LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1830.

bodies of his frantic votaries. Is it a worship like this
that should be made subservient to the collectio❑ of a
tribute by any civilized Government? Yet a tribute
is collected by a Christian Government from the pil-
grims who throng to mingle in the indecent orgies
around the car of the idol, or to throw themselves
beneath its wheels ! If that tribute be applied to
repair the temples or to support the Priests of such a
system, it makes the Government under whose authority
it is collected fearfully responsible, before a higher tribunal
than that of man, for the encouragement of the frauds and
the cruelties which are practised on an ignorant people by
the priests of this monstrous idolatry. We do hope, now
that the rulers of India have felt it their duty to put down
the practice of Suttee, they will feel themselves equally
bound to prohibit the sanguinary orgies of Juggernaut ;
and, instead of collecting tribute to repair his temples,
which are stained with blood, level them to the earth,
that the people may learn the impotency of the idol which
their ignorant fears invest with the attributes of infernal
power. It was by such decided and energetic conduct
that the Roman conquerors of Great Britain put down the
cruel superstition of the Druids, who propitiated their
demon-gods by burning men in wicker cages on their
altars. The Romans had never been intolerant to other
nations on account of their religious belief, except where
it violated the rights of humanity, and became, instead of
a speculative folly,' an actual nuisance, which must be
abated before a people could be in a situation to learn
even the rudinients of civilization. We speak of the
Romans, of course, before the despotic excesses of the
Emperors changed the national character, for then, along
with every other vice, they were taught that of reli-
gious persecution. The suppression of the human sacri-
fices of the Druids was, however, enforced as a mere
matter of police, for they knew that such abominations
could not co-exist with the moral improvement or civili-
zation of the people, and therefore their intolerance of so
cruel a system was in itself an act of mercy., We are glad
to find, as we mentioned yesterday, that a notice was given
at the India House, on Wednesday last, of a motion rela-
tive to this subject for next Quarter-day—and that Mr.
Poynder intends to move a resolution, in the Court of Pro-
prietors, to the following effect :—" That this Court,
taking into consideration the direct encouragement afforded
to idolatry, and also to the licentiousness and bloodshed
connected with idolatrous observances, by the collection of
tribute from the worshippers and pilgrims at the temples
of Juggernaut, Gya, Allahabad, and elsewhere, both for
the repair of those temples and the m,intenance of their
priests, and attendants, recommends to the Honourable
Court of Directors to take such measures as will have the
effect of immediately directing the attention of the Indian
Government to this subject, and of eventually removing
such a reproach from a Christian empire." It is indeed
a reproach to a Christian empire that it encourages a
species of idolatry which a Pagan nation thought it shame
to tolerate ! We hope Mr. Poynder will be successful in
his laudable object, and thereby facilitate the civilization
of our eastern dependencies, and cleanse the land over
which a British Government presides from the foul stain
of idolatrous crimes.—Morning Herald.

" OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM ALGIERS.
•" The following details relative to the operations of the
expedition against Algiers have reached Government;—
" REPORT OF ADMIRAL DUPERRE TO TIIE MINISTER OF

THE MARINE.

" On board La Provence, Bay of Torre Chica,
June 14, 1830.

" ' Monseigneur,—Providence has favoured with com-
plete success the first operations of the glorious enterprise
ordained by his Majesty. The King's flag waves on the
Fort of Sidi Ferruch and the Tower of Torre Chica. On
the 10th inst. I left the Bay of Palma with the fleet under
my command, which I had succeeded in rallying again
after its having been dispersed by bad weather in sight of
the coast of Africa on the 31st ult. I approached that
coast again on the 12th, in the morning, but strong easterly
winds and a heavy sea again obliged me to stand out to sea,
keeping the fleet together. Yesterday morning the wind
was still fresh from the east, but the sea less agitated, and
the weather fine. This first opportunity of proving
myself worthy of the confidence of his Majesty ap-
peared favourable, and I embraced it. At eight o'clock
in the morning the fleet was off the town of Algiers;
it sailed along the forts and batteries, the commander
Hof the blockading squadron, accompanied by •La Be!-.
lone, leading on the naval forces which came first,
followed by the reserve and transports, and at seven in
the evening the fleet occupied the Bay of Torre Chica.—
The enemy had evacuated the battery at the point and
the fort of the bay, but they had conveyed its cannons and
mortars to the neighbouring heights. Several cannon-balls
and bomb-shells were fired upon the first line of vessels.
A sailor was wounded on board the Breslow by a splinter.
I ordered Captain Loviers, with the steamer le Nageur, to
approach the beach ; he caused a battery of one cannon and
one mortar in the fore-ground to be evacuated by the enemy.
The day was too far gone for landing, and hence prepara-
tions were made to effect it at day-break. La Bayonnaise
sloop, l'Acteon and la Badine brigs of war, which had no
troops to land, stationed themselves in the bay to the east-
ward of Torre Chico, to take the batteries of the enemy in
the flank, and beat them off the peninsula. The steamers
le Nayeur and le Sphinx received orders to cover with
their fire the landing on the westward. At a quarter past
four this morning the first division of the army landed,
with eight pieces of field artillery, under the fire of the
enemy's batteries, which did little mischief. A seaman of
the Sarveillante had his leg carried away, and Lieut. Du-
pont received a violent contusion from a spent ball. I have
not received any other reports. The guns of the sloops
stationed to the east of Torre Chica were well worked,
and had a good effect on the enemy's batteries. Two
sailors jumped on shore, and hoisted the King's flag
on the fort and tower. At six the second division, and
the whole of the field artillery, were safely landed; at half-
past six the Commander-in .Chief disembarked, and placed
himself at the head of the troops. He immediately exe-
cuted a movement to turn the enemy's batteries, which
were carried, after repeated attacks against masses of ca-
valry. By twelve the whole army was completely landed.

It occupies the heights which are in advance of the Penin-
sula, and head-quarters are established at Torre Chica.
Ammunition, provisions, and stores have been landed,
and operations have been followed up with the utmost pos-
sible activity. The bay of Torre Chica, or Sidi Ferruch,
presents much better shelter for the fleet than I had ven-
tured to anticipate. Though it is exposed to the winds
from the east, to the west-by-north the anchorage must
be very good, and the ships may ride in safety from their
chain cables. Eager to convey to your Excellency this first
intelligence, I am unable to enter into further details, par-
ticularly as to the operations of the land•forcis, which are
not within my province. I shall collect, from the several
reports made to me, such claims to the favour of his Ma-
jesty as may be acquired, and shall have the honour of
submitting them to your Excellency. In fine, every one
has done his duty, and will feel too happy if the King
should consider that the navy has shewn itself worthy of
his confidence. Believe me, &c.

" DUPERRE,
a, Vice-Admiral, CommanderLin-Chief of the Naval Forces.

" REPORT ADDRESSED 13Y GENERAL DE BOURMONT TO

THE PRINCE DE POLIGNAC.

" i Sidi-Ferrucb, June 14.

" Prince,—The naval armament that had been de-
tained more than 18 days in the bay of Palma, waiting
for the landing flotilla, set sail on the 10th. The wind,
at first very light, became so strong, that several small
vessels sustained damage. Two cattle-boats sunk, and a
part of their crews were lost. On the 12th, at day-
break, the coast of Africa was descried, but the increasing
gale and a heavy sea rendered disembarkation impossible.
The fleet stood out from the land for a short time, while
light vessels were sent towards the peninsula of Sidi-Fer-
ruch and the two adjacent beaches. The certainty of find-
ing safe moorings, the shelter aftbrded against the preva-
lent winds by the direction and boldness of the shore, and
the nature of the coast, which, being entirely open to the
sea for an extent of 4,000 metres, afforded no ambush or
concealment for the enemy, bad for a long time drawn
our attention to that part of the coast as a favourable
point fur landing. The retrograde movement ceased on
the 12th, at nine in the evening, when we made sail to the
southward ; during the night the agitation of the sea
subsided, and on the 13th, at day-break, we were not
more than two or three leagues from Algiers. The troops
manifested the most lively
spy, and cries of ' rive le
Roi' resounded from every quarter. The fleet changed
its southwardly course, and ran parallel with the coast
towards the peninsula; the ships of war took the lead;
they were destined to attack the works which the enemy
might have constructed on the point of disembarkation.
The breeze now blowing from the east, it was decided to
land on the west of Sidi-Ferruch. At ten in the morinng
the armed ships arrived off the peninsula, and found that
the tower which stands there bad been abandoned.
The enemy had dismounted a battery of 12 pieces of can-
non, the fire of which we had expected to receive. A
camp was established at about a league from the shore.
We perceived in advance of it several batteries, and
parties of Arab horsemen. A steamer approached the
shore, and soon dispersed these horsemen. The enemy's
batteries sent a few balls and some shells towards the
mooring ground, but without effect. At eight in the
evening the three squadrons, the first division of the con.
voy, and the landing flotilla, had all come to anchor.
Orders were issued for the disembarkation to commence at
day-break. On the 14th, before five in the morning, the
first division was on land, without meeting with the least
resistance. The two other divisions disembarked in suc-
cession. General Berthezeno advanced with the first, and
tight pieces of cannon. Soon after the enemy's batteries
opened their fire, and continued to cannonade us, although
they were reached by our field artillery, and taken in the
flank by the King's ships stationed to the east of the Pe-
ninsula. General Berthezene received orders to turn the left
of the enemy's position. This movement had the desired
effect. The batteries were abandoned; 13 16-pounders and
two mortars fell into our hands. The divisions Loverdo and
d'Escars followed the movements of the first. At eleven
the combat ceased, and the enemy fled in every direction.
Our soldiers displayed as much coolness as they had pm-
viously shown enthusiastn. We have lost 20 men, but
not an officer was wounded. The aspect of the land in
advance of the peninsula perfectly coincides with the de-
scription given of it by Colonel Boutin ; it Is sandy, and
slightly undulated ; strong bushes cover nearly the whole
of the surface. The peninsula is a calcareous rock, on
which is reared a santon (a Turkish convent), to which
the Spaniards hare given the name of Torre Utica. - W'e
intend to employ it as a depot for our stores of every de-
scription. General Valaze has traqed ;tut an entrench-
ment, whiela will not have a great extent, but the con-
struction of which has already been commenced.
' I have the honour, &c.

" ' Count de BOURAIONT:'

c‘ The following- is an extract of a letter fico;;; Toulon,
dated the 18th inst.:—` yesterday afternoon, about five
o'clock, a steamer was descried at a distance, making for
Toulon, and, two hours after, s'ne was seen with all her
colours flying. It was then no longer doubtful that she
was the bearer of important despatches. The impatience
of the inhabitants became so gres,t, that the port was
crowded, and a procession, which was passing near the
quays, was left by almost every one except a few eccle-
siastics. The most enthusiastic joy was expressed when
AL Salle, lieutenant of the navy, on arriving, announced
that the whole army bad landed on the coast of Africa on
the 14th, and occupied a military position, after having

drive❑ out the enemy from it. This important news was
soon spread abroad. A proclamation, made by torch-light,
communicated it to the inhabitants. A private letter
states that the army has found an abundance of water
near the mosque of Sidi-Ferruch. The corn was still
standing; and the enemy's flight must have been vety
sudden, as he had no time to set it on fire. From the dif-
ferent reports made of our loss; it appears that it only
amounts to twenty or thirty killed, General de Bourmont
had a narrow escape. He was on a hillock between the
battery of Torre-Chica and a division of his army, whore
movements he was following, when a cannon•-ball fell at
his feet, and entirely covered him with sand. A letter
written from on board the Provence on the 14th instant,
mentions the following interesting circumstance, which
occurred at the time of the separation of the Commander-
in-Chief and Admiral Duperril :—The picked companies,
who were in this vessel as well as the Staff, were on the
point of debarking, and General De Bourmont was going
to follow them, when Admiral Duperr6, cordially shaking
hands with him, said, with an expressive voice—
' Monseigneur, lam yours for life or death. You may rely
upon me.' They then embraced each other. This inti-
mate union and mutual confidence was participated by the
land and sea forces, who testified it by repeated accla-
mations. Their ardour was at its highest pitch."
(From the Messager des-Chambres of Tuesday.)

" sas, JUNE 21.—We spolisgasterfle,y of the arrival
in Europe of the Marquis of Santo Amaro, who is sent by
the Emperor Don Pedro to terminate definitively, with the
concurrence of the great European Powers, the serious
differences which have arisen between him and his brother
Don Miguel.

" The Brazilian frigate the Imperial Prince, which
brings Don Pedro's Ambassador, arrived in the road of
Brest on the 15th of June. The Duke of Leuchtenberg,
who returns from Brazil, whither he accompanied the
Empress h's sister, is also on board this vessel, which has
been placed under quarantine for three days ; the Duke,
therefore, could not land before the 18th. It may be re-
membered, that at the time of the marriage of the present
Empress of Brazil it was reported, that permission to pass
through France was refused her on account of the relation-
ship to Napoleon, and people have asked whether the
Duke of Leuchtenberg would be allowed to pass through
France. We know that permissio❑ to do this has been
granted him, but that the request which he made to stop
there has been refused. Yet, according to our civil laws,
the ties of adoption which attached Prince Eugene to Na-
poleon were broken by the birth of Napoleon's own son,
and it should seem that the political laws which regard
the family of the ex-Emperor are not applicable to the
family of Prince Eugene.
