FALL OF ALGIERS.

At twelve o'clock on Monday night it was stated in
Paris with great confidence that a telegraphic commu-
nication had been received, announcing the fall of Al-
giers before the French army, under command of General
Bolt a MONT. Despatches to this effect were immedi-
ately forwarded to the Ktxo at St. Cloud.—ln the
meantime, we learn that the army of reserve is under
orders to sail, and all the auxiliaries will be shipped for
the coast of Africa on the 9th of the present month. In
the progress of the invading forces towards Al-
giers, they were much harrassed by the Arabs. The
first brigade, it is stated, having followed the enemy
rather too far, suffered very great loss—more particularly
from a species of long guns, mounted on camels, which
these singular warriors brought into play. The loss among
the French cificers has been particularly severe. The
Algerines had erected new batteries all along the roads
occupied by the French, and every step was won by keen
and constant fighting. The Gazette de France, received
at noon this day by eslafette, publishes a private letter
from the Camp, dated the 19th ultimo, which speaks of
the booty taken in the Turco-Algerine camp as immense
—adding, however, that the obstinacy with which the
enemy fought was remarkable. After being driven from
one position, they immediately took up another; and in
every hour there were fresh and fierce conflicts, and un-
ceasing slaughter. The day on which the French had
aiTearetl before Algiers is not yet given; but it is sup-
posed that the city had fallen on the 22d of last month.

Very animated discussions occurred in both Houses of
Parliom►ent last night, on the farther consideration of his
N J EST Y'S Message—and the speeches of the Duke of
NV ELLIN GTON , Earl GREY, Viscount GODERIEn, the
Earl of EL DON , and the Marquis of LANSDOWN in the
rouse of Peers, and of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord AL-
.rnotte, Mr. 13WouGitam, and Mr. Huseisson in the
House of Commons, cannot fail, at the present juncture,
to be perused with peculiar interest.
What took place may be considered as developing a
little the actual state of parties, or rather the component

portions of what have been designated by that term, in
the present Parliament : and, we think, it fully confirms
the opinion on the subject, which we have been inclined
to maintain, that no actual combination had taken place
between the heterogeneous portions of our Senate, which
are found accidentally actingtogether in opposition to Go-
vernment. What has been developed in last night's debate
will even safely enable us to extend our conclusions, we
think, a step further ; and to observe that there appears no
incipient coalition—no new amorous flirtation—between
the present Government and any of the parties in Par-
liament. or even any of the influential Members supposed
to belong to those parties. The state of the House is is
fact as nearly as possible in statu quo.
The present Administration, we imagine, as was said
by Mr. BROUGHAM, flatters itself, in dissolving
the Parliament, that they shall possibly be able to
obtain by an election, an increase of their Parliament-
ary strength; which, as far as it is desirable for them
