FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. ALCIFRC, JULY 24. —It is difficult to form an idea of the horrors of the dreadful tacking, to which 13 or 3,oooJews were given up during three or four hours. A general maffacre, with the exception of women and Children, was determined on by the troops. A num ber of ferocious foldiers foaled iumultuoufly from their barracks, each armed with a piftol and fabre ; all the barbarous rabble of the town joined them ; they were cheered by the exclamations of women, or rather of furies, who crouded the (treets aad terraces. rtunately it was Saturday, a Jewilh feflival, when but very few of that perfuafion were abroad. But f the foldiers burg open the doors of the honfes ; the riches which flctick their view were the means of faving the unfortunate Hebrew nation ; they slifcon tinued the carnage to think only of plunder ; the trinkets with which the women were adorned were torn from them, and they were expofed to all kinds of outrage. The plunder then became general ; fe roci•tus cries were followed by a death-like filence ;the flreets were filled with men and women palling in all direlkns with their booty, and in the courfe of three hours there was not the houfe of a Jew which was riot (tripped to the bare walls. There were but two wealthy honfes which efcaped being pillaged, thole of Me(frs. BACK' and DANINOS, one of which was fituated next to the houfe of a great man, and the other was pretefled by the Regency, becanfe it owed' them about 400,c0c0 dollars. M. Bede Pays, how ever, that he was a lofer of above iso,ooo fequins. There are few cities in Europe, of equal extent, which contain fo much wealth as Algiers. It is generally agreed, that the plunder carried off was intmenfe. The large films in fpecie, and the rich articles in gold and jewellery, which were carried off on this occafion by the Prilkri and the Khails, are already buried in the mountains, and will never ap pear again. It was at &ft laid that but few robberies were com mitted by the militia, hut it has been fince proved that the booty they made was immenfe.—On the loth the Jews had hell' caufe for alarm. A great number of them again took fhelter under the French flag. '['he report that the Aga had met with a check, and the alarm (hewn by the Regency, of a general Tiring of the Muorith inhabitants againft the few Turks who remained at Algiers, created a general confler nation in the town. Many Turks were flrangled, and others baainadoed for offences not connefted with the outrage of the of and sd. Three Moors were banged at the gate of Bab Azonn. The Turk who murdered Bufnagh, after having received his pardon, and obtained permiffiontoretire from the country, took refuge on the Bth, under the Englifh flag. He was fent by the Conful Tome few days after to Gibraltar, from whence it is faid he was to proceed to London. It is not luppofed that the death of Bufnagh was carted by the Englifh, to whom he had been very (err iceable, even againti the opinion of the Dey, in the lad settlement which they made here: but where ever an agent of the Government of London is to be found, he will be always ready to receive and prolett even the nundeier of the perfon who has served him. The Dey rattled k to be proclaimed a few days up, that any woman who fhould appear in public with a g,ll,len fatma, ear-rings, or any other jewels, !limit] be diro%n into the fea, and her hnfband handed. There is always great uneafinefs in this country. The Givernment is equally terrified by the kridiery and the inhabitants ; they wait with the greaten im patience fir intelligence from the Province of Mac cilia.

By the laten difpatches from Ullgnratir, we are informed, that li •Ikar had taken the precontion to fupply the mag tzistes of Bhurtpoor with military and other riot, futficient to maintain a liege of two years, perhaps this report has been exaverated, and pm.- por e ly diffemtnated by feveral deferters from the ene my's army. During the tail attack of the Englilh on the above fort, a number of old guns were brought forward, on the hrlt firing of which no lefs than five of them hunt, killed 20 men, and wounded feveral others. The troops were (truck with a fudden panic, and the artillery corps refuted, for a moment, TO do their duty : Holkar flew to the fpot, attended by the Killadar, and harangued the gatrifon with great fit moth and fpirit. This meafure had the cleared ef- Gil, and the troops returned to the charge with re doulated vigour. It is mitre than probable that this tingle circumflance contributed materially to the fal vation of the place. The fortrefs of Bhurtpoor is memorable for having been a place of refuge for the chieftains of the Dec can, in feafons of extraordinary trouble and ditirefs. It was built by Cuharasnanaa, a Jaut, of the Sewen nee tribe, in the time of Attrungzebe, for an afylum for himfclf and family, after having plundered the rear of the Imperial Army, on its march through the neighbouring country. Here a powerful bandit ti entitling under his banners, he robbed fuch travellers as patted, acquired incalculable wealth, remained a terror to the country, and enjoyed his autbosity till the time of his death. A furvey k about to be made, in order to afcer lain, if poffible, a proper place in the vicinity of the Teak foretis, for forming a deck of conftderAble mag nitude on the Coromandel Coati. The fpirit of (hip building teems to be rapidly pervading all the coatis of this cxtenfive continent. " A favourite fon of Holkar was killed in the !aft attack of the plias on Bhurtprire ;—the event had greatly affeeed Holkar, and had rendered him, when the account came away, incapable of public bafinefi. He has ordered a public ceremonial to be held annually to commemorate his lofs. Accounts from Bombay of the 23d of May nate, that the fleet of Magendanao pirates, Which coniprize 40 large prows, has been reduced to ten or twelve, and that there. to efcape from our cruizers into the creeks of the Celebes,' had thrown their guns over board. The Malabar pirates have likewife been nearly exterminated. ' The new Imaum of Mufcat, immediately after the funeral of his predecelfor, collet:led all his forces and made a fudden attack on the Wahabees, whofe diki pline and vigilance had relaxed with their fuecefs— their camp was furprifed in the night, and thoufands of them were cut to pieces; the ref were difperfed in every direction. A letter from an Officer at Allababad to his friends in Edinburgh, dated March 17, contains the follow ing further particulars with refine to the liege of Bhurtpore " The Newfpapers will have informed you of our repeated failures in attempting to form Bhurtpore. In my former letters (thefe are not yet received) I gave you an account of the gth and azd of January, when our lofs was very fevere, but nni equal to that which WC Inflained in the attacks of the zoth'ind zift of February. On thefe two days our lofs amounted to 1300 killed and wounded, fome fay more. which is greatly aggravated by our want of fuCcefs. The ()Wades thrown in our way by the enterprifing ene my were infurmountable. Among thole who fell, I have to enumerate, of our countrymen, Major MEN. ZIE7I, Lieutenants Kaaa, and ALE:game Hawrz.- I'do not tecollee any more Scotch, unlefs it is Lieutenant GEORGE Maas, whom I did not know.

Captain T. RAMSAY is feverely wounded in the" face; but, I am happy to add, is likely to do well. There is a very Ling lift of wounded, but no more of our.countrymen, fo far as I can recoiled. All the wounded on farmer oc• calions are recovered, and I am happy to fay, are particularly taken notice of by Lord LAKE. " Since our lail failure the army has been. very quiet. - The weather is becoming very warm. In a few days more the hot winds will let in." • ► • Bowasey, Fat. 16.—The following particulars re arding the unfortunate capture of the Shannon and ritamer by the pirates infeiting . the Gulph of Perna are communicated by a letter received from Captain Baacoca, of the former wad, 'dated Butfora, 6th January, tBos : It Is with much regret I have to inform you of the melancholy and unfortunate dreumftance that happened to me on board the Shannon, on the tR day of December lift, in my paffagc up the Dolph, near the ifland of Po!kr, after a (bort, but pretty smart, engagement with fifteen Pirate Dows and Botillas.

Lord Vifcnunt VAL rnm, by his Highnefs the Ptifltwa, which took phice on Saturday the 13th. On the road to Ptxmah, near the village of Orend on the Moola River, his Lordltip was met by Colo nel Csoss, accompanied by his aid de camp, Captain FRIZEL, and the officers of the Poonah detachment, who attended him to a riling ground, a little to the weßward of Connate Coondah, where the deputa tion from the Durbar of his Highnefs the Peilhwa awaited his arrival. The chief perfon deputed on the occafion to receive his Lordthip, was Abbah Poorunderry, the Jagheedar of Sapoor, accompanied by Anund Row, the Miniller for Britilh Affairs, Killnajee Bowajee, Affillant. Dewan of the State, and Seslowjee Row Nepunkeer, who commanded a corps of horfe under General WALLssLsr, during the late campaign in the Dekkan. A carpet was fpread, on which Lord VALINTIA alighted, when the feveral Members of the Deputa tion were prefented to his Lordltip. Being leased, the ufual compliments paired, during which they congratulated his Lorclihip upon his arrival, and ex preffed their fatisfanion at its having taken place at fo aufpicious a period, at the eve of the Dufforah ; they were then prefented with paun, and departed. After this his Lordlhip 4nd Colonel CLosa mounted an elephant, and reached the refidence of the latter, near the town ; which being announeed.'an 'appro priatc falute was fired from the Britilb lines. 9n the 13th, his-tordlhip vifited the Peifhwa, at the hour of four in the evening, having left the Re. fident's houfe, under a falute from the lines, attended by Colonel Cense, Mr. SALT (his LordAip's Secre tary),DF, MURRAY, and CaptaineYoumb and SMITH, Gentlemen of his Lordfhip's fuite. At the bank of the river, his Lordlhip was met by the Peithwa's Miniller, and the Affillant Dewan of the State, who condu.!ted him to the' Palace. At the: entrance to the Hall of Audience, having quitted his flippers, his Lotdfhip walked on white cloth, with which the whole was covered, and was immediately met by the Dewan.

The whole affemblage then feated themfelves, and, aftei the ufual Compli. ments on the occa lion, his Lordtbip and Colonel CLoss were requeßed to retire,' in order thx i t they might confer together more at liberty. After a con ference of about half am 'hour, they returned, and feated themfelves as befOre. No preitents were offered on the occafion, as it was fettled that his Loi dfbip was to r e ceive an entertainment from his Highnefs, at his Garderi-honfe, and a (miler one from the De wan during his flay. On riling to depart, his Highnefs was pleafed to prefent a gold box full of paun, to Lord VALENTXA, with his own hand, and his intention was likewife fignified, of paying his Lordlhip the very marked and unufual compliment of returning his vifit on Thurfday the 18th.
