Till BARBARY STATES.—A Work of very consi-
derable interest, we understand, is about to appear,
under the superintendence of Captain BLACIUMERR, and dedicated,
by permission, to the PRINCE REMIT, relative to Algiers. It is
the production of Signor Pasanu, a scholar of Tuscany, who,
during the Revolution, removed to England. On his return to
his native country he had the misfortune to be captured by the
pirates, and carried to Algiers. •On making himself known to
the Consuls, however, he was immediately liberated, receiving
at the same tine a peculiar mark of distinction from the Der.
He remained in the Regency a considerable time, and applied
himself to the investiga4on of the History, Government, plan-
ners, am! Customs of this highly interesting part of Africa.
Front the disti ignised talents of the Author, his perseverance,
and his opportunities for research, it may be expected that muck
new light will be thrown on this' important subject, particularly
when it is considered that no Work on Algiers has appeared for
a very long period.
LORD Slots OUTH V. THlSTLzwoon.—Monday after-
noon, Thistle-wood, attended at the Crown Office, in
company of two Officers of the King's Bench Prison,
and Dr. Watson, to receive a list of his Jury, which
is specials Dr. Watson took down the name and resi-
dence of each juryman.
FIRE.—A fire broke out in the workshop of SPIRE.
woos and RATCLIFFE, wheelwrights and carpenters,
at Hythe, about half-past two on Friday morning
last. The premises being of timber, burnt with great
rapidity; but by the judicious exertions of the inha-
bitants, with the two parish engines, and a party of
the Royal Staff Corps with the barrack engine,
the fire was confined to the premises in question, and
finally subdued in about an hour and a half, the
work-shop and alodge being burnt to the ground.
ACKIEMANN'S PATENT AxLe.--Satuxday the new
Carriage, on the principle Of ACKRRMANN'S Patent
Moveable Axle, was again shewn at DODD'S Manu-
factory, Crawford-street, Montagu-square, to a r.u-
merous assemblage of persons of the first rank, in-
cluding some of the Foreign Ambassadors. The
Carriage was drawn round the Yard in the course of
the day, and the simplicity and utility of the New
Construction received that universal approbation- to
which its ingenuity and superior safety entitle it. It
may, perhaps, be the fate of this Improvement, like
all others, to have for a day to struggle against the'
prejudices of those who will not be easily driven out
of the old plodding track; but the universal appro-
bation which the New Plan received from Gentle-
men of mechanical science on the first day, and from
the Fashionable World on Saturday, leave no doubt
of its being immediately and universally adopted.—
This Plan, which -unites superior safety to neatness
and simplicity, can be applied to old Carriages. as
well as new.

destruction of the plantations in the French Colocies
by hurricanes, last year, is, in a• great meaturei
confirmed."
