| EXPEDITION TO ALGERs.-Paris, June 2I.--Fhe
government has received letters tonight from Admit
raj Duperre.
On the 10th inst. the expedition left Parma ma
jorca and the 18th presented itself again before
the coast of Africa, and the winds second time for
ced to On the 18th arrived before Algicrs,
and having coasted along the forts and batteries put
into the bay Of TorreChica. Tho fort of this bay,
and the battery AZ the point, abandoned by the
enemy, but the mortars aud cannons which were ia
ken from them, were Afterwards posted on the neigh
boring heights.
The steamboat lie Nagour compelled battery con-
sisiing Of n mortar and two cannon to be withdrawn
A sailor of tho ship LIE Breslaw was wounded. An.
other sailor, belonging the frgatc La Survleante,
had his leg taken off by cannon ball. h was too
late to attempt debarkation, but all the arrange
ments had been made to effect landing.
Three light vessels were placed to the east of Tore
Chica, as battery in flank of the batteries of the
emy while two steam vessels were to protect the de-
barkation on the west.
On the I4th, at half past in the morning. tho first
division of the army effected it's landing, together with
eight pieces Of cannon.
This movement succeeded at O'Clock by the
second division and the whole field artillery.

| The following details respecting the expedition are
said TO be derived from source which reliance
may be paccd:-It is believed tina, the troops havo
been divided into three corps; to remain at the
place where the landing effected another. 10 pro-
coed along the coast and take possession Of the bat
tees that skirt it; and the third, march upon tho
heights: in order to turn the town, and attack
the east and south. The walls that side aid
to be in such bad condition to require but few
volies to make breach; it is therefore considered
not unlikely that by this time the town is taken, and
the expedition terminated. The roadstead of Tur-
etta-Chca IS an unexpected safeguard to the expedi
ton and removes all anxiety. Ii is only to be wished
that there may be need of cavalry, for, according
accounts from Palma almost all the horses persisted
during thirty days stay board the vessels. The
18th regiment of chasseurs will make the campaig-
on foot. On the 9th, when the fleet still al

Flour, &c.-Upwards of 1000 bbls. of American
Flour arrived here last week, and part of was sold

prospect of advancing-The early part of the sea-
son was extremely favorable to the growth of wheat
but the long period Of five six weeks of cold rains
lately experienced throughout the country, must
prove highly detrimental both to the quantity and
the quality Of the growing crop. Yesterday tho
