ALGIERS.

The Gazette de France states, that as soon as the ex-
pedition shall have arrived in sight of the African shore,
the first step taken will be to disembark the men. Eve!),
foot soldier will be provided with thirty cartridges. The
spades, shovels, pickaxes, and other tools will next be put
on shore, in order that the men may be able to entrench
themselves immediately, if that should be, necessary. The
field batteties will follow, and should the season prove
favourable, it is impossible that the army be not in pos-
session of the town and citadel within a fortnight after the
disembarkation.
A letter from Vienna, of the 13:h inst., announces the
arrival on that day of a courier from Constantinople with
important despatches. They are reported to contain the
answer of the Sultan to the Protocol of London, relative to
the affairs of Greece. It is expected that an interview
will take place between the Emperors of Austria and
Russia, at Warsaw, after the doge of the Diet.
Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, having learnt that
Colonel Bory de St. Vincent was one of those persons who
had lately visited Greece, and obtained useful information,
expressed a wish to see this learned officer, who yesterday
waited on his Royal Highness, and stayed with him two
hours, The Colonel, like M. Eynard, is one of the most
ardent, and, at the same time, one of the most disinterested
friends of the Greeks.
From the Journal de la Belgique, which brings the ac-
count of the Brus,ela trials up to the middle of Thursday,
it appears that the Com t had been occupied nearly the
whole of the time, since our last notice, in hearing the
arguments of M. Gendebien on behalf of M. Potter.
The Dauphin will leave Paris to-morrow for Fontain-
bleat], where he will pass the night, thence his Royal High-
ness will set out early in the next morning for Toulon.
The Marquis Maximilian de l'Aftbespine died on the
17th instant at the age of 84 years. He was lineally
descended from the celebrated Sully, Minister of Henry IV.
Yesterday the water of the Seine had fallen nearly one foot.
The Journal du Havre announces, after accounts from
Guadaloupe, that on the Ist of January a fire broke out
at the barracks of Fort St. Charles. The wind being very
high the whole edifice was soon destroyed, notwithstand-
ing the activity and ardour displayed by the troops in their
efforts to subdue the raging element. It is suspected that
the building was wilfully set on fire.
PARIS, APRIL 24.—Intelligence has been received in
Paris of the internal state of Algiers, up to the 44th inst.
The population are in the highest degree of fermentation,
and the Day is exposed to the greatest dangers; the Alge-
rines are willing to make every sacrifice to avoid a bom-
bardment. They talk openly of giving all the satisfaction
demanded by France. The Grandees are ready to make
every concession to the Commander-in-Chief of the army,
to promise to restore all the French property that has been
seized, and engage not to visit any vessels belonging to
nations under the protection of France. It is said that
the Dey will offer to pay an indemnity for the expenses of
the armament.
It appears certain that the measure adopted by the King
of Spain relative to the Salk Law ava.snot only concealed
from the King of Naples, hut also from the Infant Don
Carlos. The Count de Saint Priest had not heard any
thing of the project till the evening before its publication ;
and on the very day after he had despatched a courier to
announce to the French Government that tumours of
such a step was afloat, the abolition of the S Ilk Law was
proclaimed in the streets of Madrid. Nothing then was
left for the Arrhassadors of the Kings and Princes of the
House of Be sots but to deliver their protests, •which
they lost n,
": in doing.
PARIS, L rRIL 23.—The Aviv) of Toulon contains

the.followilag :—" The Dey has determined upon offering
the most resolute resistance to the French. Several batte-
ries have been stationed upon the beach to the west of
Algiers, where it is expected that the troops will disembark.
Another battery of 40 pieces of cannon in a triple row,
has been raised on the east of Algiers, upon the beach,
and opposite to the Fisherman's-gate. It was before this
point that Lord Exmouth's ship was laid with her broad-
side, in 1816 ; but at that time it was defended by only
15 guns, and those but of small calibre. Since that pe-
riod they have planted many 48-pounders on the mole, by
the town side, which defend the entrance into the harbour.
This battery is distant from that of the Fisherman's-gate
~nly 100 yards. There are in the port 80 gun-boats,
which are said to be well armed, but under unskilful com-
manders, and badly served. The Dey never quits the for-
tress, and has constructed new fortifications in addition to
th, se which already defend his retreat. From this it ap-
pears that he thinks it necessary to prepare against a popu-
lar insurrection, an occurrence by no ►aeans rare in that
country. If we may credit reports, many conspiracies
have already been formed against hislife, and some even say
that he has been beheaded. These reports have, within
these few last days, been repeated at Toulon, and our cof-
fee-house politicians assert, that the brig Adventure has
brought a positive confirmation of the news. We have
received several letters from that station, by the same ship,
but find nothing that confirms these rumours."
The preparations fur the expedition will have been com-
pleted in two months. All the coast where the army is
to land has been sounded. In thirty-two hours 32,000
men will he landed, and twelve days will be sufficient to
disembark all the materiel of the army, and all the heavy
artillery. The banners of France will he unfurled again
wheie the greatest of our Kings died. The Moorish coast
will see us again with that warlike ardour, the indelible
characteristic of our nation. A barbarian will perceive
whether he can insult the representative of our King with
impunity. Already he sees the blockade daily reinforced,
eighty King's ships and a prodigious quantity of vessels
wait for the French army in the French and Spanish ports.
If the treasures of the Dey do not fall into our hands, the
1,500 cannon which defend Algiers will be sufficient for
an indemnity of the expences of the war and blockade.
Our honour revenged,—piracy destroyed in the Me titer•
ranean,—what more honourable prospect can be held out
to French soldiers 7 Gazette de Frahce.

The following intelligence from Madrid is of the 12th
instant :—" Fresh despatches have been received from the
Count d'Espana, still more al arming than the former.
lie stat's that a conspiracy is completely organized, and
that lie has scarcely any hopes that it will be put down
even with all the efforts of the Government combined."
The following intelligence from Trieste is of the 10th
inst. :—" We learn by two vessels that arrived here yes-
terdzt• from Alexandria in 30 days, that an English
steamer reached that port on the 9th ult. from Corfu,
with despatches for the English Consul, who immediately
proceeded to Cairo. It is supposed that he had orders to
inform the Pacha of the displeasure which the British Go-
vernment feel at his co-operation in the war against
Algiers. The same day the whole of the Egyptian squa-
dron set sail for an unknown destination." _ .

The following is an extract of a private letter of the
15th inst. from Berlin :—" The prompt return of the
Emperor Nicholas to St. Petersburgh has excited
great surprise, and 1-d to numberless conjectures.—
His absence having been only nine days, although it
was announced as likely to be much longer, it is sup-
posed that some unexpected occurrence compelled him
to change his plan. Hence it is reported that the Em-
peror's presence at St. Petersburgh had become necessary
from a discovery of a very important nature, which will
lead to the recall of the Ambassador of a great Power
from the Court of Russia. It is, however, stated as a
positive fact, that since the return of the Emperor, ex-
traordinary activity has prevailed in the Cabinet and at
the office of Count Nesselrode, who daily despatches mes-
sengers to the south, and particularly to Italy. From
this circumstance it is inferred that the negociations con-
cerning the affairs of Turkey, Greece, or even the African
expedition, are not terminated ; or rather, that these
affairs have given rise to serious questions, which will lead
to further negotiations between the great Courts of
Europe. Letters from St. Petersburgh also mention a
levy of sailors as about to take place."
" By letters from Porto, we learn that a corps of from
500 to 600 individuals exists in the province of Douro,
under the name offacho da legitimidade, and is making
preparations to raise the standard in these countries when-
ever a corps of liberators shall have appeared on the wes-
tern coasts of Portugal. Notwithstanding the efforts of
the police to arrest the members of this formidable associa-
tion, their cautious mode of proceeding has kept them be-
yond the reach of pursuit."—Journal des Debats.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 20th inst., contains
the following intelligence :
" CONsrAIaTINOPLE, MARCH 26.—Whilst the inhabi-
tants of this capital are rejoicing on account of the festi-
val of the Bairam, the Divan is daily occupied in discuss•
ing the late Protocol signed in London, and the Greek
question. There is no doubt, however, that the Porte
will be compelled to acknowledge the independence of
Greece ; but such a resolution will be preceded by long
debates and fatiguing adjournments. It is rumoured that
the Reis Effendi, being asked if he was acquainted with
the result of the mission of Halil Paella, and whether he
would communicate the same to the Ambassadors of the
three mediating powers, and give a definite answer in a
fixed time, the Reis-Effendi answered, that he anxiously
expected a report of the result of Halil Pacha's mission;
when the Ottoman Porte would, very probably, come to a
decision which would be in conformity with that of the
Russian Cabinet.
" The French expedition against Algiers has created
much uneasiness in the Divan, as its success would pro-
bably be attended with the effect of greatly diminishing
the revenue of the Porte, and of depriving it of assistance
from the Algerine and Tunisian navy, in case of need ;
despatches from the Turkish agent sent to Algiers are there-
fore looked for with intense anxiety. The Turks are of
opinion, that the Dey will not make any concessions to
France, but will defend himself to the last extremity; the
Franks, on the contrary, think that England is interested
in effecting a reconciliation before hostilities shall really
have commenced.
" The exile of the former Grand Vizier, Mehemet Salim
Paella, to the Monastery of Macedonia, has created much
sensation.
" Letters from Ancona, of the 7th inst., state that the
Rimariotes and Niviziotes have risen in arms, and taken
possession of the Forty Saints,' in defiance of the Go-
vernor, who is son of Mustapha Pacha."

Parliament, after the usual Easter recess, re-
assembles to-night. The leading question of
the Session—the one which gave it its chief
interest, we mean the State of the Country—

having been partially disposed of, the remaining
sittings of either House will not, we conceive,
be of any protracted duration. Among the sub-
jects yet remaining for discussion,—which,
though not of first-rate interest like the Catholic
Question, or the National Distress, is yet of
very considerable moment to large masses
of the community—is the Stamp Duties,
the whole of which subject requires the
most rigorous consideration. The schedule
which we have seen bears sovidence of such

a grasping spirit as cannot fail to ensure
its strict and speedy revision. Among the
Orders of the Day we find enumerated the For-
geries Punishment Bill, which is to be read a
second time, and some five or six others of more
