ON ALGIERS.

PARIS, Aug. 14.—One of our subscribers writes, as
on occasion of the affairs of Algiers, a letter which we
publish with pleasure—not that we partake either of the
opinions or the hopes of our correspondent on the grave
questions he discusses—but because it is impossible for us
not to receive favourably the new and patriotic ideas his
letter contains. Vire appreciate too highly the immense
advantages of the peace which we enjoy, to adopt projects
which would at least have the disadvantage of inter•
rupting its course. As soon as Algiers had the im-
pudence to attract the attention of France to its walls,
policy and religion have conceived that they were on
the eve of a triumph. They beheld in a disgraceful
neighbourhood only a glorious booty. Many sensible per-
sons have partaken the views, we may say the generous
illusions, of the author of this letter. Let us rather hope
that fatality will not urge imprudent aggressors any farther,
and that the fortune of France will not be tempted to suffer
itself to be seduced. After the glory of obtaining a just
reparation for the King's flag, there is no other to be de-
sired by France, as by all the Governments of the 19th
century, than to maintain the general peace of which na-
tions have so much need, which is more advantageous to
civilization than the finest conquests.
In this letter, which is of great length, the writer re-
commends the conquest of the country, where lie would
found Colonies. He asserts the justice of the measure
by virtue of the law of retaliation, the Koran hav-
ing given to its followers this commandment, which they
have obeyed—" Exterminate all whom you do not con-
vert !" He thinks that, though the expellee would
be considerable, an army of 25,000 men, including
2,000 heavy cavalry, would be fully sufficient to overcome
aIL the force of the Beys, which cannot exceed 20,000 bad
troops, for the inhabitants would rather join the invaders.
Foreign Powers need not be very jealous, as France has
but few colonies, and by this conquest of Barbary, would
secure Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and be a great relief
even to the states of the North ; for where is the nation
that has not a share in the danger and the disgrace? All
the nations of Christendom contribute to fill the slave
markets of Algiers—all pay to the Pirates a tribute like
that which the Greeks paid to the •Minotaur. •

Lisawq, JULY 28.—This dismissal (of the editor of
the Lisbon Gazette) is only a prelude to others, which
the events from the 24th to the 28th must occasion. We
are in the meanwhile in a state of tranquillity, which.
however, is only owing to the arrangements made on the
evening of the 27th, between the Ministers and the gar-
rison, and to the reciprocal fears of the two parties ; for
they do not know what effect the dismissal. of Saldanha
will produce in the provinces, and particularly in Oporto,
where he has a powerful party. This is the real cause of
the present apparent tranquillity. Nevertheless, there are
still some assemblages in the streets. The patrols confirre
themselves to exhorting the people to disperse, but exercise
no violence. Indeed, the feeling of the troops corresponds
very much with that of the people. It is reported that all
the Ministers, with the exception of Count Da Ponte, have
sent in-thor rosignatidna. liastniy, the Intendant of police,
it is said, is very anxious to retire from office. This seems
to announce serious fears as to the conduct of the Pro-
vinces. What has particularly contributed to rouse the
indignation of the inhabitants of Lisbon is, the belief that
General Saldanha was to have been assassinated had the
Princess Regent signed the four decrees of dismissal which.
lie conveyed to her. During the 21st and 22d, while
General Saldanha remained at Caldas, awaiting the deri-
sion on this business, parties of six or eight horsemen, com-
pletely armed, were met at several points on the roadsfrom
Caldas to Lisbon.

"Pius, Aua. 13.—The subscription proposed by lii,
C. Dupin, for a medal to the memory of Mr. Canning
amounted yesterday to 4,500 francs.

(From the Conatitutionnel.)
" LISBON, JULY 30.—Since the evening of the 28th,
the collections of people have become less numerous. The
patrols of cavalry, which run through the streets in evert
sense of the words, without exercising any severity upon
the citizens, are contented with making them separate in
tranquillity.

" The date of the decree (July 2S) for the dismissal of
Jose Liberato Freire de Carvalho, from the situation of
Editor of the Lisbon Gazette, shows the great importance
which is attached to it, since an extraordinary courier was
yesterday sent to Caldas to obtain the dismissal of an Editor
of the Gazette. The Princess was made to sign the decree
in haste, and the courier to return with it to Lisbon at
the same day. The journey there and back is about forty
French leagues.

" The Comte de Villa for, who has been appointed!
Commander-in-Chief of the armed force at Lisbon, has lost,
by the conduct which he pursued on the 26th, 27th, and
28th, all the popularity which he had acquired during hie
command of the army of the north ; and what has con-
tributed most of all to make hint lose it is, that although
the assemblies were composed for the most part of the elite
of the people of Lisbon, they were in every quarter treated
as nothing else but assemblies of the canaille.

,c We are assured that the Ministers have taken ►zpon
themselves the responsibility of giving a false slate to the
decree from Callas, for the dismissal of M. 2arsfay,,,, seeing
that there is no telegraphic despatch in Portugal, and that
the post is not conducted in that country in such a manner
as to enable any person to receive in the evening ass answer
to an article published at nine o'clock in the morning, at
Lisbon.

" The Count da Ponte, the new 111ini5ter at War-, is
looked upon hoe as the confidential agent and instrument
of Sir W. A'Court.

" PAais, Auo. 13.--The serious disturbances whiels
have broken out at Lisbon during the last days of July, and
the display of public opinion in favour of the disgraced
Minister, are a manifest proof that the representative system
has in that country more partisans than men generally sup-
posed, and that the fear of re-actions, which have weakened
it too long, has contributed to strengthen that idea to its
disadvantage. It would be incredible, indeed, that citizens,
who have submitted to a Constitution granted to them by
their legitimate Sovereign, should be alarmed for the con-
sequences of their obedience, whilst the party which has
resisted the will of the Monarch, and against which
they have long fought, derived every advantage from
a struggle so long and so obstinate. This situation
is very extraordinary, we must admit, and we ought
not, therefore, to be astonished at the agitated state of men's
minds in Portugal. The tendency of the new policy is dis-
closed by certain facts. In Spain, it is clear that its osten-
sible object is to obtain greater moderation In the absolute
system , • and in Portugal less latitude in the constitutional
system. Thus it constantly
