Pima, or High Admiral, to take possession of Alex-
midria. Rosetta, and Damietta, aid to collect the nee-
ones-of Egypt by him. The PACIIA of Egypt, however,
does not appear to be intimidated by this lodina-
tion. He has. we are informed, a pretty stoat
naval force of his own, and if the High Admiral
should chase to go far beyond his usual cruise
in the Archipelairo, it is not unlikely be may
experience a reception mach more warm than friendly.
The PAcNA of Egypt is a man of much intelligence
and entorprise, and has greatly improved the commerce
sad civilisation of his territory. He has re-opened, or
rather newly formed the Canal of Alexandria, (of which
we expect to be soon enabled to give a particular descrip-
tion,) and thus established • commodious intercourse
between that important harbour and the Nile. He is
active in cultivating the arts of pears ; and in conjure-

A meeting of the Committee appointed to promote
a subscription for liqsidating the fine imposed wpm
Sir FS VIM BURDETT took place last night at the
Crown and Anchor, and, we understand. was vet,
numerously attended. Other respectable bodies
la the City as well as in Westminster, we also
learn, are coming forward in this business; and we
expect soon to announce the appointment of MO-
titer public meeting, of a distinguished character
which will greatly accelerate the ends in view. A.

the salience adder which Sir Psalms Is at

seffering, is on mount of a cause that is cosmos to an
the friends of political rights and of humanity
is &liked, we are prepared to expect that every
one will be earnest to contribute his countenance and
his aid its promoting the objects of the Committee.
To meet this idea it is desirable that the contribntioas
should be u extensive as possible; and to accomplish
the aim effectually, it is necessary that they should be
prompt. It is in the power of Liovernment to defeat,
in seine degree, the tell is view, by as immediate levy
of the See. Care therefore should be taken to antici-
pate any suds design on the part of his pro•ectstore,
and to render the intentions of Li+ friends complete.

Now, when the People of England can turn from
domestic broils to foreign aggressions, now is the time
to call their attention to the unmeasnred tyranny of the
tontinential despots. Liberty they hate, justice they
abhor; swoln with pride, and stimulated by cruelty,
they enjoy the sounds of the shackles which they impose
upon mankind. When these ferocious beings, like
nee/tussled bloodhounds, threaten the peace of society.
and wage destruction against principle ; when they cry
havoc sod let slip the doge of war, it heroines the eldest
born of the sons of freedom to raise their voices against
these enemies of social order and social happiness
Horrible indeed is the condition of England, when two
of its Ministers can hear with calmness the declaration
of the foes of the batman race—when they ran condemn
the noble patriotism of the Neapolitans, because they
had not in addresses remonstrated against their niers,
and because their enemies, forsooth, may not aggrandise
themselves by territorial acquisitions ; as if laves could
Petition without punishment, soil tyrants way desolate
and destroy, if they do not extend their dominions. I
Patriotism and justice are now declared to be crimes:
tyranny and oppression are pronounced as virtues;
and death and destruction are threatened by the ban-
ilnk of power. if the Neapolitans will not succumb to
the wishes of their oppressors. The law of the sword
is declared to be the standard of amelioration ; aad
subjects meet yield to the will of their tyrants, until
their tyres*, are kind enough to break the bonds they
forge. it has been gravely asserted, that there is an
exception to the rale, that no state may interfere in
the internal government of another state; bat the
exception. if there be any, is in favour of the liberties
of the people, and not against them.—(Alfred.)

that protection, both immediate and permanent, which
