FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

ALCIFRC, JULY 24.—It is difficult to form an idea
of the horrors of the dreadful tacking, to which 13 or
3,oooJews were given up during three or four hours.
A general maffacre, with the exception of women and
Children, was determined on by the troops. A num-
ber of ferocious foldiers foaled iumultuoufly from
their barracks, each armed with a piftol and fabre ;
all the barbarous rabble of the town joined them ;
they were cheered by the exclamations of women, or
rather of furies, who crouded the (treets aad terraces.
rtunately it was Saturday, a Jewilh feflival, when
but very few of that perfuafion were abroad. But
f the foldiers burg open the doors of the honfes ;
the riches which flctick their view were the means of
faving the unfortunate Hebrew nation ; they slifcon-
tinued the carnage to think only of plunder ; the
trinkets with which the women were adorned were
torn from them, and they were expofed to all kinds
of outrage. The plunder then became general ; fe-
roci•tus cries were followed by a death-like filence ;the
flreets were filled with men and women palling in all
direlkns with their booty, and in the courfe of three
hours there was not the houfe of a Jew which was
riot (tripped to the bare walls. There were but two
wealthy honfes which efcaped being pillaged, thole
of Me(frs. BACK' and DANINOS, one of which was
fituated next to the houfe of a great man, and the
other was pretefled by the Regency, becanfe it owed'
them about 400,c0c0 dollars. M. Bede Pays, how-
ever, that he was a lofer of above iso,ooo fequins.
There are few cities in Europe, of equal extent,
which contain fo much wealth as Algiers.
It is generally agreed, that the plunder carried off
was intmenfe. The large films in fpecie, and the rich
articles in gold and jewellery, which were carried off
on this occafion by the Prilkri and the Khails, are
already buried in the mountains, and will never ap-
pear again.
It was at &ft laid that but few robberies were com-
mitted by the militia, hut it has been fince proved
that the booty they made was immenfe.—On the
loth the Jews had hell' caufe for alarm. A great
number of them again took fhelter under the French
flag. '['he report that the Aga had met with a check,
and the alarm (hewn by the Regency, of a general
Tiring of the Muorith inhabitants againft the few Turks
who remained at Algiers, created a general confler-
nation in the town. Many Turks were flrangled,
and others baainadoed for offences not connefted with
the outrage of the of and sd. Three Moors were
banged at the gate of Bab Azonn.
The Turk who murdered Bufnagh, after having
received his pardon, and obtained permiffiontoretire
from the country, took refuge on the Bth, under the
Englifh flag. He was fent by the Conful Tome few
days after to Gibraltar, from whence it is faid he
was to proceed to London.
It is not luppofed that the death of Bufnagh was
carted by the Englifh, to whom he had been very
(err iceable, even againti the opinion of the Dey, in
the lad settlement which they made here: but where-
ever an agent of the Government of London is to
be found, he will be always ready to receive and
prolett even the nundeier of the perfon who has
served him.

The Dey rattled k to be proclaimed a few days
up, that any woman who fhould appear in public
with a g,ll,len fatma, ear-rings, or any other jewels,
!limit] be diro%n into the fea, and her hnfband
handed.

There is always great uneafinefs in this country.
The Givernment is equally terrified by the kridiery
and the inhabitants ; they wait with the greaten im-
patience fir intelligence from the Province of Mac
cilia. Tile Aga, whole camp bad been reinforced
by A efinfider..ble number of•Kouloglons, and lour
nr 6.e kindled Tuiks arrived from the Levant, ob-
tained (-me lifccers, and has formed a junction with
the Caliph, within a day and a half's march of Oran.

The new Bey, inn to the former Governor, wha

by the land fide. and notified immediate 4 on his ar-
siva', that he would only esaa the fame duties as
were received by his father.. The rebels replied, that
they had long b •en governed.by &angers, and that
they would nut lay down 'their arms until-they were
fried from a yoke which had become intolerable.-
The Englith have long conceived the defign of

ready t'. draw advantage from the misfortunes of
others, tithed vi embrace this opportunity to effea
what it meditated. Six armed (hips appeared before
Oran, the commander of which offered the Bey Soo
artillery, and as many borfes, affuring him, that he
had no friend more sincere than his King..• The Go-
vern-•r Of OtAN refilled the generous offer.
We, are jolt informed that the Bey of Conflantino-
ple, at the head of 7000 foot and 6000 cavalry, at-
tacked, at different points, the mountains in which
