From Gibraltar —The ship American
Hero, capt. Holliday , arrived at this port
on Saturday evening, from ivica, and 22
days from Gibraltar.
The U. S ship Peacock, capt Brown,
and brig Spark, capt. Peiry, arrived at
Gibraltar 261 h June, from Leghorn and
Algiers; and after taking in provisions,
sailed again on the 28ib, to join Commo
dore Bambridge, at Messina. Captains
Brown and Perry touched at Algiers on
the 16th of June, and were informed by
by Mr. Shaler, the American Consul, that
a squadron, consisting of two frigates, 3
cor veils, and a gun brig, had sailed three
weeks previous on a distant expedition.—
The day after they sailed Mr. Shaler
called on the Dey, and requested to be ad
vised of their object: die Dey, however,
declined the information, but gave him
every assurance of their views being per
fectly friendly to the United States—. Mr.
Shaler concluded by observing that the
Algerine squadron, no doubt, was order
ed to respect oar flag, and that he was
fully convinced they had gone to the
westward. Capt. Brown requested Mr.
Shaler to inform the l)ey, that he would
suffer no Adeline cruizer to board an A
mericau vessel, if it was in his pow er to
prevent it—Capt. Brown immediately pro
ceeded with the Spark to Gibraltar; but
obtained no further in onnatiun on the
subject. On the arii.a) of Cap*. Q. at
Gibraltar, he met Ui<* Dutch squadron
consisting of a 74, two frigates and a sloop
of war—and having communicated to the
Dutch Admiral the above information, die
w hole of the squadron proceeded up the
Mediterranean the next day.

FINE ARTS,
ft will he recollected tnat at the Afav
session of 1819, the Legislature of this
state passed a resolve, authorising the
Governor to procure a pair of p.stois, t
be presented to Commodore Macdunougu
as a testimony of their esteem for him, and
also as a memoiul of gratitude for his em
inent services in capturing the British
fleet on lake Campi&in. Tnese pistolsaie
now finished, and we yesterday had the
pleasure of examining them They were
made by Col. North, of Middletown, and
not only do great credit to him as an art
ist, but to the liberality of the state for
w hom they were made. The mounting is
all of pure gold, and put on with an un
sparing hand. The devices and engrav
ings are by the Giapinc Company of this
city. M e are told that the actual expense
which has been la.d out upon them L>
somewhat over a thousand dollars. Tilt
barrels are formed of hard and soft iron,
and wrought after the manner of Dan .as
cos blades, so as to present a beautiful
variety of chance figures over the wlu>l«
sjrface. The stock, which reaches about
half the length of the barrel, is made of
American black walnut, of unaoinoniv
rich dark color; the hail stock is of solid
gold. Upon the guard is a hue head of
Minerva fn raised work cf gold. Oil the
thumb piece is an elegant full length fig
ure of a warrior, in bass-relief; hi# stford
is raised, af.d he stands in the attitude, of
assault; m his left hand he holds a shield
bearing the arms ol Connecticut. In the
oack ground is a view of the ocean, and a
ship of war riding at anchor. On the
back {.late to the lock is a fine representa
tion of the engagement between the A
mericao and British fleets on iake Cham
