On the fourth of January, of the present
(year, we put to ssissca from the Capes of the
siDelaware ; and by the blustcr of winter,
{were driven through the Atlamic, over head
and ears in brine and suds, without a dry
thread about us: in 36 days we sircachcd
Algicrs. One ofour vessels, a ship of be
tween two and three hundred tons, and 30
i'pcople, 'broached to in a storm and went
sidown, poor fellows, in an instant. This
happened on the American coast. Another
of gurtompany fell in with a ﬂeet of gun
boats, at the mouth of the Streights, and
fought her passage. This was a schooner,
commanded by captain M. who told me he'
expended 400 balls on the occasion, and re
ceived as manysi; but this must have been
done at a very respectsul distance, for no
blood was lost on our side A That they had
or rather undress. The Turks in short
jackets, somethinglike those of our sea
men, without sleeves, embroidercd with
spangies ofgold, wronght in a variety of
figures, on the edges and sides ; and a spe
cies of0pen trowsei-s of diﬀerent cloms, fine
linen and mnslin, descending to the calf
and tied round each leg; a sash of read or
variegnted silk interwotren with gold tinsel,
wound round the small of the body in
which are worn a sword and brace of long
pistois; squaretoed shoes; naked iegs;
head shaved and bound about with a turban,
halsa dozen coils of white muslin t'wisted
and fastened to a small red cap, which ap
pears at the top ; the beard suspended upon
the breast. The Moorish dress diﬀers
from this in the quality osthc cloth, "except
that these wear no arms; the Turks oniv
forming the military of the country. The
Arabs, in every respect, resemble the sa
vages in America, except that they are less
enterprising and have nothing of that wild
magnanimity, which invigorates the free
born sons osour forests.
'lee Ladies; of-Badzary seen in the strccts '
sslook like walking ghosts, swaddlcd in rags.
They wear square wed shoes, generally .
without quarters, or very low ones. Above '
'these, half wayxup tho leg, they are unco
sivcrc'd-z Then commence w riches ofmuslin,
like sailors trowsera, loosely twisted around
each leg, tied at the bottom, and in this .
ss-c'rotchz'cal kind of coil, ascending about two
—spano above the first joint from the ancle
i—and forming a junction now becoming .an
j-immcnse bag, it ascends "m irregular plaita,
z-till it gathers around the waist and divides
[sithe upperct'from the nether region of the bo
sidy. Over this, -suspended like curtains
from the head to the ground, roll hUgc dis.
ty folds os.-ﬂanncl or muslin blankccs—
around the .mouth,ctchiu and forehead arc
handkcrchicsa closely tied, biding the whole
face, except : necessary aperture for the .

ssDESCRlPTlO-N OF ALGlERS.
FROM THE SAME.
Aigiers is an immense pile of brick and
lime, cemented in a maze, on the declivity
of a hill, resembling a marble quarry with
escavated ceils. This figure you will mote
eaeiiv understand, when l tell you that the
gods, or rather tops of the houses are sht,
and connected with each other in such a
manner, that a man might waik from wail
to wall, without touching feet to the ground
in almost any direction in the city. The
etreets, or rather covert ways, are in gene
ral not more than 6 feet broad ; the broad
est will admit with much difficuity & loaded
came! in the centre, and a footman on each
side. They are almost uniformly covered
with projected stories of the houses, form
ing in some places archee, in others planes,
biding the sun at mid day. There is not a
yard in the whole city; every convenience
is placed within the wall ofthe houses, even
the common vanits, and reservoirs of wa
ter ; and they have have no light, but what
is received at an aperture in the centre of
the house, generally a square extending
from the top to the ground, in eVery hOUSe,
from thirty to eight or ten feet, in pr0por
tion to the dimensions of the house. On
each side of this area, from 2 to 4- stories,
are galleries and rooms for every purpose.

is said that these are the 5000 men that
crossed the river ac Alconetc, and whose
rear guard was attacked at the time of
cross'mg by the decachment of Bustamente,
who succeeded in killing Several of them.
Gen. Hill crossed the river ac Villavieja &

Some deserters from the army of the me
my have arrived here to day ;thc'y say that
the right division, under the command of
general ]nnot, i's going to encamp in the vi
cinity o! Zamora ; and they even say that
five battahons received orders to march
this morning in that direction.
General Loison has at present his head
quarters in Gallegas, but there is no appear
ance of great encampments for the present
in that neighborhood. _
The garrison at Ciudad Rodrigo was
marched prisoners to Salamanca, but as yet
we are not inlormed .of the articlcs of capi
pursuit of the enemy are at Almarez and '
toms. l cannot, however, but take notice
of one very remarkable custom, which I
consider a very laudable one, and should
think it a decent thing to be introduced a
mong the ladies of christian countries.—
This is a habit the widows have of, repair—ss
