FRENCH PAPERS. From the Gazette de France. " EXPEDITION AGAINST ALGIERS. i.c news of the day is still the expedition against Algiers. tie preparations are forwarded with great activity, but with as ',inch atuntioll as possible to economy. So great a movement of troops renders necessary the purchase of a considerable stock of provisions. We will remain silent upon this point for the present, hoping that this time better measures will be taken than in 1823. -• 31. tie Bourmont has been spoken of as the commander-in . ',lei; in this hypollscse, the portfolio of war will be confided to 11. de t 'hampagny. Probably the final decision will not be long delayed.. .hould not the indisposition of M. de Polignac oblige him 't. retrain for a few days from taking a part in public affairs. M. tic Boaritont wishes to conquer the surname of Africanus, and the President of the Council does not appear to see with regret his moval to a distance just at the moment of the meeting of the ilamterr. Rochefort will also furnish its share in the expedition—at least enters have been received there to expedite the building and launching of the corvette la Thisbe, and the brig d'Asaas, whose fitting out ought to be finished about the end of April. The superb steam boat Le Sphinx, commanded by Lieut. Sarlat, also will take part in the expedition. It is impossible to employ too many vessels of this kind, particularly when contrary winds often make the want of them tclt. Le Sphinx, which has just left the dock.yard, is of the dimen sions of a frigate : it is the largest steam-boat that has as yet been seen in the French navy. She has 14 port-holes, of which three are in the stern, and two in the bows. Her long guns and carronades are 24 pounders. She has two machines, from 80 to 90 horse power each. Orders have been received at Bayonne for the fitting out of the corvette Perle. " It is reported that government have made arrangements with the ship.owners of Bordeaux and Nantes for the freighting of a dozen ships. It appears that Havre is also to furnish some, but no very great activity appears there. As the expedition ought to be terminated by the end of June, so as to have any chance of success, it is understood that the minister will give very little delay to the ships that he will freight for this service. • It is not necessary to say that at Bayonne and at Rochefort, as at Havre and Bordeaux, and Toulon, great activity is making in raising sailors, which Is another obstacle to the prompt fitting out of merchantmen.".—Joie mai du Commerce. • " The Prince de Polignac has been indisposed for some days, and has not quitted his room. There have not been other meetings of the council of ministers titan those of Tuesday and Saturday." ...Note of the editor of the Gazelle. THE EVENING STAR. gether, will the banded advocates of oligarchy and public plunder prevail much longer, against a country deter mined to right itself. The article which has led to the seizure of Le Globe, and which was cursorily noticed by us on Monday, ap peared in the Times of yesterday. It is alike remarkable for sound argument and moderation. From the know ledge we possess of popular feeling in France, we should not hesitate to pronounce the sentiments conveyed by the writer to be those which animate the great ma jority of the nation. It may, in fact, be regarded as a species of manifesto preparatory to the assembling of the Chambers. As we said before, the right and expediency of changing a dynasty, when a king " reigns without governing," is discussed with that boldness and candour which the importance of such a question demands. The fate of the STUARTS-a very favourite topic with the political writers of France—is again brought forward, and followed up by a statement of facts which are but too well calculated to support the final conclusion. It would be fortunate for mankind, if the facts and arguments of this able writer applied to France alone : but unhappily they come home to the situation of almost every other country in Europe. We need only instance Austria, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium, where it is notorious that the Sovereigns are little more than puppets in the hands of corrupt and oppressive oligarchs ; men, who—instead of turning the virtue of their masters to any account—appear only intent on preventing their exertion in behalf of the subject many. We have only room for the concluding sentence of the article in question : a sentence, which ought to serve at once as a lesson and warning to all the Princes and Ministers of the earth. " M. DE POLIGNAC has again raised the storm. The violence of this storm will increase daily if he continues in office, or if he be succeeded by any one, either bold or timid, who may attempt by force or stra tagem, to oppose the HENCEFORTH IRRESISTIBLE DEV ELOPMENT OF POPULAR LIBERTY !" If any thing were wanting to prove the importance of the Public Meeting at the Mansion House, it would be found in the very pointed efforts made by the morning and evening journals retained by Ministers, and who daily labour to convince us that there is only partial distress in the country. We fearlessly appeal to every unbiassed observer whether the language held by the journals in question yesterday, is not utterly unfounded, and as such not entitled to the severest animadversion? Is it not most inhuman for any set of men, who affect to be the organs of public opinion, to adopt a course, the imme diate effect of which is to prevent the Government from taking any decisive steps for the removal of our into lerable sufferings ? While we do not, for a moment, imagine that any thing we can say will produce the smallest change in minds so depraved and corrupt, we cannot help reminding them of one consequence which can hardly fail to follow the present system of delusion and falsehood. It will show the people that they have no hope except in recurrence to those immutable principles on which the social compact was originally founded. We trust, indeed there is little doubt, but that the voice of con- I gregated millions t►tll soon convince ministers, and their abettors of the press, that distress is not merely general, but that a remedy will be found in the wisdom, 'energy, and resolution of the country. With regard to the meeting of Monday, we return with infinite de light to the demonstration of national feeling which took place on that occasion—where not twelve hundred, as we stated yesterday, but three thousand people, were assembled. After having joined with the most heartfelt sincerity in the thunders of applause which followed the adoption of Mr. HUNT'S resolution, our first exclamation to the person who stood next to us was—" England is saved; this must be the voice of the whole People, and who shall resist THEM !" Our minds being fully made up on this all-important and gratifying conclusion, we shall await the development of the grand drama, with a patience and resignation proportioned to the immense—the incalcula- ble benefits—which its dinointment must confer on our beloved country.

General Steam Navigation 100 15 411 We insert a second letter from our Correspondent, tr.o-STAB. It is not often that such high philo sophy and such fearful warning are found blended to gether : but it is the fate and curse of the privileged, in times like these, to have eyes, and see not— to have ears, and yet not to hear. We deeply participate in the conviction so forcibly expressed by our eloquent and pathetic Correspondent, that all distinctions and ascendencies of class are about to suffer terrible humiliations. We know not, indeed, what class shall escape them : for there is now such a per vading mischief, that the difficulty will be to eradicate it from its multitudinous locations, without taking the social machine to pieces. Yet, up to the last, we shall deprecate, and dissuade from all measures which can con duce to disorganisation : if the people are precipitated into convulsive disruption, it shall be by no encouragement from us—we know too well the value of intelligent com bination, and organised, constitutional resistance. It is, however, an old manoeuvre of arbitrary Govern ments, to force the people into unpremeditated insurrec tion ; that thus—while their plans of lawful and constitutional organisation are immature and im perfect—they may be more easily disconcerted and overthrown. But this prescriptive stratagem of tyranny is ever and anon resorted to, once too often; and the page of history is rife with red examples, of its fatal recoil upon the heads of experimenting oppressors. The mass—inert by reason equally of its ignorance, and pre disposition to sloth—will bear many turns of the torture screw : but at last, that turn which communicates un endurable agony arrives, and the up-bursting of those ignited elements is tremendous and irresistible, in propor tion as their former stagnancy was difficult to rouse. let Ministers, then, think twice, before they.venture on those farther curtailments of civil liberty, which we hear some among them are mad enough already to project. If they would save themselves, and their order—that is, the ORDER OF TILE PRIVILEGED—from extirpation, their path now is through the gates of concession, for coercion will avail them not. We implore them, in the emphatic language of the Marquis of BLAN DFORD, not l i to mistake the awful appearances around them : For signs are gone abroad, and omens strange, Spirits of RETORDIAT lON and of c RANGE t And all old things are altered with the time— Save the unalterable mew of crime f It is not foreign from the scope of the foregoing re- Sections, to notice here the tone of prophetic admonition, in which the Honourable Member for Montrose broke forth on Monday night in the House of Com mons. Ministers winced, when they heard the startling—yet, perhaps not distant—contingency of popular supersedure, announced in the very fortress of their strength and power. But it will come—that supersedure—so surely as they persist in their present course of governing, and grind the people to the earth, for all answer to their complaints and cries. The wicked denial of the Tunes yesterday, that distress was prevalent in the metropolis, proves what a frightful and extensive league corruption has formed out of doors to deceive and repress the people: but neither in doors, nor out of doors, by separate effort, nor conjoined to- ';-,1,*01 1 04 - In the Foreign Market scarce a bargain has been done to the pre. sent hour. Greek maintains the price of yesterday. We have several arrivals of ship letters, but of old dates. Charleston Pappeerrss have been received at the North and South American to the 22d January. The Mobile Papa of the Bth July states. by accounts from New Orleans, that informs. Lien was received there from Tampico that a number of hats, such as worn by the American seamen, with the weed " Hornet" on them, were picked up on the asst. This mart is considered as confirming the melancholy fate of the Hornet. Accounts from Mexico state that the decrees by which the im. of certain goods was prohibited after the 22d November, cairn suspended, and an order issued extending the period to the 31st December. HALF-FAST ONB. To the present hour we have sear cely a feature in the Cassel Market worth relodng—k being a holiday at the Bank, ne messy transactions are doing. Consols, in the coarse of the monting, were done at 91; and 92 to 6, for the account, and may now be veld at 911, and for next account 9!;1. utTbe Bears am caimpleee ineelsee l of the Bulls In this account. • I The transactions in the Foreign Market are scarcely, worth no ticing, very few bargains having been done.

Very advantageous proposals for this purpose have been made to Cooke, of Covent-garden, and other distinguished pantomimical performers.—Figaro. The Paris Papers continue to dwell with delight upon the late ball at the Opera HOUK; for the benefit of the poor. They boast the great amount of the receipts, viz. 130,000 francs, the splendour of the scene, the beauty of the women, and the richness of their dresses. The Duke de Chartres danced the ploppade with Madame Alpha, de Watry, one of the heroines of the fete. Among the finales who excited the greatest admiration, were the Duchess of Otrant, Istria, and Gulch,. The company amounted to 6,000. . yS' ~~~ .

What in trigues of the Jesuits have been discovered at St. Peters burgh, to force the government to take this step?— . - Figaro. The London Correspondent of the Dublin Morning Register, in describing the recent debate on Lord BLAN DFORD'S Reform Bill, speaks thus:—" In the early part of the debate, there was no apprehension on the part of ministers that the Marquis of BLAN DIFORD'S crude project of legislation would meet with any great support, but when, in the course of the. debate, a suggestion was thrown out to him to confine himself to a simple decla ratory resolution in favour of reform, there was evident alarm felt on the treasury benches, and by many of the Whig members who voted with ministers on the address. and who felt still greater uneasiness at the near prospect of having their sincerity in the cause of reform put to the test, and were naturally most desirous that the burden of rejecting the resolution should rest on the shoulders of the Noble Marquis. You cannot conceive the consterna tion of some members, and of Mr. BROUGHAM himself. when, upon his suggestion, the Marquis of BLA N DTO D unexpectedly consented to adopt the proposed resolution. which the honourable member himself did not propose, as would appear, by mistake. Lord ALTHORP, however, did, and the only alternative left to the ministry, who were not too well prepared, was to meet it by numbers. er get rid of it by a manoeuvre. Mr. PEEL (after a con sultation with the Speaker,) explained the forms of the house, which require that the first question put in sub , stance, though not in form, should be upon the original motion, and not, as generally thought, upon the amend ment. The first division would, therefore, be upon the , motion of the Noble Marquis, and in fact it so turned out ; and all those whose inclinations were with Minis- Jere, voted in the majority, and retired, giving Mr. BROUGHAM an opportunity of pressing the withdrawing of the resolution, as, during the division, many Members had left the House. Thus was prevented a decision upon a plain tangible proposition in favour of reform, and thus was also prevented the mortification of Ministers, who could scarcely collect a majority."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR—In my letter addressed to you on the 26th of January, which you were obliging enough to insert in your Paper of the following evening, I stated it to be my conviction, " that no effectual relief would be afforded to the people by the government." I further said, that " I should be mistaken, if the Aristocracy, like the Church, did not find themselves, sooner or later, humbled by the proceedings of a haughty soldier." Parliament met on the 4th of February,and I can appeal to you whether my expectations were correct as to these two points. With regard to the first, his MAJESTY has allowed himself to be misrepresented to his people, by the insertion of an atrocious falsehood in the speech from the throne. That speech, Sir, is, in my opinion, a constitutional ground of impeachment of the Primo Minister, and his servile satellites. There is a passage in the Times of this morning to the following effect :—" Ministers, he could assure the Com mittee, deeply lamented the distress of the people, and sympathised in their sufferings ; sympathised with them the more, on account of their moderation and forbearance' under the pressure of calamity." This language, Sir, is stated to have been used by Mr. PEEL, with a view ma nifestly to heighten his own self-complacency at the ex pence of Mr. Humn, whom the home officer very violently abused, because Mr. HUME assured this clerk of en dowments, monopolies, and corruption, that the people would ultimately break their chains upon the heads of their oppressors, or something to this effect. Now, Sir, to speak in language which the government are fast urging into frightful currency—that is strong and vulgar language—l ask, does Mr. PEEL so delude himself as not to think that, if he were to stand on the Change of London with these, his words, placarded on his head, every nine persons out of ten would not call him hypocrite and knave? And yet, Sir, it is with the doctrines of such a man that the KING or ENGLAND is binding up his own 110VALTY,—and the lives of those subjects whom it is the KING'S duty to protect ! As one of the people, I reply to Mr. PEEL, that I believe him to be adding lie to lie—" flattering himself in his own eyes, until his abominable iniquity be found out." With respect to the second point.—The determination of the Duke of WELLINGTON to adhere to the present currency measure, must have the effect of passing over to the hands of the poor, and the fundholder, and the mortgagee, the " lands, tenements, and hereditameuts" of a very large class of the nobility ; and this I think will be humiliation enough for those who have sold the people into the hands of corrupt power. Do not imagine, however, that I rejoice at this retributive justice. lam sorry that the younger members of noble families should be driven from their family homes, by " events," over which it may very truly be said, " they had no controul." Whilst I thus write, Sir, I unfeignedly assure you that I know of no man from whom. I would take away a " shoe tie :" I know of no man whose outward circum- cumstances of comfort I would forcibly abridge ; and whilst I believe that monarchical, priestly, military, naval, legal, commercial, professional, and literary ascendencies have to be fearfully humbled, there is yet a path out of existing difficulties, which the " vulture's eye" bath not seen. " Destruction and Death say, we have heard the fame thereof with our ears —Gov understandeth theway thereof."—Job, xxviii. 7. 22. 23; see Daniel, xi. 32. S. H. B. C. PHILO STAR. February 23, 1830. I cannot close, without referring to Mr. PEEL'S as surance to the people—see the Times of this morning— that should they be led to use force, they must be " promptly, efficiently, and successfully resisted." What hope can a nation have in a coxcomb like this ? Did he yield to the Catholics—and will Englishmen be less firm in despising him and his opinions ? Did the people of France quail before the babble of hypocrisy and fribble ? A stripling became the scourge of Kings, when the people rose into the madness of despair ; and who were the true revolutionists of those fell times ? such men as Lord ELDON! the Duke of Wzmallozow ! Mr. PEEL! ! ! and the leaven of unprincipled INDUSTRY ! It cannot have escaped your observation that this genus are the root of republicanism :—" and the man JE ROBOAM was mighty, and the KING seeing the young man—that he was industrious—made him ruler over the house ; and JanonoAw, even he, lifted up his hand against the Kixo."—l Kings, xi. 28, 26 His Majesty, it is expected, will hold a Court this day, at his Palace at Wi,dsor.

MR.ED irou,—l have read with no small surprise th., short leading► article in the Times of this morning, in which the writer has the monstrous impudence to assert that " in this monstrous city of London there is no want of employment for the industrious and honest;" and that " artisans and manufacturers of that description are in full employment." The writer adds—" We are almost afraid of stating the fact, lest we should draw more of the idle and dissolute from the country than are already crowding our streets." My pity for this heartless de claimer gives place to my indignation, and I tell him to his teeth that he shamefully belies a suffering and op pressed people, to relieve whose miseries he will net put forth one of his little fingers. But I will not indulge in the expression of feelings to which I can scarcely find language to give utterance. I say to this insulting writer, if you are ignorant of the real state of the artisans and manufacturers in London, go to Spitalfields and Bethnal-green ; where I have been, not to insult, but to alleviate the miseries of my fellow creatures. Go to the different asylums for sheltering the houseless, and after you have examined the 700 or 800 wretched individuals who nightly receive with thank fulness straw for a bed, and bread and water as their only fare, let your flinty heart relent so far as to induce you to be honest. Go to the gates of the several Docks in London, and after you have surveyed the le:tti and hag gard countenances of the coopers, labourers, &c. who attend continually imploring for work, learn to refrain from abusing, if you cannot spare a tear. Go to the waterside and to the workhouses, and when you have done all this, if you are not satisfied that you have put forth and given currency to barefaced and insulting I,e -tions, then come to me, and I will guide you to scenes where, if you have the common feelings of humanity, you will not only recant, but publish your recantation to tile world. A worm will turn when trodden upon. Humble as I am, I defy the "leading Journal of Europe" to the proof of what he so unblushingly asserts, and I engage to meet him with proofs to the contrary, if needful. 2, Jeffrey's-square, Feb. 23.
