" The KING'S rest has again been broken by the cough and expectoration, and his MAJESTY feels languid this morning. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Despatches were this day received from their Excel cellencies Lord STUART DR ROT II SA Y , our Ambassador at Paris; and Sir Cu A RLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at the Hague. At length we have accounts of the landing of the French expedition on the Algerine coast. We reprint from the Herald of this morning, the only particulars of this event which have yet transpired. It would appear that little opposition bad been offered by the forces of the Dir ; but it does not follow that he is unprepared to give the French a warm reception. We look hourly for the particulars of a desperate conflict. We find by a series of the Trinidad Guardian to the 2d of May, received this day, that a proclamation had been issued by the Governor, LEWIS GRANT, establish ing several Savings Banks for the slaves in that Island. —The celebration of his MAJESTY'S birth-day, at Port of Spain, had been conducted with great splendour. Canada Papers to the 14th May have been received this morning. The only article of intelligence they con tain is an announcement that the Government brig Chebucto was about to proceed to Bermuda from Ha lifax, to receive on board his Excellency Sir Pit REGAIN E MA tT LAN D, who was about to resume the government of Nova Scotia ; and it was hoped his arrival in that pro vince would put an end to the differences which, unfortu nately, were prevailing in that colony, between the Legis lative Council and the House of Assembly. There are arrivals this morning from Calcutta to the 4th February ; but the greater part of the news had been anticipated by the advices we published last week. The only interesting additional article we find is in one paper, which announces the receipt of a letter from England, stating that the intention which existed in the Direction, of pensioning the civil servants of the fourth presidency, on the abolition of its Government, had been abandoned ; and that it was now determined to continue tl.eni employed on the reduced allowances, until time may bring them down to the number that may be es sential. The London and provincial journals are now teeming with paragraphs regarding what they term " the ap proaching general election,"—and although no changes are likely to take place previous to that event, as to the constitution of Parliament, or mode of effecting those elections, it is a time when the public mind naturally turns to that great subject. In the selection of our fu ture representatives, the opinions of the candidates on this point, have always been looked to as the test which was to determine, how far they could ex pect the support of one party of the electing com mons of Britain, or how far the support of another. That the cause of reform in Parliament, has with other reforms, gained ground very materially since the peace, cannot be doubted. The horrors of revolutionary anarchy, which had appeared with all its terrrors, were quite adequate to intimidate into silence, even those who were the most ardent and virtuous advocates of reform; but the quiet of a long peace has dispelled all that por tion of terror which was irrational ; thousands who were active in the turmoil—•thousands who were terrified, as well as those who produced the terror—are no longer ca pable of emotion on the subject; while a race possessing the experience of the past, and who have had time and opportunity to examine, with correct vision and unim passioned intellect, the scenes which had horrified their parents, have risen into an activity which demands atten tion. At the same time that a change has thus been produced in the heads and hearts of the people of this country, a change not less influen tial has been taking place on their pockets. Those who were rich, or thought themselves so, have found, by the legerdemain of the financier, that their wealth had down ; and those who were poor, instead of finding it as might have been the cast•, under their hat, or in their pockets, find, on the contrary, that they have neither a hat nor a pocket. A state therefore of popular discontent ensues—and whether correct or not, the whole cause of discontent is attributed to the Government. We believe, therefore, that the approaching election will ra ther add to the popular party in the House, and that the cause of Parliamentary Reform will become, in a certain degree, successful. If we are asked what species of Parliamentary Reform we are inclined to advocate, without any intentional am biguity, we should say we mean to advocate reform. If required to be more definite, we should say any re form, which in the smallest degree eNtends the elective franchise, so as to include any portion of the property and intelligence of the British nation, at present unre presented, because not possessing a voice in the election of their representatives. It is quite unnecessary we hope, after this declaration, to say, that we consider the present system replete with absurdities in every part, and in every direction. Instead of being the result of the wisdom of ages, it is the result, as every reader of His tory knows ; of casual contests, in which the corruptions, the ignorance, and the worst vices of the human charac ter, were the predominating principles. While we declare our sentiments to be thus favourable to reform, candour requires of us to state, that we con ceive those who advocate that extreme of reform, of which what is termed Universal Suffrage and Annnal Parliaments form the distinguishing tenets, are advo cating that for which the present age, with all its march of intellect, is not yet prepared. They advocate what probably will take place at some future period, and what probably at that period should take place ; but every sober reasoner must we think agree, the effect of such a change in the present state of intelligence and constitu tion of British society, would have the violence to destroy all the security and necessary power of the executive, which should be paramount, however it be established, or from whatever source it be originally derived. As sincere friends to a reform in Parliament, wo regret that any of those who have influence with the public, should dissipate the real strength which could bo practi cally brought forward, and would be irrisistible in gain ing many important points towards the desired object.— Every nibble of the mouse, we deem valuable, because it tends to enfranchise the lion; but those who assume to set him loose at once, with a sledge hammer, will only terrify the spectators to withhold his hand from the rash operation.—Could we suppose that our humble voice would have any weight, we would entreat of those who, we believe conscientiously, lead the party of reformers to which we allude, not to lose what is practical in pursuing what they cannot accom plish. We possess many great and enlightened advo cates of reform among our Aristocracy—and then, next to our Aristocracy, among our ancient Gentry ; let us not, then, deprive ourselves of their support; for after all that is occasionally advanced, and perhaps with reason , against their adventitious claims to influence, we believe that intrinsically, at the present moment, they have no more influence in British society than is advantageous to the interests of the people ; for we are no admirers of the liberality of feeling generally found to predominate among what is termed in France, the nouveaux riches.— What we are writing may expose us to the disap probation of our readers ; but we must not be mis understood. Real intelligence and real virtue will produce a real noble from any rank ; but perhaps we may be excused for partaking, in some degree, at the present moment, in the prejudices of Sir Archy liPSy cophant against an aristocracy of " dealers in stock, rum puncheons, and lottery tickets." CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off on Saturday, 92i for the Account, with little or nothing doing at present : the unfavourable state of his Majesty impedes operations to any great extent. It appears that, although the favourable result of the French having landed their troops on the coast of Africa, the French rentes had gone down. In the Foreign Market, nothing doing as yet. vE It POOL, JuNE 19.—The indecision of the Chan cellor has, for some time, paralized the demand for seve ral articles, and this week it has extended to sugar. The import of cotton this week is 22,886 bags, and the sales reached 22,490 bags, including 1,000 American, at an advance of full ith of a penny per lb. on low and mid dling descriptions. The sales of B. P. sugar this week are 420 hhds. at former rates. In coffee, the operations aro, 300 casks with 420 bags. Port Au Prince Papers to the 26th April, Quebec to the 14th May, and Montreal to the 16th May, have been received at the New South American Coffee-house. The Port Au Prince Papers state that an English Corvette had arrived there from Jamaica, having on board the English Consul General for Hayti. The ne gociations entered into with France, in the month of April last, were again resumed on the 23d of March : the basis were commerce and the navigation between Hayti and the French Government. It was also thought proper to terminate the mode of payment for the debt contracted with France; but the French Commissioners were not authorized to sanction certain demands, for the accomplishment of the same ; therefore a Commissioner was sent to France to accomplish that desirable object. Letters from Madrid of the 7th inst. mention that M. Zambrano, Secrtary of State for the War Department, has given in his resignation, which the King refused to accept. Accounts from Brest mention that the Seine arrived there from Rio Janeiro, which place she left on the Bth of April. The Prince Imperial, a sixty-gun ship, was to leave Rio in the course of a month, to convey the Prince de Leuchtenberg to Brest. It was reported that a Com mission was going to Lisbon in order to resume the ne gociationa for the marriage of Donna Maria with Don M iguel . CITY, JIALF.PAST ONE. The Consul Market has continued during the morning without the least animation, and they may be quoted 92i buyers for the Account. Great anxiety is expressed for the appearance of the Bulletin of his Majesty's health. The Foreign Market is also void of the least interest. Greek is rather lower, owing to their coming lower one per cent. from Holland. In Shares nothing doing. South Metropolitan Gas 2* premium. r: I„t(.&ii e 6xt 4l? ''47 cAT S cfr.‘ COURT INTRLLIGRNCR. THE Kt wo.—The following bulletin of his MAJESTY'S health was issued yesterday : " Windsor Castle, June 20, 1830. " The Kiwo•s rest has been Intenupted by cough, with expecto. ration during the night. His MarzsTY complains less, however) this morning. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." The Duke of Wellington arrived at the Castle on Saturday a little before one, and remained about three hours, when his Grace left on his return to town. The bulletins were shown to the public as usual at St. James's Palace on Saturday by the Earl of Warwick (Lord in waiting), and the Hon. Forrester for Sir W. Houston (Groom); and yesterday by Lord Chesterfield (Lord in waiting) for Lord Roden, and Major Armstrong. WINDSOR, Sunday eveninj. . _ Although the tone of the Bulletins has not been quite so fa vourable these lut few days, there is not a material difference in the state of the King's health since my lut communication, and I can state positively that his Majesty is better at this time than he was in the morning. Mr. Brodie and Mr. Nusaey left the Castle this morning. and are expected to return at 9 o'clock to-night. The Bishop of Chichester performed divine service this morning to his Majesty's suite and household. There has not been any arrivals at the Castle this day. THE KING'S HEALTH. From the Windso► Express. Our present report on this painful topic ;ill happily be of a some. what less sombre cast than that of its predecessor; still we cannot congratulate our readers on the appearance of any symptoms of per. mancnt amendment. It is difficult to form a correct opinion of his Majesty's state from a mere perusal of the bulletins, which, although correct as far as they go, do not go near far enough to assist in the for. mation of a sound opinion as to the nature and progress of the King's indisposition. From an inspection of their meagrecontents of the last week, any non-medical reader would come to the conclusion that the King's disorder was assuming a milder character,aud that theßoyal pa. tient was rapidly progressing towards a state of convalescence. It is ex. tremely painful to us to state that the information on which we found our own judgment is by no means confirmatory of this gratifying view of the case. The truth is, that the sins which the physicians will have to account for are those of omission rather than of can. mission. It is true they have announced that his Majesty's respire. tion is less difficult, but then they have ommitted to announce wha t is equally true, and not less important, namely, that he takes little nourishment, anal that that little is not of a solid nature, and that his strength, instead of improving, gradually declines ; that a disa. greeable cough, accompanied by constant expectoration, has shown Itself within the lass few days; and that while the symptoms have been variously influenced by circumstances, the nature of the disease has remained unchanged. This is the plain undisguised state of the case. It will be perceived by to.days bulletin that the symp. toms are less favourable than they were yesterday, and we are sorry to add that his Majesty is rather worse this evening. His Ma. jesty's spirits are composed, and maintain their accustomed evenness The Princess Augusta left town yesterday on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cuu►berland, at their resi dence at Kew. Divine Service was performed yesterday in the King's Palace, at Kensington, before the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and their Royal Highnesses' House hold, by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess. The Princess Augusta attended Divine Service yester day morning in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, and the Ch In cellor of the Exchequer visited the Duke of Wellington on Saturday afternoon, on the return of his Grace from visiting his Majesty at Windsor. The Countess of Antrim entertained the Marquis of Hertford, the Duchess de Cannizzaro, the Marquiss and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Downshire, Lord and Lady Burghersh, Sir John and Lady Anne Becket, &c. to dinner on Saturday, at her residence in Cavendish-square. The Duke of Wellington entertained the Duke of Rutland and a select party to dinner yesterday evening, at Apsley House. Viscount Melville left town yesterday for Portsmouth. Lord Stuart de Rothsay, our Ambassador at the Court of France, is just arrived in London. Hughes Ball, Esq. who for a considerable period has been passing his time between Paris and Boulogne, is at present engaged in improving his old mansion, near Wal tham Abbey. The house and grounds at Oatlands still remain the property of Mr. Ball ; but several of the large farms adjoining the manor have been sold. Mrs. Hughes Ball, once the delightful Mercandotti, has taken a house in Queen-street, May-fair. In addition to Mr. Hume, the Marquis of Blandford is spoken of as likely to become a candidate for the county of Middlesex. Many Members of Parliament are already leaving town for the season. Should some of their constituents happen to ask them what they have done, they will be puzzled, we should think, to give an answer. Lord Porchester is about to be united to bliss Howard Molyneux, daughter of the late Lord Henry Howard, and niece to the Duke of Norfolk.—Evening Paper. The Duke of Somerset is said to have settled 2,0001. a year on Miss Sheridan, on her marrriage with his son. The Marquis of Cleveland has purchased the borough (and representation) of St. Ives, for 57,0001. Hyde Park, yesterday about four o'clock, was crowded with pedestrians and equestrians. The cavalcade in the drive we never saw greater. Among the most splendid equipages were those belonging to the Duchesses of Bed ford and St. Alban's ; Marchionesses of Bristol, Stafford, Londonderry ; Countesses of Jersey, Verulam, Aberdeen, Tankerville, C. Grantham ; Ladies Burghersh, Wil loughby, Cavendish, and Somerset ; Mistresses Baring, Littleton, Beaumont, and Herbert. PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCit. Extreme interest is excited in the city of Chichester. by the supposed approach of a general election. This topic has since engrossed much attention, and on no former occasion is it remembered that the city press has been so industriously employed, or thrown out so manv electioneering squibs as on the present. We shall nut advert to any of them particularly, nor comment on what might be supposed their respective merits or defects; some of them are indeed humourous, and expressed, in general terms; while others, though they may in some degree be entitled to the epithet of being witty, may be esteemed far from being wise : and some there are al. though possessing in part these qualifications, that yet descend to an unwarrantable personality, and egregious, and, perhaps, unprecedented lampoonery. Margate is just filling with its summer visitants, not withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather.— Among the arrivals at Howe's Royal Hotel, we have to notice—Lord Bagot, family, and suite ; Lord Germ ans . town, family, and suite ; Lord Neville, Sir John D ug . dale Astley and daughters, Sir Henry Vebb, Genera! Taylor and daughter, Sir Henry Hawley, the lion. Sir Francis Burton and son, Captain Edwards, Major Gar rett and famiiy from Brussels, Mrs. Webber Smith and daughter, T. Ramsden, Esq. &c. &c. Viscount Neville and several other of the above distinguished visitors, are still sojourning at the Hotel, and some have taken house. for the season. To celebrate the battle of Waterloo, of which Friday was the anniversary, a number of officers engaged on that memorable day dined at the George Inn, Ports mouth, where a sumptuous entertainment was provided. The Lieut.-Governor, Major-General Sir Colin Camp bell, repaired to London, to be present at the splendid banquet annually given by his Grace the Prime Minister. Posting is now advertised at Brighton at a shilling a mile, and Oxford at Is. 3d. Died, on the 10th inst. at Biddenham Ford-end, D. Fennel, aged 98; his widow, who is in her 100th year, followed his remains to the grave. This ancient couple had been united in the bands of wedlock 77 years. Mr. Chaworth Musters having relinquished the Not tinghamshire fox-hounds, he is succeeded by the very sporting, but now venerable, Lord Middleton, of Walla ton Park, near Nottingham. This Nobleman hunted Warwickshire at two distinct periods of his life—first as Mr. Willoughby, when his hounds were destroyed by poison, and afterwards for the space of nine seasons. having succeeded Mr. Corbet, of Shropshire. His Lord ship is now far advanced in life, but possesses all the ar dour of youth ; and having purchased upwards of 10' couples of hounds, and a good stable of hunters, anx iously looks forward to sport. His Lordship purchased the best hunter in Mr. Payne's stud, last week at Tat tersall's for his own riding, besides several others.— Doncaster Gazette. TILLEGRAPHS ON CORK HARBOUR.—On Wednes day a meeting of the Harbour Commissioners was held. at which it was decided to establish telegraphs and a code of signals for Cork harbour. The stations selected for this purpose are Blackrock castle, Alderman Parker's ground at Passage, and the light-house at the entrance to the harbour. The plan adopted by the commissioners is plain and simple, and withal ingenious, and will con vey information thirty miles in the space of five mi nutes ; so that as soon as a homeward bound or other vessel appears in view for leagues off the harbour, it will almost in a moment be known in the city. The signals are to be erected under the superintendence of the har bour master, and will commence on Saturday. The ex pense will amount to about 1501. per annum, which is to be defrayed by the harbour commissioners and the com mercial and shipping interests.—Cork Paper. APPROACHING ELECTIONS.(SuIIImary.)—G. H. Dawson, Esq. has again announced his intention of offer ing himself as a candidate for the county of Derry. Cap tain Jones, R. N. a son of the Rev.
