LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1827.

We refer our readers' to an article on the
Corn Bill, extracted from the Times of this
morning, and which will be found in arrother
part of our Paper. It is impossible to anticipate
what shape the discussion may take, but we
would again express our confident expectation
that the Noble Peers who are friendly to the
new Administration will not fail to attend in
their places, and counteract the insidious schemes
of men who are hardly aware how far their ran-
cour towards Mr. CANNING would lead them
in endangering the safety and prosperity of the
country. Envy and jealousy are the most malig-
nant of the human passions, but self-deception is
wonderfully successful in altering their aspect by
identifying them with a love of one's country,
and a consequent dislike to those who take a
different view of its interests. Thus, many of the
Ultras think that they hate the political opinions of
\tr. CANNING, and not the individual who has
distanced them as they fancy in the paths of am-
bition. But farther reflection will convince them
of their mistake, and may have the effect of con-
fining their venom to the Right Honourable
Gentleman, instead of extending it to the mea-
sures which he adopts for the public good,
particularly if those be the identical plans
which lately received their sanction, when pro-
posed by the Noble Lord then at the head of his
MAJESTY'S Government.

Tho French papers of Saturday,, and the
Etoile dated Sunday, have been received. The

Chamber of Deputies was employed on Friday

on the reports of petitions, and a warm discussion
took place respecting a petition from a person
praying that the speech of the Bishop of MIR-

MOPOLIS should be circulated throughout the
kingdom, for the benefit of weak minds. The
temper of the Chamber seems to become more
irritable as it draws towards the close of its la-

bourn. One member thought the publication of
the speech calculated to do more harm than good ;
and he hinted, at the same time, that reports were
current of a dissolution of the Chamber—the
creation of more Peers—and other violent mea-

sures. The good people of Paris seem to be as
much at the mercy of false rumours as those of
London, and probably from sources claiming a
natural affinity to each other—the Ultra faction
on either side the channel. The Chamber has
adjourned, and will not, it is said, re-assemble
until the day it is finally closed. The French
Government affect to be apprehensive of an
terruption to their Commerce from the Dey of
ALGIERS, and preparations are making to pro-
tect their ships in the Mediterranean.
It is really disgraceful to the Great Powers to
suffer those ruthless pirates to set up a claim to
subsidies in order to propitiate the good will—or
rather to desist from robbery on the High Seas.
There must surely be some mystery in the
matter, or the Corsairs would long ere now have
been annihilated. If Greece were once emanci-
pated, its cruisers would form the best check
upon the rapacity of those rovers ; for the Greek
Navy, being masters of the Levant, would chas-
tise the pirates in order to protect those Mer-
chantmen who trade to Greece. But this would
only be one of the beneficial effects likely to re-
sult from the independence of that heroic people.
Arts, civilization, and commerce, would diffuse
themselves all over the East, as a natural conse•
quence of Grecian liberty :

PARIS, Strut 2.—" The Commissary-General of the
Marine at Havre has just been informed by the Minister,
that the King's Government has some doubts respecting
the disposition of the Dey of Algiers with regard to France ;
he is therefore instrueted.to acquaint the merchants, that
our vessels must be on their guard against the Algerine

cruisers.
"1-14 Excellency announces, that measures are going to
be taken to protect the navigation of French ships in the
Mediterranean.
" The responsible editor of the Courrier and the Con-
stitutionuel, accused of defamation of the authorities, and
of M. Coffignon, inspector of police, who is plaintiff on ac-
count of the articles which they published respecting the
riots in the School of Medicine, appeared to-day before the
6th Chamber.
"M. de Sopalme required that the editor of the Cour-
rier should be sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and a
fine of 5,000 francs, and the editor of the Constitutionnel
to a month's imprisonment, and 3,000 francs' fine.
" M. Goyer Duplessis, counsel .of M. Coflignon, only
replied that the editors should pay the costs of the pro-
ceedings.
" M. Rferilhou spoke in favour of the Courrier, and M.
Dupon in defence of the Constitutionnel. The Court, after
hearing the reply of the King's Advocate, declared that it
would give its judgment this day week.
" We learn from a circular letter of M. Eynard to the
Greek Committee, that Col. Heidegger read in the assem-
bly of the Greeks the following passage written for them, in
a letter which he had just received from his sovereign—
' 0 Greeks, be united ; this is what you need above all
things.' The assembly, says M. Ifeidegger, manifested by
unanimous acclamations its gratitude to my August Sove-
reign, for the interest he takes in the cause of Greece."
(From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.)
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

A petition wag reported to the Chamber from a person
named Delaporte, at Villeneuve, department of Yonne,
praying that the speech of the Bishop of Hermopolia should
be sent to all the Authorities of the kingdom, to receive

there an official publicity, and to undeceive, if possible, a
number of weak persons.
M. Leberdieres thought the publication of the-speech
calculated to remove the distrust fomented by the enemies
of order, and which affected but too easily persons of good
intentions. Rumours were afloat with respect to the no-
mination of new Peers ; of a dissolution of the Chamber ;
of strokes of State ; of violent measures. For his parfihe•
did not believe them ; but the Ministry ought to know that
the anxiety of men's minds were then at the height, and it
would consequently be beneficial that it should explain it-
self with the same candour as M. d'Hermopolis.
M. Cornet d'lneourt considered the observations of the
last speaker quite unconstitutional. He required explana-
tion on the part of Government with respect to measures
which were perfectly within the power of the Govern-
ment. The Ministry which should promise not to adopt
such measures, would deserve an accusation.
M. Hyde de Neuville—M. de Lezardieres did not deny
the right of Government on the subject ; lie only spoke of
the reports circulating with respect to the use intended to
be made of that power.

M. de la Bourdonnaye--What shall we say to our con-
itituents ?--(Agitation.)
At this moment M. de la Bourdonnaye and the Keeper
of the Seals exchanged with great warmth, some observa-
tions which were inaudible. The President called silence

several times.
A voice in the centre--" Order."
M. de Peyronnet--Whom do you call to order?

A voice—You.
M. de Peyronnet—He who ought to be called to order
is the person who called me to order, that is Count de la
Bourdonnaye. lam not in the habit of speaking to him
except to answer him, and it was my duty to do so as Mi-
nister of the King.—(Noise.)
M. Hyde de Neurille (resuming)—And I also demand,
what shall we say to our constituents ? Our mission was
to do good. Have we done it ? Our conscience will tell us.

The communication made by the French Mi

nister of Marine to the Commissary-General at
Havre, of the intention of the Government of
France to take measures for the farther protection
of her ships in the Mediterranean, in conse-
quence of the suspicions entertained of the dis-
positions of the DRY of ALGIERS towards
France, is evidently intended to account for
the activity which has for some time pre-
vailed in her naval arsenals : but there are
few who will believe that the preparations which
are going on are destined solely to protect French
merchant vessels from the Algerines. We have
been aware for some time that, both at Brest and
Toulon, naval preparations to a considerable ex-
tent have been making, and that ships have
been fitting out of large classes. One private
letter which we have seen, written from the neigh-
bourhood of Brest, positively states, that four
sail-of-the-line and six frigates were equipping
there with all expedition Such a force must be
destined for more important service than to act
against Algerine cruisers; but we- do not pre-
tend to say what that service may be. We may
rely, however, on the activity of our Naval De-
partments, in the event of any necessity arising
for corresponding exertions on our part.,

Frankfort Papers to the 30th instant have
been received this morning, but their contents
are not politically important. The following are
