TH..ALGRFU\ES. There are its Algiers above sixteen hundred slaves, and every year more than one hundred die Oi anger and sorrow, or from fatigue and repealed blows. Shut up every n'sght in the Bagnu, the naked earth IS their bed. fit pieces to the wind and rain. They are calied ag&in at the dawn of day,and hurried with heavy blows to their (hrly hard labours, which • last till evening. Some amo.igst them are employed in the arsenal, and for the sooiiesi I. transgression they are unmercifully beaten, even to the infliction of five hundred strokes i of the bastinado. Others are rondemnt'd -ike J beasts to drag or carry huge stones from the I mountains, and often fail and are buried under j those ample rums. I have seen some of there j return to the town mutilated aiid ret-kin6, ivit* I blood: I have seen them f<tll on the road <••,<] j be obliged, like the vilest brute, to rU-p under j tiie infliction of heavy and repeated blows, J whilst others would suffer the treatment and S remain prostrate and inseusihie, waiting and wishing for death. The nourishment of these- wielchfS consists of two ioaves ot bread iiithe 1 morning and one in the evenlllg-a bread as i as charcoal, and hitter as poison. i t- y I are all .miserable, without nope or co-lifol.t.- They are despised, insulted, and ill treated fc-y toe Moorish and Turkish rabble Without ministers or the exercises of religion, these i poor abandoned wrehhesare deprived even of j religious emisoiations. There is only one poor priest paid by Spain, who has ihe care of I a small hospital., and attends to the burying of Christians. Some years ago, before Spam j had bo ight the small cemetery, the poor de ceased Christ on slaves were denied the sacred rles oi sepuiiure and remained in the open air, a horrid food for the dogs.-Ulllortllllalely the nt.,som is rendered extremely dilliculi on account of the great sums they demand. The Bef asked fifteen hundred piastres for every S'iciliall: the predominant passion of these barbarians is avarice and ambition. The ISev and some other families are possessed of im- mense riches. Justice with them is summary, harsh and arbitrary every thing is corrupted and bought with gold. The Algerines are cunning and wicked. To know how to de- ceive and avoid deception is what forms their ,reat I great political study, and they boast of i).- The present Key, Hadgy-Aiy-Pascir, is the most cruel and ferocious of any that Algiers hasever had. He is in the sixth year ol his reign, and owes this long duration to his ex- treme vigilance aud cruelty. II is governmenl is made up of injustice, violence, and despo. tisiri- There is iiid,-ed a regency in Algiers, composed of several ministers and a Divan of: old Agas, but both these bodies are subservi- ent to the impe-rious will of the tyrant, or are despised by him. Whenever he shows him- self to the public, numerous guards surround him on every side, and the people not daring to look at his face, fail prostratetothegrounii, and exclaim ^amelech, as he passes. This fet- low boasts that his kingdom is a cave of roh, bers He once complained that the English had taken a small vessel belonging to him. and on t Ii at occaSIOn he observed io them, It is wrong in you to do igi); if we do it it, is be cause we are robbers, and I am at the htad of them.

-I,- A CURIOUS ANECDOTE RELATIVE TO Oi. t V lilt CROMWELL. FROM LORD (IfiRERV S STATE PAPERS. In the year 1647, Oliver entered into a league, offensive and defensive, wilh France against Spain, in which lie wotiid not allow the trench Killg to call himself King of France, but only of the French, and look 10 himself the titit: of protector, not of England, Scot land, and Ireland alone, but of France also. And in the instrument of the treaty, he insisted that his, the Protector's name, should be juil before that of the French Monarch; audit was so accordingly, in short, 1 know of no Prince that bore his character so high as Oil ver did in his treaties with crowned heads. In the same year, 1657, during the time of the heats about Oliver's acceptance of the Crown and title of King, which was proposed to him by the Parliament, there was a private negotiation for a marriage, bel ween the Pro lector's youngest daughter, Frances, and King Charles 11. then in exile, and destitute of all hopes of recovering his kingdom It was con- certed by the Lord Broghtll, afterwards i arI of Orrery, who was not only very IlIgh in Cromwell's confidence, but actually bad ad- dress enough to procure tiieyoung King's con- sent to such a treaty, and received his Majes- Iy's orders to do whatever lay in his power towards promoting it. Thus, having the King's leave, he took a fit opportunity to open the affair to Cromwell, which he did in the following manner: He first acquainted Crom- well's wife and daughter with his design, and then caused the rumour of it to be spread abroad in the town, Coming out of the city abroad in the town. Coming out of the city one day, and going to Cromwell, the Protec-! tor, as tliey were alone, asked him where he had been ? Lord Broghili answered, in the city, Cromwell asked, what news there? the former replied, very strange news. The Pro- tedor cllrnesdy requiring what? In Lordship detained him by repeating, il was strange news, and smiling at the same lime. Cromwell, by c I Oy ins delay, hecamc the more earnest to know what it was: At last Lord Brogniil repliedf perfiaps he woujd he otrelJùed to hear i(.- Cromwell, being Iwallle to endure any longer delay, assured him he would not; and there- fore conjured him So disclose the thing imme- diately. Upon that, his Lordship in a jocular way, t-ild him, all the news in the -city was, ■that he w;<s going fo marry his daughter trances to the King, who was to be restored upon conditions. Cromwell then,will, a merry countenance, asked hun, and what do the fools think of it ?" in v Lord replied, all liked thought it the wisest thing lie could do, if he could accomplish il. The Protector made a stand and looking stedfasll-v in my Lord Brogiiiii's face, asked him, and d<> you believe so to ?" [lis Lordship seeing him a little moved, said, he did believe it was ihe best thmg he could do 10 st,(-tii-e Cromweli then walked up and down the room, with his liiiii, III i thought.. ¡nf 1iI<!I:nei At length, he asked Lord Brog- htll, what reason lie had to be of that belief? His Lordship represented to him, how lilMe he could conifde in those of his own party, who were, ou every occasion, subject to murmur and repine; how unlikeh it was for him to continue long in that grandeur; the very same persons who set him ill), willing to pull inm down -i)["d, oil illi. other hand, the King, in his great exigencies, would be ready enough to hearken to any proposi;ions, rather than live ni exile so Unit the Protector might makeevery thing ort his own terms with him, Î and f>e General of ali the lorces daring life; tha« the loyal patty would readi y join with hun in the work; and if his daughter had children by the KU-.g, which jvas likely etiough, he wo»<<! by that iiK-ms be endeared to the King, a.id Country, and would have such in 1(-res! it, tii,, Cr,,wii, iiiat iit)i)(,kly cotild ever ;itte <».it any ihiug against him, having a King his son-in-law, a Priuceof VV;.ies his grandson, and She whoie power of Ihe nation in his own hands; by ail which, his greatness would be for evei esiablished where a*, if he neglected j these menus, he could not expect to iransmi; 2 ins greatness to his next heir, and perhaps ] would hardly be able So preserve it durm<> ins ] own life. Cromwell gave great at I en! ion to J these reasons; but, walking two or threelnrns, ] and pondering within himself, he told Lord Uroghil!, tiie King- would never forgive ins father's blood. His Lordship desired him to employ somebody to sound the Kiiiii fit this matter, to see how lie would take if, and offer- ed hisnsiH to mediate in it for him; adding, that the Protector was one out of many that were concerned in the late King's death, but would be alone in the merit ot restoring him; I but Cromwell would not consent, and again repeated, Charles Stuarl cannot, and will not, forgive (,I' iiiq fittier besides, he is so damnably debauched, he wttli undo us fill." The Protector theo left Lord Broghiii, who durst not lell him he had already dealt with his Majesty in that affair. Upon lhi, my Lord withdrew and meeting CiomwellV wile and daughter, they enquired how lie had succeeded; of which bavin given thenl an account, he added, Kiev must try their interest in him but hone could ever prevail, guiif lay so heavy upon him, that he thought there could be no reconciliation. So this business broke off. This Anecdote is not mentioned by the great EirJ of Clarendon; who, for the honour of the King his master, might be induced to pass it over in silence but it is an indisputable fact; being mentioned not only by Bishop liurnelt, who had it from Lord Brogiiiii's own moutn but it is very circumstantially related by Ins Lordship's chaplain, Mr. Morrice, in the coiieclioa ol the Karl of Orrery's state papers, from which two authorities I have co npiled the above account.—The daughterof the Pro- tector was afterwards married to live Hon Rt. Rich, son of Lord ii^ch, and grandson to the Ea r 1 of Wa r w i c k W, M.

MISCELLANEOUS. Practice in Chancery.—A new rule hasbeen laid down by the Lord Chancellor, viz, it ii when any cause is called on tor hearmff, Ihf? King's Counsel be absent, or engaged else- where, the senio«r counsel in the cause, with out the bar, mi«l open and state the case and in default of such senior acting, the junior so to do and if the junior counsel do not pro. ceed, he solicitor is to act and on failure or ornisftioil olthe solicitor to proceed, the caiise to be lruck Ollt of the paper." This rnle was acted upon last week for the first time, in a casein which Sir S. Homiliy, leading counsel for plaintiff, was absent. Horrid .Mllrder.-Sa!lIrday se'nnight; being the statute fair of East Retford, for the hiring of servants, Mr, Wells, farmer, of the village of Clarborough, Nottinghamshire, together with his family and servants, went thither, leaving a boy of ten years of age, of the name of James iieH, who, Wt ullderstand, was his nephew, to take care of the house, which stands about a quarter of a mile from any other: he had also ordered a labouring man to stay with the boy, but the man neglecled so to do. A villain of the na.ae of Hempslock, who had lately lived servant at the bouse, it appears took advantae of the absence of the hiiutly, Io rob the house. On his entrance, however, he tound the boy, whose head he nearly severed from his body, and cast him under the ifre-grate. He then brojieopen the desk, from which he took two one pound notes, to the late banking-house of Pocklington and Dickenson, of Retford, and afterwards made his way for the statutes; but oil the road he met a peisou to whom heshew- ed the notes, tor the purpose of knowing their value: when he was informed that they were bad ones, audio what hank, they had formerly belonged lie, however, had the address to induce a hawker of stockings to change theiii both at the stkitites, oil condition of taking I several flails of hose. These circumstances fortunately led to a detection of the murderer, after the horrid deed was discovered; and, when brought to prison, blood was foutid upon his smock-frock and waistcoat. He was com- mitted to Nottingham county gaol, on Tue.. day se'auight, for trial. A reward of 501. is offered for the appre- hension of Wm.

In 1807 the Duke of Anhalt Dessau treated tile Emperor Napoleon, who had just over- thrown the harriers of German independence, with a brilliant hunting party, at which seve- ral of the Duke's dogs were so foitlunale as to obtain the highest approbation of the great Emperor. As a natural consequence, the Duke did not fail to present thm to the slIblime protector of the Confederation of the Rhine. They were accordingly conducted by short joiiruies, at the Emperor's expence, to Paris, ilie rendezvous of all-tbat was great, «nd good and fair!

The heroine is a well-looking woman, twenty-two years of age, of a genteel appearance, and she states her name to be Paterson, and that she was born in England her mother was the daughter of a Mr. Aspleon, a-merchant and ship-owner, who resided about sixteen or eighteen years ago in the vicinity of Watling street. Her father, who was a Swede, left his native country to serve in the British navy. He sailed some years (according to her own statement) under the orders or Admiral Lovett, and during llus period became acquainted with her mother When she was about four years old, her father went with his family into Swe den, and exchanged the naval for a Itlllitary life. When theCrown Prince joined the cause of the Allies against Fuance. he was a captain of hussars, in which he had alsolwo sons: his I only daughter (the person in question) being influenced by the great affection she bore her I father and brothers, as well as a sincere devo tion to the cause of her country, was resolved, to follow the fortunes other family.
