 "Prince-The opening of the fire before .he fort of the Emperor was deferred till the 4th of July tn ur. der that all the batteries might ire at once Itloueht
 that lIy striking into the enemy OU the very frs, day by great superiority tn fire, should abrdge the duration Of the operations.
 The trenches were opened on the night of the 18th, after which the works were not interrupted a moment During the night, and even in the hours when the workmen are generally relieved the enemy's artillery fired but li',le During the day the Turkish and Arab shaTpshOOters protected by the bushes stole into tue ravines which were to the Jeff of the attack. They wounded considerable number Of men; hut the troops were soon covered by epauaments.
 "We had reason tO expect vigorous aall,es. The occupation Oi the fort Ofte Emperor allowed the en- e.ny to assemble without dang, before the Casauba They did not profit by this advantage. However, ev.
 "Ihe batteries had been erected with astonishing rapd''y. Among the 26 pieces Ot artillery mounted in them, there were 10 24-pounders, 6 l6 pUunders 4 40 inch mnrtars, aud 6 8 inch howitzars.
 '' All was ready before day.break on the 4th. A,4 o'clock in the mOrnng, rOCket gave the signal, and 'he firing cOunMsUced: that of the enemy rrped for three hours with much hrisknest. The Turkish gun- ners, though the widrucss Of the embrasures left them almost wholly exposed, remained bravcy their posts but could not long comiend against the skill aud .mtre- Pdiiy oG ours, whom General La Iiiue animated by his
 
 fort was silencet; that Ot batteries continued to ruin the works. The order tO make breach had been given, and was beginning to be executed, when, 10 o'clock, dreadful explosion caused pat of the fort to disappear. TOrrents of flame, clouds of dust and smoke, rose to prOdigious height; stones were thrown tn all directions, but did any serious accidents. General Hurel. who commanded the trenches, did not lose moment to pass the space between troops and the iOrl and to place them there in the midst Oi the ruins. It certain that at o'clock, the troops who defended being discour nRNhr riccd to no purpose, and that then the Dey ordered the powjcTmagazi iM the fort to be blown up. At o'clock flag of truce was brought to me on the ru of the fort Of tue Emperor. IL was the secretary of the Dey. He offered to indemnify France for the expenses of the war. 1 replied iha first of al, the Casauba the forts and the port, must be delivered up to the French troops. After appearing, to doub! whether this condition would be accepted, he allowed that the obetinacy of the Dey had been very latal.- When the Aigerines, they say, are ut war with the King of France, they must not repeat the evening Algiers. Soon afterwards two of the richest Moore of Agers sent by the Dey they did not dissem- ble that extreme terror prevailed among the soldiers aud the inhabitants, aud that all were dcsroue lsat negotiations should commence immediately. They desired would cause the 6sins to cease. promising that the fire of the place should be thea likewise su:- pended. This suspension Uf hostlities in .e fire took place. General Valaze took advantage Ot 1t to open communications beyond the fort oi the Emperor. Al 3oclock the Dey's Secretary returned, accompanied hy the Consul and Vice Consul of England he re- quested that the conditions of the peace might be re. duo ed to writing. This was done, aMd caused pa per to be delivered to him, copy of which yoor Ex- came for the third ,ime. The Dey desired that in lerpreter might be hm, in order that he might by his assistance understand what was required of him. M. Baschewi,z, formerly first interpreter to the army in Egypt, cent tO Ihe Casauba. The Deys when he made acquainted with the proposed convention said that he accepted the conditions, and that he placed implicit confidence in the Ere nch honor. had sIgn- ed the convention he put his seal to It, but de.'rrd that the armisce might be prolonged unt the 5i. ai moon in order that he might have tune to summon his Coumcl, and induce 1t iO subscribe to the cOndiit0Ra tiers: however, wO6ks contnued, and on the 5ih day break, communication Of 300 metres con necied the for of the Emperor with the spot on which the battery against the Casauba was to be erecie- To day the two MoOrs returned: they coanmis- stoned by the Dey to confirm the engagement into which they had entered by afixing his seal 10 the entOn, m they desired that the occupation should be deferred for twenty. -four hours. required that the forts, the por aud the city should be delivered up to the French troops at II o'clock in the mOrn'"g-l Ihe Dey consented. and at ths mo'ne" the standard of France is hoisted all the Of the city, e suhecton of which has beeO for so many ages the oo jec "f the wishes of ali Europe.
