The following are extracts:--
The Havrc Journal Of the 18th, in spec.
ulating upon the effect upon foreign ma.
tions of the blockade Of Algiers, has these
remarks:-"We must expect, five under
take to blockade Algiers closely, that the
Americans, who are traffickers beyond ev.

whenever there shall be such a scarcity
as will enable them to sell their cargoes
dear Then will recur those questions, still

Hence the writer infers the necessity Of
large naval force to be employed by France
in this attack. Admiral Duperre, a name
which inspires much confidence in the
! French navy is to have the command.
The same paper in answer to question
! from contempory Of what should be done
with Algiers when taken, makes this an.
swer:-"when we shall have taken Algiers,
an event yet doubtful, wen blow it sky

assassin or high way robber.
The Journal du Havre expresses appre.
tensions that the Ministers will decide up.
on freighting American vessels, as trans
ports for the expedition against Algiers,
as those ships may be had cheaper than
tho French. The same journal states that
all the, sailors that can be laid hold of at
Havre, Fecamp, and DIcppe, are forcibly
enrolled, so that the merchant vessels are
left without hands.

The Nuremburg Gazette contains let.
ter, dated Frontiers of Russia, January

change Of couriers between Paris and ST.

cudes that the alliance between the two
Cabinets is gaining strength, while, on the
contrary, degree of coldness subslsts be
tween the Court Of ST. Petersbnrgh and
that of st. James.
A private letter Of the 80 of January
from st. Petersburgb, represents the polt.
ical horizon there as lowering, and men.
tions the prospect of renewal of the war
with Turkey. 1t is apprehended that the
Treaty OF Adrianople, or at least the 6nan.
cal part of it, will not be executed The
pretence alleged is the exhausted state of

contains a letter Of the 18th Of January

a second campaign.
