Count Bourmont, to His Excellency, the
President of the Council The debarka-
ton commenced at four o'clock this MORN
ing. All the troops are now ashore. The
enemy has been driven from the position
which he had taken up in the rear, and the
division Berthezene has captured nine guns
and two mortars. The road to the west of
Sidi Ferrach is good, and the feet should
remain here at anchor.

raj Duperre to His Excellency the Minister
of the Marine The fleet Yesterday an
chored in the bay of Sidi Ferrach. The
whole of the army landed to-day, and now

We have taken possession of the snemy's

Paris, June 81. The army has landed in
eight hours, with its ammunition and pro-
visions.
The enemy's positions have been turned
and carried the masses of cavalry which
he opposed to US were repulsed, his cannon
taken, and our army is encamped upon the
ground which he had occupied.
Galignani's Messenger says-It appears
that the fleet has found an excellent an
chorage, which was unknown, the discovery
OF which ensures complete success to the
operations. The troops have been divided
into three corps; one, to remain at the place
where the landing was effected; another,
to proceed along the coast, and take pos
session of the batteries that skirt it and
the third to march along the heights, in or
der to turn the town, and attack it ON the
east and south. The walls on that side are
said to be in such bad condition, as TO re-
quire but a few volleys to make a breach
1t is therefore considered not unlikely that
by this time the town is taken and the ex-
petition terminated. The roadstead of
Tore Chlca is an unexpected safeguard to
the expedition, and removes al! anxiety.
1t is only to he wished that there may be
no need of cavalry; for, according to &C
counts from Palma, almost all the horses
persisted during thirty days stay on board
the vessels. Sidi ell Ferruch is small port,
i've leagues west of Algiers, where the
Algerlne government ships its produce,
especially cattle, for the coast of Spain
and other European ports. Two roads, one
direct, the other along the coast by Caxine.
lead from Sid ell Ferruch to Algiers; these
roads, particularly that along the sea side,
are lntersecteG by chains of mountains,
winch do not present many obstacles to the
progress OF travellers. The point at which
the French army landed was mounted with
batteries. AS Sid ell Ferruch may be con-
sldered the mercantile port of the Algerine
capital, an attack on that side is striking
the regency to the heart; it is therefore
probable that the most powerful means
of defence were directed to that point.
Among the means to be employed for the
reduction of Algiers, is a new proiectile
called bale incendiaire. These balls are
put into pistols and muskets of large caliber,
and discharged by men who have been well
exercised. The ball is so constructed. that

galnst which it strikes. Several expert
ments were lately made in Paris, in pres
ence of commission appointed for the pur-
pose, and they are stated to have been fully
successful.-LOndon Literary Gazette.
