pecting their Sovereign Prince, whose residenet
is to be at Athens. The Turks have left Negro-
pont and have gone to Candle, in which island the)
mill in future keep up a strong garrison. The French
expedition against Algiers is expected to sail
about the sth of May. Several Officers of tin'
Malta garrison are here on leave to witne-s the em-
barkation. The appearance of the preparations
promises every successful result ; the ships are
in the roadstead, and those that require further re-
pairs have workmen sent them from the Deck-yard.
Most of the store ships are at anchor in Metres
Bay, which is rether exposed, and one of them were
on the rocks a few days since and lost the whole of
her cargo of provisions. The steam-boats attached
to the fleet endeavoured to save her and her cargo,
but the sea ran so high, they could only save the
crew. From Malta we learn that the Dey 'of Algier,
is making every preparation for defence—he has
formed several additional batteries ; has established
a field train of artillery ; and not being deficient in
cash, has in pay at leat 50,000 Arabs and natives,
and other troops, who are constantly exercised."
Extract of a letter dated Cape of Good Hope,
March 4, 1830 We have had no rain at Simon's
Bay for many months, and every thing is very dry ;
a .fair average crop of corn, -oats, and barley ha,
however, been harvested. Trade at the Cape is very
dull ; little or nothing is doing. Corn maintains the
price of 101. 103. per load ; merchants are exporting
considerable quantities. Some disturbances are ru-
moured to have taken place among the Caller tribes,
but with the exception of a few head of cattle
having been stolen, :nothing else has taken, or is
likely to take place."
By the last information from Fernando Po, we
hem. that Captain Morgan and four marines were all
