Accounts from Alexandria of the end of Au-
gust, state that Major Craddock was personally well re-
ceived at Cairo; he bad dined with the Pacha, but could
obtain no satisfactory answer respecting his future conduct.
Nis reply is reported to have been simply that the Egyp-
tian fleet had sailed ; and that, with regard to the further
operations against Greece, he could say nothing, as he was
the subject of the Sultan. Major Craddock left Alexan-
dria the 26th of August, for Smyrna, and is supposed to
have gone from the latter place to Navarino, though it was
given out that he was proceeding to Constantinople. A
number of merchant vessels had been detained at Alexandria
for Some time by contrary winds, but they were expected
to sail, shortly after the date or these letters, for Marseilles.

MR. C.ANNlNG.—Bartolini, the celebrated
sculptor, of Florence, has written to a Nobleman in this
country, to propose that a vase, which he was engaged iu
executing, in honour of the memory of Napoleon, migt be
appropriated to the memory of Mr. Canning. The vase is
unfinished; and as the devices with which it was intended
to decorate it were not sculptured, ornaments suitable to
the character and fame of Mr. Canning might be added.
Bartolini's letter bears a prior date to the advertisement of
the monument projected by some Noblemen and Gentle-
men in this country. His proposal is, that a thousand sub-
scribers, at two guineas each, should be entered as candi-
dates for the vase, and that it should be disposed of by
lottery. The vase is twelve feet in height, and upwards
of forty in circumference, and is described by those who
have seen it, even in its uncompleted state, as a beautiful
piece of sculpture, worthy the reputation of the eminent
artist entrusted with its execution. This information may
serve as an acceptable suggestion to those who take a lead
in the national monument intended to be erected in honour
of Mr. Canning.

Important improvements have 'been lately made in
steam navigation on the St. Lawrence. Letters are now
transmitted from Montreal to Quebec, and answers re-

Licut.-Colonel Bouchette, Surveyor-Gencral, . had re-
turned from a tour of survey on the eastern'part of the dis-
trict of Quebec. We understand he has collected much
useful, statistical, and general information, which we,hope
will be given to the public. The Colonel was well re-•
ceived, and met with every assistance from Seigneurs and
Gentlemen of the Clergy, in the execution of the duty on
which he was employed. Colonel Bouchette reports the
existence of a deep and extensive bed of iron ore, of
a superior quality, in the parish of Saint Urban,
Saint Paul's Bay, which from its vicinity to the city,
being only twenty leagues distant, promises great
advantages for the future establishment of forges.—
The Surveyor-General will immediately proceed tb the
western part of the Montreal district, on a similar mission.
Captain Bayfield, of the Navy, whose arrival we an-
nounced, is appointed with Lieut. Collins, to survey the
St. Lawrence; for this purpose a fast-sailing 'schooner has
been hired for three years, to be in readiness to commence
on the 20th May next: The survey, we suppose, will ex-
tend to the Gulf, many parts of the river below the island
of Orleans, and part of the North Channel, as far as the
Saguenay, now little known, although, during the posses-
sion of the colony by the French, it wag practised
is the only navigable channel. From Saguenay down-
wards, the north shore offers many difficulties. The
shoals extend several leagues out, and many ship-
wrecks have occurred on them. A complete and correct
chart is much called for ; and, from Capt. Bayfield's abili-
ties, we are warranted in expecting such a chart. This
survey will afford the province an excellent opportunity of
obtaining information for the placing light-houses on the
river, which the importance of shipping intereste, and the
complaints, now make the more necessary.
It is reported in Canada that a discovery has been made
that four men had found a silver mine in Canada, in the
Upper Province, which they have worked for the last two
years with profit and advantage. Three of them are Ame-
ricans, and one an Englishman. The secret was divulged
in consequence of a dispute between the parties.
The Canada Land Company have given notice that they
intend to expend 45,0001. in opening roads and making
other public improvements on their immense tracts of land,

We learn that the Conventions between Great Britain
and the United States have been received at the Depart-
' ment of State, which were concluded and signed in the early
part of the last month, a few days before Mr. Canning's
death, by Mr. Gallatin and Messrs. Grant and Adding.
ton ; by one of them, the third article of the Convention of
1818, which stipulates the joint occupation 'of the country
beyond the Stoney Mountains, is continued ; and by the other,
the Commercial Convention of 1815, which was continued
by the above-mentioned Convention of 1818, is further
continued, the duration of the Convention of 1818,
having been limited for ten years, which would have ex-
pired on the 20th October, 1828. On that day the exist-
ing Commercial Convention, and the article respecting the
country beyond the Rocky Mountain, would have terminated,'
but for the recent Conventions. They are now. to continue
indefinitely, as to time, each party reserving the right to
put an end to either of them upon twelve months' notice
given to the other party.
A severe shock of an earthquake took place at La Guayra,
on the 2d-September.
FROM ST. THOMAS'S.—The accounts from this Island
continue to be of the most melancholy nature ; the gale of
the 21st August is stated to hare been more violent than
that which took place in 1772 ; the injury dome to agri-
culture is of immease extent, owing to the destruction of
the cane, which had been very promising ; the damage to
the buildings bad also been great. Advices from St.
Kitt's describe the storm as being dreadful; in con-
sequence of the injury, the Commander-in-Chief of
the Island of St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, and Virgin
Islands, had issued a proclamation, dated the 27th of
August, from which it appears that vessels of all nations
will'be admitted for the term of three months from that
date, loaded with lumber and provisions of all sorts.
MEXICAN SQUADRON.—It appears Commodore Porter
had been ordered by the Collector at Key West to leave
that. port, and it appears he had sailed from thence fur
Pensacola ; the Spanish blockading squadron had pre-
viously left for Havannah. Commodore Porter is at the
Bay of St. Louis or New Orleans. These papers contain
long accounts of the late dreadful gales on the coast, and
the melancholy destruction of ships and property in conse-
quence,
