Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Leghorn, dated 6th May : " We beg to transmit the annexed Extracts of Letters from Alexandria, transmitted to us by one of our neighbours. _ " ALEXANDRIA, MARCH 27.--About two hours ago, four Algerine frigates and two brigs of war have just anchored in this port from Constanti nople; they were off the port yesterday after noon,-but could not get in for a contrary wind.— Yesterday morning we dispatched two English vessels for Liverpool, and about two o'clock, P.M. they were seen within a mile of the Squadron, but as there was a little fog they had passed un. noticed, to our great satisfaction. " MAR= 29.—The above mentioned Algerine frigates, when they entered the harbour, carried the flag of Tunis, and this morning one of them has hoisted that of Algiers, and has taken a list of all the English vessels in port, and it is generally believed there is still an Algerine frigate out, as they have been communicating to one another with signals, and a little ago two other frigates and a schooner under the Tunisian flag have entered this harbour, and two or three more still keep out: the English Captains are rather frightened to see these operations going on, especially as there is no English ship of war to convey them, and not less than 15 of them loading at present for England. However, our Consul has given a report of this to the Admiral, and we hope now to have soon ships of war to protect the trade in this quarter." It is understood that an Order will be issued in a few days to detain and bring into port all Algerine ships and vessels. We have received the Paris Papers of Tues day and the Etoile of Wednesday, extracts from which will be found in another column. FRENCH FUNDS.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 12th.instant states, that the Austrian Chancellor, Prince MErrcrsucti, was to take a journey to Tigernsee and to the Rhine, and thence to Bohemia, and that the Russian Senator TATISCHOFF would fol low the Prince. This was considered as a new proof that the Russian Cabinet perfectly agreed in all the views of the Austrian Court. Prince ITALFoLn, the Russian Ambassador, was also going to Bohemia. Dispatches from the Foreign Office, we under stand, were forwarded to Falmouth on Wednes day night, in answer to the important communi cations last received, with orders for a packet to sail with them to Lisbon immediately. It is said that Ministers would not approve of Lord BERES.. FO RD'S taking the command of Portuguese troops, under existing circumstances, lest it might com promise this country ; but that the Noble Lord's mediation, from his influence, would be consi. dered as well applied, and likely to be most use ful. We shall be sorry if Ministers have come to the determination above stated. France" and a French Army command all Spain and its army, and its Commander-in-Chief, and yet the French Governments, so far from being com- promised, have been eulogized even in the British Parliament and by the British Mini stry, for the temper and moderation of their proceedings, and for the service which their occupation of Spain renders' to the Spanish it from scenes o f c i v il blood shed a t nation, , n b d y d p e r v e a s s e t r a vil ti tg on. Why any fears should be entertained of compromising this country, there forefore,by merely permitting an individual British in P or t uga l, an army Portuguese,con appears to us to be ssuisbtnegctwthoollycommand, of somewhat inexplicable, and to be symptomatic of a degree of timidity and irresolution which, we repeat, we cannot believe to have been evinced by the present administration. Besides, there ate occasions on which the true interests of a country may be compromised by that very excess of caution which seeks to avoid giving offence to powerful rivals. We could say much more on this delicate subject than it would be prudent at present, perhaps, to utter. DUTCH MAIL. By the Dutch Mail we have received from the Hague the intelligence, that the Government of the Netherlands has communicated to the Second Chamber of the States General a Treaty conclud ed with Great Britain, for the mutual regulation of the Commerce of England and the Nether lands with the East Indies, &c.--The following are some of the principal articles of the Treaty : Art. 1. The High Contracting Parties engage to place the trade of the subjects of each other in their respective posses sions in the Indian Archipelago, and on the Continent of India and Ceylon, on the same footing as the most favoured nations. 2. The Subjects and Ships of one Nation shall pay.no Duties of importation and Exportation to and from the ports of the other in the Eastern Seas, higher than double the amount of those imposed on the Subjects and Ships of the Nation to whom the port belongs. With respect to articles on which no duty is laid when they are imported and exported by the subjects, or in the Vessels of the Nation to which the port belongs, the duties to be imposed on the subjects of the other, shall in no ease exceed Six per Cent. 6. It is agreed that orders shall be given by both Govern ments to their officers and agents in the. East Indies not to esta blish any new factory on any of the eastern Islands without the previous permission of their respective Governments in Europe. 7. From the stipulations in Articles 1, 9, 3, and 4, the Ma lacca Islands, and especially Amboyna, Banda, and Ternati, with their immediate dependencies, are excepted, till such - time as the Governments of the Netherlands shall think fit to desist from the monopoly of the spice trade. 8. His Majesty the King of the Netherlands cedes to his Majesty the King of Great Britain all his Settlements on the Continent of India, and renounces all rights and privileges which have been enjoyed or claimed on account of these Settle ments. 9. The factory of Fort Marlborough, and all the posses sions of Great Britain in the Island of Sumatra, are hereby ceded to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, and the King of Great Britain engages that no British Factory shall be established in that Island, nor any treaty concluded under the British authority, with any of the native Princes, Chiefs, or States in the said Island. 10. The town and fortress of Madella are hereby ceded to his Majesty the King of Great Britain, and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands engages for himself and his subjects never to establish a factory in any part of the Peninsula of Malacca, or to conclude treaties with any of the native Provinces of States in that Peninsula. In another page we have inserted the Procla. mation of the King of PORTUGAL (the purport of which we stated yesterday), pardoning his son for his excess of zeal in assembling the armed force and publish ing the mutinous and revolu tionary Proclamations inserted by us, in which he treats his Lord and Sovereign like an ideot, unworthy of sitting on hi m and, in fact, declares the throne. If any positi on ca n he considered humiliating, it is the on e i n w hi c h J OIIN VI. was placed when he signed the Proclamation in ques , pardoning a rebelli ous son w h o h a d a imed at ' is throne (many p ersons t hi n k even a t his t l i i o f e l and who had kept hi m a c l ose prisoner for thirty-six hours. Moreover, he is compelled to epithets of regard an d es t eem on th e In fante and his mother, for e i g n to his heart, for bestow such they roust appear to those well acquainted with the Chronique Scandaleuse of the Portu guese Court, or evert with that of the Brazils, or who remember the number of years the KING has been separated from his Spanish consort. To close the' matter, the numerous victims now crowding the prisons (so numerous that the first influx was, we understand, sent off to the dun geons of Peniche, in order to make room for the second), are ordered to be tried in a summary manner, by a special commission, for a pretended crime the INFANTE has got up for the purpose of answering his own ambitious and nefarious ends. The Courts of Justice and the Special Commission would have plenty to do, for out of the 7 or 800 persons confined and accused of Freemasonry, or, in other words, of conspiring against the KING, 13 are Noblemen, and 100 Military Officers, from the rank of Ensigns to Generals. According to the PRINCE'S ideas, Portugal, to be happy, must not contain a single man of liberal ideas. What effect this strange affair may produce on the provinces remains to be seen. A letter received from Oporto, dated the tith, mentions that the Military Governor, as soon as the news arrived, issued a Proclamation to the troops, inviting them to remain quiet, and wait the arrival of the orders of the INFANTE, without saying any thing of th e K ING . The Civil Governor was perfectly silent, and these two circumstances taken together, evidently show that th e f o rmer was in the secret, and prepared beforehand to second the efforts of the INFANTE in Lisbon. This Military Governor is MANUELPAMPLONACARNE I RORANGEL,and,what is A s L in li g u t A; singular enough, tine tiie very m oment , was a brother-i n _l aw o f C oun t p pri soner in Lisbon. The same letter adds, that as soon as the news of what had taken place in Lisbon arrived, and the Military Governor's Proclamation appeared, several of the Provincial Noblemen, pledged to the Queen's cause, Mu urinated their houses:--a spectacle beheld with the utmost astonishment and disgust by the other inhabitants. The confusion prevailing in the town was great, and the aspect of affairs so gloorny,that numbers of persons of property were emigrating. The Lusitania, an English vessel, had instantly the whole of her cabin engaged. Mat ters were in sounsettled a,stateat the above date, to admit of any opinion 'being formed as to the result of the intended conspiracy against the KING by the QUEEN and her son. That portion of Portugal, north of the Duero, is inhabited by a distinct race from the other, and is besides ex tremely populous. The Province of Minho, for example, contains one third of the population of the whole kingdom, and for many reaso►as the people are greatly disgusted with the intrigues of the Court, and the disgraceful scenes which have lately occurred in their country. They are besides materially affected by' the present state of Brazil, with which country they have always had a great intercourse. The coarse hats of Braga, the linens of Minho, and the hardware of Guimaraes, &c. are all consumed in Brazil.— Cut off from their usual vent for the produce of their industry, they are naturally in a restless and disaffected state, throwing the blame of every thing on the Government. At such a moment, if they are roused to espouse the K I NG'S cause, and any commotion breaks out, the consequences may lie serious—bloodshed, in fact, must follow, as it is evident that the intention of the IN FANTE and his party was to rid the country of all persons of liberal ideas. The . people of the North have nothing to dread from the armed force in the Capital, and should a dexterous leader, or, in fact, any popular man appear among them at this critical moment, there is no saying what may happen. [From the Exeter Flying Post, May 19, 1823.1 " SECOND EnurtoN.—We stop the Press to give the following Extract of a Letter, received by a respectable Merchant in this City, from his Brother in Oporto : " OPORTO, MAY 4.—Business is at present extremely flat; there is, in fact, nothing doing, for the natives are afraid of a disturbance again. At Lisbon, on the 30th April, the Infante ordered a company of soldiers to surround the Palace, and suffer no one to enter. He then issued several Proclaims- tions, calling on the People Co " Sacrifice those, who, if they had it in their power, would sacrifice them !" and stating, " Tt was through the Freemasons that the Government was not better conducted." Lord lierresford and Sir E. Thornton applied for entrance at the Palace, and were refu►ed ; the whole of the Ambassadors then went in a body to the Palace, and were ad mitted ; the King had not the slightest knowledge of what was going forward, he sent for Miguel,—as soon as he arrived, the troops were dismissed ; and Sir E. Thornton said, he was commanded by the King of England to offer every assistance which the King of Portugal may require to support his power. This declaration completely settled the business— the troops quietly returned to their quarters, and the City was tranquil when the post left. Some of the Ministers are appre hended—others have fled. Who the new Ministers will be is not yet known—all parties illuminated here last night." The KING and QUEEN of the SANDWICH ISLANDS. I These Illustrious Foreigners were not pre sented at Court yesterday, as had been anticipated, their recent arrival in this country had not afforded sufficient time to pro vide them with a proper dress and equipage.—Arrangements are, however, in progress, under the direction of the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Mr. Secretary PEEL, for this purpose, and no doubt in a few days they will be presented to his MA JESTY in due form. They have received several invita tions from Noblemen and private individuals, but these have been declined until they have an opportunity of paying their respects to his Majesty, whose countenance and protection they have journeyed hither to solicit. They are extremely anxious to view the curiosities of this great metro ! )olis, but for the same reasons have refrained from appearing in public. The King is a man of pleasing countenance and gentlemanly deportment ; he is tall and well formed, and is dressed in European costume. The Queen is a large woman, and appears fond of dress, which she changes three or four times a day. Her Majesty is somewhat indisposed, and frequently retires to rest during the day; she and her sister smoke their segars with as much gout as some of our modern, dandies, and constantly amuse themselves in playing cards. A gratifying treat was yesterday afforded them by the performances of the celebrated Mt. Punch and his family, whose merits they ac knowledged by an ample reward ; they were also highly de lighted by an exhibition of the Fantoccini. DIR. BATTIER AND SIR HENRY lIARDINGE. We are authorised by one of the parties to state, that Mr. Battier sent a message to Sir H. Hardinge on Sunday, requiring him to state that he did not in his lately pub lished statement attribute to Mr. B. falsehood, but merely mis information. Sir H. refused any explanation on this point. Mr. Battier's friend then demanded a meeting for Mr. Battier. --This was also refused, and refused with insulting language, Sir 11. H. desiring Mr. Battier's friend to take down in that " he, Sir Henry, considered Mr. Battier guilty of an infa. mous calumny ; that he looked upon him as a calumniator, and unworthy of his notice." He added, verbally, that he would meet any Gentleman who would come forward for Mr. Battier; but that he would net meet Mr. Battier. On Tuesday, at about half-past four o'clock, Mr. Battier met Sir H. Hardinge in the neighbourhood of Westminster, and going up to him, asked if he had really sent the insulting answer to his message as above described, and if he persisted in it as his final reply ? To both these questions Sir H. Hardinge replied " Yes." Mr. Battier then told him, that "he had sent a gentlemanlike message, and that Sir Henry Hardinge's answer had been most ungentlemanlike ; that Mr. Battier would not commit actual violence upon him, but that Sir H. H. might consider himself horsewhipped (at the same time shaking his whip over Sir 11. Hardinge's shoulders), and that Sir H. H. knew where to find him.—Sir H. Hardie ge walked off, and did not, as stated in one of the Morning Papers, offer his card.—(Jtforning Chronicle, May 21.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING, 1824.

PA ass, MAY 18.—A person who has just re ceived a letter from Greece, from a certain cor respondent worthy of credit, has had the com plaisance to communicate to us the following particulars - : " M. Edward Blaquiere has just brought to the Greek Congress the sum of 50,0001. sterling, proceeding from the sale of the first part of the Greek loan, opened at London. " It is-false that Colocotroni has been brought to trial, as the Austrian Observer pretends. lie was living in retirement at Tripolizza like 'a. private person.

It seems that- the Journal des Debuts has said quite enough to justify the opinion that the Infant Don Miguel acted con trary to the will of the Ring—a circumstance on which a Monarchical Journal should not be afraid to give a hasty judgment ; but even if this fact should not be established, does not the Prince's Proclamation contain these words—" will complete the great work I have began, by destroying the pestilential sect of Freemasons. Perish the infamous Freemasons !" It is there fore an extermination en masse which is here re solved' on. Now, we ask, what reasons can be given for such a terrible resolution ; or can there be two modes of appreciating it ? MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
