FROM THE: FRENrH.FAFERs.

We find. at Algiers' that the Military, ..Who
hold the sovereign power, create and ,depose, ar
pleasure, those Magistrates whom they call Drys.
At Algiers; as throughout the Ottoman Empire,
the Soldiers compose a species of Aristocracy, who
delih,.tritte little and do .much, and• who reduce the
Chief Magistrates of the States to. such a situation,
that they can neither existh Soldiers nor with-
out them.

STUTGA.RD, JAN. 9.—Wd read in the Gazette
printed here (Allgenzeime Zeitung) the following
description of a Public Audience of the First Consul
of France, addressed to the Editor by an Eye-
witness :

" We were condufted into asaloon, where were
assembled' the Ambassadors, and those -Foreigners
who were .to be conduded to the audience. We
were all in the'first instance presented to the Coun-
cillor of State, BENEZECH ; the Minister TALLEY-
RAND also made his appearance, while the State
Hussars guarded the doors and overlooked the. apart-
ments. In a short time the domestics of BONA-
PARTE came to serve us with chocolate, liqueurs,
&c. In about half an hour, we were concluded by
BENEZECH through a long line of guards into the
Hall of Audience. During this procession warlike
music was heard, which seemed' to transport us all
to Marengo. in the. saloon preceding that of the
Consul, the Officers of the Etat-Major formed a
double line. The Consuls , were placed near the
chimney, with 'four-Officers of the Guards in full
uniform, behind them « the Ministers were on the
right, and the Councillors of. State on the- left ;
whilst many Members of the Legislative Bodies,,
and a great number of General Officers, formed a
semi-circle. The entrance completed the circle.
The Foreigners ranged themselves by the side of
the respeaive Diplomatic Agents, who took their
stations without any apparent design. The Emoy
from the Pop E placed himself on the right of the
Consuls : by the side of him was the Imperial Am-
bassador ; then followed the Ambassaders of Prus-
sia, Denmark, &c. BONAPARTE alone-did the lx-
nours of the audience : he made his round with ir-
expressible ease—he spoke to all without the least
afredation, and found means to say something agree-
able to each.

" As we were near eighty in number, he was
near an hour making the round.-.. Having at length,
however, returned to his place, we made our bows
and were re-concluded by TALEYRAND and BENE-
ZECH, amidst the music of martial instruments,
into the first saloon, from whence we departed filled
with satisfaction and admiration at what we had
seen and heard."
