THE EXPEDITION TO AFRICA.

The London Express quotes, respecting Algiers,
a curious document, which is not generally known.
It is certain that Napoleon long cherished the- idea
of seizing the Regency. The secret history of the.
Cabinet of the empire cites a secret paper on the
Treaty of Tilsit. We give a copy of this very
singular document, the authenticity of which is un-
questionable, and which unveils the policy of Na-
poleon:—

" SECRET TREATY OF TILSIT.

" Art. 1. Russia shall take possession of Turkey
in Europe, and shall push her conquests into Asia,
as far as she may think fit.
" 2. The dynasty of the Bourbons In Spain,
that of the Braganza Family in Portugal, shall cease
to exist : a Prince of the family of the' Emperor
Napoleon shall be invested with the crown of these
kingdoms.
" 3. The temporal authority of the Pope shall
cease, and Rome and its dependencies shall be united
to the Kingdom of Italy.
" 4. Russia undertakes to lend France' the aid of
her marine to conquer Gibraltar.
"5. The cities of Africa, viz.—Tunis, Algiers,&c.
shall be French possessions, and after a general
peace all the conquests which the French have made
in Africa during the war, shall he given as indemni-
ties to the Kings of Sardinia and Sicily.
,4 0. Malta shall be occupied by the French, and
never be at_ peace with England until she hal ceded
this isle to France.
• ". 7. Egypt shall be occupied by the French.
France,ussiu, Spain, and Italy, shall have the

resign her fleet to France.
" 10. Their Majesties of France and Russia 611:1E

It is said that Don Miguel slapped the face of the
Secretary of the Spanish Embassy, and that the
Ambassador (Acosta) having remonstrated with
him concerning the conduct of the Dey of Algiers,
thegracious Sovereign drove him froth his presence.
This statement appears incredible at this juncture,
when Don Miguel has just received 6,000,000 of
reals from Spain; the fruit of a collection made in
the ecclesiastical chapters, to enable him to pay his
troops, and to avoid an impending mutiny.

We have received the estafette of Algiers, which
gives the following interesting account of the inter-
view which took place between General Bourmont,
and the Dey of Algiers. M. Bourmont was the
first person that entered the palace of the Dey, and
was •received by his Highness with great com-

posure
I am come to ask you for an apartment, said
the Commander-inrChief; to which the Dey re-
plied,' General, my palace, as well as the city, are
yours, since you have been the victor; you' may dis-
pose of them as you please; but I request of you a
couple of hours to remove. the furniture, which is
my property.' 4 Take all the time you please, end
all the effects you may require." Two hours will
suffice,' answered the Dey. Accordingly, in that
short time the whole: of the Dey's furniture was
conveyed to a private house, and M. Bourmonr,
with the whole of his staff, was settled in the palace.
Shall Ibe safe ;U. the town ?' asked the Dey.
-Yet; but you would do better to retire to France
or England. The Dey paced the apartment, and
made no reply : after a moment's silence, Hussein
uttered a few words—' I governed without fear, and
I abdicate in the same'. manner.' He then,, after
taking off his royal garments,.retired into a private
dwelling, and he is, now to be seen walking about
the town, and mingling with the crowd."
Fnoat Tomori.—The French camp is filled with
Arabs, offering their provisions for sale; the en-
gineers are busy in repairing the fortifications of the
caitle.of the Emperor, and the damage done to the
batteries on the sea coast will also soon be repaired;
18,000 cannon-balls were fired on the 3d from the
fleet and batteriec"

(From the Massager des Chambres of Saturday, July 17.)
PARIS, Jutx.ll3.—The delivery of a note by the
Ambassador of England, relative to the occupation
of Algiers, and the supposed intentions of the
French Government.,with respect to that part of
Barbary, is a piece of news wholly destitute of
truth. We can only .confirm in all points what is
said on this subject by Galignani's Messenger...-.
Universel.

Instead of invectives against the electors, and
ebullitions of anger against the deputies reelected
in spite of it, the Ministry should order its writers
and confidants to make France easy' respecting fo-
reign policy. Some words respecting our projects
in- Africa—some positive explanations respecting our
relations With Vltigland.-....-;svould be of more use than
the disputing about .cpiestions already so delicate,
Tlie occupation of Algiers is a; prodigious end
new turn given—to-:.foreign policy. The result of
this great Soil gloripos,affair will be either to restore
our'rredit in the eyes off-the world, to regain a iegi,
timate influence, or to sink lower than ever. Glory.
or shame, strength or decay.-sill depend on it.
Instead of that loyal confidence which a great
people ought to feel, the public is obliged to have
recourse to uncertain information to learn what its
patriotism is so interested in knowing. The follow-
ing is the outline of what we have learned from
various quarters of the state of the question.
