of lawless pirates has so long inflicted upon-
the maritime nations of Europe. The Etoile
French Newspaper has recommended that • the
harbour of Algiers should be filled up with the
ruins of its fortifications, and with the hulks of
'A•Algerine Corsairs sunk for that purpose in
their natire waters. If this suggestion were
adopted, it is certainly very unlikely that
the Algerines would ever possess the science
and machinery necessary for re-opening the
navigation of the port ; and as there is no other
harbour on their coast, they would thus be com-
pelled to exercise their piratical dispositions for
• the future amongst themselves. It has also been
suggested, that Barbary should be taken pos-
sessiou of by England, the barbarians expelled
from their strong holds, and the country coloniz-
.ed and civilized by European settlers. But how-
'ever feasible such a project might have been,
:it the moment of Lord EX:119(17;11'3 conquest,
when t!,_. Continental States were more dis-•
posed to acquiesce in any measure under-
taken by this country. than they probably
:IT'f~ at present, the attempt would now be
attended with difficulties not easily overcome.'
The plan of the French Journalist appears to be
the most speedy and the most simple mode of
abating the nuisance as far as respects Algiers ;
but in whatever way the annoyance may be ter-
minated, we trust that the termination is resolved
en, and that it will be speedily and completely
effected.
(From the Agent to Lloyd's at Garaltor, dated 18th March.l
His Majesty's ship Phaet6n arrived yester-
darfrom Algiers. By her we learn that Admiral Sir HATtitY
NIAL was there in the Revenge, with five frigates, a sloop, and
a brig, and was blockading the port. The Algerine
Yernment had refused to treat with the Admiral. There were
two Algerine frigates and some corvettes in port, which had
been out entizing, and were reported to have prisoners
.an board. Our squadron captured a vessel with Algerine pro-
perty on board, and sent her to Malta. The Dutch squadron
was supposed to be at Mahon. It does not appear that any
British vessels have been taken. To day there have been
two arrivals from Oran ;—one a vessel belonging to this
port, which had been under sequestration by the Al-
gerines ; but it seems that the British Vice - Consul
being arrested, sent an express to Algiers to the Ame-
rican Consul, for whom he was also acting as a Deputy, who
immediately demanded his release, which was acceded to
by the DEY, and permission sent to him to quit the place
if he liked, and remove his property. Under this latter
description the English vessel was given up. The Vice-Consul
writes that there had been a rising orthe natives in Oran against
the Turks, in the beginning of this month, but it was quelled,
and the ringleaders put to death.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
—morning at 96 to 96i for this Account, and for
next Account 961. The principal business doing
this morning -is making up the accounts for to-
morrow, which is Settling Day. Consols have
been done as high as 964 for the next Account ;
but within this half hour they have lowered a
little, and are now 968 for next time. I have
not heard of any Express having arrived from
Paris. 'the dividends are paying at the Bank
thi,s morning to the Public.
FOREIGN MARYET.—The business doing is
Chiefly in Colombian Bonds.
Half past Tzccive o'clock.—lt is reported that
an Express has arrived from Paris with thef price
of the French Rentes, which, however, has not
yet transpired ; but as Consols have not expe-
rienced any fluctuation, it may be inferred that
the Express has not brought any political in-
formation of consequence.

The seizure of the Luconia, under the Brazil-
ian flag, in the port of Vigo, by order of the Spanish Govern-
ment, will give rise to a new and curious question between
Spain and Brazil, and may possibly lead to consequences of
which the Ministers of King FERDINAND are by no means
aware; for, should this vessel not be released, in' all pro-
bability, we shall, ere long, see Lord COCHRANE and his
squadrone on the coast of Spain, with a view to reprisals.—
The Luconia is a charna; or transport ship, belonging to the
Brazilian Government, and bound to Havre, with the De-
puties on board expelled by the EMPEROR. On_ reaching
the coast of Spain, she put into Vigo, being in want of pro-
visions. This is the vessel which was said to have quitted Rio
de Janeiro with five months' provisions on hoard, and at
the time the Emp-Enon's enemies raised a cabal, and gave
out that her destination was Goa,- to which unhealthy climate
it was then asserted the expelled Deputies were to be sent, as
a punishment for their revolutionary designs. It is now evi-
dent that this was a story fabricated for political purposes, as
the Luconia was bound to Havre, under an expectation of
being admitted into a French port, in conformity to an order
transmitted to the Custom Houses some time ago for the ad-
mission of vessels under the Brazilian flag; and credits have,
we understand, also been forwarded to Paris for the support of
the expelled Deputies. The seizure of the Luconia cannot
have arisen out of any particular request from the Portuguese
Government, but must rather be attributed to that understand-
ing and secret policy agreed uuon by Spain and Portugal,
in their transatlantic concerns. The angry feelings of the
Lisbon Authorities towards the Brazilian Independents may
he easily understood from the late impotent threat not to
acknowledge any Loan obtained by the de facto Government of
Rio Janeiro, and according to the advices received yesterday a
similar declaration respecting the Greek Loan in England may
be soon expected from Turkey ; for it is known that the Porte
has expressed ths,warmest indignation at the aid and assistance
the Greeks have met with among us.
