There have been, as our Readers must have ob. s erved, several rumours circulated about changes in the Administration. We learn from respectable au thority that, pub vs as a compliment of gratitude, k was lately intimated to the Duke of Wriuscros, that arrangements could be made to bring the Mar (Os of WELLESLEY into place. This propositicn, vhith waa submitted to the latter Nobleman, we un anivind, was declincd, but we have not heard whe ther any or what reason was assigned. It will be seen from the Proclamation of General MAITLAND, in his capacity of Governor of the lonian Hands, that some attempts bad been wade to dis quiet the inhabitants by claims founded on the Con. stitation of 1803, which bad been set aside by the late Treaty of Paris till a new Constitution should be prepared for all the Islands. In the mean time, it had been settled that the existing Constitutions of the several Islands should continue in force for the main. tenance of order, but the discharged Members of the Senate at Corfu, discontented with this arrangement, have been maintaining that no Constitution could be ii► force but that of 1803. The General's temperate Proclamation is well calculated to repress every effect likely to be produced by these pretensions. The Paris Papers of Sunday reached us this morn ing They contain a very interesting official narra tive of the late outrage perpetrated by the Algtrines upon our unoffending countrymen. The account, which drawn up by the British Vice-Consul in Sicily, will be read by every Briton with feelings of no common description.—Let us hope that the period is at hand in which the power of these detestable miscreants, whose existence as acknowledged Govern ments has so long been a disgrace to Britain and to all Europe, will be entirtly annihilated. We hope there is not a Minister or a nun in this country who will ever dire to neguciatc or recommend a cumpro. mist of any kind with the tyrants who claim the tight to rule over the Northern Coast of Africa. Only yesterday eve laid before our Readers a letter from Genoa of the :Mat ultimo, stating, that several vessels, without a soul on board, had been met with at sea, and Car: ied into the lonian Isles by a British vessel. Among these were two Sp mish•builr, one believed to be Englir,h, and a French tartane. It is not doubted that the clews have either been cat ried into slavery or drowned by Barbary Corsairs.—Such acts cannot be longer endured on any ground what. ever. How are they to be terminate ? Only by rooting out entirely the nests in whivb these robbers take shelter with their booty, by seizing on every one of their harbours, and keeping possession of them. We are happy to announce that the preparations for the saiiinti of the fleet which is about to hurl ven geance on these lawless miscreants, are nearly com• Flew. The ships are fully manned, and the crews are all in high spirits. It is known that the Alg-rines can make some resistance, their harbours being pro. hcted by very strong batteries ; but the bravery of our countrymen may be relied upon to command success. Other Powers, we are happy to observe, are taking their share in an enterprize equally tote resting. LAters of the 17th ult. from Gibraltar in form us,that the Dutch Admiral Baron CAPELLIDIyhad jostreturned thither I torn off A lgiers, with his squadron . He was in the Bay of Algiers several days, recoil. noitri , g the fortress aTid endeavourirg to induce some Algerine ships to come out from under their batteries to fi.;ht him. A tremendous fire was opened upon him, and kept up fur almost two days, without doing the least injury, although a vast number of shells went over his ships. Some of his boats were manned to cut oat, during the night, an Algerine brig, when about 40 or 50 gun-boats, armed with long 36 and '24. pi.onders, filed out of Vie harbour, came to her pro rtaion, and exhausted all their ammu.lition in the wildest manner, without occasioning to the Dutch any loss whatever. Admiral, we learn, has since been reinforced at Gibraltar by the AmsTEr., a fine frigate ; and is ii.qt.g for tie arrival of two line-of-battle ships and t7igate from Holland. He is, however, most likely soon to sail again to compel the Algerines to remain at home or to fight hira at sea. One of his frigates sprung a leak; but ht has now again four fine fri gates and a sloop fit for service. _ The French Papers allude to the detection of a fresh conspiracy, the correspondence connected with wlit4ll has been carrying on by means of sympathetic' ink, which became visible on holding the letters to the fire. They must be ignorant nun indeed who could believe that this simrlc device could long re., Win uodiscovercd. PAPtitgs • RECEIVED ?HIS MORNING: uutlnlta EXTRAORDINARY ON' SUNDAY MditltlVO6 An Officer of Cuirassiers yesterday arrested, on the Place du Carousel, an officer on half-pay, for uttering some outrageous expressions against the King. A Frenet vessel from Cyprus has entered the port of Marseilles. A Barbary corsair had given chaee to her between Tunis and Sardinia ; but ceased the pursuit the instant she hoisted the white fag. Notwithstanding the bad weather, which has' listed for several weeks, but which seems to have ceased within the last two days, the reports from the country are not displeasing, so far as the harvest is concerned. The corn has not suffered, and the vines look well. Letters from Frankfort state, that the new Constl; ilLion of that city is in the press, and will be pub lished in a few days. The Duke del Marque, the Spanish • Ambassador to Vienna, has left Paris for his destination. PARIS, JULY 14. The three conspirators who were condemned to transportation, hut who have not appealed, will be immediately tiansierred to the depot of Clermont, Oise, until they can be sent beyond seas These are Dervin, DesbaunTs, and Warin, who exhibit resig nation, or rather a perfect indifference. Charles, the Printer, exhibits a great character.— He endeavours to obtain for his sou .the transter of his privilege as printer. Lefranc, who had grown old in revolutions, and whose life has been a tissue of extraordinary advt.'s. tures, regards, without dismay, the new punishment which he is about to undergo, and offers consolation to his companions. Pleignier, since his removal to the l3icetre, has been extremely dejected. It was only upon the pressing solicitations of her Counsel that Mrs. Picard appealed, and she did so only at the last moment. One of the three conspirators condemned to death has made some verses on repentance. This is deplor ing an error a little too late ; but if the justice of men must be severe, GOD has treasure; of mercy. Two persons were condemned to transportation by the I'revotal Court yesterday, for seditious vies. Oce of them, named Galette, was convicted of saying— ,' I have four packets of cirt► idges still left, to shoot the King and Royal Family." Mary Guillon, conk to M. Alphonse Leroy, the physician who was lately ass issinated, will be tried as an accomplice on the '.:7th. MADRID, JULY 2.

The following is the Trtnslation of 3 Letter writterr in Italian by the English ti ice• Consul at Trapani, to the liii:3sh Vice• Consul at Palermo : Stu—l am truly afflicted at being obliged t. announce to yon the arrival ye.terdey and today, at this port, of several vessels from the Cord Fishing, which had the good f inane to cstapc from Bona. with the dreadful intelligence of the tragedy which has taken place inaleat barbarous country, where 791 vessels were assembled at one point, and ‘2B:i at ann. tiler, some from Naples and others from Corsica, and the Island of St.lvlarguerite ; uil carrying the English flag ; all for the purpose of the coral fishing, al:owed them by the English establishment at Bona, as well as by passports from the British Coosui-General at Algiers, Mr. O'Donnell, or Chun your Consul at Boone, M. Escredero, who k appointed by the Eng lish Consul : every vesstl contributed 2J() crowns to the so pplrt of tills establishment. " Having personally examined several Masters of vessels, to ascertain still more fully t' e circumstances of this disastrous event, the following are the parti culars with which 1 was made acquainted : • AU the Ship-ma-ter• immediately on their arrival at Ilona, having paid the duties and t,loa,ned the passports above mention ed, landed, and proceeded to take from the magazines cf the British Consulate, wit/re the provisions are kept, those which were necessary to them for six months, as well as ail the articles used hi coral fishing. They had peaceably begun to fnk, and had already deposited in those magasinesthe coral obtained. • Oa the Lid, being Ascension Day, an hour after sun rise, when all the crews were making ready to go to mass, a cannon shot was beard tram the castle, and at the same instant fOOO Turkish, Levantine, sad Moorish troops, both cavalry and infah try made their appearance : part rushed up the country, and im mediately another band made towards the rider, where the fish-' Mg vessels were moored, and fired, as well as did the forts of the couetry,oa the oafanunate crews, who were partly on board. their barks and partly ashore, and all were enassacred. They seized sacral Mnglish flar, which they tore in pieces, trampled under fast, and dragged on the veand as in triumph. - - 7 a Those who were in the country succeeded itt saving themselves by Sight s they said that they saw dose troops rlunder the house of the Consul, sad the nsagasi.tes in which were the provisions, u well as the Coral : and they also saw them cut of the head of a cousin of the Coastal, who was flying, almost naked, to a Neapolitga felutca. The brother of this unfortunate person, Mr. Francis Etcredero, after having left tied down in the midst of these banditti the Consul himself, joined a Sicilian iblp•master, and they embarked together, steering (or Goleta and Sardinia.— This Intelligent, has filled us all with grid, both on account *f, ise slate 6eii, srio thimistg 6to tiered, at in , the tots of about 70,000 duxes of monejh 4 .

The same Ship-maste+, who speaks the Turkish language, adds, that having asked a Turk the cause of these hostilities, the latter answered, that the Dry of Algiers Dal .Icclared war against the English, because the English Adntiral had made a demand that the Algerine fleet should he burnt.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE ar• rived at Dover yesterday morning, iii the King'' Oeorge packet, Captain KING, hroin Calais, and set off for town soon after, where he arrived last night. The Princess CHARLOTTE, we are happy to say, continues to improve in her health ; her Royal Fl4l - went out in her carriage yesterday fir the ti st time since her indisposition, accompanied by her Royal Cons'trt, Prince LennoLD. They rode to the Queen's Palace, to pay their respects to her Majesty,' but the QuerN, Princesses ELIZABRTII and MARY, had left the Palace at one o'clock, to honour the Countess Dowager of CARDIGAN with a morning visit, her Ladyship's house, in Seyntour-place, where the Royal patty partook of so:upturn's repast, and returned to the Qaeen's Palace at half-past three. , Since the Ball at Cheltenham a few years since, which the Prince of WAl.cs honoured with iris pre. sence, never was seen such a constelAtion of beauty, I rank, and fashion, as at the Assembly on IVednesday se'nnighr, which the Duke and Duchess of WELLusti. TON had graciously promised to attend. The com pany amounted to 600. The Duchess was in the rooms in the earlier part of the evening. Soon after ten o'clock the Duke arrived, amidst the enthusiastic acclamations of hundreds of persons assembled in ° the street, and a 101 l hand immediately struck up, 64 See the tampering Hero comes !" The passages l and staircase of the rooms were brilliantly illuminated, and a beautiful transparency of Britannia held a me. &Him with a striking likeness of the illustrious hero. His Grace was dressed in mourning, with the Garter and Star of the Order of the Garter, and round his cravat was a superb collar of scarlet enamel, set in gold and diamonds, being the collar of some foreign Order of Knighthood. His Grace continues to visit the Wells at an early hour every morning. Tan ENGLASH OPARA.-.4lrtaxerxes was performed last night, for the third time, at this Theatre.

Sttivaiti, held so ourittotts of vies tering by King litnatwuz.on taised to" the See of Winchester, during the ninth century of our era, Swithin had the address to prevail on that Monarch to gratit a ehattet of tithes to the Church, which, says HAAN, " W. 15 alone sufficient to give him a saintship." At hls twin previous solicitation, he was buried at Winchester, in the common cemetery, or church yard, instead of the chancel of the Minster, as was the general usacd with other Bishops ; but his fame did not soffet bir such humility. The services he had rendered the Ecelesiasticks were great, and that body did not prove uo i z,..tteft!l ; his grave was soon marked as pe culiarly eilizicious to the suffering Christians, ared miracles out of number ware recorded to have bteit wrought by his holy remains. One man who had lost Lis eyes, had them restored to him ; and others receivfd similar benefits ; none, indeed, were refased relief, who applied for it with an humble heart, and firm reliance in the Saint's Exert; In I hence he-natn. rally soon acquired the appellation of M tr ,s; i ii„ Sach an extensive benevolence I):!caine dee theme of um vernal praises; au order was obtained to remove t . s.e holy relives into the choir, as better suiting these merits ; and a grand ard solemn procession was pointed to grace the c”temonv. A most violent ran shower, however, fell on the * destined day, and conti. nosed tor 39 others, without intermission ; in conse quence of which, the idea of a removal Was abandon. r.l, as displeasing to St. Swithin, and a: such, heretical and blasnhamous; though it would appear that the 3aint afterward: relented, and permitted his bones to Le taken fro:n the cemetery, and lodged amPitg the remains of the other Dishops, in the year 10['3, Tae votive adage, that we shall have forty days continu• Mare of wet weather whenever rain falls on Saint Swithin‘s Tes:ival, no doubt, arose from this presmn. ed supernatural circumatance. Without disputing the fact from which the popular fancy sprang, which, notwithstanding the glaring errors and absurdities of the Monkish writers, is very probable to have been the case; there is, nevertheless, not any occasion to have recourse to a miracle to account fur such a phenomenon. Esperifnice has amply shewn, that, whenever a wet season sets in about the end Of June to the middle of July, when the heat of the sun is usually the most intense, it generally continues to tie irly the end of the Summer, when the action of that orb has considerably abated; the rain affording m suer for exhalation, always naturally the strongest at the hottest period or the year, and those exhalations yielding in return matter for rain.—St. Swithin's is nut the only day. howorer, on which observations are made concerninz the weather ; since St. Paul's, Candlemas, and Valentine's, have .!.ich been supposed to be equally ominous. Sc. :;witleia is nevertheless consist/red as the rainy Saint. S POI:7'IS G L LICENCE. They hive been amthing themselves with hone races at 11. , rn10 ty.
