Marseilles, June JOtn, tO tne EultOr Ot tne N York Daily Advertiser, throws discredit on the rumors circulated few days ago.

 "The public attention here is entirely en- crossed by the expedition to AlgieFs. The contest there has been severe, and the French loss has been great-repOrt says between 8 and AooO men, But the army has secured ifs fooihold on the soil. This believe to be one half of the battle; and without the cOU- mission of some great thunder, AIgiers must fall, though the resistance will be desperate and sanguinary. saw the Dey, not long since, and had very interesting conversation with him. He was perfectly informed Of the amount and species of force tue French were bringing against him, and was resolved to op. pose them at all points. He is liOn-hearted old gentleman: and you may rely on tt: ne will make good his assertiOns-b"t It VIII nc all in vain The science of the French must, I should think. crush to pieces all the rude and undisciplined force he can bring into the field; and though AIgers itself may, and probably wiI!, stand siege, it will be of short duration in my opinion" ..

 The Philadelphia United States Gazette contains the following paragraph: .

 A gentleman of this city has received q letter from relative in France, dated a7tk June, which contains some particulars of the French invading army, near Algers. N would seem that the French papers have not given an exact account of events as they have occurred. The invaders have experienced much annoyance from the Arabs, and on one occasion were warmly attacked by the child- ren of the desert. The French put them tO flight, but unfortunately pursued their victory too far, and had one regiment entirely cut off. On another occasion, in a skirmish at night. two French regiments mistonk each other for Arabs' and most awful carnage ensued and such has been the destruction of life in the French army, that the Commanding General has been compelled to order his men to throw up entrenchments. and patiently await the arrival of relnlOrcements from France. This loss of time in that climate, may prove fataI to the remainder of the army"

 Outrageous Assassination. On Thursday last, on the coast about three leagues from the, city. the owner of flat was arrested by a planter in company with his son and several other persons, on pretence of having sold whiskey to some slaves. He demanded the reason of his arrest, and their authority for so doing. which they refused to comply with. He of course did not feel himself bound tO obey such coercive proceedings, and accord. ingly. proceeded on with his boat, when one of'the party levslled fowling piece at him, and lodged the contents in the head of the unfortunate boattnan, of which he instantly expired. The body was brought to town, and after an inquest had been held, was in- tered. The assassin was allowed to escape.

 From New- Orls0ns.-On tho night of the lst inst. a fire broke out in New Orleans. in the extensive Cotton ware house of Mr. Fer. ret, sen, and scarcely had the fire bell sound- ed the alarm before the whole was discovered to be enveloped in flames, from one corner of the street to the 0tf.er simultaneously These buildings were situated in the Faux bourg St. Mary, forming a square, bounded by Carondelet, Perdido, Barone and Union streets, built of brick, in part of which two thousand bales of cotton were entirely c0n- sumed. It is computed that about $500 bales of Cotton were in the warehouses and yard at the time the fire took place. The fire, from the rapid manncr in which tt was com municated, and the fact of the dwelling, al- though made of combustible materials heinz saved, leave no doubt hut that 1t was the evil doings of some malicious incendiary. The destruction ot property may be estimated at about SlS0, ,000-2OOO bales Cotton at S8O.- 900. and the premises at $50, 1000. We did not learn whether the whole was insured or not.-Adv.

Another coffin was obtained by the unhappy parents, in which the body of The little girl was dcsposited. The doctor and many other persons had examined her; all pulsatiOn had ceased, the cheeks were cold and livid. and in fact, every sign of life had departed; hut to their astonishment, as they were watching beside the coffin, the body was seen to move, and the child arose and called for her mother! The doctor was again called for, who, by giving her an eme,ic caus- ed her to throw up great quantity of ph!egm. She is now alive and well.
