CHRONICLE. 



succeeded in doing beyond my 

 most sanguine expectations, and 

 carried the vessel, by towing 

 with boats (the fore-topsail being 

 only left without its halyards), 

 into a place where she now lies 

 in perfect safety. It is my in- 

 tention to wait a favourable 

 opportunity of carrying the vessel 

 to this place,'* 



In the Gibraltar Chronicle are 

 the following particulars respect- 

 ing the death of the late Dey of 

 Algiers : — When the Janissaries 

 surrounded the Palace of the 

 Dey, he called to his assistance 

 the officers of his artillery and 

 navy, but they declined inter- 

 fering. The Dey then demanded 

 of the Janissaries what they 

 wanted ? They replied, " an in- 

 dividual from within." Anxious 

 to preserve his life by any sacri- 

 fice, he offered to double the pay 

 of the whole corps, but this was 

 rejected, and his person loudly 

 called for. His firmness now 

 forsook him, and he had recourse 

 to poison ; its operation, how- 

 ever, was not sufficiently quick, 

 and the Janissaries entered, seized 

 and bound him, and conducted 

 him to the spot appropriated for 

 public executions, where they 

 strangled him : they then quickly 

 returned to their homes : all this 

 passed in about an hour from 

 their first assembling. The pub- 

 lic opinion was much in favour of 

 the new Dey, AH Cogia. The 

 Ministers of his predecessor have 

 been banished into the interior, 

 and their property confiscated.
