Since writing the latter part of the subsequent com ments on Algiers, we received, by express, the Moniteur of Monday, with Le Globe, and L' Universe! of the same date. The Monitcur has the following:— TLLEORAPHIC DESPATCH. " TOULON, JULY 9, Half-past 12 &Clock. " ADMIRAL DUPERRE TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " Before Algiers, July 3. " I assembled yesterday the fleet, before Algiers. The day before, Admiral ROSA MEL, on a diversion, made a false attack on the batteries of the Marine and Mole ; as likewise on those placed on the sea shore. I renewed the attack this day ; and the whole army fought under the continual fire of the enemies artillery." " Before Algiers, July 6. " The army of the KING has triumphed—and the fate of Algiers is decided ! Since yesterday the KING'S flag is flying on all the forte, and over the palace of the DEY." From Le Globe. Another telegraphic despatch received this day— Monday—states that on the 3d the heavy cannonade and bombardment of Algiers took place, by sea and land, which lasted the whole day, with most terrible execution on both sides. Algiers did not capitulate until a breach was made. General Boy RBIONT has not only been instantly made MARSHALL Of FRANCE, but likewise Dux Eof ALGIERS. To-morrow, the Electors of Paris are to assemble in their different Col leges, for the formation of a bureau, definitively to name the Deputies. A rumour, or piece of intelligence—as we believe we might almost venture to term it, from the high source to which we are indebted for it—has come to our hands this morning ; which, if true, will explain whathas, to us, almost appeared inexplicable, the apathy with which this country and the other European Powers, have allowed the French Expedition to Algiers, to accomplish its object, without any apparent display of opposition or jealousy. We are informed—and our information is derived from one who holds a most pre-eminent place in the circles of French politics—that by an agreement, or treaty, entered into between France, Great Britain, and Russia, it was arranged that Algiers is to be an independent free port, or small State—analagous to what the Hanse-towns formerly were—its independence to be under the guaran tee of England, France, and Russia. We think it not improbable that the execution of some such plan, may have been the cause of the apparent tacit acquiescence of Britain, to the great transaction which has just occurred ; but we cannot avoid recurring to the apprehensions we have taken occasion so frequently to mention—and we believe we may claim to ourselves the merit of first calling the public attention to the political hazards or probable consequences of the French Expedi tion—that the present position of parties in France, will weigh most materially as to the probabilities of such an agreement, as is now mentioned, being carried into execution: We believe the time has come, when the present French Administration, must either consent to ,receive a portion of liberal alloy—or turn out. The only other possible, contingency is, that the Kim; gal lantly determines to keep them in, without possessing thafinfluence in the representative body, which can alone cedglWreal power on the executive ; and then his gallantry may probably prove greater thin his prudence, and the loss lof his Crown be its result. We sincerely hope such a state of Araks may' be averted, by the predominanceyet id his councils, of more wisdom and more of the spirit of libernlity.aml. conciliation than - has yet, unfortunately, ' , been • inhibited. Probably before this,,paper goes to .iireas, we may receive intelligence from France of . , the result of the French Elections, and the further particulars I • ~.-_ - _. 111 CITY, - of the capture of Algiers, as such intelligence is hourly eicpected; and we shall therefore drop our conjectures on these subjects for the present. , The speech of Mr. BROUGHAM last night on West . India Slavery, we hope will be perused with attention throughout the country at the present juncture ; for we agree with Sir F. BURDETT in his reply to Mr. MAN NING, that the approach of an election is the most proper time to discuss this subject—and, we will add— every subject which is vitally interesting to British character or British interests. Mr. MANNING, in some of the morning papers, is said to have used the peculiarly naive expression, that it was very incon 'icnient to be questioned at elections ; and whether such expression be correctly reported or not, the public may take it for granted, that many Honour able Gentlemen (I() find—and, we trust, will find—the practice of questioning them on their past conduct very inconvenient : but that the inconvenience is felt, we hope will form a further inducement to persevere in the prac- I tire. We observe, by a document in the Morning Chronicle, that some highly respectable and wealthy in habitants of Bristol, have set an example on the subject of the West India slavery question, which might be fol lowed with propriety both in that and other questions. The presen4declarationlis excellent ;;but we think the pre fixed Address goes too far, when it purposes to make the test of obtaining suffrages, merely the abstract question of being a " Slave trader or West India merchant." We have known slave holders and West India Merchants (we con fess they are rather scarce) most sincerely attached to the abolition of slavery ; and are sure their own interests, if well understood, would make many proselytes from those classes. On the question itself we have before given our opinion. The argument that the bad present treatment of slaves in the West Indies is proved by their not keeping up their number according to the law of nature, which Mr. BROUGHAM so ably illustrated, is we consider quite unanswerable. When human beings are fairly treated, they will, it is well known, increase and multiply ; and where they do not increase and mul tiply, they must be labouring under the effect of some artificial evils. Surely the cogency of this reasoning requires no adventitious support—it is almost a self-evi dent proposition. We conceive, however, that the situation of the owners of West Indian property—in case it could be proved that any evil arose from a sudden change of legislation —is, properly, a subject of consideration. On the whole we are pleased with what, judging by the Reports, were the declarations of Sir ROBERT PEEL. We believe the present Administration have the cause at heart; and we look with confidence to their conduct, in the next Parliament. Those who would wish to understand the real interests of the West India Plaster, should peruse with attention a work entitled, "On the Mitigation of Slavery," by our late friend, Dr. DICKSON—a Gentleman well informed and enthusiastic in this cause—one who laboured early with CLARKSON in the great measure of abolition, and was, we believe, a valuable coadjdtor. The work we mention contains an account of a curious and successful experiment of gradual manumission, made many years ago by a Mr. STEELE, in Barbadoes ; and many other interesting facts, col lected with vast industry from a viriety of sources.—We recommend this work to the perusal of our readers. The treaty of friendship and commerce, between Turkey and tho United States of America, was finally concluded at Constantinople, on the 30th May. Commodore B DDLE, and Messrs. OFFLEY and Ru YND, were the agents on the part of America. By accounts received this day from Paris, we find that the insurrections in Albania have assumed a most serious aspect. The f►rst causes of sedition seems to have been that the Albanian troops, who served with the Turks against the Russians, have returned to their country, and demanded but without successs the pay due to them from their chiefs. The result' has been that anarchy reigns in every part of the country ; the power of the SULTAN is everywhere despised; and the Alba nian militia are given up to every kind of excess. In several towns, the inhabitants who profess the Greek re ligion, as well as the Jews, have been plundered by the insurgents; and these spoliation have given, in some instances, a religious character to the revolt. From Greece the revolt will receive auxiliaries. The coasts of Corinth, and the population of the several islands in the Archipelago, are colonies from Albania; and if the insurrection be in want of experienced chiefs, these can be procured from Greece. It is said that in dividuals, charged to give a legal and regular character to the revolt, have left Napoli and Hydra ; and that these will ensure the success of it. The latest news even states, that the Greek Government had assembled, at Argos, two legions of 10,000 men, destined to protect, a Albania, the people of their religion oppressed by the iPorte. We have a report of two expresses from Paris this morning, which no doubt bring the result of the Paris election, which took place on Monday ; also the details of the events at Algiers; but as yet nothing official has transpired. Console opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 931 for the account. At present the mar ket is not so good, and they are 93i 1 ; for next account 941. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. No mails or ship letters have arrived. LIVZRPOOL, JULY 12..—Since the determination of Government has been mide known, relative to the altera tion of the Sugar duties, the demand has revived, and sales have been made in British Plantation Sugar to the extent of 1,000 hbds. chieffy Barbadoes and Antigua.— The Cotton Market has again been very animated. There has been a, tolerably fair demand for Pine Timber during the week. The old stocks are mostly run off. - CI?'?, HALF.PAST ONE. Consols' have advanced to 941 owing to the French 3 per Cents. coming higher 79-40. The Moniteur of Monday does not. contain a detailed account o f th e ta ki n g lof Algiers. Nothing doing in the Foreign Merket: COURT INTELLIGENCR. Yesterday morning, about a quarter before twelve o'clock, his Majesty, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived at his palace, St. James's, escorted by a party of Lancers, from the Queen's Lodge, Bushy Park. Soon after his Majesty's arrival, the King proceeded to held a Court, which was attended by the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord President of the Coun cil, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Lord Privy Seal, the Presi dent of the Board of Control, the Chancellor of the Ex .cheqner, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the `Commander of the Forces, the Hanoverian Minister, the Master of the Horse, the Comptroller of the Household, the Clerk Marshal, Lord Clinton, Lord in Waiting, and the lion. John Townsliend, Groom in Waiting. Dr: Monck, Dean of Peterborough, did homage before the King upon his being elected to the See of Glocester. The Bishop of Chichester, as Clerk of the Closet, and Sir Robert Peel, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, assisted at the ce remony. Sir Thomas Thompson had an audience of the King, when he delivered the riband of the Order of the Bath, worn by his late father. _ _ The 'Marquis of Cholmondeley was presented to the King on being appointed Great Chamberlain of England in the room of Lord Gwydyr, and received the Key and the Staff of Office. Sir Thomas Hammond had an audience of the King, when he resigned the office of Clerk Marshal. The Field-officer in waiting, and the Captain of the King's Guard, had audiences of the King, and made a report of the effective state of the three regiments of Foot Guards. The King held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Buller attended as clerk, when the Duke of Hamilton, Lord St. Helen's, and the Hon. Richard Ryder were re-sworn, and took their seats at the Board accordingly. Some designs for three new seals for the respective Secretaries of State were submitted to the King in Council, when his Majesty was graciously pleased to signify his approval of the same. Mr. Greville was re-sworn Clerk of the Privy Council, Mr. Butler having been sworn at a previous council. His Majesty gave audiences to the Duke of Welling ton, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, the Duke of Leeds, Count Munster, Lord Dufferin, Mr. Arbuthnot, Lord St. Helen's, the Mar quis of Hertford, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, Lord Hill, Sir Howard Douglass, Sir W. W. Wynn, Captain Woolmer, and Sir James Satimarcz. The King received visits from the Dukes of Cumber land and Sussex. The Court broke up at about five o'clock, soon after which time his Majesty left town, attended by Sir Her bert Taylor, for the Queen's Lodge, Bushy Park, escorted 'by a party of Lancers. The crowd assembled received the King with loud and repeated h u zzas. It is understood that the Duke of Buckingham will be I the future Lord Steward of the Household. His Majesty was in town yesterday as early as eleven o'clock :he was accompanied by one of his sons. He was in his travelling carnage and four, attended by out riders, and a small guard of Lancers, who, as on a former day, ranged themselves across the road, and thus formed a pretty, without an ostentatious sight. All the win dows were down, and the King moat graciously acknow ledged the notices taken of him as he travelled along. He looked very well. The Duke of Norfolk, yesterday afternoon, attended by Sir George Naylor, returned from Windsor to the Earl-Marshal's Office, after having completed and issued the arrangement for the ceremonial of the late King's remains lying in state. Norris Castle, in the Isle of Wight, the splendid ma rine residence of the late Lord Henry Seymour, has; it is confidently stated, been engaged for their Majesties; but who, we should imagine, will hardly be able to visit half the places which report has assigned them as residences for the next three months. HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—On Friday, at the parade of the Royal Mid-Lothian Yeomanry, Sir John Hope, the Colonel, recommended to the members of the corps to be careful to preserve their accoutrements in good order, as he was assured that in all probability his Majesty will visit Scotland in September, when, of course, they would be called out. The Act appointing, or rather continuing, the func tions of Mr. Brougham's Charity Commissioners, expired on the Ist instant. It was intended to continue their powers for another year, and the Learned Gentleman, it is said, undertook to bring in a bill for the purpose ; but he either forgot or neglected to do it, and the Com mission, and, of course, with it, its charge to the country is at an end. On Monday last, orders were issued to the. Colonels of the following regiments, directing them to furnish de tachments of men to assist in the military part of the funeral ceremony of his late most gracious Majesty George IV. at Windsor Castle. Accordingly, the fol ion ing detachments have been ordered to march for Windsor this day. One hundred rank and file from the 2nd battalion of the Grenadier Guards, from the West minster quarters. The same number from the 3d batta lion of Grenadier Guards, quartered at the Tower. The whole of the 2nd battalion of the Coldstream. Guards, from Knightsbridge barracks ; and the Ist battalion of the 3rd regiment from the barracks in the King's Mews ; the whole of the above force will be under the command of Colonel M'Donnell, of the Coldstream regiment of Guards. The police who will be employed to preserve order and prevent the depredations of the London thieves, who art expected to visit Windsor, will be placed under Sir Richard Birnie, who was similarly employed at the in terment of the late Duke of York. Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, thirty-two of the most active and vigilant officers and surveyors of the Thames police left London for Windsor, where they will be employed during the lying in state and funeral. Several of the Bow-street establishment will also coperate with the Thames-police. under the direction of the chief Magistrate. The new po lice will not be engaged on the occasion, an objection to their presence having been raised in a very high quarter. The service of the 'Thames police officers have been called into requisition at the express desire of his Majesty, who had an opportunity of witnessing the active exertions of this effective body of men at the public breakfast on the river, three years since, when our present Monarch filled the office of Lord High Admiral. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to order that twelve men from each company of the various regiments of grenadier guards, now on duty in the garrisons and barracks of the metropo lis, shall attend at the funeral, in preference to taking one battalion to the exclusion of another. This course will prevent all jealousies, and the men are to be chosen byl the commanding o ffi c er, in reference to their characte r and standing in their resPictive corps. The party chosen l from the lst regiment of grenadier guards Isi s - the Tower marched yesterday morning: The others followed terday afternoon. - • • • PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE. GENERAL ELECTION. Sir Robert Peel has published an address to the " wor thy electors of the borough of Tamworth," " soliciting the high trust of protecting its rights and promoting its interests." LI VE It POO L.—Monday last a meeting of the friends of the right hon. William Huskisson was held in the large room in the King's-Arms, to take the necessary pre liminary steps for securirg his return at the ensuing ge neral election as one of the representatives of Liverpool. The meeting was very numerously and most respectably attended, and the chair was occupied by Sir John Tobin. A requisition to Mr. Huskisson, requesting him to he conic a candidate for the representation of the borough at the ensuing general election, was unanimously agreed to, and a committee of gentlemen appointed to carry the requisition into effect.—Liverpool Albion. BEDFOIID.••4t is likely there will be a severe contest for this borough ; Captain Polhill, of Howbury-hall, near Bedford, having come forward, as we before stated, to oppose the Russell and Whitbread interest. BEDFORDS I itr.—Mr. Stuart has been very success ful in his canvass for this county. Bat DGNORTII. —T homasWhitmore and William Whit mac, Esqrs. have again offered themselves for this borough. CANTERBURY.—Lord Clifton, the Hon. Mr. Richard Watson, and Mr. Baring, are busily employed in their canvass. COLCHESTER.—Mr. Sanderson has published an ad dress to the burgesses of this borough. G LOC EST En.—Colonel Berkeley has relinquished all intention of representing this city. GREAT YA R MOUT .—From all that we learn, Colonel Anson and C. E. Rumbold, Esq. will be again returned. MA I DBTON E.— lien ry Winchester, Esq. has declared himself a candidate, iu the room of Mr. Wells. SII ROPSinnE.—There does not scent much probability of a contest, and it is generally expected that the present members will be again elected. SourtiAmrTox.—The present members, A. R. Dot tin, and J. B. Ilay, Esqrs. Candidates mentioned-- J. Fleming, Esq. who, it is reported, intends to resign the county in favour of the Marquis of Douro, the son of the Duke of Wellington ; H. Stanton, Esq. who was nominated at late election last January, and one or two others are expected. WAttwic (County.)—Tho two present members, S. Dugdale, Esq. and F. Lawley, Esq. kill stand again for this county, and we believe that no opposition is at pre sent intended. At present there appears to be little prospect of an opposition either for Middlesex, Surrey, Westminster, London, or Southwark. Such an instance, perhaps, was never known before, as that the five principal metropo litan constituencies should not have produced some jarring interests. At a ineetin.• of one of the Electioneering Clubs in the interest of Lord George Lennox, last week, at Chi chester, the company drank, at the Noble Lord's ex pense, no less than 800 glasses of grog, besides beer in profusion. Some of the hungry folks of Southampton, unable to wait for the good fare at the ensuing election, last week broke open the larder of Mr. Hoy, one of the Nlembeis for the town, and stripped it of all its provisions ! A great number of burgesses of Newcastle have lately taken up their freedom preparatory to the approaching election. We have heard it whispered that a third can didate will yet offer for this town. We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of the rumour, but a very short time will decide whether it is well or ill-founded. NORTHUMBFRLAND ELECTION.—There is no doubt that Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Bell will poll till the last, however strong the contest may be. Mr. Liddell has announced his intention of commencing his canvass Friday, with a view of ascertaining the sentiments tertained by the freeholders towards him. If the lion, Gentleman receives the support his friends anticipate; lo will certainly proceed to a poll, but nut otherwise. Mr. O'Connell was expected to arrive at Kingstown, by one of the Government packets, Tuesday morning Lord Fortes left London, on Friday, for Longford. A. V. Kirwan, Esq. a gentlemen formerly connected with the Dublin and London press, is a candidate for the borough of Oakham, in Devonshire. Sir Henry Brooke, Bart. has arrived iu Dublin from Colebrook. Colonel Kingsmill left Dublin, on Saturday, ,for Ravenswell, Bray. COUNTY 1 7 1RMANAG11.—We hear that the county Fermanagh is likely to be contested by the Erne family. Mr. Creighton is, we understand, on his return from the Continent. Cur NT, Sheil had engaged not only to retire (in the event of a general election,) but to use all his influence in favour of Mr. Fitzgerald, of Fane Valley, in the event of his becoming a candidate. Under these circumstances what part has Mr. Fitzgerald acted ? Feeling that Mr. Sheil, who had calculated upon being returned upon an incidental vacancy, had suffered a con siderable disappointment, and considering it more condu cive to the union of the popular party, that Mr. Sheil should. for the present, he placed with Alexander Daw son at their head, actuated by a sense of the public ser vices of that gentleman, and above all by regard to the general good, Mr. Fitzgerald has voluntarily resigned, and given all his interest to Mr. Sheil. COUNTY MEATII.—The friends of Mr. O'Connell in this county promise to return him, if he will become a candidate. They promise to do this without affecting the interests of Lord Killeen. Mr. Lawless commenced his canvass in the county Meath on Thursday, the Bth inst. accompanied by some of the leading men of Meath. His reception by the freeholders was of the most warm and enthusiastic kind: in two days he got one hundred ana twenty votes—not content with their oral declarations, but giving him their names. _ _ SLIGoCOUNTY.—Three candidates for the represen tation of this county are already in the field, Fitzstephen French, Esq. the Hon. Gen. King, and Lord Kirkwall. The latter has not yet formally published his addrese to the electors, but it is generally known that he is media vouring to canvass some of them; he is feeling Ws way, but it appears from his timidity in not openly avowing himself, that his feelers have met with an icy reception. It is, nevertheless, hourly expected that he will publish on address. Three, nay, four other candidates are talked of, viz. the Hon. Mr. Temple, a brother of Lord Viscount Palmerston's, Col. Perceval, and Meson. John Wynne, of Hazlewood, and his brother-in-law, Joshua Edward Cooper, of Markree.—Sligo Observer. BOROUGH or &rms.—The gradual reform which is working , its way in England, to.correct the abuses of the borough system, has not been unobserved at this side el the channel. Therefore, it is with pleasure we!, new say, that the inhabitants of our boroughs, feast dot lowly state of degradation anti mockery by which *sir representation has been managed, are determined eakoo setting their rights, for which purpose a committ e e is ling, which will be composed of a num ber of l well qualified to laid in the political nigeneraties of sot ,tolok.--,Clare Sentinel. - MIA/ ILIIS d can- pledge y short ) doubt le last, 11 has nnvass its- En- e lion. ate ; he ;atom it, )rning I. inected for the n from turday, county family. cm the )t only to use Fane Under acted ? being a con- • rondu- Shell Daw- ic eer- to the 4, and sell in ome a ng the ed his h inst. t.
