We are still unable to communicate to our 'Readers any deciiive intelligence from the North of Europe ; but we have no doubt that the next Mail will bring us an account of the commence ment of hostilities, unless the Emperor ALEX ANDER should . be induced to submit to the arrogant demands of BUONAPARTE. The ,!ast Paris Papers boast of the strength of the French armies, which they represent as ex ceeding those of Russia by seventy thousand men. but the accounts of both parties, relative to the amount of the respective armies, ought to be re ceived with great caution. • Every fresh account from Ireland tends to con firm the appgehensions we expressed, that the pro posed concession to the Roman Catholics would not produce the desired effect. So far from *hew ing any thing the a conciliatory disposition, the most violent language, and the most hostile reso lutions, have been adapted. They reject all nego c'ation ; they refuie any concession, and they demand our unqualified acquiescence in all their demands ! Saturday _night the Quarterly Report of the queen's Council, of the state of the KING, was depo'sited at the Council Office, Whitehall, agree- , Ehly to the Regency Act.

Yesterday's fine weather drew forth into title Park and Kensington Gardens, all ranks of people from every quarter of the town. Town has been thinned for some days past ; but no bad criterion of the proportion of quality in London might be - drawn by a survey of coronets in Hyde Park yes terday ; there were not less than 500 in the cavalcade at one time/ The following titled per sonages may be enumerated. , The Princess Castelcicala; Duchesses of Beaufalt, Dorset, and Bedford ; Marchionesses of Hertford, Lath, Wellesley, Donegal, Cornwallis, Lansdowne, Douglass, Headfort, and Salisbury; Countesses of Bridgewater, Jersey, Poivis., Oxford, Cmvper, Tankerville, Camden, Coventry, Sefton, Mansfield, Aylt sford, Pembroke, Mountnorris, Conyagham, Dartmouth, 1)a , nley, and Chohnondeley ; Ladies C.

Algerinc Outrage.—An Algerine squadron, con sisting of two frigates, two sloops, and two.brigs, has for some time past been eruizing in the Me diterranean. On, the 27th April the Haughty gun-brig, Lieut. I.l,lRvEy,proceeding with a con voy for Malta, fell in with, it, when the Algerine Commodore, after examining .the ships, ordered the delention-of a Greek vessel, laden with corn. On this order being notified to Lieut. HARVEY, he immediately went on board the Algerine, accom panied by his Surgeon, as interpreter, to remon strate against this unfriendly act, and to request the liberation of the vessel. • instead, however, of his request being complied with, he received. the most gross and abusive language ; his own ship was threatened to be seized; and, on refus ing to deliver up 'some papers belonging to the Greek vessel, he was knocked down, repeatedly kicii.ed;and his pockets rifled. He was instantly - . .obliged to depart without obtaining the..release of the vessel, and proceeded to Cagliari. A repre sentation of the affair has been made to Sir' E. Pellerw; hut there was no probability 'of redress being obtained from these ruffians. titustot htncTioN, For the following shetch. of the whole proceed ings,respecting this which has been al together one of the tnost outrageous and disgree ful events that ever took pl.ice in that city; we Are indebted to the.Brittol Journal ofSaturday last. 'Early on Monday morning our streets and public places. were placarded with hand-bills, ad dressed to " The Men of Bristol," signed " Henry Hunt," teeming with paragraphs couched in the following seditious and infiammatOry language : " Many days have not passed since BIGHT 'PERSONS were swung off at on ce , froth the 'Gal lows at Lancaster : of these Eight, the crime of Three was the taking of Potatoes by Force On the Highway. One of the three was a Woman. ‘-` Mn of Bristol—l beg you to'refiect hero. I beg you to look well to the crime for which these poor creatures—for which this poor Woman suffered death ! She, perhaps, had a starving fa mily . at home. The piteous loold i the streaming eyes of these poor children, pleaded nothing in her favour !—For forcibly taking some potatoes on the, highway;--.she siqffered Death. How many, alas ! how many such families would the single Sinecure of Mr. Bragge Bathurst maintain, not only in potatoes, but in all sorts of food and rai ment ! Yet while these things exist, a poor crea ture is put to death upon the galloWs foCforeibly taking potatoes on the 'highway ! God of iNfercy and of Justice look down upoh this land. " The whole of the people of England' have a right to blame Bristol for *hat they have suffer e'cl, and willsuffer, froth the sums of public money grasped by Bragge Bathur,„*. I confidently how ever hope-that your manly conduct upon the pre - sent occasion Will remove,from.you that deep dis grace. But, Gentlemen,lta must be indefatigable and RE'SOLt'TE in your" endeaVours; yolr .enelpies must hear in all your - words and; see in all your ac tions, that the fixed *purpose of your souls is not again to suffer an Election that` s h a ll ren d er the . name of Bristol a reproach throughout the Land. You have now ala opportnnity of - making Your vo'ces heard; and I trust that the sound of them will.be such us to carry Terror to the Hearts of of Monopolizers and Plunderers, and inflict Dismay upon the Heads of their base partizans, the Clubs." • These incendiary bills were also very assiduous ly disseminated among the lower orders of the people on the preceding Sabbath. We were pleas ed, in the first instance, to observe that their au thor seemed to have found it necessary to apply to a printer in a neighbouring city to get them executed ; they were, .however, soon after re printed here. In -addition to these bills, about nine o'clock Mr. H. mounted one of the pedestals of the Exchange, and after addressing himself to an immense crowd in similar language, he was escorted to the - Guildhall, the doors of which were opened - before the appointed time by the turbulent behaviour and battering provocations of Mr. IL's men, and the galleries were of course taken possession of by Mr. H.'s adherents.—Mr. Davis in the meantime had arrived at the White-- Lion Inn, from whence he proceeded to the Conn ed House, where the Mayor and Sheriffs were in attendaace, and who accompanied him to the Guildhall. And in this early stage of the elec tion, we think it necessary to state the following fact :—ln consequence of the noise and intimidat ing appearance of the mob, which on Saturday night and this morning were in the train of Mr. Hunt, two of our City Magistrates were in early attendance,swearing in additional constables,Which were deemed necessary not only for the protection of Mr. Davis's friends proceeding to the poll, but even for the protection of magistracy itself. 'ln proof of this, it was not Only 'with difficulty that the Mayor anti Sheriff's reached the Guildhall through the line formed by the constables, with their staves, on one side of the pavement, and the houses-on the other ; but the Mayor hiMself, pre paratory to leaving the' Council-house, observing the disturbance which already threatened the peace of the city, prOposed entering by a private way into the Guildhall. This was speedily over-ruled by the Gentlemen around - whk, were-Most properly jealous of the:Magistracy being thus ear ly afraid to exercise its authority; A considerable portion of this morning was con sumed in the forms prescribed at. the commence ment of elections, and the speeches of the two, Candidtes ; in the frequent addresses from Mr. Hunt to his friends ; and in the interchange of interrogatories which it -would. disgrace the co lumns of our Journal to repeat. Upon the ad journment of the poll by the Sheriff, -Mr.. Hunt proceeded again.to the Pedestal of the Exchange, and afterwards to the Talbot Tavern in Bath street, where -he has taken, up his quarteri.— During the whole of this morning skirmishes and cudgellings were constantly. taking place,. and vollics of stones frequently assailed the passing citizen. Notwithstanding these demonstrations of riot,• we could. not had that . any precautions or additional securities were taken against any breach of the peace which might ensue- Ac cordingly about eight o'clock in the evening, the White Lion Inn, where,Afr. Davis's Cointnittee' were sitting, became the wand object of attack by the mob ; and -the whole tiers of windows / above and below, the whole front 'of the B r iti s h Coffee-room, and ,an adjoining house,. were speedily broken in'with a tremendous crash ; and it was not till between twelve and -one in the morning that many'of -Mr. Davis's- friends could with safety quit the Inn, . . - The next morning hi consequence of the sug - - gestions of the City Magistrate to Mr. Davis's friends, that the- disturbances might be in some measure attributed to the Constables employed by them, anti in obedience to his recommendation, it was determined that they' should he discharged, a:id their colours taken from their hats as soon as the poll was closed, of which the Mayor had no tice ; and he was also requested to be provided witi a sufficient power to protect the peace of the city, which he was told would be entirely in his hands after five o'clock. . . The-military quartered here had of course re moved to a proper distance at the commencement of the election. With the city in this unprotected state (we say unprotected; for the only civil power which "was in employ was the common posse comitatus, which Was assembled in the Man- Wc4h-tillsel it iris not long ere the moat tiou's scenes ! of disturbance began. Up'oti iiie close of the V°ll, Mr. tlirnt preceded his followers on horseback; and headed them through the most public pails bf the city; among other places through which he led them teas the Back; where Mr. H., we understand, Pointed tb a pile, of faggots and'hurdles, making ii:3e iir appr, o 7 priate gestures and language too significant to be misunderstood. With this encouragement blud geons and sticks were gpeedily procured; Here we ar informed Mr. -11. took his leave of his friends.' but these po6r deluded\ creatures; alter their - passions -.rer_ inflamed by their leader'l speeches, and their hands armed with the weapons pointed out to them, were not again easily to be restrained; arid the different public-houses where. Mr. Davis's Committees bad assembled soon bi came the object of attack. After' another brandish at the White Lion in'n, and a furious, volley of swine discharged up tD:: . passage--"-To Clifton" was the signal of, the party ; and proceeding up 'Park-street, and •Berkeley-square, where some of Mr. Alderiata. Daniel's windows _were broken, . they reached Mortimer-House, the residence .of Mr. Davis,- .where that Gentleman was quietly reposing, after the fatigues of the day, in the bosom of his ami• able family. The windowS, window-frames, blinds, gates, shrubs, and railing in the front of his house speedily presented a deplorable scene of ruin and devastation. Happily, this was the only damage done ; and we are glad to say that the report m a Contemporary print of the house of Mr. Davis-"s venerable mother, at Whitehall, having been at tacked, -is unfounded.—During these proceedings several of Mr.. Davies friends waited upon the Mayor, to 'reipiire his assistance. His worship was at the Council-House, surrounded by his cone stables,. &c. 'but in' the very teeth of himself and officers, another volley was discharged at the de.. citadel' of justice, which. broke 'every window and dooi °outside of the building. The Clemency • - and forbearance of his worship here happily termi nated ; for through the repeated solicitations and urgent suvestions of . several respectable gentle men, who lead witnessed these scenes, made both at the . Mansion-huse and the Connell-house,' strong and efficient measults were at last resos L t,ed to, theatot Act wak fead,and civil power now rust 'appearing, inefficient, military aid was called in,. and abbul 40" of the rioters, secured and talcen to Bridewell. General Oswald, with a,detachment. of the Scotch Greys arrived at Clifton about . nine o'clock, and shortly after a company of the - East' Militia, who have been on duty. there "eVir since. The alacrity of Mr.D.'s friend; in informing the General of tbe-disturbanceseand the expedition with which the Veneral arrived on., the ;pot, are deserving of the highest eulogiums. Gabriel Goldney, and A. B. Deverell, Esirs. Ma— gistrates for the. County of 'Gloucester had in the . mean time been . Using every endeavour to restore quiet and order, and the Riot Act was read, by each of these gentlemen, in front'of Mk. Davis's houSe. , Thus ended the second d.ty's election, .eith the addition of numerous broken heads and limbs of too long a catalogue for us to enumerate, Regret has been expressed that the supporter;„ of Mr. Davis should have employed in his service , so great - a number of constables or clubmen, as they have been . &united' ; and which has Demi sidered as an infringement on the rights of election; , but we would appeal to those whO have been calm spectators . of this. election, Who have coolly beheld, (if an Englishman could do so) the. licentious' spirit which has been excited in the minds of the pn pulace, whether it would not have been utte.ly impossible for Mr:Davis or his friends to oier- . cise'their elective yights without a c,upernume.rary civil power., But meeting this ajegation in its fullest force, we have not heard, though'we have made industrious inquiries of any act of violence committed by these constables except such as . were really made on the two first evenings of the election in defence :of . their oWn lives. And were further argument necessary to defend this . measure, we would adduce the almost general. reprobation bestowed upon the friends of Mr. • Bathurst, in not having afforded sufficient protec- • tion to, that Gentleinaus person, the last time he was a , car.didate for this city ;. and tvc defy Mr. . h ant hitnSell to prove that ,beyond the precincts of Broad-steeet the interference of one Of these Men ever took - :We. have thus endeavoured to give a true and impartial relation of - the proceedings of the twG first days of this election ; the very appealance of the miirtary (for there has not hitherto been any occasion further to resort to them) has since kept the city, in peace. - With Mr. Davis's own-words, addressed to you at the close of this dolls poll; we wilitheilefore.cent chide : My adversary has pledged himself to keeo open the poll to.the latest legal period, by poll ing one man an hour. I hope he will do so, as each :ticceeding hour will produce a fresh triumph to the ,cause we_ support ; but I have little doubt long "before the arrival of that period, his poor deluded supporters' of themseves have turcied him with indignation out .of the city." On Saturday. morning, about seven o'clock, one of Mr,: Butts's PoWder-mills, at Hounslow, blew - up, with a most dreadful explosion. Two men, Who Were employed in is; Were at' a short distance at the time, were knocked down, and ex- Terienced the shocking effects, but,were not killed. heir bodies presented a most distressing spec-. tacle'; they were so mucji changed, and black, that they could scarcely be known. A Surgeon WO:4 sent for, who advised their being taken to St. George's Hospital, which was, accordingly done in the afternoon, in a caravan which is used far conveying powder to LoiAlon. Their groans and screams, when they were moved, were extremely distressing. The sentence of the Board of General Officers, rately assembled at Chelmsford; was on Thursday read at the head of the regiment of that garrison, by which sentence, as sanctioned by the Prince Itegerit, Captains Bigott, Thompson , Ford, Leigh, Thompson; and Licufenant and Paymaster Hun ter arc . to be removed from the Royal Surrey Mi litia. A General Court-martial is shortly to bi as sembled for the trial of another officer of the said: regiment. Detachments of the 15th, 63d, and 96th Four, are ordered to the Leeward Islands, as is a deta.l• ment . Of the 18th to tau:mica. 1
