The Swiss Diet, in one of its recent sittings, dis-
cussed the question of the commercial relations of the
Confederation.. The deputies of Zurich and the other
eastern Cantons manifested a wish to have Switzerland
form part of the German Customs Union, but the ma-
jority of the Cantons warmly rejected the proposition.
A letter from Alexandria, dated the 26th ult., says :
—" Mehemet Ali, who is still here, has determined upon
sending M. Major, one of the Arabs who havo been edu-
' cited in Paris, into Europe, to study the constructicn
of steam-engines and other machinery. M. Major will
go first into Germany, although he is not acquainted
with the language of the country," •
