" The KING has slept at intervals during the night; the cough and expectoration continue much the same ; but his MAJESTY is more languid and weak. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. ", MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Our private information, by the estafette from Paris, states that a telegraphic communication had just been re ceived from the African expedition, and which does not appear in the Moniteur. We are enabled, however, to give the following as the substance :—" A battle has been fought in the neighbourhood of Algiers, in which the French have lost one hundred men." It further appears, that there has been some hard fighting along the coast — the troops of the DEY having repeatedly attacked the French in small skirmishing divisions. Our information, at the same time, goes on to say, that the French army were gaining ground every hour. The Jamaica Courant, received by the mail this day, apparently upon good authority, states that when the last packet left Carthagena, every thing was in a very un settled state. Bo LI VAR, from the ungrateful conduct of his old friends, determined to withdraw from the country, and Icaic It to ita fate. Ou this being known to the British and French Ambassadors, they apprised the Con gress of their determination to follow his example, unless BOLIVARIVBS allowed to resume the Presidensy, and the command of the army. The Congress conformed to the wishes of the Ministers, and BOLIVAR was to resume his authority on the 25th ult. The Courant then adds, that in addition to this intelligence, they have learned from sources which can be relied upon, that Bola v wit is appointed President for life, with a fixed salary. Many of his old friends, whom he had raised from obscurity, endeavoured to accomplish his ruin, and force him from the country; and nothing but the interference of the Foreign Ambassadors prevented him from quitting the ungrateful soil of Columbia for ever. On being rein stated in the supreme authority, his moderation was as remarkable as his services have been. Instead of dooming his enemies to perpetual banishment, as traitors of ; Columbia, he has merely ordered them to retire to the interior. That BoLt win was expected here in the packet is well known. The whole wealth of the LIBE RATOR of South America consisted only of twenty thou sand pounds, which he invested in the British Funds. We were injudicious enough, a few days ago, to make some remarks on a paragraph in a Brighton Paper, which never would have attracted our notice had it not been quoted in the Times. We now find that our stric tures have put the EDITOR of that Paper in a passion, which we cannot but consider as a full proof of the cogency and truth of our arguments. Having inadvertently trodden on a toad, is no reason that we should suffer our columns to be bespattered with its filth ; and we well know, that we have no right to trouble our Readers with any part of this EDITOR'S mys tified lucubration's, farther than the maintenance of our own consistency, and the exposure of any fallacies that may be given to . , the world on public affairs, can be considered an adequate apology for so doing. We shall therefore bring the fallacy, the exposure of which has put this provincial scribbler in a rage, before our readers, as he, to save trouble, gives it in all its odious iniquity :—" Are we at this timo of day," says he, " to teach mankind that under the practical constitution of the two Houses of Parliament, a previous concert—a modifying of inditidual crochets—a compromise of slight shades of difference, and a common centre of action and organization, is necessary to every political, body, of whatever ability and character, which would sate itself of mil importance, of any practical use or in fluence, in controlling the actions of a pernicious Minis try, suppereed in one House by upwards of forty place. mast, prepared to vote that two and two made seven, irrequind; and supported in the other House, not only by multitudinous placemen, and dependants upon the Go vernment, but by sixty-four mechanical votes in the shape of proxies—of course at the will of the Minister ?" If this long straggling, ill-composed, sentence be meant as an attack on the " practical constitution of the two Houses of Parliament," it may have some force ; but we hope it is a libel, and we think ono which the Honourable House should notice: for we ask our readers, whether it does not infer it to be a matter of course, that the Members of the Honourable House are called upon, in the discharge of their duty, to relinquish all adherence to principle, and to act under an abandonment of all integrity ? Innate depravity in reasoners is always marked by an at tempt to smooth away the deformities of vice ; and for this purpose they generally adopt a verbiage of their own. Never was this more strikingly displayed than in the sentence before us. A corrupt change of opinion is termed, " a modifying of individual crotchets—and a compromise of slight shades of difference."—The representatives of the people acting together, with out reference to any principle of union, except that of a resolve to oppose the existing Ministry, is termed the adoption " of a common centre of action and organization." Now, we must ask our reader, what ever be his side in politics, whether he be inclined to at tribute such a base abandonment of all public honour, to any of the political characters of the present day, who by their talent have made themselves prominent in the Senate ; or who are likely to have influ ence with the KING or people ?—and whether, when we argued that such an avowedly factious coalition as this writer has advocated, was highly improbable— and if possible, would be powerless—because deprived of all public confidence, without which we are con vinced, at this day, no administration can long confine in place—we were betraying our " foolish ness and ignorance of the world ?" We know we are ig norant of the world—that is, if the Editor mean the world of JONATHAN WlLD—and suspect strongly, from the odour of his morality, the Editor of the Brighton Ga zette has a world of his own too, to which we hope we shall always continue a stranger. We have heard that the EDITOR has a cousin who is butler to the Duke of RICHMOND ; and that it is with his assistance he hatches up these new administrations of his Cousin's Master, and Lord GREY, forsooth ! If this be true, we really would advise the Noble Duke to prevent in future such doings in his pantry. The EDITOR, we observe, is one of the vituperative school; and we therefore find it expedient to act towards him as we would towards analogous stu dents, in a similar school at Billingsgate—or as we would oz avoid a scavenger's cart in the street— get past him as soon as possible. We must indeed beg our reader's excuse, for detaining him so long on such a miserable theme ; and as to the individual himself, we now dismiss him, once for all, as Uncle Toby dismissed a similar reptile—," go thy ways poor crea ture, there is room eno ugh in the world for me and thee I too." CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Funds which opened this morning at 92i 11 for the Account, have experienced a sudden fall, and are at present 92j I. This is supposed to be owing to some information from Paris by the Estafette, as some large sales have been effected. Nothing yet doing in the Fo reign Market. A Jamaica Mail has arrived by the Eclipse, sailed on the 11th May ; from Carthagena 2d May. We have also a mail from Malta, sailed on the 2d June, brought by the Meteor. Extract of a letter from Carthagena, 2d May :—" Po litics here are not taking a good course, you will see by General Cacceda's message to the Congress, recommend ing a dissolution of that body, to what an ungrateful wretch Bolivar trusted. No sooner was he in office, than he turns against the Liberator. He has a strong party in Bogota, who wish the separation from Venezuela, and the dismemberment of tho Republic. The Congress is rather awed by the Ministers of Great Britain, Brazil, and of the United States, who gave notice of their im mediate departure in case of the dissolution of Congress. Accounts from St. Jags de Cuba, Ist May, state that an American ship had arrived there from Cadiz, and re port brings intelligence that between seven and eight thousand men were ready to be embarked for the Ha vannah, intended to remain there until sufficient strength should be mustered to make a dead set upon Columbia. Accounts from Leghorn state that the Dey of Algiers, believing that the French would land at Matefon, di rected on that side the best of his troops. The heights which command the capital, and the fort of the Emperor, are well fortified, and it is said that a mine is pre pared under the rampart on the east. The Arabs and Mame lukes of Bonne are to manesuvre in the rear of the French; but, with all their precautions, it is thought that the Dey will be obliged to surrender. The following is from a Paris paper, received this morning:—" The effect of the royal ordinance, the substance of which we gave, is to delay until the 12th and 29th July next, the election of 109 deputies. It affords a remarkable evidence of the spirit which per vades the capital and the department in its immediate neighbourhood. That of the 34 deputies returned by the four departments of the Seine, not one voted against the address. Thus, in that part of the country, in which the influence of the Court and the Government might be supposed to be the strongest, the ministerial party did not succeed in returning one solitary member. The deplorable situation of his Majesty causes a gloom in the City. It is this that has effected the Funds ; and not the information from Paris. Rentes 3 per Cent. and the Estafette, 78-10. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. Consols remain at the same price u in the early part of the morning, 921 Sellers for the Account. Great anxiety prevails for the publication of the bulletin with his Majesty's health. In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds have receded one and a half per Cent. owing to the speech of Lord Aber deen in the House last night. In other Foreign Securi ties nothing doing. In the Share Market little doing. South Metropolitan Gas 21 prem. An eruption of Mount Etna, which took place on the 16th instant, destroyed e i g h t villages, which neither ages nor lava bad reached at any previous period. Man of the inhabitants were b ur i e d under the ru i ns of the i r houses. The ashes thrown out of the new craters WWII carried as far as the mountains of Calabria. COURT INTELLIGIINCB. Wednesday night his Majesty was disturbed by fre quent paroxysms of cough and expectoration, and though 'he has been more composed throughout the day, and has had some hours' sleep, yet he remains much exhausted, and his general debility appears to be hourly increasing. It is not true that Lord Farnborough was present when his Majesty gave his assent to the signing of Government documents. The only official personages present were lithe Duke of Wellington, Sir A. Barnard, and Sir Wit ham Keppell ; and, moreover, this is the second occa sion of the kind from which Lord Farnborough has been absent. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland had a long interview with his Majesty to-day ; and Lord Hill, Commander of the Forces, was at the Castle, making his personal inquiries after the King's health. The Sacrament was administered to the King by the Bishop of Chichester on Sunday. Sir Henry Halford and Sir Matthew Tierney remained as usual in attend ance on his Majesty yesterday. The Bulletin was Amen to the Nobility and Gentry, at the King's Palace, St. James's, by the Earl of Fife and Mr. Forester, as the Lord and Groom in waiting. Prince Frederick of Prussia, attended by the Baron Linsengen and Major Strantz, visited the Royal Hospital at Greenwich yesterday. Some of the officers of the mi litary department received the Prince on his arrival, and conducted his Royal Highness through the principal parts of the Hospital. Prince Leopold came to town yesterday from his seat at Claremont. Prince Frederick of Prussia honoured the Prussian Minister with his company to dinner on Wednesday evening, at his residence in Great Cumberland-place. There was a numerous party to meet his Royal Highness. A deputation of the West India merchants and planters, including Lord Rivers and Mr. Keith Douglas, headed by the Marquis of Claude, as Chairman of the Committee, waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury yesterday, and had a conference with the Right Honourable Gentleman relative to the pro posed alteration in the duties on West India sugar. The Duke of Bedford had an interview with the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the Treasury. The Marchioness of Lansdowne bad a grand musical party yesterday evening, which was attended by up wards of 400 of the haut toll. The Earl of Warwick has a grand dinner party on Wednesday, the 30th inst. The Earl of Sefton has two grand dinner parties, on Sunday and Wednesday next. DovEa, JUNE 24, 1830.—Arrived the Mail Packet, Crusader, Capt. Hamilton, from Calais :—Her Grace the Duchess of Hamilton, with Lady Susan Douglas and Suite came in her ; and after taking refreshments at Wright's Ship Hotel, started for town. We are requested to state that it is not true that Ma dame Vestris refused to play at Dublin during the en gagement of Mr. and Mrs. Wood : neither is it true that she said, when she first heard of the separation of Lady William Lennox from her husband, that it was a sad thing, as it brought such disgrace upon the profession. —Morning Register. The vagabonds who call themselves Saints abound in Algiers. Pananti, in his Narrative of a Residence in that City, says :—" It is common for a man to call him self a Saint, as for people amongst us to say, ' I am a smith, carpenter, lawyer, philosopher, poet, or great man.' And, like nobility in Europe, the holiness of Mahometans passes from father to son ; where the latter is respected equally with his father, because be possesses the same privileges, dignity, and titles." Steeple chases are not likely to become very popular in France, AM. Barbet, who did not feel quite pleased that his grounds should have been galloped over during a steeple chase near Paris, prosecuted the parties, and the Quotidienne states that Messrs. Locke, Cauty, Allonart; and Normandie, have been sentenced to pay a fine of 10 francs, and 600 francs damages. It appears by a Parliamentary paper, ordered to be printed, that the total number of different descriptions of dogs (exclusive of packs of hounds) upon which duty was paid 'in the United Kingdom, during the year ended sth April, 1329, was 353,085. The amount of duty paid upon themlB7,sBll. The packs of hounds on which duty was paid amounted to 69, the duty on each being 361. the sum total amounted to 2,4841. The duty paid on dogs within the bills of mortality was 15,3071. The Marquis of Lansdowne entertained a distinguished party to dinner on Wednesday, at Lansdowne House, Berkeley-square ; among whom were the Earl and Countess of Harrowby, the Earl and Countess of Ken mitre, Lord Goderich, Lord Pahnerston, Mr. and Mrs. Fasakerley, Mr. Sturges Bourne, &c. THE MARQUIS OF HEETFORD'S DEJEUNZTOOk place on Wednesday at hie Lordship's elegant Villa in the Regent's Park, where nothing was wanting to the splendour of the enchanting scene. The invitations were not numerous, but confined to about fifty persons of the first distinction. The company began to amve about three o'clock, and after partaking of a sumptuous dejeune, about half-past five commenced dancing Mazurkas to Weippert's admired Band. It is unnecessary to add that the whole went off with the most brilliant eclat. Soon after eight o'clock the party retired, highly gratified with the hospitality of the Noble Host. The Brighton Guardian contains an account of a magnificent festival at Rye, given to Colonel De Lacy Evans, who, aided by the public-spirited townsmen, has, after • severe struggle, succeeded in rendering that place an open borough instead of a close one.— The example is cheering, and capable of exciting to imitation. The diffusion of the elective franchise among a great number of individuals ennobles the new possessors, and throws fresh difficulties in the way of bribery, as it multiplies the objects to whom it must be applied. We congratulate the men of Rye on their succors. We hope they will use their victory with moderation, and exercise their right with purity and independence. It may be expected that the other cirque ports—Romney, Hythe, Winchelses, and Has tings—will now soon appear in the field of battle— in the fair field of constitutional battle, and in like manner succeed in conquering their electoral privileges. They will have the experience of the men of Rye to guide *sm.—Tines. ANNIVERSARY DlNNER.—Yesterday the supporters of that excellent Institution, " the Licensed Victuallers' School," was celebrated at Eyre Tavern, st. John•-_,Wood. At four o'clock, Henry Gaitskell, Esq. took the Chair.— After an excellent dinner, Non nobis Domi ne was sung in exce ll ent style. The first toast from the Chair was, " God bless the King—may he speedily be restored to health." The toast was drank with the most fervent affec tion; after which the National Anthem was sung by the whole of the Vocal company with exquisite feeling. After the usual toasts, and many good speeches, this happy and respectable body separated, greatly delighted with the very fine day and the evening's entertainment. Towards the conclusion of the evening, there was a brilliant dis nril, firs-works, u principal nder at theit oi. superin tendence of Mr. PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE. An active canvass is now going on, in at lealt tit„ counties of the north of Ireland. It is very probable tlrit several of them will be the scenes of a severe struggle :it the ensuing election ; but Down and Derry are at CI, time marshalling themselves for a fierce and determined contest. KERRY ELECTION.—We are authorized to state that the Honourable Mr. Browne will certainly offer himself as a candidate for the representation of Kerry, at th.. next election. There will be, we understand, either three or four candidates for the next election, under any cir cumstances.— Trake Mercury. The woollen trade of Witney, which has b een f„. some years past progressively on the increase, has be en lately in a state of great activity. The demand for blan kets, &c. is unusually great. —G lasgotv Chronicle. Monmouth wool fair was held on Wednesday. Fine long combing wool brought 13s. per stone, which was an advance of 2s. and, indeed, the whole averaged Is. lid more than in 1829. There was a large quantity brough. to market, and very little left unsold.—Bath Chronicle The carpet manufactures are very brisk at present The low price of wool has enabled the makers to brint t them forward so cheap as greatly to increase consump tion.--Glasgow Chronicle. On Saturday last, at Wrotham, a man inhumanly bit off a considerable part of his mother's nose, and attempted to tear out her tongue. He was taken into custody, and yesterday committed to the county prison.-111«idst(0,, Journal. The Bath court authorities are compelled to refuse ex ecutions against the person, the gaol being quite full ; and we understand there are more insolvents confined preparatory to their taking the benefit of the act than were ever before known.—Bristol Mercury. On Sunday last there were thirteen baptisms at our parish church, and it was remarked as a singular circum stens° that twelve of the children were girls.—Blac4- buns Gazette. A young man named Branwood, a tinman, destroyed himself at an earl• hour on Saturday morning by cutting his throat with a razor, in a pig-stye, near the Seven Houses. It is a remarkable fact that a brother and sis ter of this ill-fated individual have also, within a felt years, ended their lives by suicide, the former by hang. Mg, and the latter by drowning.— Wolverhampton aro nick. " An ingenious mechanic in the neighbourhood of Hull, has invented a small lamp, which may be attashed spectacles of a particular description, by means of which, and a reflector, any person may read in the darkest night ; and the contrivance is such, that the only light visible is on the part of the book that is read."—So says a London paper. If there be such a mechanic in Hull as the party alluded to, we fear he hides his light undet a bushel, at least as far as regards his neighbours.— Han Packet. The coal works in Scotland are not so much subject to destructive explosions of gas as those in Northumber land; yet they do not wholly escape the dangerous visi tation. On Thursday morning, as tho colliers at Drum kavel were preparing to begin to work, one of them lighted a candle at a safety-lamp held by another. He then stuck it in his cap, and was proceeding along the mine, when the inflammable air exploded, and knocked the whole of the men down upon the floor. The indivi dual, whose want of caution had caused the catastrophe. was killed on the spot, another man shared the same fate, and two others were dangerously wounded.— Glasgow Chronicle. On the 10th inst. a field of hay, computed at 250 stones an acre, belonging to Major Baird, of Park, was cut down, and, although the weather has been rather un• propitious for the process of hay-making, it is now in pretty large ricks. With dry weather, the cutting of that crop will be general in the course of eight days. In the Canoes it will be somewhat unequal, some fields averaging 200 stones, others not above half that quantity. In the dry fields it is uniformly good ; upon the whole it will be fully an average crop.— Glasgow Chronicle. PRESBYTERY OF DUMBABION:ROW HFREST.—A meeting of this Presbytery was held on Tuesday, when, as it was understood that the case of the Rev. Mr. Camp bell, of Row, was to come under the consideration of the Reverend Court, the audience was numerous, numbers being present from both sides of the Gareloch. The Mo derator' Mr. Carr, of Lusa, was in the chair. After thi from the parish of Row had been called on. and they bad been asked if they wished to convert their memorial into a libel, they replied in the affinuative ; when a desultory discussion took place, and it was lat terly unanimously agreed that a presbyterial visitation of the parish of Row should take place on Thursday, the Bth of July, when the Minister of the parish should preach on his usual subject, and that the Moderator be appointed to preach there on the 27th instant, and intimate the same from the pulpit. —Edinburgh Observer. We understand that it has been determined at the meet ingof Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, that it shall be opened on the 15th of September, along the whole line. It is stated, on good authority, that the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the FArl of llarrowbv, Mr. Huskisson, and several other persons of distinguishea rank and talent, intend to be present at the opening. It is pro bable that the opportunity presented by this visit will not be allowed to pass without some expression of respect and admiration towards the conqueror of Waterloo, the pacifi cator of Ireland, and the successful assertor of religious liberty.—Liverpool Times. On Saturday the unmereantile demand for gold rather increased at our banks. The increase may have Fra ceeded solely from the circumstance of Saturday being our principal market-day. The demand is universally supposed to have tended to keep prices down. It seems entirely confined to this neighbourhood, and to the infe rior class of farmers. We do not recollect to have ever before witnessed a demand of the kind that had not some connection with anxiety respecting the solvency of the quarter from which gold was required. Upon this occasion we do not perceive a trace of the slightest shade of that sort of uneasiness. The more intelligent portion of the community appear to look upon the policy of the measure as distant and extremely doubtful, while they consider its disadvantages to be certain and immediate, particularly to the farmers themselves.— Waterferd Mirror. Some gentleman, a member of the Independent Cha pel of this town, wrote to Mr. Serjeant Wilde, pointing out to him the state of the funds of the chapel ; to which he promptly replied, with an inclosure of ten pima; also, with a most just feeling, and without application, inclosed the same amount to the Methodist Society, in consequence of which the members and friends held a meeting on Monday last in the Vestry, Balderton-mil and most cordially and unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Serjeant Wilde for his liberal donation. Mr. Berjeant Wilde has remitted to the treasurer of the Benevolent Society his annual donation of three guineas. Mr. Serjeant Wilde, with one exception, we believe, has been engaged in every calms in the Court of 'Common Pleas during the Term; and we are happy to hear his health is unmspaired.-.Newark <:~ .
