SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Trxes.—h has become a question--highly interesting, no doubt, but not yet ripe for radefactory settlement—to what extent, if at all, his Majesty's ministers are likely to be stren=lti s s: Parliament new forthcoming. Certainly there is no within our memory which held office and mated on the alffiles State with such small majorities in both Houses as that of the Duke of Wellington sham the opening of the session now, as we may say, expired. - We have often, however, stated it as our sincere opinion, that, provided a Government could keep the wheels t f State in mo ttos, the weaker it was in Parliamentary numbers, the more de sirable would it be that such an Administration should con tinue. A coalition Ministry, which combines the bulk of two great parties within it, is generally vicious from a double cause. Its members, for the most part, differ on political measures, and conciliate each other by a mutual complaisance in what concerns private jobs. Such a Ministry may be weak from inward dissension ; but it is bold and strong against both King and country. The advantage of a " broad-bottomed" Government like that above-mentioned, and the sole advantage, is the facility with which, where a useful measure has beat resolved on, and is to be carried, it can put down opposition within doors; as the only disadvantage of a Cabinet, numerically feeble in either house, is the extreme delay and hesitation with which, under his guidance, the publ tc business advances as the session proceeds. The Fox and North Administration was formidable from its factious ambition ; the Whig and GM. vine was paralysed by its own distractions. Theta gton ministry has too much perhaps disregarded an array of str gth in ordinary conflicts; and the consequence has been, some delay in the maism al affairs. Still great and useful measures have been firmly cemilneled to their close. On the eve of an election, the question which maws to every honest voter is, what candidates ought he now to o s i n i 4 Our own feelings are for the ministry of the Duke of W and we have more than once avowed them, because it doesnot to us that the state of parties, and the store of public men at present in this kingdom, would furnish a better nucleus for the government than the cabinet of the noble Duke. Those who used to be called the Whig party could not form an administration likely to last a month; nor the Tories,—we mean the Eldon and Newcastle *Fades,— one that could by possibility endure so long as the Gasetie account of their names offices was printing. N or could the body of extreme Whip and of ultra Tories roale..-• i but through sacrifices of all pre tence to principle, the consciousness of whhlch has already deterred their chiefs from aiming at the establishment even of a regular op position. How much more hopeless would be the effort to insofar,- tun a Government out of such materials I The natural solution of the crisis seems to be, the incorporation of moderate Tories, like the principals of the existing Cabinet, with other individuals holding the midway between Tories and Whip, if such men can be found, or with the least violent of the latter class of States men.—With regard to the tenets of candidates avowed upon the hustings, we have said before, that one test with us would be the dis position of the party towards a repeal of the corn law—a law fond on Ministers by the bigotry of the landed interest, and pressing ea all other interests—nay, on that itself—lite a nightmare. A mood test would be a pledge to cut down the Civil List, and to support, systematically and invariably, emomniml reform in every deportment of the State. A third pledge, which we should feel disposed 10 exact from candidates at this moment, would be one for establishing the right of representation in favour of great and populous t which doubtless are not adequately protected by their tbeoretial claims upon Parliament as a body, and for which we should be anxious to gain something, because they combine the three main titles to constitutional attention—property, intelligence, and num bers. There is no reason to apprehend that an attachment to the series of public objects which we have enumaated,would be incompa tible with a general support of the policy of the present Government. HEILALD.—Lest it, we received the Gaulle de Preset Saturday, together wi the lifesaver des Ckastbres, and other Paris papers of Friday. We have examined their contents with more than usual curiosity, in the expectation of finding amongst them a copy of the telegraphic despatch, announcing the fall Algiers, noticed by most of the London evening journals of Satur day. However, we might have spared ourselves the trouble of a inure minute examination than usual, as neither the Gazelle de Frazee nor any of the other papers contains the despatch, or so much as an allusion to it. In the meantime, a mars blundering despatch (if the copy which we received on Saturday evening from Calais be a faithful transcript, and it is attested " a true copy,o) never was published since the invention of the telegraph ; and, to convince the reader that we have not given an improper description of it, we give this precious document as it has been sent to us :—.. "Calais, July 9. 1830. " The following is a true copy of the telegraphic despatch ar rived here this evening, which I send you. If his of any use to you, use it; if not, excuse me in doing it," dm DEPECHE TELEORAPHIE DE PARIS, "De Juillet . 8, 1830. "Ls itIMISTRE DI LA MARINI AUX AU/MUTES. "Alger seat rendu i discretion, le pavilion du Roi de hones flottait sur le Palate du Dey--taken 1,500 guns, 12 vessels of war, the arsenal of war and marine, the provisions, and the Inns." This is a faithful transcript, as we said before, of the despatch as it has been sent to us • and we shall pass over its mixture of execrably bed French us; bad English, u this may be the act of the individual who has transmitted it, and who, forgetting part of the French version, endeavoured to supply the loss by sending it in bad English. But if that portion of it, which ap pears in a Gallic dress, be a " true copy," we have not the slightest hesitation to say that it is a spurious document. We do not rest our opinion upon the authograpLial and grammatical errors with which it abounds, as these may originate in the care lessness or ignorance of the transcriber; but we found it chiefly upon the following which is a gross 'violation of the style uniformly emplf;l a rt ' all official communizations. "Le pa vilion du Rol de France flottait cur le Palais du Dry." In all such communizations the phrase • Roi de France" is never used, but simply the word Rol. The sentence should, therefore, run thus : "Le pavillion du Rol flout (not flottait) sur le Palals," 4tc. We think another objection may be taken to the words " aux autorites," at the commencement of the despatch, as it is not to be supposed that the minister would omit to designate by name the chief person in office at Calais, whether maritime prefect, if any, or the sous pre fect of the department, or the mayor , or the commander of the garrison. This omission, and above all, thideparture from official custom in the wording of the despatch, completely justify the cha racter of blundering despatch which we have Oren to the copy that has been transmitted to us. AU this we do not consider as an absolute proof that the news is false, or that Algiers has not fallen in the way or at the time stated ; but we do say again, that the uncouth form in which it appears, induces us to suspend our belief, till we receive a confirmation of it through the usual and regular channeL That confirmation will, in all human probability, reach us in the course of the night, by a second express, provided there be any truth in the report; and, if it do not arrive, our present doubts will assume a character of more than suspicion. In the mean time, the news, if true, has been transmitted from Algiers to Paris with extraordinary rapidity. The last despatch which had been previously published, and which was dated the 30th, was seven days on the road, not having reached Paris till the 6i13; whereas the present is alleged to have been transmitted on the lith, and received on the 9:h, a circumstance which cannot be over looked in determining the degree of credit due to the account. The only thing on the subject of Algiers in the papers le merely a re petition of former news, and is only interesting as it does not prepare us in the slightest degree foi the immediate fall of that city. The rest of their contents relate chiefly to the elections, the results of which, as ascertained on Thursday evening, are thus given r For the Opposition .... . . 186 • For the Ministry . l2l Of no party Of the 221, who voted for the Address. 126 have been already re-elected, and only 13 rejected. Eleven nominations remained to be known, without including those of the adjourned Colleges, great and small, and which, it may be fairly presumed, have not been adjourned in consequence of their supposed partiality towards the present Blin istry. eIIitONICLE.—It is affirmed that there are fewer symptoms dean. test at the ensuing election than have beeen usual on foemeroceasions —that few counties either in England or Ireland, and few of the po pulous Boroughs,will be disputed We are willing to interprettavour. ably these signs of the times. With respect to the counties, no cue can wonder that the honour of sitting for one of them should be generally deemed a poor compensation for the expense of a contest—. In times of keen party dissension, we can easily understand how It may become an object with a party to return both the Candidates, or to endeavour to return one, when both have been mono polised by the other party. But in times like the present when every man views the question more with reference to himself individually than with reference to a party, the seat which is ob tained at the least expens e w ill usually be deemed the best seat. We do not hear that the price of boroughs has fallen; on the con trary, we believe them to be higher than ever; but caadidates, we suppose, take the price of close places as a pound for determining what open places may be advisable in them to stand for. We are almost certain, that if those who conduct the government of this country set with tolerable judgment, Nab a thing as party, in the as of that tenn, will be no kagewpseeible. If a Minister lets it be seen that he i* really desirous eireninekag the expediters of the country, he will have little to fear tank idols. It is to be borne in mind that the heavy charge for the interest of the national debt has • strong tendency to deaden party viebees. The fund foe distri bution among the friends of the sucanefid party bears but a small proportion to the whole expenditure, while, on the other hand, a large proportion of the interest of the national debt is payable to a wealthy woneyetK clas.l throughout: the cannery, who hovel bee thanes of obtaining government mousy than the aristeasey, properly s called, and who Sheraton have m interest in favouring, in the places where they peewees hawses, the ram at members dispomd tosupport economical measures. Great dumps have taken place in the dia. ftibution of in this within the last years; peoperty the number of men in lodgment's.' memos. is %pat er and, with the spread of indigenes, we may that this in dep endence will be mire and more usefully We are therefore inclined to think that every fresh election will strengthen the ability of the Govemoset to resist interested cabals and of this we are certain, that no Soseement of this country need any longer to be in apprehension at ki nd of great families, such as them alluded to in a pan. to which we lately alluded. We do not think that t allowance kin ge neral made for the increased lanspenetce throughout the country, from the greater diffusion of ty. When King drew up his account of England landsiwas I:h rei r 2. The franchise was then as much that of the = as if he had voted himself in right of his tenants. So late as 1784, when the first edition of Sir John Cullum's valuable " History and Antiqui ties of Hawsted" was published, the connection between landlord and tenant was almost as close as that between a Polish Lord and his slave. Sir John, living in one of the most improved counties of the Kingdom, Suffolk, says Till now, there used to be a close connection between the landlord and the tenant; the latter looking up to the former as his patron, and desirous of showing him every mark of 'attachment and respect ; but in the contested election for the County in April, 1784, when several gentlemen canvassed their tenants, they found they had already en gaged their first votes, and were even denied their second." Sir John was dreadfully alarmed at this new " feature in the charac ter" of the ago. Horace Walpole, I giving an account of his last election for Lynn, speaks of the people as having been little better than savages when he was before among them. After dwelling on his fatigues, he observes, " Yet to do the folks justice, they are sensible, and reasonable, and civilised ; their very language Is polished since I lived among them. I buts this to their more frequent intercourse with the world and the capital, by the help of good roads and post-chaises, which, if they have abridged the King's dominions, have at least tamed his subjects." It is not long since even Westminster was little better than a borottgh belonging to two or three noble families. The increasing respectability of the people will alone produce a consider able revolution in the mode of exercising the franchise. In many places the respectable inhabitants have had their eye on Westmin ster, and endeavoured, by combination, to thwart appeals to ignor ance and poverty.—Though, therefore, it would be vain to hope that men should expose themselves and their families to destruction by an Independent exercise of the suffasge, yet the number of those who can afford to be independent is constantly increasing; and the time may not be far distant when the number of independent places may be so great as to outweigh the close places so much as to render property lp in boroughs of little value. It is only the power of reach tublic purse, which gives value to rotten boroughs. FOREIGN INTELLIGRIVER.

Poitru..l.--Letters from Oporto of June 26, give a very gloomy account of the state of Portugal, from which many respect able families are said to be anigradag. Some uneasiness had been felt at Figttaira among the !Sneak residents, in consequence of a report that the arrest of several had been ordered ; but the alarm seems to have been unfounded. The Chrasietz de Terceira contains orders of the day by Count Villa Floe, some decrees of the Regency, an article or two in de fence of its proceedings, and an account of the arrival from time to time of some merehant vessels. In the Chronic. of the 12th of June we find the commencement of a republication of the laws of the Portuguese Monarchy, including of course the Charter, and the Decrees of the present Representatives of Donna Maria 11. A Lassas.—Accordin to the Courier Francois, Capt. Broom, the shipwrecked commander of Le Silene ' detained at the Bayne of Algiers, informed General Bourmont that the Divan had determined to behead the Dey. They had sent him a bowstring to strangle himself, and a deputation to cut off his head in public ; but that the cunning Barbarian had declined it, and sent Janissaries and Turkish soldiers to the Divan, who beheaded 60 of its members. The same paper also states that the fort de l'Etoile had been entered by the Preach, when they found it mined, and retreated just in time, after which It was blown up. M. Grassy de Haman, the Strulish Consul at Algiers, states its population as follows: Barbary men Moors, Arabs originally Bedouin Arabs ........... 200,000 Negroes _ . Jeis ....•.........•.•••...• 45,000 _ Turks and their desandests, Ca nEs 33,000 European Christians lieneigadoes ... 200 Total FRANCI.—PARIS, JULY Its-The nominations of the great col. leges prove the fatal influence which the law of 1828 has exercised on the minds of the electors. It cannot be forgotten that in 1890 there were 155 nominations of Royalists out of 172 in those colleges, and now, instead of 17, the Liberals will perhaps have 00. This state of things has been produced by the licentiousness of the peens, and by tho concessions made since 1828,and a new dissolution would produce elections that would be still worse: the only counterpoise which the King has to oppose to democracy, the right to dissolve, is de stroyed. It is, therefore, the constitution itself which is now in imminent danger. We read In a journal—' It appears that the King will not open in person the ensuing session. The President of the Council will merely announce the immediate presentation of the budget. As there will not have been any speech from the ihrone, the Chambers will have no opportunity of replying to it by a;threatening address.' (Fran the Meleager des Cha&,yes of Friday, July 8.) An express arrived yesterday from Toulan with despatches and letters from the army, dated the 27th of June. The despatches are said to contain longer details than the preceding of the battle of the 24th, the last affair in which the enemy acted on the offensive. On the 27th the army was half a league from Algiers. The telegraphic accounts yesterday inform us that, on the 30th, our army was be fore the feet of the Emperor, and the post of the vly above the Cassaba of Algiers. Private letters inform us, that fresh hordes • Bedouins and Berbera are coming from the environs of 'Freemen. Mascara, and other places in the interior, to intercept the communi. cations of the French army, which report describes to them as abounding in gold and silver. CONITANTINOPLI4 Jima 14.-.. The R glish Legation has re ceived the news that the Prince of Saxe-Coburg refuses the throne of Greece. This news has put the whole diplomatic body into a bustle. The Ministers of the Porte seem very indifferent about it : they pretend to care very little about knowing who will reign in Greece, and think that that country, left to itself, will furnish the best proof that it was wrong to support its insurrections. The emi gration of the Greeks continues in the provinces which are still sub ject to the Turkish dominion. AAIERICAN PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Lirsztar INTELLIGENCE. !the time that Mr: Buckingham commenced to run an opposition journal, the Asiatie has gone on perceptibly improving, and it has for some time been, we th ink, one of the most interesting and well conducted miscellanies which issues from the periodical press. Its rival is now no mono--or has undergone skied of metempsychosis, almost to the destruction of its identity. • The Oriental Nereid, in its early days, possessed many excellent qualities; but the Editor injured it by sacrificing its general Asiatic literature to the admission of what became tedious disquisitions on the political questions respecting the East India Company and the Indian press, which were engaging, so unremittingly, the energies of its enterprising author. We hope the Oriental Review may be more successful ; and that now that the Asiatic Journal once more runs over the ground alone, that its conductor will not allow himself to slumber on the box, as is so often the case where there is no oppo sition. That is not shown to be the case in the present number. The first article, "On the Coincidences observable among the Nations of Antiquity ;"—and another article, by the same writer, entitled, " Philological Conjectures," are of a chise l of communications of which, as a hint to the Editor, we should say that two in one number is one too many ; for the learning is so, recondite, and the acquirements requisite even for understanding them, viz. a knowledge of Hebrew, Arabic, Hiodostanee, Sancrit, and Greek—so seldom possessed, that we are sure but very few reader can glean amusement from such productions, however cre ditable to the author and,the journal. As far as we have been able to penetrate to the reason ing of the first essay, it certainly develop's some curious ) coincidences ; but etymologists are, of all literary theorists, those who meet frequently bewilder themselves with fallacies ; and times who have any doubt of what we now say, have only to turn to the works of Whiter, Bayley, Perron, Bryant, Davies, and many others. The error which we think Mr. Wait has committed in this essay, is the error common to them all. They notice coincidencies, or form them, by the most amusing combinations, omissions, or distortions, between certain words or phrases of similar, or something which they please to call similar sense, in languages considered distinct from each other ; and they jump to the conclusion that these coin cidences prove the existence of one original tongue. Mr. Wait, In the present paper, endeavours to show, and has shown, that dif ferent nations have adopted certain phraseology or modes of ex pression on certain occasions; but we should say this only proves the uniformity of the human intellect in all times and countries, and not the existence of any actual con nection or communication between the nations so alluded to. In the last paper—" The Philological Conjectures"—we think him likewise too easily pleased with his coincidence between the old Bri tish and t3anscrit ; and too much attached, like Davies, to help out his theories by imagination. The paper on the East India Question we shall not speak of bare, as we mean to exclude from this department dour journal, as mach as possible, all subjects not purely literary. The " Travels in Japan, by Don Roderigo de Vivero y Velasco," are a curious ad dition to our stock of information on that country ; and we cannot help, while reading, regretting the ill-judged policy which checked the energies of the late Sir Stamford Rallies, who would probably have accomplished a valuable commercial Stet course with that curious part of the world. The paper, in reply to M. Klaproth, on the Chinese Dictionary of Morrison, we trust is successful in the maintenance of that gentleman's title to the pos session of real Chinese learning. The article on Avdall's Hiellsy of Armenia, is peculiarly interesting ; and so, ins still greats daps, is that on the manners of the Tibetans. It Is such papers as these that we appreciate more highly than any others. From s letter on Communication with India, we shall make the following extracts, as we think the suggestions all practicable. and most heartily wish them to obtain attention : " It is certainly rather strange, when we consider the innumerable improvements that have been effected by British skill and British capital, even in the most remote corners of the globe, since the com mencement of the present century, that as yet no attempt has been made to effect a junction of the Arabian Gulf and the Mediu:no nean—a junction which every one who has ever cast his eyes on the map of the world, must have seen to be pregnant with the highest and most indubitable advantages to England. " There is no doubt, that if the project were uses put in motion by-a few powerful individuals, subecriptions would pour rapidly in, both from Great Britain and India, so that there would be no want of funds, especially as there would be so undeniable and faira pros. pat of a princely remuneration for the capital expended : and. as to time, what time can be more propitious than the present, when we are at peace with all the world, and when Egypt is under the sway at a prince as liberal, if not as well-infmme as any of the mo narchs of civilised Europe ? " But even before this splendid scheme could be effected, a very great Improvement might be made in the carrying of letters, if not , to India; an improvement which is ea vast and so easy, that it ought to be made at once; especially as the invention MOM navigation would give such extraordinary facilities to it.— Might not a regular lineof packets be established to wry despatches Awn London, Portsmouth, or Falmouth, to Alexandria, or qaig, theses by land across the desert to some port on the Red Sea (if Mt so high as Sues itself, at least to Kosseir), where the Enterprise, or some other Indian steamer, might be in waiting with, on import, despatches from Bombay, to be forwarded the same way acmes the isthmus, and then each packet start on its return to its own port, so as thus to establish a constant and rapid communication between the two countries, so long wanted, and now so imperatively called fort" The collection of Asiatic intelligence, at the end ef the Numbs, is rich and well arranod ; and we particularly recommend to the notice of our readers, the account of the exertions made at Remo, by a near relative of his present Majesty, Col. Fits-Clarence, furthering the objects of the " Oriental Translation Society," which has been so much, to that gentleman's credit, his peculiar favorite.
