The following particulars respecting the trade Of
Egypt, may tend TO alay what apprebensions have
been excited by the introduction of the cotton OF
that country into the European market.
The export trade of Egyp, is engrosed wholly
by the Vicerey, who is in fact the monopozer of
all the productions Of the SOIL These principally
consist of moho, and short staple cotton linseeti,
beans, wheat, barley, len,ils, indigo, saower, flax,
rice, SIENNA, opium, and immense quantity OF
buffalo hides. The moho, or long staple cotton, has
particularly attracted the notice of the manufacu-
rers N England, and several British establishments
have consequently been formed at Alexandria, un--
der the idea OF finding scope tor capital and indus
try in trade, which if not founded upon recipro-
Cal and European principles, might still, least Of
fer the advantage ofbartet by the exchange of manu-
featured goods for the cotton.
which cripple the persevering spirit enterprise in
Egypt; but TO correct the sanguike notions that
have been entertained, it is sufficient to advert 10
the circumstance we have alluded to- that the
Pacha is the monopozer of the moho cotton; and,
consequently, having the power, finds il his inter-
est not only TO restrict its cultivation but 10 keep
up its price Were the Government only monoi-
pozer at the shipping port, still something like
export trade might rest with individuals; but the
Pacha is not only the grower in fact, but also the
sole exporter ofcoton 10 all the markets of Europe.

goods consigned TO recently established houses,

and accept of freight from tie Pacha's agent;
and that specie to avery large amount after having
been kept at Alexandra for some time, to purchase
cotton at a fair price, has been returned 10 Malta

the Pacha, and he heavy shipments on his account,

Italian CONFERENCE.-The journal dea
Debats OF May 20, contains the following extract
of private letter, dated at Milan, May 49,
Since the solemn entry OF the Emperor and
Empress OF Austria, this city has assumed an ami
mated appearance. The august personages invited
to meet here ne in succession. The King and
Queen OF Naples, the Duchess of Parma, and the
Grand Duchess of Tuscany, are already within our
walls. II is not known when the King of Sardinia
will arrive, or whether he will arrive. We as
sured that the conferences between the CbanceoT
of Austria, and the Ambassadors OF France, Russia
Prussia and England, will begin about the LIST June
Other conferences will be held between HIM and the
Ministers of State of Naples, Tuscany, Parma,
AIodena and Sardinia, II which time the Cardinal,
representing the Holy Father in quality oil Am.
bAssador Extraordinary, will assist.
I" These double conferences appear 10 have dis
tinct objects. One is the projected arrangement
with regard to the Greeks and the Ottoman Porte
an arrangement doubly desirable, since well in
formed and impartial men satisfied OF the re-
cprocai inability OF the parties war to ter
inmate their contest the second object is, il is be-
lieved an Italian confederation like that OF Germany,
on the nature and effects of which, there are many
and various opinions. 1t is hoped that the marks
/ of devotion which the Italians give 10 the en-
peror and his august family, will induce HIM to
nounce those measures of rigour which have fallen
upon many distinguished men Of this country NJ.
dc Metternich, they write 10 US from Paris, has
said several times. that the Italians shall be soon
made content This minister cannot be ignorant
that the return Of many Industrious prisoners to
the bosom OF their families, would be he uni
versal source OF content"
On this project Of an Italian confederation, the
Journal DIES Debats makes the following just re,
marks:-
! "If the different powers, between whom the
beautiful soil OF Italy is divided, will bring together.

fraction OF the grand Italian family; If they will
abolish those lines of cusion-houses which, like so
many walls of brass, separate towns whose steeples
NAV be seen from one another; II they will reani-
mate, by free commerce, the internal prosperity
of a country so lavoured by nature; IL they will
establish with regard 10 their external commerce
general system, uniting the interests oil each part; il
they will adopt Italian flag, and, by uniting the
efforts Of their several marines, will make that flag
respected by the Barbary powers, the Italian con
federation will be received as benefit, from the
! Alps TO the foot of Mount XEtna. The Legitimate
tlsones win be confirmed upon the base Oi the
love Of their people.
:" But if prepondefaiing foreign power is 10

orship which two powers now divide between

they may contend for with arms; it a commission
of central police is 10 repress every effort OF national
spirit; If Turin and Naples are to receive from
! Milan the niperious orders which shall draw the
limit TO kings of the concessions which they shall
grant to their ople,--then the project OF q
federation, so far from rendering the Italians con-
tented, will give dissatisfaction TO them and to
| other nations.
France has a right to demand that the govern

foreign domination The Boufhons who reign al
Naples, are the natural political allies OF those who
