PLAGUE IN ALGIERS

Extract of a Litie. r front Gibraltar, dated 18th June,
_ _

received at Lloyd's this morning.
" By'a small vessel arrived here yesterday from
Aran, we have received intelligence (which I be-
lieve can he relied on) through the medium of
two private letters dated the 4th inst., written by
Jews resident there to their relatives here, of the
plague, or some such fatal disorder, having brcken
out in Algiers. The following is a translated
Extract of the one containing the most particular

account :
Intelligence has been received from Algiers,
by which they state, that there are many sick in
1 that place. People who are all day in their
• she►ps in good health, when they retire home at
• night, after supper, make a convulsive cry, and
• remain dead. Moors, walking in their streets,
• suddenly die. Three or four Jews die every
• day : of the Moors, their number is not yet
• ascertained. They say that it is the plague, but
` nothing positive is known. I have just received
• a letter from our father, who does not mention
• any thing on the subject.'
" The circumstance of the writer's father
making no mention of the matter cannot appear
strange, as he might t►ot wish to alarm his son.—
A report is now in circulation, through the Alge-
rine Jews here, that the British Vice-Consul,
VERONEt, died at Algiers of the disorder, and
that it has prevailed Bor 10 weeks. It does not
appear that any official communication was made
from Algiers to Arau of the circtinistrince. An
express may go from one place to th►e other in 30
hours--the usual travelling ►s 4or 5 days. I un-
derstand it is in contemplation not to admit any
vessels from that quarter, and I greatly fear it
may interrupt our present free communication
with South Barbary, as from the accessibility of
one State with the other, apprehensions may be
entertained of the contaginh spreading."

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are Extraets :
" PARIS, JULY 7.-,-The Journal of Strasburg!),
of the 2d inst. says,—' A considerable assem-
blage of persons was formed yesterday in the
Place d'Armes, at the time of mounting guard,
who grossly insulted the National Guards whilst
proceeding to their posts. The Prevotal Court
has taken up the affair, and several individuals
have been at rested.'
" Yesterday two individuals who refused to
take off their hats whilst the King was intlre bal-
cony, and who replied to the repeated calls of the
public by indecent expressions, Were arrested, and
delivered into the hands of authority.

" The Russian squadron sailed from Cilais of

The Fhaance Resolutions of IVIr. TIERNEY an►i
Mr. C. GRA.T were discussed lust nirl►t in
1-louse of Con►mons. Mr. TIERNEY commenced

his speech by acknowledging, that in the resolu-
tions which he had moved a misttke was commit. 7.
ted by him that i&ered the whole complexion of
his statement. This arose from his having en-
tit ely omitted the material tact of four millions Of
Exchequer Bilk having been paid off during the,
present year. The Bight lion. Gentleman en-
tered into a long and elaborate exposition of his
resolutions, in which he admitted, that even upon,
his oWn statement (correcting the mistake re-
specting; the Exchequer Bills), there was bctwee4
himself and Ale. GRANT a differenee of only about

1,300,0001. He paid a handsome and becomin;.;
compliment to the talent evinced by Mr. GI:As-r
in his counter resolutions, and which indeed 1116

luminous and conclusive speech of that Gentle-
man most amply justified. The CHANCELLOR of
the EXCNEQUER and Mr. HosKis6oN also spoke
with great ability, and gave very satisfactory
ex-
positions of the state of the Finances of the coun-
try. 'rue resolutions of Mr. THENEY were nega-
tived, and those of Mr. GRANT agreed to without
a division.
