FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.)
" The .3lessager, in its first edition, speaking of
the report of the intention of the members to defer
the election in some departments, says---.' If the
Ministry has really adopted this measure, it most
certainly can only be for its own interest. We be-
lieve it is to be found in the hope of getting a thou-
sand electors erased from the lists, by virtue of a
decision of the Court of Cassation, and by this di-
minution to inereese the chances of its candidates.
Secondly, as the elections in Paris, and in the de-
partments near the capital, are the first known, and
influence the great colleges, the Ministry, knowing
that within a certain boundary their defeat is certain,
would, by the ajournment, have an opportunity of
preventing the moral effect of the first ballotting on
those that would follow them.
" No doubt, if the Ministry acts in this manner,
it will repeat its fair words of legality, and declare
to us to-morrow, that it is to secure to all the citi-
zens the enjoyment of their rights, that the ordinance
has been issued. '
" At all events, if there is nothing illegal in thus
dividing the days for the assembly of the electoral
colleges, there is something sufficiently extraor-
dinary and unusual to cAll for categorical explana-
tions, drawn from some source different from Minis-
terial affirmation.

" SECOND EDITION.

" PARIS, JUNE 20, AT NOON.
" When we yesterday announced to our readers,
the adjournment of the elections in several depart-
ments, we were perfectly well informed.
The lifoniteur has thought necessary to explain
the ideas of the Ministry, in an article which we
insert word for word. We wish, without hoping,
that the lore of legality alone may have caused these
proceedings.
" The Prefect of the Seine has published the fol-
lowing notice :
" The meeting of the electoral colleges, which
was to take place at Paris on Wednesday next,
being put off till the 12th of July by a Royal or-
dinance of the 18th instant, the electors are in-
formed that the digribution of their cards is delayed.
" A fourth notice on this subject will be issued
to them.'
" In consequence of this measure, the budget of
the city of Paris will be burdened with an expense
of 10,000 francs for every additional day for the hire
of the apartments for the meeting of several colleges
of the department of the Seine.
" Messrs. Guilhem and Andigne de is Blanchaye
had made a complaint on account of the acts of vio-
lence employed towards them on the 6th of June.
This complaint inculpating public functionaries, it
was necessary that of all to lay it before the Counsel
of State.
" We have been assured that the Council of State
has just decided that there is no ground to authorize
legal proceedings.
" Glory to the Council of State—praise to the
legislation of the year 8 !"—Journal du Commerce.
(From the Moniteur.)
" It is rumoured that a Royal Ordinance will
shortly appear, whereby the Councils-General of
Manufactures and Commerce will be re-organised,
and established upon a basis much wider, and more
favourable to those interests.
" We find the following in the Semaphore of Mar-
seilles :—‘ The English steamer, George IV. has
received orders to go to Algiers with the utmost
despatch. It is said to be charged with an important
mission relating to the expedition.'
" The following details respecting the expedition
are derived from a source on which reliance may be
placed :—lt appears that the fleet has found an ex-
cellent anchorage, which was unknown, the disco-
very of which ensures complete success to the ope-
rations. On the 14th, at ten in the morning, the
personnel (4 the army was all disembarked; the
materiel alone was left on board ; but if the weather
continued favourable for four days, the disembarka-
tion would have been forward enough to enable the
army to advance end begin the siege. It is believed
that the troops have been divided into three corps;
one to remain at the place where the landing was
effected ; another, to proceed along the coast, and
take possession of the batteries that skirt it; and
the third to march upon the heights, in order to
thin the town, and attack it on the east and south.
The walls on that side are said to be in such bad
condition as to require but a few volleys to make a
breach ; it is therefore considered not unlikely that
by this time the town is taken, and the expedition
terminated. The roadstead of Turetta-Chita is an un-
expected safeguard to the expedition, and removes all
anxiety. It is only to be wished there may be no need
of cavalry ; for, according to accounts from Palma,
almost all the horses perished during a 30 days' stay
on board the vessels. The 17th Regiment of Chas-
teurs will make the campaign en foot. On the 6th,
when the fleet was still at Palma, grr at number
of (lead horses were thrown into the sea; the few
remaining were to be employed in the artillery
service. Sidi el Ferruch is a small port, five leagues
west of Algiers, where the Algerine Government
ships its produce, especially cattle, for the coasts of
Spain and other European ports. Two roads, one
direct, the other along the coast by Cape Caxine,
lead from Sidi el Ferruch to Algiers; these roads,
particularly that along the sea side, are intersected
by chains of mountains, which do not present many
obstacles to the progress of travellers. The point
at which the Ft melt army landed was mounted
with batteries; a map recently published marks
five; there must have been a greater number, as
Sidi el Ferruch may be considered the ntererntile
port of the Algerine capital; an attack on that
side is striking the regency to the heart; it is
therefore probable that the most powerful means of
defence were directed to that point.
" Advice. from Gibraltar announce that the
Captain of the English vessel the Emmanuel, ar-
rived there from Oran, reports that the Englifili
Con-ul there had positive information that upwards
of 1,10 men of the shipwrecked brigs the Sylene
and Aventure were on the 25th ult. at Algiers. It
appears that, in order to save those who were
wandering in the mountains, or who had fallen into
the hands of the Bedouins, from being massacred,
the Dey had offered a reward of 5001 r. for every
Frenchman that was brought to him olive.
" The complaint made by M. Guilhem and M.
d'Andign6 de la Blanchaye against the proceedings
of the 16th inst., at Angers, inasmuch as it incul-
pates public officers, has been necessarily submitted
to the Council of State, who have pronounced that
there are no grounds for instituting proceedings.
" Two truths, doubtless, appear evident to every
body. The first is, that the electoral mode of go-
vernment ought to be uniform ; the second, that it
is desirable that no one should vote without a right.
" Now, there exists an uncertainty of considerable
consequence respecting an essential point in the
electoral legislation.

" Can the electors unduly omitted in the list, and
who have not claimed their right before the Ist of
October, be considered qualified for the actual ex-
ercise of their right ; or must this right remain
suspended till the period of the annual revision of
the lists ?

" Such is the difficulty. The Court of Cessation,
and seventeen Royal Courts, have declared that the
negligence of the elector implies the suspension of
his r►ght.
Other Courts in very small numbers have
adopted the opposite opinion.
" The Administration has followed, as was na-
tural, the i►nte:pretation given by the Court of Ces-
sation. A very considerable potion of the electors
have done the same; several, on the contrary, have
taken another course.

" Among these last, some have been cast by the
Royal Courts, some have had their claims admitted,
and lastly, some have not yet had their causes
decided.

" None of them, besides, has had final judgment
pronounced; for the Court of Caseation has not
determined concerning these recent questions, and

there it: not time to terminate the causes before the
convocation of the Electoral Colleges.
" The inconvenience would be serious if the busi-
ness in which these electors wish to take a share
took place before this uncertainty is removed.
" As the exercise of this right is not in this case
suspended whilst the cause is pending, those who
have obtained preliminary judgments in their favour
would necessarily be admitted at the election. Thus
it would happen, in the first place, that these electors
would enjoy the power which they claim, while those
who have already failed in the Royal Courts, as well
as those who, from confidence in the decision of the
Court of Cessation, have been induced to refrain
from bringing forward their claims, and entering their
actions, would be excluded from the colleges, though
they have the same qualifications arid the same
rights as the former.
" In the second place, the judgment of the Court
of Cassation would be given at last, though after a
long delay, and if it happened, as one may without
temerity believe, that this decree was not different
from those which it has already pronounced on the
same question, a pretty considerable number of
electors in several colleges would have voted, if not
without a presumptive title, at least without a real
title, and without any right. •
" On the other hand, this long-delayed judgment
might come after the election of the Arrondissement
Colleges, and before the election of the Department
Colleges. In that case the most extraordinary in-
consistency of which we can form an idea would
aria-, that the same person, without any change of
state or fortune, being admissible to both colleges in
respect of the sum paid by him in taxes, should vote
in the Arrondissement College, and should not vote
afterwards in the Department College, and in both
cases with an equal appearance of legality.
" From this, also, another s ngularity would arise,
that the Department College, more numerous during
the first part of the electoral trials, would be much
less so during the second part; and also that former
electors, who were admitted into the College before
the inscription of the new ones, and excluded by
them after their inscription, on account of the supe-
riority of their census, would be admitted a second
time after the others were struck out.
" That is what Government has proposed chiefly
to obviate by the subjoined ordinance. It cannot
fail to obtain the assent of all those who desire that
similar rights should be exercised under the same
advantages, and who think it necessary that en uni-
form and impartial rule should direct the important
work of the elections.
" ORDINANCE OF THE KING.

" To all those to whom these presents shall

" ' Having been informed that a great number of
causes relative to the political rights of electors in
the jurisdiction of the Royal Courts of Paris, Rouen,
Orleans, Angers, Metz, Pau, and Nismes, are still
pending in the tribunals, arid cannot be definitively
settled before the time fixed by our ordinance of the
16th of May last, for the meeting of the Colleges;

We bare received German Papers by this
morning's post. The Allgemeine Zeitung men-
tions that the troubles in Albania are hourly
assuming a more momentous character, and give
reason to apprehend another serious crisis in

European Turkey, which may end like that in

Greece. If so, what will become of that faint
shadow of power which Turkey yet scarcely hold 9.
over her subordinate provinces in Europe
Juxr 11.—The day before yesterday than,
arrived here Mr. Henry Browne, a clergyman of the Ear
church. who is sent to Munich by the London Urri'
versity, that he may make himself acquainted with Of
institutions, modelled according to the new plea :of in'
struetion of 1829, with the view of founding similrofte,
in London. The Council Of the London University, it
seems, has found that the young men who are entered it
the University, are in general not sufficiently prepared for
the insti uction to be given them there, and it has resolved
as a remedy for this evil, to establish schools, to be ma-
naged under its own inspection; according to the English
custom, the Council began by appointing Mr. Browne
Head master of those schools, for the regulation of which
he is to draw up a plan. Mr. Browne had lately became
acquainted with the Bavarian plan, which he thoroughly
examined. It was assumed as the foundation of his own
work, and accepted with perfect unanimity and satisfac,:
tion by the Council of the University. Mr. Browne has
arrived just when we are expecting the publication of the
most 'weld plan of the Bavarian schools.
FROM THE FRONTIERS or SEEN'S,. JUNE 2.—The
troubles in Albania, which at the commencement appeared
to be of little importance, have within these few weeks
assumed a very serious appearance, and give reason to ap-
prehend another Seri,us crisis in European Turkey, which
may end like that in Greece. It is not a few districts that
refuse obedience ta the Porte, but all Albania, from one
end to the other, is in motion, and a spirit of liberty bor-
dering on fanaticism appears to have seized the minds of
the whole population. Insurrections have been very usual
matters in Turkey, and hare seldom any other result tiny'
the cutting off a few hundred heads, because such troubles
almost slwit3s originate in the interest of some individuals,
in which tie mass of the people do not sympathise; but the
present insurrection in Albania proceeds from national feel"
logs and a spirit of independence, and is widely different from
the pretensions cf some discontented and rapacious chiefs,
which have been common in that country. The first im-
pulse to the insurrection is said to have proceeded from the
Albanian troops returning from the late campaign,
who had lest all respect to the Porte, and would no
longer pay obedience to the authority of the Pachu.
These were joined by Greek adventurers, who used
every means to excite a ferment to prove the weakness of
the Pore, by the success of the Greek insurrection, and
to propose this example as worthy of imitation. The few
Turkish troops, and the exhausted tres.sury of the Otto.
man commanders is Albania, afforded very insun-
cient‘means to contend with the insurgents, who be-
esme bolder in consequence, and ventured t,) avackJakovo.
They made themselves master of that place, which, from
its vicinity to Bosnia and Macedonia, will be of great ,im-
portaoce to them in the prosecution of their enterpriser.
Commissioners have been rent from Constantinople in
order to try every means to restore order in Albania, but
it is to be feared that things have already gone too far.
The Porte has also rent circulars to all the Pachas, in
whichth t o
estate affairsco
-operate
ate to the
i n Albania
utmostis described,of their p
power
theyer iin
are enjoined
suppressing the insurrection. Even the Pacha of Bagdad
has e ceived this circelar, which, considering how far he
is from the frontiers of Albania, seems at first sight very
r
strange ; hut, according to the regulations for the transac-
tion of public affairs in Turkey, every decree emanating
from the Sultan must be communicated to all the great
offic,.rs in the provinces.

We have a Port of Spain Gazette of the 3d
of May. His Excellency LEWIS GRANT, the
Governor, had issued a Proclamation stating that
several of the most respectable proprietors of
cocoa estates having reported that the reduced
prices of Trinidad cocoa have arisen from an

undue practice of mixing up the bad and in-
ferior qualities with the good, and thereby de-
ceiving the purchaser, the Governor deems it
therefore necessary, in order to restore the re-
putation of the article, that no cocoa shall in
future be exported from Trinidad before it has
undergone a minute examination and inspection
by a person appointed for that purpose, his fee
for such being one " bit" for every 1001bs., save
in cases where he may be called to inspect at
any place more than two miles distant from Port
of Spain. The Colonial Treasurer was ordered
not to grant clearance to any vessel on board of
which cocoa was shipped, without the inspection
