We have accounts from Alexandria of a recent date. They eon.
firm the report ghat the troops of the Pacha had made no movement
in the furtherance of the views of France against Algiers. Accord.
ing to these accounts, a treaty of alliance between France and
Egypt was on the point of being signed, add all the conditions
were agreed on, but orders issued from the cabinet of Windsor put
' a stop to these negotiations, in consequence of which Mehemet Afi
has relinquished all idea of making any settlement in one or more
of the Barbary regencies. Already several Egyptian vessels had
tkeir provisions on board, and the embarkation of the troops was to
have taken place. Nevertheless, many persons are of opinion,
that Mehemet will still pursue his original designs, and that
he will not retreat, after having incurred the principal part of the
expense necessary for an expedition. Ibrahim Pack*, the son of
Ali Pacha, is actively superintending the works going on at Alex.

to the Porte, whenever the times are favourable, or he may feel him-
self strong enough to ensure its success.
By the Jamaica Packet which arrived at Falmouth on Thursday.
we learn that the King oeSpain has demanded from the President
Boyer a restitution of part of Spanish San Domingo. This demand
having been treated with contempt, the quixotic spirit of the Spa-
niards has prompted them to attempt an expedition from Cuba to
enforce the demand ; but the Haytians were quite competent to re-
sist any effort of the kind. To this new difficulty of Ferdinand isl
to be added a quarrel with his relations, the Kings of France and
Naples, the Ptince of Lucca, and the Dukel of Parma; and all the
Bourbon princes have protested against the decree of the King of
Spain, abrogating the Salic law, In contravention of the family com-
