Alsiers, formerly kiagdom, is 48'
miles long, and from 40to 100 in breadth.
Tunis is 22O miles long. and 40 broad
Tripoli, including Batca, extends 100
miles in length, and is from 100 miles to
500 miles broad. These states have con-
siderable military force and their cavalry
is very numerous and efficient. The Em-
peror of Morocco can bring 100000 men
