We should like to see the Government more respected, were it only to teach the bids gentry that they must not hope to intimidate it by their combinations, to escape from their fair share of taxation. Every attempt on the part of any section of the three kingdoms to frighten the Government into partial measures, ought to rally round the Government the rest of the country. How can a Government do its duty honestly and fearlessly , if a combination like that of the Irish gentry i, viewed with apathy by those who would be suffer.

In the course of ten days (from the 9th to the 20th inst.) this tri bunal, which transacts the judicial business of seven departments, sat and decided on 857 cases of elec-, toral claims or complaints. In 6.58 of these cases its decisions were in favour of the claimants; so that electors to that great amount would have been de prived of the opportunity of exercising their civic rights on an occasion interesting to the welfare, if riot decisive of the fate, of their country, but fee the extraordinary example of activity and zeal which the Judges thus displayed. In order that some of our readers who may not have paid attention to the French electoral laws may un derstand the urgency and importance of the dutie thus devolved upon the Royal Courts, it may be useful to state the changes introduced by an act of the last Ministry. Formerly, if proprietors entitled to political suffrages were aggrieved, either by seeing their own names excluded from the electoral lists, when their right to vote was established by their financial census, or by seeing those of others occu• pying their place, who had not attained the requisite age, or did not pay the requisite contributions, they could only appeal from the Prefect, or the Council of Prefecture, to the Council of State, or to the Chamber of Deputies. Formerly, too, no fixed period was appointed for making out the lists of per sons entitled to be members of the electoral colleges. By an admirable law which passed under the Mar-1 " From the My of Torre-Chica, June 14. • " The fleet cast anchor yesterday, between three and six of the afternoon, and to-day by nine the larding was effected,—that is to say, the shore was free. The French trg was hoisted on the small tower, and the Bedouins sought for security in flight, for they found that the woods and ravines behind which they had concealed themselves to op pose our soldiers were insufficient to attain their oljeet. 'Yesterday morning at half-past four we descried the coast of Africa ; we were then at about seven leagues and a half north-east of Algiers, whose form appeared to us a spherical triangle at seven o'clock, when we perceived the town very distinctly. " At a quarter to seven the Admiral gave orders to dear the ships for action. At first we expected to inert with great resistance. " A proclamation of the Commander-in-Chief, published the Sth, before Majorca, had announced that immense numbers of Arabs, accompanied by camels, which they intended to make use of as a •pc cies of ramparts, were ready to oppose us on the short ; it had also been mid that the bay of Torres Chica was covered with cannon. It was therefore very natural that we should prepare for action. The Admiral approached the land towards two o'clock, leaving the convoy with the reserve at sea, as well as the second squadron. He anchored under the` fire of the White Battery, all the vessels were to. leeward of him, forming a line, and ready to com mence firing. But it was riot required. The fort - tired five or six shots and two or three bombs, one of the later buret over the Bre:law, and wounded ; a few men. After that, all was done for the day. " The most important part of the affair was to ar rive at the anchorage, and to dispose all for landing. The weather was fine ; we took advantage of it, and at seven in the evening the army and first division of the convoy, which left Palma on the 10th, were at anchor in an excellent bay, very secure, and also favourable to the operation, without which no other is possible. On arriving in the bay we beheld a most mag nificent spectacle; all the ships of war at. anclsor had hoisted their white flags, and others of different colours, on which are written the numbers and their names. ROMANTIC STORY. The Rev. It. \Varner, in his " Literary Re collections," relates a short, but romantic story respecting a Miss Nancy Bere. This young lady was . , at an early age, adopted by Mr. Hack man and his lady, under the following circum stances :—" Her (Mrs. H.'s) garden, in which alone she found particular pleasure, stood in need, as is usual in the spring season, of an active weeder ; and John the footman was despatched to the poor-house, to select a little pauper girl, qualified for the performance of this necessary labour. He executed his commission in a trice brought back a diminutive female of eight of nine years of age ; pointed out the humble task' in which she was to employ herself, and left het to her work. The child, alone amid the flowers, began to ' warble her native wood-notes wild,' its tones of more than common sweetness. Mrs. Hackman's chamber-window happened to be thrown up : she heard the little weeder's solitary song ; was struck with the rich melody of her voice, and inquired from whom it proceeded. Nancy Bere, from the 'poor-house,' was the answer. By Mrs. Hack man's order, the songstress was immediately brought to' the lady's apartment ; who became so pleased, at this first interview, with her naivete, intelligence, and apparently amiable disposition, that she determined to remove the warbling Nancy from the workhouse, and attach her to her own kitchen establishment. The little maiden, however, was too good and attractive to be permitted to remain long in the subordinate condition of escullion's deputy. Mrs. Hackman soon preferred her to the office of lady's maid ; and, to qualify her the better for this attend ance on her person, had her carefully instructed in all the elementary branches of education. The intimate intercourse that now subsisted between the patroness and her protege quickly ripened into the warmest affection on the one part, and the most grateful attachment on the other. Nancy Bere was attractively lovely ; and still more irresistible, from an uncommon sweetness of temper, gentleness of disposition, and femi nine softness of character : and Mrs. Hackman, whose regard for her daily increased, proposed, ,at length, to her complying husband, that they should adopt the pauper orphan as their own daughter. From the moment of the execution of this plan, every possible attenti on was pa id t o the education of Miss Bere ; and, I presume, with the best success, as I have always under stood that she became a highly-accomplished young lady. Her humility and modesty, how, ever, never forsook her ; and ' her exaltation in Mr. Hackman's family seemed only to strengthen her gratitude to her partial and generous belle- 4 tignac Admin,stration, this state of things was reme died, and greater security given to the rights of the electors. In that law it was enacted that the elec- tonal lists should be made up annually at a certain time; that they should be published over the de partments interested in the names which they con tained; that a certain time should be allowed for rectifying them either in point of omissions or wrong insertions; and that if the Prefect refused to comply with the demands of the parties, they should be entitled to appeal to the Royal Courts for an authority to compel the legal rectification. That the lists might be more effectually purified, third parties were permitted to interfere between the Prefect and those whom he chose to return as voters, in order to prove the insufficiency of their titles if they did not possess the requisite qualifies- We prepared all night for the landing, and this morning by three o'clock two brigades were already on shore. The cannonade began at five o'clock, and lasted till about nine. During that time much was done. The Algerines began to resist; a ba'tte'ry that defended the coast at last commenced its tire, and kept it up sharply.for three hours; for we had 100 men killed or wounded before we be: came masters of the guns. The battery was op posed by infantry, by the brigs P Alerte and P Acteon, and the corvette /a Itayonnaire. The steamers Nogeur, le Sphinx, and to Rapide, kept up a fire on the coast, while the first landing was effecting. Our, soldiers behaved very bravely on taking the battery, and in an engavement which took place with the Bedouins towards eight o'clock. They met the enemy in a ravine where he had placed himself in ambuscade, and pursued him very warmly ; it was indeed quire delightful to see the Arabi a n horsemen spur their horses, and fly to the plain at full gallop. Their flight animated our sharp-shooters, and they ran after them as if they had been mounted on Arabian steeds. tion. The Royal Courts were appointed the Judges in these electoral litigations, and were requested to use all despatch in the execution of their duties, that the citizens might not be deprived of their rights. It is on occasion of such disputed votes that the Royal Court of the capital has displayed such ex traordinary industry and activity. In 658 of the cases on which it has passed judgment, the question related to the right of such electors as had not used due diligence to get their names on the lists before they were closed on the 30th of September last year. The Prefects decided against the claims of this class of proprietors, and had there been no ap peal, such electors must, for the present election, have been effectually disfranchised. The Royal Court has declared this numerous body entitled to vote, and thus pronounced against the agents of the Administration. It would be needless to specify the other cases, which are of a nature equally urgent, and where the decision is equally igainst the &gents of the local authority.--1 The nature of these decisions, which are gene rally againq the Ministry, and the hope that the Court of Cassation may reverse the sentence of the inferior tribunal, have induced the Ministry to adopt the extraordinary step of postponing the elec . ions in, twenty departments, seven of which are included in 'the jurisdiction of the Royal Court of Paris. This measure, to which we have more than once alluded, had met with the decided disapprobation of many Royalists, and is more likely to injure the cause of the ministerial candidates than to secure their suc cess. The expectation seems to be general, that the Court of Cassation will, in this case, confirm the judgment of the Royal Courts. But, whatever the final decision may be, the French have .obtained another practical demonstration, that they may rely upon the courage and integrity of their judges— that the existing laws will be duly executed—aud that whatever may be their feeling towards the Ad ministration, they should preserve equally from the encroachments of despotism and anarchy, a political system under which their political and civil privi leges enjoy such security.—Times. " We lost few men on landing, thanks to the tactics of the Turks, consisting in allowing our troops . to land before they attacked them—a most wretched...method, and which will insure the success ~f our campaign. A strong opposition on the coast, would have done us much harm; it would not cer tainly have prevented us from attaining our object, hut at least it might have retarded our entry into Algiers.

Upon a certain occasion, having visited Ayr disguise, the attention of Wallace was at- .ratted by a crowd collected near the quarters o the military. In the midst of a circle of his own countrymen, there stood an Englishman of huge dimensions, playing off his raillery against the Scots, and offering, for a groat, an opportunity! of avenging any injury they might have received from the English, by permitting the best among them to exert their utmost strength in striking a blow upon his back with a poll which he held in hand ; accompanying this absurd declaration with 'certain ridiculous gestures and scurrilous lan guage, while his mailed companions, with arms akimbo, stood loitering around, laughing, and enjoying the e humour of their bulky buffoon. Wallace approached, and tendered treble the sum for the permission offered. This was rea dily agreed to by the jester, who winked to hip companions as he prepared to fulfil the condi tions. The wary Scot had observed the trick ; and, grasping the pole above the place where ii was intended to give way, he let fall a blow with such good will, that the spine yielded to its force, and the foolish witling stink with a groan at the feet of his companions. Instantly the swords of the English were out to revenge the slaughter of their favourite. One of them, tdvancing towards the offender, received a blow on the head, which laid him lifeless across the body of the jester. Surrounded on all sides by Lhe increasing numbers of his adversaries, ht plied his weapon with a rapidity and a force which kept the most forward of them at bay. Over the steel bacinet ofa powerful trooper. the fatal pole was shivered to pieces. Others. seeing him, as they imagined, disar►ned by this tccident, rushed forward, expected to over whelm him with their numbers ; but on drawing is sword, which he had concealed under hi; dress, they as quickly receded from the well known power of his arm. Having, by his trust) blade, cleared the way to one of outlets the town, he was there attacked by two of the boldest of the garrison, who had not before .ningled in the fray. The object of one of them appeared to be, to engage him in a little sword play, and thus give his party an opportunity of :lemming him in, but Wallace, aware of the value of his time, broke through the guard of his artful opponent, with a blow which clove him to the teeth, while the other, in the' act of retreating, received a thrust through an opening in his armour, which, reaching his ,vitals, laid him senseless by the side of his corn 'panion. Five of the English soldiers had now Callen beneath the arm of the youthful warrior ; and the rest seemed so averse to come within his reach, that he had time to gain a little copse in the neighbourhood, where he had left his horse before he entered the town, and, bound ing into the saddle, the hardy trooper was soon beyond the reach of any fresh assistance they might procure. Horse and foot were, however, soon on the alert ; but after a long and a fruit less pursuit, they were obliged to return—some of those who had already witnessed his prowess no way displeased at their want of success.— Constable's Mitcellang. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAT.) INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. FROM LLOYD'S. Lord TENTERDEN, on the motion for the third reading of this Bill, moved an amendment, which was agreed to, after which the Bill was read A third time and passed. Earl GREY presented a petition from the inha bitants of Innishaven against any increase of taxes in Ireland. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the se-, cond reading of the Shuber Ireadie Canal Bill. Lord DURII NM wished to hear from the Noble Earl some explanation of tho grounds on which the grant was made in the Bill. PonTsuouvr, Juxt 25.—Arrived the Elphinston, h atra , from London, for Bengal. Pr.smourn, Jutis 24.—Arrived off port the Mount Stewart, Elphinstone, from Bombay; sailed January 21, and from the Cape April 13.

Off port the William Money, Fiddler, from Bengal ; and the Ancona, from Trieste. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said it was for . 7,ranting a sum of 15,0001. or 20,000/. in aid of the work of the canal. Lord DURHAM was aware of that fact, as every one must be who had read the Bill. What he wanted to know was, the grounds on which such a grant was made. It was the practice in the other House of Parliament to explain the grounds on which any grant of money was required, and it ought to be the same in this House. He hoped the Noble Earl would be prepared to give some expla nation on the subject on Monday or Tuesday. The Bill was (we believe) postponed. The Archbishop of YORK presented petitions from Axford and Stourbridge, against the punish—, ment of death for forgery. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a similar petition from Witney.

Earl GREY moved that this Bill be committed, l And the House having gone into the Committee, The Duke of WELLINGTON rose, for the, purpose of moving the clause of which he gavel notice yesterday. He stated yesterday, that the Act the 4th Geo. I. was inconsistent with the present policy of this country, which now made no •listinction between Catholic and Protestant as l to their civil rights; and he would now, asl briefly as possible, state to their Lordships the grounds on which be thought that Act, which the present Act sought to amend, should t)e re pealed altogether. The Noble Duke then proceeded to read the preamble of that Act, which set forth how much the success of the Protestant interest in that part of Ireland depended on the loyalty and, fidelity of the garrison of Galway; and also noticed the disposition of the Corporation of Galway to favour Popery. It then enacted tint four Magis trates of the county of Galway, being Protestants, should also be magistrates for the town and county of the town of Galway, and also that 40s. free holders being Protestants, should try offenders in the town; and it likewise enacted that any Protest tnt artisan, or person engaged in business, residing in the town for seven years, might claim as a matter 'lf right to be made a freeman of the town and a • member of the corporation, having a right to vote :"or Members of Parliament for the town upon his eking the usual oaths. Now, he contended, that though the policy of that Act might have been necessary at that period, it was not necessary it present, but was wholly inconsistent with he spirit of the measure passed last year —the policy of which was to give encouragement to every man in corporate towns without religious liatinction. It might be said-that the Bill-on the , able was a remedy, by extending to Catholics the iame privilege as that enjoyed by Protestants in that town, but be contended that it would be more just to repeal it altogether. The Act was itself a violation of the rights of the Charter given to the town by Charles: IL, and ought not to be continued onger than the policy of the country required. That policy being now wholly changed, the Act which 4rew out of it should be repealed. It would not be Any act of injustice to Protestants at present.in the town, because they all could claim any right to which they were entitled under the law of Geo. I.; !but the continuance of that law would have the ef 'feet of throwing in 4,000 or 5,000 new electors, which would completely destroy the rights of the Corporation. If this Corporation had been exclu sively Protestant, it would be different; but the fact was, of 800' freeholders entitled to vote for it the majority were Roman Catholics. The Noble Duke, after contending that the allowing the Act of 4th Geo. I. to remain, Ni ould overturn the Cor poration, by letting in upon them 4,000 or 5,000 of the lowest class of persons as electors, and observ ing that the repeal would be no injury to Protest ants, fur that since the Act passed not 100 Pro testants had claimed their freedom under it, and iu• the last 15 years not one, concluded by moving a clause repealing the Act 4th of Geo. I. altogether. Emil GREY said it was with reluctance he found it necessary to oppose the amendment proposed by the Noble Duke; but he could net avoid doing so, as the effect of the Noble Dukes clause would be`' to convert a Bill intended to afford relief into u nietuture of disqualification. He was far from wish ing to contend that the policy which dictated the ; ,4th of Geo. I. was now to be acted on : that policy, he was happy to say, had been gradually abandoned - 0 r had received i r ef d ofl.i last t Session.itstth leallrtaw from t The preser,le present i l l e lp r r i r o e . seeded on the principle of that law, and was eslcu- .- fated td render the Roman Catholics of Galway - capable.l4iieim with t iofeee,rgi corporatesingthe electiveright.

Duke, who had supported the Relief Bill, proposed .. such an alteration in the present measure, the effect - ' of which was— " ...-•-- to keep the word of promise to the ear, _ " Vat break it to the sense." .' The Noble Duke referred to the charter of the cor poration ~ of Galway, and argued from it that the right of election should be restricted to the freemen ! ` ; as now appointed; that the government of the hos. : .. rough was vested in certain officers and burgesses; and further, that the present Bill would overthrow s.' the corporation. Where was this charter'? / 4 s. ' had not been produced. But putting aside that i s : , matter, the convitution of the borough unit Cots - poration did not rest in the words of the Charter ' ' only, but also upon usage and prescription, lie i contended that to pass the Bill in its present shape, .! 1 would not be to overturn the rights of the Ctlq.)° - ' ration, but that if the Noble Duke's propositiots wit's' 1 • adopted, its effect would be to destroy those ri . gilt. which the people of Galway had enjoyed, first by - ' • prescription, and next by charter, up to the passing ; i:,` •of the Bill of Geo. I. Instead of having a ten- • i dency to destroy the Charter, this Bill was in con- ; formity with it, and with long usage and prescrip- 1 • tioo. The Noble Earl went into a statement of the ..., political history of the borough, for the purpose of • i / • showing that previously to 1717 the right of ad- f , mission into the Corporation was possessed by the , - ' resident inhabitants generally. From the restrict= tions imposed by the 4th Geo. 1., CatYoolies and s ' Protestants (but especially the former) wereldll'eved • by the Act of last session. The 4th Geo. I. getse• to.:' persons who had professed the Protestant religion kr :. . seven years not the right of admission to the CorpO --' ratien (for that they possessed before), but additional -, facilities fur obtaining the enjoyment of the privi- :' leges conferred by it. In 1727, by an Act of the Irish .', Parliament, Catholics were deprived of the facilities 2's which they po,sessed of being admitted into the r guilds. As the matter stood at present, the rights .. both of Protestants and Catholics would he de- stroyed by the Noble Duke's clause. He denied that this was a Bill to violate the privileges of the .i. corporation ; it was a measure of restoration, not of • innovation—its object being to restore rights which had fallen into disuse. The Corporation had not petitioned against the Bill: s e ven p e titions h a d been presented against it ; there were very few sig natures attached to them, and in four the name - of the same individual, Mr. James Daly, was repeated. This gentleman and Mr. Burke (the Mayor) were the principal petitioners against the Bill. There was no petition under the corporate seal against it. To accomplish such a petition, the opponents of the measure must have had a majority of the Com Mon Council on their side; but the majority of the Corn mon Council had petitioned in favour of the. Bill— • (Hear)—as had every Protestant freeman—(Hear) —two out of three of the vicars of the town, a n d , 1 , grand jurors, in the proportion of 16 to 4, and 14 . i Magistrates. The Noble Earl proceeded to.con- trast the character of the petitioners on either side, and observed, that he did not believe that in the history of Corporations greater abuses of corruption were to be found recorded than in the city of Gal. way,—abuses and c irruption in which the petitioners against the Bill were themselves mainly instrumen tal. It was perfectly true that great numbers of the Roman Catholic peasants, resident at a distance on the estate of the patron of this borough, had been admitted as freemen, and it• was now intended by the Noble Duke's clause to support their privileges against those of, wor thier claimants. At the same time the Bill, as it stood at present, had this advantage, that it did not exclude Mr. Daly's Roman Catholic peasants, whilst ' it rendered other Roman Catholics eligible. • The fears expressed at an assumed violation of the char ter came with a bad grace from individuals who :tad diverted the funds of the Corporation from the proper channel to their own advantage. The Noble Earl went into the proceedings instituted in Chan cery against the Corporation for this misdirection of ".. the funds, and observed, that the Mayor was now o underthef this 1i decree sc a re e there attachment nai.ea : i) yil o Sir pi rr f o o Ao r f. contumacy;Hbatr Hart. sttri disobeying phpeo in sNinogbliet to b Dukee i t s h t stated, t e fact,d , that a thecomplaint as s l d tohhoitee l l oe e s Ntduacionhr Billob' offic e rs increases,rchtee) op O rosue O ral do( inifcoeoposfavnaf the selh v si‘eou, o olnd t vAt e teiei r tdcrr s ies:, . ohibr, l c : i ieirti a flac a i g m eni d Gcni:ric e gNBn c ser o eolos ‘ lo l n n o:b . fa i f sti e t :ltae l i r .. : nt r ii iß e ra)i a i t sndr l tHaii d b oktm‘e t i a jhvevi h d a:eooi s e cddrui g :euijma r f dlle a r tmi icei:c.nnatieeeeenidisa;losTcf:iti.tmme:neotn, petitionersifmt,et, 4thhCo9heseoferrbtpeveooomrrioar leutrnilg borough on who th e 0 , n all i d n prefer 7 t B i li t 2 e s by observing that he had taken up the question through a sense of the policy and justice of the Bill, 'with a desire to do his duty to the House and to the country, and wholly uninfluenced by party or political bias. Lord MANNERS made an observation which was inaudible. Viscount GODERICH said he would support the Bill, in the conviction that it was expedient, just, and necessary, and that all the opposite cha racteristics ought to be applied to the amendment which he lamented to see opposed by the Noble Duke. The Earl of WINCHILSEA thanked the Noble Earl (tJrey) for having stood forward in behalf of the rights not only of Protestants but Catholics. He would give the Bill, without the amendment, his cordial support. 1 The LORD CHANCELLOR said the question ought to be discussed calmly, and without reference to party feelings. After the best consideration which he had b en able to give to the subject, founded upon all the information he could obtain, he thought it would be both unjust and impolitic to pass the Bill, except as modified by the amendment proposed by the Noble Duke. The Noble Earl (Grey) had alluded to three charters which had been granted to the Corporation previously to the charter of Charles 11. But the Noble Earl had omitted to state that those charters had been for feited, and that the proceedings of the Corporation had been governed down to the present time by the charter of Charles. The Act of 4th Geo I. was passed to prevent Catholics from obtaining the ascen d anc y in Galway, it being apprehended that they would exert their power and influence against the interests of the Douse of Brunswick. The Noble Earl said that Act conferred no new right upon the Protestants. Ile should like to know from what source the Noble Earl derived that informa tion. It could not be from a perusal of the Act. His opinion was that the Act did confer most im portant additional rights on the Protestants. No ' -doubt that Act was an infringement on the popular 1 rights; but was not the measure now proposed an infringement to a much greater extent ? It, was ne-, / cessary to consid er th e p ract i ca l operat i on o f t h e privilege conferred upon Protestants by the Act of •i !Geo. 1.
