NARRATIVE OF O'REILLY'S EXPEDITION, :'ROM THY. JOURNAL OF A BRITISH OFFICER. From the United Service Journal for May. Cot nun Y. At no former period have the vast military and naval resources of France been more rapidly developed, than in the grand scale of the expedition destined for the attack of Algiers. From Cherbourg to Toulon, nothing is heard but the notes of warlike preparation. Superior as will be this armament, both in numerical force and military character, to every other which ever departed from the shores of Europe, to chastise the insolence of the Barba , rian powers, there exist circumstances which render the ulterior success of the expedition problematical. Imposing as are the preparations of attack, it must 1* recollected that the materials for defence are eqnally formidable. Since our attack in 1815, the Dey has not been The city, by Nature strong, has been rendered by the art of foreign engineers nearly impregnable. A formidable chain of batteries lines the coast, at all the vulnerable points. Large bodies of troops, chiefly cavalry, are march ing from the interior to the coast, prepared to give the invaders a warm reception : these, taken in conjunction with the nature of the country, particularly favourable for the operations of cavalry, and the sultriness of the cli mate, will present a combination of serious obstacles, which even the consummate skill and well-tried gallantry of a French army may find it impossible to overcome.— Neither does the experience of the past warrant the ex pectation of success. Charles the Fifth, at the head of a numerous and veteran army, retired front before the city covered with disgrace. The little impression made by the bombardment of the French in the reign of Louis XIV. may be gathered from the answer of the Dey to the French Admiral, who, on being told by the latter the number of millions which the expedition had cost the Grand narque, replied, " Had his Majesty only sent me half that sum, I would myself have razed the city." Towards the close of the last century, the Spanish Go-' vernment fitted out a formidable armament against Algiers, which at the time riveted the attention of all Europe, the disastrous result of which cast a lasting stigma on the Spanish arms. The following account of the expedition is extracted from the Journal of a British Officer in the Spanish service: " Early in the month of June, 1776, my regiment, the oth of the line, was ordered to march on Carthagena, where was assembling • powerful armament, under the command of Admiral Don Pedro de Castijon, on board of which were embarked a large body of troops, commanded by General the Conde de:O'Reilly, with an immense quantity of military stores, &c. " On the 22d, there was a solemn ceremonial in the church of San Francisco, in honour of La pstrissista Conception, patroness of all Spain, attended by the principal officers, imploring ber pro tection, and success to his Majesty's arms ; which was followed by &pompons oration from theCommander-in-Chlef, the CoodeO'Reilly. "On the following day the fleet sailed ;and anchored in the Bay of Algiers on the Ist of July. The expedition consisted of Linemf-battle.ships 6 having on board 20,000 infantry. Frigates l2 . t 800 cavalry. Xebecs .. Gall iota Ureas Bombs Anned vessels 51 and 341 tranapta. 25,100 Artillery-90 24• pounders Artillery-12 12-inch mortars. 12 twelve do. 16 nine-inch do. 18 eighteen do. t 8 howitzers. 80 field pieces 4 do. From behind a battery east of the river Xaracha, which lies to the eastward of the city of Algiers, was seen a large encampment, from which at sunset we were saluted with a few de joie from small arms. —On the 2d, the principal officers were assembled on board the Ad miral's ship, when orders were issued for the troops to hold themselves in readiness to disembark at daybreak the following morning; but as the night proved squally, and a strong wind setting it upon shore, the order was countermanded. From this day to the 6th, total in activity prevailed ; frequent councils were held, in which violent contests arose, particularly between the Conde O'Reilly and Major General Romani', a man of warm and impetuous temper, who on every occasion sought to thwart the measures of his commander, and drew down upon himself some severe reproofs. On the 6th, the General issued a proclamation, having previously given the officers their final instructions ; in this document, the objects of the expedi tion were commented upon at length. The Moors were represented as only formidable in a desultory warfare. The troops were recom mended not to break their order, as nothing but united force could ensure success against an enemy skilful in this mode of fighting—an error which, however, they afterwards committed, and which proved fatal to the expedition. Each battalion was ordered to provide itself with 200 pioneers' tools, and 200 sand bags; and each brigade on landing to form a company in front six deep, and the guards half a company in front. The army on landing, wu ordered to carry some heights, the possession of which it was supposed would ensure the success of an attack on the city. The order of march was to be in four columns, with the grenadiers and light infantry In advance and on the Ranks, each column to have four field-pieces in front, to be increased as exigency required. Two redoubts were ordered to be thrown up at the point of disembarkation, and a strict communien. tion to be kept up between the army, these fortifications, and the fleet. In the afternoon, some "hips of war were ordered to stand in and engage the batteries; but their efforts proved fruitless, as the San Joseph, 74, only got within range about sunset; she hauled out, without having dismounted a single gun of the enemy's. " On the7th between eight and nine thousand men were embarked on board the launches, and advanced very near the shore, about a mile to the westward of the river Xsracha, covered by the gallies and two long boats, each mounting a long twelve-pounder ; but at seven in the evening the boats returned on board the transports; not a shot was fired throughout the whole day. The landing was not effected : it was pretended, because there were not boats enough to hold a suf ficient numberof troops at once; but this was purposely given out in order to conceal the serious misunderstanding that prevailed among the principal officers. Orders were therefore issued to man the transports' long boats at day-break the following morning ; but the capita error had been committed in marking out to the enemy the real point of attack. The Bth we. as the Spaniards emphatically call it, " a dia de perdida y sositimento Para &pans." The ships having taken up a position for battering the forts situated on the right and left of the point of disembarkation, the troops to the nem bet of 9000 embarked in the launches formed in ales columns, at the head of which were the grenadiers, preceded by the anned-Xibie. I'm cr. 71). quee, willlots, and other small craft that were to cover the landing. The ships new opened their fire, and the troops moved forward to the point of disembtrkation, about a leinruc and a half diorsnt from the city, the right towards Algiers, and their left towards the cm. bouchutt of the Xaracita when near the beach the vessels opened their fire with considerable effect, and the troops landed in admirable order In the Intervals between them, notwithstanding there were up wards of 110,000 Moors drawn up on the beach to oppose them, two.thirdo of which were cavalry under Lie orders of the Bey of Constastina. The Turkish garrison remained within the city for Its defence. It is said that the Moorish force assembled on the coast amountrd to 150,000 men, one hundred thousand of which were ca valry. .A.s soon as the troops bad made good their landing, they formed she deep according to orders, and the armed vessels divided to the right and left to cover their flanks, while the boats pushed off for the ships to bring on shore the remainder of the troops. On the lonalsg of the first division, a small body of the enemy made a de. Monstrafilt in their front, but on our making an en avant move ment they immediately dispersed. From this instant may be dated the misfortunes of this inglorious day; the troops pushed on having in front the Volurtarios de Aragon y Cataluna, a kind of irregular force. We continued moving till we were in a close country. which the enemy had occupied in small parties, but most advantageously posted in ditches and behind old walls, from which they kept up a galling fire upon our advancing columns. The grenadiers and light companies, which had been pushed forward in adfknee, were re pulsed with considerable loss. At this moment some detachments from the second division joined us, and some heavy guns coming up at the same time, we advanced against some enclosures, from which, however, in spite of our heavy and destructive fire, we could not dislodge the enemy. Our soldiers, who had hitherto behaved with the greatest steadiness and gallantry, on seeing the havoc made in their ranks by the well-sustained fire of the enemy, fell into eon. fission in spite of all the exertion of the officers. In this conjunc. ture, a drove of camels extended themselves on our left, with a de. sign, no doubt, of diverting our fire; in an instant a sudden panic seized the troops, a ay was heard that we were cut off; a complete "debacle" followed, the whole army quitting the field in the greatest confusion, and with the utmost precipitation, leaving an immense number of killed and wounded. Some few of the latter were brought off to the entrenchments, which were hastily thrown up by the artificers and troops of the third division. This work had been already fortified with two thirty-six pounders, to whose well-directed tire, and that of some frigates that stood close in shore, we owed the security of our retreat. Of seventeen engi neer officers who had been sent forward to reconnoitre, fourteen were either killed or wounded ; the remainder not being sufficient to direct the construction of the works, the entrenchments were scarcely extensive enough to shelter the army. In this confined position we were galled by the fire of two thirty-six pounders which the enemy brought out from two batteries on our right, while the Moors galloped up to our very entrenchments in spite of our murderous fire, which killed great numbers of them. The army remained In position till dark, when the regiments were or. deed to re-embark, beginning with the youngest regiments top save time; the disorder, tumult, and confusion with which it was exe cuted, showed the ignorance of the enemy, who might with ease have cut off the major part of our army. Our loss amounted to upwards of 5,000 killed and wounded; the Marquis de Romani fell at the head of his brigade early in the :tenor.; the loss of the Moors was estimated at 6,000 men : no quarter was given to our wounded, the Government having offered ten sequins for the head of every Spaniard ; fifteen pieces of cannon, three howitzers, and an immense quantity of arms and ammunition, were abandoned to the enemy. " Thus terminated an expedition which, from the length of time taken up in the preparation and the delay in the execution, gave the enemy en opportunity of preparing for its reception. The generals were ignorant not only of the force of the Algerines and the scite of the coast, but even after reaching the Bay of Algiers, the point of disembarkation continued to be among them a matter of dispute. Bow far at lest it was well judged is not determined, but even ad mitting it to have been so, the great error consisted in pushing for. ward the first division immediately on landing ; they should have entrenched themselves, and have waited till the whole army had landed, and then have moved forward ; but the idea of penetrating into an enclosed country, with a single division, in which the enemy in immense force were advantageously posted, was infatuation bor. dering on madness. There unfortunately existed neither talent nor resource after the retreat to remedy the misfortune. On the army's reaching the entrenchment, a warm altercation arose as to what line of conduct was to be pursued r with one solitary exception (Gen. Vaughan, a British officer) it was unanimously agreed to embark the troops, and abandon the enterprise. Gen. Vaughan warmly op. posed this measure, stating that the army should remain In posi tion, and renew the attack on the following morning ; but he was over-ruled. " Large sums of money had been expended in the equipment of this expedition, the public mind was raised to a high pitch of expectation, when the news of the defeat spread consterna tion and disgrace throughout Spain. The court endeavoured to palliate the disgrace, but it was exaggerated by the people.— O'Reilly was universally execrated, and marked out u a vic tim. So general was the outcry, that mobs assembled on the roads to Alicant, and stripped every carriage that passed, with the intention of wreaking their vengeance on that Commander. The clamour was heard at the very gates of the palace ; the Ring was obliged to remove him from the Government of Madrid, and appointed him Captain-General of Andalusia. As a proof of the universal detestation of the Spanish nation towards him, Gen. Re. eardos, who commanded the cavalry of the expedition, and the inti mate friend of O'Reilly, on landing at Cadiz, entered a café, which was filled with officers of the different regiments of the garrison, who, on seeing him, to a man quitted the place and left him to ru minate alone. A Spanish grenadier in giving an account of the expedition to some (of his comrades, said, Nos Mandoron a sierra cow ei Uterus better wife eon la Moos.—" They sent us ashore as if we were going to drink coffee with the Moors." According to the last accounts from Mexico, the law for raising the duties on goods imported in ships belong ing to nations that have no accredited agents residing in that republic has been again discussed. According to statistical statements published in Por tugal, the gross amount of the revenue, in 1827, was 30 millions of francs (1,200,0001.) sterling; in 1828, it was 21 millions (875,0001.) ; in 1829, it was but 16 millions of francs (or 666,6661.) The public debt amounted to 324 millions of franca (13,500,0001. ster ling). According to the accounts of the first quarter of 1830, settled to the 30th of March, seven months' pay is due to the troops of the line on active service ; 34 months' pay is due to retired officers: to the widows of officers 2$ - months : to the royal court 18 months: to the services of the old domestics of the late Queen and Late Princess, 15 months. „,- 2'4z oltr.

From MeMessager ties Chant6re.i. PARIS, APRIL 29. The iltsphury Galva* publishes, in French, the two folios documents, which it has received from London. and which are ti,: sequel to that which we have already communicated to our readets : Protocol of the Conference held at the Foreign Office, Fein may 4, 11130. Present, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Detain, and Russia. After continuing the deliberations on the execution of the deputa tions contained in the protocol No. 1. of this day, the Pleni potentiaries proceeded to discuss the choice of the sorereiga to be given to Greece. The plenipotentiuies of the three courts consider that amun4 the persons who are more particularly to be recommended to the choice of the alliance, by their personal qualities and their situatioa in society, is Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg. He offers to Greece, and to all Europe, every possible guarantee ; and, according to the infotmation which had been collected up to this day, there was rra son to think that Greece would receive him with gratitude. Prince Leopold is not a member of the reigning Royal Family of England ; he is not capable of being called to succeed to the throne : consequently the Prince of Coburg is not comprehended in the case of exclusion, provided for by the protocol of 22d March. As the husband of the Princess, daughter of the King, he was assimilated by Act of Parliament to the Royal Family, with aspect to the ho nour to be enjoyed by him; but it is proved by the explanations given by the Government of his Britannic Majesty, that Prince Leopold is not a Peer of the kingdom, that he has never sat in Par liament, and that since the catastrophe which dissolved the ties which bound him to England be has not exercised there any public functions. In his peculiar situation, as fixed by the marriage contract —a contract by its nature Inviolable, and confirmed by an Act of Par liament—Prince Leopold is wholly independent whatever turn event 4 may take. The plenipotentiaries of France, of Great Britain, and of Russid. thus declares that they united the votes of their Courts in favour of Prince Leopold of Salo Coburg and they have agreed to draw up a joint note for the purpo s e of 'offering to him in the terms and on the conditions inserted in the protocols Nos. 1,2, and 3, of this ' date the government of the new Greek State, with th e titl e o f S o . vereign Prince of Greece, which shall be transferred by inheritance to his descendants. The protocols of this day shall be communicated to Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and that Prince shall be requested to give his as. sent to them. No. 111. PROTOCOL OF THE CONFERENCE HELD AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE, 4ru FEBRUARY, 1830. Present, the Plenipotentiaries of France, (heat Britain, and Ruisia. Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, having been called by the united suffrage of the three Courts, to the sovereignty of Greece, the French Plenipotentiary called the attention of the Conference to the peculiar situation in which his Government is placed relatively to part of the Greek population. He represented that for several centuries France has had the ',ri sible of exercising a special patronage in favour of the Catholics, subject to the Sultan, which his Mo s t Ch r i st i an M a j esty thinks lie ought to give up to the future Sovereign of Greece, as far as concerns the provinces which are to compose the new State. But on resign ing this prerogative, his most Christian Majesty owes it to himself. and to a population which has been so long under the protection of his ancestors, to require that the Catholics of the Continent, and of the islands, shall find in the organisation which is to be given to Greece, securities fit to replace the influence which France has hi. `then° exercised in their favour. The Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and Russia, appreciated the justice of this demand, and it has been mind upon, that the Catholic Church shall enjoy in the new State the ftee and public exercise of its religious worship ; that its properties shall be gua ranteed; that the Bishops shall be maintained in the integrity of the functions, tights, and privileges, which they enjoyed under the patronage of the Kings of France; and lastly, that on the name principle, the property belonging to the ancient French minions, or French establishments, shall be acknowledged and respected. TM Plenipotentiaries of the three Allied Courts, desiring, however, to give to G reece a new proof of the kind solicitude towards it, and to preserve that country from the evils which the rivalry of the se veral religious confessions, professed there, might exist, have agreed that all that subjects of the new State, whatever their form of worship may be, shall be admissible to all public employments, functions. and honours. and treated on a footing of perfect equality, without to difference of faith, in all their religio us , ci v il, an d p o li t i ca l regard relations. PETERSBURG, APRIL 8. At the beginning of this week three officers of the emperor's stall' were despatched for the army of the Caucasus. It is affirmed that they are the bearers of important despatches fur Count Paskewitch. A report has since been spread in our higher circles that in conic. quence of the negotiations with the Porte, the latter cedes Erxerouni with its territory, instead of part of the contributions imposed upon it by the treaty of peace. The mission of these officers is said to be relative to the definitive taking possession of that territory. From the Gazette de France. TRIESTE, APRIL 11.
