Vol. 1* to join the petty principalities, then Larch into Holland, and once more re itore the ftadtholdcr, in confluence as ] e alledges of the French having viola led their treaty. ... r “ 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.
