ted to the terror Of the enemy. In the opinion
of all those who took part in the battle of stron-

system will appear decided. The fire of the bat
teries, which the enemy had erected, in part of
his camp, did not stop our troops for moment.
The eight brass guns in them were taken by the
Goth regiment of the line. The Turks and Arabs
had taken flight in all directions.
..Their camp fell into our power; 400 tents
were standing; those of the Aga of Algiers, of
the Beys of Constantia, and Titeri, are very mag

powder and ball, magazines of provisions, sew
eral hocks of sheep, and about 10S camels,
which will add To our means OF conveyance. Our
soldiers slept under the enemy tents.

have been put on shore to-day, and a still great
