Lord EX:4OtITH appeared in his place, last night,
!ie 'ROM* of Lords, when the LORD CHANCELLOR,
Jirrified and appropriate terms, communicated to
IC Veteran Hero the unanimous Thanks voted by
:Leif Lordships, for hay splendid services at Algiers.
':::J'answer of Lord ExmouTtt was delivered with

r..:ch feeling, but with equal. self-possession. The
Address ot the Loan CHANCULLON the Vote ot
Thanl:s, and the Answer of the Noble Viscount, were
Auteuil to be recorded on the Minutes. We have
one pleatore iu :taring that, for the gratification of
tie pab.i: generally, the whole of these proceed.
i 375, t.i,11 all the details of the splendid ♦ictory, ob.
tined by this Gallant Commander, will be embodied
in Mr. Ev.tas's Zgis Eneani, now preparing for
:be press.

Mile on this subject, we feel great pleasure in
sniquefing that the City of Marseilles has not been
t.ekward to acknowledge the 'benefit received from
EXMOUTU% splendid victory. That city has or-
two beautiful laver urns to be made at Paris, one

which it bntended to be offered to Lord Exmotrrn.
.23 the other to Sir Housos Lows, in acknowledge-
of the security which they have been so instru-
a mai is procuring for the trade of the MarseWaise
si the Mediterranean.

Wt are happy to observe the progress of the Sewing
Ltks, and tke encouragement held out to thaw;

pat something else must be done before tney can pro-
:lize any efficient reduction of the PoOrßates. First
impel those who employ labourers to give them their
Jae 'wages. Can any thing be more disgraceful than
tfic practice of the Farmers in some parishes, in pay-
their labourers less than half wages, and compel-
ing them to go as paupers to beg the other hail Irian
those who have the management of the Poor Rates?
Our Poor hates, it is Me, hire greatly increased
,ithin these So or 3J years, bet in no ratio to the
statements which, from time to time, are offered to
the public on this subject. In fact, the public are
grouly imposed upon : nor is there any good reason
why the plain :ruth should not be stated. If men
new ways to pay their labourers—if they

. persist in the practice of paying the wages by a
cr, let them uo longer call that levy a Poor Rats,
t gin: it a name expressivie of its ose—" TTifs Wagat

A *rate so levied and so eirplied is highly to be
med. The statements which result from the prac-
c are frauds on the public : the practice is itself
act of injustice; for the laborer is worthy of Isis'
re. Nor can the charge of injustice be removed by
lyinA vie labourer is paid his wages, And it can
sake no difference to him whether it comes from
employel'o pocket or from a rate I for in the latter
yrn rob the man of his fair and' Atilependelit
-,ter, and stigmatise him with the OA* tifipAmps
epithet that on more belongs to him sAgin to his
when Ile works for what he spentk, ,But tttfY
the only injustice which rises out of the system--
rob every parishioner who does net employ la.
;, by making him flay a rate which you expend
paying the wages of your workmen.

Act justly, and the labourer will be able to save
to put into the Bank.

Last night we received the Parts Papers of Sunday.
The •Rya° presided at a Council of his Ministerson
inday, which at till a late hoer.

•_'he Funds rose in the coutse of the sante day, to
and left off at 69f► 804 So sudden an improve-
it is remarkable ; and affords some countenance
the report which was circulated in London yes-
!Ay th.4t the Loan to the French Government
after all, been brought to a successful conclusion.
A Kip! Ordinance has been tasted on the subject
Ole Slave Tri.:e, which, after the great difficulty
lt Wit frumerly said to attend any immediate also-
Ivns of thin traffic in France, is somewhat extraordi.
It ordains that any ship, whether French or
"e.gn, which shall attempt to introduce Negro
It into any of the Colonies of France, withal! the
cf the cage not consisting of slaves, shall be

,sated, and that the Captain, if he is a Fientll-
- shall by inte•rdicted from commanding any via-
i,ll;thire. It is lidded, however, "w ita respect
v,e *Lives," tint " they shall be cmploytt! in the
lony id sorks of public otil4j,"—and what is this
mating the unfortunate victims of the traffic
Fes tea the public instead of slaves to individuals i

first part of the Ordinance is eseelltut—and
is lobe regretted thst any thing should be attached
which can tend to lessen the good effect which
undoubtedly result front it. As a proribionary
dation it may be proper enough, that riebroes int-
' in prohibition of the tat► should be employed
