“ On the other hand, m consequence
of this republic having refufed to ac
knowledge the French minister, they
have laid an embargo on all the iliips cl
the flag in their ports ; in consequence
of this, numbers of fliips that were ready
to proceed to the different southern ports
are detained. England and Franee seem
to maintain the war with unabated acti
vity ; io that in lhort, from prclcnt ap
pearances, it is reasonable to conjecture,
the summer will tind all Europe in a
blaze.”
Caution to Merchants and other Ci
tizens of the United States.
The advices received by Capt. O’
Brien, from Col. Humphrey's at Lis
bon, (hew that the temporary obitacles
toa fulfilment of the ftipulattons on the
part of the United States with the Dey
au.d Regency of Algerines, are not yet
removed. The treaty itfelf being put
in jeopardy by the unexpected delays,
the faiety of American veifels entering
the Mediterranean, has become extreme
ly precarious. It should alio be remem
bered, that no treaty has ever yet been
made between the United Srate* and the
governments of Tripoli and Tunis.
Merchants and other citizens of the Uni
ted States will hence fee the hazard to
which they will expose their property
aad the liberty of their fellow citizens,
by engaging in the present state of things
in commerce with the Straits of Gibral
tar.

The day before yesterday, the new
copper bottomed Ship Mount Vernon y be
longing to this port, outward bound for
London, with a valuable cargo, was ta
ken about one hour after the pilot left
lier, by the French privateer schooner
flying Fish, which failed from hence a
few days since. The privateer's men,
took every person, captain and crew, out
of the Mount Vernon, put them on board
a Pilot boat, and sent them off. The
captain of the Flying Fish had a lift of
fie American (hips belonging to this
port, which he said he was determined
to capture.
