The Foreign Jaurnal,s contain nothing of in-
terest. We extract, however, the subjoined
article from the Eloile of Saturday :

" Some of the EngliSh Papers say that the Court of London
is to invite the. French Government to make common cause to
chastise the Algerines in an exemplary manner. The friends
of humanity cannot bu t hope that this plan may receive entire
execution. Lord Exmouth, in 1816, certainly displayed much
valour in the attack on Algiers, but he left his expedition so
incomplete, that all Europe predicted what has just happened.

" If the French take part this time in the attack on that haunt
Of robbers, we may be certain they will not be *content with
lying promises. The port of Algiers is very narrow, andiconse-
quently very easily filled up by blowing the Mole, and sinking,
moreover, one or mOrevesselsladen with stones in the mouth.
Stich is the opinion of several skilful sailors."

His Royal Highness the puke of Cambridge returned to
this Capital on the 13th inst., in excellent health, after having
been on a visit to Berlin and Brunswick.—( Ilanover, Feb.
13.)
It is stated in a letter from Paris, that a distinguished fo.
reigner recently gave a grand ball at his hotel in that city, at
which a great many of the first classes of society, both French
and foreigners, were present. The female invitations, however,
were confined to the actresses at the great French Theatres.__
Mademoiselles Mars and Bigothini, as also Madame Pasta
Noblet (the letter states), declined the proffered courtesy.

The Princess AUGUSTA has been some days on
a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCS, at
their residence, Bushey Park. Yesterday morn-
ing, about ten o'clock, the Princess and the
Duchess of Clarence left Bushey Park in a tra-
velling carriage and four, and proceeded to the
King's Palace at Kensington, where the Duchess
of Clarence alighted on a visit to the Duchess of
Kent. The Princess Augusta proceeded on to
London, where her Royal highness alighted at
her future residence, in what is called the Stable-
yard, in the King's Palace, St. James's, adjoin-
ing the residence of the Earl of Harrington,
where her Royal Highness was in a short time
joined by the Duchess of Gloucester. Their
Royal Highnesses proceeded to inspect the re-
pairs, alterations, and improvements making pre-
viously to its being occupied by the Princess ;
after which her Royal "rigidness returned to
Bushey Park.

Sunday Prince LEoror.n dined with the
Duchess of K EST, at the King's Palace, at Ken-
sington. Tho Royal Duchess had a select party
in the evening- to tea, to meet her Royal brother.
The Securities of Austria, Russia, and France
each experienced an advance in price yesterday. In the South
American Bonds no considerable alteration took place, with
the excepticn of Mexican Scrip, which was done at 9 prem..,
and closed at fV. The same circumstance which served to ad-
vance this latter Stock has produced an advance in the Greek
Scrip, the first instalment upon which becomes due this day,
and it is understood the greatest part has been already paid up.
—( NC-a, 'i'irie(r.s.)
Tile Repeal of the Assessed Taxes, at the same
time that it would most relieve those who have most occasion
for relief, would likewise alibrd ease to all in a reasonable
and proportionate degree. It would be a general and diffusive
blessing ; whilst the plan of finance adopted by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer is calculated only to afford unneeded
luxuries at an easy rate to the rich, and stops short before
it reaches the poor and middling classes. What effect can
it have upon the country shopkeeper that the price of silk is
lowered, except it be to injure the sale of his printed stuffs
and calicoes, and to ruin the manufactures of those articles ?
How many country towns are there in England, upon
which the admission of foreign silks into our ports can have
no effect whatever, except it be a mischievous one • and
to every inhabitant of which towns the repeal of the As-
sessed Taxes would be a most substantial benefit ? We are
surprised that these people do not see the advantages within
their reach, anti call upon their county members to require of
,Ministers a plan of finance calculated for the relief of the
poor ; arid not to sutler a scheme to be realized, which has no-
thing English in it, and does not extend to the body of the
English nation.—( Times. )
A letter from Southampton says—" The war
with the Algerines seems to have caused a particular sensation
in France. At Havre the merchants seem apprehensive that
the tranquillity of Europe will be interrupted."
