Mercury
The Liverpool Advertiser of lst, con-
tains London dates to June 29th, detail
ing at great length the demise of the
King on the 26th June; the proclaiming

the proceedings of Parliament in rela-
ton thereto.

Parliament was drawing to close, as a
dissolution of the present p Parlament was

We find in the Liverpool paper no lat
or intelligence from the Continent, and
no new items of interest.
The accounts from the French expe-
dition against Algicrs are three days lat
er than before received, at which time
the French army occupied its first posi-
tion.--1he London papers consider the
fall of Algiers as certain.
Great distress appears to prevail in
Ireland on account Of scarcity of pro-
visions, and serious apprehensions of a
famine are feared in many districts of the
country.
The Paris Moniteur of June o6th,
states, that the elections for Deputies in
90 of the Departments, had been post

DEATH OF GEORGE Nv.
That affecting event which was antici-
pated at the very commencement of his
Majesty's illness, has at length taken
place. George the Fourth, yielding to
an incurable and painful disease, breath

disturbed in the course of the
night, to call them up. His Majesty
