To Nis, SEP r. 27.—Serious diitur bailees' broke out
in this city. oh Oe'3oth of August. The most im-
port:int occurrences are contained in the following
statement -

" The Tutkish soldiery; tong rendered uneasy
by seeing the Regency exclusively in the hands of
a native Moorish faintly, entered into a conspiracy
to exterminate this family, and to place at the head
of the Government a Bey of their own nation, as
had been done at Algiers. They had 'already ap-
pointed a day for the execution of their projett t it.
was on a Friday, as on that day: the` Bey is acetistOm-
ed to visit ,Tunis. The conspirators' wen to mas-
sacre him and all his attendants the moment he en-
tered the Masque to attend, prayers. They then
intended to proceed in . considerable ; forci-to the
Mild°, the quarter 'where the Sovereign' eta his
Court reside, and here they would have slaughtered
the 'whole of his faMily, the chief 'persons 0. thi
State, and, every-1(0,M subjea whom they might
4nd. The Bev was informed of the conspiracy,

anti Would hot believe it ; neVerthelest, whether he
strtrered himself to be persuaded not to go to Tunis,
or was indebted for his safety to accident, he did
nut quit the Bardo on the day, appointed for the
inass,ere. , , e i
trholurksltten suspected. that their intentions, • -
might have been discovered, or they apprehended
that the secret could not be kept for eight days, if
they deferred the business till the following Friday,
and they accordingly commenced their operations
in the night of the 30th of August, at nine o'clock.
They fell upon the shops like madmen ; these were
for the most part pillaged or burnt, the people
having taken' arms on all sides to repress the digs
torbence. The Turks, carrying with that their
booty, retired to the number of 2200 to the Gas-..
pare, the principal fort of the city. This fort was
unfortunately garrisoned by Turkish troops, ivho
immediately opened the gates to the insurgents, who
having arranged every thing in. order to defend it,
set about the nomination of a Bey, and the instito-
lion 'of a Government. They filed several guns,
the signal agreed upon, by which the garrisons Of
-'the forts Goletta, Kel, Basseste, Suze, Ike. were
to know when to hoist the standard of revolt. But
the Kiaya of Porto retina (Minister of the Marine)
had, with great diligence, the moment lie heard of-
thp risieg of the Turks, colleded the Arabs and.
the Zuaves, 'the troops of the country.
" With these troops he marched instantly to the'
Goletta, being persuaded that the garrison of that•
fort was in the plot; at the same iliac the Prime
Ministerof the Bey'arrived at Tunis with all the
troops G criefd muster. The rebels had hoisted,
,as a.signal of insurrection, the Green Flag, which
is that of the Grind Seignior. '
'" All the forts of the city were ,ordered,to fire
-on the Gaspara, where the insurgents hadentrench-
ed themselves. A mutual cannonading lasted from
-six o'clock in the morning till night. 'As night
.approached the tire from the 'Gaspara slAckett-
ed, considerably. In the morning an English
Mai Me officer and a .Frencli prisoner . who bad re-
cently arrived from ,Malta, beieg employed by the.
Bey to dire& the fire of his troops, threw.a score of
beinbs intta-the fort ; the besieged were seizeA with
such a panic that they determined, if it were pos-
sible, to save themselves by flight ; about, 1700 put
this projed in execution. The troops surrounding
the Gaspara were ordered by the Bey. to let the fu-
gitives pess, as he. hod PieVIOUSIY direEted the Arab
troops of , the neighbouring provinces to be under
arms AM to pursue such 'as Might 'escape. -
Indeed, it WoUld•has;e been imprudent to send
' all the troops out of the city, "SS' the number of the
insurgentS*as not 'ascertained.. 'The fugitives took
the road of Tabana.
.." Ott the Ist of September, at eight o'clock. in
' 'the morning, 'five hundred insurgents whohad re-
' rnained in the Gaspara lad down their arms and
'surrender-err; ' about thirty 01- the principal ."were
conducted before the Bey, who having reprobated
their. crime,
.had them thrown into dungeons. , Se-
veral of theta haVe been already beheaded.. As'soOn
as tranquility was re-established in Tunis-, the
iiey again sent orders to the ,Arabs to attack the
party which had fled, and take As many as they.
couldsalive.s The Turks, halt dead wish hunger
and fatigue, had taken the road to. Tabana. Those
among them who were,unable to , keep up with the
body were killed by their own people, who were
apprehensive, that if taken by; the .Arabs, they
would
,diSclose the intentioo .of the insurgents to
make themselves' masters of,the fort of Tabana,
and to invite thither the Algesines; with' whom the
people of Tunis are at war. But theie murders
•were the. very Cause of the disco Very of the project,
for the Arabs,, having found more than fifty of the
unhappy victims slaughtered along the road, guessed
that the l'Orkish•force could have no other mien-
, tires from the direction in which they were pro-.
eeeding, than to obtain possession of Tabana, iand
they accordingly hastened to come up with and at-
, tack them."'',.

perceiving themselves overtaken by the Arabs, did
not dare to continue in . the level country, Where

vided themselves' into two bodies ; one of these
surrounded the mountain,' the other, having dis-
mounted,..." adyanced •to storm . it. Although, re-
duced to the -number of 000, the rebels defended

of the ,vi6tory was immediately sent to tle Bey,

Arabs, who wese.eoraged against the Turks, exe-
cuted this order most willingly ; and on the 4th of
Septent`Jer they massacred all the pri4oners, except
thirty-two, who were conducted to the Bardo.' The

LONDON,

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1811.

Last night an Anholt Mail arrived, but it brings
no news of importance, unless the, report of the
probable resignation of the King of Sweden, (we
mean CHARLES the Minh) deserves that character.
In point of Mel, however, BERNADOTTE has,, ever
since his arrival in Sw,!,:leo, exercised the Regal Au-
thority, and therefore his assumption of the title of
King will be a. mere matter of form, It is pia that, in
several instances lately, he has manifested a dispo-
sition to Maintain a little of the commeicial inderien:
denee of Sweden, and to,resist the encroachments of
France. These accounts are not improttable; some sa-
crifices must be made to make the SWedes submit to
the Government.of a foreigner, and to the numer-
ous privations under which they now labour ; but
in substance and in. fa& BariNikDOTTE, is, and will
continue to be, the agent and, instrurneut ot; 800-
NAPA RTE.

We have ottia6led an article from Amsterdam
.as a curious specimen of the most einutv forgery.
-Toe article in question purports Lobe a discbarg.e,
from the Brit iih Government,- to a foreign soldier,
who had been in our service; and itt,objeft' is to
deter foreigners . from entering into the British
service. The man employed to lab:ieate this docu-
ment was so ludicrously ignorant Of 'every thing
