 Noples, Axg. l4.-The Dey of Algiers and his uncle continue to attract the notice of the public, for these Turks are running about the streets of Naples all the day long. The Dey is said to have brought with him seven mill ions of francs in gold and on this account it is hoped he may he persuaded to purchase an estate in the kingdom of Naples. One of his servants had been guilty of some act of disO- bedienee, and was sentenced to death for it, The Neapoltan porter was directed to pro- cure cart to carry away corpse he asked if any one in the house was dead, and receiv- ed for answer that the execution would take place in a few hours. On this he ran to fetch a Commissary of Police. who gave him to nn- derstand that he was not to take justice into his own hands at Naples, but must leave it to the Government.

 The rulers Of the earth ought never to tOr- get, that the victory which the French peo- pie have achieved was mainly owing to the decided part which the prOprietors of the French press took on the appearance of the ordinances, in protesting against the illegality of those drspOlic measures. Tine ministers, having attributed the agitation of the public mind to the operations of the press, attempt ed to destroy that mighty engine, under whose power they themselves were crushed to atoms. Their error was. that they did not perceive that the journals were but the echoes of public opinion and that, if that were against them, it was madness to attempt to ride rough shOd over brave and spirited nation like France. Messrs. PUlignac & Co. could never have read the speeches of an iiIustriOns statesman, now no more, who, ID one of the last oratiOns he delivered in Liver pool. thus beautifully described the mighty power which, in the form of public opinion, is at work in the moral and political world.
 Wnat!" said Mir. Canning. what should we think of that philosopher, who. in writing, at the present day, treatise upon naval arch itecture, and the theory of navigation. should omit wholly from his calculation that new and mighty power,-new at least in the appica-
 
 like giant rejoicing in his course ;-stemming alike the tempest or the tide ;-accelerating intercourse, shortening distances ;-creating, as it were, unexpected neighbOrhoods and new combinations of social. and commercial relation ;-and giving to the fckleness of winds, and the faithlessness of waves, the and steadiness of highway upon the land? Such writer, though he might describe ship correctly though he might show from what quarters the winds of heav- rn blow. would be surely an incurious and an idle spectator of the progress of nautical sci ence. who did not see in the power of Steam a corrective of all former calculations. So, in political science, he who, speculatng on the BIitish constitution, should content himself with marking the distribution of acknowledge ed technical powers between the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the Grown. and assigning to each their separate the Lords their legislative au- thority.-to the Grown its 0lto, (how often lsed ?)-to the House of Commons its pow sr of stopping supplies. (how often, in fact, necessary to he resOrted to ?)-and should hink that he had thus described the British I as it acts and as it is influenced in ts action but should omit from his enumer- l 'tion the mighty power of Public Opinion, 'AnVVN'Cu Hh {" UTc. pGcSSs WUlCH pSTVauSSs md checks, and, perhaps, in the last resort. l nearly governs the whole ;-such a man would. surely, give but an imperfect view of the Government of England as it is now mod fled. and would greatly underrate the conn- teracting influences against which that of the executive power has to cOntend.'
 Such were the sentiments of the lamented statesman on the moral and political influence Of public opinion, as embodied in free press. Happy would it have been for Charles the Tenth, if he and his ministers had taken the same enlightened view of the subject. and, instead of attempting to cocrce, they had prudently bowed to power which neither kings nor statesmen can annih,late, though they may, by the wisdom of their proceed ings, direct and control its potent influence.
