ship Factor. captain Hamilton, arrived
al tins port from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on tie l4tli ul,imo, we have re-
ceived our files Of London papers to the
10Th of February, from which we have
made some extracts for this day 9 REGIS
TER.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Saturday and yes
terday we received three DAYS Paris pa
pers TO Thursday last inclusive. The
Journal DIES Debats Of Thursday gives the
following details respecting the late trans
actions at Algiers, which are stated 10
have been received at Paris by Sir Sgd
ney Smith. who communicated them to
the Anti Pirate institution. II this mar
rative is to be relied upon, although "
does not confirm all the revolving barba-
~rliy which was related in preceding ac-
count, ii is nevertheless ahundautly evi-
dent that the Dey of Aisers has deli
berately put himself in 4 state of hos
tility with all the Christian powers
The statement alluded To is as follows:
The captain OF the Sardinian poIacre,
Ia Belle Mari, which arrived al the La
zaretto nf Port MahoH, on the 9th OF De-
cember last, having left Algiers the Cd of
the same month, reports, as well as The
fugitive passengers on board, that the
new Dey, Ali Hodia, having established
his power by the aid of a considerable bo-
dy OF Mnors, no longer set any bounds
to his fury or his tyrannica conduct
that all The European powers, without
distinction, had been outraged; that all
the Consuls had been menaced and terri
fled by numerous horde of negroes, of
whom the Dey's gsard and court are
composed and who had forced themselves
into the houses of the Consuls, the secu-
Iity OF which had ceased to be inviola-
tle. The-captain reports also, that Ali
HOdja had caused TO be destroy ed the
ancient palace of his predecessors that
he had established himself in fort, call
ed lie Chateau Emperor; that he had not
hesitated TO seize the treasure which was
kept there, and which had been hitherto
religiously preserved; and that he had
thus obtained immense means to support
for long time his horrible satellites,
and TO increase their number.
",The Dey had caused 10 be seized two
young women of Jewish family, whose
father was employed i'll the English Con-
sulate, and two days afterwards also, the
eldest daughter Of the Sieur Pominlbio,
master of the French Hotel. This umfor-
tunate girl last mentioned was compelled
to espouse tie Dey, and she is now Sove-
reign, interpreting the fate of the daugh-
ter of the Dey of 1'yterus who was seized
IN the same manner by the late Dey HadIi
Ali, and who was found after his deathin
prison and emaciated by hunger.
The greater part of the Consuls as
sembled TO make, in unison, complaints
and circumstances, but having been in
formed before they reached the Palacc,
that orders had been issued by Ali-HOdja
In. IN TO
Consuls who should venture to make a.
ny complaint or remonstrance, and being
convinced OH their arrival at the Palace
of the truth of this statement by the me-
uacing gestures Of the negroes by whom
they were Immediately surrouuded, they
found themselves compelled to retire, af.
ter having recourse TO common place re-
marks and insignificant observations in
order 10 fill up the time of this useless au-
dience.
The policy adopted by the present
Dey, who is Turk, is 10 arm the natives
OF the country against his own fellow
country men, thus making d new epoch in
the history Of these countries. Such an
example authorizes every other to assem-
bile an army of mercenaries of the same
description in order to dispute with him
the sovereignty.
This experiment was a short time
tried by Turk of distinction; he march
ed against Ali Hodja with some troops
which he had collected at Constantine,
but The issue of the first battle proved un-
favorable 10 him, and he was made pri-
soneT. The hospitality which Ali Hodia
had formerly received from this Turk in
duced him to spare his life, he gave him
1000 sequins and exiled him. This Turk.
who was the chief of the insurgents, has
arrived at Mahon."
These Journals contain three DAYS
further discussion of the recruitment pro
lect i'll the Chamber of Deputies. They
bad proceeded by Wednesday as far as
title 6, respecting promotion, upon which,
before going into the consideration OF
the articles under that head, warm de-
bate took place, the Ultras coniendng

theirs defending il on the ground of its
being a guarantee TO the officers of the
army, which the King himself was desi-
rous OF establishing, the royal prerOga-

arrived, the discussion was adjourned til
