[We often hear that trench bravery is
inspired by a love of Liberty. What
inspires the Algerines ninth bravery ?
Read the following :]
OBSTINATE CONFLICT.
The following article, dated Faro, Au
gust 12, was received by the last Lif- #
bon mail :
“ An Algerine Corsair fall of men,
was lately funk off Cape St. Vincent's
by two Portuguese men of war, after a
moft del pe rate and bloody conflift of
nine glaiies, wherein vast numbers were
killed on both Tides. The Rover main
tained the aftion with such firmnefs and
undaunted resolution that at one time it
was doubtful whether (he would not
have beat them both off, notvvithftand
ing the iupeiiof odfis against her. The
Portuguese behaved manfully, ahd of
fered to give quarters provided they
would ftnke, which generous and hu
mane offer the pirates with horrid im- ’
precations difdainfully refufed ; and so
revengeful were the Infidels to the lass,
that they fired grape and partridge shot
from the decks, and fraall arms out of
the top, into the men of war, as they
were finking, which did great mifehief
among the people. Both the lnips were
feverelv fhattered —one, had several shot
between wind and water, which made
her very leaky, and her fails and rigging
almost cut to pieces ; the other had her
foremaft andbowipritcarried away, with
part of her starboard bow, and a large
shot went fifteen inches into the main
mast. It is thought the pirates had
expended'all their cannon-balls, as in the
latter part of the engagement they fired
from the great guns marling /pikes,
ting-bolts, rusty nails, bits of iron, and
lead cut in iquare pieces.
“ What is alfonifhing, the Captain
was seen nailing the colours to the mast
as the ship was finking ; when done, he
pulled a pistol from his bread and shot
himfelf: through the head—He was a
bold, daring fellow, and would often
attack lhips of double his own force,
fornetimes made prizes of them, and al
ways fought under the bloody flag.”
BOTANY BAY.
By a letter from Governor Hunter,
New-South Wales, to his friends in
Leith, dated 16 of October, 1795, we
have the following particulars.
“ This settlement is wonderfully im
proved fmee the time I left it.—lt ap
pears now to be making rapid progress
towards an independance for provision.
Our cornfields (Wheat) at this present
moment appears as beautiful and luxuri
ant as any 1 ever saw in any part of the
world, and barring those accidents to
which all-countries are liable, we shall
have a rich and abundant harvest. Our
gardens are equally produtftive ; we
shall have a variety of liuit, European
as well as tropical.—Our grapes are in
immense quantities , fome of the gen
'lemen from their own gardens cxpedl
to make a butt, fome two butt’s cf wine
Columbian iHtjfcum, &c.
this year. The few cattle we have are
thriving amazingly. • The iheep and
goats are wonderfully prolific*j three
iambs at a time is no uncommon thing,
and that twice a year.;-the goats itill
more so. We find the best breed’ of
iheep to be the small Bengal ewe and the
large Cape ram; they produce a middle
size, which is delicate fine meat. All
the fuperfluous males among the goats
are prepared for the pot or i'pit ; and arc
so fine, that I would dety even an epi
cure to fay whether it was mutton or
qaperato he was eating.
t “ The four gentlemen, whom the ac
tivity of the magitfrates of Edinburgh
provided for our colony, I have seen,
and conversed with feperately since my
arrival here, they feemall of them gifted
in the powers of conversation. Muir
was the firft I law : I thought, him a
fenfibie, modest young man, of a very •
retired turn, which certainly his situa
tion in this country will give him an.
opportunity ot indulging: hefaid noth-!
ing on the severity ot his fate ; but
seemed to bear his circumstances with a
proper degree of fortitude and resigna
tion.
“ Skirving was the next I r 'w ; he l
appeared to me to be a fen fib 1 in
formed man; not you r
—he is fond of tanr> :
afed a piece of
- which v.. ,
his advantage.
“ Mr. Palmer paid fit;
he is laid to be a tuibi find
ot man, it may be so, 1,.. „... ... im
thejulfice to fay, that I have seen noth
ing ot that disposition in him since ray
arrival.
“ Mr. Margarot seems to be a lively,
facetious talkative man ; complained”
heavily of the injustice of his sentence.
in vvfiiich, however, he found I could not
agrfpwith him. I chose to appoint a
time for feeing each feperately ; and on
the whole, I have to fay, that their gen
eral conducl is quitedecent, and orderly ;
if it continues so, they will not find me
disposed to be harsh or diftrefiing to
them.”
BOSTON, Oftober 14.
An arrival on Wcdnefday last at Cape
Ann, fix days before, tell in with a
French fleet of 1 1 fail of the line and fix
frigates from France, bound on an ex
pedition against Halifax. They were
then about tea leagues weft of that place,
and detained the above veflel fix hours,
examining her very closely, during
which time the captain had the fulleit
evidence of their force and deltination.
Halifax has been lately strengthened in
its force, and has a trained militia and
two or three regiments of regular troops,
(including a provincial.) Prince Edward
commands there. The naval force,
which will probably be at the place,
mult be coniiderable. T hey have a
well finilhed magazine of naval and
military stores, and a superb dock-yard
at the above place.
NEW-YORK, Oftober 24.
On Saturday the ship Albermarle,
Captain Lang, and Two Friends, Capt.
Dean, arrived at this port, in 31 days
from the Texel.
Captain Deane, was at Amsterdam
on the 20th September, on which day,
there were reports in circulation favoura
ble to Jouidan, that he had received re
inforcements, rallied and beat the Aus
trians in turn—But we dare not place
much confidence in thefc accounts.
Fourteen ships of phe line and five
frigates lay at the Texel, and an Eng
lish fleet of twenty odd, fail, were cop
ltantly cruising oft"and on.
By the (hip Swan, Capt. Woodham,
from Liverpool yesterday, we have the
London Star of Sept. 16, 19, and 20,
and a hand-bill printed at Liverpool on
the 22d September, all the intercfting
accounts of which we shall give to-mor
row. In the mean time our readers are
apprized, that the hand-bill contains two
official letters, from Robert Craufurd,
the firft dated at Prince Charles’s head
quarters at Lauffen, August 27, the fec

DIED, at his plantation, in Liberty
C ounty, Nathan Brownson, Esq.
whose various talents as a Statesman,
Philosopher, and Physician, ha ,r e placed
him in the liftofdiftinguifhed characters.
His expiring moments were marked
with that peculiar firmnefs of mind,
whicli attended him through life, and
his last words delivered in whispers,
were more fublimcly eloquent, than all
the studied declamation of the pulpit—
<( The feene (said he) is now closing, the
business of life is nearly over; I have
like the rest of my fellow creatures,
been guilty of foibles ; but I trust to
the mercy of my God to pardon them ,
and to his jufiicc , to reward my good
deeds.” By his family, by his friends,
by men of sense and genius, who knew
him, his death will be long lamented.
