"WINDSOR CASTLE, JuNs 23, 1830.

" The KING has slept at intervals during the night;
the cough and expectoration continue much the same ;
but his MAJESTY is more languid and weak.

Our private information, by the estafette from Paris,
states that a telegraphic communication had just been re-
ceived from the African expedition, and which does not
appear in the Moniteur. We are enabled, however, to
give the following as the substance :—" A battle has been
fought in the neighbourhood of Algiers, in which the
French have lost one hundred men." It further appears,
that there has been some hard fighting along the coast—
the troops of the DEY having repeatedly attacked the
French in small skirmishing divisions. Our information,
at the same time, goes on to say, that the French army
were gaining ground every hour.

The Jamaica Courant, received by the mail this day,
apparently upon good authority, states that when the last
packet left Carthagena, every thing was in a very un-
settled state. Bo LI VAR, from the ungrateful conduct of
his old friends, determined to withdraw from the country,
and Icaic It to ita fate. Ou this being known to the
British and French Ambassadors, they apprised the Con-
gress of their determination to follow his example, unless
BOLIVARIVBS allowed to resume the Presidensy, and the
command of the army. The Congress conformed to the
wishes of the Ministers, and BOLIVAR was to resume his
authority on the 25th ult. The Courant then adds,
that in addition to this intelligence, they have learned
from sources which can be relied upon, that Bola v wit is
appointed President for life, with a fixed salary. Many
of his old friends, whom he had raised from obscurity,
endeavoured to accomplish his ruin, and force him from
the country; and nothing but the interference of the
Foreign Ambassadors prevented him from quitting the
ungrateful soil of Columbia for ever. On being rein-
stated in the supreme authority, his moderation was as
remarkable as his services have been. Instead of dooming
his enemies to perpetual banishment, as traitors of;
Columbia, he has merely ordered them to retire to the
interior. That BoLt win was expected here in the
packet is well known. The whole wealth of the LIBE-
RATOR of South America consisted only of twenty thou-
sand pounds, which he invested in the British Funds.

We were injudicious enough, a few days ago, to make
some remarks on a paragraph in a Brighton Paper,
which never would have attracted our notice had it not
been quoted in the Times. We now find that our stric-
tures have put the EDITOR of that Paper in a passion,
which we cannot but consider as a full proof of the
cogency and truth of our arguments.
Having inadvertently trodden on a toad, is no reason
that we should suffer our columns to be bespattered with
its filth ; and we well know, that we have no right to
trouble our Readers with any part of this EDITOR'S mys-
tified lucubration's, farther than the maintenance of our
own consistency, and the exposure of any fallacies that
may be given to., the world on public affairs, can
be considered an adequate apology for so doing. We
shall therefore bring the fallacy, the exposure of which
has put this provincial scribbler in a rage, before our
readers, as he, to save trouble, gives it in all its odious
iniquity :—" Are we at this timo of day," says he, " to
teach mankind that under the practical constitution of
the two Houses of Parliament, a previous concert—a
modifying of inditidual crochets—a compromise of
slight shades of difference, and a common centre
of action and organization, is necessary to every political,

body, of whatever ability and character, which would
sate itself of mil importance, of any practical use or in-
fluence, in controlling the actions of a pernicious Minis-
try, suppereed in one House by upwards of forty place.
