The capture of Algiers, which—without any deviation from veracity—we may say, was first communicated to the Public through this Journal, is an event, as we have more than once expressed to our readers, which we consider, in all probability, pregnant with the most important future consequences. The intelligence has been received, by the different parties in France, in a manner fully to corroborate the views we have taken, as to the nature of those results. Judging of the sentiments of those parties, by their media of commu nication—the Journals—we observe nothing to make us believe that either party will be very adverse to the measure of adopting the conquest permanently. The Journal du Commerce—an avowed liberal print— openly declares the propriety of retaining it; and argues, forsooth, that the gratitude and equity of all Eu rope should not envy the. French in the obtain ing this new addition to their territory, as a re muneration for clearing the Mediterranean of a nest of pirates, which had obstructed the commerce of the civilized world for so many years. It is observable that the liberal journals never place in question, that the intention of the Government is so to retain it :—they, in fact, by con stantly repeating their own views, appear actuated by an anxious desire to hold the Government to that point and we are fully persuaded, that if ever the present French Ministers venture on the measure of relinquishing their possession of the African shore, they will do that which will injure them more in the estimation of their country men, than anything it is in the power of their infatuated policy to contrive. The idea of improving their popularity by the conquest of Algiers, to be followed by its aban donment, is indeed an absurdity not unworthy of them ; but we think they will—even if so absurdly inclined— find that the measure would be almost impracticable. It is true they returned from Greece ; but the two cases are not sufficiently parallel to admit of an analogical con clusion. We are not partial to the venturing criticisms on our contemporary journalists. Controversy is a thorny path, which we do not wish to tread unnecessarily ; but it becomes a duty to the public, and even to a Con temporary, $o indicate an error, when that error may have a tendency to involve real mischief. We regretted much to perceive, in the Intelligence of last Sunday, a paragraph, the object of which could only be, to wound the feelings of an illustrious DUKE. We could have hoped, that whatever enmity may exist in individuals towards any member of the Royal Family, the present circumstances might have occasioned, at least, a suspension of hostilities. That was, we say the least that we could have expected ; but we must add, that we honestly expected much more. Every person of sound patriotism in the British Empire must have regretted—most deeply regretted—every occasion when any Member of the Royal Family has been made the object of personal attack ; and every such per son in the British Empire, we are sure, have experienced the utmost gratification at perceiving, that the very first exemplary impression which our present Monarch. has made upon the minds—and we may add the hearts—of his people, has been made by a display of domestic virtue, and unexclusive family union. No King can set an ex ample more advantageous to the people of Britain, and more consonant to their habits and feelings, than that example which tends to promote the preservation— the nurturing in the human bosom—the increase —of the family affections ; and we sincerely congra tulate our country that it has much reason for confi dence, that no King will supply this truly national-- this Kingly example—in greater perfection than our pre sent Monarch. We, therefore, did hope that any thing which could have a tendency to disturb the present happy tranquillity of public feeling, would not find a person incorrect enough to bring it forth, or countenance it. It is im posible, we are well aware, by an unauthenticated pars vaph, to have any the least effect, however malignantly intended, in alienating the affections of the Royal 'Brothers; but an unauthenticated paragraph may have a tendency to di'tnrb the important moral effect of the example, to which we have thought it our duty to _ aside. We conceive that a rational respect for the royal office, and the individuals who are so connected in idea with that office, cannot be diminished without injury to the most important interests of the nation. We feel confident that the paragraph alluded to, has been inserted in the columns of our respectable Con- temporary, by accident ; and is more a slip of the scissors than the pen, to both of which instruments, it is no secret to the public, we are so much indebted. Down till three o'clock this day, no other particulars regarding the capture of Algiers, or the fate of the Der, have transpired, further than will be found under our department of foreign intelligence. To these extracts from the French papers, we request the attention of our readers as confirmatory of the facts and opinions set forth by us so early as last week ; and particularly on Saturday afternoon. We have Demerara Papers this day to the 30th May. The rains had been incessant, and had much retarded the making of sugar. These papers contain a further Ordi nance respecting the slaves, by which it is provided that the exemption from labour does not authorize them to leave the estates to which they belong, and decrees that every female slave who may have a child in wedlock, shall, six weeks after its birth, receive from her owner, or his attorney, twelve guilders; and fifteen guilders for every other child she may bear under the same circumstances ; and that when any female slave shall have six children, and the youngest have attained its seventh year, the owner shall not oblige her to do any labour in the fields, or any other than light work under a penalty of 201. Every planter or, proprietor of slaves is compelled to have provision-grounds on his estates, calculating one acre for every five negroes,' allowing moreover a reasonable weekly allowance, as is the custom of the Colony, and proper clothes, under a penalty, of five pounds for every acre, and ten pounds for every slave not provided with his proper allowance. It is far ther ordered that the hours for the field-work of slaves shall be from 6 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in, the evening, and slaves employed in preserving the crops' shall have at least eight hours rest. No person, under a penalty of 301. can bury any slave who has died suddenly, or under suspicious circumstances, until previous information to the authorities be given. The act for establishing Savings' Banks for slaves, is to keep in full force. - It is declared unlawful to flog any male slave until after sunrise of the day following the commission of the offence. During the hours of full work, two hours are to be allowed for rest and meals. No slave shall be lawfully hired without the consent of l his owner or manager, and any person employing any slave or slaves, without such consent, to forfeit 401. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals as yet of consequence ; the French Mail is due, and not a single ship letter has come to hand this morning, consequently, we are barren of intel ligence. Consols which left off yesterday at 931 1 for the Account, opened at the same price, and are at pre sent 931 to 94 for next time. Account 941 buyers. We are anxiously awaiting for further details in re gard to the surrender of ♦lgiers, which cannot be ex pected till to-morrow. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Accounts from St. Barto, via America, to the 28th May, state, that the crops of Sugar throughout the Island are much injured from the floods of rain experienced for six weeks past.—Letters from Trinidad say, that one-half is lost, and the balance will be good for little. Advices from Porte Rio, of 18th May, state, that the injury sus tained by the rains is without example. From St. Kitts and Antigua they have also been inundated, and the crops have suffered severely. The accounts received yesterday in regard to Bolivar having embarked at Santa Martha, are rather contradic tory—as private letters have been received from Santa Martha of the 22d May, where it was said he had arrived and embarked, and:make no mention of that event, or of his arrival there ; but the accounts from Maracaubo, of the 15th May, say, that by au express received a few days since, it appears that all Colombia is in favour of Peel,' and that Bolivar, with his suite, had left Bogota for Carthagena, there to embark for the colonies ; and, if this be true, business will again revive. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. We have no account as yet of the arrival of the French mail, which prevents us from receiving any further details of what is passing at Algiers. Consols have continued during the morning at 931 for tho account, alternately buyers and sellers, with no ope rations of magnitude. _ _ In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds, which re ceded in the early part of the morning, have regained their former price. ELECTIONB.—It may not be generally known to our readers that, by an Act passed in the ninth year if his late Majesty's reign, cap. 59, the duration of the poll in cities, boroughs, and . towns, is limited to eight ; days, exclusive of Sundays and where the electors exceed six hundred, the returning officer, upon the requi sition in writing of any candidate or his agent, is bound ' to divide the usual polling-place into compartments .for voting, so that there shall be a compartment for every six hundred voters. If the usual place be too small for this arrangement, the returning officer is, if required,to erect, in the nearest convenient place, additional polling places, di vided as before mentioned. The expense is to be paid by the candidates in equal proportions ; and if either candidate do not assent thereto, before the proclamation of the re turn is made, then the person who put such candidate in nomination is to bear share of the expenses. Any person who shall be employed at an election, or within 6 months previously, or within 14 days after its completion, as counsel, agent, attorney, poll clerk, flagman, or in any other capacity, and shall at any time, either before, dur ing, or after such election accept, or take from any can didate, or from any person whatsoever, for, or in consider ation of, or with reference to such employment, any money, retaining fee, office, place, or emolument, or any promise or security whatsoever, shall be incapable of voting • t such election, and his vote, if, given, shall be void. As some misapprehension exists as to the use of colours, cockades, &c. at elections, we have re f erre d to the act, and find that the prohibition only extends to the candidate who is elected, by himself or agent, giving or allowing cockades, after the taste of the writ, or the seat is vacant ; and that there is nothing restraining voters from purchasing or using colours or receiving them from any other person than the member who is elected, or hie agents. BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH. • Windsor, Julyl3, IBM BY COMMAND 01.1115 MAJESTY. Nodee is hereby given, that the Carriages of those Persons form ing the Funeral Procession of his late Majesty, at Windsor Castle, on Thursday, the 15th instant, are to enter through the Park Gate opposite the Long Walk, pass through George the Fourth's Gate. met down at the Visitor's door, and go out at the new gate near the Devil's Tower. The carriages may rentain on the Green. - 0 1 1 VM 4P • 7 3 16 ' . erg . 0 1. 47 S cocks - 1 - :‘ 7- r A Lai; E ce. His Majesty has determinetl to prorogue this Session of Parliament in person. This day week is the day when it is expected it will take place. The King is expected in town this day, for the pur pose of holding a Council. l'rince George of Cumberland will accompany the King throughout the solemn ceremony of following the remains of his late Majesty to the tomb. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreig n-office, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Ba thurst, Roslyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Alurray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries. The Council broke up about four o'clock. Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Horries, visited the Duke of, Wellington yesterday. The Prussian and Spanish Ministers transacted busi ness yesterday with the Earl of Aberdeen, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord Beresford left town on Saturday for the Con- tinent. • The Marquis of Camden left town on Saturday for the Isle of Wight. We hear from undoubted authority that His Majesty made no will, and the whole of his immense wealth and effects will therefore either vest absolutely in his succes 4or, or be enjoyed by his present Majesty as the pro perty of the Crown.— Times. Sir George Nayler has devoted the most unremitting attention to the numerous applications for admissions to the funeral of his late Majesty, and the officers of the Earl Marshal's department have been making the great est exe•tions to afford every facility and accommodation that the nature of the chapel will admit, but the limits are so confined, compared with the demand for places, that it will be impossible to gratify all the applicants. His Majesty is about to establish a new Windsor uniform, to be worn by the visitors of the Castle, who will not be expected to appear there in regimentals or Court dresses. The Kinr, it is understood, will visit Portsmouth on the Ist of August. The King, we are happy to hear, has set his face against the dirty Jewish practice of wearing mustachios. Apartments have been taken, some days past, for Prince Paul of Wirtemberg and suite, at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street. His Royal Highness is expected to arrive from Dover this day. Mr. George Mundy, son of General Mundy, has been appointed Page of Honour to the Queen. The present King is (though the fourth King William of England) the first English King of his name ; Wil liam I. and 11. being Normans, and William 111. a Dutchman. _ _ We learn with much pleasure that the highly-respected nobleman, the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, is to be created a Marquis. The Noble Lord and his family have long been honoured with the distinguished friendship of his Majesty. The Countess of Brownlow, the Earl's daugh ter, has been appointed one of the Queen's Ladies of the Bedchamber.—Plymouth Herald. It is now mentioned that the prorogation (or dissolu tion) of Parliament will not take place till Friday week, owing to the delay occasioned by the East Retford Bill ; and it is added that his Majesty will is person, and not by Commission, as was at first contemplated, take leave of the Parliament. Orders were yesterday at the House of Lords to make preparations accordingly ; and when the Lords are not assembled the workmen are proceeding with the requisite preparations and renovations. Ihe Lords have examined witnesses for and against the East Retford Bill during the afternoons and evenings of twenty-three days of the present Session, besides the time consumed in hearing Counsel pro and con ; they have examined one hundred and twenty witnesses in sup of the Bill, and thirty witnesses in opposition : the evi dence adduced by the said -one hundred and fifty wit nesses occupying nearly one thousand folio printed pages —and almost all' the said witnesses having been sup ported at the public expense, by orders from a Committee of Lords on the Treasury ! With that affability and condescension for which the whole of his family has ever been distinguished, his Ma jesty, on addressing one of his dinner guests, on Friday last, was pleased to observe " though we shall be some what farther apart, if you will come and see me at Wind sor, I dare say we shall be able to find you a bed in the Castle." This settles the doubtful point of the King's intention of making it his residence, from the circum stance of his having been heard to declare, just prior to the demise of the Crown, that he should have the Palace at Hampton Court fitted up for such purposes.—Herald. The following was the order for general mourning on the death of Queen Anne, which occurred in August 1714 :—" It is expected that all persons upon the pre sent occasion of the death of her late Majesty, of blessed memory, do put themselves into the deepest mourning (long cloaks excepted). The said mourning to begin upon Tuesday, the 15th instant (August). And that as well all lords, privy councillors and officers of her Ma jesty's household, do cover their coaches, chariots, and chairs, and clothe their livery servants with black cloth by Sunday, the 22nd inst. And that no person whatso ever, for the first six months, put any escocheons of arms, or arms painted on their coaches, nor use any varnished or bullion nails to be seen on their coaches, chariots, or chairs ! " It is said that Lord Lansdowne is to succeed Sir R. Peel, who is to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, vice Mr. Goulburn ! Mr. Huskisson to succeed Mr. Hanes; and Lard Palmerston to resume his situation at the War Office. The King has nominated three militia officers as his Aids-de-Camps, one from the militia of each kingdom. Col. Wood, of the East Middlesex regiment, who mar ried a sister of the late Marquis of Londonderry, and is member for Breconshire, has been selected for this die tinguisbed honour from the English constitutional force, but the names of the other two, from the Irish and Scotch bodies, have not yet transpired. The dissolution of Parliament may not perhaps be the signal for the dissolution of the Ministry ;—but one measure is only the forerunner of the other. The meet ing of the new Pediment it is said will be held In October, but before that time, no doubt can exist that the feelings of the country will be so* abundantly expressed, that no administration, however powerful, can bear up against it. And an administration so weak as the pre sent, which avowedly exists upon the breath of one man, and that man an unpopular man, and by no means a favourite at Court, can have little hope.—Chelt. Jour.l PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCL THE ELECTIONS. The spirit of electioneering is rife throughout the land, and no where is there a greater stir than in Ke n t. The `county members, we believe, will walk over the course, ass su c n h o e p x e p r e s r o i n enc t appo p r e ie a s r . ed Th t er m e n n,t i es l I , t h t o h i e ve s y t e ai r i , e b s e a p ga le i n n t s y t of Doil w s e h ll a_r f p o I g v h r te k n fo n e r d t f minor e plates. v e e v s e d r y w ec l l b a e r e d a their intention of starting for the honour of its represen tation. should not find it convenient to bolt off the course. Mr. Poulett Thomson and Sir John Rae Reid, together with Mr. Halcomb, the barrister, and hon. secretary, pro tem. to the anti-Catholic petitioners, are the present can didates, Mr. Trant having retired. With respect to Mr. Thomson, we apprehend there can be no doubt of his return, for as a practical man he has few equals either in or out of Parliament. The town of Hythe has been addressed by Mr. S. Marjoribanks and Mr. John Loch, who was lately elected. No other candidate having ap peared, there is little probability of a contest in that quer ter. Sandwich is pretty much in the same quiet disposi tion. Sir H. Fane and Mr. Joseph Marryat will make their best bow to the free barons, and exeunt omnes. Ro chester, however, presents a different aspect. The spirit stirring notes of the battle-call have been sounded from the quarters of more than one competitor. Mr. Bernal's banners are floating on the " outmost wall ; " but Gene ral Dundee having sounded a retreat, Mr. Hughes Hughes and Lord Villiers, the eldest son of the Earl of Jersey, have entered the arena. It is also understood that Colonel Fitzclarence, the son of our present Sove reign, is disposed to start for the prize. As yet, how ever, there is no formal declaration to that effect. Can terbury will have its " tilt and tournament," if Mr. Wells should not swerve from his plighted troth to " take care of the rights of the citizens." Unless it be to defend those rights in the Senate, we cannot guess what be means by this enigmatical phrase. Lord Clifton, the son of the Earl of Darnley, and the Hon. Richard Watson, of 10th Light Dragoons, have already thrown down the gauntlet, and report says that it has been picked up by another " mailed hand," Mr. Henry Baring of the Life Guards, having privately canvassed some good citizens for the " honour of their votes and interest." Mr. Wells has not commenced his canvass, but his friends are exerting themselves in his behalf. Mr. Lushington remains in India —what will become of Canterbury ? With one brief admonition to electors, we close our sketch of the struggle. Support no man for the sake of party : respect no man for his high alliance, or the splendour of a name. Merging all petty dissensions amongst yourselves, let it be your object to return practical men,who have acted up to their principles, and take not "idle promises for true pay." COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY OF IRISH ELECTION EERINO.—The following Irish members have resigned the representation of their respective places in Par liament :—Lord Stopford and Mr. Shapland Carew, the county Wexford ; Hon. Robert King, the county Ros common ; Hon. John Boyle, the county Cork ; Hon. Charles Butler Clarke, the county Kilkenny ; Mr. Leslie Foster, die county Louth; Mr. M'Naghten, the county Antrim ; Mr. Stewart, the county Londonderry ; Sir G. Hill, the city Londonderry ; and, it is said, Mr. Doherty, the city Kilkenny. Lord Glentworth has just an nounced his intention to start for the Town of Mallow. The Knight of Kerry has adressed his constituents, but says nothing about the taxes. The hon. Wm. Browne is pursuing an active canvass through the county, in com pany with John O'Connell, Esq. Major Crosbie is equally on the alert. It is uncertain if Lord Ennismore will stand for Kerry this election ; he has not yet ad dressed the electors. His Lordship enjoys powerful influence both in this County and Cork. Judge Day's interest does not go to the Crosbie family in the ap proaching election for Kerry, as had been supposed. The Cork Constitutional Brunswick Club, composed mostly of freemen, are determined to support Mr. Gerard Callaghan for Cork. Mr. Valentine Blake is resolved upon contesting the town of Galway with Mr. O'Hara, the present member. His effort, it is said, will be inef fectual. The Marquis of Clanricarde gives his most strenuous support to his uncle, Sir John Burke, in his canvass to represent the county Galway. Mr. James re turn is certain, It is now understood that Mr. William S. O'Brien will be re-elected for the borough of Ennis. Thomas Lloyd, Esq. barrister-at-law, is appointed by the High Sheriff of the County Clare, his assessor at the ensuing election. It is now said that Mr. O'Con nell will stand for the County Louth. Mr. Shiers re turn is certain. The family and friends of Mr. O'Con nell are most anxious lie should retire from Parliamen tary life, to which they say be is sacrificing his health and his peace. Already two candidates are in the field for the representation of Wexfonl—Lord Valentia, son of the Earl of Nlountuorris, a nobleman posses sing the fee of above thirty thousand acres in the County Wexford, and Mr. Cadwallader Waddy. Mr. Lawless says he is determined to meet the inde pendent electors of Meath on the hustings the first day of election. The Earl of Ossory, nephew of Mr. But ler Clarke, the present member, is a candidate for the county Kilkenny. Mr. Solicitor-General Doherty is mentioned as a candidate for the City of Dublin : lie retires from the storm gathering against him in Kil kenny. Mr. White will be re-elected for Leitrim, though a severe contest is expected. The freemen of Waterford are about to start a candidate against their present mem ber, Sir John Newport. Rumour says, Mr. Thomas Bonapart Wyse will be a candidate for the City of Wa terford ! The Orange freemen of Dublin are more in clined to support Colonel Connelly (if he starts) than Mr. Moore. it James Stronge, a new candidate, has ad dressed the electors of the County Tyrone. John M. Cle ments, Esq. is again a candidate for the County Leitrim, and Sir Hugh Stewart has started for the County Tyrone. Lord Belfast and Mr. *Donnell, of Glenarm Castle, contest the county Antrim. Alderman John C. Beres ford and his brother, Mr. Barre Beresford, enjoy pen. -.a of 2,5001. a year from the Crown. These men support Captain Jones, R. N. a candidate county Londonderry, against Mr. George It. - the present member. The Marquis of Londonderry reported to have offered one of the seats for the Derry to Sir James Bruce, and Mr. Thomas Staples, both declined the honour on the conditions it dered. Sir Robert Bateson has now the interest Noble Peer. The other new candidate is Captain R. N. The Irish Society and the London Drapers' pang support Mr. G.
