FROM THE MAINE, SEPTEMBER O.

What is most clearly proved by the rapid victory
of the English over 'the Algerines, is, that it entirely
depends upon them to put an end to the piracies of
the Barbary States. The question therefore recurs,
why do they suffer it to continue ?
CONSTAMINOPLE, AUGUST 24.

General Laßemand • has- gone from Smyrna to
Egypt, and will probably be followed by Savary,
who has hitherto been his travelling companion.
This province seems indeed to become the rendez-
vous of many expatriated French. The Staff Offi:ers
of Bonaparte's army have been taken by the l'acha
of that country into, his service as Minister'.
This city has been again visited by a dreadful cou-
&grating': it broke out in the night of the 15:14ita
the finest quarter of the city, and laid l'2oo houses
and 3(101) shops and magazines in ashes. The Sultan
was present and active the whole night and till nine
in the morning, but did nut find in the Jmnissaries
the requisite alacrity in extinguishing the flames.
The Palace of their former favourite Jussuf Aga
has remained alone undamaged in the quarter which
is destroyed.

The Paris Papers which we received yesterday in-
form us, that the Electoral Colleges assembled on
Friday, to proceed to the election et Deputies to the
new Chamber. The Departmetit of Seine has re-
turned M. M Bxm.aliT and PADQUIEB, but them
were six more Deputies for thit Dopartment still to
elect. Amongst those who were next on the list, with
regard to number of votes, were M. M. LAY/ TTE,
Tax, and 01.1vtatt. The following is an extract of
a private letter from Paris, dated October 5 :
6' A rupture is said to lave taken place between the French
Government and the Pdpe. It appears that an arrangement had
been made by the Count de BLeas with the Court of It•dme, by
which Papal dominion in France became greater that even before
the Revolution. It was lately sent to Paris, for the purpose of
being ratified by the King; but he directly refused to confirm I
it, adding, it is said, that he should never deviate from the old
maxim of the Crown of Fronce-4 Qu'll (the Pope) est une per-
sonae is erre mats entreprenante dont it taut toujours baser acs
pleas, mats quelque fols her les mains.'--Btacas is censured, butt
perhaps without reason; he, in all probability, acted In the spirit
of his instructions. l'he policy of the French Government is
I materially changed since lie went upon his embassy. The work
Is tor which the Abbe Vinson has been recently condemned was
eulogised In the Journals of last year, as breathing the purest
spirit of loyalty and piety. It was even pu: foto the hands of
the Members of bath Chambers, with the recommendation,
either real or assumed, of she Count d'Artols.
" The Ministers tremble at the result of the eleetioni. It is
reported, that the Baron Pimple,. who has just been elected foe
Paris, comes immediately him vies, and that nothing but the
liveliest remonstrances from the Duchess of Angouktne has kept
out Talleyrand. He was willing, it ii said, to come in as Miriis-
ter of the Interior, the Du'ke'of Richelieu still bearing the title
of Prime Minister. The women of rank elk the French Court
are dliided intatwn classes—kr esOriguastir and la irtwin—the
litter have not of law paid their usual court to the King, but
crowd the saloon of Madame d'Angodleme. '1 he Royalists
openly declare that they expect a majority in the next Chamber,
or, at least, such a mlnerityos the Ministers cannot resist.
" A Royalist Opposition can be mush more daring and effec-
dve than a Revolutionary var. The Alit question to crime before
the Deputies will be the propel of an order for egulathig the
n-
publicatioof the d• bates. fita purport of It is said to be, that
no speech shall be published bet by order of the Chamber, and
upon the success of this proposition will depend, in a great mea-
sure, the mask of the conflict between the two parties. The
Royalists ban less experience, bat much more eloquence, if one
may judge by the Members of the late Chamber. side of
the trestiou, too, and the boldness with which they may express
themselves, admits of topics and sentiments calculated to heat a
people sishiLininiable as tistkitretsch.
66 They therefore calculate with reason that much of their
success will depend upon the publicatioh of their speeches. Every
Meinbe.r Is supposed to deliver Ids speech from a written paper,
and this is me general practice, se that even if the prinung should
be prohibited they au be circulated in menuacript.
