GERMAN PAPERS.
HAIIIBURGII, ♦UGUs? 24.
The following is an extract from • private letter
from Algiers of June 24:
On the let of this month the combined Belgic
and Spanish squadron arrived in the roads, bringing
the Uhintorstme of the Spanish Government, rela-
tively to the sum which the Regency of Algiers
claims from Spain. It also brought orders to the
Spanish Conant, immediately to quit Algiers. The
Dey, in answer, declared that he would not change '
his resolution, and th■t he would insist, to the last
moment, that Spain should pay its debt, which,
together with the compound interest, amounts to
1,300,000 Spanish dollars. The Consul desired,
in consequence, leave to embark with his suite,
which was positively refused him. The squadron
having withdrawn fora time, appeared 'gain in the
Bay on the 6th. The Spanish Consul then desired
leave to go on board the Admiral's ship, in order
to have a conference with the Commander-in-Chief,
which was granted him, and it was the Captain of
the Port himself who was charged with the office of
taking him on board in an Algerine boat. Two boats
lent from the Admiral's ship having approached that
which the Consul was, be leaped into one of them
?before his conductor had time to hinder it; when ha
.sad thus escaped, Abe squadron mailed and withdrew.
This madden departure of the Consul caused great

LOIDON.
TUESDAY, S, Riess 3, Isee.

Earl BATIDEST sailed on Saturday from Dover
for Calais. The Duke Of WELLINGTON, con-
trary to general rumour, remains at home, and
attended yesterday at his. office in the Ordnance.
A presumption thence arises that the Noble Earl
is destined to supply the place of the late Marquis
of LONDONDERRY at Congress.

A farewell dinner was given to Mr. CANNING by
his friends and constituents at Liverpool on Friday
last, a full report of which will be found in another
part of our Paper. The speech delivered by the
Right Hun. Gentleman on this occasion was in his
best and happiest style. It seems to have been in-
tended to convey an apology or explanation of the
principles that have marked his political career,
but beyond this it may be received us a fair spe-
cimen of the character of his mind and of his pe-
culiar talents as au orator, for it is eminently dis-
tinguished by the playful elegance of expression
and felicity of illustration that bare established his
celebrity as a public speaker.
In this speech Mr. CANNING has alluded more
distinctly than at the former dinner to the stale
of public affairs, and to the rumours which would
assign to him a seat in the Cabinet as the successor
of the Marquis of LONDONDIRRY. Upon this
point the Right Hon. Gentleman affected to be
exceedingly explicit, but with respect to the ar-
rangement of office he professed to be wholly un-
informed, and his personal wishes he most dutifully
referred to the decision of the KING and Cabinet.
His words, however, as they are reported, are de-
serving of particular notice—

" It is not for me to presume that I should be in any de-
gree concerned is inch arraagements, nor to do any thing
which should appear to imply such a presumption. I have,
therefore, neither proposed to defer this meeting with my
coestituents, filed, as you know, many months ago ; wor
have I suspended utypreparattous for departure ; nor have
I stay ground, beyond those which lie open in common to me
and to all the world, for apprehending that that departure is
likely to be intercepted. It will not be expected of me
that I should say easy thing of what might, Is a contrary
suppositios, be the decision which It would become use to
form. I can only declare, with the most perfect sincerity,
that such a decision would be formed by me opon an
honest and impartial review of milk considerations abate,
and would be determined, nee by a calm/allow rimy in-
terests, but upon a below, of us, duties."

It is not very difficult to collect from this passage
in Mr. CANNING's speech, that although he has
not hitherto "suspended his preparations for depar-
ture," to India, he yet would not absolutely reject
a proposition which might offer to him the oppor-
tunity of holding the seals of the Foreign Office,
accompanied by the proud glories of parliamentary
triumphs.
if the alternative of oriental dignity on the one
hand, and of office at home on the other, were sub.
mitted to him, we cannot doubt, as he takes the
trouble to aumre us, that his " decision would be
formed upon an honest and impartial review of
publieconsiderations" alone, sod that he would be de-
termined not by any thing so contemptible us consi-
deration of his personal " interests"—" but upon a
balance of his duties ;" but we should not think
him very censurable if his judgment were eventually
to decide that the welfare of his country would be
better promoted by his remaining in England, and
assisting the Council by his wisdom, than if he were
to cross the seas for the Purpose of controlling the
destinies of our Indian empire. We strongly sus-
pect that the whisperings of early ambition would
prompt Mr. CANNING to accept the high distiac.
Lion of being the Chief Secretary for Foreign Af-
fairs, to which, undoubtedly, his talents entitle him
far beyond any individual of the same party, but
will not speak plainly upon so delicate a topic ; and
while he complains in one part of his speech
that his silence at the former dinner was
misconstrued, as if he ostentatiously abjured
office at home," he expresses • hope in another

• ....-
#
tr4* they not be considered, in Consequence
- • -Inid fallen from him on this occasion, ss
elfpreasins an anxiety fir a seat io the Cabioet.—
We are 1101 aware that any coostruction had been
put upon the silence or the words of Mr. CAN.
lento, such as he seems to have apprehended, nor
are there, we believe, many persons in the country
who would attribute to him at any time an nnwil.
lingoes. to accept of office ; but if such an im.
pression ever prevailed in any snorter, this last
speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman will ao doubt
effectually remove it.

We suet confess that we 0141 suspect the pre.
sent Cabinet to be more than ordinarily deficient
in common sense, if in their existing emergency
they should decline to take advantage of Mr.
CANNING'S talents. It is, indeed, very possible
that some aeon them may think that he Meg
these talents at too high a price, and that however
desirous they may feel of having the benefit sf
them upon occasion of a hard-fought field in Par.
figment, they would yet be unwilling to porchsse
them by making their proprietor one of the prin.
cipal Secretaries of State. Bat who are they that
affect to seta vales upon Mr. Cgootwo? What \
higher claim does any member of the Cabinet pas.
Bess to a high and efficient office ? Compared with
him they sink for the most part into utter insigni-
ficance, and be would undoubtedly betray his con
respectability if he were to join their party a)
second in official rank to any of them.

The Paris Papers •up In Saturday have arriv.
ed, but they bring no later intelligence from Cop.
staeinople than that given in their preceding
num`:ers. The trials of the Rochelle and Count.
plots are in progress. The reports of the proceed-
ings nearly fill the columns of these Papers. The
Members of the ensuing Congress are already in
motion for their destination. All the Sovereign
who mean to attend it will meet at Verona early in
the next month. The intelligence from Madrid
comes down to the YOth !mt. The Queen coo.
tinkles dangerously ill.

We have received Germau Papers to the 24th
last. The long existing dispute between Spain
and Algiers is likely to terminate in war. The for-
mer Power having recalled its Consul, and the Dry
having refined purports, the Spanish consul made
his escape, not in a very dignified style. This war
would operate a favourable diversion for the Greeks.
a great part of the Algerine naval force being now
employed against them. An article, dated the 4th
August, from Ode's., contains intelligence frees
Constantinople of the Ist, but it has no allusion to
the military operations between the Turks anti
Greeks. The Austria* Observer of the 18114 lgth,
■nd 20th, have no news whatever from Turkey.

The LORD Cusicst.Loa and the Ea►l of Lt.
witatioot. had audiences of his Ma Jaen yesterday.
We learn that the Big Warrior. with the @dyke
of his council. has forbidden the Missionaries in the
nation to preach ; but allows theta to keep schools
for the instruction of his youthful subjects in the
various branches of useful learning. Like some of
his brother Monarchs in Europe, he seems karfol
of disturbing the established order of things.—
(Americas Paper.)

His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to be-
come the patrols of the Edinburgh Deaf and Da.)
Institution, so well as to present it with a donation
of ope hundred guineas. We understand that Sir
Wit. KNIGHTON, Bart. visited this inatittstioa last
week, at the express desire of hie roysl master.
To the handsome donations by his MAJESTY to the
public Institutions of Edinburgh, already men-
tioned, we are happy to add the following:—
To the Society for the support of Gaelie Schools (of AA
his Majesty has been graciously pleased to become ?strip)
owe ►undred guineas.
To the korai Public Diapeusary for the asp sad Cosily
of Edistiorgh, fifty relines.
Toth. New Town Dispensary, arty guise's.
To the Destitute Sick &witty, fifty guise's.
We understand that the LORD PROVOST and Ms-
gistrates, with the greatest attention to the neces-
sities of the tick and poor in the public establish-
ments, gave orders that the wine remaining after
the Banquet should be given in equal •hares to the
Royal Infirmary and the Destitute Sick Society,
and that the Irft should be given to the dif-
ferent workhouses, vrisoners in the gaol, &c. which
has been done accordingly.

Oa Tuesday, Mr. Atm), of Ayr, presented to
the Km, through the medium of the Right Hon.
the LORD JUSTICR CLERIC, a splendid Wintry
chair, formed out of the remains of the oaken rifle's
of Kirk Allowsy, which his MAJESTY was plesgil
to receive most graciously. The general design of
this valuable chair is after the manner of the enrich-
ed Gothic. On the front part of the back are
formed four crempartments, terminating in pointed
arches, and surrounded with appropriate carvings.
executed in a style of uncommon boldness and
beauty. In these are pliced as many tablets of
polished brass, havtng isp.cribed on them, at full
length, the well•known humorous and highly-
descriptive tale of " Tame IrShamier ;" *bile. on
the other side, is a clever painting by Staves. I."

Whiles crooning o'er some auld geots swaset.
Whiles glow ring r.'ua' ui prudent area,

Upon the whole, the gift which Mr. AUL. 1168 Pte'
seated to royalty reflects credit at the artists of the
west ; and we are happy to nadenttond that his
