■:V On the receipt of the intelligence of the rati fication from America, I lost net a moment in requesting tlie release of the prisoners, according to (he terms of the treaty, and Bomber of the vessels which I had hired, as mentioned in roy latter ofthe I3lh, and which are nowon their voyage to the United States, will shew that the neccsiry steps were taken to provide for their immediate transportation to their country.— The prisoners, also, were informed of these jotasnres, and ofthe exertions which had been made from* the commencement to return them <a their hemes with the least possiblt delay.— Therefore, whatever may have been their unea siness under confinement, and whatever hostile feelings they may bare had towards me, as no ticed in the report, end in Mr. King’s letter, I ■idst sey with confidence, that 1 coaid not pre vent the.one. nor do I deserve the other. 1 have the honor to be, sir, gear most obedi- ont humble servant, R.

If we may credit the veracity of tha Acadian Recorder of the 8th instant, our squadron will not only have to deal with the corsairs of AI- . giers, but to encounter “six- sail of the line ’/and as many frigates” ofthe Ottoman Porte.— The consequence of these vessels in the Medi terranean, the colonial editor thinks, will com pletely frustrate the design of our expedition; and, should the Dutch join it, their manner of ■ailing will prevent them from rendering com modore Decatur any advantage. The Record er next tells his readers that the lower ports of the Independence being “ hardly three feet and a half out of the water,” “ it was deemed I prudent to caulk them before she attempted to cross the Atlantic”—this mistatement needs no reply. However, from the influence that the English havo in the divan of Constantinople, we think it very likely that his “ sublime highness” may assist the barbarians in the present contest; but we cannot attach the preponderating im. porlance to that circumstance, nor look so lightly on the Dutch navy, as the loyal colonist pretends to do. The Holla iiders are certainly better seamen than the Russians were in 1770, and the Moslems, we know, have not improved since that period—they dislike innovations and disdain to be instructed by djowrs. In that year, an infinitely inferior Russian squadron, under Alexis Orloff, destroyed, by fire-ships, Bear the island of Scio, a Turkish fleet, con sisting of fifteen ships from 60 to 90 guns, be sides a number of smaller vessels, with the ex ception of one, which was captured; and in the year 17SS, in two engagements near Oczakofif, the prince of Nassau-Siegen defeated an enor mous armament with the loss of five thousand men, while his own amounted to not more than about two hundred and fifty. Numerous •thor-instance*might be cited, if our space permitted, to prove the insignificence of the Tuiks at sea. To gratify the cariosity of such ef our readers as have not perused the travels commiserate . the factions people of Massachu setts. This is their recompense for opposing the lgte war—it is a taken of Britain’s respect for the grand moral commonwealth of Strong and Otis, and of his Britannic majesty’s high priest in America—the reverend Dr. Parish- Had the New-Bngland states done their duty the fishermen at thiaday would not be confined to the waters of the United States. However, the honor ef the Republic demand* the removal of tins obstruction. THEDARTMOORTRAGEDY. In to-day’s Repnbliane will be found the offi cial documents respecting the Dartmoor mas sacre. After so mneb having been said on that horrid catastrophe in the different journals of eur ccnntry, we think it entirely unnecessary to add another word ; but extract the following observations from the National- Intelligencer of the 19th inst. on account .ofthe known can dor and impartiality of the editors, and the high source* to which they bare reference for intel ligence and correction. We published without comment,- the other day, the official papers recently transmitted to. onr govern ment respecting the murderous busi ness at Dartmoar. We offered no comment, | because we desired not to appear unwilling to ' listen to the vindication of the conduct of tbe British government. That motive however ought not to stop our mouths altogether^: and, right glad as we should certainly be to find that this affair was a mere accident, a concurrence of mischances and fortuitous circumstances, a smooth story cannot entirely efface a very dif ferent conviction forced on our miuds, a convic tion which cannot be resisted, that flows from the numerous statements by an hundred differ ent persons, roost of them sealed by the stamp of a solemn oath. If the treatment of oiir pri soners had been thus humane as represented, if they had acted thus idly as is stated, and drawn on themselves just censure, is it possible, think you, reader, that sober, upright, intelligent American citizens, by slanders and witnesses of the murder of our citizens, could have so mis stated the facts, as, if the official statement be true, they assuredly have done ? 'What motive can be rationally assigned for such conduct on their part? None that we can imagine. We have no disposition to deny credit to the facts slated by the two commissioners, not doubting in the least but they are truly represented as given in evidence to them. Bat, to the reason ing, to the 5 inference of motive and probabili ties, perhaps objection may be made. Some of our readers will probably think our commission er Mr. Smith yielded. rather too far his native feeling to that spirit of conciliation, which he appears to have considered necessary to secure the signature of his colleague in the inquisition. We shall probably publish, for the further information of our readers, one or two ofthe best authenticated statements by the prisoners, which offer so entirely a different view ofthe matter as to entitle them at least to republics, tion. If there beany of the witnesses of the massacre, most of whom have returned to the United States,, who concur in tbe statement' in which has been la.t published, we should also be glad to receive and pubtisb their view of the subj-ct. In great sincerity wo declare,’ that our only object is correct information, and that preparing at Martinique, to sabdue F.-ance. o- -4s pr-t- .

Captain Blackwell; of tho brig Ravage, ar rived here yesterday, in31 days from Madeira, informs, that Mr. celling of Funchal received a letter from Mr. Rose orLishon, dated Jane 7, by which it tippeared, that an Algerine frigate , - . had been off the bar 6?

All the business of steering the ves sel was left to the two Kagusans/and to an old i pilot whs had never consulted a chart in his ’ life ; the captain’s nephew having the manage ment of the crew, and the care of the rigging. A few French prisoners, were kept in irons, ready to be sent aloft in rough weather. To these were added, a sturdy buffoon, who might he considered as burlesqueirig the office of boat swain ; it was his duty to keep the crew in good I 1 humor by all sorts of tricks and jokes ; to pro- . * -tniae, and sometimes to distribute, bachihish,* 1 when any additional hands were required in aid ef the French prisoners aloft, and when the . Turkish sailors refused, as they constantly did, 1 ‘ to venture from the deck ; an ideot, held sa cred as a saint, and kept on board for good •luck ; a couple of dervishes ; an -auctioneer, employed daily in hawking commodities for sale bctvrccn the decks ; an immense concourse of .passengers, from all parts ofthe Levant; pil grims upon their return from Mecca; Taitars, as couriers ; sixty Arabian horses, belonging to the Capndan Pasha, with their Arab grooms ; venders of coffee atfd tobacco, who had regular ■hops established in different parts ofthe ship.” ’ »• At night, the spectacle on board was perhaps •ne of the most striking which persons unac customed to venture with Turkish mariners can possibly witness, dkhe ship seemed to be left i pretty much to her own discretion ; every offi- cerof the watch being fast asleep, the port holes all open, an., enormous quantity of canvas let loose, and the’-passengers between decks, with paper lanerns, snoozing over their lighted pints ; while the sparks from these pipes, with pieces of ignited, fungus, were flying mail di rections.

From the Acadian Recorder. m Hallifax, July 8. It was confidently asserted at Gibraltar, that the Turks are determined to assist the Alge rines in the approaching contest with America ; and that six sail of the line, and as many fri gates. were ready for that purpose ; a gentle man wh# has sailed with Turkish men-ofwar (when combined with the British fleet in the Mediterranean) informs us, that they are well appointed, and during the day well handled, but as their crews are chiefly composed of slaves who arc confined at dark, they are under snug sail at night. The two-deckers have a port on each side, abreast the main-mast, for a large gun, or moxtar, to throw granite-balls, which weigh from three to five hundred lbs. if Com modore Decatur means any thing beyond pa- rad&, he may meets reception as unexpected as unpleasant; the Duteh may possibly join him, but their rate of sailing is against their giving him material assistance; and the Independ ence, has her sides so thick and’heavy, that her lower deck ports are hardly three feet and ahalfout ofthe water; in consequence of which.

The 10th regiment having, remained with the dnke of Angeulemc until the last mo ment, Were of course behind all the rest of the army in putting up the tri-«olored cockade ; the first time they were reviewed by the em peror, he spoke to them with affection, and re minded them of their former glory, and touch ed but lightly on their last disaffection ; their colonel then came forward, and in’ the name of all his regiment desired to ba sent on to the frontiers without cartridges and to be placed in the “ front of the battle.” The emperor received him kindly, and said, “ I will take care you shall have an early opportunity of dit tinguishing yourselves.” “ Some emigrants, said to be 2000, headed by La Roche Jacquelino, (whose name will be found in the history of La ^Vendee) effected a landing in Brittany and endeavored to stir up an insurreetion, but before any troops could be sent against them the peasants feH on them, and cut them all up; La Roche Jacqueline ii said to be mortally wounded. Thus ends the first attempt. “ Murat has had a battle with the Austrians, and killed, and wounded, and made prisoners, fifteen thousand.
