of men, and a Chip of 26 nine and twelve

Two Sicilies ; the tonflia began at 71a)

afternoon. The Algerine received the

that their forces conlift of 1000
cavalry, and the fame number of;
infantry. ## :,fy}
Yesterday evening &Alarm was
considerable here, and every body
flew to arms—all the avenues of
the city, were occupied. The city
was lighted up, and an attack was
every" moment expected, but we
were fortunately difaDDoioted. We
are this instant informed that the
Cofficki in the environs.of Kame

were puffing the Dmeftef, and en

brother Prince Muly Taib,
with another body of 35,000
horse, when they are to pro

with a view to depose their
