of Estissac, son of the Dnke of Liancourt, who was
Member of Bonaparte's Chamber. The Royalisti,
seeing that M. Tronchon, a Member of Bonaparte's
Chamber, and another man of the same kidney,
would have the majority, left the assembly, which,
very fortuaately.'was no longer sufficiently numerous
to wake a legal election. In this Department, in
spite 'of influence, a few votes would have changed
every thing, so nicely were the parties balanced.
G! In the Rhone (Lyons) the three Deputies are
Royalists.

vote with Ministry; one of them will of course, he
was Minister of Bonaparte during the 100 days.
66 To-give you some little idea of .the horror the
Party have for any thing like religion, in the Elec-
toral College of Paris M. Carnet dela Bonnardiere

• .FRENCH MANCE. •
.1; We have been favoured arith a topyof the Plan of
V. Lafitte, a banker at Paris, a Member of the COM.
COlittee on the Budget, and recently returned to the
,new Chamber ot Deputies, for providing. for the
dr ficst in the French Finances which will arise in the
c arse of next lyeer. According-to .the estimate, it
that the receipts of fell will be 700,000,000
*sacs, the ordinary expense, 590,000,000. the extra.
ordinary expenses, including the war contributions,-
She pay ot the Allied troops, Ste. 310,000,000,
leaving .a deficit. of 400,000,000. This M. Lafitte
proposes to supply by resorting to loans, after re-
establishing public credit, by adopting a new mode
of liquidating the arrears due to former creditors,
,ender which they.ehould not be subjected to any loss,
!alseby the annual sale of the forests to the amount
of 30000,000, until the year 1820, and by on megf.l
rneotation of the Sinking Fund. These be proposes
as the principal..bases of his plan, and proceeds to
observe, es The lateral osyment of the arrears due
to former creditors,. is a pledge of the return to prin-
ciples of good faith, which are the foundation of
every system of credit, and the guarantee of a deter-
mination to maintain all the obligations proposed to
be contracted. The annual sale of a portion of the
forests will have a salutary effct on public opinion,
and contribute to re-establish confidence. The pro-
duce of these sales will be applicable to the forming
of a fund capable of meeting the charges arising from
the. loans. Of the 30,000,000 thus received every
year, 20,000,000 will be applicable to the payment
of.interest, and 10,000,000 to the redemption of
capital. Ten millions carried every year to "the
Sinking Fund intli 11120, will then produce the sum
of 60,000,000, without any necessity for augmenting
the taxes. The salt of the forests may then cease, a
,aew resource being then provided by theitxcess of the
recoirs above the expenditure, as, the extraordinary
expenses will then have ceased."
He then observes, that as a good stem of grimier
ought to combine both the power* and the wilt of
paying, the former he considers to be sufficiently' in-
(Mated by the Esau of tilts receipts *bole alitordi-i

VIENNA,,SETIVIABER fa.
The following letter from' Algiers, dated August
91, which we have just received by way of France,
from an eye-witness of the transactions there, enables
us to give our readers a connected account of..thoso
important events : .
“ Manses, ittroeir 31.
On the 27th, in the morningearly. we hid Wei
the first news of the approach of the English fleet,
which was seen ftorn the towers of the city, to Abe '
west, in the distance. The Dey immediately issued
orders for every one to repair to his post. The Turks
and Moors hastened, in.gseat numbers, on board the
ships and into the batteries on the shore. Towards
one o'clock the squadron came into the road with a
slight wind. It consisted of 9 sail. - t •
" A frigate with a fiagof truce was detached from.'
the squadron, which sent ashore one of itsboats with:
the same flag. This boat was stopped before the.
harbour, and the officer was not permitted to. go on'
shore; he was the bearer of a letter in the English`
and Turkish languages, which he delivered to the.
Captain of the Port. This dispatch stated that the
Court of London. had indeed, on the 15th of. May.
consented, through the medium of Lord Entomb,
to wait for six months for the resolutidn iehich the
Government of Algiers should take respecting the
abolition of slavery ; that the Dey bad, however, at
the very time of this negotiation, given the English
Admiral the assurance that during the above men•
tioned period all Englishmen and all English pro-
perty in the whole Algerine territory should be re-
spected, and that all English property already se-
questrated should be conscientiously restored. Not-
withstanding this, the Court of London had learnt
that the English, and individuals under English pro-
iection, had been massacred at Bona, and their pro-
perty plundered ; that two English vessels had been
detained, and also plundered, for which not the
smallest satisfaction had hitherto been given.
" For these reasons the Court Of London had re-
solved not to wait for the expiradon of .the term of
six months for the abolition of the slavers of Euro-
peans at Algiers, but, on the contrary, to insist that
this abolition should be immediately consented to and
ratified by the Government' of Algiers; and.that as
a proof of the recogniticia of this principle, 41 the
European slaves in their power should be immediately
delivered on board of the English ships, and. as' a
reparation for the injury done to English subjects at
Bona and Oran, the sum'of 570,000 piastres, which
had been paid by the Court of Naples as ransom,
should be restored.

4 The Dey sent back Lord Exmouth's letter with.
contempt, and gave the Officer to understand that he
would no. give any answer to such proposals.
Se The English Admiral now gave the squadron
die signal for battle. The gun boati first cast anchor
pretty near the batteries. 'The Aigerines might easily
have made them keep off (derentftarti). All the oth•
cers of the .Algerine fleet advised this, and loudly
demanded that .tlie batteries should fire i but the
Minister of the Marine would not, withont having
the order of the Dry, who sent ward that hb woitid
immediately come in person to the shore.- Wan
time the two three-deckers, two 74's, and one of 60,
got time to take up their positions, about half past
two o'clock, at 60 fathoms from the shore, or about
half cannon shot. Now the forts began to fire, but
too late.

oc The ships, which were now firmly anchored,
made such a brisk firing that all the upper batteries
of he forts on the coast were •immediitely dis-
mounted—the lower ones held out six hours, am
did the English much injury. A Captain of Artil-
lery and a Lieutenant of the Navy now asked the
Admiral permission to get into a boat and set fire
the first Algerine frigate, which lay at the entrance
of the harbour, by means of * bri ms tone shirt.
" This attempt, which fully succeeded, made the
Algeriaes quite beside themselves • they knew not
whether they should save their llaet or keep op the
lire of the batteries.

" A pretty brisk west wind soon set the whole
fleet in flames a five frigates, four corvettes, and SO
gun boats were destroyed by the fire, which afforded
for Mit hours a most awful and magnificent specta-
cle. Towards midnight two frigates, elfin flames,
were driven by the wind out of the harbour, towlids
a part of the English squadron, which was bilged to,
cut its cables in. order to save itself.

44 The tremendous fire of the:.English fleet, which
continued without intermission foe above eight hours,
the bombs which (ell' into the city,' the Cupgrete
rocket's, and a fire ship tent against the Mole, at
length tamed the courage of the Algeristei. ' They.
*threw themselves back,the :batteries sAbe lyly was,
every where at the most dangerous place:ecpursged
his people, and distributed money Very lletally. Tbt
Marine Minister was severely wounded.
46. The Algetine Admiral, six Caiiiains, andS or.
900 men were killed in the batteries.on the ;licire, 300
more. And the same fate in the city and the other forts.
• " On the 28th the English squadion cast anchor
in the great road, and without cannon shut. Algier
was in .comternation, and. the Swedish Consul w;
requested to some to the Dey..
,4 When he arrived at the hotel of the Minister
the Marine,.he found the Dry and all the Members
the Government assembled there, who informed him
of their resolution to submit to all the demands

the English. Mean time a boat with &flag A trui
came from the English Admital, bringing a lent.
to the Dey, in which Lord Etmouth said, that A.
though the fortune of war and the advani4gei of his
position enabled him to prescribe to the Coyernmen,
of Algiers very hard conditions, he Would, however
