r.PORIT.D ATROCIT:ES AT ALGIERS.

Nd ftrther accithr.tstave been rcce.vhd either con-
firming or tending to ins tlida.c the statement re
specting Ore atrocious brutality of the DaY of Al.-
to the family of Mr. M'Dos.ill,D, Out Consul.
The only argumert we have met with, against its
truth, is the dreadful enormity of the deeds related;
but alas for the safety of our countrymen, if it rests
on no other hope than what may arise from the im-
possibility of a despotic ruffian being capable of per-
petrating such a deed *of horror ! Happy shall we
to find that we owe our alarm to the wicked de-
tice of some fabricator, imbued with a mind as ca-
pable of committing an act of cruelty as any African
tyrant ; fur we can conceive no wanton act to exceed
M wickedness such conduct. But we find it much
easier to believe that the Ds has incurred the guilt
itaputed to him by the statement we yesterday laid
'before our Readers, than that such a monster can be
found oa this side of the Mediterranean, as debbe-
ilately to put humanity on the rack by such a fiction.

Our last accounts froth Gibraltar were of the St la
January—ten days prior to the accounts from Genoa,
and, consequently, could give no information on the
subject. It will be some days, probably, before we
can learn any thing farther; and it is probable the
first farther accounts will be received via Marseilles.
FARTIIiR ACCOUNTS.

Since writing the above a Dutch Mail has arrived,
by which we have received a Frankfort Paper of the
29th of January, in which there is inserted a letter
from Genoa, dated the 10th, (five days earlier than
the Genoa letter in the French Papers) stating the
arrival there of the Sardinian Vice-Consul, and de-
tailing the same circumstances, but with the ft&

lowing differences in the particulars :—The letyr in the
Frankfort Paper says—" The Dey received the Con•
" suls, Surrounded by his guards, and with his sabre
" in his hand, and fell into such a rage, that he
" threatened the English Consul to have his sons
" head cut off, and to have it fixed up at the door
" of the hall of the audience, if they troubled him
," any further. At the request of the terrified fa-
" ther all the Consuls desisted for the moment.—
" The next day the Sardinian Vice-Consul was or-
" dered to leave Algiers."

The letter adds If the half of this is true, it
is sufficient to excite the indignation of all Eurorit
" against these barbarians."—The opinion is, that'
confirmation of these circumstances must be waited for.

This account, therefore, differs from the other, in
not mentioning the seizure of the Vice-Consul's daugh-
ter, nor the clothing the British Consul's nieces in a
Turkish dress ; but it adds what is nearly equivalent,
" They were seized in the streets, and put into the
" Harem."

. The following is the only other article worthy of
notice brought by this Mail:

FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JANUARY 30

It is stated that the Duke of Wellington will make
this time a long stay in Paris, where he is intrusted
with important negotiations in the name of Russia,
England, Austria, and Prussia. The Dukes own
opinion is said to be, that it is not advisable to with-
draw the Allied troops, on account of the state of
parties in France, which their presence keeps in check,
thus preserving the peace of the neighbouring States.
One object of the Dukes visit to England, was to
provide measures to keep the British corps in France
at its full compliment.
