FRENCH PAPERS.

PA ars, Aua. 16.—The Monileur was published
to-dey, (Monday, August 16), for the purpose
of milking known the following Ordinance of
the King, re-establishing the Censorship of the
Journals—a measure which, in the present situa-
tion of the Ministry and of the Opposition, is
considered as of great political importance :
" ORDINANCE OF THE KING.

401.119, by the grace of GOD, King of France and Na..yarrej:to all to whom these presents shall come, greeting.,
"Seeing Art. 4 of the Law of 17th March, 1822, conceived
in the following terms :
" If in the interval of the Sessions of the Chambers, serious
circumstances should render
:ineffectual for the moment the
measures of guarantee and repression established, the laws of.
31st March 1820 and 26th July 1021 may be itrintediately put
again in force, by virtue of an ordinance of the King debaied
its Council, and countersigned by three Ministers.
" This divposition shall cease by full right one mouth after
the opening of the Session of the Chambers, if during this de.
lay it has not Leen converted into a law.
" Tt shall likewise cease by full right the day on which an
Ordinance decreeing the diss3lutionof the Chamber of Depu•
ties may be published,
",Considering that ,the jurisprudence of our Courts of Jug.

ticc has lately admitted for the Journals an existence de jure,

independent of their existence de fueto ; that this interpretation
furnishes a sore and easy means of eluding the suspension and

ouppresaion of the Journals.
" That it follows from this that the means of repression
coacted by Act 3, of the law of 17th 31exch, 134 are become
Insufficient.

" Desiring, under. these 'circumstances, and till the next
meeting of theehambers, to provide efficaciously for the main.
tenance of public order, with the advice of our Council of State,
we have ordained, and ordain as follow.
• ". Art. 1. The lame of the 31st March, 1820, and 26th July,

are again put in• force, dating from this day.
" Art. 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for the Depart.
went of the Interior is charged with the execution of the pre-

sent Ordinance.

" Given at the Palace.of the Tuileries, the fifteenth day of
August, the. ear of Grace eighteeninuulred and twenty.

ALGIERS.

[Prom last night's Gazette.]
A DMIRA - AuGusT•l6.
Dispatches have thirtnorning;been received at
this Office, addressed by Vice-Admiral Sir 11APut.
NEA LE to JOHN► WILSON CHOKER, Esq. and dated
in the Bay of Algiers, the 26th of July, reporting
that the Differences between this Country and the
Regency of Algiers were on that day satisfacto-
rily arranged, and that the Hostilities between the
two Countries had accordingly ceased.
ADAIIRALTY-OFFICE, AUGUST 16.

Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale has transmitted toJohn Wil.
son Croker, Esq., a letter from the Hon. Captain Spencer, of
his Majesty's ship Naiad, of which the following is a copy :
His Majesty's ship Naiad, Bay of Bona, May 24,1824.

Sin—l have much satisfaction in acquainting you with the
complete destruction of the Algerine brig of war, lately report-
ted to you, moored alongside the walls of the fortress of Bona,
by the goats of theFaiad, under the command of Lieutenant
Quin, first of this ship.
If, In detailing this affair, I should trespass somewhat at

length on your time, I trust, Sir, you will attribute it solely to
my anxious desire that the conspicuous merit of the officers and
men in the bOats and their gallant leader should have due
credit, the whole plan of the operations having been formed,
and all the details arranged, entirely by Lieutenant Qutn him-
self ; excepting that I objected to his proposal of bringing the
brig out, knowing her situation to be such as would risk very
many lives in the attempt.

The boats left the Naiad at half.past I I last night, and
being guided in their approach by the fights and fires in the
different batteries, pulled for what proved to be a 10-gun brig
of the largest class, whose position was of extraordinary strength,
and far beyond what I had even imagined possible. She was
moored head and stern, in addition to a chain cable fast on
shore, in a bight within about eighty feet of the walls of the
fortress, upon which I counted at least 40 pieces of cannon, some
flanking her on either side, none farther off than short canis-
ter range, and several within her own length, amongst
which latter were the 10 guns belonging to the brig her-
self, the enemy not unreasonably conceiving that, by placing
them thzre, in preference to keeping them in her, all attempts
at boarding must be rendered ineffectual by their fire. I have
reason to believe the greater part of her crew were landed to
work them, the whole of the Turkish garrison, of about 900
soldiers, having sufficient employment in managing the other
guns, and keeping up a heavy fire of musketry from the em-
brasures and wall, almost overhanging her • decks. few
sailors, left as look-outs, escaped to the shore, leaving the brig
so lightened as to cause the greatest difficulty in ascending her
sides. All these obstades, and the tremendous fire of cannon
and small arms, kept up during the whole time the boats were
in sight, which; from the illumination caused by the burning
vessel was lengthened, served only as a means of showing how
vain all resistance is when British seamen and marines are led
by their officers in the way they were upon this occasion.
Lieutenant Qnin did not leave the brig until she was in a com-
plete blaze in all parts, which ended in her partially blowing
up, burning to the water's edge, and at last sinking in such a
depth that not a particle of her is to be seen, her masts having
fallen in the flames.

No language that I am master of can convey to you, Sir, an
rut/quote idea of the intrepidity of the attack, which could only
be equalled by the cool courage displayed during the time
necessary to distribute the tire in all parts of a vessel under such
eircuntatences.

The officers' names engaged in this service are subjoined;
for, as all did their duty so nobly on this occasion, aid have on
all thriller ones• given me such perfect satisfaction, I cannot in
justice particularize. They unite in speaking in the highest
terms of the silence and good conduct of' the men, who did not
allow a whisper to be heard until the enemy's first round of
grape, which they answered with three cheers.

have great pleasure in adding, that notwithstanding so very
ciiirereut a return might have been expected, I have only to re-
port to you a few men hurt by severe contusions, and none
lcilltd, chiefly to be attributed to the masterly manner the
business was conducted in; the whole of the cretlit of which is
due to Lieutenant Quin, to whom I confided the entire arrange-
ment ; and I hope you will honour him with your recommen-
dation. I have the honour to be, &c.
