Nov. i4.—lntelligence has been received here of an attempt made againft the Dey of Algiers, on the rfith of September, but which did not prove fuccefsful. On that day, which was a feftival, the Dey having gone with his fuite to the mofque , a Mahometan o f - low extradion forced his way to the Der's apartment, and took poffef lion of the feat of Government. The people, who thought that this event was the confequence of an extenfive and well combined plan, were ready to fubmit to the rebel, who immediately fet a price on the Dey's head. The Dey, being Informed of this infurredion, caufed the gates of the mofque to be 'hut, and durff not return to his palace. In the mean time the party of the rebel acquired more ftrength ; but a man of Tome confederation, who enjoyed the confidence of his matter, was fo fortu nate as to be able to difperfe the multitude, fo that tranquillity was again reftored.

FRANCIUM/T i p Nov. 22.—According to letters' from Vienna, the Dose of Mootee has prefented to the Fiesr Cows vs a memoir, in which he proves that the Brifgaw granted to him as, an indemnity, produces only 330,000 florins per annum; while the Rates of Modena, Rheggio, Mirandola, and Malta - Carrara, yielded him one million : He therefore claims a more confiderable indemnity, and has ftrongly folicited the EmPEr ea to interell himfelf in his favour, in regard to this point. Hitherto the Court of Vienna has refuted to in terfere in the bufinefs, but, at the fame time, it would be pleafed to fee !tint obtain a more impor t Cant indemnification, as his Ilates will one'day fall to Prince FERDINAND, the Emperor's uncle.

The ornaniad Silk HUI went through a CoMmittee, and the Report was ordered to be received en Maui* STARCH M•MVFACTOtF• Mr. VANSITTAILT rofe for the purpofe of propof ing an important meafure upon the fubjell of the manufaaure of Starch. The fpeech of the Hon. Member upon the occafion, was to the following effea :—" Sir, I was yefierday indulged with the pennifGon of the Houfe to bring forward a mea- Cure without the ufual formality of notice. The meafure to which I allude, was the motion which I then fubmitted for leave to bring in a Bill to pro hibiting the dillillatioa of fpirits from wheat in Ire land. I am now about to fubmit another motion of the fame clafs for the purpofe of carrying a fyf tem of economy fill farther in that particular fpecies of grain, which is fo much ufed for the fuf tenance of man. The fame reafon, for expedition, which induced the Houfe to entertain my motion laft night, and to difpenfe with the ordinary forms of proceeding, exit in the prefent cafe ; I !hall, therefore, proceed to the point without further preface, hoping to receive the fame indulgence.... The Houfc is, no doubt, aware that the manufac ture of Starch from wheat is prohibited no longer than the ill of January next, and it is fufficiently obvious that fuch manufacture, if fuffered to pro ceed after that period without reftraint, molt have a tendency to raife the price of bread. The mea fure, which I now mean to propofe, is for the pur pofe of counter-acting that circa, by giving up en tirely the duty upon Starch made from rice and potatoes, and thereby throwing the manufafture upon thofe two articles. I am perfeetly aware that rice and potatoes are alfo very principal articles of provifion; and that any thing, which could materi ally affea their price, would take fo much from the advantage which will arife from the application of that wheat to the ufe of man, which would otherw ire have been confumed in the manufaelure of Starch. —The prefent nate of the country with relpeet to thefe two kinds of pi cm ilions, I am happy to lay, is fuch as affords no ground whatever to apprehend any inconvenience of that fort. In confequence of the very large importation of rice, and the abun dance of the fate handl, there is at prerent more of that article in the country than is v ante!. The fur plus, therefore, cannot be better Applied than in the manufaaure of Starch, and in thus increafing the cpumtity of bread, for which rice is only a rub "bane. This advantage will appear great to every nusiereanding; but thofe only who are acquainted with the manufalture, can appreciate its merits in their full extent. • As I am informed it is not com mon or ordinary wheat that is ufed for flarch; but, dm 11W 071Strary, the grain Of ;ha Inca quality; ao the grcatcli pains are taken to procure pp. dly of that description; it 1:. not therefore merely the quantity of wheat, but the quality of bread that will be encreefed and improved by this meal - tire.— Some may, perhaps, think that a mixture of da maged wheat, with rice and potatoes, would make a better kind of fiarch than can be had from thole m at e r ials alone ; and that the manufafture might be carried on in that way without lefening, in any refpelt, the benefit pmpored by the mealtime. I mall be always an advocate for free and open trade „- and I have accordingly confidered this poi nt w i t h a n t h e anx i et y, which, as one profeffing this prin. ciple, I mutt feel, when the queflion is to impofe reltraints upon manufafture, and to interfere with the inure& of individuals in trade. With every difpoittion then to reduce the retlraint in the pre. Cent cafe as low as potable, I cannot admit even a, partial and qualified ale of wheat in the taanufae• tore of Ruch in the manner which I have Rated. The fubjea is of fuch a nature, that any modifica. tion, any liberty in the ufe of wheat, however li mited and precife, would afford fo many opportu. tildes to the manufalturer to extend it to the ufe of grain of every quality, that no potable degree of vigilance on the part of the Revenue Officers would be fufficient to prevent the abufe; and the t.itele benefit of the mature would be endangered or loft to the public. So far then with refpraft to the ufe of rice in the manufalture of ftarch, and the danger °fallowing even *mixture ofdamagedeorn,though , unfit for human funenance. Now with refpen to potatoes, they alto exift in great abundance, and therefore may with fafety be applied to this We. Of all fpecies of vegetables, I believe it will be 31. ' lowed t he y anti& the ben and furelt remedy for fcarcity in other articles of food, but particularly in fcareity of bread. The great difcouragement, however, to the cultivation of potatoes is the want of a certain market. The meatus° they which I propofe will, by removing that dikouragement, promote their growth ; and, as all the other ohfer vations which I have made upon rice apply equal. ly to potatoes, I think I need not fay any thin farther upon this part of the fobjeft. The idea will no doubt fuggen Welt to *Mk who feel the force of my a t, that if the ale of in the man ure of /larch is Co defirah= confumption in the &tinniest mutt be Rill snore beneficial ; I than only Wave, that this Mita has not efeaped the attention of thofe perfuns con. netted with government, who have turned their minds aeon to the queltion or provifions. The fob. jeft is under coo/Iteration. bat the inquiry made. is not yet fuffident . for all tho purpofes of a Tar mee rv az i lserfelt as to enable one to brag it fo I nave so doubt, how, ever, but *at pa*** y b applied with ad, vantage to rental other , Wes the dinilleries, Some of them are now cantelnplatiots, and I hope to fee, ere long, a gillehl end compnleo. five fyltem of regulaticms ilmt mull prove n highly beneficial to the co in Ms article of fo t, i much importance as that Mons. I have now only to add, that the:,lllA Ilk the, winner, ihould my propofition be selopellk 1144 be. 9 0 6 04 but when it is confidcred, that hiy IRIt means *e than Pave for the ale of man atm no to 40,000 quarters of wheat now in:attuned in 'the manufaxv tare of Ruch, I hope the Houk *lll cheerfully fuhmit to the Menace ofveveinw. Mr. Vantittaxt concluded with moving, a Tlffit the Al imposing the duties on Rand be read;" Aich being done, he moved " That the Houfe do now refolve kfilf -into Committee of the whole Houfe, to conhdkr of the propriety of permitting the making Inch from rice and potatoes, free of duty." The Houfe havinl accordingly refolvcd Wee into the ftid Committee; Mr. VADISITTILIT-•-" I have Very few &Cerea l tions to make upon this fubjea, in addition to thofe which I have already Rated. I Mali only notice one point in which Gentlemen may wilh to have fome more fatisfaftion.—l mean the relin quifhment of fo much revenue. By the airs which will be revived upon the expiration of the prefenx prohibitory law, the duty on (larch from wheat will be sid. per pound, and foam may think we might preferve a part of the revenue. by lay. in; a (mall duty upon sflarch from rice and pots, toes,. taking care, however, that the proportion fhonld be fuch as mull induce the mannfafturerto give a decided prefer:nee to the latter materials. I have duly conlidered this fubjeft; bat from the fluauation of the pi-ices, and various other cireinn fiances topbe taken into the account; I fear it would be extremely difficult, if not impoale, to adopt that plan upon anyproportion that would net elt• danger, and perhaps ultimately defeat the whole objeta of the meafure. I hope, therefore, that the Houfe, rather than rifting Each a confequerliMi will fubmit at once to a total abandonsuot of the 'dit ty. I (hall therefore move, Sir, " That the Chair man be direacd to move the Houfe for leave to bring in a bill to permk the making of ftarch from rice and potatoes, free of duty." The motion being agreed to, the Houfe refumed, the report was then received, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. IRISH WHIRR DISTILLPRII. On the Motion for the fecond reading of the 'hint Wheat Dillillery Prevention Bill, Roe son Paid, he did not objat to the principlt. of the Bill, but he thought it did not go fir enough.-- He walled the prohibition fhould extend to all fpecies of grain in both countries.
