the one hand, and the support which they drive on
the other ; but take away the causes which give than
improper patronage, take away the nouessity of appli-
cations for place ; you will have the public interests
attended to, and the welfare of the community prefer-
red to the little feelings of individual interest. We
wish not to shake the foundation of landed property,
nor to detract from it, its proper weight in the scale of
estimation. It should have a proportion of influence,
corresponding to its real importance towards the hap-
piness of the state ; but beyond this, it should have
nothing.

In txmcbnion, We entreat the people is persevere—•
to be moderate—to' be calm—to consult the nation's
safety—and their childrens freedom—and by acting in
unison together, they must inevitably succeed.

The Gennese ship Mitericordia, having been plun-
dered by the late I)cy of Al,;iers of considerable pro-
perty, awl at the same time the Genoese Vice-Consul
being treated with great indignity, and dismissed fermi
Algiers, a complaint was made to the British Govern-
ment of this oatrage, in direct violation of the treaty
which had been concluded with Algiers by Admiral
Lord Exmouth. On this eel retentation the Spartan
frigate, commanded by Captain Wise, was dispatched
to demand an explunatitm, and to remonstrate against
these violent proceedings. She returned a few days
ago to Plymouth, where she still remains under guar-
nantine on anount of the phtgue that was raging at
Algiers. Captain %Vise has been completely successful
ir. the object of his misshat. Immediately on his ar-
rival he entered, m conjunction with his Majesty's
Consul, into a negotiation with the Dev ; the result of
which was, the payment of :0,000 dollars us a com-
pensation for the property plundered on hoard the Mi.
scricordia, and an unqualified disavowal, on the pan
of the reigning bey, of the act oi" his predecessor (who
iiel of the plague on the Ist March), in sending away
from Algiers !he Vice-Consul of his Sardinian Majesty.
No violence appears to have been committed on the per.
sons of any of his Majesty's subjects, as was stated in
the French papers.
The celebrated Madame Manson is reconciled to her
family, who consider her conduct at Albi a sufficient
atonement fur the errors committed at Modes. Con-
ceiving herself released, since the execution ofJausion,
from her engagement of secrecy, she now positively
asserts him to be one of those who took an active part
in the assassination of Fualdes. Her evidence upon
the new trial which is about to take place will, it is
expected, disclose some very interesting and circum-
stantial particulars respecting this horrid transanien,
The woman Rascal has received a respite during plea-
sure, having, it is said, made a full confession of all
the circumstanees attending the murder. Iler disco-
veries, exclusive of their serving to fi,rin the basis of
the indictments against the accomplices now in custody.
throw such light upon the conduct of those who has-,
already setlitred, as leaves no doubt of their guilt, and
deprives them of all ,claim to the commiseration of man-
kind. .lausion, who was previously supposed to have,
with reluctance and timidity, struck the first blow,
was, according to flamers account, more deficient in
dexterity than in strength and inclination to perpetrate
the murder. Instead of using the point, he endeavourd
to dispatch Fualdes with the edge f,f his poignanl.—
Bastide, indignant at his awkwardness, snatched .th,
daror from his hand, and with a ferocious smile es-
clattned.—" Why the d—l do you go to work so? Lee

The discoveries of Bancal deeply implicate Bessicra
Veynae and the notary Fence. it is said,
evinced a disposition to reveal all he knew of the *disk,
previous to his execution, but was prevented by the
dread of his intended discoveries sending his chcec umie,
Anne Benoit, to the scatlidd. .
