ELECTIONS.

It's with pleasure that we remark that

lately taken place are uniformly favorable

rate, the Legislature is very nearly equally

NEW REVOLUTION AT ALGIERS.

were highly agreeable. During the night of
the Sd. these officers fled to the caserns and
made known the Dey's intentions In the
morning the soldiers went unarmed to the
Palace and received their pay. having pre-
viously empowered the Divan to execute
the plan of the INTENDED change: upon their
return, a chaonX was dispatched, who pre-
sented himself before the Dey, and ordered
him to follow him out; the Dey at first as
sumed a tone of authority but to no pur-
pose: he dreadful mandate must be obey
ed, for chaouX and death are equally in
| exorable. He was instantly straRgled, and

who had taken refuge in ne Of the case rms
The usual ceremonies of ms aiiation were
performed, and the affair was terminated
without executing the smallest sensation or
alarm. The poor devil (who was killed)
was the Imam OF a little Mosque; and total
iy ignorant of the charge his ambition
prompted him to assume. He appeared to
have received a shock by his unexpected c.
ilevation, which benumbed his faculties; and

first rank, whose name should be recorded
with those of q Nero and Caligula. The
