ALGIERS, MARCH 5.  " The present Dey, Messrs, is a good than. He was one of the four Ministers—Master of the Horse, or as they here call him, God ..a de Calalles—and on the death of the late Tyrant, was elected by the Di.,an, which has not beta the case for these twenty years, as the six Pachas before ALT were murdered by the rebellious soldiery. TX* election, which took place in the moat peaceful and ordelily manner, has been attended with no blimdahel, nor has any one been banished; on the other hand, se oral individuals who were banished under (NAIL PACHA, as disturbers of the peace, are recalled, and have obtained important onices. Time must 'hew whether these persons will take warning from the lesson they have already received, or will set on foot new conspiracies. The Ist of March this year, the day of Air PACHA'S death, will be ever memorable in the annals of Algiers. That Tyrant had still many ruinous projects and cruelties in contemplation, which were to have been shortly carried into effect. Thus there was found in his rocket-book the fallowing Memorandum, Written by himself: The daughter of the English Consul, a very pretty and sensible girl, 15 years old, and the sister of the Dutch Consul, who is handsome and accomplished, shall be carried by force out of their houses, compelled to change their religion, and to be the Dan's mistresses.. The slaughter of the Spanish Comet, who is not so handsome, shall be watched, and kept in reserve. The English Consul, the Spanish Consul, and a Jew, named DINSAXON, who is under English protection, who had been already compelled to assume the turban, shall be beheaded.'  "The day for the execution of this horrid plan was not yet fixed. The Der seemed to waver in his mind, and disposed to wait, till he-saw whether the Consuls would submit to have their houses (which according to the treaties are to be considered as harems) broken into and plundered, or whether they would make any resistance; in this last case they were to be cut to pieces. lie saw clearly that such cruelties would not pais without notice, and said often iThe Christians will probably come and bombard me a little, but I shall find means to make my peace.' " Atv was not destitute of talents; but he was some time like one raving, or like a famished tiger or hyzna : at an earlier period of his !itc, he had been confined in the mad-house in the city. If be had continued to live, there is every appearance that all the foreign Consuls, and the few other Europeans resident here, would have been put to death. The plague still carries off between 50 And 60 persons daily." " Arrr. n,—Since the death of Air' there has been only one execution here-; it was that of his brother-in-law, an Arab, of the name of /lams Mt'STATIM, and his brother, ayouth of 15 years of age ; they were both tortured for 14 days, in various ways, got no sleep, and !Isms was most severely bastinadoed. Me received, hest, 1,000 strokes, and after that, four or 500 daily. After be had received 4,500 in strokes, in this manner, he was sent home, where he died two days after, and his brother, who was treated in the same manner, shortly after. The 'Turks feared this family very much, and have therefore extirpated it. " We daily sec here drunken armed Turks, in troops of six or twelve men, roving about the city and the environs to plunder the poor Arabs who are attacked by the plague. " The }issue has not increased here, but it has spread towards the west, and extended to the two large towns of Oran and Mascara. The whole territory of Algiers suffers under this dreadful disease; there are plenty of people to be seen in the streets. Upon a little excursion which 1 made on horseback, I met with an incredible number of graves, both on the highways and in the fields. In two country houses, next mine, 17 persons have died, and only three remain alive.  " It in uncertain whether the Algerine Corsairs will go to sea or not ; pcorle say, no ; however, the papers requisite for a cruize have been &auricled of the Consuls.  " How little reliance can be placed on Algerine friendship appears from an efEcial notice just published, according to which the Gevernnvnt has seized upon a Genoese brig that was lying ie the harbour here, notwithstanding all the remonstrances of the Sa einian Vt•-c-Consul. This brig has been sent to Alesandrh, wish pilgrim, who are going to Mecca."
