THE very great success which has attended the administration of the above medicine in cases of lom nervous debility, and the surprising effects which have been produced in speedily restoring tone to debilitated stomachs, and, by so doing, strengthening the digestive organs, creating an appetite, and invigorating the whole system, have induced the proprietor m os t s t rong ly t o re comtnond it to the notice of the public, and to assure them, that, as an antidote against sickness, fainting, and hysteri eel affections, and as a Nervous and Stomachic Restorative, it stands unrivalled, and is a speedy cure for the Ague. The most satisfactory and respectable references might be brought forward in its favour; but, as this method is fre quently adopted merely to deceive, and as a single bottle of the Balsam will almost invariably afford the greatest relief, if not wholly remove the complaint, the proprietor prefers recommending a trial, and leaving it to stand on its own merits.

FRENCH BLOCKADE OF ALGIERS. Sir R. WILSON wished to put a question to the Right Hon. Gent. respecting the French blockade of Algiers. It had been stated that his Majesty's Government had despatched a frigate to Algiers for the purpose of removing the British residents there. It was also stated that when that ship arrived off Algiers she had been prevented by the French block ading squadron from entering the port, and had been compelled to sail for Malta. He wished to know whether the French Admiral, under these circum stances, had adopted any measures to ensure the safety of the British residents. Sir It. PEEL believed he could give the Hon. Member a most satisfactory explanation on this sub ject. It was well known that a blockade had been long considered to be established at Algiers, and when, besides that circumstance, it became notorious that a considerable expedition was about to sail from France to Algiers, the British Government had thought it right to despatch a frigate to remove the wives and children of British residents there, in order that they might not be present at the approach ing scene, in which they might probably be sufferers. The frigate arrived, entered the port, and took on board all those who wished to return, with the ex ception of the wife of the British Consul, who, in consequence of illness, we's unable to leave the place a t tbat moment. A communication then took place with respect to her, between the commander of the British ship of war and the commander of the French frigates, to which had been entrusted the active care of maintaining the blockade. The French com mander had doubted whether his instructions would permit him to allow the return of the frigate for the purpose of taking away the wife of the British ' Consul, but would refer to his Admiral upon the subject. The rules applicable in cases of this kind were, that all ships w ere to be excluded; but it was the usage that ships of war despatched for such a special purpose, and especially by friendly Go vernments, should be admitted to pass. It was some time before the answer of the Admiral could be obtained, but in the mean time the French Go vernment became acquainted with the circumstances, and in the most ready and obliging manner inter posed, and told the French Commander that he had misconstrued his instructions, and that it, was not the wish of the Government to prevent those usages which in similar cases were generally permitted. It was right for him to mention, also, that before the British Government had sent out this ship for the removal of the British residents, the French Govern ment had intimated that they would provide the means of safety for all the European residents who should wish to quit the place. Sir R. WILSON was perfectly delighted with the very satisfactory explanation of the affair. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from a dissent ing congregation in Hull, in favour of the abolition of Negro slavery. Mr. RICE presented a petition from Limerick and its vicinity, against the assimilation of English and Irish duties on stamps and spirits. He then postponed the Order of the Day for the further con sideration of the Usury Bill. Mr. E. DAVENPORT presented a petition from Shafte, , bury, against capital punishment for forgery. The petitioners expressed their disap pointment at the Bill now in progress through the House, which retained the punishment of death in several cases. Sir R. PEEL should, on Monday next, propose a Bill on the subject of forgery, framed so as to obviate many of the object►ons made to the Bill now before the House. Mr. E. DAVENPORT presented a petition Iron, Mr. James qint, of Cloodesley-square, 131ingtoo, upon the steiject of rates and taxes, which Sir R. HERON presented a petitiob on the sub-. ject of the duties of High Sheriffs, an, was min: stood to ask a question as to what the Committee had done with respect to that subject. Mr. F. PALMER said, that the Committeejikie received much important information on tlit,Ab ject, and be truqed that the result would be, to make the office of High Sheriff much less expensive than it hitherto had been to country gentlemen. Mr. J. WOOD presented two petitions from the Unitarian Dissenters of Bolton-le-Moor, in favour fg tle Jews. He moved that the petitions be printed. Sir R. PEEL objected to the motion. Mr. AldermatOVAlTH MAN thought that every Member ought to be responsible for the petitions he caused to be printed. Sir M. W. RIDLEY mentioned that this morn ing he had received a document, consisting of 270 folio pages, relating to the burning of Ilindoo Widows. Of these 260 were filled with the names of the persons burnt, but contained no other informa tion. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said that some returns were unnecessarily printed. Those relating to the County Courts and the Insolvent Debtors' Courts were among the number, for they spread over many years, and contained returns previously printed, whereas they ought only to have been continuations of those returns. Sir R. PEEL observed that such reprints of old returns might be prevented, if gentlemen would apply to that most excellent and public officer, the Librarian of the House, Mr. Spiller, whose labours, zeal, and retoliness every indiyidual in that House had had so much reason to praise.—(Hear.) Mr. P. THOMPSON said that another excel lent officer, Mr. Irving, would readily afford most material information as to returns cinnected with matters of trade. Mr. lIUME insisted that in the petition referred to by the Right Finn. Gentleman, much important matter upon the Grand Jury System in Ireland was disclOSed, and the petition %vas on that account worth printing, although some of its illustrations might not be very well chosen. Mr. O'CONNELL confirmed this statement. The petition was laid upon the table, after a few words from Mr. J. `Noon. Mr. BARING presented a petition from the Ma gistrates and inhabitants of Thetford, against the Sale of Beer Bill. TRADE WITH MEXICO. Mr. HOSKISSON rose to present a petition, of which he had given notice, from that portion of the merchants of Liverpool engaged in the trade with Mexico; the prayer of it was that the House would adopt such measures us would protect the interests of the petitioners, and Mace the Spanish Govern ment to desist from engaging its expeditions from Cuba, which would only terminate in disgrace to the arms of Spain, and in injury to all parties con neeted with the independent State of Mexico. The Right Hon. Gentleman called the attention of the House especially to this petition, because it em braced points of the highest importance, and espe cially two questions-1. Whether Great Britain, under the circumstances, had a right to demand of Spain that she should forego these destructive and useless expeditions; or, 2. Whether on general grounds of policy and expediency, Great Britain ought not to take measures for the cessation of hos tilities. It was well known that Cuba, of late years, had been made the rendezvous of the Spanish power in that quarter of the world—the point from which attacks were directed against the free States of South America. In 1825 an expedition had been prepared against it by the Republic of Colom bia, and it had been the publicly stated opinion of Mr. Clay, the Foreign Secretary of the United States, that it could not but be successful in the then state of the force of the island, and of the opinions of the inhabitants. It was decidedly and obviously adverse to the interests both of Great Britain and of the United States, but particularly of the former, that the tranquillity of Cuba should be disturbed; and although it was not upon record, it was a fact that Mr. Canning had had an interview with the Colombian and Mexican Ministers, in con sequence of which, and in reverential deference to the wishes of this country, that expedition had been abandoned, and Cuba retained to the mother country. A report had gone forth that Great Britain had seen reason to regret her good offices in the recognition of the independence of the New States of South America; but he begged here to deny, as far as his knowledge went, the truth of that report. After the abandonment of the expedi tion by Colombia against Cuba, Spain had collected in that island all the military she could concentrate, and had husbanded her resources with the express view of making an attack either upon Colombia or Mexico, in order, if possible, to recover some portion of her revolted colonies. In August last, therefore, an expedition, was fitted out from thence, and sailed for Mexico, and he wished to know whe ther Ministers had received any previous information of the fact—whether they had made any remonstrance against it—and whether they had told Spain, in ef fect, that in consequence of having saved Cuba from subjugation by Colombia, Great Britain was bound to take care that that island was not made the point from which at tacks were to proceed to any quarter to which they might be directed ? If no such remon strance had been made, he should contend that this Government had neglected to maintain that strict impartiality to which it had been pledged. That expedition had been completely defeated, but it had not been undertaken and carried into effect without serious injury to the maritime interests and commerce of this country. As it was now impos sible to restore the parties to the situation they respec tively occupied in 1825, when the expedition from Columbia was relinquished, it was our duty to take care that nothing was done by Cuba to assail her n eighbours by military aggression. Hostilities be tween Spain and her colonies had now bee❑ carried on for one and twenty years, and seven years since the British Government had declared that the con test on the part of the Mother Country was hopeless, and ought to be abandoned. When' such was the case, by the Law of Nations, Foreign States had a right to interpose to prevent farther bloodshed. War was a great evil, and ought not to be allowed for the purpose of gratifying personal spite and ani mosity. But independently of the call of humanity in this respect, third parties sustained serious loses by the continuance of the war. Piracies, carried on in the most brutal spirit, had grown up during the state of hostilities to which he had adverted, and in 1822, so much had this country suffered, that she was on the point of issuing letters of reprisal, in order to assert and maintain her rights and to pro tect her trade. A Treaty of Indemnity with Spain had, however, rendered this hostile step needless, and under that Treaty the merchants of this country had received about 30 or 40 per cent. !Ton the amount of their losses. This country had low observed a strict neutrality during a period of even years, but surely there was no Honourable Gentleman in that House who would maintain that that neutrality was to be eternal. Our commercial character, and our relations with Mexico, demanded that we should not hold ourselves bound by it for ' ever; we were interested in seeing, not only that ' Mexico was independent, but that slie possessed the ' 'capability of making thet independence respected. ! if the United States of North America said that ! they could not allow Cuba to he in the hands of any . %ritime Power, was not this country entitled ' .411Murd too, that it would not be a party to the ' United States possessing any more coast alone. the Gulph of Me_Ljaa than that Power at present held ? That e we7tglltiore especially true, as there wa- i iood 4 reAbirto believe that they cast their eyes upon ports belonging to Mexico in the Pacific; and were ' they thus to get all of Mexico that they desired, there would be nothing left of its independence su perior to the independence possessed by the Indian ' tribes in connexion with the United States ; an in dependence, which, he need not observe, was held at the option of that Power. In making those ob servations he was the furthest in the world from meaning to create any impression that he desired ;o sec the good tnrderstandiog and mutual confidence, now happily subsisting between two such countries is Great Britain and the United States, in any way disturbed ; but when lie looked at the permanent circumstances, which determined the policy of nations, he could not help being per suaded that it was the duty of England, as it was her interest, to take such measures as might secure the permanent independence of Mexico. The steps necessary for that would find abundance of precedents in the hi tory of Europe, with reference to European States, and there was certainly nothing in demo cratic Republics which ought to entitle them to any exemption. It was perfectly true that Mr. Canning had all along observed the neutrality, and had incul cated that policy, but it was not to be observed for ever ; a teasonable time was the duration which was to be expected for it, and most assuredly there was nothing in Republics, any more than in the most despotic military states, which entitled them to for bearance. He would now call the attention of the House to a correspondence held by Mr. Jefferson, so far back as the time when he was Secretary of State, writing to one of the Ministers of the Re public, ut a foreign Court, and speaking of the na vigation of the Mississippi. " You know that na vigation (he says) cannot be of any service to us, unless it be accompanied by the possession of a port at which the sea and river vessels might meet and ex change cargoes." Then he proceeded to state a general proposition, to the effect that the right to use anything—as the stream, for example, of the Missis sippi—gave the right to all the means that could be re quired for the enjoyment and exercise of that right. In a few days after that, the same functionary wrote a letter---*Fnfidential letter—to the Ame rican Minister at aril, in which his ideas are more definitely expressed. In his confidential communi cation, he distinctly pointed at the town of New Orleans, saying, that though it might not be pru dent to hazard a proposition of that nature at first, ;hat the general principle might be stated and set tled, and that by little and little the contemplated cession of it might be rendered familiar. The right to it, he observed, should be claimed, and also the possession of a circumjacent territory, extra-territo rial of Spain. That was the idea he confidentially I communicated, and which he left for future growth. The war ended, and the war of the Revolution fol lowed. In 1803 the United States bought the whole of Louisiana from France, with hard money; and in 1806, Mr. Jefferson—the same Mr. Jeffer son, no longer Secretary, but holding the higher si- tuation of President—began to broach the idea that the whole Gulph stream ought to belong to the United States ; and held that, whether they could obtain it by consent er force, the acquirement of it ought to form the fixed desire of their policy. In 1819, the United States obtained a further increase of power and territory, by the cession of the whole of the Floridas; and in 1823, having all those, they raised a question about Cuba, and manifested de sires at open variance with the independence of Mexico. It was, perhaps, scarcely necessary to add, that the whole language of Mr. Jefferson, and his views in every respect, were the same which the Government of the United States held up to the present time. There were also documents proceed ing from that Government in 1823, in which Cuba was spoken of as calculated to' form a must in teresting accession to the territory of the United States—" as affording a controul over the Gulp!) of Mexico and the Isthmus, and so fill up the measure of our (the U.S.) political well-being." He thought that pretty well showed the po litical views of the United States. Now in such a position of afEtirs he had no hesitation in as serting that this country was bound to maintain her commercial rights in the Gulph, or be prepared to give up her maritime and commercial ascendancy in the New World : therefore, once and for all, he would affirm that we ought to put Cuba out of dis pute. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after enlarging upon the importance of the matter in question, and the opinions entertained respecting it out of doors, proceeded to observe, that if the sentiments of the House proved to be in unison with those of the country, those sentiments might go forth benefi cially, and might assist in putting an end to hos tilities between Spain and Mexico. This country had high claims on Spain—not only for the inde pendence which she attained through our interfer ence,, but on other grounds; moreover, we were entitled to call upon her for a cessation of hostilities upon the very precedent which she herself esta• blislied in 1609, by granting to the United Nether lands a truce of twelve years, which was not after wards disturbed for forty years. Now he thought we had a right to ask of Spain that she should grant a truce of twelve years. He begged of the House to bear in mind that Mexico was the great source of the precious metals—that the whole of Europe was at present suffering under a scarcity of the precious metals—and that much improvement might be expected to arise from that increased sup ply of them which could alone be expected from a termination of that disquiet in Mexico which alone could be expected to lead to the working of her mines. On those grounds—expressing only the opinion of an individual Member of Parliament—he must he allowed to say that he thought his Ma jesty's Ministers were called upon to exert their in fluence with the Allies of this country, for the pur pose of inducing the great Powers of Europe to insist that a termination he put to those hostilities— this country bad a right to say, so far as Cuba was concerned, and, indeed, generally with respect to the other points in dispute. Sir ROBERT PEEL, said he trusted the House would not only excuse him, but feel that he was perfectly justified in abstaining from entering into the discussion of many of the important points which his Right Hon. Friend had brought before them. He did not quarrel tvith the speech they had just heard. His objections to discuss all its topics were of a higher nature. His Right Hon. Friend had addressed them as an individual member while he (Sir Robert Peel) stood in a very different situation. No one was responsible for anything which his Right Hon. Friend might say excepting leSs was the King's Government re sponsible for th language which had just been ad dressed to them. Accoidinely, his Right Hon. Friend and he stood in very different situations ; that was not the time or place in which he sh ou ld feel himself warranted in stating the policy-of the Government, nor would it be proper that he should give any opinions on the questions of natural right which had been started; for, if he entered into the discussion of those, he did not see how he could avoid giving such opinions as might disclose the general policy of this country ; he, therefore, felt himself compelled by a sense of duty to maintain a prudent and cautious reserve. The speech of his Right Hon. Friend naturally divided itself into two leading heads. As to one of those—the supposed light of England to dictate to Spa'n, arid to prevent her from continuing the contest—he should beg to abstain from entering into any discussion ; but as to the past policy of this country, he should beg to inquire, whether there was any obligation upon us to prevent Spain from directing an expedition against Mexico from the island of Cuba ? In 1824, or early in 1825, it was notified to the Representatives of the Provinces of Mexico and Columbia that this country could not interfere for the prevention of hostilities against them; and, therefore, so far from incurring any obligation such as had been hinted at, this country avoided embarrassing itself with any undertakings whatever, though she might by re monstrances oppose to it the strong moral power which her remonstrances naturally carried; but it had not done so. He must, however, say that therd had been touch misunderstanding on this subject; but he would put it to the House in this way--was there such injury done to Mexico and Colombia as created upon us a moral obligation to interpose our eutlio r:ty with Spain to force that country to forego its expedition from Cuba ? This he thought was suffi ly shown by the past conduct of the British Government. The language of Mr. Canning, both in his despatches and in his place in Parliament, was, that in the contest between Spain and her Co lonies England would maintain a strict eeutrality— that was the language of Mr. Canning, both ix his communications with the Freneh Government, and his speeches in this House. He need not add, that if the interdict spoken of had been issued, it would have been a departure from that neutrality. As the character of the country, and of the eminent and distinguished mail whom he mentioned, was some what involved in the present discussion, he trusted the House would allow him to enter a little more into detail. First, with respect to the existence of any such interdict or remonstrance—he was pre• pared to deny it—there was not a trace of it in the Foreign Office ; and if such a paper ever had exist ence, the usage of the office would have insured its preservation, even if Mr. Canning's own habits of regularity had not been such as would have rendered its loss impossible, for he was not less distinguished for industry than be was for those intellectual powers supposed to be incompatible with that qua lity. First, then, there was no written record of any such document ; and, secondly, if there had been, he was prepared to maintain that it never. had been issued at the instance of Spain. In the course of the. latter part of the year 1825, the United States did interfere to a certain degree. The do cuments on the subject had been laid before Con eress, and, therefore, there could be no doubt upon the subject. The course that the United States adopted was to appeal to Russia to mediate on the occasion between the parties, on the supposition that preparations were making in Mexico and Co lombia for the purpose of attacking Cuba. The United Sates, therefore, had recourse to is friendly interference till there should be time to ap peal to Russia; and accordingly on the seoth Dec., 1825, Mr. Clay, the Secretary of State, addressed a letter to the Colombian Minister, resident at Washing ton, to inform him of the circumstance. Mr. Clay there stated that the President, suspecting that there was an intention of sailing against Cuba or Porte Rico, thought that it would have a salutary tendency to wards peace if Colombia would allow time to elapse for the purpose of ascertaining the result of the pacific efforts which the great Powers were making. The reply of the Colombian Minister to this com munication was important. It was dated 30th Dec. It stated that he would communicate the Presi dent's Message to the Colombian Government by the first opportunity; but at the same time con tained the assurance, that neither by official com munication, nor by his private letters, had he any knowledge relative to the expedition preparing at Carthagena ; he was therefore inclined to believe, that what was said had been formed on vague con jecture. He likewise assured the Secretary, that his Government, knowing the consequence of an ill judged attempt against Cuba or Porto Rico, pre ferrred, though an opportunity might present itself, waiting for a favourable moment of attack, so as to be certain of success. From this despatch of the Minister of Colombia, it did not appear that there was any intimation of the interference of England, or that it was expected that she would treat such an attack with interference; and therefore there certainly must have been some misapprehension on this subject on the part of his Hon. Friend. But with respect to any supposed interference on the part of this country, he would venture to speak still more openly. He knew that it was not a practice in that House to quote official papers that had not been laid before Parliament. But as this was a very peculiar case, and as the character of the late Mr. Canning appeared to be involved in it to some ex tent, he was sure that the House would excuse him, . and permit hint to quote the authority of Mr. Can ning himself with respect to his construction of what had taken place. He bad lying before him an • extract of a despatch with which Mr Canning had furnished Mr. Dawkins, in March, 1826. In that despatch the Right Hou. Gentleman made use of the words, " You will see how earnestly it is desired by the United States, by France, and by this country, that Cuba should remain a Colony of Spain. The British Government, indeed, so far from denying the right of the new States of America to make a hos tile attack upon Cuba, whether as the possession of a power with which they were at war, or as an ar , serial from which expeditions may be fitted out, felt . it so strongly, that we uniformly refused to join with the United States in remonstrances with Mexico and Colombia against their supposed intention, or in , intimating that we should receive displeasure at its execution." He really thought that this extract, coupled with the absence of any evidence to the contrary, was sufficient to lead to the conclusion that Mr. Canning never intended to notify to Mexico or Colombia that they were not at liberty to direct any expedition against Cuba, or that, if they did, they would be subject to the displeasure of Eng land. He believed that it was possible that Mr. Canning might have verbally remonstrated against E the excitement likely to ensue in the case of the r slaves being stirred up to take a part in the war. — He certainly did think that Mr. Canning might have , intimated that any appeal to the slave population against their masters would not be viewed without . displeasure. It was on this very ground that the United States claimed the right to remonstrate, be cause it was felt, that if at Cuba, which was to Spain now the only point d'appui, such a step was taken, a contagion might spread, which would prove dangerous to the safety of the United States, by which that Government would feel called on to in terfere its power. He therefore could not doubt, that when Mr. Canning looked at our possessions in the West Indies, and what interests we had at stake there, he should have made some verbal communica tion to the Colombian Minister, although of a writ ten document there was no record. Again, he said, it was possible, and from what he had heard lie be lieved that such a conversation had taken place, but he appealed to Mr. Canning's despatch to Mr. Daw kins, to show that that Right lion. Gentleman clever interposed the authority of ibis country against any hostile aggressions, which were con sistent with the usages of war. 'He considered all these facts of great importance, for they showed that whatever the abstract right or policy of the question might be, no moral Obligatib!Huo:-obligation of honour was lying upon this` country to protect the provinces of MeXico or ColoMbia now that they were threatened; becitufr! tvs 4§4lcotti,tud, Cuba
