The same capt. Hebert relates, that
several works of defence have been con-
structed OH the coast in front OF Bona
that at hlg.ers all the ramparts are noun
ted with cannon taken from the vessc Is
and, he adds, that the AIgerines have a
considerable camp at Tremesin, near the
acqurss cts of Babasson, which 10 protect

The mountain which faces the sea. is
occupied with bsstiles, having gardens
surrounded by walls on several points
forts are erected. The A.gcrnes intend
to retire within these bastioes should
the town be bombartled. They are all
supplied with water, and the orchards that
surround them form little woods, which
render them very agreeable. The most
common tree in the country is that kind of
fig called the Christian.
The Day Of Algiers has not at present
IL. 900 militia, but if war should break out,
he can easily asse nble from SO to 10000
men. 1t may easily be imagined, however.
that such troops could not keep the ii Id
long for as they have neithe magazines nor
munitions of war. & live cn,irel, or piIlage,
they must soon exhaust the country they oc-
cupy.
A prejudice prevails here against the
English, who are regarded (perhaps very
unjustly) as the cause of the misfortunes
of the Christians in Africa. Had they
shown themselv, in the character of
masters. it is certain that the governments of
the Regencies would have liked nothing
better than to have made solid peoce
CONDITIONS may b. presented to them, and
Sc curities taken, but to do so, is treating
with them pc between power and power.
Contributors are paid them, and far from
humiiisting Them, there insolence is aug
menied. Italy suffers much from the &C
tual state of things. Her shores are con-
stantly menaced; and as the pirates are
not to be destroyed, they will only suspend
their depredatioRs in order to recommence
them.

a vcntrioquist hos been banished from
the states of Parma for some unlucky spsci-
mems of his art. Following funeral pro-
cession to Pl iisance he heard the bearer of
the Cross ask on which side he should turn
the procession having arrived at a cross
way.-The Nentrioquist, initiating the
Voice of the deceased, SAID, " When | was
alive | went on this side where we are"
These words spread terror amongst the
people present every one fled, and the
dead was left alone. In another instance,
under the portco. where wheat is sold,
there is A provisional prison destined for
those who disturb the market. The Ven

:" In so large, opulent, and of itself so po-

scarcely make any difference /; but in our

many foreigners becomes very perceptible,
and the many emgrant Frenchmen now

OF society. There are at present in this
place multitude of French ex-dukes,
counts, baroDS. ministers, aid councillors

has any claim upon him for assistance in
obtaining a settlement, which his very
great wealth enables him easily to do, He
seldom visits the societies of this city, ard
his circle is chiefly confined to Frcnchmen.
He lately made a oursey to Philadelphia,
where he was accompanied by Marshall

time, General Causel was also in his suite.

returned to New York from Charleston,
where he purchased 10 600 acres of land
in South Carolina. He is much oc upied
in writing, and from tine to time publishes
very interesting articles in the American

OF Bonaparte, he now, in all lie writes at

a genuine republican. Eight Thousand
