Scene
Scene changes to the vicinity of the city of Algiers — View of the city — the sea, and a large broken rock of stone.

Act II.
Scene
SCENE. — The ocean — a ship sailing — a gun is fired — American ship hoists the United States flag — an Algerine corsair approaches under Hamburg colours — fires another gun — hoists the bloody flag, and puts out a boat, which rows to the ship — they attempt to board, but are for some time repulsed by the Americans — among them States Woodberry appears; he strikes down two or three of the pirates: they at length board the ship, knock down the sailors, and some they strip of their jackets — several go below and presently return with Ellinor and Margaret , who kneel on the deck, imploring to remain on board the ship; mean time States is hand-cuffed with a few others, and left on board — while Ellinor and Margaret are forced into the boat. Algerines hoist the crescent on board their prise, leaving some of the pirates to keep possession — the rest with the American sailors row to the corsair, and as soon as taken on board the vesse's sail off. — (Scene closes.)

Achmet stands in fixed attention — Selima observing his countenance. The scene closes.
Scene
Scene changes to the street, in which is seen a great concourse of Turks and Moors, assembling round the principal marabout or priest, asking a blessing. — States, St. Julien and Ellinor , advance with Hassan and other soldiers; some of whom commence a riot by ill-treating the Moors. Hassan seizes Ellinor in his arms. — St. Julien tries to prevent him, but is unable, through weakness. — States snatches a scimitar from a soldier, and obliges Hassan to release Ellinor; he falls to the ground from the wound States gives. — The people assemble round Hassan , while some of the Turkish soldiers endeavour to secure St. Julien and States. The door of the British consul's house is suddenly thrown open, St. Julien and Ellinor make their way in, defended by States — who enters after them, the door closes; and the scene changes to the back country in Carolina — discovers the inside of a log house, belonging to old Homespun ; who sits in front. A great many young people assembled dancing the Dutch hip se saw; a rude imitation of the waltz; but instead of the graceful movements with which the dance begins, the rustic couples clasp each others fingers as firmly as they can; then spin round many times together, as fast as possible; again let go hands, then begin to foot it violently, doing many strange steps, then again clasp hands — and turn round as at first — others succeed the couples.
(Dances cease.)
