From his long connection with you, and his intimate knowledge of the true interests of his Con. - aliments, and the place be has so conscientiously represented; his Committee submit that he bin every way better qualified to main tain your dignity and rights, than an individual who is an entire stranger to the Freemen of Berwick, and utterly ignorant of the 'best interests of the Borough.

TIIE EVENING STAR. • Ir.. ... ±•. 01 ,314 ..:41.;" • . • r.(►N DI )N, SATURDAY. JULY 10. SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE, HALF-PAST THREE. We stop the Press to announce that we have received the following communication from a highly respectable quarter, and we lose no time in laying it before our readers. PRIVAI E LETTER FROM DOVER, HALF-PAST EIGHT THIS HORNING. " There is a packet just landed from Calais, bringing the news of the PALL of ALGIERS on the sth of July, , without/ring a gun." We have Newfoundland papers to the 17th ult. His Majesty's ship Champion had arrived from Halifax. It was understood that her Commander had instructions to accompany the Governor to the French shores of St. Peters, whither his Excellency intended to proceed in about a fortnight, for the purpose of obtaining correct , information with respect to the relative rights of the English and French fisheries. The Rev. EDWARD WEN had been appointed Archdeacon of Newfound land by the Lord Bishop of the diocese. MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT JACKSON.—By advice,' from Washington, we have the following message from General JACK SON to the Congress, respecting the nego ciations with Great Britain :—" Gentlemen,—l think it my duty to inform you that I am daily expecting the definitive answer of the British Government to a proposi tion which has been submitted to it by us upon the subject of the colonial trade. This communication has been delayed by a confident belief that the answer referred to would have been received early enough to have admitted its being submitted to you in sufficient season for the final action of Congress at its present Session, and is now in duced by an apprehension, that although the packet by which it was intended to be sent is hourly expected, its arrival may, nevertheless, be delayed until after your adjournment. Should this branch of the negotiation committed to our minister be successful, the present interdict would never theless be continued until the next Session of Congress, as the President has in no event authority to remove it. Althoggh no decision had been made at the date of l our last advices from Mr. M'Lane, yet from the general' character of the interview between him and those of his Majesty's Ministers, whose particular duty it was to confer with him on the subject, there is sufficient reason to expect a favourable result to justify me in submitting to you the pi opriety of providing for a demise in the recess. This may be done by authorising the President, in case an arrangement can be effected on such terms as Con gress would approve, to carry the same into effect on our part by proclamation, or, if it should be thought ad visable, to execute the views of Congress by like means in event of an unfavou-able decision. Any information in the possession of the executive, which you may deem necessary to guide your delibera tions, and which may, under existing circumstances, be proper to communicate, will be promptly laid before you if required. (Signed) ANDREW JACKSON. Although the despatches from the Algiers expedition- 1 sty army—as it is terineti—to its government, and from the French Admiral upon that station, show very plainly that more dithculty is encountered, and to be encountered, than was expected, it appears not to prevent the lively and sanguine temperament of our neighbours, from indulging a little against the popular adage of not calculating the advantages of what is not in actual possession ; or—if the admirers of Lord Chesterfield will • excuse us for quoting the.whdom of ages, " reckoning chickens before they arAtatched." We perceive various rig*, in the Conseikttfornse/, and the other French ral)ouinals, eideiketilteg to prove how important the -parathion dr the Algid& coast of the Mediterranean will prove to the Frenc'lt %Won; and, more particularly in case of a war with this country. Now we sue their reasoning on this subject is any thing but coirect, if they allude to any proximate contingency ; for, In' of war soon occurring, we should doubt very much how far the possession would prove of any value, or even tenable. In case the peace be continued, we think it undoubtedly will be of real importance ; and, at all events, these speculations and high appreciations of the expected conquest, appearing—particularly in the Liberal Journals—show very clearly, that it is considered by them as to be a permanent addition to the dominion France. 1 If colonies of the French are to be formed along the African coast—if French experience in the arts o warfare, to select the most favourable spots for defend ing—and the well known science of that nation, is to be exerted in accomplishing what knowledge and expe rience in fortification can accomplish—and all this, to take place under the acquiesence or tacit influence, of the other rival powers in Europe, then, indeed, we should not be surprised, but that eventually the possessions in question might render every other power in the Mediterranean subordinate to the power of France.— We do not know how the proceedings of the French, • that quarter are viewed by our Government : for it is one merit of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Administration, and one for which it deserves great credit, although a little vexatious to the eye of Malign critics, that it does not babble forth its opinions, as other administrations have done, through Acid subordinates, or hired jour nalists. If, however, we may be allowed to conjec , ture on what we see, we should say, as the only mode of• explaining the unopposed progress of the French expe dition, that it can only arise from the most positive and satisfactory assurances of the French government, as to the temporary nature of the object of the expedition, and its future innoxious consequences ; accompanied by the most explicit confidence on the part of our Government in the good faith of those who are at present in the administration of French affairs. But it occurs to us, as the influence of the present French Governmen t ] is undergoing such a severe trial, that even its own inten tions may be frustrated, and its pledges of honour in-, voluntarily abandoned ; and this conjecture, which we have before referred to, is materially strength-' ened by the tone of the liberal papers when men- 1 tiontng the expedition : for it is to be observed that they hold up, as the important objects of the under taking, the permanent occupation of the African coast, and its national importance as so permanently occupied. It is on these grounds that it has obtained some popu larity ; and having so obtained it, we ask, is it likely that , the present French Ministry, under these circumstances, dare withdraw from the conquest if it should prove one, and thus extinguish the nascent hopes of Gallic ambition. On the contrary, is it not more more likely that they may discover the very infraction of their foreign engagements, the only means of future popularity and future security to the throne ? A of the communion-table is the entrance to the Royal tomb. The order is not yet arrived for opening the marble pavement, but all the necessary preFara dons were this day made to perform the workforth with. The iron -work, on which the coffin and its sup porting machine will rest, is ready : the diamond pave ment can be taken up in a moment, and the Portland stone removed : the blue mazarine campy is likewise ready ; it is richly ornamented, and a gilt crown will be suspended from this canopy over the coffin Three new polished brass chandeliers were yesterday hung in front of the communion table, to illuminate the bier and give light to the Dean and Heralds for the performance of their so lemn finictions, before the toffin is lowered into its rest ing place. His Majesty, as chief mourner, will sit in a black covered arm -chair, at one end of the coffin. —The other Royal Princes in their stalls, as Knights of the Garter. The parts of the choir which will be covered with black cloth_ are the stalls (already mentioned,) the seats and floor. West's paint ing of the Lord's Supper, and the rich covered oak work immediately ever the communion table, will be likewise concealed by the sable drapery ; but the great painted window above, representing the Resurrection of our SA•IOUR, will be seen to advantage. The choir will have the reflection of such " dim religious light," as the blaze of torches can extract from its massive colour ing. The organ gallery will be also covered with black cloth, as well as the whole nave and the seats in the north aisle, or rather standing steps, for such they are intended to be ; but the black covering will not ascend beyond the hand-railing at each side of the nave ; so that , the stained glass window at this extremity of the build ing, the fine stone roof, and the ancient Gothic pillars," will be fully seen. Besides the flooring throughout the whole range of St. George's Chapel, a double matting has been laid down under the bladk Cloth ; there is no reason to fear the recurrence of similar colds to those which were caught at former funerals, by contact with the marble pavement. Every precaution has been taken to prevent such consequences. In the arrangements for the lying in state, some al, terations have been made. From ten to four o'clock, on Wednesday and Thursday, will be the time appointed for the public admission to that ceremony. The general place of ingress and egress has been already described; namely, through Henry the Vlllth's gate, up the !owl ward, across an opening left near the iron gate of - terrace, and then through a temporary staircase the chamber where the body is placed, and the is through a new gate which opens at the spa. Mous area of the unfinished part of the new works. But there will be a private and separate entrance for the no bility and gentry who have special tickets. The public and the privileged few will, however, behold the ceremony at the same time, and without any inconvenient pre ference. The special tickets will admit only at the new gate between the York and Lancaster towers, which faces the Long Walk. The carriages will drive across the Quadrangle, direct to the grand staircase ; this communicates at once with the apartment where the lying in state takes place, where the special visitors ascend a platform, not unlike that at a panorama, and see the canopy, the coffin, &c. They retire ex actly by the same way. The public will pass in front, and under this platform moving in a distinct and unin terrupted passage. The canopy and platform on which Yesterday, Alderman Wool), in the absence of Sir F: the coffin will stand are finished in a neat purple dra- Burdett, presented a petition from copyitolders, lease- pery.

The speculators are waiting the arrival of an express from Paris. The Foreign Market also continues inactive, with little or no alteration of the prices of yesterday. The report which prevailed yesterday of the surrender of Algiers to the French is not as yet confirmed. Letters from Toulon state that a part of the French fleet have proceeded to Algiers to second the attacks going to be made against the batteries, on the coast be tween Cape Caxine and the Foubourg de Babalouet on one side, and on the other between Cape Matifoux and Fort Babazoun. The division of reserve is expected to sail on the 15th inst. for Africa. Accounts from Rio Janeiro state that the Duke of Santa Cruz, brother of the new Empress, sailed in a Brazilian frigate for Antwerp. Between the 15th and 30th April, 7,000 slaves were brought to Rio Janeiro from the coast of Africa. into Letters from New Orleans say that tobacco was look ing up in consequence of the low state of the waters up the country, and that 10,000 hogsheads, at least, were' expected to be detained. The same cause would detain the cotton in the upper countries. Consols have remained steady during the whole of the morning, at 93 2i fur the Account, with not a feature' I worth the least observation. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the Britieh. Greek Stock has rather improved.
