"The Algerines do not trouble them
selves about this difference, if they can
only make war upon the European ma
tons at their pleasure, and enrich their
state with the sums extorted from them,
or with the value of the ships captured
from them. The whole of the Marine of

soon after the bombardmentwith an Am

Fishery. at Bona, which was farmed TO
the English, from 1906 for $4,000 hard
piastres, has ceased, it has been offered
TO France and Naples. France, which
had possessed the privilege from the be-

said 10 be not disinclined to take ii again

Extract Of letter from st. Petersburg,
March 90 =" There is great hustle in
our foreign department. Every week
couriers arrive from the different great ca
pitfalls of Europe. The number of our di-
plomatic agents abroad is more conside-
rable than ever. 1t is said, that NJ. Poz-
20 di Borgo will be recalled from his post
not confirmed. NJ. Marcoff, our former
Ambassador at Paris i'm 1902, under the
Consulate, and whom Bonaparte, at that
time, reproached with being in the inter-
ests of England, has gone to Paris but
it appears that his mission has private
object. The stay of Count Rostopchn
at Paris has probably no political end in
view. Count Langeron, Frenchman in
origin, and who succeeded III. de Richie
lieu i'm the situation of Governor of Odes-
sa, in the Black Sea, has been here for
two months. He will return 10 Odessa
next month, to deliver up his government
to Prince Repnin. NJ. Langeron will
then return to France, his native coun-
try. Odessa is now free port; the de-
claration which made it so, was signed in
the Senate GU the 9TH of February. The
communications between the capital and
Odessa are kept up regularly by couriers,
who 60 there in nine days, and return IN
the same time"
Bv recent accounts from India we are
informed, that considerable movement
pervades the native powers throughout
the northeast and centre of the PenInsu-
la. The tributaries and officers of the
Raiah of Jypour. terrified by the advan-
ces of Ameer Khan, and still more by the
imbeclitv of their own Raiah, resolved
at one time to call in the assistance of the
Company's troops-at another 10 choose
a more capable and sufficient Sovereign.
The British resident at Delhi had receiv-
ed intelligence that the number OF Pin
darrces in the field amounted TO no less
than so. 900, mostly well equipped, and
all we'll mounted. Their mode of making
war is most destructive, as plumber is
their onlv object; they separate for the
purpose into bodies of from 100 to or
5000 horse; and ravage territory Of sc
miles or more in circumference whence
after rendering it perfect desert, they
march elsewhere to similar devasta-
tions.--It was detachment of several
thousands ofthesc fierce marauders which
traversed last year the Whole of India
and penetrating to the Bay of Bengal,
laid waste the British Province of Cat
ack i'll the very neighborhood of Calcutta.
II is presumed that some decisive mea-
sures will be taken by the Company's
Government, and their several allies, to
check the progress OF tins terrible ban
ditti, and to chastise their insOlence !;
since. otherwise, there will be neither Sc
curity nor tranquility for the peaceful
Inhabitants from north 10 south of India
For this purpose his highness the Nizam
had resolved TO embody 5000 cavalry,
and place them, under the command of
British officers. To this end it also was
coniectured, as much as with any view
towards anticipating the designs of the
Mahrattas, subsidiary force of six bat
tallions of Company's infantry, five regi-
ments Of horse, and proportionate num-
Der of artillery, were forthwith TO assem-
BILE at Nagpo1r, in the dominions of the
Raiah of Berar, under the command Of
Col. ]. Adams and Col. Firth, had been
