Os the enemies which remained to
France, when the First Consul assumed
the reins of government, the Regency
of Algiers was the lead formidable.—
The First Consul, anxious to extinguish
every where the calamities of war, ap
prized that the Dey of Algiers had de
clared war against his inclination, and
was desirous of peace, sent a negociator
to Algiers, preceded by the renown of
those exploits of which Italy, Germany,
Egypt and Syria had been the theatre ;
the First Consuls envoy was received as
he ought to have been. Peace was de
creed, and even proclaimed in the Di
van—However; a new interposition of
the Sublime Porte postponed the signa
ture. War appeared to recommence;
but is was a war without hoftilities.'—
All the French were permitted, freely,;
to retire from Algiers, with all tHeir;
property, and the agent of France wait
ing at Alicant for the moment when
negociations could be refumed,.^<
In short, a definitive treaty, which
affixes to France all the advantages
: ftipulated byithe antient treaties, and.
which by new flipulatione, guarantees
more explicitly and fully the liberty of
French commerce and navigation with
Algiers, was signed the 7th of last Ai
vofe.
They acknowledge no other right of
nations than the laws of their own po
lice, which, permitting amongst them
selves individual violences, authorize
them with refpeft to foreigners, . and
even consecrate them as a&s of courage
towards enemies# They are ignorant
that the law of nations, by its general
rules, abolishes those general rights,
which a people too much inflated,with
their local importance, pretend to infer
from the licence of their usages. It is
to be believed; for the honor of Europe,
that in this refpe& the fUpremacy of the
law of nations, aligning just limits to
the toleration of particular legislations,
,shall not, henceforward, be contemned,
excepting in Africa.
The Regency of Algiers is particu
larly remarkable for an audacity which
certain events must have increased.
THE First Consul having ordered
me to render him an account, in Senate,
of the differences which have lately
happened between the French Republic
and the Regency of Algiers, and of the
success attending the measures which
have been taken to terminate them, I
ought previously to recal the state of
affairs which preceded them.
From the frontiers of Egypt to the
Strait of Gibraltar, the north of Africa
is pofTeffed by a people strangers to the
public code of Europe. The principles
and manners, which, if we may be al
lowed the expreflion, combine the dif
ferent European powers into onefociety,
which net only prohibit oppression, but
enjoin kind reception, protedion and
assistance, in case of danger, to the navi
gation arid commerce of a peaceable
people ; which reprove every unjust
aggression ; which tarnishes that valor
that is attended with cruelty, and which
desire that the rights of humanity should
always remain sacred ; these manners
are still unknown to the people of those
countries.

PARIS, SEPT. 9, xBO2.
THE following is the official report
T made to the First Consul, in the
Conservative Senate, by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, on the 7th inst. viz.
deliver Europe froth the incursions of
barbarians, by reducing them to infig
nificance t but the event deceived him,
arid did not answer to the grandeur of
his preparations.
In later times, Louis XVI. avenged
on the Algerines the honor of the French
flag. Algiers, by his orders, was bom
barded three times in the space of fix
years ; but here his vengeance was
bounded. The affairs of Europe ex
aded all his attention. The Algerines,
by this cirtumftance, however, learned
Charles the Vth turned against Afri
ca his victorious arms. He wished to
from that period to refped France ; —•
and the peace, which was concluded in
1689, subsisted above a century, when;
the instances and orders of the Sublime|
Porte caused it, in the year 7, to bb
broken.
Foreign Intelligence.
REPORT.
On the 18th this officer went on ihore,
was received with diftinftion, presented
to the Dey, and delivered the First
Consul's letter, which was conceived in
'-the following terms :—
Bonaparte, First Confci,to the very high
and ver, magnificent Dey of Algiers,
•whom God prefrve in prosperity &glor,!
" I write you this letter dire&, be
cause I know you have ministers who
deceive you, and who induce you to
conduct yoUrfelf in a manner that may
bring upon you the greatest misfortunes.
This letter will be delivered into your
own hands by an adjutant of my pal
ace. Its purport is to demand from
you prompt reparation, and such as I
have a right to expe&, from the senti
ments you have always entertained for
me. A French officer has been beaten
in the Road of Tunis, by one of your
officers Rais. The agent of the Repub
lic has demanded fatisfa&ion, & could
not obtain it. Two brigs of war have
been taken by your corsairs, which car
fried them to Algiers, and have retard
ed them on their voyage A Neapoli
tan vessel has been seized by your cor
sairs in the road of Hieres, by which aft
the French territory has been violated.
In short, of the vessel which was cast
away last winter on your poaft, 150
men are still milling, detailed in the
hands of barbarians. I demand repa
ration from you for all these grievances;
and not doubting but that you will take
all the measures which I should take in
similar circumdances^ I difpatth a ves
sel to bring home to France the 150
miffing men. I beseech you, moreover,
to mistrust those of your ministers who
are enemies to France fr you cannot
have greater enemies ; and if I desire
to live in peace with you, it is essential
that you Ihould preserve the good un
derstanding about to be re-eftablilhcd,
which alone can maintain you in that
rank and prosperity, you now enjoy ;
for God has decreed the puniJhment of all
those coho are unjujl towards ^ !
“ If you willy to live in friendship with
me, you must not expert to treat me as
a feeble power ; you must cause the
French flag to be refpefted, as likewise
that of the Italian Republic, which has
nominated me its chief ; and you must
make me reparation for all the injuries
which I have faftainedi This letter
being intended for no other pUrpofe, I
requeil you to read it yourfelf with at
tention, and let me know.by return of
the officer I fend you, the resolution
you mean to take.".
But very soon we learned that Al
gerine armaments overrun the Medi
terranean, desolating the commerce of
France, and infesting its coasts. Even
the flag and teredo' ) of the French Re
public was not refpefted by the cor
sairs of the Regency. They carried
into Algiers transports which foiled
from Toulon destined for St. Domingo.
They seized a Neapolitan vessel in the
leas, arid almost within the banks of
France. An Algerine rais dared in the
ribadof Tunis, to make a captain of a
parent merchantman submit to infa
mous treatment. The barks of the coral
company, which, agreeably to the
teims of the treaty, went to fifh for co
ral, were violently driven from the coast.
Th, Charge d'Affaires in vain demand
ed fatitfadion. They had the presump
tion to make him propositions injurious
to ts • dignity of the French nation—
that trance should purchase the execu
tion of the treaty.
Informed of these aggredions, the
First Consul ordered a naval division
to fail for Algiers.
I transmit, by his orders, the instruc
tion to the Charge d'affaires, the citi
zen Dubois Thainville, who deported
himfelf with as much energy and dig
nity, as he conducted with prudence.
The division commanded by the con
tre-admiral LeiffegUes, appeared before
Algiers the 1 7th Thermidor —adjutant-
commandant Hullih, an officer of the
palace, was on board, the bearer of a
letter from the First Consul to the Dey.
The General Peace was concluded,
and commerce began to resume its ac
customed routine.
Whatever were the secret Intentions
of th Dey, he 6nly teftified the desire
of liYi± m. 4 good understanding with
the French Republic. « I wify always
to be," fays he " the friend of Bona
parte?
He promised, and adually gave eve
ry fatisfaa&u that was demanded.
2d. You demand from me the Nea
politan polacre, taken, you fay, under
the cannon of France. The particulars
of this tranfadion, as reported to you,
are not correft ; but agreeably to your
request, 1 have delivered up 8 chriftians,
computing its crew; I have surrender
ed them to your Vekil.
3d. You demand a Neapolitan veflel,
which; it is said, failed from Corfu with
French clearances. No French papers
were found on board ; but, in conformi
ty to your desire, I have let the crew
at liberty, and have delivered them to
your Ve§il.
4th lou demand the punishment of
the rais who brought into this port two
vessels belonging to the French Repub
lic. According to your request I have
difehirged him from my service ; but
1 muff inform you that^py rais know
hot how to read EuropMn characters ;
they are only acquainted with the usual
passports ; and for this reafoh, it will
be proper that the vessels of war, be
longing to the French Republic,should
make some signal, whereby they may
be known by my corsairs.
sth. You demand 150 men, who you
fay are in my territories, there does not
one of them exist. It was God's will
that they all should perish, a circum
stance which occasioned me great pain.
6th. You fay there are certain per
sons who give me codnfels that may
embroil me with yoti. Our friendship
is solid and ancient, and all those who
seek to embroil us fhail be disappointed.
7th. You demand that I fhail be the
friend elf the Italian Republic. I will
refped its flag the fame as your own, as
you desire. Had any one else have
made a similar request, I would not
have granted it for a million of dollars.
Bth. You would not give me the
200,000 dollars which I demand of
ybu, asa recompense for the losses which
I have sustained for you Whether you
will give them, or will not give them,
we will, notwithftailding, always be
good friends.
9th. I have terminated with my friend
Dubois Thainville, your Vekil, every
thing refpeaing the coral fifhery, which
your vedels can immediately refame.
The African Company shall enjoy the
fame prerogatives which it formerly en
joyed : I have given orders to the Bey
of Constantine, to afford it every possi
ble protection.
10th. I have fatisfied you in every
tefped as you have desired, in whatev
er you have demanded :' In return, you
will fatisfy me, as I have fatisfied you.
lith. Therefore, I request that you
will give orders, that the nations my
enemies may not navigate under your
flag, hor that of the Italian Republic ;
that there may be no farther difeuffions
between us, as Iwilh always to be friends
with you.,.
12th. I have ordered mfr Rais to
refpe& the French flag at sea. I will
punier the firft who (hall bring a French
vessel into my ports.
To render particular homage to the
First Conful,in the person of this Envoy,
he was disposed even to dispense with
the ordinary forms ; and contrary to
the immemorial usages of the Regency,
he received, in the mod magnificent
kiofck of his gardens, the officer of the
palace, the charge d'affaires of the Re
public, the centre-admiral Leiflegues,
and his numerous etat-majors. It was
in that place that he delivered to Gen.
Hullin the anfiver, which he had pre
pared for the First Consul, in substance
as follows :—
“ In the name of the only God, the
God of mankind, our matter ; the il
lustrious and magnificent lord Musta

®WCT&, anti
balance a moment to violate the refect
due to any nation ; and ft grieves us to
''add that their outrages are general,
looked upon with stoic indifference.
About thirty years since, an alarm
ing tumult having taken place at Tan
gier, the Emperor of Morocco sent
part of his cavalry against the insur
gents ; this force was headed by a com
pany of the Emperor's Life Guards,
conlilling of three hundred and fifty
horsemen, every one of them immedi
ately issued from the loins of the Impe
rial tyrant. The Brhifh Consul who
had been at Gibraltar for some private
business, happened to return at the mo
ment that the troops made their appear
ance—he had put on the dress of a
Muuulman, as foreigners frequently do
to avoid the contumelious language of
the populace. A trooper of the spuri
ous Royal offspring no sooner perceiv
ed the Consul, than he chopped off his
head, and all the fatisfaftion which our
Cabinet received for this fhocxing mur
der was a declaration from the Empe
ror, that his beloved son had mistaken
the Consul for one of the rebels. The
lead deficiency or delay in the payment
of the tribute agreed upon, never fails
to inflame the rage of the Emperor,
and those Consuls or Agents who are
obliged to be short of punduality are
commonly terrified with.dreadful Im
perial messages, menacing to have them
cast to the lions, and other wild beaßs,
which the Emperor keeps as the engines
of his bloody purposes, and the prime
millifters of his tyranny.
The Dey of Algiers, andthe other Af
rican Rulers, are not less ferocious than
the fable Emperor, and nothing can ap
pear more curious than the idea which
these sanguinary despots have oflegifla
tion and justice: An instance of this
may afford some amusement. The
Ship of a Portuguese having entered the
port of Algiers under French colours,
the Captain on landing happened to
meet a Venetian to whom he was in
debted of 500 zechins, aboutfzgo fter
iing—the Venetian dethanded his mo
ney, but the Portuguese, though he
owned the debt, refuted to discharge it
at that time : Upon this the Plaintiff
fwmmoned his debtor before the Dey/
who without bearing any thing of the
dispute; aiked the patties whether they

Dey. adjourned the Cause to the ehfu

In concluding this Report, I ought
