DREADFUL CIRCI , msTANcr...--On Sunday, the 2.2 d ult. as EOM, rung men were nutting in the woods near Old Fpptr Blue Bell, on the old road to Mahl,tone, they observed a female 11mg wider a tree, apparently asleep, 'and passed on without disturbing her. On the succeeding Friday the young men again went Nutting to the same place, when, to their extreme snipe isc, they saw the female lying in the precise place and attitude in which they hall seen her before; one of them went to her and took her by the hand; she was alive, but in such a situation as excited the must shuddering sensations a hor ror and disigust, mixed with surprise, that • human being could twin any portion of animation, under such conOicated sufferings of want anti wretchedness. She was almost in a state of putrefaction. Inge maggots were feeding on every part of her frame; expowsi to the attack of flies; her nostrils, and even he, mouth were infested by them; behind her cars, between her tinguss, and between her toes, they were crawling in sickening qtyantiti.l; and her clothes were literally rotten from long exposure to the eary;tig and humid atmosphere.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. ALGIERS. A German paper received on Friday, gives, under the head of Vitnita, a letter, (tiled Al;4krs, Aug. 31, stated to he received through France, from an eye wit ness of Lord Exmouth's attack. It contains the follow lowing particulars:— On the arrival of' the, English fleet, a frigate, with a flag of truce, was dispatched, which sent on shore one of its boats. This boat was stopped before the harbour, and the officer was not permitted to go on shore : he was the bearer of a letter, in the English and Turkish lan: ~ll,Lges, which he delivered to the Captain of the Port. ' his dispatch statist, That that Court of London had on the 15th of May, consented through the medium of Lord Exmouth, to wait for six months for the reiolution which the Government of Algiers should take respect ing the abolition of slavery ; that the Dey had, however, at the very time of this negotiation. given the English Admiral the aaturance, that (luring the above period, all Englishmen, and all English pro perty in the whole Algerine territory should he respected, and that all English property .booby sequestrated should h, conscientiously re stored. Notwithstanding this the Court of London had learnt, that the English. and individuals under English protection, had 'seen mass sacred at Ilona and their property plundered. That two English vessels had been detained, and also plundered. for which not the smallest satisfaction had hitherto been given. For these reasons the Court of London had resolved not to wait for the expiration of the term of six months for the abolition of the slavery of the Europeans at Algiers, but, on the contrary, to insist that the aholition shouh! I• immediately consented to, sad ratified by the fdsvernment of Algiers. and that as a proof of the reengnition of this princple. all the Euro pean slaves in their power shoved be immediately delivered on board of the English s';ips. and as a reparation fur the injury done to Eng lish sohjee:s at lions a nd Oran. the sum of 37todswo piasters which had Len paid by the Coon of Naples as ransom, should be re stored. The Dey sent back Lord Exmouth's letter with con tempt, and gave the officer to understand that 11.:: could not give any answer to such proposals, " The English Admiral now gave the squadron the signal tin. battle. The gun bunts first cast anchor pretty near the batteries : the Alp:tines might easily have made them k -cp off (desemparer) ; all the offi cers of the Algerine fleet advised this, and loudly de manded that the batteries should fire, but the Minister of the Marine would not, without having the order of the Dey, who sent word that he would immediately come in person to the shore. Meantime the two 3-deckers, two 74's, and one of 60, got time to take up their position about half-past two o'clock, at 60 fit thorns from the shore, or about half cannon shot. Now the forts began to fire, but too late." After describing the battle, the letter proceeds thus:— " On the 2.fith, the English squadron cast anchor in the Great Bowl, and without cannon-shot. Algiers was in consternation, and the Swedish' Consul was re quested to come to the Dey. When he arrived at the hotel of the Minister of the Marine, he fbund the Dey and the Members of the Government assembled there, who infinmed him of their resolution to submit to all the demands of the English. Meantime a bout, with a flag of truce, came from the English Admiral, bringing a letter to the D; v, Both sides fought desperately. What de cided the laiir was, that the Algerines did not imagine that the English would post themselves within half cannon-shot. To this was added the daring resolu tion of fastening a brimstone shirt to the first Algerine frigate, whi.it instantly took fire, and caused the greatest devastation in the harbour. " The city was not set on fire in any place either by the bombs or the Congreve rockets, as all the houses are of stone or brick without roofs, hut with terraces, and therefore cannot easily catch fire ; but the booths and 361 b. balls ilia, however, immense damage by penetrat ing into many houses and throwing down many walls. " In the country all remained quiet, in anxious expec tation of the result ; all the women and children from the city were dispersed in the mountains. A tumult in an Arabian camp, six leagues front Al T iers, w h ere th e soldiers were dissatisfied that they rec , Ayed no orders to break up, was quickly quelled. The general anger and indignation is directed against the Minister of the Ma rine, who is blamed fire .not having fired upon the English gun-boats and ships of the line as soon as they were within cannon shot, but letting them cast anchor without disturbance. This Minister is fallen into dis grace, and in his roman a certain Salm Flussum appoint ed, who seems to enjoy general confidence and great favour with the , Tt . • " ILI I 1.11.
