FRENCH PAPERS. PA ars, Aua. 16.—The Monileur was published to-dey, (Monday, August 16), for the purpose of milking known the following Ordinance of the King, re-establishing the Censorship of the Journals—a measure which, in the present situa tion of the Ministry and of the Opposition, is considered as of great political importance : " ORDINANCE OF THE KING. 401.119, by the grace of GOD, King of France and Na. .yarre j: to all to whom these presents shall come, greeting., "Seeing Art. 4 of the Law of 17th March, 1822, conceived in the following terms : " If in the interval of the Sessions of the Chambers, serious circumstances should render : ineffectual for the moment the measures of guarantee and repression established, the laws of . 31st March 1820 and 26th July 1021 may be itrintediately put again in force, by virtue of an ordinance of the King debaied its Council, and countersigned by three Ministers. " This divposition shall cease by full right one mouth after the opening of the Session of the Chambers, if during this de. lay it has not Leen converted into a law. " Tt shall likewise cease by full right the day on which an Ordinance decreeing the diss3lutionof the Chamber of Depu• ties may be published, ",Considering that ,the jurisprudence of our Courts of Jug. ticc has lately admitted for the Journals an existence de jure, independent of their existence de fueto ; that this interpretation furnishes a sore and easy means of eluding the suspension and ouppresaion of the Journals.

Dispatches have thirtnorning;been received at this Office, addressed by Vice-Admiral Sir 11APut. NEA LE to JOHN► WILSON CHOKER, Esq. and dated in the Bay of Algiers, the 26th of July, reporting that the Differences between this Country and the Regency of Algiers were on that day satisfacto rily arranged, and that the Hostilities between the two Countries had accordingly ceased. ADAIIRALTY-OFFICE, AUGUST 16. Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale has transmitted toJohn Wil. son Croker, Esq., a letter from the Hon. Captain Spencer, of his Majesty's ship Naiad, of which the following is a copy : His Majesty's ship Naiad, Bay of Bona, May 24,1824. Sin—l have much satisfaction in acquainting you with the complete destruction of the Algerine brig of war, lately report ted to you, moored alongside the walls of the fortress of Bona, by the goats of theFaiad, under the command of Lieutenant Quin, first of this ship. If, In detailing this affair, I should trespass somewhat at length on your time, I trust, Sir, you will attribute it solely to my anxious desire that the conspicuous merit of the officers and men in the bOats and their gallant leader should have due credit, the whole plan of the operations having been formed, and all the details arranged, entirely by Lieutenant Qutn him self ; excepting that I objected to his proposal of bringing the brig out, knowing her situation to be such as would risk very many lives in the attempt. The boats left the Naiad at half.past I I last night, and being guided in th e ir a pp roac h b y t h e fights and fires in the different batteries, pulled for what proved to be a 10-gun brig of the largest class, whose position was of extraordinary strength, and far beyond what I had even imagined possible. She was moored head and stern, in addition to a chain cable fast on shore, in a bight within about eighty feet of the walls of the fortress, upon which I counted at least 40 pieces of cannon, some flanking her on either side, none farther off than short canis ter range, and several within her own length, amongst which latter were the 10 guns belonging to the brig her self, the enemy not unreasonably conceiving that, by placing them thzre, in preference to keeping them in her, all attempts at boarding must be rendered ineffectual by their fire. I have reason to believe the greater part of her crew were landed to work them, the whole of the Turkish garrison, of about 900 soldiers, having sufficient employment in managing the other guns, and keeping up a heavy fire of musketry from the em brasures and wall, almost overhanging her • decks. few sailors, left as look-outs, escaped to the shore, leaving the brig so lightened as to cause the greatest difficulty in ascending her sides. All these obstades, and the tremendous fire of cannon and small arms, kept up during the whole time the boats were in sight, which; from the illumination caused by the burning vessel was lengthened, served only as a means of showing how vain all resistance is when British seamen and marines are led by their officers in the way they were upon this occasion. Lieutenant Qnin did not leave the brig until she was in a com plete blaze in all parts, which ended in her partially blowing up, burning to the water's edge, and at last sinking in such a depth that not a particle of her is to be seen, her masts having fallen in the flames. No language that I am master of can convey to you, Sir, an rut/quote idea of the intrepidity of the attack, which could only be equalled by the cool courage displayed during the time necessary to distribute the tire in all parts of a vessel under such eircuntatences. The officers' names engaged in this service are subjoined; for, as all did their duty so nobly on this occasion, aid have on all thriller ones• given me such perfect satisfaction, I cannot in justice particularize. They unite in speaking in the highest terms of the silence and good conduct of' the men, who did not allow a whisper to be heard until the enemy's first round of grape, which they answered with three cheers. have great pleasure in adding, that notwithstanding so very ciiirereut a return might have been expected, I have only to re port to you a few men hurt by severe contusions, and none lcilltd, chiefly to be attributed to the masterly manner the business was conducted in; the whole of the cretlit of which is due to Lieutenant Quin, to whom I confided the entire arrange ment ; and I hope you will honour him with your recommen dation. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. C. SPENCER; Captain. Sir Harry Neale, Bart., G.C.B. Vice-Admiral, Rte. LIST OP ormens AND MIDSTIIPMEN EMPLOYED IN irnE BOATS. Lieut. Michael Quin ; Lieut.

Morning A most inhuman outrage was perpetrated upon the property of an honest and peaceable Man named Salnion, who had re. cently become tenant to the lands of Kilrateery, in the Barony of Leitrim, County of Galway, and on the : borders of this county. A valuable mare in tbal, and a line young heifer, were both ripped. open : their appearance in the morning was truly shocking. This man, who is a Protestant, became tenant to those lands entirely at the request of Mr. Reid, and was not therefore guilty of any ofilnice to the Rock laws, in out. bidding the previous occupier. ANTRIM ASSIZES, AUG. 13. Mult.9l:ll. Esther Ltnighridge and liegh Loughridge (a blind man) were indicted for, administering poison to Helen Loughridge, the wife of Hugh. Sarah Evans (a girl about 14), lived as servant in August, 1823, with Hue% Loughridge; he was . married ; his wife is now dead; her maiden flame was Hannah Houston ; she died in :august; witness's master, on Friday morning, was not at home; he came home on Friday evening; his wire and he were not on good terms; she Iliad• on the Monday after; deceased had bean out that day with the witness at the bog, footing turf; when witness and deceased ciune home, witness went out to gather a basket of potatoes ; when witness returned, deceased was eating oaten bread and butter; after she took two or three bites, she said it had a bad taste, and she would eat no more of it. Hugh (the prisoner) said she need not complain, as they had all eaten of it before she came out of the bog; she Said none had eaten of the same bread as she ; the old woman (the prisoner) went out; the deceased asked for a drink, and oot ; she went to spin, but soon turned to the fire, say ing she wished she had not eaten of the bread, for her heart was burning ; Hugh went out, and af terwar d s t h e o ld woman ' came in ; Hugh said to his.mother, upon her coming in, " Hun. !nth blames the bread you gave her for making her bad ;" pri soner said that was the thanks people got for giving their kind ness; Hannah said if it had been for her good she wo u ld n ot have got it, adding, that they had often striven for h er lif e , and. they hailgotteti it at last; she then lay down in bed, and said repeatedly from that till she died, they had poisoned her; the deceased was in her proper health before eating the bread ; she died at twilight. 31argaret APLister.—Knew the deceased; saw her shortly before she died. She was in bed, very ill, and moaning; heard from witness's father.in.law that she was ill, and therefore went to see her. Witness spoke to her, and said, " Hannah, you are verr bad !" She said she was. Her eyes were sh u t. Witness as :ed her if she knew who was speaking to her ? and she said that she did, and mentioned witness's name. She said, " I will not he, long with you now." She asked for drink, and got it from witness. Deceased said, when wit ness . gave her the drink, that " her heart was burning." tVitneas went to -milk her three cows, and, before she could get back, heard that she was dead, and found her dead when witness went back—could not get her mouth shut; anti when she went back about three in the morning, was greatly surprised to find froth at the mouth, and water running from the mouth and .nose ; she was 'added 'on Wednesday ; deceased's sister assisted to dress her. June Houston, sister to the deemse..d .—Did not sec her before she, died ; saw her six or seven hours after. Long gt. s brother came for her ; the corps was dark, and had four black i spots on the s ide of the neck ; froth was at her month s and water proceeded from her nose and mouth.in great quantities. Mrs. Jane Johnson—Lives in Ballyrnoney ; her husband is a surgeon ; recollects seeing prisoner, Hugh Loughridge, at their s a l ilp, on ttla t'ci boy d ; iy, vi l s 2d of with him, liimA,uogrtbetween the eariieof Irwin and lo' clock; a c ocl; prisoner c usked for some poison for the purpose of killing rati; had kn b o i w te n ar h sc iti l i de; put beforifl it g n v , q i u ri a a t r t i e te rs ci o p f o a is ti o ' i? o ; un to ce ok o a f white arsenic; In a book of having sold the poison ; witness recognized the buy who came with prisoner to the shop. Robert Irwin (about 12 years of ago—Know* Hugh Lough ridge;. witness led him to.ll4llttrioney from Folin tammy s about four miles ;, it was a little after breakfast; hit fprosoner's) cousin, Samuel Pinkerton, brought prisoner to witness's father's, and because they were good neighbours, witness took him to Ballymoney, to Dr. Johnson's ; Hugh Loughridge desired him to take hint there; be read the name over the shop-door; went into the shop ; prisoner got three-pence worth of poison, which he put into his pocket, and witness led him home to witness's father's. The poison, prisoner said, was to kill rats, who were destroying his butter. Prisoner stayed about two hours at witness's father's, who led him to prisoner's cousin's.. John Irwin corroborated his son, as to his leadin the pri soner away, and brin.;ing hi m back.' Prisoner stayed-about an hour; he said he had got three-pence. worth of poison for Air. Brice, of the KnoAagh; witness asked if it was to kill vermin, and prisoner said Mr. Brice said so. Prisoner said his wife was donsy, or a little tender; witness asked if she was confined ? prisoner replied she was in the turf bog. Prisoner said It run in his mind she would not lite long to the fore, and that when she died he would send for her relations to give her a decent funeral. He hatra piece of cloth for a gown, which lie said was fur his servant girl, but desired witness to keep it secret, as - between the servant and his wifii there was a little jealousy. A few days after, heard Hannah Loughridge was dead. Witness is a relation of deceased. John APflowan, surgeon and physician to the gaol.—Has heard the evidence.; the symptoms were the same as produced by acrid poison or arsenic, 'but the same symptoms might arise from other causes. William Houston, father to the deceased, was considerably affected. He said there had been no inquest, nor any medical men called in ; he did not imagine any thing about poison ; though it was whispered at the funeral, witness did not think the prisoner could be so barbarous. he Jury, after due deliberation, and without leaving the box, returned a verdict, findin g both he prisoners G u ilty. - The prisoners were then placed at the front of the bar ; the Clerk of the Crown in the usual term; announced their convic tion, and demanded if they had any thing to say why sentence of death should not be awarded against them according to law. Hugh Loughridge, the prisoner, in a firm tone of vo i ce ad dressed his Lordship:—" I have to say, my Lord, I am not guilty; by the reason that when I went to Ballymoney for the arsenic, it was for Mr. Brice, and no my return I gave it to his servant, as I considered. When I was charged with. the mur der of my wife, I went to 111 r. Bric e , b ut h e d en i ed having re ' ceived the poison Mesiring me to point out the person [had given it to, but I told hint I could not, because I was blind. The girl makes evidence that she returned front the bog with the deceas ed ; this is wrong, for if she had been present, she would have seen that I ate as much of the !trend as the deceased. We, the prisoners, shall submit to any judgment passed on us, but we are accused by these people^nd are not guilty." The female prisoner, a hoary old woman, upwards of 00 yeirs old, did not evineeanuch feeling on the awful occasion, but asserted her innocence, saying she knew no thi ng of the poison. His Lordship then addressed the pawners, and during the delivering of it, was so deeply affected as to be almost over powered by hi s feelings. 'There did not appear to be any individual in the crowded Court who was not deeply moved ou the awful occasion. They were sentenced to die on Monday. On Saturday night last, a house on hloynoe, near Scarriff, the property o f C ounse l lor H i nchy, was set on fire and totally consumed. A Roc/cite notice, of which we subjoin a copy, was sent through the Scarritf Yost-office, to John O'Callaghan, " NOTICE.--Sir ,—I received several complaint s at t h e a United Office, of herdsman of yours of the name of Hal loran, which you have k e pt on the l a nds of Bcarritr—that in famous rascal which is a disgrace to that part of the country, and to your family.

PROPOSED JUNCTION • OF THE • ENGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS BY A SHIP CANAL- . . . , We have already noticed the plan for this most important measure which would be produc tive of incalculable advantage to the commercial interests of the country l as well as to the sub scribers. The late: Mr. RENNIE, whose abilities and exprience -as a Civil Engineer justly raised his character to the highest rank in his profes sion, was employed to make a survey as to the practicability of the scheme, and his Report was of the most favourable description. All the do cuments on the subject left by that' ingenious Artist have been submitted to the inspection of Mr. TELFORD, who justly succeeds to the re putation of Mr. RENNIE; and the Committee ap pointed at a General Meeting, held at the, Lon don Tavern, llishopsgate-street, on the 9th of last June, have deemed it necessary to employ Mr.TELFoun to make another Survey, that nothing may be wanting to illustrate and to give facility to this important measure. According to the present estimation, if the plan should obtain the sanction of Parliament, of Which there can - be no doubt, as it is a measure of such vast National Utility, the subscribers, when it is carried into effect, will derive more than sixteen and a half per cent. We have before given an outline of the Plan, of which a PitosencTus- has been issued, but as we have not, at present, room for that ProspecinS, we subjoin Mr. Tct.rottn's Report, which ap pears to be of so satisfactory a nature, that we cannot doubt that this magnificent project will receive the sanction of the Legislature,and that we shall see the expectations of the subscribers ful filled,•and the commercial prosperity of.this great EmPire proportionably augmented, to the come. Tient advantage of the whole civilized world. ;111t. TELFORD'S REPORT. Agreeably to the Committee's instructions, dated the 13th ult.. proceeded to the summit of the country through which the intended Canal would pass.; and, after hav ing carefully examined the districts adjacent to and con. netted with this summit, I proceeded down the valley of the Axe to the sea-shore at Seaton and Beer, on the English Channel. I next examined the several extensive collateral valleys, which descend towards that of the Axe and the Eng. lisp Channel. I afterwards Continence(' it perambulation on the northern side of the Chard summit, and made a general inspection of the Rivers Parret and Tone, to the shores of the Bristol Channel. In performing this General Survey, I derived much advan. tage from levels, which, although taken by 3lr. Green for a Canal of a very different Aescription, yet enabled me to aster. take numerous relative points in various and very distant parts of the country. By other suggestions from respectable quarter. I was induced to extend my inspection over a district, not hitherto explored with a view of Inland Navigation; I mean that which is situated on the western side of the Quantoch Hills, and termi nates on the shore of the Bristol Channel at and. adjacent to Watchet. Until the Surveys I have directed to be made are completed, I cannot enter into details respecting the precise li nes w hi c h i t will be most ad v i sa bl e t o a d o pt, or the amount of expence which will be incurred; but, as a General Preliminary Report, I am enabled to state, that in regard to the practicability of construct. ing a safe and commodious Canal Navigation between the En glish and I.liitol Channels, capable of admitting ships o f 120 to NO tons burthen ' I ant convinced, from experience in sirni. lar cases, that no obstacles exist but what may, at a compa. rately moderate expense, be overcome. In a general point of view, the chief objects to be attended to are, 1. The crossing of the summit of the country. 2. The procuring . upon the summit level a plentiful supply of water. 3. The direction which the general line of Canal shall take from the summit to the EngliA Channel, and its termination there. 4. The best direction to be taken from the northern extremity of the eurnmt to the Bristol Channel. 1. As respects the summit level, the pass immediately east of the town of Chard in Somersetshire, is decidedly the most advisable, and the lowest putt of that pass should, of course, be taken. By the survey formerly made, the summit l eve l i s on l y two and a half miles in length, but, after carefully examini ng the country, I am of opi n i on , that this summit level should be extended much further each way from Chard. " Until correct levels have been taken,. I cannot determine the precise length ; but from the points ascertained by Mr. Green'a levels, I think it may be made at least ten 'miles. This, with judicious mangernent, would itself be an extensive reservoir. 2. This very considerable length of summit level, embraces a great range of the high land s w hi c h occupy t h e country to the westeard, which, being intersected by sundry considerable collateral valleys, affords ample opportunities of supplying it with water fur the purposes of lockage, &c. in both directions ; the waters of the %Vainbrook Stream, and these of the exten sive Yarty Valley, may be brought in from the westward ; and the flood waters of the upper part of the River Axe may be brought in from the eastward; all into the summit level. Ad ditional supplies of water may be procured from other sources, say the Coly Valley anti River, which,. although they cannot, with convemenc be brought int o t h e summit level, will be extremely useful in providing for evaporation and leakage, as well as the increased consumption by the lower lockage. 3. From the southern extremity of the summit level,' the Canal will descend by lockage .properly distributed along the western side of the River Axe, and tile Village of Seaton to north-east angle of Beer Harbour, into which the. Canal will descend by means of locks placed in the mass of rocky cliff:e, which may be conveniently excavated for this purpose, and to form extensive protecting anti landing piers. By keeping on the western side of Seaton village, its connec tion with the beach is left uninterrupted, the large mass of loose shingle beach, and also the steep crumbli ig manly banks along the shore, are avoided, and the Canal i duced at once into the north-east angle of the harbour to be formed at Beer, leaving the rest of the harbour, and the whole of the Seaton bay, for the purposes of a roadstead. These cliffs at Beer will be found to be very advantageous, by afftirding a firm foundation for locks, producing materials for backing them, and for the limiting or body of the protecting piers and necessary wharf walls ; while the harder facing stone can be brought by sea. It is well known that Beer harbour is already effectually pro. tected from the most prevalent winds, and from the others, winch are to the southward of either east or west, it mey, by artificial . piers, b e ma d e as secure as any harbour into which the title 11 freely admitted; while the depth of water to be ob tained is only limited by the amount of expense it !nay be judged advisable to incur; what I shall have in view in form ing the plan and estimate, will be to obtain twenty feet of water within the pier -heads at low water of a spring tide. The access to the harbour is upon clear ground, and there is no prospect of its being incommoded by mud, sand, or shingle. Upon the whole it appears that Beer harbour is a very suitable place for the termination of a Ship Canal, and.as an asylum for ships navigating the English Channel. 4. To the northward of the town of Chard, instead of imme diately commencing lockage, and carrying the Canal down the bottom of the valley, and passing across the soft lands which compose the alluvial banks of the River Parret, and which unavoidably leads the line into a very circuitous. direction by the town of Langport ; the extension of the summit level, which has been here referred to, preserves it in the high lands by Broadway and Bickenhall, towards Ilenlade Lime Quarries; and near this place, in whatever direction the line may after wards proceed, the lockage must commence. If, after proper surveys have been made, it proves most ad. visible to carry the Canal by Bridgewater to the lower pert of the River Parret, it will only remain to choose the most direct line to and cross the lower parts of the Tone Valley, end by the town of Bridgewater to the deep Channel at the Combwich Reach. But, if after full investigation, the Port of \Vatchet is found to be the most advantageous entrance into the Bristol Channel, the Canal line w ou ld probably pass near to Th ur lb ear, and cross the valley of th e Tone between Taunton and Wellinigton; and from thence pass either to the east or west of Sandhi Park, the seat of Sir Thomas Lethbridge, Bart. and after crossing a rill of high land at so me distance to the nort h o f Sandhill Pa.rk proceeded down a rich valley to the P or t o f W atchet. , The Port-of Watchet possesses many natural advantages, and there does not appear to be any obstacles but what may be remedied by urtiticial means. It is very accessible to and from a part of the Bristol Channel, which is without all the extensive sand banks ; and vessels have, of course. the advantage of being immediately in the tid e - wa y. Th e s h ore presents excel lent foundations, also materials for extensive piers, and wet and dry docks, while the adjacent country produces an ample sup ply of water for lockage and other purposes—and the whole Leis; the property of a Nobleman, who Is friendly to the Scheme, and to national improvements in general, every neces sary facility would be afforded. . When the motleys I have directed to be made have been . completed, a full and impartial comparison will he made be tweenOlt i this port and t e mouth of the River Parret ; but it s beyond a doubt tha o p er access w i t h t h e B r i sto l Ch anne l eau be obtained at one o those places.
