The London Courier, which is regarded as the or.
gan Of the Ministry, specuatss rather vaguely on the
| probable disposition which the French will make of
their conquest. II affects, however, to treat lightly
tho alarms Of those who are apprchensive that tho
French nation will attempt To build up u new king
dom in Ag,ers, and extending their conquests the
heart OF Africa, will attack the King of rimbuctoo
IN his mud palace, and add mighty bsrbaric province
to the Empire. "The French may have had" says
tho Courier, "othcr motives besides those which they
have thought II necessary to assign but certainly, il
is due to them to say, that they have hitherto acted
with apparent frankness and if in addition their
declared reasons they wished to give experience to
their young soldiers and employment to their old
ones, the present expedition very fair mode of
obtaining Their object, with great advantage to the
cause of humanity. We would rather thank the

giers, than quarrel with them tho supposon that
they intend to do something more than they engaged

In the mean time, it is said in he .Nessager des
Chambres of the l4th of July that all the contingent
ces of the against Agiers had not been adjusted
IN the conferences and DIPLOMATS negotiations and
that perfect freedom of action had been in the first
instance conceded to France The same paper has
the following important announcement:-"It is also
declared that the rapidty Of expedition, and ofs
results has induced government anticipate the

the Powers deferred should consent To the perma-

would pass off quietly, to the delight of the French
nation and with the ovowed 1hoagh perhaps not
on the contrary, the decision Of Congress should be
against the permanent occupation Of Algiers by the
French the opponents Of the French Ministry would
have to urge that measure, at the risk of involving
France in not merely with but with several
countries. Whatever, therefore, might be the vanity
of the French nation 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they would risk the commercial and agricultural
advantages which long peace has given to them,
merely for the purpose of getting rid of unpopu
lar Administration. Whatever may be the course
of The French Government This affair, we can
not really see any grounds for alarm uneasness
at any rate may rest assured that the policy which
has been hitherto adopted with such success by this
country IN It's foreign relations will not be departed
from.
It seems, therefore, to be expected in England that
the French nation will, through its deputies, insist
on retaining Algers while the French ministry have
made up their minds to refer the question 10 the de-
cison of the Allies.
