SPIRIT OF THE„PIAkLIC .TOI3ItNA.LS. It is amusing as well as gratifying to observe viith what freedom the French Journals now discuss the military operations of their countrymen, and the ~ ' plans of their Commander at Algiers. Hail thi s been one of Bonaparte's expeditions, they would have no more dared to say any thing respecting it but what he had dictated, than to face the fire of tho troops to which the place had been surrendered.— , But being a triumph purely il'rench, and springing from a Bourbon, it is obvious that it gives pain, add is offensive to the old Jacobins, the obsequious or trembling slaves of a Corsican. The .Waiiona/, ii paper set up lately, actually regrets that the pins has been surrendered with so little bloodshed", anti \Mild attribute the final success to the itfterpositim sif the foreign Consuls, and their tepreientations to the Dey, or to the barbarian's apprehension of in ternal revolt. So meth for the patriotism anti loyalty of French ,Xescubins. But now, Algiers hy. ing taken, what is to be done with it le We '3llotild say, " What the conquerors please," tut in so saying, we apprehend that we di&r from the British Government in opiniess, The Duke of Wellington :nay probably view with suspicion such an amen-, lizement of a rivial nation as the Requisition of te °, large settlement on the African coast; arid if it can be shown to affect materially the balance, or, tts we ealled it yesterday, the distribution of power iui Entope, his Grace would be right to resist the per. i nutrient assignment of Algiers to aance. But ill ' . France gain that country as ets appendage, shall we •, itud the rest of Europe g ain nothing by its civtlisa-, I ion and improvement'? We answer, yes, almost) 4 , as much as Frame by the sovereignty of it. Had, the conquest, indeed, been made by a PoWer that possessed no other ports in the Mediterranean, the ease would have been widely different; but of what) l e , great use are the ports of Algiers to the fleets of France, who hat already a line of coast abounding) with havens of every description on the same Hen, , extending from the third to nearly the tighth degr6 ' of start longitude, from the eastern Pyrenees to the /., Maritime Alps of Savoy P The accession of the, . ports of Algiers would but serve to divide and sever the naval armaments of France. On the `Other hand the improvement of Algiers would unquestionably tend to increase our commettel the wants of a bar ,, haterus race would be Multiplied, and the desire rt.. a European inventions communicated to their neighbours. The nations of Attica to the north ' of the Great Desert must of necessity men their at tention to agriculture instead of piracy, and we should . t; be aide to import from thence many commodities t 4 which we are now obliged to seek from beyond the t Atlantic. It is an illiberal policy, as we think, m pies l ' vent the civilisation of a barbarous people, and to insist upon their being cast back into their previous state of grossness, lest the new possessors of 0101 ~, /. country should experience an increase of power. ~' l , , Besides, France upbraids us with the misfrovern '' ment and oppression of India; we should be curious 1 ' r .Ol to know how she would govern Algiers. We give the übove merely as our own view of the snivel. and at present on imperfect information. If France has pledged herself to the Powers of Europe not to l.'* : retain or coirmize Algiers in case she conquered it, she will, no doubt, fulfil her engagement. If she be ~1j free and unfettered by any such obligation, it is still ~ , .a t neloubtedly competent to any of those Powers to protest, in the only effectual way amongst great nos ~ lions, against her retaining the acquisition. But we doubt the policy of such a measure. The injury t to 1 1 , outer States is of so problematical a nature, that i• ; rj cannot he worth the while to make it the subject of ' - war.--Times. , • The political ' schism between the southern and e„: the northern provinces of Coloather, or, in othet ' words, the sepsretion of Car:kittens and the dis. [diets on the sea-coast from New Granada and tliti interior, of which the English public has been long tcj3, apprisek appears to us more s erious , and likely to 11 be more lasting, than w a s a t first imagined. This, , opinion we are led to f o rm from a carefal lespeetimi of the greet mass of decrees, manifestos, and ()thee , expressions of public opinion, published at Camecas 7',4 since the declaretion of its independence, copies at el which now lie before us. We were certainly nor r less surprised at the: number of, these documents ~4. than at the resolute determination which they evinced to renounce the Colombian federation, and ~.; the Iniatility which they expressed to the per •,,,.1 son of Bolivar. Even , the titles of the pi publications to which, we allude would nearly '', • fill a rnlumn of our paper. It would ie. ~ retes t very few of our readers to learn the ~,.' contents of these political manifestoes or persinnil c. *quilts. ' In nearly all of them we find the gravest 1) 7 charges brought against the character, or the mmit, deep rooted suspicions expressed or the intentiotat at %liver.

Into any examine. Ation of the truth or falehood of these and similar , , h ic srges we .rannot now enter. We only mention 4 .1 them as proofs of the inveterate antipathy enter tained by the inhabitants on the coast to the Go i:1 vernment of the interior, and as grounds' for believe ' , fe/ ing that the " rent has reached the foundation" o. the Colombian union.-7lmer. • if 'i It is confidently said by the Ministerial papers that 11,1 GoVernment will be, strengthened by the result of the ensuing elections. Why it should be so we -,•-• cannot tell, seeing that Government was daily losing greirnd in the Session now expiring, and, at lest, had nearly come to a stand-still. It would, perhaps, o . A ~. lie difficult to point out any preceding Session, since I, England fi rst had a Parliament, in which both ' 4 lionses sat so many hours , 'and in which so little t i - ,,i public business was done. In fact, the historian will have nothing more to record than a series o. , abortive measures as the result of the sitting of the fgreat Council of the Nation from the beginning of Febrnary to the middle of July., ~ Even with, re ,,e *peat to that most pressing and essential busines.

Session, A new reign is always a season of promise and hope. The commenced went of the present reign has opportunely happened to enable the existing Administration to take roes- 1 4 r, guru vote to protract its existence. The of credit 1 gives a new impetus to the wheels of Government, F, i :., which had nearly stopped, and allows Ministers lei. il ' , l sure from the fatigues of the Parliamentary care. • • , '. paign, to endeavour to repair th e i r s h att ered re. E' sources by secret'matimuvres and political tactics, f: Such expedients may prolong the existence of their power for . a time, but the diflicultiee of the empire are still accumulating, and nothing can save the "• country but the honest arts of political wisdom and ~ public virtue. We cere not what the ' names of .„„ Ministers are—we look but to their fictions. We `'. judge them not by whet they profess, but by what ;., they perform, How magnificent were the promises 4f which they gave to the public at the commencement of the present 'Seseion in the Speech from the t Throne I _now have the anticipations which they 't::- excited been disappointed I They pledged themselves to retrenehnient and.economyt—they made a show • of sieving the public tnenty .in !small things, but `) they were, as reekless and prefe se e ee a ny of their predecessors in great matters. They pledged them selves to is thorough refovrn of the edmini,,triition (if justice;--they havesione nothintref the sort . lTi ey ..,. t h rie v i e r s p i a d t de riiedt Pr nirg eit e s sd W se e:t i tt l i ll ins tri ter ela l u rell w , hbl I i cl itt i l n ie t Y re l a ie s e e e B left the fountains of justice:as turbid and as irepere r - Ali if they never pretended to cleanse them. Th ey l' , protuised great reduction of taxes; yet every jets- L. rest in the country still groans beneath the weight oft t , intolerable tendon. We care 1101 what changes may take picric in any departments a the present Admi. . . eietration if there be not a change of measures ;—, such a change, we mean, as may relieve the country frem the pressure of its great and increasing difficul ties, by cutting away all extravagant expenditure, and thus enabling the taxes to be so 'reduced as to give the energies of the people an orpertnnity of Jollying; for confident we are that the energies of England are still as great lb ever, and that they only want the uid of h judicious policy to excite otree i more the rarmiration of the world. Of ,% , "ttitt con s-e'kuerice is it to the public lretil * cA • this or that re negade Tory or tecree n t Wh Ny ig barters his principles' for place or pelf The country is in that state that no Athninlstration can long sustain itself which doe.; not rely for its claim to support on vigorously honestly reforming the whole oyster?! a our finances, and enabling the industry Q the people to become 'as productive to thder the genial protection of a wise ,thweVlinent it assuredly would be. It is abH stied in the extreme to talk of free-trade systems while the industry of the people is shackled by an' enormous weight of taxation,, Whete industry is not free, trade, which is but the result of industry, cannot be Ike either. Taxation, by destroying the IndAtry and the comforts of the people, is not only impoverishing the country, lint producing at the same time the most 'delboralising effects. Let the elections turn out tth they will, an Administration which re, Neves the industry of the people from the htltden of it war taxation, and introduces salittitry reforms into all the branches of the ftte, can alone obtain that confidence mid support of the public which is strongt than the votes of obsequious majorities.— Morning Herald. Mr. Brougham moved lest bight A tilsohnion, " that the House wail& ht tlie earliest practicable period, take into 'consideration the most effectual meows 'of inikatitig the condition of the slave po pulation ih our colonies, and finally of abolishing: shivery altogether; and that they woojd Ibithet• take' into consideration the state of the West India co lonies, with a view te filbert& the administration o. justice in the taiA colonies." The people of Eng lam, 'are heavily taxed for the purpose of enabling the West India interest, as it is called—that is, the mortgagees of estates in the West Indies—to live splendidly in London, Bristol, &c 9 oh the proceeds of estates cultivated at a loss by slave labour, and evidently at a great eXpence of misery to the tailor... tunate slaves, 'When we have been tol of the hapt' piness of the slave pop u l a ti on in o ur W rest Indian colonies, we have always listened with incredulity, since the fact first transpired that the slave popult! don regularly diminished in numbers, Mr. Brougham last night laid great stress on this point : " If (said he) he were to take two tests er criteria of public happiness—two that it would be impossible should deceive---it would be the progress of the population, and the state of morals of a nation. All speculative theorises pira'otical Statesmen, agreed that these were the beat 'I tests that could be regatta to. They all agreed that the' principle of population was so strongly ithplanted by Iture for the wisest , of all purposes, that it was of so Ipowerfulaof to resistless a force—that whenever the umbel of a people were seen to decline, it might be i taken as a matter of certainty, that they were uncom 'fortable and unhappy." Mr. Brougham then proceeded I to observe, " That if they excepted Ilarbadoes from the :itnber of old colonies, they wettid find, that out of a population of 30,000 negroes, the decrease between the years 1818 and 1821, was no less than 84,000." • This decrease only takes place in the case Ol slaves. Barbadoes is an exception. There the slaves increase in number as well as the coloured and free blacks. And why is this ? Because Ihiubadoes cannot compete with the new colonies in raising sugar for the turopean market, and the slave is there more like the domestic servant of Europe, employed in ministering to the various wants of the family. As, far 119 humanity is concerned, it would-seem, that he sooner the European capitalists cease to find (heir account in upholding, by loans to planters, the present slave driving system, the sootier may wH hope to see the slaves treated with kindness. Before the colonists complain of the- charge of inhumanity . 'brought against them, it is incumbent on them to' explain satiNfactorily how the slaves deeresie in ,numbers, It is clear that the decrease must be °cert. 'killed, either by harsh treatment or by the unheulthi. lesi of the occupation. Something may be owing to he excess of males over females in the new Colo- Hies, into which the importations (chiefly males), prier. to the abolition of the, slave trade, were greatest. no even in Berbice and Demerara the females begin' now nearly to equal the males. In Berbice the male slaves in 1829 were 11 ; 152, the females 9,481. /n Demerara the nudes in 1829 were 37,092, the females 32,276. This excess of males will not account for the 'excess of deaths over births in the ratio of 5,724 to 1,679. The occupation of the slaves must be un favourable to life. When, therefore, the West India interest speak of their sufferings, we must bear in mind that their sufferings and the sufferings of the blacks are not identical. tits long as the hope of profit will tempt capitalists to lend money to planters with a view to consignment of sugar, so long, we fear, will the slave be stacd• ticed without compunction. 'rho existence - 'Of the slave trade, too, adds to the sufferings of the doses in our own colonies, because in the foreign colonies it is cheaper to buy a slave, and work him out, than to keep up a native population; and Our planters, in their competition with the planters of Cuba, &c., are induced to work their slaves more ij severely than they might otherwise feel disposed to do. Some how or other the English have never done themselves much credit by their West India colo nies. The French at an early period had in their colonies all the arta of life and their towns abounded even with ornaments. Air. Charles Mackenzie ob serves, in his instructing and amusing Notes an ; Haiti, that there were in Pott-an-Prince two book= sellers' shops, well furnished;, while in our Oldest aolony, containing a large white. population, Barba does, he did not find a single bookseller's shop.. But the French set out on the principle of preventing mortgages, which give a nominal proprietory on the spot, tasking the slaved to satisfy the real owners by Enrope.—The motion was lost by a division of 5(3 to 27.—0 f mule the subject will he resumed when the new Parliament meets.--Morning Chronicle. A subject was incidentally mentioned last in the House of Commons, respecting which the • conduct of the blovernment deserves every praise— wo mean the distressed state of the people of Ire land, with which every one must sympathize who has perused the accounts which have lately been published, of the numerous deaths which have " occurred in that country from actual starvation.— The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he had received numerous copies of the evidence taken on Coroners' !quests to which such verdicts were at-, tuched ; and the Secretary of State for the Houle Department, in Answer to a question put to him by Lord Killeen, stated that it was not the intention of • Government to propose any public vote for the relief of the distress. A discussion then 'ensued on the t comparative advantage of cultivating home lands, mid encouraging emigration to other countries, ‘vhich, as it led to no definitive result, we slinil,not notice more particularly; but it would be a Jere ' fiction of our public ,duty, as faithful chroniclers and commentators, not to add our mite of op- prohiurn to the senonce of condemnation uni versally passed upon the conduct of the Irish Nobility and Gentry, for drawing from their , country every shilling which their property pro duces, and leaving the miserable cultivators of itb , soil to die of actual hunger. Their conduct is not to be spoken of in measured termsi nor, indeed, in any terms which the English language snpplies. There is abundance of meanness, of jobbing for places, and sycOphancy to the powers, that be, in 'this country.; but there is also, on the whole, a stratum of honesty, of fair dealing,' anti of sympathy with distress, between superior and inferior.-7be tweet rich and poor—between the proprietor and the tenant—the farmer and the sub-lessee and Maurer, of which, to its disg,Ttice, we find no trace in t t u l i i i e ep am a r i ai sditied L elastes of s T o h ci e e r t e y , , w it l i t s h ontleie vastexe e se t s t e . t: f ! led misery, on the one hand laid 91' ußpit r.alleled pride, and ikifiihness ' andunpityingrice on the other.

It is affirmed to-day that a great number of elec tors have brought forward Admiral Duperre as a 'candidate for the first arrondissement of Paris. It cannot be doubted that the majority of votes be given to a candidate who has just acquired so great a claim to the estetn and gratitude of his fel low-citizens. Honourable Men, whatever may be their opinions, should be eager to concur in the fl)ination, which is a national recompense worthy of l''rance, and of him whose talents and courage have 'so well supported the rights and glory of his country. (From the lliessager des Chambres of Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 10.—It is said that the reports of the General-in-Chief brought by the Surprise, which arrived at Toulon on the Gtb, having left Sidi Fer man on the 30th ult., have been received to-day at Paris; but it is supposed they will he only pub lished along with those of the taking of Algiers. The Spb y jnx steam-boat, which arrived at Toulon on the 9th, brought a report detailing this great event. The Maritime Prefect extracted from it the lines which he sent by telegraph to Paris. France will soon know what result she has to expect from the expedition of Africa. All is now done, if our only end was to obtain satisfaction of a barbarian, and humiliate the pride of Hussein Pacha ; but much remains to be done in order to finish what victory has begun, if the Government intends to reap some lasting advantage from the triumph of our arms. The public opinion was not favourable to the ek pedition of Algiers. It has been said that the . Ministers contracted a most shameful engagement with England to evacuate Africa as soon as we should have attained the object of our expedition; ►nd we are not aware that the truth of this repurt has been positively denied. The English Ministers have publicly declared that they had received the most satisfactory explanations on the subject from. our Government ; and every one knows, that in .natter• of this kind, when Lord Wellington is pleased, France has reason to be alarmed. This anxiety increased when we saw the Ministry in its official publications ground the claims of France on the most ridiculous pretensions, formal!► denied by those very treaties which were called forth to support them, instead of openly following the fundamental maxims of the law of nations,, ac knowledged in all civilized countries. The right of conquest is a natural consequence of the right or war, and if the war is just, the conquest is no less so. In the present case, could any other conse•i quence than the permanent possession of the Fie• Aeney result from the occupation of Algiere? Cer tainly nobody will require of us to rebuild with our own hands the infamous and barbarous Government ivhich has been constantly at war with the law of nations for 300 years : their live' and means of n•nnsport to Turkey—such is all we owe to the , Dey and his Janissaries who have surrendered at discretion. It would be absolutely absurd to think of aban• Toning the coast of Africa to the empire of the na tives, now freed from the yoke of the Turks, thou' oppressors. It would have been much better ever to allow things to subsist as they were than come to such a resolution. The Algerines forma mixture of 20 nations, different from their origin, customs, and language, and present no element whatever o. regular.poliiical Government. To allow them ti govern themselves, would be giving fitly scope. to, disorders without end ; it would be giving new acti vity to piracy. We should have abolished a legal and well-organised. piracy, subjected to certain rules and limit s; an d i n its stead we should establish in dividual pi racy , with all its train of atrocity, b10p..4- shed, and imp un ity. The war whi c h h as j us t be e n terminated so glo riously f or our arms can t h ere f ore h ave no o th er pos.,i sible result than the definitive occupation of the ter.l ritory of Algiers, so as to become a colony rk France. The public waits very anxiously till the Go vernment shall decide the question by manifetitir4 'lie same opinion. The first news from the . Oily 'will probably let us know what will be done . ot this point ; all doubt will be dissipated if we leant' that the Dey is formally dethroned, that the Tull:- ifsh militia will he soon, sent to their native country, and. that.detachments of our fleet have,been sent to Oren, Bona, and Boagi, in: order that the King''. stithority may be acknowledged on all the coast. We shall then see that the Ministers understand what the honour of the nation requires of them, and that the instructions given to the General-in- Chief are free from all foreign influence. The military question is now decided by the con quest of Algiers. All the forces of the Regency,: ell its means of domination over the interior of the country were assembled on that point. Nothing. is to be feared from the Arabs ; they will submit with ;oy to the domination of a humane and generous victor. The only line of conduct to observe in re gard to them, is to respect their 'manners, customs, and religious opinions,—to allow them, as the Turks 'did, to be governed according to their habits, and by chiefs chosen amongst their tribes, keeping to . ourselves only the political and military government. A vigilant pa liee,--7-justice administered with promptitude, seve rity, and impartiality,--the-abolition of the absurd monopolies which fettered commerce and industry— such a line of conduct will soon make the natives cherish the domination of France : the shepherds and labourers who sought 'for en asylum on the top of the Atlas against the insolence end' the rapacity of the Turks,. will Soon bring back life and fbrtility in those beautiful. vallies that the most ignorant and de graded-despotism had condemnedloinerilityi Montetiquiett says, that the righttif Conquest is necessary, legitimate, and nnfortunate right, which always leaves, behind it an enormous debt to be cc-' quitted in order to satisfy homanity, In the,present occasion. the debt of. France consists in diffusing the light of civilization in Africa, and, thank God, she is very able to do it. We hope that nobody will' oppose her in this noble mission,-or it' least will du it without effect.--Commerce.

M. dp Polignac Wishei to frighten the,Chainber, but let him not be mistaken; the cowards are not, in the majority,—a great people fears no one. But it is said that if the Chamber refuses to rote the budget, the faction will have recourse to the famous coups d'elat. Well, we shall see them conH tending with the nation which has just given such a noble example of patriotism, and we shall see' them vainly struggling against the legal refusal of , the taxes. But let us be re-assured Royal wisdom will pre vent a set of .fools and intriguers from putting the- Throne into jeopardy, and tormenting the country. P.S. Whilst the above observations were in the hands of the printer, eve have received from so Many different quarters reports absolutely contrary, that we think it necessary to publish them as fol lows : On dit, that more than ever the faction intends to have recourse to acts of arbitrary power. On dit, that the Ministry is desirous of eluding the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies, elected by law and the nation. On dit, that M. de Polignac is determined to run all risks rather than meet again with the 221. On (lit, that he has offered to carry his head en the scaffold (as if it was threatened) rather than yield to the re-elected. On dit, that the elections already made are to be annulled. By whom ? By M. de Polignac; that those which have not yet been made ate to be ad journed; and by what law ? By the omnipotence of the President of the Council. On dit, that in consequence of a report which it to be made by the Presidents of the great Colleges which have terminated their operations, and from whence it will be found that the Ministerial electors have been oppressed by the Constitutional electors, the Chamber of Peers will be charged with making a new electoral law. It is added, however, that all the,Peers will not have a share in manufacturing thi, pretended law, but only those who will be chosen by M. de Polignac. On dit, that this famous law has been made be fore-hand, and its object will be to assemble in end. department a hundred persons amongst those whi. pay the highest taxes, to elect the representatives of the nation, under the orders of the prefects. On dit, that measures have been taken to enforce the execution of all these acts of violence, whist ire not called acts of the Royal pleasure, but Po lignac acts.

HANOVER, JUNE 22.—The differences between our Court and the Duke of Brunswick do not seen to be'wholly adjusted, us the Duke has not revoketi the first edict 'complained of in the form required of him, and has not affixed his signature to it. Then have been some debates on the subject in the Die!, ,and several of the members are said to have required that the proclamation enjoined by the Diet shall hr drawn up in the most precise and:positive terms, ind that only those edicts shall be mentioned in it which refer to Hanover, it being considered as join im proper to to the revocation of the offensive die! 'decisions respecting things of no importance. But the Duke is said to have declared that he will not con descend to make any more concessions, and isfirml ) resolved to .make no change in the terms of the ortii• Fiance.' We are here very, anxious for the termini). tion of this aff a ir. Should the king of England re. cover, the negotiations must begin again; should be 'sink under the-disorder with which he is attacked, it is probable that all parties will endeavour to luny the affair in'oblivien as soon as possible. It is said that Prince William, who is a major in the Prussia), service, intends to leave the army, and has with than view obtained a furlough. LEGENDAEY HIS CORY OF ENGLAND The connexion thenceforward subsisting be• tween Wales and Britanny, contributed to intro duce the legendary history of the Britons into a conspicuous station in the heroic fables of Europe. Arthur, who in the sixth century appears to have ruled over the Britons of Cornwall, and to hay. made a brave and often successful struggle against the invaders, , became in process of titer' one of the darling heroes of those fictions it prose and verse which, under the name of ro mances, produced the first materials of origin sl poetry among the modern 'nations: His tar n was communicated to the Carlovingian empi+ by the Armoricans. It was in a subsequent agit more widely spread by the Norman minstrels, who exulted in the renown of the chief of that adopted country. •They seem' first to hate eft; grafted his name on those tales of descent from the Trojans, in , which the western provincials, before the fall of the empire, claimed a share of the fabulous pedigree of their conquerors, and which the most enlightened nations of Europi continued to tolerate till the seventeenth centurf, The ' glory of one of the last champions , ,. Christendom against ferocious pagans was allu4 ing to ingenious fablers. The absence of att thentic particulars set free their fancy ; actions seen in so dim a twilight put on the size /1.4 shape which best. pleased the poet; and tl4 wonders of mythology, which always graduall withdraw . before the advance of civilizati o n i , found a natural last retr ea t i n t h e most r te' mote regions of weste r n Europe. To these ei it may probably ri eumstances, or to som e o f, them, . be ascribed that, in a few 'centuries, a Cornistt or Welsh chieftain came to share the popularit of Charlemagne himself. The historical na . of the great ruler of the Franks has, perhapi, borrowed a brighter lustre from the hero* leqends with which it Was l on g surrounded.
