(Siened) ALENNDER.'


ALGIERs, MARCH 5.


The present Dey, Houssin, is a good man ne
was one Of the four ministers, master ofthe hoTse
OF as they here call him, 6 Chodia de Cavoiios,"
and, on the death of the late tyrant, was elected
ty the Divan, which has not been the case for
these 90 wears, as the six Pachas before Ally,
we're murdered by the rebellious soldiery. Ihis
election toek place in the most peaceful and or
derly manner, has been attended with no blood
shed, nor ha, any one been banished; on the
other hand, several individuals who were banish-
ished under Omar Pacha, as disturbers Of the
peace. are recalled, and have obtained impor-
tlnt offices. Time must show whether these
persons will take warning from the lessons they
have already received, or viii set on loot new
eonspiracies.


The lst of March, this year, the day of Ally
Pacha's death, will be ever memorable In the an
nals of Algiers. That tyrant had still many ru-
inous projects and crue ties, in contemplation
which were to have been shortly carried into et-
feet. Thus there was found in his pocket book
the following memorandum, written BY himself !:
"The daughter of the English Consul, very
pretty and sensible girl IS years DID, and the SIS
ter Of the Dutch consul, who is handsome and
accomplished, shall be carried off by force out Of
their houses, compelled to change their religion,
and to be the Dey's mistresses. The daughter
Of the Spanish consul who is not so handsome
shall be watched and kept IN reserve. The
English consul, the Spanish consul, and Jew,
named Bensamon, who is under English protec-
ton who has been already compelled to assume
the turban, shall be beheadedn


Aly was not destitute oftalents but he was
sone times like one raving, or like a famished tt
ger or hyana at an earle period of his life ne
had been confined in the mad house in the city.
lfhe had continued TO live, there is every appear
ance that all the foreign consuls, and the few
other Europe ans resident here, would have been
put to death.

Letter from, .2lgiers, 4prll9.


Since the death ofAly, there has been only one
execution here it was that of his brother-in-law
an Arab, of the name Hadgi Mustapha and bis
brother, youth Of u years Of age they were
both tortured for Ia days, in various ways got no
sleep, and Hadei was most severely bastinadoed.
He received, first, 1000 strokes and after that,
or 500 daily After he had received q, 500 strokes
IN this manner he was sent home where he died in
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 il.


We daily see here drunken armed Turks, in
