From Mogddore.-Ihe brig Active,
Captain Clark, arrived this morning 10 As
days from Mogadore. One Of her pas
seDgers informs US, that the Emperor's
Vizier was assassinated in December last.
While reviewing platoon OF rs men (of
the Imperial Guards, he struck the cap
tain for some supposed irregularity, Oh
which one of the soldiers levelled his
musket and shot him. The Vizier had
held his place for upwards Of thirty years,
during which time, he had practised all
sorts Of impositions upon the people, and
particularly upon those engaged 10 com.
merce. After his death the people de-
molisIied his house, and found in it, vast
quantity of gold and silver, the proceeds
of his extortion. He is represented as
having been a man Of strong mind and in-
sinuating manners, which is corroborated
by his having maintained his dangerous
pest SO long. and his having originally
been bought as common slave at the
market, by order Of the Emperor.
In consequence Of the conduct and
death of the Vizier, the Emperor's Guards
revoIted, and took possession of the roads
leading 10 Mequinez, the capital OF the
empire. The result Of the revolt or
mutiny is not known.

An Alligator, weighing 900 lbs. meas
uring IL feet in length, and pronounced,
by the best connoisSears, thirty-three
years old, was recently killed 10 this VIZ
cinity, brought to town, and exhibited as
curiosity. This hideous monster had
been often assailed Upwards Of loo
buck shot and bullets were found 10 his
carcase; which had barely penetrated
his &c coat Of mail" aud seemed to have
caused him no inconvenience. When last
discovered, the old offender was basking
quietly 10 the sunshine /; and, though SO
often the guilty murderer Of calves, lambs,
poultry, pigs, and many a faithful dog, was
" fallen into one Of those sweet slumbers
that attend the innocent" But the hand
of justice, which never spares, stole upon
MIN unperceived, and put period TO bis
false security and his career Of criminality
together. His corpse has been dissected,
and two liehtwood knots and rackoon
we're found in his insatiate NAV. The
remains of such monster have been
deemed worthy Of preservation, and have
been prepared for the distinguished place
which will doubtless be allotted them in
the Museum of the metropolis of this state.
