This was an action for' 'tithe. itnprisonment. Mr.
Serjeant ADAMS and Mr. PENNINGTON conducted
the plaintiff's case; and Mr. Serjeant GOVLIItiRN
and Mr. Amos.thcde(ence. •

The plaintiff, who is clerk to an attorney, con-
ceiving he had some Claith for pecimiary assistance
on Mrs. Ingram, the defendant's aunt, in conse-
quence of an illegitimate connection with one of the
male branches of the family, applied at her house, at
which the defendant, who was formerly High Sheriff
of this county, was residing. Mrs. Ingrain refused
to see him ; and the. plaintiff having continued hi 4
importunities for four dap, the plaintiff sent a con-
stable after him, who arrested him at his lodgings,
and put a handcuff upon him. He alao, by the, de-
fendant's directions, detained him. in custody all
night. The plaintiff, however, subsequently con-
sented to take two guineas, and n half-crown, in sa-
tisfaction of the injury of which he complained ; but
notwithstanding, his having received that sum, he
now broUght the present action.

INTERESTING PARLIAMENTARY

PAPER.

REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE ON MA-
NUFACTURERS' EMPLOYMENT.
The Select Committee appointed to consider the Means of
lessening the Evils arising from the fluctuation of Ent-
ployment in Manufacturing Districts, and to report
Observations thereupon to the House, have considered
the Matters to them referred, and have agreed to the
following Report:— .
Your Committee think that from:the Report here
presented, the following points may be deduced :-
11t:"Thitt corisidirahle fluctuations in Empleyment fre-
quently take place in Manuftwuring Districts, productive
of great distress. •.
2d, That the Earnings of Workmen in many of these
an:
districts are, on. an average of several years, sufficient (if
duly husbanded) to provide for the periods when they are
deprived of work.
3d. That considerable facilities and inducements for this
purpose
by the' Plan re-
oabstract
That facilities be afforded by law (as to Benefit
Clubs) for the formation of Societies supported by
em rtelle may
o e
whichor dtehde following owwohrt kg
n irsen
the voluntary contributions of workmen, and con-
fined to the especial purpose of support during want
of work ; that each member's contributions stand •in
his name, and he have a right to allowance when
unemployed (at a certain rate) to the amount of his
share of the fund; that an annual dividend of in-
terest, forfeits, and deductions on deaths, be made
in proportion to each member's share.
Your Committee are well aware of the difficulty
and importance of the subject they are about to dis-
cuss, and hope for the indulgent consideration of the
House towards the propositions they have ventured
to bring forward.
Your Committee have not thought it necessary
to inquire minutely into the amount of distress con-
sequent on fluctuations of employment in manu-
facturing districts; the evils arising from this cause
among a very numerous and valuable class of work-
men, appear to be:generally acknowledged, and the.
severe suffering thence resulting seems well worthy
the attention of the Legislature.
In order to arrive at n more satisfactory conclu-
sion, your Committee have thought it right
lit, To consider briefly the causes of these fluctuations
of employment.
2d. The best plan for diminishing the injurious effects
of each fluctuations.
3d. The objections which may be urged against these
propositions.. •
Before entering on a short consideration of some
of the causes of these fluctuations in employment,
your Committee beg to remark, that the number,
wealth, and importance, of those engaged in manu-
factures and trade, have greatly increased within the
last half century. It appears by the Population
Returns, that in 1801 the number of persons en.
gaged in trade and manufactures in England, as
compared with those occupied in agricultural pur-
suitsovas as six to five. In 1821 it had amounted
to eight to five; and now probably is little less than
two to one. In Scotland the change has been still
greater, having risen . from live to six in 1801; to
nine to five in 1821; and 1101 V must be estimated in
nearly two to one; as in England. Whilst the rates
of increase in the general population of the kingdom
(as shown by the Returns from 1801 to 1821) have
been about 30 per cent., the increase in the po-
pulation, during the same period, of our largest ma-
nufacturing towns has been upwards of 50 per cent.
Manchester ..... . •
Leeds 54 par Cent.
Coventry 46 per cent.
Liverpool. .50 per vent.
Glasgow ..... ...100 per centss
Your Committee beg to remark, that the increase
in numbers of those engaged in trade and manufac
tures, is by no means to be considered as the only
criterion of their importance in the community; in-
asmuch that from the numerous improvement. in
machinery (especially the steam-engine), and in
modes of economizing and improving the effect of
human labour, the same number of persons can now
produce a much greater amount of. manufactures
than was formerly the case : so that there can be
little doubt that if between .1801 and 1821 the
numbers of manufacturers end tradera haVe increased
50 per cent, that the amount of the prodtictions- of
their industry have more than doubled.
Aftet these reMarka (intended AO show the grew-
ing inll?ertance, of these classes, and their claim on
the consideratiOtt- of Parliament), your Committee
proceed to the first head of -their propoied inquiry;
viz. a brief examination of the tenses of fluctuations
iu contillfiteltaing employments,. Without entering

into minute and elaborate inquiries, these may be
considered as principally; arising from three sources;
—lst; Change .of fashion or place ;-2d. Impreve-
menti in machinery ;-3d. Foreign rivalry, regula-
tions and prohibitions.
It cannot be necessary to exemplify by particular
instances alterations in employment from change of
fashion, because a little reflection will suggest them
to any one. • Thus cottons have taken the place Of
woollens and linens in many article's of dress, and
cottons arc in their turn, in dome measure, supplanted
by silks; .In various other. branches of manufacture
similar alterations are almoit continual.
The migration.or change of place of any mane-
facture has sometimes arisen from improvements of
machinery' not applicable• to the spot where such
manufacture was carried on, as appears to have been
the case with the woollen manufacture, which hes
in great measure migrated from Essex, Suffolk, land
other .southern-counties, to the northern districts,
where coal for the use of the steam-engine is much
cheaper. But this change has in some instances
been caused or accelerated by the conduct of the
'workmen, in refusing , a reasonable reduction of
waged, oropposing the introduction of some kind of
iMproVed,machinery or process; so that during the
dispute another, spot has in great measurrumpplied
their plaCe in the market. Any violence used by
the workmen against the property of their masters,
arid any unreasonable combination on their part, is
almo,,t sure thus to be injurious to themselves.
Improvements. in machinery have frequently had-
the effect of diminishing the demands for manual
labour fora time, by doing the same work at a
cheaper rate than by hand. This diminution of
employment is however generally of a temporary
nature, as experience shows that, from the cheaper
amount at which the-fabric can thus be afforded, its
use is more widely extended; and thus the work!
Men are again brought into work, though perhaps
their employment may be somewhat different from
what it was before.
It is chiefly by numerous successive improvements
in machinery, great capital, and many facilities for
the conveyance of 'goods, that our manufuntures are
still enabled to keep up a successful competition
with foreigners, in our principal staple manufactures.
One effect of improved machinery has been highly
beneficial to the working classes, by admitting
women and children to superintend and assist iH
several operations more or less connected with the

use of machinery, and thus to earn something towards
that subsistence whioh formerly rested almost alone
on the exertions of men.

The adoption of expensive machinery in many of
our principal manufactures, is a strong reason (con-
trary to an opinion often expressed) why less rather
than more fluctuation is to be expected in the em-
ployment of those engaged in such fabrics; inas-
much as the capitalists to whom the machinery be-
longs must, in case it stand still, not only lose all
profit upon their large investments, butalso sustain
loss from that injury which always accrues to ma-
chinery remaioing'idle. •
Your Committee have already adverted to cases
of temporary loss of employment: arising from im
proveMents in machinery. Of this the most striking
example, perhaps, is on the 'effect caused by the
invention of the power-loom in weaving.
Without entering into any description of this
invention, it may be sufficient to state shortly that,
as used in the cotton manufacture, every power-
loom eilfl do-at least as much work as three band-
looms; and it appears • from information stated to
your COmmittee, that the number of hand-loomi its
England and Scotland are now about the same at
in 1820, viz. 24.0,000; whereas the power.looms,
which in 1820 amounted to about 14,000, are now
increased to above .15,000; showing an increase in
the amount of work done by 'powerslooms (between
the two periods) equal to the work afforded by
123,000 hand-looms; and during all this time the
wages and employment of the hand-loom weavers
have been precarious.
Hitherto the use of the power-loom has been con-
fined chiefly to the :Cotton manufacture; should it

ever be found practicable to make use of it exten-
sively in the fabric of woollens or silks, it is pro-
bable its effects would be not less important. This
is only mentioned as a single example of the effect
of improved machinery; and it appears therefore of
great consequence to enable workmen to provide
against the temporary Consequences of such inventions.
The effect of foreign duties, regulations, and pro-
hibitions, is frequently very injurious to the eta-
plOyment of our manufacturers. or this we have a
recent example in the American Tariff, which has
been felt by the workmen of Kidderminster, Wol-
verhampton, and other places. Against all such
fluctuations of employment, it appears essential that
the workmen should have some provision.
Your Committee now proceed to the second head
of their inquiry, vii.---How to facilitate the forma-
tion of, such a provision.
Without entering into minute statements' it ap-
pears that in most of the principal trades and manu-
factures the earnings of workmen are sufficient, on
an avekage of several years (if by any means these
earnings could be at all equally spread over the whole
period) to maintain their families in decent comfort.
Hitherto, however, no legal facilities have been
given to any system whereby societies of workmen
might compensate the wants. of one month or year
from the gains.of another,- Your Committee have
therefore turned their anxious attention to this point;
aud whilst they are well aware of the difficulties of
the subject, and are desirous not to tike too san-
guine a view of this matter, thereannot but express
it hope that in the plan hereafter submitted, the
means of gradually diminishing the present evil may
befound.

Before detailing the outline of ti►o plan they re•
commended, your Committee wish to state an ab-
street of the usual amount of earnings received by
workmen in several of the principal menufnetures of
the country, as detailed to them by a member of
the Committee, who has taken pains to inform him-
self on this point. These are generally given as the
amount of earnings during a recent period of tole-
ruble prosperity, and not those of unusual or tem-
porary depression.
In the cotton manufacture, us carried on in a
circle cif thirty miles diameter around Manchester,
it aPPeirs ghat the working classes may be imps,*
rated into four'. divisions

Ist apt, consisting of men earning slos, per sceek.
2d. and female, earning 12s. per week.

years old upwards), earning 2e. lid, per week.
These Are all paid in money, and, far the in 4:44

the twenty-four.

,
.trints it like manner been reported to your Com-
mittee, that in the neighbourhood of Leeds the
woollen manufacturers (near .20,000 in number)
may be divided into three classes, all working about
twelve hours per day, six days pt:r wotik, and paid

- HARDWARE AND METALS.
Stiumtlith..—From accounts laid before your
Committee, it appears there are at least eleven d
ferent branches of manufacture in steel and inehl
goods carried on in Sheffield and its vicinity, viol-
prising manufactures of,--Ist, table knives; f4d„
penknives and pocket-knives; 3d, scissors; 4th,
razors; .sth, files; 6th, saws; 7th, edge tools; Sth,
fenders and stove-grates; 9111, Britannia metal
goods; 10th, silver and silver p Wing; 11th, cut
nails, &c. Each of these tildes exhibit a curious
instance of the subdivision of labour, there being, in,
each, three, four or five different sets of werkrt.en
engaged, in the. completion of each article ; an for
instance, for knives...forgers, grinder's, and finishers ;
for files—forgers, grinders, cutters, and hardeners;
for native-.smiths, grinders, handle.makers, and
finishers.' And each of these subdivisions are agnin,
dividtid into best, second, and third rate wail:men,
earning various rates of wages. As-an approxime-
tion to their average cuttings, it has been stated to
your Committee, that
The hest class earn ahout Vi. per week.
The second class
The third claws ...165.
For one of the highest class, there are three of the
second and eight of the third. In several of the
twice, boys earnw
proportionally; and women also
get employment at, fair wages. All these persom
are paid in money, and generally 'Ark by the piece.
They comprise not less then 16,000 persons in the
town pf Sheffield alone. It has been stated to your,
'Committee, that formerly two-thirds of their mane..'
factures were used et home; now the foreign, con.
,gumption is about one-half the whole.
Having stated ar eotne,length the division of em-
ployment in Sheffield, your Committee will not re-
peat the same details as applicable to Birminglium,
but only remark, that there also this workmen may,
it is spill; be divided into three classes, earning re-
spectiVely about 12s. 18s. and 21s. per week, work-
ing ten hours each day, end six days per week ;
that women and children are enabled to get enngi.
derehlo earnings in many tildes; and that all the
workmen are paid in money, and generally by the
piece.

IN WOLvitanAliproN—Your Conitnittee are in-
formed that the locksmiths, though working four-
teen hours per day, have lately earned not more then.
from 118. to 14s, per week, being a great redoctioit
on their, former wages. The screw makers (~bout
1000 in number) and hinge-makers heve laboured
under, a similar depression. The wages of these
workmen, it is said, were steady till after the peaty;
in 1816, a great depression commenced, which eon-,
tinned in 1817; 'from 1818 to 1822, a gradual in-),
.
provement
:took place; in 1823, 1824, and 182.5,,
,
wiles advanced higher titan ever; it; 1826, they ,
. .
came down, and have ever since beet, gradually
lower,
.
It is asserted by experienced manufacturers of
Wolverhampton, that, before the. Peace, one-third
of thq locks, screws, hinges, and edge-tools were
for exportation, but nov they do not ext.-fled
one sixth; that the Germans and Fletnings tire bt,-.
ginning to compete with us, and that the Ainerieett
Tariff has operated injuriously to our beavy.good,
None of these classes of workmen made any prO vi-
sion far want of work, but are eloecribed, during th,.
time of high wagee, as generally improvident and
extravagant.
There are other trades.(as the japanners, neat
500 in number, who earn from 11. to 30e. per week)
who have not experienced these reverses.
Your Committee abstain from entering into ,
any
farther details as to the amount of earnings, or the
fluctuations in employment, in other trades or manu-
factures, but content themselves with observing,
that they apprehend the same general results would
arise from inquiries respecting them.
Ott the average of severel years, it will be found
that there is considerable fluctuation in the demand
for labour in each manufacture, and that the amount
of earnings in Most cases, if spread at all equal over
the Nrliole period, would t'uflice 'for the support in
deeetiecomfort of these employed. '
Before your Committee state the 041 which they.
think (night ho adopted to leaser, the evils arising
from temporary want of work, it will be incumbent
on thorn to detail shortly how working mechanics
and manufacturers are now assisted in such cases.
In some of the trades in Loudon (paiticularly the
tailors) all the journeymen are in organized clubs, for
tnutuel support during went of work ; and out of
the general fund, to which they all contribute when
in work, each man out of employment has aright to
a weekly allowance, not limited by the amount he
may have contributed. However beneficial in some
respects such a society may be in ,a, home trade,
where !the demand for labour is Much greater it one
period;of the year than another, it yet appears to
operatS as a combination to regulate and keep up
wages? and so far has this been the case, that no
reduction in the *ages of these persons appears to
have taken plat% since 181,5, notwithstanding the
change in price of utmost every article of life. Your
Committee do not enter on any consideration ,of the
operation of this system, relative, to the wages of
those journeymen who are employed entirely on
article* of home consumption ; but it seems evident,
that if the some -kind of combination existed
among workmen manufacturing artictes of ' export
(comilig into cornpetititin with the fabrics of other
countries)) that such a system might be productive
of the worst effects; yonr Committee indeed appre-
hend it would; lie of very short duration, but, as far
as it went, would be injurious, and it would deeeivo
the hopes of those who trusted in it.
Tliti, journeymen brushinalters throughout the
whole kingdom (not more than 1,000 in number,)
and so to other trades, belong to similar Nocieties.
In t e Report of the Combitiation Laws,' touch
evidence will be found tut this point. Without
m
mein), further upon theaubject, it doss not appear
to you Committee advieable,to give soy addittoual
legal dillies to the extension of such societies,
which, however advantageous in some respects, op-
peer to!havti the effect of keeping up jealousies be.
, .
t mien illtiaters Anti Maui
Among the carpet manufacturers, and several
other trades, there are clubs (or unions of trade) for
tputual'uid in want of employment. Few of these
have any fund beforehand, but draw the *utopian
from iticreasedcontributions by the men whoreint4
at work; have no Recent, investment for tba4 money,
and no legel mode of compelling tlio:UlosertAnce of
their rules.
By fur the greater portion of the tanotifectureal
and mechanics throoghout the kingdom have bow-
ever at .present tie fund for support during a cease-
majority have tin resource when bat of

on the temporary depression being removed, the
men again resume their work without great loss.
This is the case With several trades having a fund to
fail back upon, and appears beneficial to all parties.
In the other case, where there is no fund or pro-
vision for support during temporary stagnation of
demand, the reduction takes place by lowering the
wages of workmen on the seine amount, of work
done ; the consequence of which is, that they en,
deavour to make up the difference by lengthening
the hours of labour, and redoubling their exertions;
hereby, at the time when the actual demand for their
manufacture is the least, raising the supply to the
Highest point.
By this means a great accumulation of the goods
;nude takes place ; and even when an increased de-
mand again commences, it takes a long time to work
°lithe stores in the hands of capitalists, which have
been supplied at a rate of wages ruinously low to
the working classes. This must almost always take
piaci where workmen have no fund to depend on
during a diminution of their earnings, and shows
strongly, the advantage of such aprovision.
lit Many important trades this is more or less the
mute ; it has been exemplified lately in the iron trade
at Wolverhampton and elsewhere; and a very in-
telligent master manufacturer of Manchester states
that in the cotton trade " the worst years are almost
always accompanied by the greatest quantity of work
done.

Your Committee now proceed to state an out-
line of the plan they have considered, which they
think may be gradually introduced so as to lessen
the evils arising from the fluctuation of employment
in manufacturing district., viz.—
That societies should be formed in manufacturing
districts, called Employment Fund Societies, of
which workmen of any trades or employments
might become members.
That the management of the society and its funds
should be directed, according to the rules, by ouch
a Committee or such persons as the members should
elect.

That each member, whilst in work, should con-
tribute weekly or monthly a certain amount to the
a iciety.
That if a member discontinua his payments for
two months, he shall be allowed, on paying a forfeit,
to take his plains again, without loss; and so with an
increased amount of forfeit for suspensions of pay-
ments for three, four, or five months. That six
months' suspension forfeits to the society his share
of its fund.

That illness, with a certificate satisfactory to the
Committee, shall be a good excuse for suspension of
payments; and such a person will incur no forfeit on
resuming them.
That the amount of contributions of each person
shall stand in his name, and shall not be drawn out,
except during his want of employment.
That during want of work, each member shall
have a right to such weekly (or daily) allowance us
may be fixed by the rules, and which will continue
till his share of the fund is exhausted.

That no such payment shall take place when it
can be prowl to the Committee that he then can
earn one-third (or any other proportion agreed upon)
more than the fixed allowance.

That when the share standing in any member's
name shall amount to (say two) years' contributions,
he may be at liberty to suspend his contributions,
and be a free member; but should it be brought
below that amount, he is to resume them.
That when a member's share 'et the annual meet-
ing amounts to (say three) years' contribution., he
may (on notice) withdraw one half, and resume his
contributions; and so on in the following years, a
cautionary balance of a year and a half's contribu-
tion, at least, always remaining as a fund for his use.
That on the death of any member, his share shell
be paid to his family or representatives, except a
certain proportion to be deducted for the general fund
of the society.
That a member changing his place of residence
shall be permitted to transmit his share of the fund
to any s►milar society established in or near the
place he is going to.
That the funds of the society shall be, vested in
Government securities through the medium of a
/lacings 13stik.
'That once or twice► a year a meeting or, audit of
accounts AO take place, when the amount arising
lOM forfeits, deaths, interest, &c. shall be Mt up,
and the whole divided in proportion to the share
then standing in each member's name, and such
dividend shall be added to his share.

That any member may pay his contributions in a
lump beforehand.
That any member may have a single, double, or
treble share, contributing in like proportion, being
entitled to receive on each accordingly, and having
cute, two, or three votes, as the case may be.
That the society shall have all the legal facilities
and privileges (applicable to their case) which are
given to Benefit Societies and Savings BanlN, con-
ferred upon them by Act of Parliament.

gt Prince,—The taking of Algiers seemed necessarily to
had to the submission of all parts of the Regency. The
more the Turkieli soldiery was feared, the more bas its
prompt destruction raised in the minds of the Africans the
power of the French army. The soldiers themselves have
set the example of obedience. In each of their barracks
a few soldiers have sufficed to disarm them. As du, first
order that they received, all have brought their muskets
and their ystagens to the place appointed. It bee been
iodinated to them, that the fathers of families would be
permitted to remain at Algiers, hot that the unmarried
men would he conveyed by sea to whatever place they
should choose. This decision appeared to make but little
impression upon them. Aloet of them are natives of Aeie
Minor, and have requested to be taken there. The mon-
her soldiers collected in the barracks is about two thou-
sand five hundred, Times are all unmarried; many of
thou are old and unlit for military service. The bravest
and most robed have perished in the Isle catopeige. The
snarled soldiers are lodged in private houses; their num-
her does not seem to he ahoy* 1,000. Fur the last three

doubts which had been erected between Sidi-Ferruch anti
the camp of the besieging army, will be dismantled.
Lastly, the depot itself will •be abandoned immediately
after the hospitals have been transferred to another place,
and the provisions there either consumed or embarked.
Orders have already been given to send back to
France the materiel of the artillery which had not been
landed. The train of artillery employed in the siege re-
mains almost entire. We have found here an immense
quantity of powder, cannon-balls, &c., and above 2,000
pieces of cannon, almost all of bronze. The value of these
articles—that of the iron belonging to the Government—
and, above all, of the treasure which the Paymaster-
General is taking su inventory, seem to be sufficient to pay
a great portion of the expellees of the war.
" All the French prisoners who were at Algiers were
delivered to me on the kb, in the morning, before the
French troops took possession of the place.
" The heat has been great for some days past. Several
times Reaumur's thermometer has been at 28 degrees.
Though the siege continued only six days, the activity
with which the works were carried on has caused the
troops to sustain great fatigues. Dysenteric' are become
more frequent, but those who are attacked by them are
not so ill as to quit their corps. We have hardly 250
fever patients in the army. The number of men put hors
de combat since the 14th, is 2,800 ' • 400 are dead ; 1,900
wounded have been sent to the hospitals. Here, as in
Egypt, they soon recover. Most of the fathers of those
who have shed their blood for the country and the King,
will be more fortunate than I am. My second son had
received a severe wound in the battle of the 24th. When
I had the honour to inform your Exiellency of this, I was
full of hopes of preserving him ; this hope has been de-
ceived—he has just expired. The army loses a brave
soldier, and I lament an excellent sou. I beg your Ex-
cellency to tell the King, that though struck by this
family misfortune, I shall fulfil with no less vigour the
sacred duties which his confidence imposes upon me.

" ALGIERS, JULY 8.
" Notice has been given to the Turkish subjects to
quit the territory of Algiers immediately; that those
among them who possess real property had a delay of eight
months to sell it, and that at the expiration of that time
the property not disposed of should be sold by public
auction ; and that the said Turkish soldiers should be con-
veyed by the French vessels out of the territory of the
regency of Algiers, with an express prohibition to return.
" A Commission meets daily to tike an inventory of all
the stores, accoutrements, mane, &c., which have become
the property of the Government, iu consequence of the oc-
cupation of the French army.
" The Marine has appointed a commission to investi.
gate the condition and number of vessels on the stocks and
afloat which have been found in the port of Algiers, as
well as of the stores in the magazines of the arsenal.
" The Foreign Legations had not quitted Algiers on the
3d inst.
" Perfect tranquillity prevails in the city, but the terror
which the French army had spread without the walls, and
that which the Turks caused within, have left an impres-
sion of reserve among the rich inhabitants which will en-
tirely cease when the exile and final departure of the Turks
have proved that the country is to remain under the pro-
tection and authority of France. The populace, more
careless and greedy of novelty, and mixing more with our
soldiers in consequence of their retail trade, come to dance
to the sound of our military bandit, and render all kinds
of little services to our soldiers. Numerous patrols are
constantly in motion to prevent the least excess on the part
of the French soldiers, and to watch also over,the Turkish
soldiers.
" Among the captives delivered at the taking of Algiers,
there were some who hail been nearly 80 years in captivity.
They have been horribly mutilated by the barbarians, who
have made them endure dreadful torments during their long
captivity.
" The elections for the great college of the Seine are
finished. Mesas. Vassal, Alexander de Laborde, Oilier,
and Jacques Lefebre, were elected. They had respectively
1,786, 1,720, 1,706, anti 1,683 votes out of 2,153 elec-
tor*. The highest of the ministerial candidates, M. Ilen-
nequin, had only 400 votes."

" PARIS, JULY 19.
" The Emperor of Brazil having consented to negotiate
with his brother, the actual Sovereign of Portugal, has
commissioned the Marquis of Santo Amaro to represent
him at the conferences which were to be opened at Loudon
under the auspices of the Allied Powers. The Marquis of
Santo Amaro has been in Europe above a month, and yet
the conferences do not begin. All the Portuguese ask
why there is so much delay in considering the situation of
tintir country. It is affirmed that this delay does not arise
from any fault of the mediating Powers, but front the long
stay of the Marquis iilltatO Amaro at Path. it is witted
that the Brazilian Envoy has at length determined to set
out for London on Wednesday next.

" Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock the Medea frigate
arrived here from Algiers, which it left on the 2d. It put
into Milton on sth, and sailed again on the 9th, after
landing 160 wounded. The Alcibiades brig has also
arrived here from Algiers, which it left on the 6th.
" We learn by the letters that the army is driving the
enemy in the direction of Constantina, and that perfect
tranquillity prevails at Algiers.
Vour vessels had just cast anchor ; they bring the 86
sailors belonging to the Aventure anti Siikne. The captains
of these two vessels have remained at Algiers with the
purser of the Aventure, in order to settle the accounts
with the Sardinian Consul, who had made himself answer-
able for the disbursements occasioned by the support of the
two crews.

"We have no letters from Algiers. Several packets
brought by the ships have been sent by the estafette to
Government.

" The general board of customs foreseeing, doubtless,
the fall which was reserved for the Regency of Algiers,
had beforehand given orders to the subordinate boards to
choose among the officers a certain number of clever young
men, in order to form the nucleus of a corps of Custom.
house officers to he sent to Africa. An additional pay of
2K francs per month at least will he allowed. The Cos!.
tom.houre at Toulon has already a number of well-dis-
posed officers, who will he sent to Algiers as soon as or-
ders shall be given; This measure sufficiently shows that
there is no intention of speedily evacuating so important a
conquest. "PAMIII, JULY 19.
