ERNIAN PAPERS.

The following :litter from Algiers, dated Ang.
SL, which we have just received by way of France,
from att eye•witness of the ,transactions there,
enables us to give our Readers a connected account
of those important. events
" ALGIRHS, AUG. 31.-04 the 27t1,i in the
;horning .earle, we had here the first news of the
appr-ech of the English fleet, tvhich was seen
from the towers of the city, to die West in the
,-Jlist The Dey immediately issued orders for
leery ewe to tepair to his post. The Turks and
;M't!ots Itastetteo in greet numbets on board the
ships and into the hatterie's on the shore. To-
wards one O'clock the squaelrem came into the road
wi:h a slight %din!. It consisted of 32 sail.
'A frigate, with a f-lag of truce, wos detached
frOnr the seeadeon, which ~ent ahhorc,onc,of itg
hOets w"ith the sai)le'ti,i-e;., , mitt was stopped
Icrore the harbour, and the officer .was Rot per.
witted to go on shore; he was the hearer of a
lila I;;ntlish itel Turkish languages,
which he:defiected to the , Captain of the port.
This dispatch stated, that the Colirt of London
hadjindeed, tat the 1511, of May; lronseuted,
ehrotigh the medinm of Lord Exmouth,l,O.wait for
six months for the resolution Which the Govern-
ment of Algiers should take respecting the aboli-
tion of slavery , that the Dey had, howeser, at the
vc.ry time Of tins negotiation, given the English
Admiral the al#lttattet, that, tiering the above-
mentiosted period, all Englishmen, and all Eng-
lish property in the whole Algerine territory,
shonlel be respected, and that ell English -proPerty
already sequestrated' hould be Conscientiossily re-
.. stored Not withstanding ChiS,,the Court of Lon-
don had learnt that the. English, and individuals
mulct- Etiglkh, protection, bat been mas Sacred at
their property plundered ;_that, two
En;!lieh vess-els testi:beets detained, and also plun-
dysed, for which not the smallest satisfaction had
hitherto heen given.
" For these reasenti the Conrt of London had
resolved not to Watt for the IlipiratiOG of the min
of six months fur the abolition of the slavery of
tie Europeans at Algiers, but, on the contrary, to
inikt that this abolition should be immediately
consented to and ratified by the,Government of
Algiers, and that, -as it proof of the recognition
of-this principle, 'ell the European slaves in their
power should be immediately delivered on board
uf.the Engkli slops.;; and, as a reparation for the
ininry done to English subjects at Bona and Oran,
the suns of 370,000 piastres, which had been paid
by the Court al Naples as ransom, should bete-
tai ored.
" The Dey sent hack Lord Exmouth's letter with
contempt, nod gave the Officer to understate! that
Ise.. would not give any answer to &etch proposals.
." The English Admiral now gave the-squadron
Mir signakfor battle. The guts-boats first east
(many near the batteries ; the Algcrines might
esseily have mete them keep off (tkompurer), all
the Officers iii the Algerine fleet ad. ised this,
wid loudly ilcinalowi that the batteries sinteld
fire ; but the
.iNlitli“tr of the Alarine would
not,,, without having the orders of the !ivy, wbo
sent word that he wOtild. immediately come in
persnir twthe shore."' 'Mean time the, tau three-
dnekers, two 74's, • and one of 60, got time
to-take up their positions,, about half-past r, two
o'clock, at 60 fathoms itrom the shore,,ne.about,
LAI' cannon 'shot,- Now the forts began to fire,
hut tot, lete ; 'the drips,,- which were GOW firmly
micltOred,,• made •such -a-6E4: firing, that 41114
tipper batteries of the forte on the coast were ins-
, mcffiately dismounted, The lower ones tread out
tsours, and did the English mach injury. , A
Captain of artillery and a Lieutenant of the Navy
now asked the Admiral's permission to get inttea
boat, and set fire to the-firatAlt.,,,erine frigate which
lay at the entrance of the harbour, by means of
a brietistoneshirt. !ibis- attempt, which fully sue-
ceeded, made the Algutines quite beside them-
selees, they itnew,not whether they should save
their fleet, or keep tilt the fire of the hatteries.--
A,pretty brisk west wind soon set .the whole fleet
in flumes ; five frigates, four corvettes, aka thirty
gon-boats were destroyed by the fire, which af-
forded for lour bones a' most awful and magnifi
cent spectaele. Toieards midnight two frigates,
tall in flames; were driven by the wind out of the
Inirboor towards the English squadron, wide!' Was

continued, without intermission, for above eight
botirs, the bombs which felt into the 'city, the
CongrelYe's rockets, and the fire-ships sent against
the mole, at length tamed 'the courage of the Al:
gcrines. They threiv themselves into the bat-
teries ; the Dey was every where at most danger-
ous places,--inconenging his 'people, anti distri-
heted.money very liberally., The Marine Mini-
ster was sesetely wounded.
" The Algerine Admiral, 6 Captains, and or 900
men, were killed its the batteries, on the shore
300 More heel the same fate, in tlee city, and the
other forte.
On the 29th the English up:nit-on cast anchor.
in 'the great road, and without cannon shot. Al-
giers was in consternation, and the Swedish ,Cou-'
ayl was. retplettted to tOrne to the Dey.
"Illicit he errived_at Use hotel of the Minister of
the Marine, he found the Dey end all the Nienibers
of the Government estet»bled there, who iotheinee
Itilr;of their resolution to submit to, all he demands
of the English. ,Meantime, a boat, with a flag of
truce came from, the EnglislAdmiral, ,bringing
lettet• to the Dey, in..which Lord Exmouth said,
that though the tortoise of. war,. and the 'silvan-,
rages of his position,enabletl him to prescribe to

" If the Algetito.s lost LOQ, men} the English,
by Lord Exmontles account, lost ts 3 u. The
GO gun ship wes tech damaged, and rendered
nearly unserviceable. The [tear Admiral's ship,
three-decker, and one 74, also suffered. much.
The fire of 'the English for ten hours was so vio,
lent, that the powder was nearly exhausted on
board of the large ships, and they were obliged
in get a supply of ammonitinn front the cor-
vettes. In the !second line were the English and
Dutch frigates ; -two of. them. were much da-
maged, and lost many men. Both sides fought
desperately. What decided the affair was, that
the Mg:critics did not imagine that the kinglish
nutild put themselves within half eannoh, shot,
and still less that the Admiral's ship would, place
itself before the entrance of the port, so that it
almost tourbed the houses, and took all the forts
on the shoe St, in the rear, that it cool([ sweep
away whole ranks of the Algerincartillerists,Who
were no longer entered by the breas..woyk. To
this was added the daring rcsolotinn of fastening
a brimstone hhirt to the first, A IgQrine frigate,
which instantly took file., and caused the greatest
devastation at the harbour.
" The city was not set no the in any place,
either by the bombs or the Gingreve lockets, us
all the houses are of atone or brick, without rook,.
but with terraces, and therchite cannot easily
catch fire, But the bombs and 36-pound balls
did, however, immense damage, by penetrating
into many houses, and throwing.down many walls,
" the country all remained quiet, in UitXtUUS
expectation of the result ; all the, women and
children from the city were dispersed in the mono-
r sins. A tumult in an Manion Cantp, sic leagues
tram Algiers, where the soldiers 11,0 dissatisfied
that they received no coders to break up,, was.
quickly quelled.
" The houses of the Consuls of Fronee, Sweden,
Denmark, and the United States, were very much
damaged.
" The general anger and indignation is directed
against the Minister of the Marine, who is blamed
for not having fired uptin the. English gun-boa-ts,
and ships of the line, as,soon as they were wirliin
cannon shut, but letting them cast anchor with-
out disturbance.
