LORD EXMOU TH'S EXPEDITION. LETTER FROM AN OFFICER. Nis Majesty's ship Albion, Spithead, July 00, 1816. " We hare been beating about in the Channel for the last week against heavy gales of wind, and arrived here yesterday. We are to-be one of the ' ships employed in the holy war, or crusade, to Proceed against the infidels of Algiers, to abo lish Christian slavery, and to chastise those barbarians - for the outrages they have Mitred in the Mediterranean. The force is to consist of five line-of-battle ships (two of them Tbree-deckers), several heavy - frigates, sloops, fire.stOps, bomb-vessels, socket-boats, &e, be. sid s all the. dread of instruments of destruction for a regular siege. I was at_ Algiers last summer;. it itd a very extensive place; the city contains upwards of 1 UO.OOO iohabitants, the streets.are very narrow, }night i e houses (which are ot wood) are connected to thoSe on the opposite side of the street by large hvions which run across, so that if a few of Olir Con! gre'vv. rockets get amongst them, the c on fl ag r a tion . s"oti he general. la he town is defended by nearly 1000 pieces of cannon, and in some places - 14 e rimparts are ornamented by the heads of Chtis, thins stuck upon long pikes. If they do not . agree t° our terms, the principal of which is the aboll ti" of Christidaslavery, we are ,to attack them, anti b 6 lll and destroy their towns and shipping.

Amongst the : 'most distinguished : Of:leers who have shed a hotre .eit bar upon lreland.oe Spain is General O'lloi*Nyi, the Conde of Abishal.. His tattler a native of Ireland, Colonel of tile Regi melik.of Ihetnia,;. his„mother a Spanibh Lady of distit:c . tion) be was born at ,SLSehaitian's,, and the house in which be first breathed, by.a remark able fortune, escaped the gresof:destruction,whiCh followed the storm and sacking of that foitress in 1813. At the beginning of the sting, ;1e to drive the . French from Spain, General O'Donnel rose into eminence; and for the victory which the troops under his command achieved at Abishal, he re ceived his title. When the hopes of Spain were confined within the walls of Cadiz, and her only refuge from despair Was placed on the exert loth of her Ally, and in the wisdom, virtue, and cou rage of her Sons, the CoAtli: of Abishal was Regioot and a General. When he could more • effectually serve his Country in the Field than in the Cabinet, he ►esigned the couch of Govern, ment for the heelless Camp : he commanded the troops which carried Pon Corvo, and was before Pam')tuna in the early part of - the Battle of the Pyrenn6es, when tile immortal Pictou's division was hardly pressed, ;Mit that lamented Hero sent to know if the Conde of Ahi3bal would. support hint in his determination to hold his gvound to the answer ," I have heard O'Donoel exclaim, was, to send him the best brigade of my little army, - which" followed in person with an immediate reinforcement." When the King returned, the Conde of Ahitt• hal, with the acclamations of the troops under his Cont►t►an►l,, and in ohedietwe to the dictates of Iris loyalty patriotisn►, sent his batttagu•to the foot of the 1:lo one. ' tin the re-appearance of Wtonaparte the Count commanded the Army of the Left, with his head- Cllliirters on the frontier town. Oat the arrival of: the British Ambassador at frun, on his way (via France) to England, General O'Donnei enter . - tained his Excellency, and F ,ate biln his house, and the next utOrning had a Guard of Hommr drawn up on the Banks of the Bitlassoa. The General, attended by his Staff, accnnipanied the Ambassador to the river which separates the two countries, and saluted him as be embarked front Spain. The Ambassador expressed his acknow ledgments ; to which the General limvt.A, and said, ' So, Sir, should the Representative of Great Britain depart hour and be again received in Spain." To a fearless heart General O'Donnel unites a mind enriched with military knowledge ;--- 7 a Sul dies from his cradle, be combines the science and the practice of the 17.rofession.. in battle, he rides upon the whirlwind and he leads thostorm ;—the friend of the deserving and the patron of merit, In_ the Vigour of manhood, he is covered with honourable sears, and shot arc Inuied in his body. To him may Spain look with confidence, and Eng land with affection ; for to be a subject of the United Kingdom 'as a stare introduction to his courtesy, his encouragement,'and his applause. Madame Ltroua, a French Lady, who bad been residing at Brighton some time, while wilk ing on the Steyne on Tuesday afternoon, was sud denly seized with apoplexy, and dropped to the earth. She did nut survive the attack more than ten minutes.—A man, who ventured to bathe, at the same place, during a gale of wind on Sunday afternoon, was drowned. Hisname is NlacoosALD, and he arrived with Mr. DAVIS'S troop of horse to appear in Timm; the Tartar, at the opening of the Theatre. Yesterday. morning a sailor incautiously cross ing the road hear the Elephant and Castle, was knocked down, being violently struck on the breast by the shaft of a gig and trainpled on by the horse. Ile arose immediately and staggered a few paces, when he fell, anti to all appearance would have expired, had it not been for the timely assistance of a professional Gentletnan then pass ing in a gig, whom we 'have since learned to be Mr. Liestosin, of St. -Alhaies, recently resident Surgeon at•the Middlesex Hospital. The house of Mr, hs..ScorT, at Gold's Cleuos near Cheviot, was lately let fire to, it is supposed by n'travelling• woman who had been there the . day before, and wished to borrow a ;Own of Mrs. SCOTT, which was eeltited ; she then said she %voolttmake her repent it. The next night the house was set oil fire, after the family were in bed.

That any Areat undertaking of ibis kind has not yet appeared in England can be.owing only to f,e.. toitous causes. Our history has certainly not been wanting in events deserving celebration, and the native genius of our artists has not been inferior to, that of the natives of any other country; hut circumstances have not concurred until the present day to bring t age! her the causes tie cessary for producing the result of which we are spCaking.
