The KING has passed a good night. His MAJES TY'S cough and expectoration continue. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. “ MATTHEW J. TIERNEY.” By express from Paris this morning, we have advices dated Sunday evening and yesterday morning. An ordonnance of the KING has appeared, respecting the electoral rights, by which the Colleges are directed to assemble as follows:—" The Colleges of the arrondise meats on the 12th July, and the Colleges of the depart ments on the 19th." The ordonnance of the 16th May is revoked, as far as the departments are concerned. —..,_____ The letters from Madrid reach to the 16th inst. The Sarragossa accounts state that the Ebro was covered with (*rain vessels, on their way to supply the French expedi tion.., The reports of the insurrection in the Basque provinces are said to be much exaggerated. The Lisbon letters announce that fresh proclamations of tho young QUEEN had been put in circulation, accompanied by se veral decrees, appointing a Court of Justice and a Coun- c.il of State for Terceira. The Secret Police of Don Alio VEL were endeavouring, most vigilantly, to detect the distributors. The contents of private letters received this day from Toulon are interesting. They afford some statistical in formation respecting the Algerine coast—a spot on which the eyes of all Europe are now so intensely fixed. It appears that Turetta Chica, where tho expedition landed, is four leagues south-east of Algiers ; and was always looked upon as a most convenient port for disem barkation. From this place to Algiers, the country is generally fertile, and covered with vegetation. Between the two places, are situate the houses of the Consuls of France, Sardinia, and England ; and in advance of the French position is the small river, Mozafron. The intelligence from France of yesterday, is the first page of a book of many chapters ;—and what those chapters are to contain, none of those who now take a part in the transaction, can predict : such is the in scrutable concatenation of human events—particularly when those events involve so many contingencies. We may, however, now that the first step is securely taken, v.ith some probability calculate on the success of the os tensible object of the expedition, and in the final down fall of a power which has existed so long, to the disgrace of the civilized part of Europe. In so far, every friend to the general interests of the human race must feel satisfaction. Good, upon a great scale, will result from this event, as the eyes of the phi losopher must discern. it never fails to result, in all the great operations of Divine Providence ; but if we are al lowed to conjecture on the more proximate results, as af fecting the partial interests of existing States, and our own in particular, we cannot but have our satisfaction mingled a little with many apprehensions. A collateral object of the French Government in un dertaking the expedition, has been supposed to be, that it might act as a kind of favorable diversion, and tend to carry the people's minds away, from the important struggle now approximating a decision, between the li beral and royalist parties in France. It has been re marked, that the first receipt of the intelligence had not produced that sensation in Paris which probably was ex pected. The military ambition of /a Grande Nation, we fear, feels itself not interested in any exploit led on by a BOURAIONT. It has, however, been fortunate for the royalist party, that news of a contrary description has not arrived ; for, although intelligence of success may not have any important effect in forwarding its wishes, news of a disaster could not fail to have been fatal to them. Although we have little doubt that our own rulers have satisfied themselves, that the French Government have no other object in the expedition except that which is avowed—the subjection of a piratical power —what, in the language of our law is called, the abatement of a nuisance ; and although we havo no doubt that em..." • vt• w.il oPIT4 as, Al S such is the simmer- and only ' intention of the re sent Fret* Ministry, yet we cannot be without mis givine, - that the machinery put in motion may go on 'Unger than those who gave it motion may have intended. Much information must be current in France, and known to a discerning and intelligent French poli tician, which does not appear to have reached this coun try.—Of what character are the troops sent on this expedition ? Are they a casual , indiscriminate draft of troops from different portions of the French army—or is any line of selection discernible ? Are there any por tions of the French army known to be more Royalist in feeling than other portions ? And if such shades of military character exist—which of these shades predo minate in what is called the Algiers Expeditionary Army ? —or aro the shades so equally blended that no predomi nance is to be discerned? These questions, if answered, would afford the means of further speculation on two contingencies, which the history of the World has before presented to a politician's observation. Com bustibles carried out of a house to prevent explosion in one place, may explode in another. Most certainly we perceive not a GERM AN ICUS in a BOUR MONT, nor pro bably in the other commanders ; —but history tells us of the exploits of adventurers of varied characters. The other contingency alluded to is, that if the troops now sent out of France, comprehend many of the elite of faithful adherents to the Royalist party, may not their presence be missed at home, when most required ? Such suggestions about the future we must, however, consider as mere indulging ourselves in what may be termed political reverie ; but we must be allowed to say that there is another contingency, not so entirely " a baseless fabric." It is the scene, both pre serit and prospective, which the situation of this ex pedition will open to the eyes of Europe should the present elections in France not terminate favourably to the views of the Royalist party. Should a Liberal mi nistry supersede the present, then will vanish all the fair, unambitious intentions of France, and all the guarantees afforded our Government and the other Governments in ' terested in the events. Then may follow, and in all probability would follow, the breaking-up of that union between certain great powers, which only exists until the opportunity favourable to rupture may arrive. We have called the attention of our readers to this sub ject, we are aware, perhaps, at the hazard of laying our selve open to criticism ; but our sincere opinion is, that, in all probability, on this occasion, "the King of France, with twenty thousand men, will not go up a hill, and then come down again." CITY,TIVgLVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened at the tame price they left off yester day, 92i f for the Account, with scarce any thing doing as yet. The Foreign Market is also void of all interest—prices nominal. From Newfoundland, we learn, that three hundred vessels, having on board upwards of 20,000 men, sailed from the different ports of Newfoundland this spring, for the sealing voyage. About one hundred of these had sailed from the port of St. John's prior to the 16th March. The important business of seal fishing has been singularly productive this season—from the 24th March to the 29th inclusive, seventeen vessels in that trade had arrived. The entire number of seals taken by them is 38,968. It is stated that an additional duty of nearly one-fourth of a dollar has been laid on cod-fish by the King of Spain. Accounts from Madrid inform us, of the 9th June, that ' M. Aguado's visit to that capital has been postponed ; his projected journey was connected with a scheme of, recognizing the Cortes Bond, but the King of Spain continues obstinate in his resolution on the subject. Six regiments of the line are on their march to form the Army of Reserve in Africa; they amount to 11,050 men—head-quarters to be at Aix. A French Paper makes the following remarks on the approaching elections :—" We receive every day cheer ing accounts from the departments. The electorial prospects are excellent from all parts of the kingdom, from the North to the South, from Bayonne to Stras burg, from Bordeaux to Paris, but one feeling has pre vailed on the insupportable duration of the Ministry formed against the Charter, and which endangers the Monarchy even more than it threatens freedom. Every where amonst men who love both, there is a perfect una nimity, and the rallying cry being the majority of 221. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The Funds are as dull as the weather, and we have not a feaure worth observation to communicate ; the only difference in their price is, that there have been buyers at 92f for the Account, and at present they are belling at the above prices. The Foreign Market is in the same state of stagna tion as the British Market. All the Foreign Funds, with the exception of Spanish, which has improved, remain at nearly the same price as yesterday. Letters from Hislar of the 9th March state, th .t a shock of an earthquake was felt, and that 500 persons who had taken refuge in the mosques and churches, were buried in the ruins. An opening took place in one of the highest mountains, and one part was detached from its base. There has not been experienced at Gibraltar so severe a winter as the last for upwards of 30 years. It was ac companied with gales and hurricanes which produced the most alarming and serious consequences, by the sudden destruction of houses, garden-walls, trees torn up by their roots, &c. presenting a melancholy and alarming spectacle to the inhabitants. The shipping also suffered materially, and its severe effects were seen by innumerable wrecks scattered over our bay. There are a few letters from the Swan River Settle ment to the 27th January. The new towns settled are Freemantle, on the Melville River; Perth and Guilford, on the River Swan; and a town upon the Cockburn Sound. The following arrivals are stated :—Minstrel, Arkol, from London to Swan River ; Wanstead, Friend, from ditto to ditto; Eagle, Pratt, from ditto to ditto; Parmelia;'Luscombe, - from Java to ditto ; and Industry, Young, from. Sydney to ditto—previous to the 26th of January, 1830. ' nom a variety of sources we have the strongest reason to believe that all letters coming overland from our squadron in the Mediterranean, have been of late regu larly opened on passing through the southern parts of Europe, and in numberless instances, when such letters have contained information respecting Algiers, or in fact any communication of a political character, they have never reached their destination. No doubt the Marseilles' or Parisian police can give a good account of them.— Devosport Teleyruph. COURT INTELLIGENCE. Trrs Ktwc.—Yesterday Sir Henry Halford and Sir Robert Tierney remained in constant attendance on the Kink. Mr. I3rodie and Mr. Nussey returned to the Palace last night. The unfavourable tone of the Bulle tins has excited considerable anxiety among the public ; the throng at the King's Palace, St. James's, yesterday, exceeded that of any former day (Sundays excepted). The Earl of Chesterfield, for Lord Boden, and Colonel Armstrong, were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. WINDSOR, Monday evening. There has not been any material change la the state of his Majesty's health since the issuing of the Bulletin this morning; but during the afternoon the King had some refreshing sleep. No ar. rivals at the Castle this day, excepting the venerable Earl Cathcart and Dr. Blomberg, who called to make personal inquiries after the health of the King.— Both the Physicians remain in immediate at. tendency on his Majesty, and Mr. Brodie, who left the Castle this morning, returned again skirt's!. Prince and Princess Lieven passed through Frankfort on the II th inst. without stopping, on their way from London to Warsaw. M. de Peyronnet, in imitation of Louis XVIII. is reported to have said lately,—" My Ministry has com mitted faults : I will repair them. It is my design in three months to be the most popular man in France." Count Guilleminot, it is said, is about to quit Con stantinople to go to Egina, as some suppose, for the purpose of meeting Capo d'lstrjas; but the purposes of this secret mission are said by the French journalists to be involved in mystery. Prince Leopold entertained the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland and Prince Frederick of Prussia to dinner yesterday, at his residence at Claremont. The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir George Murray, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, visited the Duke of Wel lington yesterday at the Treasury. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence took an airing in Kew Gardens on Sunday. Their Royal Highnesses visited the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland at their residence at Kew, and partook of a dejeune with the Duke and Duchess. The Princess Augusta also arrived in the afternoon at Kew, and dined with the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. Sir Thomas Lethbridge having become a resident in another county, he will, it is supposed, vacate his seat for Somersetshire. The present Members for Westminster, it is said,con sole themselves with the hope that they will again be allowed to walk quietly over the course—but we shall see. Mr. O'Connell, in a letter addressed to Mr. Thomas Haughton, of Carlow, brings the following charge against the Parliamentary Reporters of the London Press :—" I suppose you must have perceived that the London news papers are not sufficiently interested in the subjects I bring forward to give them in any detail. I despise the men who act thus, but I suffer by it in public estimation." The Emperor of Russia, and the Empress, are ex pected to return to Warsaw speedily. Baron Alexander de Humboldt had left Warsaw, to join the King of Prus sia. Mademoiselle Sontag had also departed from War saw, for the Castle of Fishbach, where she was ex pected to sing at the musical fetes to be given there during the residence of the Empress of Russia, and of the Royal Family of Prussia. This celebrated cantatrice was to return on the 15th from Warsaw, from whence she goes to Petursburg and Moscow. The Bishops of Llandaff and Bristol, the Hon. Agar Ellis, M.P. and Lady Geurgiana Ellis, and Messrs. Brougham and Calcraft, were at the rem* Church to hear Mr. Benson on Sunday last. The church was crowded to excess. The Rev. Gentleman's text was from the 49th chapter of Genesis, at the sth and 7th verses. Dinner parties were given on Saturday by Lord llrid port, Wimpole-street ; Archer Houblon, Esq. Cavendish square ; Sir Thomas Lennard, Bart. Bryanston-square Lady Hampden, Green-street, Grosvenor-square ; on Sunday by the Marquis of Lansdowne, Berkeley-square ; and yesterday by the Duke of Beaufort, Grosvenor square ; the Earl of Aberdeen, Argyll-street ; Lord Brid port, Wimpole-street ; Lord Dynevor, Dover-street. Dr. Chalmers last week paid a visit to Exeter, and ex pressed himself delighted with the natural beauties which its neighbourhood presents ; of the Cathedral also he spoke in the most enraptured terms. LEAMINGTON SPA, JUNE 19.—Although the wea ther, during the greater part of the past week, has been wet and ungenial, we have had a considerable accession of company ; and on Monday evening the fine military band, which during the Summer Season enlivens the pro menade at the Royal Pump Rooms, commenced playing for the first time. On Thursday evening, the weather hav ing become more favourable, the Mall displayed a consi derable number of fashionable promenades,—evincing that, in spite of the unsettled weather, Leamington is the favoured resort of a distinguished assemblage of the haut-ton. The excavation of the ground, preparatory to the erection of the new Town Hall, has already com menced.—Leamington Courier. Do v E tt, JUNE 29.—An ivied his Majesty's packet Crusader, Captain Hamilton, from Calais, with the carriage of Lord Southwell and family, and a French Messenger. Arrived yesterday his Majesty's packet Salamander, with four carriages belonging to the Earl of Lonsdale, Mr. Bodington, Mr. Heathcote and Sons, Mr. Morgan, with a number of passengers. Amongst the latest arrivals from France were Lady Aldborough, Lady Puweracourt, Rev. Mr. Baring, Major and Captain Southwell, Mr. Medleycot, Sir R. Kenny, Mr. Vivian, M. Charittie, Colonel Hamilton, &o. We regret to say that Col. O'Donoughue, of the 47th Regiment, in Portsmouth garrison, met with an accident on Tuesday, when returning on horseback to his house, in Bellevue-terrace, when his horse took fright near the Lsndport-gate, and ran at full speed until he arrived half way down King :terrace. Workmen were here employed carting rubbish, and in endeavouring to avoid the cart, the horse stepped on the pavement and fell, throwing the rider with great violence nearly under the cart. The Colonel immediately freed himself from the stirrups and sprang on his legs, and was carried home, being too much shaken to be able to walk. We have great pleasure in adding, that in reply to our latest inquiries we learn Colonel O'Donoughue, although still in considerable pain, is likely to do well.—Portsmouth Herald. The genius of jobbing, or favouritism, or of both, seems to have taken possession of both extremities of the area of Carlton-place. At the one end a house is ac tually pulling down to make—as we are informed—s laundry to the house of one of the Ministers, besides a large space which is laying out as a private garden, for the same person ; while at the other end stables are erecting for an ex-Minister, on the very spot which, of all others, should not be encroached upon by such a de formity. We should not wonder if both these places were to become indictable nuisances. They, clearly, neither cf them formed any part of the original plan, and are of a nature to diminish the comfort of the inhabi- tants, besides destroying the elegance and ornament of the whole place. PROVINCIAL IWTELLIGENCR. Du Buw, JUNE 19.—The arrival of Miss Paton ani Mr. Wood, and their expected appearance this evening at the theatre, are the all-engrossing subject of conver sation through the town. Miss Paton arrive,' on Thurs. day, and took up her temporary abode at Greshatn's Hotel ; Mr. Wood came to town last night, and stays in private lodgings near the theatre. This was a very , ju dicious arrangement : if they came together, and, by residing in the same house, proved the accuracy o f d i ; statements in some of the Londo n journals, they wo u ld have experienced a very disagreeable reception. As it is, their refraining from contradicting those statements has excited a strong feeling against them, and it is supposed there will be " a row " at the theatre to-night. E very place is secured. We have authority to state that there is no foundation whatever in the report that Captain Smith, the princip a l in the late unfortunate duel with the lamented Mr. O'Grady, is likely to be tried by a military tribunal, the civil laws of this country being paramount to any other ; nor has he resigned his commission. And we are further authorised to state that Captain Smith is ready to sur. render himself for trial the moment it is deemed neces sary. His state of mind since the melancholy catastrophe has been, we arc assured, most desponding.—Dublin Mail. On Saturday morning, at five o'clock, a hostile meet ing took place at Merlin Park, about two miles from Galway, between Mr. D— D--- and Mr. J--- C--, both of that town. M r . D— L was attended be Captain P—, h. p. and Mr. C— by Mr. T— M—. After the preliminary arrangements bad been made, when the friends found it impossible to have the affair amicably settled, the parties fired, but, we are happy to say, without effect, although the balls passed close to the principals. It was remarked that neither gentlemen changed a muscle on the ground, but retained his natural colour. The gentlemen then on the ground interfered, and the parties shook hands. The affair ori ginated in an argument respecting the qullifications of a patriot. Mr. D— has become very popular in Gal way, in consequence of his opposition to the Vestry Laws, and for his assiduity as one of the Catholic Churchwardens during the last years of agitation. It is remarkable that he was attended by a Protestant gentle man, and Mr. C— by a Catholic. It is gratifying to learn that both parties have since become very warm friends.—Limerick Erening Post. A Jew was baptized by the Rev. Archibald Nisbett, in the Chapel of Ease, Albion-street. On the occasion an excellent sermon was preached from Ezekiel xxxvii. It appears that this Jew has been brought to a knowledge of the Christian faith, through the instrumentality of a Clergyman of the Secession Church of Kirkaldy.— Glasgow Chronicle. The hay harvest has partially commenced in this neighbourhood. The crops are exceeding heavy, and ready for the scythe : we only want tine weather.— Sheffield Courant. The scythe was last week npplied to several meadows in the neighbourhood of Lewes, and the grass fell heavily over it, but the weather proved the re.erse of favourable to hay-making.—Sussex Advertiser. We have still cold equinoxial weather; but for the last two days there has been but little rain, and the farmers are preparing to cut their grass, which, in fa vourable situations, will prove a heavy crop, clover in particular. The spring corns, as well as the wheats, on low damp soils, aro considerably, though not ir reparably, injured, for want of summer weather. More than double the usual quantity of rain has fallen during the last month.—Leeds Mercury. The poor haymakers who came up from the coun try to obtain work in the neighbourhood of the me tropolis, have suffered the most dreadful distress, owing to the state of the weather. In the neighbourhood of Acton, in Middlesex, two of the poor follows were found dead in a ditch. In the parish of Wilsilen, not far distant, two more were discovered in the same situation, and a fifth was found dead also somewhere about Hampstead. Upon opening the bodies, no sus tenance whatever was found in the stomachs, except ing some sorrel, upon which ptint the poor creatures had subsisted until death put a period to their suffer ings. The patience with which they endure their pri vations has increased the interest in their favour, and subscriptions have ken liberally entered into for their temporary relief. It is hoped, however, that a con tinuation of fine weather will bring them sufficient employment. CnteelNG BA RN ET, JUN r. 20.—Owing to the wet ness of the season, raid having continued fur three weeks almost without intermission, the farmers in this neighbourhood have not commenced cutting grass. The consequence has Leon that great numbers of people who come to this part, for the purpose of hay-making, have been in the greatest distress. A public sub scription has been entered into for their relief; and on Thursday bread and bacon was distributed to `,3sti individuals in the following proportions :—men (English and Irish) 1,933 ; women and children, 331; and to men, women, and children indiscriminately, 100. The bacon was given by J. Trotter, Esq. of Durham Park, weighing 73211b5. and cut into 2,411 pieces. The number of half-quartern loaves was 2,276. The wea ther having changed for the better, we are in hopes of immediately commencing operations.—County Chron. The fine chapel near Bedminster Bridge, erected and fitted up at the sole expense of John Hare, Esq. was opened for divine worship on Tuesday morning. The service commenced with singing, and after a psalm and a chapter from the scriptures had been read, a fervent prayer was offered up by the Rev. John Leif child. The Rev. Dr. Chalmers, of Glasgow, then de livered one of the most impressive and energetic dis courses that ever rivetted the attention of an audience, from Romans x. 4. " For Christ is the end of the law of righteousness to every one that believeth." A case of importance to housekeepers lately occurred at Taunton. The head of a family had died, and the servants were all presented with appropriate mourning. About a month a ft er, one of the servants gave notice of her intended departure from the service of her mistress, and, on being requested to give up her mourning, she refused. She was summoned before the magistrates, and compelled to deliver them up, on the ground that servants, unless they remain in the family for twel ve months after mourning has been given them, are n ot entitled to claim it as their own property. Sunday the Independent coach, while passing through Leek from London, with a full load of passengers and luggage, was overturned, owing to the coachman's rapuf driving. One gentleman (the editor of the Bolton Chronicle) had his thigh broken : he was taken to the Swan inn, where he became delirious. Skilful medical assistance was immediately rendered, and be is now doing well. Another person had his three ribs broken, and the back part of his head dreadfully lacerated. The coachman had his shoulder dislocated. All the outside passengers were more or less bruised, excepting a sailor, who leaped off the coach to the roof of a small building, and escaped unhurt.—Staffordshire Advertiser. :,. - 7"
