 t Ezfractj from another Letter of same date. Il You will have learned from the pa

 peFs of this city, that Algiers was ta- ken by the French on the 18th June af- ter most sanguinary attack. The { bombardment lasted thirty hours; the city, reduced to ashes, was occupied by the French, who, however, lost 1000 men before getting possession of it--but the loss of the enemy was double that : number. The Dey, driven to his last : entrenchments, demanded to capitulate. The articles of equalization were settled

 by the French general, and it is said l that the Aigerines are for the future to be tributary to France and to pay thir- , ty millions of francs every year, the ex-

 penses of the war, &c., and the French to occupy fortress to be selected by ! themselves. This part of the news re. 7 quires confirmation.
