ALGIERS.

Extract of a Letter from the. Agents to Lloyd's
at Marseilles, dated the 9th inst.
cc The Racer cutter, arrived here last night,
left'Algiers on the 30th ult., at which time two
frigates were cruizing before that port, and two
others before Bona.—No accommodation has
been made of the differences with the Algerine
Government, nor from existing appearances was
there much probability of such an event very
speedily taking place. The Revenge, having on
board Vice Admiral Sir HARRY NEALE, had left
Algiers, and proceeded to Mahon : from thence it
is inferred that he will either proceed hither or
go on to Malta.—We hear of no A Igerine cruizers
being at sea. The Dutch squadron was, ife
understand, on the 13th ult. at Mahon, sill"
which date we have no account of them, but it
appeared at that period to be the intention of th 6
Admiral (Ruysch) to resume his cruize along the
coast to Spain, and down to Algiers."

Extract of a Letter from the Agrnt to. Lloyd's, at Constriii"

nople, dated March 10.

'6 Two or three Algerine vessels of war formed
part of those lately anchored within the Darda-
nelles, but I apt ignorant whether they yet "-
main there. I believe there are none of that
nation in this port."

The British ship Stanmore, was cut out of
Coquimbo by a Spanish cruizer early in Pectin"
her ; and the brigs Gaadaloupe and Rosario, and
the schooner Mariana, are reported to have boo'
taken ont of Guasco by a Spanish schooner.

CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 961, but soon after went down i°
961111; and, for Money, 961 to NI, with lad*
doing. The fall is attributed to a Broker having
sold, in the earlier part of the morning, 80,00°/'
Consols for the Scotch Banks, for Wednesday, at

96i.—Up to this hour I do not hear of any El"
press from Paris. We have no news or reports

in the City.

FOREIGN MARLET.-There was a great deal
doing in Colombian and Mexican Scrip this flier"
ing. There were also some purchasers in Spanish
Bonds, which has caused them to rise a little•
In all other foreign securities there was not much
doing.--Most of the South American funds hale
lowered this morning.

Half-past Twelve.—An Express has juot ar-
rived from Paris with the French Rent•s t
102 f. 75c. I do not hear that auy political infor-
mation of consequence has been received by if•
Messrs. READ and IRTING depart this evening'
for Paris. It is supposed that the journey of
these Gentlemen is undertaken for a financial
object of great importance.

One of the extracts from.the Etoile received
by our Express yesterday, was the very agree-
able intimation that letters had been received
from Bogota, which disproved the reported de-
parture, or intended departure, of the Colombian
Government from that capital. The Journal des
Debuts also announces the same important fact,
and admits that it had been deceived as to the
intelligence recently given in its columns, and
which pretended, not only that the Coloalb7ao
Government had felt it necessary to seek for
security by a kind of flight, "but that General
Batavia:. had been defeated, and was flying with
the wrecks of his army before his victoria°

enemy. The falsification of these alleged dis-1
asters to the cause of the south American lode-
Pendeats, of course dissipates the gloom which
they had east over the fortunes of the Patriots ;
and though we still tremble for the results of the
active and intriguing agency which we know has
been employed in the New States, with the view of
obtaining their re-union with the Mother Country,
we trust that the projects against their independ-
ence will be frustrated by the additional moral
force which their respective Governments must
acquire by the arrival of the English Consuls,
and by the knowledge of the friendly feeling
-manifested towards them by Great Britain, and the
decisive tone in which-she has avowed the policy

that she will pursue, in the event of any foreign
farce being added to that of Spain for the main-
tenance of the struggle.

Surely no course of human action had ever more
the appearance of being interminable, than the
diplomacy which has teen produced by the dis-
putes hetween Russia and the Ottoman Porte.
Notwithstanding our conviction that the pro-
tracted discussions which have taken place on
this endless subject, have been eminently favour-

able to the heroic Greeks, by keeping Russia and
Turkey in an attitude of hostility,and thusabstract-
ing a large portion of the Ottoman power from the
important and deeply interesting struggle which
the Barbarians have to sustain with their man-
ciPated Christian victims, yet we confess that we
are weary of the alternate and conflicting state-
ments that proceed fromConstantinople,aud which,
"the question of peace or war with Russia, succes-
sively contradict each other with truly monotonous
4:ll"ess and regularity. It is hut a few weeks
;Inca it was supposed to be certain that Lord
TIRINGroan had succeeded in completely settling
IL' the differences between the two Powers for
whom he has acted as a kind of Mediator. The
Principalities were to be evacuated ; Russia
was to re-open her diplomatic relations with the
Porte, and to withdraw her armies from the
Ottoman frontier ; and the impending storm
which has so long loured over the empire of the
Turks, was for this time at least to pass away.
—Yet, our present paper contains intelligence
from Nuremberg, which asserts that the Turks,
so far from taking measures for the Lona fide
evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia, have been
secretly augmenting their forces in those pro-

viuces ; that this further proof of bad faith having
come to the knowledge of Russia, she has

renewed her demands in a more explicit
and decisive form than ever ; and that conse-
quently the probabilities are once more in favour
of a Cossack march to Constantinople. But notwith-
standing appearances, he must be more than a bold
calculator, who, after the experience which has
been already obtained of the way in which Russia
enforces her demands, and in which Turkey ex-
ecete-s her concessions, will venture to give an
opinion as to the issue of any question that may
arise between their respecti►e Cabinets.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.—The Hamburgh Bor.
se«-Liste of the sth instant contains an official statement,
copied from the Elberfeld Journal, as to the affairs of the
RIINWISI; WEST INDIA COMPANY. It appears from this
document, that after having carefully examined the accounts,
and the balance-sheet founded upon them, the Directors have
agreed to divide 4 per cent. on the Ist of July next, as the
dividend for the year upon the first 1,000 shares : they at
the same time resolved that it was expedient to appoint a
aPecial accountant in the bureau of the Company. knowing
that the commercial affairs of this Company have been conducted
with ability, and that no particular losses have been sustained, we
e innot help observing that 4 per cent. is but a slender annual
4i'idend (it is barely on a par with the dividend profits of the
Bank of England) for capital embarked in the West India
trade, a trade which in former times used to average from 12 to
13 per cent. profit. It goes, however, to establish proof of the
low rate of profit which must be submitted to, when, in a state
of profound peace, commercial men of all countries are eagerly
competing in the markets of the world. It ought, moreover, to
'reconcile him who lends his money on land to the reduced state
of interest which investments of that sort now bear very gene-
rally throughout Europe.

We have received some numbers of a new
Journal, published at the Cape of Good Hope,
under the title of the South African Commercial
Advertiser. Though it would justly acquire
here the character of too great subserviency
to the 4C powers that be," that is stated to be a
deference in this colony necessary to the exist-
ence of an infant Journal : its tone, however, is
in the main independent ; and from the breaking
Iva monopoly of 20 years' standing, since the first
publication of the Cape Town Gazette, some benefit
to the Colony may at least be anticipated. The
new paper is said to meet with every fair
support in private subscriptions; but we per-
ceive, by a notification in one of the numbers,
that the Governor, Lor(1 CHARLES SOMERSET,
has manifested some hostility to the undertaking,
by the imposition of a heavy postage to be paid
previous to transmission into the interior, and a
tax of one rix-dollar on each advertisement in-
serted. The paper is printed in the English
language only, but the leading articles are to ap-
pear in Dutch also, as soon as 250 subscribers of
that nation can be obtained. We find in these
journals no local news worth extracting. The
latest date of those in our possession is the 4th of
Feb ma ry.—(llforning Paper.)
