The following is an extract of a letter teceived from
Corfu., dated Feb. 2,4 th •• fire Phironfel arrived-here
yestert!ay, from Alexan.'ria, with divpatches front Co.,
hind Cradoc::, which refer to the special mission epos,
which that Officer is employed. The Galatea, 42, Cap.
i.ain Si. Charles. Sullivan, after visiting, Algiers, Tunis,
and Tripoli, with a view to de'ach them irom further
hostile steps against the Greeks, pfoceeded to Malta,
where she took on board Sir Frederick .Adam Aird
Colonel Cradock,than) to to convey tha Motion, with a
view of obtaining an intervkw with Ibrahim Pacha,
and to induce him to evacuate the Mares, on
the ground that, in the event csf a Tar, his army
would inevitably be destroyed. Ibrahim, too wily
to act on his own responsibility, referred Sir Fre-
derick to his father. The Galatea, in consequence, crossed
the Maditerranean with Colonel Cradock, and reached
Alexandria on the 10th February. Mohammed Pacha,
the Governor of Egypt, immediately granted an
audience, and received Col. Cradock and the Officers
of the Galatea and Philornel (which latter ve.sel had
been previously cruising Oa' the port) with the utmost
attention and courtesy, presenting them profusely
with refreshments of coffee and sherbet; and re.
wetting that he could not 'speak English. His
countenance is described to be of the most benevolent
expression. To the application made to him that
his troops should return to Egypt, be answered that
nothing would give him more pleasure than the grant-
ing of Colonel Cradock's reque3t, but that being a
subject
.only of the
.Sublime Porte, he could act only
under its enders; that he would immediately dispatch a
Tartar for instructions (which he did), bet to which he
could hive no answer under a month. The Galatea,
consequently remained at Alexandria for
.the ultimate
decision of the Egyptian Pacha. -Pending the negocia•
