The Elections in France were to tegIn on
the Esd ofJune.. The Liverpool Times says :
"On the part of the Court, measures have
been adopted which we in this country should
call utterly unconstitutional. Not only have
the heads of the army, and OF all the other de-
partments ofthe government, exhorted, and
even commanded, all officers, civil and mill
tary, possessed ofvotes. to come forward and
vote for the ministerial candidates, but, by
way of completing the work, the King has
published an address TO the electors, calling
on them to support the Ministers. The SEN
timents avowed in the last mentioned docu-
ment are quite. inconsistent with all cur no
tiuns, and indeed with every reasonable no
ton, Of constitutional freedom.
"The struggle which is about to take place
its results will probably depend the question,
whether France is to possess constitutional
government, under which it may long enjoy
peace and tranquility, or whether it is to be
governed for time by servile and bigotted
faction, with the certainty of the rule Of that
faction being terminated, sooner OR later, by
desperate and perhaps sanguinary revolu-
ton. The best thing that can happen to the
Court will be to sustain complete and signal
defeat-a defeat SO signal as to bring it 10 its
senses, and show it its danger, ere it, is too
late, We should not regret the triumph
of the government of Prince Pognac from
any fear that the triumph would be perma.

as 10 involve not only France, but possibly
the whole of Europe in confusion. France is
the very last kingdom in the world to be long
enthralled by an absolute government. The
habit of implicit obedience has been broken.
The people know their own power and if
the government will not allow them to exer-
else a peaceable and constitutional influence,
they will exercise violent and ungovernable
authority"

ALslERs.-We have very recently had an
opportunity to converse with very ntelli-
gent gentleman, who passed good many
years in the city ofAlgiers, under circumstan-
ces which enabled him to become well ac-
quainted with the character of the people and
government, with their military capacity, and
their meaas of defence. He is decidedly of
opinion that they cannot resist the French in
vasion. The city is strongly fortified on the
water but the coast is fine beach, and ex-
tremely well fitted for the landing of troops,
and there are no means OF serious opposition
or annoyance. And when landed. the bar
barian forces are incapable of withstanding
the disciplined troops of France; so that, in
his opinion, if the French army is we'll com
manded, it il scarcely possible that they
should not succeed. Indeed, he thinks that
much smaller fOrce than the French have
sent against them, would be sufficient to over
come and conquer the undisciplined rabble of
