LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY IS, 1830.

. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

We are happy to observe, by the following
bulletin, that his MAJESTY'S health is improv-
ing. We have been informed from private sources
that the KING has rallied within the last few days
considerably beyond the most sanguine hopes
and expectations of his medical advisers.

The following is the Bulletin issued this day
" Windsor Castle, May IS.
" The KING has passed a tranquil night. His MA.
JltsTY's symptoms are all alleviated.

The expedition against Algiers would, ac-
cording to the French Papers, sail on Sunday
last, and the curiosity of Europe will daily be-
come more intense till the news of its first opera-
tions be received. The following are extracts :
(From the Messager des Chainbres.)
TOULON, MAY 9.—The Magicienne frigate, Captain
Beguet, arrived yesterday from Brest ; the corvette Trieste,
from Cherbourg, has just cast anchor. The Cicogne brig
arrived this morning from Navarin, which it left en the
stli of April.
On the 11th, at five o'clock in the morning, the com-
panies of artillery and of engineers, and the 200 horses
assigned to the 10 vessels which will form part of the first
division of the convoy which escorts the army, will begin
to embark. The Captains ef companies are especially en-
joineel to take all the requisite measures that this embark-
ation may be affected in the best order possible.
The Spll,ateam boat has brought the intelligence
that the Adi tf•Vorretta-Chica, which seems well suited
for the landing of troops, is now defended by several bat-
teries. sinoe the Algerines have suspected that the land-
lag might be made at that point, they have shown great
diligence in strengthening the means of defence. This
circumstance is, perhaps, favourable to the plans of the
Government, which, it is said, intends to have a false at-
tack made at Torretta-Chica, while the troops land at
some other point that is without defence. Torretta-Chica
has been too much talked of to allow a belief that it can
he the place chosen for the landing, fur the plans of mili-
tary operations are arranged with more secrecy.
1 learn by the Diligente corvette, the arrival of which
from Alexandria I have announced to you, and which was
sent in pursuit of a corvette, supposed to be an Algerine,
but
which afterwards appeared to be Egyptian, that there
are some Algerine corvettes and brigs at Alexandria, which
they dare not leave fur fear of being captured by the
French vessels cruising in the Mediterranean.
The orders for embarkation are given. The first divi-
sion embarks on the 1 1 th, the artillery on the 12th, the
second division on the 13th, the third on the 14th and
loth. The delay of the two ships of the line from Brest
renders it necessary to leave on shore a battalion of the
34th. The cavalry, which is to arrive on the 13th, will
Wait for orders at Beaus:el. The fleet will probably sail
en the 16th.
PARIS, MAY 14.—A Dutch corvette arrived at Toulon
en the 9th, having sailed a few days before to Algiers to
fetch the Consul of the Netherlands and take him to
Mahon- The Dey replied to the Captain of the corvette
that he would rot permit any body to leave Algiers ; he
also sent him orders to sail again.
The Journal du Commerce gives the following par-
ticulars relative to the African expedition :—The news
from Alexandria have been expected with impatience, in
order that people might form an idea as to whether the
Viceroy would co-operate in an expedition to Africa. We
have received from that city letters of a recent date (9th
April), but we are sorry to say that they do not contain a
Word Upon the subject. Our preceding letters were dated
in the commencement of March, and the fleet was then
about to sail. Our correspondent mentions the expected
departure of the corvette La Diliyente, which is to
bring back M. Pariset to Toulon ; and, as his letter
reaches us through that port, we presume that the _Dili-
gente has arrived there, though our correspondence from
that place does not make arty mention of it.
A telegraphic despatch, which arrived yesterday, and
which was immediately expedited to the King at St.
Cloud, announces that the first division of the expedi-
tionary army had embarked, and that the embarkation of
the second had begun.
The illustrious M. Potter, who has been banished from
Brussels, will not find an asylum in our generous France.
We hear from Paris that the Prefect of the department
du Pas de Calais has received orders to send beyond the
lirni4 of his department the defender of the Catholic li-
berties of the Netherlands, if lie should seek refuge in
Artois, It is added, that a similar order has been sent to
the other northern departments of France.—Propagateur
du Pas de Calais.
The American packet-boat France has just sailed from
Havre, for New York, having on board the French Am-
bassador, and 110 farmers from Wirtemberg to A'sace.
The last accounts from St. Petersburgh, received at
Heflin, mention that the Emperor Nicholas would set out
in the early part of May for Warsaw, where he is ex-
pected to arrive about the 20th. A courier has been
despatched to General Paskewitsch d'Erivan, Command-
ant of the army in chief of Georgia, with, it is said, the
order that all the necessary preparations ahould be made
for the definitive incorporation of the Pachaliks of Bay-
azid and Erzeroum to the Rossian empire, by virtue of a
new convention concluded between the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh and that of Constantinople.
(From the Gazette de France of Saturday.)
Panrs MAY 14.—There is no truth in what is said
by the Journals of has morning that the English Admiral
ha.s sailed for Algiers with five ships of the line and two
Ttt,ers. The rendezvous of the English fleet is Palma Bay.

in which somebody says to a lover, " you are now then
resolved to marry the young person ? In that case every
body is agreed about your marriage; you may consider
the matter as settled ; nothing is now wanting but the
consent of the lady." This is the exact situation of
Prince Leopold with respect to his new Sovereignty. The
English journals have just informed us, that the three
Allied Powers have at length agreed together, and that
the Prince himself has put an end to his tedious indeci-
sion;—thus every body being agreed, we may consider
the affair as settled ; nothing is wanting but the assent of
Greece.
This is a very pleasant scene of a comedy : for we are
to-day informed that the Senate has recognized the proto-
cols of London, and Prince Leopold as Sovereign. The
National was equally unfortunate in announcing lately
that M. de Varennes was gone to Constantinople to hinder
the Sultan from accepting the Protocols. On the very
day that this news was published, it was known at Paris
that the Sultan had ratified all the arrangements relative
to Greece.

CARACCAS, MARCH 2.—M. Ravenga has been ba-
nished from Venezuela. He embarked at La Guayra for
Curactm. M. Ravenga has much contributed to re-
store the credit of the Republic abroad, and would have
done more had not the present revolution destroyed his
plans.

The Halifax Mail has brought us Papers
from Hamilton (Bermuda) to the end of March.
The Session of the Colonial Legislature had
been commenced, on which occasion the Go-
vernor delivered the following Speech :

MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISI.A..

TIME COUNCIL; MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN

OF THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

I have great satisfaction in again meeting you in your
official capacities, and I look forward to your cordial
assistance in whatever may tend to the prosperity of the

colony.

MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF

ASSEMBLY,

The account of the receipt and disbursements of the
Public Revenue will be laid before you, and I rely upon
your good feeling and judgment in making such further
provision, for the public service, as may he deemed advise-
able in the present circumstances of the Colony.
I have still sanguine hopes that in the arrangement of
commercial concerns, between Great Britain and the
United States, the Bermudas will derive benefit ; and I am
certai❑ that the exemplary good conduct so manifest in all
classes of the community, under several privations, will be
favourably considered by the mother country.

bIR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLA-
TIVE COUNCIL; DIR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN

OF THE ASSEMBLY,

I am fully persuaded your zeal and diligence will give full
and immediate attention to such necessary acts as require
renewal, and with a view to improvement in several points
that have lately been made the object of Local Legislative
enactments, I shall, by his Majesty's command, cause to be
laid before you sundry reports from the Lords of his Ma-
jesty's Privy Council, and observations from the Secretary
of State for the Colonies on several Acts of the late Ses-
sion of the Colonial Legislature, and en other matters to
which it is my duty to direct your attention.

The arguments put forth against the claims
of the Jews were, mutatis tnutandis, exactly
the same as have been used for a series of years
against those of the Catholics anti Dissenters.
We used to be told that justice could not be
done, because the Constitution was essentially
Protestant ; but the phrase is now changed,
and made applicable to the Jews by saying, the
Constitution is essentially Christian. Be the
Constitution essentially what it may—be it a
thing actually existing, or (as Lord ELDON
contends) a thing that has passed away ;
whether it was framed at some definite pe-
riod, such as 1688, or consists of no-
thing more or less than; the laws which may
happen to be in force at a given time—it is, un-
fortunately for its- reputation, constantly referred
to as a justification for oppression and wrong.
It is the same with our religion as with our Con-
stitution ; for we are told that to treat the Jews
as we should wish, under similar circumstances,
to be treated ourselves, is making an inroad
.upon Christianity ; the more so, since according
to General GASCOYNE, it is a part of Christian
duty never to forget injuries, but to revenge our-
selves when an opportunity offers, upon the
descendants of those by whom our ancestors
have, in times past, been ill used.
Sir ROBERT PEEL must surely have felt
himself humiliated in uttering such frivolities as
that about the Jews being a distinct race, and
not fit for amalgamation with the rest of the na-
tion. As well might it be contended that the
Welsh or Cornishmen are a distinct race, and
therefore not entitled to participate in the Go-
ernment which the more numerous race of
Anglo-Saxons have set up in this island. It
concerns us nothing from what stock the Jews
sprung, from what country they came, or to
what country they expect to return. We
make them pay their share of the public
burthens, we excuse them from some of the
public duties incumbent on other citizens—we
allow them not to legislate for their own body,
or in any manner to govern themselves—and
yet we refuse them admission to offices and to
Parliament. A man born in England, of French
parents, enjoys every right which the Jews ask
for, though it may be said, with as much reason,
that such a man contemplates a return to the land
of his fathers, as that the Jews contemplate the
revisitation of Palestine. Besides, if they, as
Jews, look for this re-establishment as a nation,
we as Christian's, may, with equal consistency, look
to their conversion to Christianity. The argu-
ments drawn from the disabilities of the Quakers
is equally ridiculous,—as if, because we declare
that an oath shall be taken by those whose con-
science forbids them to take it, it is any justifi-
cation for imposing upon a Jew a declaration
upon a faith which lie does not entertain.
We have racked our brains, and hunted about
diligently, for any substantial reasons which
might have influenced the Government in the

7 /0. • •

course adopted by them with regard to Mr.
GRANT'S Bill. Being wholly unable to fall
upon any; we applied, in our dilemma, to an
Ultra-Tory friend, who suggested three con-
siderations, which he thought of such im-
portance, that if they had been forcibly urged on
Tuesday:night, they must, he was convinced,
have greatly swollen the majority. They are,
first, that the Jews are fond of money ;
secondly, that they deal in old clothes ; and
thirdly, that they wear long beards. These facts
our Tory Friend, viewed as decisive of the ques-
tion ; and we readily admit there is more weight
in them than iu any of the arguments advanced
in the House of Commons.

We, nevertheless, hope that Mr. GRANT will
persevere in this Bill year after year, until the
Government shall be shamed out of its oppo-
sition. Perseverance has carried measures of
greater importance, as well as greater difficulty,
than the relief of the Jews, and whose
success appeared at a far greater distance from
the time of the first attempt being made. Let the
Jews continue to petition, as well as those
numerous Christians in all parts of the
country who are friendly to the great cause
of civil and religious liberty, and we predict
that the Cabinet, even if its composition remain
the same, will view the question with very dif-
ferent eyes. It will in due time see the folly of
attempting to prop up the Church, by persecut-
ing a small band who are as indisposed as they
are impotent to subvert it,—and the injustice of
depriving men of their civil rights on account of
their religious opinions.
The numbers on the division were, 165 for
the second reading, and 228 against it—leaving
a majority of only 63—a number so small, that
we shall not be surprised to see the tables turned
next Session.
