REPARAXIE-1246104,T0, THE
BRITISH NATION.

.r._.

I,ea itteintelligence we have to communicate needs
be told to rouse the energies of a great and a
14caple to prepare for speedy and exemplary
nce, on a set of robbers who have too long
%criminally permitted to exercise the most daring
wanton attacks on the rights of civilized widow.
Ke learn by a letter from Genoa, dated the 15th
wan, inserted in the Paris Papers of Monday,
id; we have just received, that the Sardinian
at Algiers had arrived at Genoa, and
tcated the following particulars of a recent
and tragical occurrence at that Regency,
tick the British Consul, and in his person the
ty of out Nation has been most grossly insulted;
the insult accompanied with, and followed by
of atrocious ferocity and murder, alike shock-
to our feelings as countrymen ci she 'sufferers,

as men.
A Sardinian brig, it appears, had been captured!
taken into Algiers, under the pretext tb her
were irregular. The Sardinian Vice-Consul.
te•ted against the seizure, and, accompanied by
1-.11 of the other Consuls, repaired to the Palace
it DE‘ to demand reparation. The DElf received
surrounded by his guards, and with a drawn
in his hand. At the same instant the English

presented himself to complain to the DIY of
acts of violence which his son and two nieces
jast experienced; They had been seized in the
the young man had been thrown into a dun-
and the two Ladies dragged to the seraglio of
Du, where they had ken pat into dresses after the,
riish fashion.
The DEE, furious at the complaint, ordered the
in of his Guards to bring the young English-
before him—when, horrid to tell—.-1113 READ

STRUCK OFF IN HIS FATHERS PRESENCE!!

Who would attempt to describe the feelings of a
- so dreadfully excited ! Trembling with horror,
from the place as fast as his trembling limbs
carry him, to endeavour to form some decision
the line of conduct he ought to pursue under
lstances which he could hardly allow himseifi
'eve were real, but rather the illusions of a hor-

dream.

The scene, alas! was nest visionary. Intmedkeetyl
the barbarous immolation, the bleeding head of
ion of the British Consul was exposed on the
of the Palace, as a mark for the insults of a
Turkish soldiery.

need hardly add, that all the Consuls felt a
interest in the scene that had been transacted.
learning that the head of our countryman had
thus exposed, the Sardinian Vice-Consul has-
to express his sentiments of this dreadful trans-

, but received for answer an order instantly to
Algiers. But mark the brutality of these bar-
His daughter was forcibly taken from him,
probably, like our countrywomen, whose wrongs

cry on us for vengeance, consigned to the Se-
of the Dm The Vice-Consul was obliged to
the Regency without his child!

The foregcing intelligence will, it is extremely
, be in some way alluded to in Parliament
very evening. If authentic, the Nation has but,
course to pursue, on such an occasion as this
we would not be surprised should it prove to be
case, that while we are writing these remarks,
are issuing to the proper departments to pre-
an armament against the spoilers, adequate to
extent of the vengeance which justice and htuna-
demand for crimes so atrocious as to defy In-
to furnish adequate terms by which to de-
their enormity and turpitude.
Need we add, that the punishment cannot be now
'iced as on the last visit paid by our Navy to Al-
,s. The works have been repaired, and for some
the Algerines have been boasting that they can-
:low be surprized into a defeat by a naval force.
el-.ave no doubt that the fact is so. A large mill-
-7• force must accompany the expedition, and the
'ace must be assailed on the land side. It is not
r province " to arrange the hosts of battle." Those
planned and executed the measures which gave
victory in the field of Waterloo, will be at no loss
deride what measures may be necessary for the
vrthrow of the piratical robbers who have so long
.ulted the nations of Europe.

The Blue Itibband vacant by the death of the Mar-
ci ABERCORN, is to be conferred on the Marquis
AYoLestn. Such honours ought to be gained in
field.
