GENOA, Oct s9.-The Dey of Algers and his
, SUIT arrived here on the 24th Of this month. A
part of his harem was landed at Leshorn the day
before. and is lodged in one Of the country houses
Of Cornegl,ano. Hussein is gone to the same
Palace. The Dey had just hired Sandman ship
Of 500 tons burden. on board OF which he has
embarked ammunition, two small hOwitzers. five
field pieces. and other arms. which his friends
have sent him from Leghorn On board the same
vessel the Dey has given passage to several rich
merchants Of Fee, and several emissaries OF the
Emperor Of Morocco, who want to return to that
country BY safe road, at distance from those
parts Of the country which are in a state of re
, volt against their Sovereign. The captain OF the
ship has ordered to land them at Arzeio, little
port between Agers and Oran. where the au-
thority of France is not yet recognised.
From this point it will be easy for these Afr.
can passengers to reach TremeZne, where they
will find the troops of the Emperor OF Morocco,
which occupy that place. The instructions given
to the captain of the ship are, to land the arms
and ammunition which he has on board in the
road ot Arzeio, which is still the possession Of
the Bedoins. The order Of the Dey OH this i'm
porlant point, may induce belief that an under"
standing exists with the Emperor OF Morocco,
for the invasion of the province OF Dram, aud that
he still thinks of pro6tting by the powerful sup
port of that monarch if his troops should remain
longer at Trpm"zne, and continue their hostili
ties against France. 1t would at least be desira-
Bile that the French Ministry should at length
compel the Emperor of Morocco to Withdraw his
troops from the territory of Oran, where their
presence encourages disorders.
