ALGIERS, March 27.
On the morning of the ißth,
the Dey being alone half a league
from the town, in the midst of
the new fortifications which he
is conftrudling, was suddenly af
fai'led by four Turks well armed.
After difeharging two pistols at
him, the afiaffins fell upon him
sword in hand and gave him ten
wounds. The keepers of the
works immediately ran up and
massacred two of the afiaffins
upon the ipot; the two others
contrived to escape, The Dey
wls at firft laid in his garden not
far from the place where the as
sassination was attempted, and
the following day He had (Length
enough to bear being carried to
his palace. For feveraldays he
fuffered the mod violent tor
tures i but to-day it is laid that
not one of his wounds are mor
tal. He has two fingers of the
left hand cut off, and by the
greatest good luck, the pistol
bullets were only prevented en
tering his bread, by (triking up
on a purse full of money. This
event has caused a great fermen
tation in the town j one of the
two affaffms who had fled, was
arrested on the 19th, and imme
diately ftrangied; the soldiers
of the barracks (to whose clals
the four murderers belonged)
lad at firft manifefted an inten
tion to deliver him ; but were
ciffuaded from their design ei
ther by prayers or menaces.—
As they seldom take the trouble
here to enquire into the causes
offuch attempts, it is not known
whether this crime be the effedt
of any great plot. What is cer
tain is, that the extraordinary
dearnels of provifrons excites a
general difeontent, and that the
Dey, instead of taking any steps
to appease the murmurs, leems
to inlult the public misery by
his pompous manner of living.
Near eight hundred men, ali
Mahometans, of the interior,
are daily employed at the works
of the fortifications, and in the
embeliiftimenc of his country
homes. Hitherto the Dey has
despised the representations of
his mimfters and favor. tes, who
have endeavoud to persuade

til the fcarcicy be at an end, and
not to expose himfelf abroad
without a guard. There arriv

LATE FOREIGN INTELLI
GENCE.
BOSTON, luly 17.
By the (hip Beividere, captain
Schenk, arrived here yesterday
in 43 days from Liverpool, we
have received files of rhe Lon

any addition of consequence to
our former ft >ck of intelligence.
London, May 25.
The following information of
the state of the enemy’s flotilla,
was given by an officer of ash p
taken by the Bold gun-boat, and
brought in here—he fays there
is about 3000 of their craft a-
Bologne, 800 of which are arm
ed, the others are merely trans
ports for troops, (lores, dec
Tnere are nearly 1000 at Etfa
bles, and about 600 at V me
reaux, and 400 at Dunkirk,
Oftend and Calais. The troops
are in small camps, about 3000
at Bologne, the fame number a
bout Calais, Vhmereaux, Etfa
bles, and fome other camps a
little inland, in all about 50,000
men. He seems very confi
dent that the attempt will be mad*
this summer; he fays the* com
bined fleet, 60 fail of the line,
will fight our fleet; (Balayer la
Manche) while che large frigates
will come up the channel to con
voy the flotilla over, the troops
are dated to be very eager to
come, and entertain the moft
sanguine hopes of success, they

the appearance of rhe (hips to
set them free, and g eat reliance
is placed on the genius of Bona

The foreign intelligence of
the week is of trivial import
ance. Bonaparte is in Italy, a
firmed little by the menaces of
Russia j indeed, his fears from
that quarter are about the farm
tone with our hopes, which
have funk a full odtave within
a few weeks. He knows ther*
is little fear from paper proceed
ings, and this is the only artil -
lery which the cabinet of Peters
burgh is likely ro employ.
There is, however, a com
plete breach between Sweden
and Pi uffia ; the former power
is supposed to be spirited up b
Russia, and the latter L w* 1

A letter received yesterday
from Cork, dates, that that ci

alarm, in conftquence of an ex
press having arrived there with
orders for every armed vessel
to put to sea with the greatest
expedition and (ail to the weft
ward—from which it was infer*
red that the enemy had been
seen in considerable force in
that qua: ter.

Th’- more we reflect upon
the delions of the French upoi
which the curious intercepted
correspondence lately publv(ht<
has thrown such strong light,
the more we are convinced that
an attack upon our Indian fettle
ments ; is one of their great ob
je&s. Some private letters re
ceived within a day or two from
France, (Lengthen our opinion.
They state in poflitive terms,
that in a certain latitude, the
combined fleets were toieparate
and that (even fail of the line
were, to be detached to the East
indies, with 5000 troops, on
board.

A letter* from Paris, dated
May 18, fays —“ I suppose you
have heard that many cf the U

ha? resigned his commiflion in
the Irilh Legation, and is going
there ; Emmitt is already there j
Sampson, the barrister, 6c Swee

It is reported, that fome

Rumors of peace. —The Flam
burg mail of the 21st arrived

Novofilzof to Bonaparte has for

neral tranquility, and that the
conditions with which he is
charged, are to be proposed on
the joint part of Russia and Great
Bricain —Should the emperor
Napoleon be in Italy on rhe ar-.

Paris, it is afferttd that he will
proceed to Italy.
Dejenjive operations . —All the
