ALEXANDRIA, MAY 18.
The passage of troops, destined for India, con-
tinues in full activity.

It results from an official return, which comes
down to the 14th inst., that the number of Eng-
lish troops, who during the last seven months
have traversed Egypt on their route to India,
forms an effective force of 7,134 men.

THE CAGLIARI.
Official despatches from Naples say the Nea-
politan Government have refused to compensate
Park and Watt. The King and his advisers also
refuse„ the proposed mediation of a second-rate
-rower, such as Sweden ; but Naples would not
object to subject the question of the Cagliari to the
arbitration of a first-rate Power. It will be seen
therefore that the propositions of England and Sar-
dinia have failed. Naples would like to call upon
Austria to arbitrate, and it is easy toguess the result.
Even this mode of treating the question, according
to the views of the Neapolitan Cabinet, ought not
to be put in practice until the State Trials at Salerno
are finished ; and they may be carried on for months
or years. Meanwhile the known-to-be-innocent
Piedmontese crew may slowly expire in prison,
whilst the demands of England are treated with
contempt. The King lately told a foreign Minister
that he was quite prepared to defend himself at
Gaeta.
