peared, and the merchants were much alarmed. The
Euryale brig left Algiers on the 11th, with orders to watch
the coast, and returned on the 15th with a Maroquese
barque, with four natives on board, who could give no rea-
son for their being at a distance from the coast. Rear-
Admiral Bourgainville has given the necessary orders for
the protection of merchantmen.
It is said that a strong column of troops was to leave the
environs of Algiers on the 17th, and proceed to Bledah,
where there are obstinate combats almost daily. An at-
attempt will then be made to make an incursion among the
hostile tribes encamped beyond the Chiffa. The column
will afterwards march to Cherchell, of which it will take
possession ; that place will be attacked at once by sea and
land.

Abd-cl-Kader, we hear, is in the desert with his best

Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates
have reached us this morning. On Saturday evening,
M. de FALCK, the Dutch Minister at the Court of
Brussels was seized with a fit of apoplexy, which for
a time greatly alarmed his friends. M. de FALCK had
had a fall a few evenings before while at a party at the
Duke of OREMBERG'S, when he received a violent blow
on the head, and having afterwards paid no attention to
it, the consequence was a fit of apoplexy. On Monday,
however, M. de FALCK had so far recovered as to be
able to sign his despatches as usual. No fears were
entertained as to his speedy recovery.
A letter from Cologne of the 22d says that the Em-
peror of Russia has given to Mr. Cockerell, who is now
at Warsaw, an estate belonging to the Crown, situated
in the vicinity, on which there is a considerable manu-
factory. The buildings, which are already very consi-
derable, will be enlarged. The funds are already pro-
vided to meet the expense. Mr. Cockerell has chosen
Mr. Robert Lantz, of Cologne, to direct the establish-
ment, and has given him 600 workmen.
The QUEEN arrived at Vienna on a visit to the Im-
perial Family on the 13th inst. The King and Queen
of NAPLES will visit Vienna in the course of the en-
suing summer.
