wished to put aquestion to the klSh' non uentIeT
men. respecting the French Blockade OF Al
riers. Ithad been stated that his Majesty's Gov
eminent hadsdespatched frigate to AiSiers tor
the purpose of removing the British residents
there. 1t was also stated that when that ship ar
rived of Alters she had been prevented by the
French Blockading Squadron from entering the
Port. and had been compelled to sail Tor Malta
He wished to know whether the French Adml- |
raj. under these circumstances. had adopted any
measures to ensure the safety of the British resi-
dents. q, !

was fitting out very considerable expedition
against than place. the British government thought
ii right to dispatch frigate to remove the wives
and children of British subjects from Aiglers IN |
order that they might not be present during the
horrors of the siege. The British frigate arrived
there. and took on board all the women and chill
dren. except the vile Of the Consul, who was un-
able to leave the place in consequence OF Illness
and could not. therefore. take advantage OF the
sailing of the Irigate. On leaving Algiers com
mu,ication took place between the Captain OF tie
British shin of war. and the officer who had the
active care of the blockade. as commander OF the
French Gotilla That individual intnated a
doubt to the commander of the British frigate as
TO whether he could consistently with his instruc-
tions. hermit him to return to take away the wife
of the British Consul; but he said that he would
state the circumstance to the Admiral. and would
be Guided by his orders. The instructions in al!
cases of blockade, were he believed, the same;
but it was customary to admit exceptions IN the
case of packets, and certain ships OF friendly ma
tons. Previously, however, to the French Ad-
miral giving his opinion on the subject, the
French Government itself heard of the circum-
stances. and Immediately interlered. There was
no necessity for making any further application,
as the French Government stated at once that the
officer had misconstrued his instructions, and
that there was not the least intention of inter-
rupting the usual system which p-evailed between
friendly nations. Hear And even before the
British Government had sent the ship Of war to
remove the women and children 10 this country,
the French Government had taken measures to
secure the safety of all Europeans in Algers.-

SIR. wilson said, he was perfectly delighted
with the very satisfactory explanation of the affair."
The Liverpool Albion & May oath says
"We understand, that house engaged in
trade with the United tates refused on Saturday
last on entering quantity of -four, to pay the
town dues usually levied on imported goods, and
that the Collector of the customs received the
Kings duty, although the local toll had not been
paid"

Winchilsea presented petition from Dover. pray
ing that Protestant soldiers in Catholic countries
might be relieved from attending places of pub
lie worship.
The Duke of Wellington. the petition
is read. cannot tell what that relief is.
The petition was accordingly read by the Clerk.
On its being concluded.
The Duke of Wellington observed that he GER
tainly could not say that government had given
an, order to put an end to the military practices
complained of in the petition. There were ma
nv statements in the petition which he knew to
be untrue, more particularly that which declared
that Pagans and others were not compelled to
attend on the ceremonies Of the Church OF En-
Gland Now that attendance he had himself
witnessed.
Lord Winchsea thought that Protestant SOL
tllers should at least be on footing with Catho-
lies, who were not compelled to attend any place
of worship but their own
