Sta,—On the 4th instant, the day after the attack
made by the fleet under my command on the forts and
batteries of Algiers, the chief object of which was to call
hack to the town the enemy's cannoniers and troops whom
I had seen going in great numbers to the fort of the Em-
peror, the batteries opened their fire upon the fort at,
three o'clock in the morning. At ten o'clock, after a,
dreadful explosion, which war heard to the distance of 60
miles, all around, we perceived the fort partly destroyed,
and our troops took possession of it. Half an hour after-!
wards, I was preparing to make another attack on the sea.
batteries, when, delayed by the unfavourable winds,
found myself obliged to suspend the execution of my plan,l
by the arrival of a boat, with a flag of truce, which had
en board the Admiral of the Algerine fleet, who came to
entreat me, in the name of the Dey, to suspend hostili-
ties, and to ask for peace ; at the same moment we per-
ceived another flag of truce going towards the fort of the
Emperor. Our batteries and those of the enemy had
ceased fir►ng. I desired the envoy to tell his master that
the proceedings of the fleet under my command would be
subordinate to those of the army, respecting which I re-
ferred him to the General-in-Chief. The evening and
the night passed without hostilities. Yesterday morning,
st five o'clock, the envoy returned to repeat his solicita-
tione. I answered by the annexed note, which I desired
him to deliver to the Dey, giving him at the same time a
copy for the Commander in-Chief of the land forces. At
noon, the Algerine colours were no longer displayed on the
Casaube, and some neighbouring forte. We perceived
our troops in motion towards the city at 40 minutes past
two. His Majesty's flag was flying on the Palace of the
Dry, and successively hoisted on all the forts and batte-
rice. The squadron immediately saluted with 21. guns,
amidst reiterated cries of "Nive le Roi

NOTE TO THE Dry or ALGIERS FROM THE ADMIRAL.
ON BOARD THE PROVENCE, JULY 5.
. .

The undersigned Admiral, Commander-in Chief of the
Fleet of his Most Christian Majesty, in answer to the
communications which have been made to him in the name
of the i)ey of Algiers, and which have too long suspended
the progress of hostilities, declares that so long as the flag
of the Regency is flying on the forts and city of Algiers,
he can receive no farther communications, and considers ii
as in a state of war. (Signed) DUPERRE.

LA CASAURA, JULY 5, THREE O'CLOCK,
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNC

OF MINISIMRS.

PRINCE !—The opening of the fire before the fort of the
Emperor was deferred till the 4th of July, in order that
all the batteries might fire at once. I thought that striking
awe into the enemy on the very first day, by a great su-
periority in our fire, I should abridge the duration of the
operations.

The trenches were opened in the night of the 29th,
after which the works were not interrupted a moment.
During the night, and even in the hours when the work-
men are generally relieved, the enemy's artillery fired hu!
little. During the day the Turkish and Aral► sharpshooters,
protected by the bushes, stole into the ravines, which were
to the left of the attack. They wounded a pretty consider-
able number of men ; but the troops were soon covered by
epaulements.

We bad reason to expect vigorous rallies. The occupa.
tion of the fort of the Emperor allowed the enemy to as,
semble without danger before the Casauba. They die
not profit by this advantage. However, every thing wa,
ready to give them a good reception.

The batteries had been erected with astonishing rapidity.
Among the 26 pieces of artillery mounted in them, there
were ten 24-pounders, six lapounders, four 10-inch
mortars, and six 8-inch howitzers.
All was ready before day-break on the 4th. At four
o'clock in the morning, a rocket gave the signal, and the
tiring commenced. That of the enemy replied for three
hours with much briskness. Tho Turkish gunners, though
the wideness of the embrasures left them almost wholly
expose's!, remained bra%ely at their posts, but could not
long contend against the skill and intrepidity of ours,
whom General La Hate animated by his example and his
counsel. At eight o'clock the firing of the fort was si
kneed ; that of our batteries continued toluin the works.
The order to snake a breach had been given, and was be-
` ginning to be executed, when at ten o'clock a dreadful ex.
plosion caused a part of the fort to disappear. Torrents
of flame, clouds of dust and smoke, rose to a prodigious
' height. Stones were thrown in all directions, but did
not cause any serious accidents. General Hurel, win.
commanded the trenches, did not lose a moment to pas,
over the space between our troops and the fort, and to
placethem there in the midst of the ruin*. It seems cer-
tain that at nine o'clock the troops who defended it, being
discouraged, returned to the city, crying that they were
sacrificed to no purpose, and that then the Dey ordered
the powder magaziae in the fort to be Wawa up.
At two o'clock a flag of truce wts brought to me on
this ruins of the fort of the Emperor. It was the Secre-
tary of the Dey. He offered to indemnify France for the
expenses of the war. I replied that, first of all, the C -
10subit, the forts, and the port, must be delivered up to
I the French troops. After appearing to doubt whether
'this condition would be accepted, he allowed that the ob-
!stinacy of the Dey had been very fatal. When the Alge•
rinse, they say, are at war with the, King of France,
I they must not repeat the evening prayer till they obtained
peace. . Ha returned to Algiers. soon afterwards two
of the richest Moors of Algiers were sent by the Dey.
They did not dissemble that extreme terror prevailed
among the soldiers' and the inhabitant', and that all were
desirous that negotiation. should commence. immediately.
They desired that I would cause the firing to cease,
promising that the fire of the pine .should then be like-
wiSe suspended. 'nig suspension of hostilities, in fact,
took place. General Value took advantage of it to open
counnonicatione beyond the fun of the Emperor. At three
o'clock the Dey's Secretary returned, accompanied by the
'Consul and Vice-Comad of England, He revolted the
[conditions of the peace might be reduced to writing—
