its price, which are alike injurious to the cultivators of the soil and
to the consumers of agricultural produce.
13. That the said regulations obstruct the commercial intercourse
between Great Britain and Foreign countries,—that they enhance:the
price of provisions in this country,—increase the cost of production
of all the manufactures of the united kingdom, including corn
itself,—render the industry of this nation less capable of competing
with that of other nations,—and aggravate the distresses of the
people.

ALUIERS.—The town of Algiers presents to us the
greatest association, formed for the sake of plunder, that ever existed
upon earth. Since the year 1516, when the corsair Horaeli, Aruch,
or Aroudji Barbarossa, who was introduced to Algiers by the
Moorish King, Selim Eunete, murdered his benefactor, and seized
his throne, the sovereignty has ever belonged to a band of robbers
picked up by that corsair, who were organised by his brother and
successor, Harradan, and recruited in the Levant, so as to maintain
a complement of about twelve thousand men. But, in order' to
belong to this conspiracy, certain condition. must be fulfilled:—
such as being a Turk from the Levant, or a Christian renegado--
and, if possible, to have been prosecuted by the tribunals for
some crime. The Levanters are so odious among their country.
men, that there is no example of any Turkish woman having ever
so far degraded herself as to marry an Algerine. However, each of
these wretches, as soon as they are enlisted amongst the militia of
Algiers, causes himself to be styled Effendi (or lily Lord.) For such
men it is that the pirates proceed on their cruises, and that die Beys
ransom and extort money from the inhabitants of the shore; finally,
if perfidy and the violence of factions favour such a person, he seats
himself on the elective throne of the Dey. All those born in the states
under the dominion of theAlgerine soldiery are for ever excluded from
the rank of Janissaries,who refuse even to admit their children into it.
The Chief, whom this banditti elect from amongst themselves, and
whom they style their Dey, never raises himself to the throne ex-
cept over the corpse of his predecessor, or over his poinarded or as.
sassinated competitors. When he becomes once invested with
power, he passes his life amidst the most painful labours, the
most infernal terrors, and the most gross and filthy enjoy-
ments. The pillage of the Algerines presses as heavily on
the seas as on the land. The members of this Sovereign
militia are strangers to every description of industry, and are
associated for the sole purpose of plundering the feeble and
sharing the. booty. All those regions which are situated between
the kingdoms of Morocco and Tunis are exposed to their
spillage god lesupportable oppressions ; that is to say, a country at
least equal in extent to all Italy, with a climate still more beautiful
than that of the Peninsula—a country formerly the seatof literature,
of ans and sciences, which it was both under the Romans and the
Caliphs—is now a prey to the furious capriciousness and the insa.
tiable rapacity ofa small number 9f scoundrels whom it abhors aid
detests.
