HORRIBLE ATROCITIEg AT ALGIEiIS.

We extract from the Paris Papers, received this
rnornipg„ the following details, which are stated
to, have been communicated by the Sardinian
Vice-Consul at Algiers on his arrival at Genoa.
Some doubt is, at the conclusion, thrown upon
this statement, and we sincerely hope the narra-

Live may prove to be erroneous. If, however, the
Sardinian Vice-Consul really communicated' the
circumstances thus published, there can unhap-
pily be no doubt of their truth. Should the nar-
rative be found to be correct, it is impossible so
atrocious au insult to the British power can he

passed over unaveoged—so nefarious a crime go
unpunished. A wretch such as the DeY of AL-
CIERS is here descritycd to be, murdering an En..f,-
lislunan hi cold blood, and violating onr fernal.es,
tuust receive the ponishment due to such atro-

duns crimes, from the just vengeance of that
Cation whom he has thus insulted and provoked :
" GENOA, Jitte. 15.—The Vice Consul of
Sardinia, at Algiers, has arrived here, who re-
lates the following facts :—A Sardinian brig had
been captured and cerr;ed into Algiers, under the
pretence that her pipers were not regular. The
Vice Consul protested against the capture, and.
proceeded to the Palace of the Dev with hi, ccl-
leagues, the other Consul s% The Dey received

the young man had been thrown into a dungeon,

vglio of the Dey, where Tinkish dresses had
been given to them. The Dey, in a fury, ordered
Lis Captain of the Guards to lurng in the young
Englishman, whose head was cut off in the pre-
sence of his father. The, bleeding head was ex-
posed at the gate of the Palace, and the English
Consul withdrew trembling. The Sardinian Vice-
Consul received no other answer to his represen-
tation than an order immediately to quit Algiers,
and they took from him his daughter by force.—
We have some difficulty in giving credit to this
bortible statement."

from 7 to 8 dollars ; Sugar, 8 to 10 ; Cotton, 30

The bugbear dangers of the HARP.As CORPUS
TSUSPENSIoN ACT, by which none were affected
ont those who had desighs against the peace of
the Country, and the existence of the Govern-
ment, being now at an end, and the subject ren-
dered Jisgusting to all loyal and well-disposer)
people, the Patty now direct their whole atten-
tion to the expected continuance of the Restric-
tion on Bank Payments in Cash. The question.
admits Of an easy solution, in spite of all the ar-
tifice and soph;atry of the Opposition. Is Go-
vernmeot to be confined to. the letter, contrary
to the spirit, of an Act which was passed for the
public security, and which temporary circum-
stances may still repire? It is well known that the
people at large are contented with the solid
responsibility of the Bank, and some time past
even preferred paper currency, as more convenient
than gold, and cqually secure. What then are
the phantoms of danger which the Opp,wi-ion
IVi-
zards are attempting to raise, but the dreams ()f
ignorance or the mischievous creations of Party
spleen ?

On the interesting subject of a DISSOLUTION
OF PARLIAMENT, several of the Public Pt ints have
ventured positively to state the period when that
event i-i•to take place. We are not quite so ven-
turous, because we are assured that the time has
really not been fixed, though we have, indeed,
reason to believe that it is nearer than appears to
be generally supposed. It seems, however, that
those who are doubtful of being again invested
with a share in the Legislative Councils are
quite upon the alert, and are, Openly orindireetly,
carrying on an active canvass. We hope that the
Constituent Body are equally active in their
canvass, and that they will maturely weigh the
merits of those who solicit the honour, and the
important trust, of representing them in Pat lia-
mem, considering that the purity of the Legisla-
ture, the interests and security of the Empire, and
the tranquillity of Europe, will be committed to
their care. But these are temporary and transient
considerations compared with the preservation and
security of our ECCLESIASTICAL ESTABLISHMENT,
and therefore every Candidate should be decidedly
rejected, at once, who will not give the most
solid pledge to resist the farther encroachments
of Poretty, which at present eojoys every degree
of freedom that its RELIC)I OUs Worunit, can
require, and eonseqoeotly every other claim and
pretension can have no object but the attainment
of a full participation; in POLITICAL PovvEa and
AUTHORITY. ,
