The viceroy or pacha of Egypt, in prosecuting his scheme of conquering of the country on the Upper Nile, will probably be the means of furnishing the world with much information about the interior of Africa.

HAYTI. Our trade with this important island is increasing and after that which we have with Great Britain, France, Spain and their dependencies, it is, perhaps, more valuable to us than any other-taking off a large amount of the products of our fields and forests, and latterly receiving considerable quantities of our manufactures. In the estimation of Edwards, the geographer and historian of the West Indies, the plains alone are capable of producing more sugar and other valuable commodi. ties than all the British West India islands put together. The population is rapidly increasing and knowledge is diffusing and, if the government Shall remain stable and continue to be administered as it now is, a powerful and wealthy nation will spring up in a few years.

THE LAWS! A London paper of the 18th of June contains the article that follows.

The Fasces is ornamented with two bass-relievos, the one on the south front representing the The distresses in Ireland increase So great is the want of food, that a bullock, which died of a mortification, and the flesh of which had become putrid, was actually dug up and devoured on the fourth day after it was buried in the ground several feet deep to prevent infection! Nothing can be conceived more horrible than this. Hundreds die daily-the hospitals are filled with the sick; but the prospect of the harvest is favorable, and subscriptions in England for the relief of the people, amount to nearly 200,0007. In the British house of commons, a motion was brought forward by Mr. Lennard, having in view the recognition of the independence of the South American states. Lord Londonderry said, that out of respect to Spain, he would not side with the South Americans at present, further than by culti. vating a friendly intercourse with the southern states, while they remained, de facto, a government; he should, therefore, oppose the motion. It was lost by a majority of 35. battle of North Point and the death of the British general Ross, and the other on the north front, a battery of Fort McHenry, at the moment of the bombardment. On the two other fronts, east and west, are Lacrymal Urns, emblems of regret and tears. On the top are bound two wreaths, one of laurel, and one of cypress; the first expressive of glory, the second, sepulchral and mourning. On the square base, are the inscriptions in letters of brass. This part is supported by a square Egyptian base ment, this style being especially consecrated to tombs. Each of the four angles of the cornice is decorated with a Griffin with an eagle's head, (as an emblem of the United States), because this hieroglyphic having been dedicated to the sun, and often employed by the ancients in the front of their temples, has become the emblem of glory and veneration. Each centre of the Egyptian cornice is adorned with a winged globe. The globe represents eternity, and the wings time, which flies. On each of the four fronts of the basement is a false door, in the antique style, closed with a single tablet of black mar.
