KING has had a restless night ; but, in other t -it et,. his MAJ EST Y continues much the same as N 44 t t rtlay." (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." b the French mail despatches were this day received :,t the Foreign Office from Lord STUART DE ROTII SA Y, ()Di Ambassador at Paris; and from Sir CHARLES 0 I. our Ambassador at the Hague. An express from Paris, this morning, brings us news, received there by the Minister of Marine, that the French expedition had appeared off Algiers, in the best possible condition. A day—perhaps half a day—may not trans pire, before we have the tidings of a fierce conflict; for, no doubt, the French will attempt the !ending on the African coast, before the boisterous weather comes on, which is generally experienced about this season along the shores of the Mediterranean. Letters from Lisbon, received this morning by way of, Fiance, convey the usual intelligence that numerous ar rests continue to take place in the provinces ; and that :ill the victims to political persecution were secretly con• seyed, for disposal, to the capital. Commerce remained in the same state of stagnation as when the former ac counts came away; and the treasury of Don bite tytt. is stated to be at the very lowest ebb. Accounts from Leipsic, by express, state that at the fair, there had been an increased demand for English goods. Accounts from Constantinople state that some dif ference had taken place between the French Ambassador, Count GUILLEMINOT, and the Rue EFFENDI, having reference to the expedition against Africa ; and that the RLIS EFFENDI had expressed, in no very unequivocal language, his doubt of the integrity of the intention of the French Government. It is added that Count GUILLEMINOT was expected to leave Constantinople shortly on a special mission. Rumour pointed this to Egypt. The disturbances in Anatolia have assumed a serious form, and the agents of the Turkish government appointed to collect the imports have been openly resisted, and some lives lost. The disaffection in Asia- Minor had, however, been put down, and the caravans to Persia, by way of Erzeroum, have resumed their usual route. As the internal affairs of France are approaching a crisis which it is probable may involve not only the peace of that important member of the European society, but the tranquillity of other nations, the eyes of every politician in Europe are intent in their observation, to discover cir cumstances predictive of the result. We find, therefore, the Paris Papers replete with reasoning on the contin gencies of the approaching election—and the still more fearful contingencies, which are said to depend on this, which some suppose a battle of Actium, be tw•een the Royalist and Liberal parties. That the most numerous and most influential portions of the French nation are adverse to the present French Administration, must, we think, be admitted by any person who has lately visited France ; or viewed coolly the information daily arriving from that volcanic coun try ; and that the success of •that party, would probably set forth hidden fires which the events of the last few years have kept smothered, but which, if again put in action, would, as before, disturb the peace of other States, is, we think, likewise an apprehension seriously toabe entertained. Attached, as we are, to the leading principles of the liberal party, we regret the conflict which is approaching—the more particularly that, from viewing the results, we cannot join heartily in wishing that party success. We think there has been a lamentable want of temper, and want of true wisdom in the proceedings of both parties ; and nothing, perhaps, can more clearly illustrate the difference of character between the French and English nations, than what has lately occurred in both the countries, under almost parallel circumstances.— We—the English—had an administration appointed for us, which, as we had occasion to remark yesterday, was not popular ; but we, with characteristic good sense, have waited in quiet till events have proved our first impressions were in a great degree unfounded. The French liberal party, on the contrary, from the names of ' certain obnoxious individuals being included in the Ad ministration—from its being avowedly fonned from the Royalist party, and from a general suspicion that the head of the Administration had some intimate alliance with our Government, became at once determined to ob struct, in [inane, all its proceedings—or rather its intentions—or what might be supposed its in tentions ; for the most irrational part of the con duct justly attributable to the anti-ministerial party in France, and which constitutes, we believe, the majority of that nation, is, that it did not allow the opportunity, even for the administration, to de-1 velope what its plans were, far less afford it the opportunity of proving them to be, as they might have been, innoxious and beneficial to French interests, both foreign and domestic. Such has been the unreasonable conduct of the French anti-ministerial party—and it certainly has only been equalled in the want of N isdow displayed by the Minis- terial or Royalist party. Sagacious policy would have dictated what the world might have hoped, the hard schooling of experience could not have failed by this time to have indelibly impressed on its intellect, that it could not securely or honestly govern France, without relin quishing some of the antiquated maxims which had formerly been the guide of its conduct, and which had produced the overthrow of its own influence. Sagacious policy should have dictated to walk a little with the times ;—and if not inclined to yield much to the popular party, at least to have yielded so much as to give rise to an expectation that they intended—when opportunity afforded—to yield more; but the conduct of the Administration, as far as it has been developed, cer tainly rather confirms than obviates any existing preju dice ; for e►en in the unimportant subject of education— we mean unimportant, in as far as it does not concern the immediate security of Government—every thing has been done to thwart the views of the liberal party. In various little ordinations of no real importance, there ap pears to have been a spirit actuating the rulers of France, which one might suppose almost intentionally vexatious —certainly displaying no inclination towards conciliating the esteem or even quiescence of the people—insomuch so, that the considerate observer cannot almost fail to shrug up his shoulders with contemptuous pity, and apply to them the often quoted, maxim—Quam Deus volt perdere pries dementat. Unfortunately, however, as we have already remarked, the other nations of Europe cannot view the expected conflict between the parties in France, as mero uncon cerned spectators ; for there is every chance, should the present Administration lose its power, that the foreign policy of France will undergo a great change—a change, in all probability, which might involve this coun try in a war, the termination or the consequences of which it is not easy to predict; and from which, wo believe, this nation has been prevented hitherto, by the union of views between its government and that of France. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols which left off yesterday at 92t 1 , for the ac count, opened this morning at 921 and at present they are 921, with little doing as yet. We understand that Prince Esterhazy is to leave Lon don, and is going to meet Prince Metternich on the con tinent. Baron Newman will transact the affairs until his return. The cause of the Prince's departure is not ascertained, but no doubt it is on some political affairs. Our arrivals this morning are of minor importance, there being very few. In the Foreign Market Spanish bonds have receded, and are about per cent. lower than yesterday. In other foreign securities little or nothing doing as yet. We have an arrival from the East, but of an old date. An English sloop-of-war went to Oran to take the English Consul on board, but was refused permission ; in consequence of which, it is said, that the English squa dron has gone to Algiers to enforce the demand. The latest accounts from Hayti state, that the treaty between that country and France had been signed, but not ratified, by the President, owing to some objections which he discovered in the clause relating to the payment of the indemnity. _ _ According to accounts from Paris, troops are marching from various directions to form the army of reserve in Africa. The 7th Regiment of Light Infantry has pro ceeded by steam, and arrived at Bordeaux on the 2d June. Prince Metternich was expected at Frankfort on the 2d instant. Letters from Lisbon, of the 22d ult. state that new ar restations have taken place in various provinces : the persons arrested have been sent to the capital.—A Por tuguese, on presenting a letter to the Princess Isabella Maria, at the Palace of Queluz, from the emigrants on the frontiers of Spain, was seized by the Police.—Mr. Makenzie, the English Consul, has fallen into disgrace with Don Miguel, and his minister, Count Santarem, has demanded his recall. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. Consols which were in the early part of the morning 924 for the Account, receded to 92A, owing to reports relating to his Majesty; but at present they have re sumed their former price 924 I.

SINGULAR RECOVERY OF SPEECH.—We announced a few days since that M. M—, Comptroller of the Mint, had shot himself. This dreadful act was com mitted in the presence of his wife, who had been for se veral years dumb, and deprived of the use of her limbs, by a severe paralysis ; the shock she received from viewing this horrible scene, instantly restored not only her power of speech, but all her other faculties.—Paris Advertiser. COURT INTILLIGENCE. Inn Kiwo.--His Majesty received visits yesterday from their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Cumberland, who arrived at the Palace soon after twelve o'clock, within a few minutes of each other—the former from Bushy Park and the latter from Kew. The Duke of Wellington arrived about the same time as the Royal Dukes, from London. His Grace had an audience of the King. - The Duke of Wellington left a little after three o'clock, on his return to town. At half-past four o'clock the Duke of Clarence took his leave, and returned to his residence in Bushy Park. Both the Physicians remained in attendance yesterday on the King.—At the King's Palace, St. James's, Lord Clinton (Lord) and Sir Wil liam Houston (Groom) were in waiting. Prince Frederick of Prussia honoured the Austrian Ambassador with his company to dinner yesterday even ing, at Chandos-house. The Prussian Minister, the new Russian Minister, and a select party, were present, to meet his Royal Highness. The Duke of Sussex visited the Princess Augusta yes terday. A Conference was held yesterday at the Treasury, re specting the culture of tobacco in Ireland ; there were present Lord F. L. Gower, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Mr. Frankland Lewis, Ind Sir H. Parnell. A very numerous deputation of master manufacturers, headed by Mr. Littleton, the member for the county of Stafford, had a very long interview with Mr. Herries yes terday, at the Office of the Board of Trade. Sir Edward Knatchbull, and a deputation of the agri culturists of Kent, had a conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the Treasury. The Duke of Wellington, after returning to town last evening from attending his Majesty, joined the whole of the Cabinet Ministers, who were assembled at the resi dence of Lord Ellenborough, in Grosvenor-place, his Lordship giving a Cabinet dinner to his colleagues. The name of Francis Mundy, Esq. M.P. for Derby shire, was by mistake inserted in the majority of 118, who voted against Sir James Graham, on Monday night —Mr. Mundy was not in the house during the debate. LEWES.—The preparations for a general election are going on here with activity. The friends of Sir John Shelley met at the Royal Oak on Friday. At the Public Temple, Mr. Donovan's friends are preparing to assemble, and two hundred tickets have been issued. We are happy to learn that Lord Viscount Torrington, after a most painful and dangerous illness of ten weeks, was enabled to quit his chamber on Wednesday last, and is gradually becoming convalescent. So confidently were the reports afloat on Monday of hia Majesty'a dissolution believed, that an upholsterer in Whitcomb -street, Haymarket, actually closed his shop. The M.P. who canvassed his constituents a few weeks since denies that he did so " in contemplation of a demise of the crown." Then what was his reason? An elegant monument has just been erected in the ' Temple Church, to the memory of the late John Reeves, Esq. who was ono of the Benchers of that Society. Monday the Rev. Augustus James Tharp, A.B. was licensed to the Perpetual Curacy of Denston. Suffolk, on the nomination of Wm. Pigott, Esq. of Denston Hall. The present is the third attempt which has been made to establish a betting-room in St. James's -street, the two previous ones having failed. There is at Belvoir Castle a chair elegantly carved, the wood of which was brought from the plains of Waterloo. The following is the inscription at the back:—" This chair is formed out of a tree which in fame must be con sidered as surpassing every tree of the forest, being that which stood behind the farm of La Haye Sainte, close to which the Doke of Wellington frequently took his station during the battle of Waterloo. The tree was purchased by George Childers, Esq. who kindly gave the Duke and' Duchess of Rutland sufficient wood from it to form this chair." A serious accident had like to have taken place to the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, on leaving St. Mary's Chapel, Hastings, Sunday afternoon last. As the car riage was coming down the hill in Pelham-crescent, one of the horses fell, and plunged in a most violent manner. The Princess was speedily removed from the carriage, and was driven to Bohemia in a fly. Her Royal High ness is greatly improved in health since her residence in the neighbourhood of Brighton. It is not true that the Bishop of Lincoln is appointed tutor to the Princess Victoria. The report may have originated in the fact of Dr. Kaye being about to resign the Mastership of Christ's College, the object for which he has retained that situation of late years being now secured,—namely, the election of the Rev. Graham, Senior Fellow of Christ's College, as his Lordship's successor. VISITORS AT THE COLOSSEUM.—Princess Ester- 1 hazy ; Princess Lieven ; Duke of Gloucester ; Duke of i Devonshire ; Duchess of Roxborough ; Marchioness Chandos ; Dowager Marchioness Northampton ; Countess of Wilton ; Lords Radatock, Cassilis, Templeton, Teign mouth, Galloway, Clifford, Mark Kerr, Geo.

BIRTH OF GRORGE IV.—ln the present melan icholy state of the King's health, it may be curious to peruse the Court account of his birth. That account is as follows :—" On the 12th of August, 1762, at seven o'clock in the evening, her Majesty (Queen Charlotte) was safely delivered of a Prince in St. James's Palace. Her Majesty felt indisposed about two o'clock in the afternoon, when an express was sent to the Princess Dowager (Mother of George III.) who arrived at the Palace at four. Orders were sent to the Great Officers of State, who immediately attended. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland, the Lords Hardwicke, Hunti on, Talbot, Halifax, Bute, and Marsham, and all the . des of the Bed-chamber and the Maids of Honour, were pre sent. Her Majesty's midwife was Mrs. Draper ; but Doctor Hunter remained in waiting, lest the ser vices of his medical skill should be wanting. The person who communicated the joyful news to the King of the birth of an heir-apparent, and of her Majesty's safety, received a present of 5001. Imme diately on the announcement of this event, whilst the can non* were firing in the Park, a long train of waggons, guarded by grenadiers, was passing down St. James's street, containing the treasures of the Hermione frigate, one of the richest captures recorded in the history of the British Navy. His Majesty and the nobility were invited to the windows over the gateway of the Palace to view the procession, and joined in the acclamations of the people. For the gratification of the public, it was announced, be fore the young Prince was twelve days old, that his Royal Highness would be seen at St. James's from one until three o'clock on the drawing-room days. It is remarkable that the birth of the Prince of Wales should have happened, reckoning by the old style, exactly 45 years from the accession of the present Royal Family." PROVINCIAL NEWS.

Imam Tonacco.—According to a return made to Parliament it appears that there arc now in Ireland 461 acres and 32 perches i:. cultivation for the produce of tobacco. In the county Tipperar) there are but six acres and four roods; in Drogheda four acres; it Dublin three acres, on the lands of 141illagan ; in Kilkenny eigh t acres and five perches ; in Kildare five acres and nine perches ; Sligo three acres and four perches ; in Waterford eighteen acres and two perches. The remainder is all gown in the county Wexford. In every county the tobacco has been in cultivation but fin one year, except Wexford, where it hu been tried in small quantities hint: 1823.—Dosidia Morning Register. A discovery of a Danish mill was lately made by some labourers clearing out an old water-course on the lands of Killoghteen, one mile to the west of Newcastle, in Limerick ; also, a screw-press, with vats and coolers, a quantity of heath, in a raw state, some put• verifed, with several cakes like rape cake, by which it appears it was by Infusion and pressure beer was made from heath by the Dates. The timber part was of the best Irish oak, in the highest preserva. Lion, and, it is to be regretted, was taken away by the neighbouring farmers to make several articles of furniture.

ROAD NETT/ZEN LONDON AND Estrran cosi—A meeting of the aggregate committee of the counties and burghs of Scotland. for promoting the improvement of the mad between London ansi Edinburgh, was held in Edinburgh on Tuesday last, when it we.. resolved to transmit a petition to both houses ef parlianiciit, expres. sive of the opinion of the committee, that the bill recently intro. duced into parliament on this subject is calculated to promote the objects entrusted to the petitioners, and praying that it may pus into a law.

Two young men, brothers, of the ages of seventeen and twos ) sons of Mr. J. Grant, cabinet maker, Culeer.sereet, Bristol, were drowned early on Sunday morning last, while bathing in the Float, near the Glass House, on the sea banks. The following particulars of this melancholy event, as detailed by an eye.witneu, were giver. in evidence on the inquest, which was held yesterday ancrnoen. b.. fore J. Langley, Esq. The deceased had agreed to walk out, the fatal morning, with a young man named Hawkins, and they au- cordingly called him up about half past five o'clock. They pro posed bathing, but he endeavoured to persuade them aping it. the water was too cold, and that it would be much better to walk the Hot wells. The deceased, however. persisted in entering the water. while Hawkins remained on the bank by their clothes. The bed of at river is very steep near :he Glass House, and they had not been in oy: water long before Henry's toot slipped, and he fell forward into deer water; Joseph, the elder brother, immediately went to his assist. saws, and succeeded in drawing him partially towards the back. but, unfortunately missing his hold, Henry again fell beyord his depth, and Joseph, in striving to extricate him a second time. became involved in his fate. Their companion, Hawkins, coo'.: render them no assistance, there being no boat or any person sigh. Indeed, at first, he was not conscious of their danger. but on coming convinced of it, he ran up the bank, gave an aLnu, recd when several persons had collected, went home and acquainted the:. unhappy father. Soon after his return to the spot, grappling-note were procured from Prince's.atreet bridge, by one of the wen wt. ply on the river, and the bodies were dragged out : a surfer: was immediately sent for, but on his arrival he declared life to to totally extinct. The bodies were in the water nether more dig half an hour; Joseph was picked up first, and Henry about ten mi. notes after. The father, f the unfortunate youths, immediately a being informed of the accident, repaired to the bank of the TiVO. He bad not long been absent when a wretch, for we an call him bc no other name, called on Mrs. Grant, and said he had been sent I” her husband for a sheet, and also for 3s. alleging that the money w.i to be given to the boatmen as a reward for their exertions in search' ing for the bodies. His request was complied with ; but on rout ing the threshold of the door, he Bung down the sheet, ran off with the 3s. and has not since been beard of.—Bristol Mercury. Friday last, the body of Mr. Richard Spearing was discovered on the beach at New Way Point, in the parish or Piddinghoe, two labourers, by whew it was removed, with assistance , to it e poor-house, where an inquest was held on the remains on Saturday, ' and a verdict of " A.W.dootally Drowned" returned.

These, it must be observed, were all marked. and assisted in identifying the body, for the discovery of which a reward of five guineas had been offered, and has been claimed. It is, however, gooney suspected that the body, when found. had other Mils of dress on. It is known that at the time of tilt h lamentable accident the deceased bad money and a valuable wate with him, and the body appears free from bruises.
