their fair share of taxation. Every attempt on the

round the Government the rest of the country. How

in particular had to throw on the altar of justice the
• sacrifice of its ease, and the fruits of its extraordi-
nary toil, in addition to the more common offering
of its integrity and knowledge. 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.

" 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 attention was paid to
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 Arabian 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

would have done us much harm; it would not cer-
tainly have prevented us from attaining our object,
