Have the conquerors any thing to fear from France? Ammer, Too w h o see what the ministry can effect which has been forced upon her! If this Ministry had any fume,—lf it bad the least feeling to what is due to the dignity of the kingdom, would net its first efforts be di rected against the Dell d'Algiers?—As to Austria. the late events have entirely changed the policy which the face of Russia might have dictated is her three months ago. The affair of Paravadi— the triumphant march of Gen. Diebitscis--his entry into Constant'. nook —all have rendered Austria an aitailiary of Nicholas. The Prince Metternich, incapable of opposing singly the aggrandisement Of his neighbour. can have now but one object,—that is. to acquire as large a portion as possible of the territories that the expulsion of the Sultan leaves at the disposal of the first occupant. Austria. it would be acknowledged, is become, by the fact itself, the auxiliary of the Russians. These two Powers cannot now quarrel but about the dividon of the spoil. This is a singular consequence of the progress of the Russians—one was long from expecting h. xxxsoors PROM TM Gan= Di PLANCI, ♦nanvr 24. Notwithstanding all the formal contradictions given to that fable of a Treaty, by which it was asserted that France was engaged to send a body of troop to Turkey, whilst Austria promised to send an equal body of troops upon our froatlen,—behold!

We have spoken at the disavowal of the Dey of the act of Arius from span of ids batteries on a French ship bearing a 114; .of truce. Theism-is as we stated. The Dey has declared that the Aging had taken place without his orders ; that merely signifies that he is not obeyed ; and that this despot. de. livered up to dreaminess, has no held on the respect of his subjects. This treacherous attack deserves punishment; and ft will no doubt meet with ft without delay. It is well to observe that the insults of such a man, and of the barbarians subject to him, are directed against civilized Europe in general, more than against France in particular; and when we shall have treated these pirates as they merit, we shall have avenged the cause of nations in general, as well as our own. It was said yesterday on 'Change that Admiral Maimini, after having maimed all the naval force the English have in the Medi terranean, has gene up the Dardanelles with the consent of the Sultan. M. de Chatembiiind, who vras to have gone to Ms embassy at Rome, after having been at the baths of &liege. arrived in Paris last night. The Vicomte de Mattison left Paris yesterday for the South of France. From the Journal du Commerce. The fund. experienced a rise to-day (Saturday), which some of the speculators have endeavoored to explain by an arrangement between the Turks and Russians, by which the Sultan would have AO pay a large indemnity ; and would leave in the hands of the Russians, as guarantee of the payment, the places now wwwpled by the weep et Russia. Unlikely as this report is, we give it, as At has been very generally circulated. The Dastephere, a paper of Marseilles, publishes the following detail! relative to the affair of Algiers, on the authority of a letter written on board the Provence. Our Commanding °dicer, M. Labetooniere, could not induce the Day to accept the conditions offered him, and which were such as might have tempted the cupidity of the Barbaelans, since we bad on board several millions of francs, which were for him. The bearers of the two tags of truce were on the point of falling victims to the fury of t h e populace, and it was with great diflicaky that they got on board. The Provence was obliged to cut its cables, is order to get under weigh with greater promptitude. The Art of the land batteries upon this vessel was terrible; and had it not boo for a sum brims which carried her through the water, at the rate of eight knots, she would have sunk in a very short time.—Another letter gives the same particalars, and adds, that the Provence left her anchor ; but that no one on board was wounded, and that was owing to the order given by the Captain to the crew to Me down on their bellies. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE FROM LISBON. Lisbon, Sth Apptst. M. Joseph Lopes da Cunha. attached to the kgatioa of Don Miguel at London, arrived yesterday. with dispatches for the Viscount of Santarem, Minister of Foreign Affairs. It appears tliat the great activity which reigns In the diplomatic communica does between London and Lisbon relate to the dificoldes that op pose' themselves to the departure of the young Queen for the Brasils—which Doa Miguel is said to consider as decisive of the firm establishment of his Government, sad to which, in conse quence, be attaches great importance.--Jessnset des Debate.

It was generally thought that General SANTA ANA, with his troops, would have joined the Spanish expedi tion op their landing ; but we have received, from the North and South American Coffee-house, an abstract of an important Manifesto from General SANTA ANA, re ceived in a Mexican Paper to the 18th June, addressed to the States, which breathes a strong spirit for liberty, and the duration of the Constitution. He, in an ani mated style, exhorts the Mexicans to seek perfect tran quillity,—to encourage industry, and the arts ;—and to educate their children as a safeguard to their liberties. The publication of the General completely vindicates his reputation from suspicion, which had been hinted at. Hobart Town Papers to the sth April, Bermuda Gazettes to the sth July, and Port-au-Prince Papers to the 15th June, have also been received at the above Coffee-house. The Hobart Town Papers contain information from Sydney, of the 18th March, stating that the affairs of the - sister colony are in a worse state than ever; this is the natural consequence of overtrading. Nothing has been done in respect of the formation of Council. It was supposed that General DARLING had received blank warrants ; but that he did not mean to act upon them.

The Herald left Cronstadt on the 7th inst., and just before she sailed the Emperor and Rapeeass,, sea companied by the English. French, and Austrian Am bawdors, and several persons of distinction belonging to the Court, vested the Russian lest under Admiral Seniavin's command, at anchor in Cronstadt Roads, consisting of a three-decked skip, seven large two-deckers, with numerous frigates, corvettes, Imperial yachts, and state barges. Had the weather proved more propitious, this review would have been highly beautiful, the ships being decorated with Sags, their yards fully manned, and, as well the many forts around, firing repeated salutes. Their Majesties, we understand, had proposed going on board the Herald, but were prevented by the unfavoenble weather, and very affably expressed regret to Captain Maxwell en the occasion. His Majesty's ship the Glob. caster, 74, Commodore H. Stuart, sailed from hence this after noon, for the Mediterranean. CAPTAIN DICKENSON.—Among the charges to be brought spinal Capt.

A letter from that place says, " As the Marquis and Marchioness of LONDON were driving in a curricle two high-spirited horses, yesterday, down a hill, close to Wynyard-park, the pole of the carriage broke, aisd the curette fell, when the horses, feeling the splinter-bars on their bind legs, began to lash out most furiously against the splash-board of the carriage, which, by the velocity of going down hill, premed on their • hind quarters. The carriage was dragged -some distance in this way. The Marquis, by singular good fortune, guided and pulled the near horse near a ditch, when he tell on his side, under the •carriage, and broke his bind leg. TLe off horse became so entangled that he also fell while kicking out. Lady Lostoo , evincing even more presence of mind than her Lord, sat up can the seat of the curriele, squeezed into the corner during the frightful kicking of the horses, and when she saw the near horse fall, she scrambled out into the ditch, which was most dilkult and most unaccountable, as the bead of the currick was up in a severe rain storm. When saved from absolute peril, she rushed back to aid her husband, who, seeing her Ladyship safe. sprung out on the other side. The Noble Pair have only suffered by several severe bruises at present. Dr. Ateoce, of this town, was sent for by express to bleed her Ladyship, whose situation rendered the accident peculiarly alarming. Her Ladyship, when our account left Wynyard, it is hoped, would not permanently suffer. The fine horse was shot on the spot. What made this frightful accident more singular was, that on their arrival at Wynyard the preceding day, the noblepair met the funeral of Mr. Mercian., who was killed a few days ago by the shaft of his gig breaking, and his being thrown under his horse s feet." KIRG'S 'COLLEGE:.--;Yesterday the Building Com mittee for the erection of King's College, Somerset house, met, accompanied by their architect, Mr. Smirk., to receive tenders for building the College.

General STEWART, Governor of St. Lucia, has sent home, for the Museum of the Literary and Antiquarian Society of Perth, a very singular and beautiful specimen of coral, of a very rare kind. In the letter to the Secretary which iceolopaided and which overflows with kind remembrances of his native essay, the General mentions that be bad a number of other qieciinens of plants and animals toady to transmit, but tbat an accident persamed their being met by the same vessel.

STATE OF TRADE. In the manufacturing districts trade is languishing—wages are low—employment scarce—and the labouring classes in straits.— If we come higher up. we find the merchants. manufacturers, and capitalists, also complaining fur the want nt trade, and a general dullness in most branches of industry. To whit, it may be asked, are we to refer all this distress? We apprehend that we may be at no loss to trace all the distressing effects which we see to very plain and intelligible causes, laid deep in the very eun•titution of human society. First, with respect to the labouring classes, it is only in • community where there is plenty of subsistence that their condition can be prosperous. It is 411 Invariable law of human society, that mankind tend to increase faster than food can be provided for them. This fact is proved by the rapid keenest of all new colonies where there is plenty of sub sincere ; which rapid increase would as well take place in other communities, were it not that food could nut, in long-established and cultivated countries, he found fur such a continual influx of new mouths. There is. indeed, no other reason why the population of Britain should not be doubled in twenty years. as well as that of the back settlements of America. except that in the one country subsistence can be increased, and in the other it cannot he in creased. But when population increases in old countries, ill presses against the limits of its subsistence, then there us less food for the people in the aggregate, and a smaller share for each 'MU. vidual ; and to this smaller share he is restricted by low wages and want of employment—which is just the case at present in this country, and still more se in Ireland, from which crowds of starv ing people daily overflow into this country, glad to work for almost nothing; and thus bring down wages toa still lower level, and add to the miseries of the people. Thus far with regard to the labour ing classes, the most numerous and important class of the community. With regard to merchants and capitalists. they again are dis tressed by an overflow of capital in the country. which reduces the rate of profit and the interest of mosey. They are also dis tressed. because, owing to the prodigious power which we possess over machinery. we melanin:titre more than we consume.— This overloads the markets, and naturally causes a decline of price frequently ruinous. In order clearly to account for the fall in the rate of profit and in the interest of money subsequent to the war, it will be necessary to explain that capital, what is really given by the lender to the borrower. though money is the medium in which it is conveyed, consists in finished work. in goods fit for use, and laid up in t►e stock reserved for immediate con sumption. All the finished work, or manufactured goods, the produce of labour, are eventually consumed ; but when they are in great plenty—when the stock reserved and set apart fur im mediate consumption is large—when it bears a great properness to what is consumed—then k will happen, that articles after they are manufactured may lie long in the national stock, before they are taken out fur consumption. But in this case they must lie on band either with the manufacturer, the wholesale merchant, ur the retail dealer; and this is just what wakes a dull trade, when articles lie long in the warehouses of the merchants; when the produce of la bour,overflowing in all the channels of trade, makes a tedious pro greu from t►e manufacturer to the consumer. All classes in this case and their hands encumbered with goods. They canon get them easily &pond of ; and in the increasing keenness of compd.. don which this occasions, they vie with each other in lowering their prices. and thus the rate of refit is reduced, owing to the increasing plenty of goods and the dullness of sake. The quantity of goods in the national stock has increased so much in proportion to the quantity consumed, that a long interval elapses between the production and the consumption of any article. The rate of interest falls, of course, with the rate of profit. The lending of money is the leading, not of the paper or the gold in which the transaction is settled, but the lending of goods. When a merchant borrows five hundred or a thousand pounds, it is not for the purpose of lying idle in kis cans ; he buys goods with it ; and this accommodation consists, therefore, in the loan of goods, not of money ; and as the quantity of goods increases in the country—as production gains upon the consumption— these goods entice, as we have before shown, be sold lot so great a profit as before ; and the same cousideration cannot. there fore, be snowed for the loan of them. But a fall in the rate of is - terest arising, if it arises from the accumulation of stock, is no indication of consnsercial distress; nor ill it prejudicial to the coot - try generally; it is only prejudicial to the leaden; of money, and what the lender loses the borrower pins. But a fall in the rate of profit or interest may arks, not so much from any increased produce of goods es from a falling off in the consump duo, owing to poverty, general distress, and want of work among the great bony of the people—and at present we are inclined to trace t h e fall in the interest of nioney to this cause. It is, therefore, intimately connected with the animal distress, and is, indeed, caused by it. We have no room at present for further remarks, nor to say any thing on she state of agricul ture ; but we shall resume the subject in a future Paper, when we shall give this important branch of industry its due consideration— and shall also consider briefly the state of the country during the war, and the cause of the extraordinary prosperity which then pre vailed; and which we shall endeavour to show was not occasioned by the war, but in spite of the war.—. deans amuck.
