POLICY OF THE BRITISH CABINET. PROM THE ALLOEMEINE ZEITUNG. FROM THE ELBE, JULY 26. The Frankfort Journahin its number of the 16th in stant, reverted, as has already been stated, to the pre-: riously published article from Mentz, respecting the , 7easons for the presence of Count Munster at Johannis berg, and the presumed triumph in the British Cabinet of the principles established by the recent Congresses on the right oaf interference, and certainly the very con scientious Editor may well be pardoned for adopting ...ire apocryphal article. Nevertheless, the Elberfeld Provincial Gazette, and after it, the Hamburg/i Corms 7)ondent, have on this subject called him to account, and ~are thought themselves bound to stand forward asi :ltiinpions of the English Cabinet. The Elberfeld ar ticle of the 19:h of June is, however, an admonitory ex ample of the ill success which must attend the handling ;:t such important and complicated questions of high po iic y ,w hen theyare investigated under a local point of view. even be admittei that the right of interference is, • .ppeats to this Elberfeld statesman to be—sup . ine instances of interference in the afairs of Naples, Jinia, and Spain, wete as arbitrary acts of intermed „: as he, in complete ignorance of the history of the as represented them—suppose the English G0,:..t ,:..t to have recognised such interference, and 7. 1 '..) s2:l troops to Portugal, or a naval force to the Lisb still the Elberfeld correspondent :a• recollected that the British Cabinet had dis claime : cite light of interfering in a much more com prehensive sense than his definition presented. That' Cabinet has ti ti..ctly refused to the King of Spain the right of claiming the aid of his allies to tranquilize his American possessions, in the same form as the King of Portugal at present claims the assistance of England, his ancient ally, to tranquillize Portugal. Now, since the old law of nations denies to no Sovereign the right of concluding alliances for the maintenance of the inte grity of his po,!....lssions, and England has expressly re fused this right to Spain, surely the ElherfeldZeitung ought to convinced -that the right olinterference is by no means understood in the same sense in London as at Elberfeld. What the Cabinet of London regards as irre concilable with its views of the law ofnations and political ights, are not merely the so-called acts of arbitrary inter ference, but also, as the above cited example shews, those . interpositions which take place in consequence of a ditect demand of aid on the part of A legitimate Government. 1 he Elberfeld correspondent also gave a very inconsi derate direction to his polemics against the Abbe lien tiecart, oiler) he considered the Bluish Cabinet justified, on the same principles, in refusing to Spain, and in granting to Portugal, aid solicited by the legitimate So vereign. The correspondent of the Abbe Hennecart is, however, right when he mrintains, that if the succours in sea or lend forces sought by the King of Vortugal be in any way supplied, a peat -and salutary change will take place in the views of the Cabinet of London, which change must, from the wisdom and consistency still be longing to that Government, unavoidably lead to the re cognition of the right of intedetence in a stricter sense. SP/1/.V. PRIVATE connEsroxnmicr. AlAnvin, Jimv 29. " In consequence of the distutbance of which I gave you some account in my last leLter, the Government have thought it prUdent to send away from the capital the Seanisli soldiers implicated in the affair ; and this morn ing the battalion of General Quesada's Guides, and also that if Itioja, have quitted Madrid. The former, it is supposed, is destined for Ceuta, where, if it should ar rive (which is very doubtful, as the greater number will most probably desert on the march), it will be severely punished for its turbulence, as on that spot these is very little to eat, and no chance of pay. "The battalion of Rioja goes to At ragon. When the Trench traps pie rented themselves at the various posts to relieve the Spanish, the officers, not having received (through the ne gligence of their Chiefs) any intimation of the change, refused to yield up their respective guards to the French until some Aid-de-camps arrived with an ex press order to that effect. It is rumoured that the re sults of this affair have been very unpleasant for General Quesada--a-indeed, some say that he has been under arrest, and others that he is to be exiled from Madrid. As this disgrace of Quesada and the sending a tay of the Spanish troops have been in consequence o: the representations of General Digeon, whose wishes, under our present circumstances, we cannot for a mo ment refuse to satisfy, the hostile feeling towards the French has increased both in extent and intensity. The balloting for the army goes on but slowly in some places, because they trouble themselves Rule about it, and in others, because those who are to be ballotted have all fled. Those upon whom the lot has already fallen, and who are in the depots, when it is hinted to them that they will probably be sent to Amei ica, have no hesitation in saying, " Hitherto all is well, but when the order for embarking comes we shall know what to do." In fine, any man who takes the trouble to open his ears or eyes, must see the utter impossibility of getting these men across the Atlantic. The numbers of banditti in various parts of the country have increased to the most frightful extent, so much so, that any person wbo is unfoitunately obliged to quit his home, makes op his mind for Iris purse to be robbed, putting in it what is barely sufficient for his subsistence on the road. —These bands are every day augmented by the young men who fly from the conscription. A few days ago, a detachment of the Toledo Royalist Volunteer s, who were sent in pursuit of a gang of robbers that infestahe mountains in that neighbourhood, returned to Toledo in a wretched plight, with 16 of their comrades wounded. A report is prevalent to-dtty, and which seems to be generally believed, that Don Juan Martin (better known by the name of El Empecinado) has escaped from the prison of Roda, by a well-concet ted stratagem. A detachment of troops, well mounted, and equipped in the Royalist uniform, entered the little Lawn of Roda, and the Officer commanding them presented to the Authorities an order for the delivering up of El Empe cinado. While these worthies were deliberating upon the order, the pretended Royalists went to the prison, spoke of the object of their mission, indulged in violent abuse of El Empecinado, bad wine sent for to treat the gaolers and drink confusion to the Negros, and then requested to be allowed to see the object of their feigned hatred, who was brought out to them in the cage in which they have been accustomed to expibit him to the populace on market-days. At this moment some of the detachment fell upon the guards and gaolers, while others, letting the bird out of the cage, placed him upon horseback, and the whole party, with El Naopeeinado, dashed through the town In full plies. It it said that tite cordon to be esta blished on the fiontlers of Poilagal, will be eothposed of the provincial militia. Three days agorthe baggage of D. Villahermosa, our Ambassador in Portugal, arrived here, and his Encelleticy is expecied'every moment. At Saragossa, three battalions of the division lately com manded by General Itoyo-Capape, now in prison here, were disarmed and disbanded. We learn frOm Barce lona, that some of the es-employes of the Inquisition have received two payments of the arrears of their sala ries, and that some reparations are making in the inqui sitorial mansion of that city. These circumstances, joined to the confident manner in which the reestablish ment of this tribunal is talked of here, almost lead one to suppose the event not improbable." THE EVENTING STAR. LONDON.

By the LIGHTNING steam-packet, which has arrived at Portsmouth, dispatches have been received at the Ad m;ralty this morning, from Sir HARRY NEALE, CORI.. manding the Blitish squadron off Algiers, which con firm the account previously received from Marseilles. that the DEY has submitted to our terms ; Europe has thus to thank Great Britain for a second tinge hum bling this haughty despot, and protecting the Christian world from the insults of the Mussulmans. Sir HENRY NEALE'S dispatches me dated the 26th of July; he states, that having on the 24th placed his squadron in their proper positions for an attack on the town of Algiers, he was about to commence the action, when a negotiation began, which terminated on the following day, by the Ihy's submitting to all the con ditions proposed by the Admiral, and signing the declara tioa which had been transmitted from England. A few shots and shells had been fired, but slo lives were log. On the signature of the declaration by' the /hit; peace was restored, and the blockade raised. We congratulate the Public on this bloodle.s triumph—this reluctant homage to the naval power of Great Britain, which dale assail batteries and positions that nature and art seem to have rendered impregnable, and able to hug!' a siege to scorn ; when the rights of the nation, or those of humanity, are to be protected or vindicated. This morning we received Brussels Papers to the Isth instant, and the Amsterdam Courant of Saturday last.—lf a letter in the latter can be itlied on, the triumph of the Turks h:ts indeed been short. Except as to the effect it might have on the other islands, the capture of Ipsara is of little .importance ; nor can it be deemed any very great exploit when we con s sider that it is a small place, only about five miles long and two miles broad, and that the Turkish sgnadron by which it was attacked consisted of eighty sail, crowded with troops. The article rn the Dutch Paper is a letter from Con stantinople, rectived at Vienna via Odessa. It is dated the I Stli of inly, and states, that intelligence had reached the Bi itish Legation, the preceding evening, announcing hat all the Turkish troops that landed at Ipsara had been destroyed. it appears by this account that twenty five ships of Hydra and Spezzia, with that daring which the Greek sailors have always displayed during the con test, had attacked the Turkish squadron, and sunk a great number of vessels, and damaged several others, including that of the Captain Pacha. The letter adds, that it was strictly forbidden to speak of Ipsara in - the streets of Constantinople, which is supposed to confirm the defeat of the Turks. -A further confirmation we look for with great anxiety. We now subjoin the article on which the hopes of the success of the Greeks are founded. AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 13. A letter from Vienna, of 4th August, brings the fol lowing extract from Odessa, sent in a letter dated 23d July (N. S.) " CONSTa NTINOnt, JULY 13. " After the arrival of the news sent by the Captain Paella, of the cnnquost and destruction of the island of !pare, and which Slab confirmed by the Pachas of Smyrna, of, Chios, and of Mitylene, the English Legation here, last night received by an ezpress — frontSmyrna, dated 7th July, the news that all the Turkish troops landed at Ipsara are debugged. " Twenty-five ships of Hydra and Spezzia, 'at the moment the landing at Ipsara had taken place, sailed into the middle of the Turkish fleet, did immense damage to it, took and sunk a great number of small vessels, captured three frigates, and so damaged the Captain Pacha's own ship, that it was obliged to retreat with the loss of the bowsprit and other injury. " At this moment it is strictly forbidden to speak of Ipsara. Numerous secret agents of the police are in motion, keeping a vigi lant look-out on all that passes. This measure is a confirmation 01, the defeat of the Turks; and we look with Impatience for further information." - In the letter from Vienna it is stated, that an express from Constantinople had arrived, but that the news brought by it had not transpired. This forenoon we received the Paris Journals of Saturday, and the Dade of yesterday, by Express, bet they contain no political intelligence of importance. On Saturday M. delrmuma and the Duede DOUDEAU.VILLE transacted business with the KING, who, although he did not go out, is in better health than some English Journals usually represent him to be. On Friday, however, his MAJESTY did go out. . The Earl Of WESTMORLAND arrived at Paris on Thursday. It is again confidently reported, that the Minister of Finances will renew his plan for reducing' the interest of the French miles next Session. The Eloile contains the report of the defeat of the Turks, noticed in our evracts from the Dutch papers. Y, ince LEOPOLD had an audience of his MAJESTY on Saturday, and afterwards visited MONSIEUR, the Duke and Duchess of ANootmems, and M. de VULVA. Letters from Warsaw state, that the Emperor of ItussiA was expected in that capital about the middle of this month. The Moniteur contains some further articles on the ci i :tute of Ipsara, but they add nothing to our pre vious intelligence on the subject. The Moniteur contains, in the official part, three Royal Ordonnances, authorizing the estAblishment of two Fire Insurance Companies, one at BoUrg, and one ai Versail:es, and of a Company at Bourdeaux for the erecting of foundlies of iron and other metals. The foliox tog ale extracts:— FROM TILE &Torts OF YESTERDAY. PARIS, AUGUST 14. Yestei Jay the King gave a particular audience to the Duke Fernani,lo, grandee of Spain. It was reported at Odessa, on the 21• th July, that the fleet of the Captain Pa cha was attacked by the Ilydtiotes and the Spezziotes, and had experienced considerable loss. The Gazette of Augsburg, which brings this news, observes, that it it; prudent to wait the confirmation. FROM GA LIGNANI's MESSENGER. STOCK EXCHANGE, AUGUST 13, FIVE O'CLOCK.— Notwithstanding the improvement in the English Funds, 'the price of Stocks has again given way, in conse quence, it is said, of salessmade hy holders who had not time to make transfers during the rise. The Ructua• Lion in the Spanish Funds, for several days past, is worthy of observation—the 0:d Bonds are evidently in favour, and bets have been made that ere long these ef fects will occupy the attention of st eculators. The Five per Cents. for Money closed at 101 f. 15c. for.the end of the month. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER PROM CONSTANTI NOPLE. OF JULY 15. The Greeks in this capital are dejected by the intel ligence of the capture of Ipsara, and the Turks flatter themselves that the Isles of the Archipelago ss ill submit thern.elves, without resistance, to the Captain !Ilacha ; but advice, :from Cot ftt . state, that the Greek!, being determiaed to conquer or die, hive redoubled their energy ansi efforts to shake off the yoke of the Turks., No intelligeace as yet. of the attack upon the 'lsle of Samos.
