The Inclined Water Wheel. iHIS va'uable improvement in the application of water t ower, is now completed aud in suc cessful operation at the Cool Spring Mills in thi Town. The invention was designed to save water in its operation, and thereby rerneciy the difficulty now existing on account of its scarcity. This wheel will perform the same labor with less than half the water required to drive the tub-wheel, and if ap plied in place uf the flutter-wheel the saving must bo still greater. The number of Mills (now in op eration by these wheels) that become scarce of wa ter in the summer, is supposed to average 80 or 90 per cent. 1 1 these Mills can be succf.esi'ully operat ed with even half the water now required, it is ob vious that the supply of water w ill be abundant. The Inclined YVa'er Wheel in its construction can be placed at any elevation to suit the condtiion of the pond, thereby securing a sufficient bead above the wheel, which is important to all mills whore the water is at any time liable to become scarce. In this particular the Inclined water wheel has a decid ed advantage above the Overshot, which requires a sufficient fall and constancy of water, and is also expensive in its construction: Whereas, the In clined Water Wheel can be built at much less ex pense can be successfully applied to any mill or macrunery ttiat is propelled ny water, and will run well in back waier. This Wheel is said to rank in power with a high breast wheel, and can be geared with either cogs or bands, but the latter being con sidered cheaper and more durable, I have adopted them. Having obtained a Patent in December last, I have abstained from giving publicity to the inven tion, or offering to sell any Rights, until others, as well as myself, should become satisfied of its advan tages. I am now ready to dispose of the right to use said invention by counties, diotricrs and States as also single rights. Millwrights, Mill owners, and the public generally are invited to call and ex amine the invention. The machinery, as represented in the plate above, can be made more simple, by which one half of the expense of construction will be di minished, but the amount of water saved will be less. 1 shall have both modes ofconstruction with a statement of materials for each, printed in liand bills, which I design for those who wish further in formation on the subject.

The Regency of ALGIERS, was founded about 151S by two brothers, Homo and Ha- gradin, or Khair Eddin, both of whom were surntned 13arlarossa or Red-Beard. The Christian knights, having warred against the states of Northern Africa, and almost annihi lated the Moorish commerce, Selim and Soli tnau exhoi'.ed their subject fo make reprisals-, aud to annoy their Chiistian foes by com mitting extensive piracies. The call was obeyed wiihout reluctance, nud fha Moham medans, crowded beueath the crescent, pre pared to extend the terror of their name upon the setts. The piratical republic, founded by the fierce chieftains above named, was the strong hold of religious fanaticism and ru- thori'Zff niracy. 'I -hp !i;ir!;s of ihn Cnrsairs swept the seas lit triumph, aud ho Alger::? distinguished themselves above sh-i inhabi tants of other Barbary states, by the fierce per severance with which they pursued their ca reer of crime. A foreign soldiery elected their chief in Algiers, and the Dey, chosen as a general, was the first among his equals and the ruler of the native races. The soldiers were not permiited to many, and had no par ticipation in the Government. The city of Algiers (AI Jezira) was built by Zeiri, an Arab of distinction, in 9-44, and the family of this able man was endowed with hereditary power by one of the Fatimite Caliph.-;. The Zeirites, as they were called, ruled uutii 1148, wheu Roger, king of Sicily, and ihe Moravites, possessed themselves, at different times, of the whole territory of Hassan Ceo Ali. Algiers was an independent soveteign ty after 1270. Ferdinand who fitted out an expedition against the Barbary powers, iu 1509, subdued Algiers, and elected a strong castle on au island which commanded the en trance of the city. Iloruc and Iiagiadin, af ter the death of Ferdinand, were summoned i by the Algei ines, and, appearing with a strong squadron, were received with every demon- i stration of joy. But Horuc caused the emir Selim Enlani to be strangled, aud himself to be proclaimed King in 1518, by the Turks, whose intolerance and cruelty drovo the na tives to seek assistance from the Spaniards, but the fleet of Ihe latter was destroyed by storm." Horuc Bivbarossu was killed before Oran, where the Spanish Governor defeated his troops, and killed 150U l urlts. Ilagradin, his successor, being satisfied of his inability to defend himself against the Christians, iu 1 519 sought the protection of the Sultan Soliman, who accepted his propo sals, made him Pacha, and gave him 10,000 Jauisaries. The Spaniards found their po sition on an island untenable, and, in 1513, it was counerted with the main land by a mole. Chailes V undet took the siege of Al giers, iu the latter part of 1541. It was de fended by Hassan, who had been honored wilh the office of Pacha, after the death of Ilagradin, and who heard with somo alarm lhat Chailes meditated an attack wnh 200 sail and 20,000 men. The ships and camp of the Christians were destroyed by storms of uncommon violence, the destructive effects of which were followed by the ravages of earth quakes. Charles lost his cannon, military stores, and baggage, and was compelled to abandon some of his scattered troops, while 15 ships of war, 140 transports, hik! 8000 men perished in the storm. This success in spired the Moors with the liveliest joy, but they attiibo'ed it entirely to the pious exer tions of Sid-Atica, a Maraboot, who employ ed himself diligently in beating the sea wilh his stick, until the waves lost ali patience, and rising iu a body, destroyed the Christian fleet. The worthy old gentleman was buried with great solemnity, and his bones lest beueath a j monument erected by his countrymen. They are said to be gifted with the magic power of: his stick, and, employed upon the waves with proper emphasis, capable of raising the wind Mo an incredible extent. Antiquity furnishes a belief in the efficacy of chastising the ters, for Xerxes, enraged fit ths turbu'.CDce of the Grecian waves, caused them to be whipped with rods. . la 17U3, the S'piininrris unsuccessfully re newed the war with Algiers, Tha". Algerinos successfully repelled the f-bgliih, French.,; and Dutch, the firet of whom ; jnnde a treaty ' with Algiers, whose prida hvy humbled io 1316. The jenr before, two United States', frigates bad captured a pindicni fiignte and brio; of war, belonging !' the Algerines, aud cou.pelled tnem not only to renoiiuce their cliim to nil tribute, bttt to make indemuificaV tioa for the losses which we hud experienced from their piracies. In 1S17, the Algerinetf' , j pentitrated the ?forih Sea, ond theie, ith i ' 5 atiaac jiy, tcipiurtu s-:.iip wijicm giu not nejong t trinutary powers, or to mosa who were exempted from their depredations' by trerty. Prisoners taken by these Corsairs were treated with the greatest severity, aud only pernii ted to be ransomed at enormous prices. Towards the iaiier part of theif ca reer, the pirates ptolessed to consider Cap tives not in the light of slaves, but os prison ers of war. Their tieatment, however, iu stend of being ameliorated, was more harh than ever, and the Corsairs, although they rct spected ihe fi;igs uf American and other strong power, hi violation oftheir treaties, warred" wiih the ships of weaker states, and enforced the supei iority of might over right. The jeal ousy of the European States for a long time favored the encroachments of lbs Algerines until the French prepared for a conflict- with ' stem decision. One f the last events in the reign of Charles X, was the sofiie prostration of the power of Algiers. The Dey, wilh bis persouat trenures, and women, was permitted to ret it-?, and selected Italy ns a retreat. Thtj French secured ;heir conquest, and establish- a government upon their own pi iuciplei.,. . Dining the prosper i;y of Algiers, a sliuggla was kept up with tha Sublime Poite about the appointment of the deys, and the Sulfas finally relinquished the claim of choosing them, and retained but a nominal authority over Algiers. The dey. whenever they dis pleased the ferocious soldiery they aiToeted JloV, rule, were deposed and put b death, .'J h lives of these men were proverbially t-!Hori, Imt we admit an exception in ibe person of Mo hammed III who died in 1791, after a reign of 23 years, at the age of 93.
