From the New York Daily .7drertiser, May TO-.
1t is now forty DAYS since the date of our last
intelligence from England. The great number
of short arrivals in the month of April, gave US
good reason to expect that they would be follow
ed by dearth of news Notwithstanding this ex-
pectation, it is natural that people should begin
the present time there is good deal Of anxiety
for fresh arrival.
The public affairs of Great Britain and France
were in such state at the latest intelligence,
that we are DESTROYS of hearing further from
both countries. In the former, there was good
deal of distress, in different parts of the King
dom, arising from various sources, but charged
By warm partiZans, of course, to the fault of the
years past, serious effort making in that coun-
try, to change the general policy of the govern
ment, in some of its very important branches
particularly in regard to the restrictions upon
trade, the currency, the corn laws, SC. For a
time there appeared to be prospect of some ma
terial change, especially in the system of restrc-
tons upon commerce, and the corn laws. But,
as far as we could form an opinion of what had
occurred in Parliament. since the commence
ment of the present session that prospect had in
good measure vanished, and every thing lcok-
ed like an adherence to the old systems. At
any rate. the ministry appeared to have decid-
eel majority in both Houses, and the probability
is that the cabinet policy, whatever it may be,
will prevail with the present Parliament.
In France, the state of things was very pecu-
liar The government were in the minority of
the Chamber of Deputies, and the ma jority was
so strong against them, that unless means could
be devised to change the parties, there would be
but little probability that their measures would
meet with success, whenever they should convene.
A propagation had taken place and a change of
ministers was expected. and many other specula-
tons were circulated respecting future events, the
correctness OF which we may hope before long to
ascertain. At the same time, the government
had the projected war with Algiers on their hands,
So much had been said and done in relation to
that enterprise, that it would seem to be difficult
for them to retreat from the position they had as
sumed, without the loss Of reputation. Still It's
hazardous undertaking. Whenever the attempt
to subdue that nation of freebooters is made.
it will be found to be no trifing affair." 1t is not
probable that bombardment from the water. in
the manner of Lord Exmouth, would succeed
He taught them lesson which they cannot have
forgotten; and they must be regardless of their
own safety, if they have not proited BY it. 1t
will be serious matter to land body of troops
upon the African shore, sufficiently large to ensure
the conquest of that nation of pirates Besides
the climate has heretofore had destructive eff
feet upon Europeans, when they have been expos
ed to its full force.
That body of French troops, well equipped /
and commanded, and under any thing like fair
circumstances, would conquer any military force
which Algiers could bring against them, does not
admit OF doubt But is difficult thing to trans.
port sucn force, with all the necessary equipage
of war, across such sea, and place them upon
an enemy's territory, under circumstances that
would enable them to display their real character,
Or furnish them with fair chance to shew their
skill and courage in the field of battle; and espe
Tally In protracted warfare.
