Correspondence Of the Herald


The rumoar that Admiral Stodford had orders to
seize French transports of supplies proved false
That he had blockaded Alexandria, On the lst inst,
also proved erroneous. So far from any Of these
things taking place, it now appears by his
municstion to the merchants of Alexandra, that he
is without any immediate orders whate and knows
no more of what is going to be DONE thar they do
themselves but at the saae time, tells them TO be
on their guard He paid complimentary visit to
Mehemet Ali, who gave him gracious reception.
and invited him to dine with him. But Mehemet
Ali was taken with the belly ache, or some other
sudden disorder, and could not eat chops with the
Admiral-who not long after sailed with two ships
of the fleet, it was sad to put curb bride Com
modore Napier Thirteen days after the fret pro-
posal Of the four powers, Mehemet sened all the
bearded and swarthy Sheiks and Chiefs of Egypt
and his Arabian possessions and told them what had

One thing is certain, this T0rcs .Egypi.aa oues
