 The Cape of Sidi eI Ferruch, or of Turetta Chica, advances into the sea, and forms on either side of the bay. The fleet remains at anchor on tho west. At a league and a quarter to the northeast of this capeis is the point of the Sidi Half. A league further is the Cape Caxine. Ras- acconnater,J which is the point the fnrthest from the north. At three quarters of a league to the east of Cape Caxine is the Mers el Dhabanue, or Port of Flies. A league and quarter further is the Point
 Pescady. To the south, at the distancs of league, is the port of Algiers. From ] Turetta Chica to Algiers the distance in direct line is foar leagues and haH By l following this route the castle of fthe Elm peror is met with; on the right and the left the signal post of the Admiralty. pIa- ced on the summit of Mount Bouiarcah. which is at an elevation of 15O metres a. bove the sea. It is probable that these two important points will become the ob- ject of the operations of the army
 During all the expeditions against Al- giers, where the land forces were employ- ed, the disembarkation has uniformly been effected in the road to the eastward of the town. This was certainly owing to ignof- ance of the coast, and ofth topography of the country; for it is precisely in that quarter, that all it's means of defence are concentrated. It isquite clear that an ar- my could effect a landing ip the road of Sidi Eerrucil, without meeting any ohsta- eles. |. From thence one single march would lead to the heights, which overlook and command the fort of the Emperor and as it would not encounter there any thing else to olprevent it's approaching the ramparts, it could easily take the castle by storm, or with the assistance of mines. Be- ing once master oftbe position; batteries nigh: be established on a height which commands the citadel, and which may be easily reconnoiteFed from the ruins of two windmlfs of cylindrical form, and from the ruins of Fort Star, which no longer ex~ Ists, owing to the approximations of a ieal-, ous government, which must necessarily have condemned it, since il commands the citadel and consequently the town. After landing the army, the fleet would lluea show itself in the Bay, to draw off the at.. tontion of the enemy, and the town would either capitulate or be carried by storm.a Ias The French armament against Anglers consisted at it's departure from Tousoa of 6S ships of war (inchding twelve sail of the line and 20 frigatesJs it's land force a. mounted to 37,577 men, and 4OOO horse. The first division left Toulon on the 25th 1 of May; on the 29tIait reached tho coast 1 of Africa. On the 3Oth and the following 1 dayit was driven back to Palma, in the island of Majorca, where the whole feet had rendezyoused by the 7th June, and om the 14th the whole army had disembarked within few leagues ,Algiers. esN
