LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1827.

The boasted power and influence of the Ultras
have really come to a low ebb, when the Duke
of WELLINGTON'S visit to the KING is made
a subject of such deep importance. These poor
creatures indulge the delusive hope which such an
event holds out, with as much pitiable self-de-
ception, as the devoted victim of the law clings
to the hope of life. It is Useless to tell them that
his Grace was not invited—they tell you they
know much better, and we only wonder at their
not asserting that the information has been ver-
bally communicated to them, either by the DUKE
or by his MAJESTY himself. But supposine.
•
that the DUKE had been sent for, or were to
be so hereafter—is it not possible that his Grace
might even resume the command of the army,
without having a seat in the Cabinet, or with-
out admitting into that purified assembly a single
individual of the set so fortunately expelled from
it ? Or might not his MAJESTY wish to see the
DUKE upon fifty subjects, to discover which would
puzzle even the acute Editors of the Opposition
Journals ? • We at least can fancy the existence of
such cases,—though it seems they can not. They
are quite clear that the KING could Intve
no other possible communication to make
to the DUKE, but imposing his Royal com-
mands to form a new Administration. To
their ears there must have been the music of
triumph in the sound of his chariot wheels, an-
nouncing the overthrow, of their enemies, and
their own advancement to power and place.
Windsor Castle was to be carried by a coup-de-
main ; but his Grace is aware, though his
• friends may not be so, that in such cases some-
thing more is requisite than aforlorn hope.
It is certainly a strange system which these
Opposition Papers have adopted to ingratiate
their party with the source of honour and pre-
ferment in this kingdom. Not satiied with
having presumptuously dared to impeach the
honour of that Illustrious Individual, they
now charge his MAJESTY with the most piti-
ful vacillation. Having placed the reins of
Government in the hands of the most distin-
guished Statesman, of the day, and having had
his Royal choice sanctioned by the two Houses
of Parliament, and by .the clear unequivocal
assent of his people, they yet shamelessly insinuate
that his MAJESTY will upon light grounds
(or rather upon no grounds at all, and with-
out any trial) upset the whole arrangement,
and admit the Orange faction in the face of
the country and of Parliament.
But we have to apologise to our Readers for
alluding so often to these dreams of the Ultra
Party. They are in themselves too contemptible
to mention, but the persevering unblushing con-
fidence with which the scribblers of the party cir-
culate such rumours, calls on us occasionally to
put the public on their guard against them.
As to the exulting tone in which one of these
Journals alludes to the illness of Mr. HUSKIS-
SON and some other Members of the Govern-
ment, we hope that, though party spirit is
strong, there are few persons in Old England
who will not feel disgusted at the frame of mind
which such language denotes.

The Paris rapers of Sunday and the Gazette
de France, dated Monday morning, reached us
last night. Their contents are not important,
but possess some interest as relating to the naval
movements in the Mediterranean.
The French squadron before Algiers contents
itself at present with blockading the place, but
the preparations at Toulon are going on upon a
large scale, and it must either be inteialed to
attempt to bombard Algiers, or to send to the
Archipelago a much more powerful fleet than any
