
