" HENRY HALFORD.

" MATTI] EW J. TIERNEY."

This afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council met
at the Foreign Office, and was numerously attended.

Every day adds to the interest attached to the progress
of the Algiers expedition. According to accounts from
Paris, it would seem that the weather has been as un-
settled and boisterous in France, as it continues to be in
this country. Should it have extended to the Mediter-
ranean, we may be prepared to hear sad accounts of
the fleet. In some former observations as to the probable
result of the armament, we said that its success mainly
depended on the elements. Even supposing that mo-
derate weather should prevail when the fleet reaches its
destination, there will be no small difficulty in effecting a
landing. Such is the abrupt nature of the coast, and
great depth of water, that it will be scarcely possible for
so large a number of vessels to find an anchorage. But
should they succeed in this, there is not a single bay or
inlet, within many leagues of the city, which affords the
smallest shelter with a northerly wind. Yet this is
known to blow with great violence for a considerable
portion of the year. The necessity of rendevousing at
Port Mahon and Majorca must create great delay, so that
if the DEY is determined on a spirited resistance, he will
yet have some time to complete his preparations. There
can be little doubt that the whole country round the ca-
pital will be laid waste, and the cattle driven into the inte-
rior. The invading force will thus be constrained to receive
all their supplies of fresh provisions from the ports of France
and Spain. Unless steam-vessels are employed for this
purpose, it will be utterly impossible to maintain such a
line of communication as would become indispensable.
With regard to the inconveniences of climate, they are
likely to be of a very formidable nature.—
The coast of Barbary is proverbial for excessive heat
during the whole summer, and when it is considered that
by far the largest portion of the army has never been in
the field before, we shall be greatly surprised if it escapes
the usual vicissitudes attendant on similar enterprises.
Various conjectures are entertained as to what the
conduct of the French Cabinet will be, in the event of
the expedition being successful. It is believed by some,
that a mere compensation for past insults is all that the
commanders are instructed to require, while others assert,
that colonization is the grand object in view. We confess
ourselves strongly inclined to the latter opinion. Nor
have the rumours relative to an ulterior destination higher
up:the Mediterranean subsided.lt still continues to be matter
of astonishment that so large a force, both naval and mili-
tary, should be employed for a comparatively trifling ob-
ject. There is certainly a considerable degree of mystery
attached to all that is passing. We trust a short time
will clear it up. Meanwhile, it is hoped Ministers are
alive to the important consequences, to British power and
interests, which may, at no distant period, arise out of
what is now going on between the Pillars of Hercules
and Constantinople.

"The Courrier de Bayouße of the 26th contains a pri-
vate letter from Lisbon, stating, that the Spanish Am-
bassador has decidedly ceased his functions, and retired
for the present from that capital. His Excellency was
expected to leave altogether, in consequence of orders
from his Court.%

Should the above report be true, we shall begin to
' indulge a hope that the Cabinet of FERDINAND has at
length recognised the necessity of breaking off its con-
nection with the Usurper. There are certainly some
signs of amelioration in Spanish politics; and should the
rumour of an early convocation of the Cortes be con-
firmed, we do not despair of shortly witnessing a better
order of things in the Peninsula.

The New York Papers, which have been received to the
9th ult. contain a copy of a Bill introduced into the
House of Representatives of the United States, to enable
the Government to establish a reciprocity system of com-
merce with friendly nations. It proposes to allow the
importation of the manufactures and the produce of other
nations, on payment of a duty of 30 per cent. the fact
having been previously ascertained by the PRESIDZINT,
that the countries to which this privilege shall extend, im-
pose no bisler duties than 30 per cent. on the importation

of the produce and manufactures of the United States into
them and all their possessions, either party being left
at liberty to levy internal taxes or excises, to impose
restrictions, or to make regulations of any kind which
shall apply equally, and without discrimination, to the
produce and manufactures of both countries and their
possessions. Here at length is a triumph for Mr. H us-
x mote. The objection to that Right Honourable Gen-
system of free trade as adopted by England,
was its total want of reciprocity, ()Orr nations having
continued to iflu:e i•i t:i.,-(, principles of prohibition
and restrictions whicl. ;lad been repudiated in the
commercial code of this country. Of the nations
which persisted in what was here considered a narrow
and illiberal policy, the United States held n prominent
place. Its tariff, of which the present bill would be a
partial repeal, carried this policy to an extreme length,
that threatened a serious misunderstanding between the
two countries. The United States were informed, by
speeches in the British Senate, that if they did not relax
their restrictive system, the English minister would per-
haps feel himself compelled to retaliate ; that if our Man-
chester goods were to be excluded from the American
market, England would contrive to do without American
cotton, and import the necessary supply of that article
from the East Indies. How far this threat has operated
to produce this favourable change iu the policy of the
United States, or how far their perseverance in the old
system has been found, by experience, adverse to their
real interests, we have as yet no means of judging. It
is to be observed, however, that public opinion in America
has been from the beginning divided upon the subject of
the Tariff; that it was founded upon a collision of in-
' ternal interests, in which the agricultural, com-
mercial, and manufacturing interests were opposed
to each other, and that the eastern and the
western States were by it placed in a state of
discord and contention. It was, therefore, with great
difficulty, and after a long struggle, the Tariff was
passed by the Legislature of the United States, and those
who were interested in its continuance grounded their
hopes principally upon the prejudice which they flattered
themselves was entertained by the President Jacxsox
against England. We fear that the conciliatory dispo-
sition evinced in this Bill will encourage the Mi-
nister to persevere in his plan for suppressing the
growth of tobacco in Ireland, which if duly encou-
raged there, would afford the means of internal improve-
and supersede the necessity of importation from the United
States.—lt may be recollected that Russia also has re-
cently evinced a disposition to relax its prohibitory com-
mercial code, from which there is ground of hope that
old prejudices are giving way in every direction.

A Morning Contemporary, whose impartiality we havo
often acknowledged, in a brief comment upon the proposed
increase of duty upon the Irish Press, says neither
this nor any other Irish subject can excite surprise,
when tho exceedingly inefficient and derelict state
of the Irish respresentation is considered, adding—
" There are not above three or four men of the least
consideration for intellect, or attention to business, among
the hundred Mernbeia who are appointed to watch over
the interests of that country ; and those who are active
are, for the most part, only distinguished for their sy-
cophancy and place-hunting accomplishments." We
cannot agree with our contemporary in this sweeping
condemnation of Irish representation. No country ever
possessed a more honest, faithful, and diligent guardian
of her interests than Ireland has found in Sir Jolts
NEWPORT. In the list of others not wanting in talent,
diligence, and attention to the welfare of their country,
may be found Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. O'CoNN ELL,
Mr. ALEXANDER DAwsoN, Mr. BROWNLOW, the
GRATTAN'S, and many others. Mr. DOGIIERTY is in
office, and Mr. NORTH may be looking to office; but
neither of them are deficient in talent and diligence,
and it would be rather illiberal to presume that a
placentan, whether in possession or expectancy,
must be necessarily indifferent to the welfare of
his country. Many other names might be mentioned
which reflect no discredit upon the Irish represen-
tation, and which might have saved it from this
very heavy imputation.—ln fact, in the want of oratorical
exertion' on the part of either English or Irish members
in the House of Commons there is no just cause of com-
plaint. Perhaps it would be better if there were less
legislation and less speaking. The duty of the representa-
tive is best discharged by constant attendance, and giv-
ing a sound and honest vote upon every question, and that
duty, we believe, is as conscientiously performed by the
Irish as by any other Members of the House.

THE SEA-SERPEN T.—lt appears that this novel visitor
in the waters of the south, has recently appeared in the
neighbourhood of St. Augustine. Capt. Hanford, who
arrived at that port on the 4th inst. in two days from
Charleston, when lying to, off St. Augustine bar, obtained
a full view of the monster, and affirms to the following
description of him, under kis own signature :—" When
we first saw him," says Captain Hanford, "he was at the
distance of 150 yards, with his head continually out of the
water ; his jaws were extended sufficient to receive a rice
tierce of the largest size ; he steered for the vessel with
rapidity, showing many fins, resembling the sword of a
sword-fish, from four to six feet in length. We could
plainly discern four rows of teeth on each jaw ; his
length from 20 to 25 feet. He then stood off to the
north, making a leap forward to catch a porpoise, clearing
himself from the water five or six feet, which gave us a fair
opportunity to view his elegant form. His head appeared
to be as large as a sugar hogshead, resembling that of an
alligator, with his upper jawbone back. He had fins
or paddles on each side near the neck, resembling the
flappers of a seal, apparently the size of a common door.
We saw him afterwards standing in fur the bar, with his
head and tail out of water ; the tip of his tail appeared
very sharp, resembling a harpoon. Should any persons
in an open boat fall in with this hungry-looking fellow, I
should advise them to leave his company as soon as pos-
sible, for he has the power of leaping into and de-
stroying any open boat that may fall in his way."—

waiting for Mr. Pain, the architect, near his residence oe

A German paper contains the following :—" That
Gaspard Hauser (the dumb boy found some time sine:
at the gate of Nuremberg) is of Hungarian origin. seems
daily more and more probable. It appears that he was
born at Vienna. The following is a statement received
from Nuremberg, where this unfortunate young man is
now residing :—the chief magistrate of the town hav-
ing offered, through the public journals, a handsome
reward to any one who could give positive information
as to his birth and parentage, the rector of Pesth, in
Hungary, wrote to the civil tribunal of Nuremberg, that
during a journey he made into Germany in the years
1811 and 1812, he became acquainted with a rector
named Winter, whom he overheard say, ' They may
get rid of the child without murdering it.' On interro-
gating Winter, he declared that he was not in possession
of any minute particulars relating to the child in question,
but that a woman named Valbon could afford much infor-
mation. This woman was found out in a very- singular man-
ner. It was known that she had gone away into Hungary
where she was sought for by the Austrian police, an agent
of which one day made inquiry of a Hungarian Countess.
at Pesth, if she had not in her house a woman name.!
Valbon; but the Countess replied, that she knew no
such person. Happening to mention this circumstance at
table, in the presence of her steward, and the governess
of her children, the latter fainted away, and when she
recovered from the fit, appeared to have lost her senses ;

had lived a long time in the family of the Countess.
The affair made great noise at Peath, many persons
attributing the accusation of the rector to private
malice. Some time ago, a young Hungarian went to see
Gaspard Hauser, and happening to pronounce some
words in that language, they had a most powerful effect
upon him, and put him into a state of excitement.
He said that they recalled the days of his infancy, and'
he even translated some Hungarian words into Germaa.
He described the place at which he passed a part of his
childhood, and his description corresponded with that of
a room of a Hungarian peasant's dwelling. These sin-
gular discoveries have afforded grounds for further re-
searches, and every exertion is making to trace out the
i
birth of Hauser, who, there are some reasons for raa-
gining, belongs to a princely family."

The King's grants are matters of record, and a variety

me with another, through which the King's grants must pass, and
be transcribed and enrolled, that the lame may be narrowly inspected
by his officers, who will inform him if any thing contained therein is
improper or unlawful to be granted. The grants are in letters patent,
that is, open letters liters patents. Grants or letters patent must first
pass by bill, which is prepared by the Attorney and Solicitor-General,
in consequence of a warrant from the Crown ; and is then signed.
superscribed at top with the King' own sign manual, and sealed with
his prh•y signet, which is always in the custody of the principal Se.
:rotary of State; and then It passes under the great seal, in which
..ase the patent is subscribed in these worps--"per ipsuas tepees,"
ny the King himself. Some grants only pass through certain
others, as the Admiralty or Treasury, in consequence of the sign
manual, without confirmation of the signet, the great or privy seal.
They insert in the King's grants that they are made, not at the
of the grantee, but "er speciali gralia, clerks scienlia, et

BATH, TIIE RESIDENCE OF ROMAN ESIPERORS.-...
The Romans, characteristically luxurious in their baths,
and choosing their situations with the most scrupulous
care, were not likely to neglect the advantages which
such a neighbourhood presented. The mildness of the
air, and the lovely amphitheatre of hills which surround
this valley of waters,, would tend still farther to delight
them with the station—the best counterpart of their own
Italy which the uncultivated land afforded—and we
accordingly learn from the best accredited accounts, that
it shortly became the favourite residence of the Roman
governors, and sometimes of the emperors.—Dr. Lard-
ner's Cabinet Cyclopedia.

CANADIAN LOYA LT i.—During the last Americans
war, an innkeeper (named Palmer,) who lived near Fort
Erie, had a picture of his late Majesty George the Third,
which was suspended over the chimney-piece in his best
parlour. It so happened, that an American General was,
quartered at this house, and observed the picture.
One day, he took some pieces of paper and stuck them
over the eyes. When Palmer came in to make up the
fire, the General said to him, " I see you have a picture
of your old blind King, Mr. Palmer;—" Ay," says
Palmer, who was busy with the fire, " his Majesty is an
old man, and has lost his sight.,'—" Yes," replies the
General, " he has ; look at him, look at the picture."
Upon which the landlord, casting up his eyes and observ-
ing the pieces of paper, made a blow with the tongs
which Ile happened to have in his hand, which, if it
had not been caught by some bystanders, would ine-
vitably have spoiled the Republican's joking; as it was,
he was knocked down, and the picture remained there all
the war, and, for what I know, does still, as I saw it in
1815, and last time in 1822. United Serriee Journal.
DEAFNESS AND DIIMBNESS.—This most distressing
affection is the aphonia surdorum of nosologists, speech-1
lessness from deafness, either congenital or produced
during infancy. There is nothing which relates to the
intellectual acquirements of early life more certain, than
that the noblest of them all, the acquisition of vocal
speech, depends entirely on the sense of hearing.
Guided by the ear, the child is early taught that by an
exertion of his will he can produce certain vocal sounds ;
he endeavours to imitate the words spoken by those
around him, his first attempts are unsuccessful, because
his memory is yet feeble, and his voluntary actions in this
instance, just as in his first amusing struggles to gain
that erect position by which man is distinguished, are
irregular and uncertain; but repetition brings continual
improvement, age developes the other faculties of the
mind, and without the least regard to those vibrations in I
his throat, or those motions of his tongue and lips, by
which his purpose is accomplished, he goes on from in-
distinct prattling to the acquisition of perfect speech, re-
gulated
solely by the ear. Those who have been born
deaf, or who have been affected with incurable deafness
before articulation has been attained, or suilicientlT
impressed on the memory, remain consequently without
the power of speech, and, if left to themselves, no at-
I tempt is ever made by them to attain it. Persons in this
I condition, therefore, are dumb only because they are deaf,
or, in other words, they are incapable of using language,
the sounds of which they have never heard, and conse-
quently cannot attempt to imitate. The organs of
voice are not in the affection here referred to imperfect—
the physical defect is altogether confined to the organs of
hearing. A defect in the faculty of hearing is frequently
the cause of backwardness of speech in young children.
Parents, who find their children do not speak at the pe-
riod when speech is usually developed, should not neglect
to have the organ of hearing carefully and properly in-
spected, as deafness does not often arise from any organic
or permanent defect.—Extractedfrum Mr. Curtis 's Es-
say on the Deaf and Dumb.

Dtsrt:tcv darttAN ScitooL.—The annual meeting
of this society was held on Tuesday at the City of Lou-
don Tavern, the Rev. G. V. Sampson, of Londonderry,
in the Chair. The object of this Institution is to board,
clothe, and educate destitute. orphans of both sexes,
whose parents have been of respectable character and
station, and subsequently, as far as possible, to procure
for them suitable situations. No distinction is made in
the election of the candidates on account of their peculiar
religious tenets, but every pains are taken to instil into
their minds the general principles of Christianity by
means of sound and scriptural education. In order to
facilitate the selection of the proper objects of this insti-
tution, London and its environs have been divided into
four districts, and the election of the candidates is con•
fined to the subscribers resident within their limits; and
every village beyond these precincts that shall return
twenty-four annual subscribers of one guinea each, is
entitled to the privilege c.f appointing its own nominee.
We are happy to be enabled to state that many new sub-
scribers were announced, among whom were the follow-

The 74-gun ship Tapperheten was sold yesterday by
auction, for the small sum of 15,500 dollars. Three
years ago she was sold for about 33,000, which was con
sidered then to be n very small sum. She was formerly
a Swedish ship, but sold to the Colombian Government,
and arrived here about three years since. If we are not
mistaken, she was sold to pay off expenses. She has
been lying here ever since that time, with her valuable
armament. If this is any criterion of the value of public
ships, we believe they have never been held in less re-
, pute.—Americas Paper.

On Sunday evening, between nine and ten o'clock,
burglary was committed on the premises of Lord
Lid), Maryborougla, No. 3, Saville-row, Burlinot
street, when plate and jewelleq to the amount of •:,t,.••;/
were stolen. It appear:A that his Lordship was out of
town during Sunday, and the residence way ;))
Lady Marrliorough and Miss Emily Georgiana
daughter of Sir Charles Bagot, our Nlinister in the Ne-
therlands, who married his Lordship's eldest daughter,
together with a numerous retinue of servants. In the
early part of the evening her Ladyship and Misz Bagot
drove out, and at nine o'clock the servants saw he: Lad:, -
ship's jewellery on the tables in Lady Maryborcugh's
dressing room. A portion of the trinkets were deposited
in a square red leather box, which contained, amongst
other valuables, a necklace of Indian gold chain, atixeJ
to which was an ornament of turquoises, set with costly
brilliants ; a double Indian gold chain, several Indian
coins, and two rows of Roman pearl. The remainder of
the property was scattered carelessly on the dreesin,;
tables, in the same state as her Ladyship had left it.
Lord Maryborough's residence adjoins an unoccupied
house, which has been untenanted for a consider•
able time, and it is conjectured that the thieves en •
tored this house before they introduced themselves into
his Lordship's premises. The robbery was discovered
previous to her Ladyship's returning home, and the ser-
vants having given the alarm to Sergeant Baker, of the
police force, division C. he proceeded to examine the pie-
, mixes, and found that the area doors of the empty housa
had been apparently opened by false keys, and this the
thieves effected with facility, as the door was only secured
by a spring lock. They afterwards, it is supposed, pro-
ceeded up stairs to the attics and got out of the windows
upon the roof of Lord Maryborough's mansion, into which
they obtained admittance by opening a small trap door ;
they then proceeded down stairs, the servants being en-
gaged at supper, and experienced no difficulty in carrying
off her Ladyship's jewellery. The robbers escaped with
their valuable booty by returning into the empty house,
and reaching the street through the hall door.
The police commenced a strict search throughout the
premises, and found a silver candlestick in the hall of the
empty house, a pair having been stolen from the boudoirs
and an elegant album, belonging to Miss Bagot, was
found thrust among the soot in the hall chimney. Many
of the trinkets possessed a value far beyond their intrinsic
worth in the estimation of Lady Maryborough's family,
as they had belonged to Miss Louisa Begot, her Lady-
ship's grand-daughter, a young lady of great beauty and
accomplishments, who died at the early age of seventeen,
in the year 1824. One of the mourning bracelets con-
'tamed an inscription in memory of Miss Begot, and also
a lock of her hair.
