trade to a different channel. Alexandria is situated at the W. extremity of the Egyptian coast, on the borders of the Lybian desert, upon a neck of land, between the sea and lake Mareotis. It communicates with the Nile by a canal, which also supplies the city with water. The old town is partly inclosed with walls nearly six miles in circumference; but the ruins of the ancient city can be traced over three times that circuit. Pompey's pillar is 94 or 95 feet high, composed of 3 pieces of the finest granite, one for the pedestal, another for the shaft, and the third for the capital. The mean diameter is 7 feet 9 inches. The two obelisks, one thrown down and the other standing, vulgularly called Cleopatra's Needles, are each 58 feet 6 inches high, and the breadth of the base is 7 feet. They are composed each of a single block of granite, and entirely covered with hieroglyphics.

The reservoirs with which ancient Alexandria was supplied with water, excavated the whole ground upon which that city stood. A conduit, from the canal of Cleopatra, extended the whole length of the city, conducting the water into the cisterns. The catacombs begin at the extremity of the old city, and extend along the coast; they consist of small sepulchral grottos cut in the rock, which is a soft calcareous substance; the interior of the galleries is plastered with mortar, difficult to break; each cavity contained three coffins piled over each other. New Alexandria is built chiefly along the coast. The population has been estimated as high as 20,000, though the settled residents may not exceed 5,000. Turks compose the officers of government and the garrison; the Copts are numerous, but held in contempt. The mercantile transactions are in the hands of the Jews. The approach from the W. is difficult, the Lybian shore being a dead flat, presenting no object perceptible at a distance. The first land-mark is two eminences, with a tower on each, called Aboukir. There are two harbors, the old and the new the old harbor is safe, and affords a sufficient depth of water; the new is shallow, has a rocky bottom, and is exposed to the N. winds, which blow with great violence.
