As America was just then discover'd and the Spaniards began to bring home the riches of that new world, the prizes the Moors made were foon very confiderable; they also frequently landed on the coaft of Spain, and brought away multitudes of the natives, whom they condemn'd to perpetual flavery. Upon this Charles I. (better known by his imperial title of Charles V.) breathed nothing but deftruction against those corfairs. Tho' he was not fuccefsful in his attempts Tt2 tSec before ad refolution of ditto attempts against them, yet the Spaniards having before taken Oran, and fome other places on the coaft, the Moors, fearing they fhould be entirely conquered, had called in to their affiftance the famous Turkif pirate Barbaroja, who readily affifted them against the Cbrißians; but in fuch a manner as the Saxons formerly affifted the Britons. For having repulfed their enemies, he ufurped the government of Algiers, and treated the people as conquered flaves. His brother Hyradin Barbaroffa soon after obtained the government of Tunis, and a third piratical Turk made himself after of Tripoli. From thefe pirates, and the Turkish renegadoes, a fucceffive tyranny has been ever fince maintained over the Moors of thofe countries.
