This fact | important, and is mentioned to show how easily this fort, on which depends the fate ot Algiers, may he reduced Though the deiences of Algiers on the sea side are truly formidable, 1t is no capabiie of sustaining. n siege from tilt land side for three days. It has not e ven complete enclosure; ;the ranpart' are broken at short distances by houses whose #allsspring from the ditchesaid give an appearance of iortifleation, but in fact, are of no strength. The ditch Ees afe always dry, and there are nc means of filing them; nor, on account oi their rapid descent, would water lodge Fin them- The town has three gates on the land side; the Babalonet in the West, the new gate on the West, and i5abazon on the East. It's only supply ot water is from an open aqueduct, on 6 6 level with the ground, and 1t comes from about half league from Algiers. Nothing can be more easy than to cut this of, and 10 force the palace to sur render for want of water. The garri- son. consists of 4,000 Turks, and 1000 more are distributed in the various sur rounding posts. The Notifications are mounted withS00 piecesof cannon, ,ofdif terent ealibre, towards the sea, and IO0 10 l20 on the land side. 1t must De admitted that the great difficulty is iii ciffcctifg q laudiHg. The French army must expect to be opposed by 9 4ost of Arabs, who will dispute the ground with them, but these Arabs, are totally undisciplined, and badly armed, many of them still using match iock-g guns. They will come down with provisions for a few days only, and hun ger will very soon drive them back to 'heir mountains, if the3 are not previ- ously put 10 flight by our artillery. The French maps call that part of the shore OH which 1t Is supposed that the invading army will be deharked, Ton- retta Ghica. This point, known in tbat eouRtry by the name Sedf Fereneh, Is about four leagues from Afgiers, on the West; but whether the landing be afec- ted on the Westor on the East, 2 great abundance of water will be every where found. ssEhia EsEhia climate I can de- clare to be very healthy, less hot than perhaps Provence, if judgment may be formed from the luxuriance of the vegitatior, which Aourishes on every spot of the soil. There is never any raging fever at 8Igiers, and the plague is only to be found when imported from Egypt; ten years have elapsed since lts last appearance.

 The Paris Moniteur contains the French Manifesto against Algiers, which details the wrongs of the barbar- rianRegency. The establishments of France on the African coast, have, it seems, been rendered insecure by the aYowed design of the Dey to wresf them from her, and her merchants have thus been prevented from forming establish ments there. The Dey told the French Consul publicly, that he would moi al- low single Trench cannon to remain inthe territory of Algiers, and caused the forts and the commercial establish ments to be demolished. For the coral fishery, also, France was originally to pay i7,00O francs. This sum was sue |cessiyely raised to 60,000 and 100000 francs, and, in 1926, the Dey granted permission to fish for coral to allnations. thus taking away the French privilege. Many private motives of complaint are added, such as the pillage of the yes sels of France, or of powers under the protection of her flag; domiciliary vis- it's, and other insults to her Consul; the enaetion of higher duties than those settled by the treaty; insolence and du- |plicity in the affair of the Algerine Jews, Baeri and Busnack, and an in- tringement of the convention in regard to it.
