CHARLESTON, NOV. 27. A company of U. S. troops embarked yesterday on beard the schr. Patsy, and sailed for st. Mary’s. This is a part of the force mentioned in our paper of Monday last, as having been ordered to rendezvous at Point Petre. Col. Bankhead who will take the command of the corps whenlts sembled, also embarked in the Patsy. Gazette. From the Brazils. —We have seen letters says the Boston Daily Advertiser, from Rio Janeiro to the beginning of September. A naval expedition was fitting out at that place, the destination of which w r as un known. Perhaps it is not unreasonable to conjecture, that its object is to take off the Portuguese troops at Monte Video. Per fect tranquility reigned at Rio. The account of a revolution in Algiers Is confirm ed by the arrival at Boston on the 16th instant, of the brig Orleans, captain Jones, in 40 days from Gibraltar. A Gibraltar paper, brought by the Orleans announces the event in the fol lowing manner; GIBRALTAR, OCT. 4. [from Oran, by letters dated fourteenth and twenty-sixth September ] 15 Death of the Dey of Algiers. —On the 13th of Se ptember a number of Jannissaries assembled round the palace of the Dcy, call ed upon him to descend, as if it was their intention to put him to death, his reign hav ing been a series of disasters both by sea and land. “ The Dev, being obliged to comply, was taken by the soldiers to the house of the Kishna-Aga, where he was strangled, and a man named Ali Cogia, a retired merchant, was declared his successor ; the ministers of the late Dey have been exiled to differ ent cities of the regency.” Captain Jones confirms also the account of the arrival of the American squadron at Gibraltar. They arrived on the 3d October, and were lying at quarantine, when the Orleans sailed. GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 27. We are sorry to learn that intelligence has been received of the arrival at Fez, a bout the Ist, of a caravan, with merchan dize, direct from Algiers. The number of deaths in Algiers, accord ing to official intelligence have amounted to 150 a day ; but the disease has subsided to about 40 deaths daily. OCTOBER, 4. At Oran, and on the frontiers of the kingdom of Morocco, not the smallest pre caution is taken against the plague ; not withstanding this, the disease has not yet shewn itself to the westward of Aiders. Caravans pass daily from Algiers to dif ferent towns in Morocco. The Moors at Tclemzen, and other cities of this province, communicate with the kingdom of Morocco as formerly. At Bona the disease is said to have sub sided ; at Coristantia the daily number of deaths amounts to about 100. Christophe, king of Hayti, it is said, has •mployed two Hessian officers; one as an engineer, the other as an architect. —*— On the 29th ult. captain Smith, of schr. .Leandpr, of Nevv-York, was tried in the su perior court at Washington, N. C. before judge Daniel, for a violation of the quaran tine laws of that port, and found guilly— penalty five hundred pounds. Boundaries. —lt is stated in the Albany Daily Advertiser, that “the survey on the St. Lawrence has been completed about 40 miles at an expence of $30,000 and that tfie “commissioners for running the northern line has with his attorneys, ex ploring parties, Ik c. been at the expence of at least 50,000 dollars for running twenty miles!” The whole length of the boundary line between the United 8. and the British pro vinces is estimated at 200 miles. \\ hat is the fixing of this line to cost the United S. At the rate of the 40 miles on the Kt. Law rence, a million and a half of dollars! or take at you rate the 20 miles on the north ern line, and you will pay (he round turn of nvr. millions !! ! r* m the Boston Daily Advertiser, Nov. 20. A Baris paper under date ofKonings berg, Sept. 15, mentions that the Baron de Balk, the’Russian minister at the court of Rio Janeiro, who, in consequence of some misunderstanding with the court, had quit the Brazils’ and was on his way to London, has received new instructions, and it is pre sumed that he will return to Rio Janeiro. It is added that the court of Villanova, who has recently become prime tninister in place of the count of Barca, and cosnt Palmella, late Portuguese ambassador in Russia, and now minister of foreign affairs, and of war at Rio Janeiro, are favorably disposed to wards Russia; and that the Portuguese government, under the influence of these minister, will be disposed to adopt a differ ent system of measures. It is thought that one of the consequences of a change £f min istry will be, the withdrawing of the Por tuguese troops from Montevideo. Dur Squadron. —The Boston Palladium of the 18th inst. says, “Capt. Jones, from Gibralter, left the whole American squad ron there in quarantine, having just came down the Mediterranean. Capt. Jones has brought despatches from coin. Chauncey, veered to him in a boat, as no other inter course was allowed under the quarantine. It \Vxs understood there had been some difficulty with the Bey of Turns, but that it had been adjusted. AH intercourse with Gibralter was pro hibited to vessels coming from the Barbary states to the eastward of the emperor of Morocco’s dominions, and from Egypt. —•*>— A Bomba}’ paper, received at Boston,, mentions, that a Mr. Anderson,, fourth of ficer of the ship Charles Grant, while ba thing in the harbor of Bombay, was attack ed and devoured by a number of sharks. A quarter master and a seaman, who were bathing w ith him, succeeded in getting on board a vessel which lay near. A shark, it is stated, was pur suing the seaman, when a sentry on board a Portuguese frigate level ed his piece, and shot tha fish. On the 17th inst. an election took place in Suffolk district, Massachusetts,for a mem ber of congress, to fill the place of mr. Lloyd. From the return of votes, the editor of the Boston Palladium is induced to re mark, that “ there is no doubt of the elec tion of mr. Mason.” •new Election. —The lamented death of the hon. Alexander Macmillon, elected to represent Fayetteville district during the approaching congress, leaves a vacancy in the delegation from this state, which must be supplied by anew election. John Winslow, esq. who now represents Fay etteville in the state legislature has been nominated as a candidate. It is not known whether he will have any opposition. Tlierev. Jacob Fitz Randolph, ofNew- Jerscy, who had been blind for some time, has been operated upon by Dr. Physic, and recovered the use of one eye. Mad Dogs. —The National Intelligencer of the 18th inst. says, that a dog since as certained to be indisputably mad, on Sun day bit five dogs in Washington city in the space of a few seconds, but was fortunately secured before he had bitten any human being. Caution. —There are in circulation, 1 dollar Newbern, and 2 dollar farmers bank of Virginia, very artfully altered to resem ble tens. —Raleigh Minerva. • From the Washington City Gazette, of Nov. 13. Rumour. —lt has been rumoured that the state of Georgia has threatened to take pos session of East Florida herself, if the gene ral government will not immediately adopt measures to restore tranquility to that pro vince. The collection of the negroes is so great that serious apprehensions are enter tained for the security of that state ; and it is with a view to provide against this danger that Georgia is said to be determin ed on the measure suggested. Florida. —lt is said that a South Ameri can of some notoriety has recently visited St. Mary’s with an intention to aid the Pa triot cause in Florida; but finding things in a state of confusion he did not anticipate, he lias withdrawn. We understand it is expected that the Franklin will sail from Annapolis on Wed nesday next. We understand that a special verdict was taken, in the college cause, in New liumpsliire, for the purpose of carrying it to the supreme cam t of the United States, :by writ of error, and that it will ot course | go there to be finally decided.— Button Rep | From the New-York Mercantile Advertiser. Discovery of the Longitude by an American. The reading part of the community al ready knows that Dr. Joel Abbott, of Geol-gia, has for several years distinguish ed himself by inquiries id Magnetism. As long ago as 1802, there was a summary of his opinions published in Mitchill & Mil ler’s Medical Repository at New-York.— Since that time the Magazines and Journals have Occasionally noticed the progress of this ingenious gentlemen’s discoveries.— The full developement of his magnetic the ory, and its practical application, are con tained in his essay on the central influence of magnetism,published in a pamphlet forih at Philadelphia, with diagrams,in 1814. Experiments lately made onboard a ship bound from Savannah to Liverpool, and on board another from Boston to Savannah, have shewn that Dr. Abbott’s plain and sim ple apparatus for determining the longitude upon magnetical principles is admirably a dapted to the purposes of both calculating and navigating men. It is the intention of the inventor of this elegant method to cause improved machin ery to be made, and new modes of observa tion to be adopted; and we understand, that he will shortly lay before the public another edition of his work, with the whole elucidation of the important discovery which he has had the good fortune to make. From the Buffalo Gazette, Nov. 4. On Thursday night last, the citizens of this village were roused by the terrible cry of fire: the alarm soon subsided, as it pro ceeded from the goal; it was found that al) the prisoners, to the number of 5, among whom were some convicts to the state pris on, had escaped. They made their way out by burning the outer door of the jail. A part of the prisoners have been retaken. A citizen of this village is arrested on a charge of assisting the prisoners to make their escape—others are suspected. A few weeks since, a mr. Lacy, a travel ler, Was robbed at mr. Hutchinson’s tavern, in this tow n, of nearlys6oo, in specie.. The money was left in a waggon,which was lock ed up in the barn during the night. On the 18th instant, a man named Thomas Wil liams,(whb had been previously apprehend ed, on suspicion, but discharged for w r ant of proof,) was again taken into custody, the money to the amount of $542 found in Iris possession, and roCirn arl I J , uuO Williams committed to gaol. We publish the above statement of facts with much satisfaction, as completely exonerating from suspicion, the character of mr. Hutchinson, whom we believe to be a respectable and honest citizen. New process for making salt. —lt gives us pleasure to announce that mr. Everard Hall, of Princess-Ann, whose highly im- portant invention for facilitating the man ufacture of salt we noticed in our paper of the 24th Sept, last, has obtained a patent for his invention. Mr. Hull’s process so far surpasses all the methods heretefore pursued in manufacturing this article, both in the quantity and quality of salt obtained by it, that it is worthy the attention of per sons engaged in this business, and must in a short time supersede all other meth ods now in use. —Norfolk Beacon. PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 14. Yesterday morning, an ill looking fellow entered a house in south sixth-street, and was cautiously proceeding up the third story with the intent to rob the house ; he was discovered by one of the females of the family, and immediately fled before any one could be procured to arrest him. It is recommended that housekeepers keep their doors shut throughout the day ; and at night, before retiring, search their rooms that no such villain may be lurking therein meditating mischief, TOASTS. At a late meeting of printers, the following {oasts were drank Fertility to brains, and an insatiable appetite to curiosity. A literary war, a smart press, and devastation to paper and ink.

Extract of a letter to the editor dated, Gibraltar, September 25, 1817. “ I embrace the opportunity of a gentle man going direct to New-York, to send you the latest price current for Gibraltar, Mal aga, Barcelona and Magodore, presuming that they may be useful to your paper, or interesting to your commercial friends.
