We learn to-day, by a letter from Constantinople, of the 10th of March, that the Vice Admiral of the Turkish fleet, Table Pacha, is about to set off for Algiers, with a view, if possible, to make an amicable arrangement of the existing differences between France and the Dey. It is already known that the ministry has made a bargain with an eminent mercantile house in London, for the conveyance to Algiers of troops and provisions to the amount of 8,000 tons ; and that is has concluded an arrangement with the Liverpool Steam-boat Com pany for the use of four of its vessels, to be employed between Toulon and Algiers during the expedition. It now appears certain that the English Government has formally opposed the freighting of these vessels, and that it has given orders for the suspension of all the preparations, by virtue of a clause in the Foreign Enlistment Bill. The Charter-parties already con. eluded will, therefore, be annulled. It appears, however, that in spite of the prohibition of the English Government, there is no doubt the French agents will be able to obtain the same number of vessels for the projected expedition, under the pretence that they are to be sent to ports other than those of France, as was done with re spect to the new Republics of the South, and even to carry arms to the Greeks. This measure, at all events, proves the feeling of the English Government against the expedition. It is curious enough that Spain has refused to lend us the Port of Carthagena forour vessels to put into and get provisions during our expedition, under the pretence that she would be subject to revenge ful attacks on the part of Algiers if we did not succeed. To what point has this Government descended, and what gratitude does it show us for our campaign in 1823 ! Negociationshave been entered into with the Pacha of Egypt, in order to obtain his co-operation in the expedition against Algiers, and an Envoy extraordinary has been sent to him with this object. It was believed the mission had been successful, and the arrangements were nearly all concluded, when a formal interdiction arrived at Cairo from Constantinople. The Sultan gave positive orders to the Pacha not to lend his assistance, and Mehemet will there. fore - remain inactive. Some persons attribute this to Eng lish influence, and indeed it is not easy to discover the part which the English Cabinet takes in this affair. According to some ac counts it has required the French Government to enter into an en. gagement not to attempt to make on the coast of Africa any esta blishment, or form any colony; and it is said that by virtue of special Treaty, the French army is bound to re-embark, and to leave the country a month at the latest after the taking of Algiers. Other persons, on the contrary, say that the two Cabinets have come to an understanding, in order mutually to profit by the results of the expedition, and that France will be allowed to do what she likes to Algiers, the right being reserved to England to do as much on some other point of the coast. A letter from Tunis, dated March 26, says that an English fri. gate has left blahs for Algiers, in order to take the English Consul on board, as well as the other Consuls, If they should desire it. A report has been circulated at Marseilles, that an English car. vette had, a short time previously, appeared off Algiers, and a mes. senger was landed, who informed the Dey of all our preparations, and not only offered him an asylum in the corvette, but also to re ceive all his treasure on board for safety. This report, however, must certainly be without foundation. GERMAN PAPERS. RECEIVED LAST NIGHT. PROM THE ELBE, MARCH 29. We hear that the German Diet has granted to the Duke of BRUNSWICK a further time of three weeks, and if this time should expire without the Duke's complying with the decisions of the Diet, 6,000 Saxon troops are to occupy the Duchy, or rather the dominions of his highness.—Nwrernburg Correspondent. STUTOARD, APRIL 2. As the two Chambers have, by extraordinary efforts, dispatched the business laid before them by the government for this Session, the Assembly will be dissolved next week. The Diet has unani. mously voted an Address of Thanks to the King for the Commercial Convention concluded with the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse. His Majesty returned a most gracious answer to this Address, assuring the Chambers that he would persevere in the same spirit in his endeavours to promote the welfare of the country, by removing the impediments to the freedom and extension of COLONIAL FINANCE. From the West Indian Reporter. The justice and expediency of protecting and encouraging the consumption of British sugars, by lowering the duty, or of entirely semoving the whole of the oppressive restrictions which, at present. cramp the energies of our West India Colonists, become every day more evident. Wire the duty on sugar lowered to 15s. (its amount from 1791 to 1796) or even to 18s. the cwt. there can be no doubt it would very materially increase the consumption, and add to the comforts of the people, without diminishing the revenue. la 1815, when the price was about 925. the cwt. the consumption was only 1,888,965 ewts. From the sth of January, 1828, to the same period, 1829, the mice may be stated at from dffis. to 56s , and the consumption, notaciisstanding the distressed state of the middling and lower classes, is nearly doubled. There are numerous other proofs of the efficacy of steady low prices, in increasing the consumption ; and ye► in the face of all these tacts, the Chancellor of the Exchequer asserted, in May last, that the reduced price had not produced " a very increased consumption." We may shortly have to notice fur ther assertions equally destitute of foundation. The consumption of sugar in Ireland, during the year 1828, by a population of about nine millions, was only 245,550 cwts. if sugar were brought within the reach of the middling and lower orders, in that part of the kingdom, by a still more considerable re duction of the duty, we have no doubt the quantity there consumed would be quadrupled or quintupled, to the great benefit of the revenue, and adding very materially to the comforts of the classes alluded to. On this subject we give the following quotations from a periodical generally opposed to Colonial interests :—" The average consumption of sugar in Ire. land, in 1800 and 1803, when the duty was about 20s. amounted to 571,000 cwts. or 63,752,000 lbs. But at an average of the four years, ending with 1820, when the duty was as high as 30s. the consumption was only 266,000 cwts. or less than half what it had been at the former period, notwithstanding the vast increase of po pulation during the interval. And, at this moment, when Ireland has from three to four millions of inhabitants more than in 1800, she does not consume much above half the quantity of sugar she did then. " At present the Irish duties are, in effect, prohibitory; and might be thought to have been imposed, not for the sake of reve. nuc, but to debar the people from the use of sugar, that they may be the better able to buy whisky, and contribute to the Catholic rent ! At all events, it is now clear as demonstration, that if the duty were imposed for the sake of revenue, its oppressiveness has totally defeated its object; and that to make it productive, it must be effectually reduced. Generally speaking, we are averse to mak ing any distinctions in the duties in different parts of the empire ; but in the peculiar circumstances under which Ireland is placed, we think that the duty on sugar consumed there might be advantage.l ously reduced to 10s. or 12a; allowing it to increase by Is. a-year, until it rose to les. or 20s. the level at which the duty of this coun try should be fixed. Were a plan of this sort adopted, we have no doubt whatever that, in the course of half a doses years, the con sumption of sugar in Ireland would be quintapkd ; whilst the re venue, instead of losing, would be doubled or trebled."—" The first step towards supplying what is confessedly the grand desidera tum in the case of Iceland, is to reduce the duties on articles of convenience and luxury, so that they may become attainable by the mass of the people. If this be done, we may rest assured, that the desire, inherent in all individuals, of improving their condi tion, will impel them to exert themselves to obtain them. A taste for the articles in question will be gradually diffused amongst all ranks, and ultimately it will be thought discreditable to be without them." " The same sort of machinery which serves to prevent whisky from being smuggled from Ireland might serve to prevent the smug gling of sugar ; and though a few thousand cwts. were clandestinely imported, it would be of no consequence. Neither do we propose that the difference in the rates of duty should be permanent." It is at all events quite clear, that a continuance of the present ungenerous and oppressive policy is progressively creating sense.. tions, which years of kindness; may not obliterate from the minds of the Colonists, and which may ultimately lead to the most deplorable consequences. They have for a series of years seen relief granted to every class of their fellow subjects, whilst, notwithstanding their loyalty and devotion to the Mother Country, during the late long and arduous struggle, to them it is still denied. To affirm that they enjoy any thing like freedom of trade under the present system is absolute folly. Were the whole of the re strictive regulations and oppressive burdens imposed by the Mother Country removed, and the expence attending the government and defence of the British West India Colonies to be regulated by a conventional agreement, the Colonists might expect to obtain s favourable hearing in the markets of Europe and America. They might hope to see their islands visited by foreign ships, bring ing, in exchange for their staple commodities, supplies at moderate rates, and carrying away raw and refined sugars in payment, or at low freights, so as to enable them successfully to compete, by superior science and machinery, with those rivals whom the " phi lanthropists" of the Mother Country have raised up to oppose them by an increased supply of new slaves; but we again repeat, that to say the Colonists enjoy any thing like a free trade or " fair play," under existing restrictions, is to insult their understandings, and undervalue their commercial and political discernment. Cayenne Pepper is a dangerous condiment, as it is most frequently adulterated with the red oxide of lead, a poisonous sdditament. To discover the fraud, boil some of the suspected pepper in vinegar, filter and add to it sulphate of ammonia, which will throw down a dark precipitate, indicating the presence of lead. At the last sitting of the Paris Academy of Sciences, a curious paper, entitled "General Considerations on Animals at different Geological Periods," was read by M. Boubee The author of this paper supposes that all the animals disseminated in the pre sent day over the surface of the globe, in rivers, lakes, and other fresh waters, had a marine origin, and that they were scattered by the general irruption of the waters, which appears to have happened long after the formation of chalk. Those, says the author, which were able to live in water gradually more fresh, which was =bath wed for sea water, which of itself had become less salt, from its being spread over the land, continued to propagate • but they have undergone important modifications, determined by lose which the elements in which they had lived had experienced. A melancholy affair took place this week at Pendleton . which has been attended with fatal msequences. It appears that the family of a labouring man named Oldfield, consisting of himself, his wife, and six children, have been reduced to a ststeof great dis tress' owing to the want of su ffi cient employment by the man. On Thursdays humane and respectable neigithour sent to the family quantity of broth which had been boiled in an iron pan. As might naturally be supposed, the mother and children partook of the food with great avidity ; but the father being out of the way, Dose of the broth fell to his share. In time all the persons wbo bad taken the broth became seriously indisposed, and one of the children died in the course of the day. Mr. Barker, burgeon, of Pendleton, and two other medical gentlemen, being informed of the circumstance, speedily attended, and rendered prompt and efficient assistanco.— '1 stomach-pump was had recourse to, and we are happy to say, that though the poor wom an an d h er fi ve children ass still vary an. well, no fatal results are anticipated. An inquest will be held this day, before Air. Milne, to inquire into the circumstances of the child's death.--Manchester Ads. ~ ..": :4-1 ; •- . 4 :. : • * 11: t, ..tr ......:. 1... . . f e. 4 4•1 1: 47 :'• - ' 4 1 41 • 4 4 • ,i e . •.• NO _ • • . • The Rev.

The continuance of the severe weather, together with the Turk. ish Ramscan, cause a great dullness in this thy, which is increased by the stagnation of the navigation, and the delay in the accounts from the provinces. Meantime there are plenty of alarming re. ports of internal troubles and changes, for the suppression of which Russian troops are represented as hastening to the aid of the Sultan. Happily, those rather clumsy innovations of ill.dis. posed persons have made no impression, it being evident to everybody, that the movements which have lately taken place among the Russian troops, are merely preparatory to their ap. proaching retirement from the districts occupied by them, on this side of the Balkan and on the sea coast, as the Porte has already provided for the payment of the next quarterly instalment, as stipulated by the Treaty of Adrianople. It cannot, however, be denied. that the rise in the prices of provisions and fuel, caused by the unfortunate seasons, and the increase of the taxes on these articles, here caused some discontent among the lower classes, which will, doubtless, be allayed as soon as the return of mild west. ther facilitates the arrival of supplies. The only changes that have occurred in . the public offices within the last fortnight are the nomination of the Kapidgi Basch', Sadil Aga, to the post of Governor of Nicopolis, with the rank of Beg. lerbeg ; of Mehemed Paths, late Governor of Nieopolis, to the rank of Titular Governor of &Boris ; lastly, the bestowing of the Go. vernment of llamas on the Grand Visit:. The Turkish Via-Admiral, Tahir Puha, is preparing to sail en board a frigate for Algiers, in order to propose the mediation of the Sultan for the arrangement of the dif f erences between the Dey and France. It is generally affirmed that Jussuf Pasha, who surrendered Varna, has hopes at being restored to the Sultan's favour, and is preparing to return to Constantinople, where his son has long been, and is restored to his rank in the army. Among the measures lately adopted in favour of the Catholic Armenians is the Ferman sent to Angora, by which, with the exception of the heads of a few distinguished families who were banished to Angora by special or. ders the other Armenians are at liberty to return to the capital. The Porte is said to have already become acquainted with the last resolution of the Allied Powers respecting Greece, but does not shew a disposition to accede to them. FRANKFURT, AParr. 1.
