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.
