j A correspondent in our last page
complains, and very justly too, of
the unfitness of the house in this
city appropriated for the residence
of the Governor. Should the Le
gislature think proper to act on this
subject, the present Government
House (from it3 advantageous si
tuation for trade) would command
a price that would almost build a
good House in an eligible situation.
Such a one a might be found on
the public lands adjoining the city,
about 500 acres of which at pre
sent lie waste', and '13 of no use to
anv one. A small portion of it
would, in our opinion, be very well
appropriaVid for this purpose.

inadequacy 01 the Governor ox
lary, we leave it to our readers to
judge hovrj.tstiy. It is the same
now, that it was when the Gover

now he must constantly reside in

purchase every necessary of life at
marker. These situations are
greatly diiTereut, and it would seem
only reasonable, that the Legisla

The following letters, the con-.
tents of which are derived from a
correct source, exhibit, in livelv
i - lors, the deplorable state of the
Algerine nation. Although we
have so lately experienced the ef.

we cannot avoid commiserating
the abject and dreadful condition
of a nation consigned by despotism
to the lowest pitch of misery.
Extract of a Liter from. Algiers, da
ted JuLj 2Bth, 1305. , ' "
' In my last I meniioned the mur
der of the great Jew Busnach by a
Turkish soldie r in this city the 28th
ult. and the next day thy soldiery
rose nd killed every Jew ihey met
with and plundered their houses.
from that day to this the city has
been in a perfect state of rebellion
the soldiers setting the Dey and all
authority at defiance. To add to
this state of wretchedness, the whole
country cf Moors, (Fremesen to
jConstaniine" have risen up in arnu,
rigamsl the Turks, being determined
to shake o!f their voke.
" The city of Fremesen has long
dncebten taken by the Moorish ar-
ny, and accounts state that Oran
cannot hold out much longer, being
ut 01 provisions, and deprived of the
necessary supply of water. Eveiy
essel that goes in there the Dey de-
1 M
tains, lo be reaoy to lake ott the
f arks when they could hold out no
ioni'er.
" The city of Algiers has given O-
ran a partial rebel at times-with
grain but tan do no more for the
present, us the want of that article
here i3 the source cf the greatest
troubles. Nothing of the provision
kind can be had from the neighbor
hood of the city of Algiers, as tho
Moors are all in arms waiting tho
fate of Oran ; after which, it is be
yond doubt, they will urn. their
whole force to this place ; therefore
all the grain that can be found near,
the city i conveyed in by the order
of the Dey. The Turkish soldiers .
to a man left the barracks the 25th
inst. and marched cut cf the town
contrary to the orders of the Dey
where they held a secret con ferenca
of three hours and then returned to
town again.
' On the 27th instant the soldiers
as before held another conference
the result is unknown but the Dey,
Divan, Sec. are in the greatest alarm
for their own safety, and are con
stantly in session in the palace. -
