Algerine velfels delllned to cruize againll
the Spanifli Ihips, which nation MfJJleurs
Arabs appear to be not well pleased with
owing to a non-compliancc with the cuf.
tomary tribute. Our accounts Hate that
they have landed between Carthagena and
Alicante, and plundered the Scattered
houses with a view of obtaining such pro
visions as the hurry of their departure pre
vented them from procuring; it is thus
Muffelmen have declared war and com

It is impolitic to conjedure the reason
why all the civilized nations on the conti

tributary to thofc barbarians, the Tunili
ins and Algerines, when the forces of any
one of them, if properly conduced, is
far more than fufficient to completely pu

ETRURIA and SWITZERLAND.
The Ring of Etruria seems to have
given some offence to France. The Mo
aiteur quotes without censuring it an ar
ticle from another paper, which declares,
that civilization in Tuscany has gone
back several centuries, that the king has
given himfelf up entirely to the Priells—
that the whole Hate has been surrendered
to the power of the church, that the Pope,
in the fa ne manner as his predeceflbrs,
may now depose the new Louis at pika-
fwerve from the obedience
ljps vowed to the holy fee; and that
Tufcanv, once the cradle of the arts, is
now likely to become their tomb, if the
fcreatorof the State Buonaparte, does not

•* John R. Livihgfton bought a veflel
and sent home the French prisoners at the
earned felicitation of Pichon, The bills
which he carried for the amount of this
cxpence were dishonored in France. When
the minister, his brother, had arrived
here, he did all that public duty or pri
vate regard could prompt, to obtain a fer
tleinent of the demand, and payment of
the sum, with intcreft and damages. As
a personal favor to the Chancellor, he fuc
cecded in obtaining an acknowlegement of
the original sum, without interest or da
mages, and payments by draughts on the
departments, which are--a (bit of antic**
pation of the taxes, and by certain d:f
counis will be turned into ca(h. When
you confider the nature of the demand,

The treaty lately held with the Seneca
Indians, for the extinguilhment of their
claim to a small tra«sl of land at Black-
Rock, on Lake Erie, for the cite of a
fort, has failed of success. The principal .
reason assigned by the Indians, for their
refufal to make this grant, was, that the
Great Spirit is angry with them for
felling their lands to the white people ;
and that he has threatened them with
fore calamities, if they do not refrain
therefrom in future. The real cause how
ever, of failure of the Treaty is attributed
to another source: The influence which
