EGYPT

Our express from Alexandri_,
brings the gratifying intelligence that-
t
had all left the harbour, and set sail f
under, the orders of Admiral Walker. The British steamer
Stromboli, and the Egyptian steamer Nile, bad been conti-
nuously employed during the 19th, 20th, and 21st of Ja-
nuary, in towing them outside the reef. The greatest acti-

by the 0

armorice,

vity and co-opertion prevailed in the work, insomuch that
the fleet was under sail in ten days after the firman was read
for its xestoration : one half of the time in which the Egyp-
tian Admiral declared it possible to accomplish it, and one-
sixth of the period in which the Turkish and• English officers
expected it. Six vessels sailed out on the first day; after
which Mazloum Bey (the new Turkish commissioner) deli-

stating that the Porte had granted the request made by its
'lies to confirm Mehemet Ali in the hereditary pashalic of

to ratify this co,. ..cis expected to follow, as soon as it
was known at Constantinople that the fleet had arrived at
Marmorice. Ou the evening of the 21st of January, only
Admiral Walker's flag-ship Nusretieh (the victorious) re-
mained in the harbour ; and that was preparing to sail out on
the morning of the 23d of January, together with the Sultan's

rahiri Bahri, bearing the Turkish Commissioner
bum Bey, who returns forthwith to Constantinople.
The Pasha was about to visit Cairo and his estates in the
Delta, in which such mismanagement and defalcation had
lately been discovered. He had granted free permission to
the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Company to introduce
their steam-boats on the Nile for the conveyance of their
passengers between Rosetta and Cairo, and bad, meantime,

Lord HOLLAi•Ib took the oaths and his seat

The Earl of MINTO, in pursuance of notice, moved the
thanks of the house to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.B.
and the officers and men employed under his command in
the late operations on the coast of Syrid. His lordship paid
a just tribute to the merit of this portion of the British fleet,
but most illogically inferred that because
