CAIRO, APRIL 11.

The following: information, in regard to the pr(S'"
ceedings of Ibrahim Pacha in Syria, deserves being
m. de public, not only as very creditable to him, but
as being of some general interest at the pre,:ent
time, when the attention of the cothtth'rcial ivorld i§
being fixed on that country. I hate it fran aft
English gentleman, connected with one the first
houses in London, who has visited his Higline'S'
the view of personally satisfying himself of the sti3.:
of the country, its prospects, and the practicability
of establishing with advantage a branch of his house
there. He found Ibrahim Paella at Acre, who n-
ceived him very graciously, kept him there three
days with him, and entered in the most friendly
and easy way into an explanation of his plans of go-
vernment for the country. His determination is
not to interfere in any way with commerce, but to
leave the people to dispose of their produce as they
please, restricting himself merely to a very trifling duty
for the present. The trade in silk, oil, cotton, and
every other production of the country to be perfectly
free; not only so, but he will give every encourage-
ment to those who may be disposed to embark
their capital in any of those branches ; the produc-
tion of silk may be carried to any extent. His
Highness is however of opinion that the people do
not know how to treat the worm or to wind the
silk properly, and that an importation of Italian§
or others well acquainted with this branch of fit=
dustry might prove very beneficial to thogz: making
the experiment. All the oil at present prOcinee4
will probably be required for the soap factories, i),14,4,
this is a branch that might also be extended 1:1
infinitum, the climate, soil, everything concurring
to favour it. As to cotton, he expects to export
this year, from the province of Adana alone, which
is described as the richest part of his Syrian domi-•
nions, capable of growing everything, 80,000 can-
tars, and experiments are to be made there, in
Beirout, Seida, and Acre, of the mako plant, 1-in
offers land to all who may be disposed to cultivate!
it on very low terms, giving it free for a couple oil
years, in case of its being in bad condition, or under
other unfavourable circumstances. This branch of
industry will probably increase immensely, as the
country revives from the long course of oppression and
misgovernment under which it has suffered. Ibra-
him Pacha is unceasing in his exertions to restore
order and repair the errors of his predecessors, en-
couraging industry by every means in his power,
opening up the country by roads, planting olives
wherever they have been neglected ; but what is.
perhaps, of greater importance, with the aid of
several young men whom he has educated at his

own expense in France and England, he has orga-
nized a system of government for the country, that
Ivill ere long distinguish that as the most favoured
portion of the Turkish empire. His views of
government are more liberal than those, perhaps,
of any Turk existing, certainly more liberal much
than those of his father, who is unquestionably the
first man of the present. day of the race of Moslem,
and whose energy and enterprise Ibrahim possesses
in an eminent degree, with other qualities that,
when brought fully into operation, will probably
secure him as high a place in history, and to his
people more lasting benefit, than any Mohammed
Ali is likely to confer. From what I have stated
above, it will be seen that his views as to
commerce are the very reverse of his father's,
who makes a monopoly of every thing : an English-
man has no difficulty in deciding which of these
courses is best. It has always been a matter
of regret with me that Ibrahim was not allowed to
found a new dynasty at Constantinople, because it
is clear, by such a measure, the integrity of the
Turkish empire, which seems so much desired by
the great powers of the west, would not only have
been secured, but a more effectual barrier oppo-ed
to the aggression of Russia in that quarter than
any other that they will be able to devise. Be-
sides, Ibrahim has a strong and growing party in
Turkey, his conduct in the Morea and since
having raised him very high in the eyes of his coun-
trymen, who say that he is not the man, in any ex-
tremity, to flee to foreign aid for protection. He
proposes making Antioch the seat of goverment for
Syria! and Alexandretta, which is only three
leagues from it, the port, though this is not yet
finally determined upon. Coals have been dis-
covered in three different places, not however of the
first quality, so far as yet appears.
It is said in the Augsburg Gazette of the 14th of
February, on information received from Smyrna,
" that an army of 18,000 men, which Mohammed
Ali had despatched to the borders of the Red Sea
to put down an insurrection in the Hedjaz, had been
put to the route, and 2,000 Turkish Candiots had
gone over to the rebels. Mohammed Ali was pre-
paring another army for the renewal of the attack."
There is not a word of truth in all this ; nor should
anything be believed that is said in the Smyrna Ga-
zette (whence, no doubt, that information was de-
rived) in regard to this country. The Pacha's army,
which does not amount to half the number stated,
has not as yet received the slightest check, nor is
there a Turkish Candiot in it. His measures are
generally too well taken for any such mishaps as
tese. The army will proceed about this time from
Djedda into the interior of Asia. The first object
of attack is Sanna, the capital of Arabia Felix, hi-
therto a virgin town, no foreign force having ever
yet approached it. Success in that will be followed
by the subjugation of the whole country between
Sanna and the sea, including Mocha and other rich
and valuable provinces—in fact, the whole country
bordering the east coast of the Red Sea, from
Djedda to the Straits of Babelmandel. This coun-
try has, for a long time, been under the government
of the Imauns of Sanna, a powerful family, who ex-
ercised an absolute sway over those parts ; but the
present Imaun being a weak man, addicted to drink-
ing, civil dissension has arisen, different tribes have
taken arms, and plundered and disturbed the. coun-
try, and upon the plea that such a state of things is
dangerous, and might be of evil influence on the
Paella's province of Mecca adjoining, as well as on

account of having harboured "his rebel Bey, Turki
Bel Mes, Mohammed Ali has determined to add

this to his other extensive dominions.

On Monday morning, as two journeymen
painters were employed in the erection of a scaffold on
the roof of the Herald's College, one of them, while
in the act of tying two poles together, slipped off the
board on which he was standing, and was precipitated
into the street, from a height of between 70 and 80
feet, and killed on the spot.
