AMERICA. MORE DISTORIIANC.E.S ON LAKE ERIE. An affidavit of ShadraCh Penn, jun. commander Of a schooner on Lake Erie, published in the • Piterbwrgh . Mercury, states, that on the 17th June, the American schooner Ranger *AS boarded and searched in Put in Bay, by the British brig Tecumseh, Lieutenant Kent, Commander. Several guns were fired on the pent near the month of the bay, as the Rangar was lining within two hundred yards, on her way to etroit. Taking the firing to he signals of distress, the Ranger tacked and stood in for the bay, when a boat left the Tecumseh, which was then discovered to be moored in the bay, and immediatnly approached and boarded the Ranger. The hoarding Officer in-. terrogated, in an imperious s'yle, the' Commander of the Ranger as to his place of destination, loading, hand;, etc.. wrote down the answers, and appeared to sir w some of the crew with considerable suspicion. Winn asked who fired from the Point, the British •Oaier answered, 4e nobody but some Indians." The deponant, however, thinks the firing proceeded from some of the crew of the Tecumseh, and looks upon the conduct of Lieutenant Kent as amounting to a completx search. and as an insult to the American character and a 'g. BROM THE ALBANY ARGUi, JULY 19. The scarcity of bread corn in New Hampshire and Vermont, in the northern parts of New York, and in Canada, is so great as to excite painful apprehensions on account of the poorer classes of society. In some places corn has been sold as high as three dollars per bushel, and flour from 15 to 20 dollars per barrel. Great quantities of flour have been purchased in this and the neighbouring towns, and at New York, for the country and Canada markets. But the greatest appr.hension wises from the fact, that grain cannot be procured in many of the interior towns at any price. The picture of distress is very much height ened by the gloomy forebodings of an increased and prolonged scarcity. On account of the elm-me backwardness of the season, and severe drought, the proapects of the farmer are distressing almost beyond precedent. The grass in many districts does not promise a quarter of a crop; corn is very pcor, and his lead ul that but very little of it will mat to maturity. Wheat, rye, and oats look die most promising.. Some of the pastures are completely (hied up,'and present the apparance of a brown heath. In an excursion to the north part of the state, the editor found it impossible to obtain grass for his team at some inns, even from the mea dows. The rain of Wednesday was a rich blessing ; and we hope its extent has been commensurate with its want. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 13. The following now has been sent by the Duke of Ragusa to the Edit.sr of the Journal les Deka: : " Cbatilion, Sept 10.

M. de Savigny, the surgeon, has published a letter in the Moniteur, in which he denies that he either sent Or authorised the sending of the article on the loss of the Medusa to the Journal di: reboth but he avoids saying whether in fact he Wrote the article in question. M. Seguier, former Prefect of the Somme, is op pointed Prefect of the Meurthe, in theroom of Count leisaint, allowed to retire. The Count 'de Lezzy-Marnesia, Prefect of the Lot, is appointed Prefect of the Somme, in the room of the Count de la Vieuville. Count de Germiny is appointed Prefect of the Loit in the room of Count de .Lezay-Marnesio, called to the prefecture of the Somme. M. Seguier, who is thus appointed Prefect of the Meurthe, was some months ago Prefectot the Somme. No functionary had distinguished himself in his inn. portant functions by more devotedness, more wisdom and intelligence ; his removal therefore was not for the want of these qualities. At a moment when secret societies were multiply. ing sin France in a truly alarming manner, his Ma. jesty was pleased to make known, by an authentic act of his will, that lie would not suffer any associa tion of that kind. He ordered, in consequence, the removal of two public functionaries at Maim., who bad taken part in that which was formed in that town. and the better to mark his formal resolution, he even ordered the Prefect, M. Seguier, to be removed. although he did not belong to the associating), but because, aware of its existence, he had tolerated it, and had not pointed out the members of it to his Mi. sistrts. This act of just severity, having only bees meant as an example, was not long to deprive the King of M. Seguier's services: all true friends of le• gitimacy and of the country will see with joy the Royal benevolence recall to useful functions an admi nistrator as meritorious for his intelligence as for his fidelity ; his moderation, and attachment to the Charter. In M. de Getminy, appointed to the pre fecture of the Loire, the King has doubtless wished to recompense the excellent principles which he pro. Jested in the last Session of the Chamber of Deputies.

The English Captain Brisbane, 11 ig.captaii of Lord Exmouth. passed through Paris op Thursday, on his Way to London. with all speed, with dis patches} Qn his road, be gave some very interesting details of the battle of Algiers, which was extremely sanguinary.

His Lordship was wounded in the cheek, and received a serious contu sion in the leg. Admiral Milne was also wounded, as was the Captain of the Superb dangerously. It is not true, as was at first asserted, that the Eng lish disembarked and took possessiNs of the batteries. It was the conflagration of the Algeriae fleet which decided the capitulation. The town was not entirely bombarded ; the vessels elhich carried the Congreve rockets (3) not having arrived in time for it., battle. The capitulation did not stipulate for the destruc tion of the fortifications ; but the conditions already mentioned were agreed to. The Algerines fought with a fury and rage inex pressible. The Dey, in a small openboat, went during the battle to every part of the batteries, and himself encouraged the cannoniers. His soldiers gave loud shouts at his approach, and kissed his robes with re- i spent. It is thought that the English fleet, which has suffered much, will gO to Gibraltar to repair its da mages.—lt is announced that Lord Exmouth, after having insured the execution of the convention made with Algkrs, was to proceed against Tunis. Already, it is said, the government of that place has sent a flag of truce. MARSEILLES, SEPTEMBER 7. The following are some details which have reached us as to the affair at Algiers. It was the imprudence of Alfareb Esseby, the Dey's Minister, which opened the entrance of the port, by not making use of the batteries which should have defended it. The most violent fire of the assailants therefore took effect on the rear of the Algerine batteries. They fought for six hours like true Mussulmen, without taking either repose or nourishment, and the Dey did not yield in courage to any soldier. It is believed, that, had Lord Exmouth continued the fire of his artillery two hours longer, the place would have presented only a heap of ruins, and he could have planted the English. flag in the room of that of the Crescent. The expe dition was brilliant, and does honour to English va lour ; but it has this embarrassing about it, that an English Admiral has consecrated by a treaty. in the mime of his nation. the existence of a power which had been hitherto treated only as a vassal of the Su blime Porte s 370,000 dollars cannot indemnify Great Britain for the more than million sterling which she has expended on the expedition : and then it is asked, I what guarantee the pirates can give to persuade us that European plisoners of war will not be treated as slaves ? It is mod, that the English have lost three vessels, and that the Zealous could with difficulty be taken back to Gibraltar. Time alone can discoid* whether our fears are chimerical. ROME, AUGUST es.

" Paris, Saturday evening, Sept. 14. 41 The contest between the contending panics in the approaching election is likely to be very severe. Addresses are understood to have been sent to the different departments by the Ultra Royalists. The following quotation is from one of them : Ge What Royalist could doubt the word of a Mo narch, whose glory is to 4 to ray 'Waist in wain r Is it possible that the personal enemies of the King should monopolize all honours and rewards ?

PRIVATE LETTER. /I'Vesterday was a day of triumph for all the fa• natical and bigoted populace of Mimes. The famous brigand, Trestaillon, returned to his home at ten o'clock in the morning. His accomplices, who like him haie escaped the justice of the laws, were about to raise triumphal arches before his house, and to form a procession through all the city, accompanied by hautboys and tambourines, but it ie believed that ' the Authorities interfered to prevent these public transports, and these things did not take place.— Nevertheless this brigand received the visits of more than tanks Asgard persons. whose acclamations al. most split the head (a rustles), as they cried in Patois Lou rq dsis Sour:gas a arrive—The King of the Bourgadeso is arrived. le The arrival of this monster, with the title al l King. within our walls, has put an end to the mystery, and has explained to us why some victims have been put to death on the scaffold, thers destined to ascend it, others sent to the rallies for life, or for many years, and why others are groaning in the prisons, while their accusers—the murderers of their families, and the robbers of their property, have been trium phantly acquitted, are enjoying the ease and comfort procured by their crimes, and are eagerly employed in celebrating with their Chief his return to this city. " This mystery is further explained by the con versation which the robber Magne, General of the banditti assembled at Beaucaire in June 1815, had a few days since with a citizen of Nismes, who was travelling the same route, on the subject of the arrest of the fanatical Boisin, the assassin of General La Garde. Replying to a question which the citizen put to him on this subject, Magne said—' This man will not perish ; it is the policy and the interest too' of the Government to save him, that it may not weaken the party.'—Magne spoke from experience. " In general the fanatics of this Department are determined to do nothing which is contained in the Royal Ordonnances, but as it is conformable to their will. It is for this reason that they will not reorganise the National Guard, according to the Ordonnance of she King. This would also weaken the party, if they were to discharge from the National Guard the Urns was oven) vagabonds—the thieves—the assassins—tba sweepers of she streets, and the shoe-blacks. " This day Trois.tayons (as he is called in our Patois) returned his visits, dressed up in the clothes of the National Guard, and with a sabre under his arm. This has revived the former audacity of his partisans and accomplices so much, that many Pro. testants have already been insulted. " Trois-tayons arrived at Lyons last January from Montpellier, where he ought to have been jadgech He publicly said in Lyons- 4 I fear nothing; I have good papers. They will not condemn me, because I shall reveal. Some Protestants, refugees, who bad the imprudence to say to You will not escape the heavy and just punishment that awaits you,' were arrested and sent to prison. Treimayons was not judged at Lyons, any more. than at Montpellier—he disappeared. How has this monster, accused of the murder of more than ferry Protestants, been able to escape the authority of the Laws ? There is but one answer. It must be because be has most powerful friends. 44 During the fetes which were given to the Duke d'Angouleme at the time of his last visit w Nismes, the busts of the Royal Family were placed on a stage richly decorated and surrounded by valuable trees cut from the estates of the Protestants, and this stage was placed directly in front of the house in which Trois tayons lived before he was arrested. "No justice for the innocent—no punishment for their murderers. Such is the situation in which the Protestants find themselves up to this day 1" • The came of the suburbs of Nimes, inhabited by the pope. lace, who have robbed, whipped, and murdered the Prutettants. _s_ - THE EVENING STAR.
