LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 6, 1830.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy
Council had a meeting this morning in Down-
ing-street. Those present were the MASTER
of the ROLLS, Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON,
and Sir WM. FREEMANTLE. The cases which
occupied the attention of their Lordships were
those of "Jones v. Wright," remitted from
Lower Canada, and " Bolton v. Burrows," from
Demerara.

A King's messenger arrived at the Foreign
Office, last night, with despatches for Lord
ABERDEEN, from Sir ROBERT GORDON, our
Ambassador at Constantinople, and also from
Lord COWLEY, at Vienna.

The dullness of the Debate last night was re-
lieved by the peculiar rhetoric and brilliant
oratory of Colonel WILSON, who delivered
himself of one of those significant bursts of
oratory which caused such universal astonish-
ment during the agitation of the Catholic
Question., We have nothing to urge against the
Gallant Colonel's logic ; it is as felicitous as his
eloquence, and both are inimitable.

The Bank Directors gave notice yesterday
afternoon that they would receive applications for
loans of money of not less than 2,0001. to be
advanced on Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and
Bills of Exchange for a period of not less than
ten days, nor extending beyond the 15th April.
This is done in order to prevent any scarcity of
money during the time that the heavy payments
are made into the Exchequer; and from the cir-
cumstance of a similar measure having been
adopted by the Directors in December last, it is
believed they will adopt such every quarter while
a necessity is imagined to exist for this assistance.

It would appear by the following account of
Algiers, that the forces of the King of FRANCE
are likely to pay dearly for the honour which is
so graciously promised by his MAJESTY to the
French people. Algiers is strong by nature,
and all the additions which art could invent
, have been carefully supplied since the memo-
rable attack of Lord ExmouTtf. It is clear
that without a considerable land force the place
can never be properly reduced by the French
avy, if we
their three may judge by the inefficiency of
years' blockade. A firm settlement
on that part of the coast of Africa would be of
incalculable advantage to the French nation,
both for naval and commercial purposes :
" The city of Algiers is surrounded by a strong rampart
*ell lined with and forms an imperfect square ;
at the angle on the land artillery,side stands the citadel, which ia in
good
repair ; and at the angle on the left side (as seen
,rcro sea) is situated the gate of B:Abajnu; the road that
fended to it runs by the side of e beach, and is well de-
1?).. the batteries on the coasth t ; between the first and
ieoond angle there are some very fine fortifications lead-
n6' from the gate De Barba; at the third angle, which
J°lal the mole, are the recently constructed fortifications,
and which are the finest; between the second and third
ti?gies is the gate of the Fishermen, which runs down to
e,Bea ; at the third angle is the gate that leads to the
„,
c4e; at the fourth angle is the gate of Barhiloner, and
:lu.t far distant is the fort of the same name; the road that
ivirninates here also runs along the beach on the right siile,
aud is defended by the batteries on the coast.
v " The forts that defend the inner part near the sea are
j2:inutnerons. The fort of the Emperor, and tl.e Star
thetre','"' also a fortified powder magazine, and a few
theon "c''''ed works, protect the road that leads to Algiers
ter north side of the city. The other road is termiiia-
-41 by the sea batteries on the right side, by a fort that has
n, Piee" of cannon, by a powder magazine and a powder
anufactory, defended by five redoubts.
attazek
vet.expectingsince the Dey of Algiers has been expecting an
n°•land, he has lost no time in having the whore of
"lcations placed in the best state of defence pos..
1 d hay hail manufactured a large quantity of
1-wu"s balls, &v. From this description, which is
Yl4"exact, it will be seen that no attack of Algiers
succeeds except on the north side, can present a chance of
;!ilece' on this side it will be necessary to obtain posses-
Z4:°n of the fortresses which defend the avenues, and after-
(l2l boinbird the town without loss of time; for if
zwcZerations should be delayed, the army would run the
lerikble iteat being destroyed by sickness, occasioned by into.
on a burning and sandy soil."

By the advices from Madrid we learn that a
decree had been issued, by which the exporta-

upon payment of a duty of four reals per pound.

The final settlement of the limits and sove-
reignty of Greece is now so nearly accomplished,
that the scholar, the politician, and the man of
business, may alike begin to indulge in specula-
tions on the future destinies of that, in so many
respects, interesting country. The term of her
sorrows is, we trust, now over, and she presents
herself to Great Britain in an attitude of acknow-
ledgment for such assistance as has been afforded
her, and of confidence in future support in the
event of further calamities. Whatever lack of
enthusiasm may have been reproachable to the
English during the Greek contest, we cannot
believe they will now contemplate with indiffe-
rence the regeneration of the mother of Euro-
pean arts and arms, and we, therefore, refer with
pleasure to a second article on Greece in the
Foreign Quarterly Review, which before brought
to light so many important particulars on this
subject.

The arbiters of the Greek destinies had ori-
ginally, as is well known, designed the boundary
of the new State to be a line drawn from Arta to
Volo, which would give it a portion of Thessaly,
with the province of Acarnania ; but Mr. PEEL,
in a late debate, for reasons upon which we then
took the liberty of commenting, intimated that
the limits were to be contracted, and it now ap-
pears that the northern line of demarcation is to
be as follows :—viz. to commence on the north-
east at the Gulf of Zeitun, and to proceed north-
ward till it reaches the Vrachori on the course of
the Achelous, and to follow the vale of that river
till it falls into the sea north of the Gulf of Patras
to the west of Missolonghi. The Turks are
thus left in possession of the whole province of
Acarnania, and an extensive range of country
more northward, abounding with Greek people,
and with classical recollections. That, besides
the Peloponnesus, Attica, Bceotia, Phocis, and.
Locris, and the Island of Eubcea, should have
been rescued from the barbarians, is certainly a
matter for rejoicing ; but such joy must be much
diminished by the consideration alluded to, and
also by the circumstance of Candia, together
with the important and celebrated islands of
Chios, Samos, and Rhodes, having, contrary to
all principles, and all policy, been excluded from
the arrangement. The inconvenience of this
exclusion will, one day, make the Allies sensible
of its impropriety, and then the force of Lord
PALMERSTON,'S arguments will be felt when the
mischief has happened. At present the new
Greek State will contain a population of proba-
bly 700,000, a number not equal to the inhabit-
auts of the Highlands of Scotland, or the West
Riding of Yorkshire,--but yet an adequate
basis for a fabric of great national prosperity and
power.

The choice of the Sovereign having been
made in the person of Prince LEOPOLD, and
his acceptance of the Sovereignty being noa
certain, it matters little to inquire into the nego-
tiations previous to his appointment. It is
however worthy of remark that the Emperor of
RUSSIA, whose designs have been subjected to
so much unmerited obloquy, actually declined to
interfere in the election, and gave his proxy to
France, on account of the services rendered by
the latter to Greece, in the advancement of mo•
ney and the expedition to the Morea. The
French Ministry, considering the jealoasy of
England existing among the Liberals on the
Continent, appears to have applied its double
vote with not less generosity than discretion, and
the selection of Prince LEOPOLD, though at-
tended with no such immediate advantages to
Great Britain as might attach the imputation of
sinister motives to the British Cabinet, is never-
theless likely to be highly beneficial in its effects
upon the national improvement of Greece, in
promoting an intercourse with the lonian Islands,
and inspiring Englishmen with such confidence
as may attract their capital and enterprise to the
Greek shores.

It does not seem that the wishes or opinions
of the Greeks the:nselves have been at all con-

stilted by the Allies, though it was expected in
Greece that some reference would be made to the
National Assembly before the appointment of
their Sovereign. As, however, neither the merits
of Prince LEOPOLD, nor of any other candidate,
could be very well known or appreciated at Na-
poli di Romania, this neglect is probably of
no particular importance, though, in ordinary
cases, such a proceeding might savour some-
what of oppression. We heartily hope that
neither CAPO D'ISTRI A, nor any of the tempo-
rary authorities, will be so injudicious as to at-

,empt to thwart the measures of the Allies

and on the other hand that every effort of con

ciliation will he made towards those authorities,
and especially to CAPo DISTRIA, whose emi-

neat services, and ardent zeal for his country,
entitle him to her warmest gratitude, and whose

continuance in the Councils of the new Sove-

reign we should hail as a most auspicious event.
..__. .

Whether the Allies have done what is best
ror the interests of Greece in establishing a Mo-
..

narchical Government, instead of a federative
Republic, is a question of not very easy solution.
On the one hand a kingdom seems best calcu-
lated to consolidate the physical forces of the

people, and on the other,. there are existing di-
visions marked out by nature and ancient recol-
lections, .vhich seem well suited to the preservation
both of free institutions and of those local associa-
tions which neither the scythe of time, nor the sword
of the barbarian, has been able to cut oir om
the spots which arc still endeared by the remem-
brance of the past. Yet the great point at pre-

encouragement of agricultural speculation. By
'his no coffee, cotton, sugar, indigo, opium, or
silk, of the growth or produce of Ceylon, are
to contribute to Government ; and all these ar-
ticles may be exported duty free. Implements of
agriculture may be imported duty free, and la-
bourers employed in the culture or manufacture
of these are exempt from public service upon
showing a certificate of such employment.

sent is not the form of the Government, (for if
POPE'S maxim cc w:late'er is best administered
is best" is true at all, it must be so in such a
country), but the civilization of the inhabitants
iu detail, and their transformation from rude
bandits into peaceful husbandmen and artisans.
If King LEOPOLD can effect this, we shall not
grudge him the Royal purple, or the inheritance
of the sceptre Of AGAMEMNON. Illustrious,
indeed, will he render his name if he associates
it with the wra of the real renovation of the
Greek people,--if he shall live to be saluted
with such strains as,

Fruges et agris rettulit ulteres,
