The .Moniteur of Wednesday contains two ordinances dated so far
back as the 1st instant, which arrange the distribution of authority be- tween the civil and military authorities of Algiers. The appointment of Savary as military governor is not yet announced, although it is un- derstood to be resolved on. The civil governor is a M. Pinchen, who long held an appointment at St. Domingo. Savary is to have 20,000 men, and his first attempt will be against the Bey of Constantine, whom Clausel alarmed but did not subdue. It is said the Duke d'Orleans will have a command under him.
The state of Switzerland is still perturbed. The Movement and Anti-Movement parties are not in direct collision, but every thing in- dicates that unless the latter are content to receive some impulse from the former, there may be both collision and danger.
