The accountsfrom Alexandria of the progress of the cultivation of Cotton in Egypt-ieem almost fa bulous. They agree in saying that the crop of 1823, which has been forwarded, up to this time, will equal 200,000 French quintals, and that the crop of 1824 will be double tint amount, whieh ia equivalent to 115,000 hales of Louisia na cotton. This cotton is long staple and strong and sells for 28 sous at Marseilles and for 31 at this place, and at these prices, we should sup pose, leave a good profit to those who have bought it at the rate fixed by the Pacha, who no doubt derives also a profit from what he has Charged for them. The cotton from Egypt must be expected to make an alteration in the price* of the article generally. •‘Rice remains inactive ot 30 a '1 francs.” FROM THE PAC1PIC.—The Colop, at Ros- ton,'from Valparaiso, brings late accounts from the Pacific, but they furnish nothing of particu lar importance. The small vessels of the U «. squadron, and the Franklin 74, sailed from Vat- para;so in company with the C. bound to Lima* The U S. frigate United States, had previously sailed for the same place, in consequence of a letter from the American ship masters, who were at Callao, at the time of the mutiny among the black troop*, calling upon Capt. Hull for as. aistance Callao had been declared in a stale of blockade by Admiral Guise Letters have been received from the U. 8. ship Peacock, at Rio Janeiro, where she arrived May 9, in 39 daya from Norfolk. On arriving she saluted the forts and naval flags, which was re turned. Lord Cochran, Admiral in Chief 0 f the Brasilian Navy, visited the ship, an 1 wa< receiv ed with a salute. Except one or two instances of slight indisposition, the crew were in excel lent health. Two of the men wounded by light ning, had recovered, and two were convales cent. The King of Portugal’s birth-day had been celebrated in fine style, notwithstanding the two nation* are at war. The Peacock sailed for Valparaiso about May 23. The officers had heard of the arrival of the frigate United States, at Val paraiso. In consequence of Commodore Rodgers be. ing about to leave the United States on distant service, a number of his friends and acquaintan ces at Washington, in testimony of their high respect, have determined to invite him to a pub lie dinner on the 22d inst. The President of the United States left Wash ington City on the 16th inst. with his fmamtly on a short visit to his teat in Loudon count; Vir- B 1 ”* LATEtaUMBNGLAND- By tlie arrival at Pliiladetpnia, of the packet ship Alexander, accounts from Liverpool to the morning of the 9fh June have been received: By the Paris Ktoile of the 4th June, received in London by express, it appears that the French Ministers have been unexpectedly beaten in the Chamber of Peers, where the financial law was rejected by a majority considerably larger than could have been anticipated. The number is variously stated; some accounts making it 35; others 34, and others, again only 15. The loss of the measure, however, is certain, and the con sequence was an immediate fall In the Rentes of above two per cent. At the time the Express left they were done as low as 103f. 10c They had begun at I04f 25c. Varloua reports, were, of course, in circulation, and among other things it was aaid that s change of ministers would be the first consequence of this defeat. We be lieve, however, that the best informed parties do not calculate fully upon the result. The following is the manner in which the great financial operation was to have been car ried into effect if the ministry had succeeded:— •‘The operation shall be successively ef fected by fifths upon each port ion of rentes; each fifth may be appropriated to the con version ot liquidation in the quarter which follows that in which the operation shall have been effected, for anothei fifth. "To provide for the liquidation of each fifth, the Minister will open a loan upon the new funds, in 3 per cents and 4 per cents, by the medium of public bidding. “The‘5 percents will be received io pay* m-nt at par, and by reference <m taux o’- ttdjudication. “The surplus of the funds will be suppli- ed by he capitalists admitted by sdjudica tion, tn charge ’hemselves wi'.ti the pay* ments which may be required ” ENGLAND AND ALGIERS. GENOA, May 19. •'Captain G B Coxiota, commaudia^ the brig Dolphin,under English colours which has arrived in this port from Gibraltar -tates, that after the arrival of an English f.igate it waareported, that the differences between Algiers and England had been adjusted, tne Algerines having submitted in all the conditions presented by the En* glish.” RUS3IA AND THE UNITED STATES. ST PE TERSBURG, May 15. M Our differences with the United States •f North America, respecting the north west coast of the American Continent, are now settled by the exertions of the Diplrmatic Commissioners, nominated for that purpose to the entire satisfaction of the respective States whose relations are replaced on the most friendly footing. SPAIN—SCARCITY OF GRAIN. Letters received in Lonr on on the 4th June from Madrid, are dated the 20th of May. They represeut that the decree of amnesty had excited an intense interest in M itlrid—the Royalist volunteers are by no meai'S satisfied with the exceptions, for they hate the very name of meacy. A com mittee formed from ex-members of the in 'tisitioo is sittiug day and night to make out a catalogue of prohibited books, and an order haB be-n issued fur all persons who w tre formerly employed under the French administration and who are now unemploy ed, to quit the country without delay. The Bayonne advices of the 24th May assert that no Grain of any description is allowed to quit Madrid, where a great air- prehension of scarcity, if not of actual fa mine generally prevailed. It is stated that a Spanish Colonel has been arrested, who was endeavoring to raise the people, anti that the Infant Don Carlos is connected with the troubles in Portugal. The amnesty of Kf.g Ferdinand, with its copious schedule of exceptions,has been made public, and is in truth, a proscription of the most sanguinary and rigorous char* acter, embracing within its range, if not the whole people, undoubtedly the s/hole of the intelligent part of the nation. The intelligence from Lisbon is little more than a recapitulation of our former accounts. The crisis, however, is over, and the King has resumed the full exercise of his authority He landed on the 15th ult. amid the acclamations of his subjects, and great rejoicing took place in conse quence. The competition among the steam-boats, Clyde and Belfast, just now, is such that the voyage may be made for only five pence. The consequence is, that crowds pass over from the si*<er kingdom. On the 5th of June a public meeting was held in Liverpool, “for the piirpos*. of petitioning his majesty’s ministers, to ad vise the King in Council, to recognize such siasftd perhaps—to the memory, of this ex traordioary man, when viewed in Paris, in connexion with the kindred feeling it excites, cannot fail to carry some impor tant indications with it to reflective politi- cans. In many points of view such an ex hibition is interesting Monsieur Casimir DeUvigne, so well known by his literary productions, particularly by his Ecole de Vieitlards, has Just finished his Mnnotly on his death. Its publication is looked for impatiently. One of the most distinguish ed sculptors in Paris is likewise engaged, at this moment, in modelling a bust of him in the finest marble. Such tributes paid to departed Genius, are alike honorable to the B net of England, and to the patriots of Vance. In a sermon recently preached-by the Rev. Win. J«v,of Bath, from 1 Peter i. 24, 25,the preacher,to noticing the death of an individual, said, ' O Byron ! O Byron ! thy death brought this text to my remem brance. O Byron! thy premature full gave rise to these solemn reflections. Who can help lamenting the pet verse and unhallow ed use of thy stupendous powers! W ho can think, unmoved of the vigour of thy intellect—the riches of thy imagination— thy breathless sublimities ofconception and expression ! Who cau think unmoved of the going down of such a sun at noon ! of a genius, that might have ranked with a Milton, quenched forever, and leaving so much to admire—so much to deplore—so much to abhor! No knell of departed S eat ness has ever more solemnly sounded ith this sentiment—‘All flesh is as grass. ■•>d all glory of the man as the flower of the grass; withereth, and the flower there of fadet’i away.” rates were discovered, who, however, made such a desperate resistance, that they died of their wounds stthn afte* being apprehen ded, and they Were buried in the same place.

Among the officer of government of that Island, we are assured, there has been eve ry where the greatest vigilance and promp tness in the suppression of piracy, and; without their aid, and the lititudegiven to Commodore Porter by them in permitting him to land in pursuit of pirates, as well as the many facilities alluded in other res pects, he would not have been able to suc ceed, as he has done, in putting down Pira cy.— Mtt.Int.

Mr Dallas, Lord Byron’s first literary friend, is in possesion of some very inter esting papers, relative to the earliest per iod of jnis lordship’s youth, and it is his in tention to favor the public with them. A letter of rerent date from Paris *ays, —“The death of Lord Byron is still deeply felt; the idolaters of hi* fame ere here as n i tterous as in England.

He came to Havana by Al varado. having left the last named place on the' 28th ult.—Nothing was known in Mex ico of Iturbide’s having sailed from Eng land. The American brig Liberty, My rick, and schr. Macdooough, Byan, were still under detention at Alvarado. Troops wete daily expected at Havana from Old Spain, and a frigate, two cor vettes, and two brig*, were in waiting at that place, to take them to the Castle of St. Juan de Ulua. The French frigate Jean D’Arc, sailed from Havana on the 19th inst. having under convoy, Spanish and other vessel* The cargo of the brig Mercator, which was captured some time since by pirates, had been sent to Matanzas in droghers, and was there seized by the government. Nothing was known, certainly of the fate of the crew—the vessel, it wa9 reported had been sunk in Seguassa Bay. It will be recollected that we recently received, by the way of Jamaica, £14 olt." accounts of a successful expedition against the pirates in the Isle of Pines, ana that Capt. Graham, of the Icarus, had remain* ed on the Island, for the purpose of putting a thrmination to that nest of desperadoes. The Diario del Gobierno, of the 17th inst. received by the abave arrival, contains two official papers on this subject, publish ed by ordeer of Governor Vives.—The one is from D- Juan Duarte, the captain of party sent against the pirates in that Isle, dated the 1st of June—and the other from Capt.
