ALG2 E,Rs.-Extraet of a letter late(d April 13 :--" The country round the warlike city of Algiers is very mountainous, hav- ing sntow on the tops and sides in the higher regions; but the hil.s and vallies are beautifully ornamented with trees, and all the flats are in high cultivation. The city stands on the point of the Mole Head; the buildings are chiefly of white stone, angular shaped; there are batteries, with heavy brass guns, all round towards the sea, and a lhilithouse nearlv as high as the Mlonument in London, with an immense lutninary on its summit; a half-moon battery of 120 gutis protects the entrance into the Mole. In the inner mole or harbour we can disdnctly see thte masts of seyeral frigates and small cruisers. Sonti after wye anchored in the bay the captain of the port came on board; he is a fine manly-ioaking persotiage, with a long gray bushy beard, an itmnnenselv long red turban, long red trousers or wrappers, and a blue coat jacket Iichly embroidered with gold braiding on the shoulders, back, elbows, and wrists; he wore no stockings, his slippers wrere of thin blue leathfler, wvithout strings or buckles.

Fleet-street and -the Inner Temple are to be considerably improved and altcred. At present there is not a good carriage en- trance to the Inner Temple, and those who reside in it are put to muclt incotivenience, particularly after the gates are closed in the evening. The improvements cotiteinplated are, the pulling down the houscs in Mitre-court, ileet-street, and Rani-alley, adjoinitig the west side of Sergeant's-inn, whiclh will tmiake a spacious and handsome entratice to the Inner Temple from Fleet-street; the dif- ficulties it mak'ng these improvements are, the praprictors of the houses and ground asking large sums for tIre sale of their property. The Benchers of the Inner Temple also haveit in contemplation to throw open to the public and uninterrupted view the Temple chu rcli, which is celebrated for its ancient architecture. The dnificxulties in accompisthing this object are, also the purchase of the chambers, and othler bui lings whici surrounrd the churcls, in addiion to0 the value of some chamnbers belonging to a public body.
