harbour. According to the account of
the sailors, it appears certain that in con-
sequence of the insurrection against the
Christians atleast 60 persons had persisted.
The pi'lage was general. The house of

number OF 900. were arrested and put in
Irons. They were threatened with instant
death, and ell suffered dreadful agonies.
These unhappy persons remained in this

Consul went to them to encourage them,
and assure them that every thing would
be restored to order. and that they had

advised by his ministers to write a letter to
the Dey OF Algiers, and which was trans
