ALGIERS.

-+--
GIRRALTAR, APRIL 8.

The North Pole, EHLEnr, from Hieres, and off Al.
giers, an ived here yesterday, sent in by his Majesty's
ship AcTi ye, for a breach of blockade. She was off
Algiers on the Ist instant. The Master reports, that
Vice-Admit al Sir H. NEALE landed six days before at
Algiers, to confer with the DEY. The Vice-Consul at
than was allowed to go abOut, and do business, and
had shipped several cargoes ; two have just arrived
here, one in a 'vessel under English colours: It is re-
potted that Bona has been burnt by two English frigates.
Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at
Marseilles, dated 20th of April.

" His Majesty's ship REVESGE, Vice-Admiral Sir
HARRY NEALE, sailed yesterday for Malta. There
appears to be no probability of an early termination of
the differences with the Regency of Algiers, and all the
ports of that territory are subjected to a rigorous
blockade. Convoys have been granted for the protec-
tion of the trade between Leghorn and the Straits; but
there is not the slightest risk of capture, as it is ascer-
talned there are no Algerine el uisers at sea."

Private letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 27th Fe-
bruary state, that there is a French squadrOn, consisting
'of six ships of war in the harbour, and that it was un-
dev tood, that within a month their number would be
increased to fifteen sail; and that the entire squadron
would consist of three ships of the line, seven frigates,
ee corvettes, and two brigs. An intimation had
been conveyed to the EMPEROR from the French Con.
sul General, that the KING his master had ordered this
squ-adron to be placed at his disposal, as Regent of Brazil.
So much has been said within the last twelve months
of French expedit:oc.s, that we must really pause before
we give 'credit to this stneaaent ; although one of our
contemporaries, who increases the French force at Rio
to eighteen ships; sees in it the do..rnfal of Brazilian
inderendence. The Times says

" The MAGICIENNE frigate had brought out a diplomatic charm-
ter, under the title of Secretary of Legation ; but he was considered
by the merchants as an Emissary of the holy Alliance, whose ob-
ject it was, by crushing the little influence and re,pect enjoyed by
the Eug i I -11 Brazil, to pave the way to the ulterior views of his
1-s-1
employers. Upon the correctness of these facts, which are ex-
treturty impottant, the whole question depends. If true, they
afford just cause at least for suspicion. AVe cannot of course hold
ourselves responsible for them, but can only state that the letters in
which they are contained now lie before us, and that they are de-
riv:d a most respectable quarter. JO the intrigue fur the
, subversion of Brazil, should it really prove what the suspicions of

'judicious measuie 4/ publishing the project of a new
Constitution basf restated trlnquillity_tonrparly the-
, whole of the Braziliao„ provinces. Wbsn. first pro.,
mulgated, it will be recollected'. that the Carriitra or
,Municipality of Rio de Janeiro 'presented a petition to
the EMPEROR, praying that the,new Constitution bbould
be at mite adopted as a law •of the emvire, without-
the intervention of a Legislative Assembly. ThetM-
PEROR assured them of the satisfaction he -felt
.at
receiving such an address, -but • declined Comfliance
with the prayer contained in it until he shonlll be
`acquainted with the-wishes of the other provinces.—
Since that time similar petitions had been presented,
from the whole of the provinces south of Peinambuco,,
and the same spit it was conceived tri actuate those to
the tiortirA•ard but a sufficient time had not elapsed
to obtain communications from them. When those
were received, the public declaration of the adoption
of the new Constitution as a law, was looked for as a
test of the EMPEROR'S sincerity in preparing Meantime,
no hint way given of the future convocation of a Legislar I
Live Assembly, and the Electiori of Deputies, which had
commenced, 'bad been smrinded. Independently of
these causes, circumstances were occurring under the
observation of the English merchants residing at Rio de
Janeiro, tending to ievive the suspicions before excited,
that a secret understanding existed between the Eu-
MO.& ani the Courts of Portugal, France, an 4 Aistria,
but which had been suspended, if not removed, by the
-publication of the new Constitution.

We have received Demerara Papers to the 2d of
March, from which we copy the following articles:

Our island 61e of Papers affords as little worth noticing. In St.
Kitt's, martial law has been suspended, in consequence of the late
alarm having subsided. In Trinidad a tolerably severe shock of
earthquake was felt between three and four o'clock of the morning
of the sth ultimo, but it did no harm.

Saturday night, a number of the negro houses belonging.to Gned
Verwagting, on the Bast Coast, were burnt to the ground. It is
believed to have been accidental. •

We are sorry to learn Ly one of the Barbadoes' Papers, that an
Address very dissimilar to the one which was lately resented to the
Speaker and Members of the House of Assembly of that Island' by
a number of respectable free coloured inhabitants, has been fabri-
cated by some discontented individual of the same class, and at-
tempted to be thrust into the notice of Sir If. Warde without the
necessary presence of his Council. His Excellency, with a proper
rising!, has refused to take any notice of it; but the Honourable
House of Assembly had, by some means or other, procured a copy
of it, upon which they had come to certain resolutions, which were
to make their appearance in last Monday's Globe. We understand
that the Address or Memorial went ,to claim all the rights, privi-
leges, and immunities at present enjoyed by the Whites, together
with certain franchises which were deemed incompatible with, the
safety of the Island.
