Two days ago, at an early hour, II.
NJ. brig Heron, OF se guns. arrived here
from Algiers, aud soon after Lord FIX
mouths flag captain landed from her,
bearing dispatches. Heset ont in n!iour
for London. As am on terms of mtima-
cy with the British acting Consul, the fol
lowing particulars were communicated to
me soon after, with an injunction not to
diyulge them until yesterday morning.
Lord Exmouth, in the Queen Char
lotte, three decker, and his whole squad
ron, appeared or Algiers on the 27th An-
gast, and as he hada plan of all their forts
and Notifications, every vessel in the
squadron had It's station assigned PRIOR
70 its approaching the city. The orders
were, that every vessel should run III as
close to the batteries as possible, allowing
q foot or two OF wafer more than thoirdrail,
and there anchor. The flagship Queen
Charlotte, anchored within about GO
yards OF one OF tire strongest batteries; to
the great surprise OF tila Algerines. The
lmpregnable, also three decker, anchor
ed about similar distance before anoth-
er very strong battery. The other YES
sells took their stations as before arrang-
ed, and Immediately opened most ter
rible and destructive fire. Id. ExmOutb,

Der OF persons, to the amount Of about
three thousand, apparently come down
from the country, and were mere spec
tators, being unarned, wapsd to them
to retire, is they were within reach of his
guns. His humane attentions were not
attended TO, and as he could not delay the
attack, he opened his batteries, and
his first broadside killed and wounded
four hundred aud 0praSds Of these poor
wretchcs.
g Soon after party landed, and carri-
ed the battery which commands the town,
by Storm.
g The firing continued on both sides.
without iniermiSsion, for nine houyS and q
haJ-it was then near midnight, when the
Algerlne batterieswe completely silenc-
ed. Lord Exmouth's squadron immedi-
ately ceased firing. 1t may appear aston
ishlng, though nevertheless true, that the
ammunition on board most of the vessels
was completely exhausted. What with
the firing and the Congreve rockets, the
sight was awfully gTand-the darkness of
the night rendered the scene more so.
"The Algerine loss is computed at Serep
thousand, and that ofthe British, in killed
and wounded, at nine hundred, the princi-
pal part kiled-not by cannon shot, but
musket balls. The squadron scarcely
suffered in their huils or rigging, Lord
EXmoutli's ship sustained less of killed
and wounded, rising four hundred men
The Impregnable also suffered very much
Three captains of men of war were killed
their names have not learnt. The
Dutch squadron lost only sixteen men
killed, and twenty -four wounded Lord
Exmouth was wounded IN the arm.
