A NEW COMPANY
Anew company, t be called the

1,000,6092. in 10,000 shares of 100/.
each. Tbe Committee state, that
a charter will be granted, and (bat
tfee Government will sanction an
application to Parliament for an
Act of Incorporation. Several of
the leading men in the Money Mar
ket have been consulted by Minis
ters on the sulked, and they have

the prospect of raising the desired
amount in shares The following

ment to emigrants on their arrival

Great Britain and Algiers,
FROM THE XF.W HAMP-HUE TELES'! fcPB
On M relay the Cambria.!. 4S,
Capt. G W Hamiltpn, K. B- ar
rived from the sta
tion. The intelligence of most pro
minent interest from Hi at qia. ter is
what relates to the dispute with Al
giers. The letter which we sub
join upoQ this subject, is io tenor
the sane as several others with
wbi *h we have been favored :
Off ilgiers , -If uj 28, 1824.
“The present captious war with
the Dey of Algiers (for such it is
considered here) is, I perceive by
the papers, yet misunderstood. It j
is staled iu one of (bo articles for
the Oey's signature, as an apology
for the outrage said to have been
committed in breaking open the
Consul’s house, (which the Dey po
sitively denies, and'.declares that
his [Mr. M‘Donald’s] own clerk I
opened the door, and told the sol- j
diers to go in) for the future, the ;
flag should be hoisted on the town !
house as well as (he country one.
To thi* demand the D-iy ••emoustra- i
ted, ioasmuuh as it would become ‘
a question of religion among bis <
subjects; consequently,.he could oot !
answer for the *afeiv *f the Consul.
* i j
if it was hoisted. This he stated !
himself, in a letter to Lord B.i {
times:; at <he same time he agreed
to sign the whole of ihe articles
presented, and denied any objection I
having been made to Lo>d &x ]
imutlTs treaty; bat he could wot,
after the repeated ill treatments he ?
had experienced from Mr. M*Don
ald, allow him to a?*y per
son beside, ‘*a child,” he will re
sped* that Euglaod may send.
This is the absurd contention to
cause another boinoardment. Fur
ther, there is a * objetmon whatev
er lo our officers wearing their
sw *rd in the D*yV presence; for
tbe Admiral, Sir ilarry Veale, and
his Captain, o r Charles Burrard,
a L'euteu&ot, and two Midshipmeo,
waited on the Dey,with their swords
on: ami so little did <he Dey think ,
his objection to Me M*Donald j
wou’d he considered of any ooase- i
quec e, that he himself arranged
tne different salutes, as a proof of
his friendly disposition; but when
the proposal was made for the Con
sul (< laud again, and insisted on as
a sine qua non, the Dey broke in a
passion, aid thus ended the inter
view and negociation There is
much expected from the bombs;
but we ought to expect more from
the disposition of his Janissaries ;
for if they do not cut off bis bead,
they will laugh at our bombs.
Since Lord Exmouth was here, thev
have strengthened those weak points
his Lordship discovered, with three
additional batteries, each two tier
—*nn the lower 18 guns, a* lon the
upper 16. It is not supposed the
ships will have any thing to do with
the attacks; nor, indeed, would it
be at all prudeot. They qje to an
chor near tbe bombs, to give them
assistance only, if necessary.
“The Dey declares, that, if we t
bombard the town, he • will send ’>
ail the inhabitants out of it, and .
bold out to tbe last!’ We fully ex
pect, however, that, as soon as the
other bombs arrive from England,
{The Terror, Capt. Arbuihnott, is
arrived,) we shall begin to bombard.
The Naiad is blockading Bona; the *
Ranger blockading Oran; the Act
ive and Glasgow blockading Algiers,
the Revenge is at Malta; the Sy
bille, at Smyrna; the oo
it* passage to Naples, Leghorn, and
Genoa, the Divide is gone up to A
iexamlria; Ihe Pandora and Alacri
ty are empl yed in convoying be
tween Malta and Gibraltar. The
Terror i9 gone to Gibraltar.
We have no! ventured tn offer to
our readers any calculations of prob
abilities in regard to theresultof the
peoding election of President aod
Vice President of the U States;
We have our opinion Oi* ihe subject,
it if true, which is worth bo more
than the individual opinion of most
of our readers, & wa do not, there
fore, obtrude it upon them further
than now to say, (hat every thing
we see confirms our belief (hat the
nomination oy Republican Members
of Congress will rereive a decidedly
larger number of votes of the Elec
tors, than any other, if it do oot re
ceive a majority of the whole num
her.
The calculations of a correspon
dent, in a preceding column, are not
too favorable, we should think, to
Mr. Crawford.
An intelligent gentleman? in a
Northern city, who has just return
ed home from au excursion East
ward, writes to the Editors thus:
“la Connecticut, Mr. Crawford is
gaining friends every day, as well
as in Massachusetts and Rhode Isl
and; and I shall not he surprised if
alt of them give their votes for the
Democratic Candidate.” The wri
ter of this is not, that we know, fa
vorable to the claims of Mr. Craw
tord.
A letter, dated the 2tsi of August,
from one of the most intelligent gen
tlemen living in the most populous
part of the State of North Carolina,
gives the strongest assurances that
the Electoral TANARUS ket, nominated by
tbe Republican Members of the Le
gislature, will prevail by a decided
majority tie adds, that the new
Me nbers of the Legislature, whose
ele Hion is just over, are almost to
a man in favor of Mr. Crawford.-*

ON THE PRESIDENTIAL E
LECTION.
FJOM 4 CITIZEN OF MARYLAND.
From present appearances, view
ed wiih candor, and warranted by
circumstances of reoeat ooourreuce,
and information from all quarters,
derived from the most unquestiona
ble sources, the following statement
approximates more nearly (lie true
state of things, in regard to the
Presidential Election, than any o
ther I have seen, and is submitted
to the intelligent aod unprejudiced
of all parlies.
CRAWFORD. MCKSON.
Highest Lowest. Highest Lowest.
Maine 3 Pennsylvania 28 28
R Inland 4 Maryland 6 4
N Y-Kk 35 36 S. Carolina 11 11

Maryland 7 5
65 57
From this view it will he seen
that Mr. Crawford’s lowest vole
will exceed any other candidate’s
highest vote by 1S votes, and will
consequently give him additional
claims oo the fl >use of Representa
tives, should ihe election unfortu
nately go there. It will also be
seen that the electors of Mr. Clay
can save us from this alternative,
by throwing their weight into the
scale of Mr. Crawford, which they
cannot do by giving their votes to any
other candidate It is further evi
dent Pennsylvania, the back
bone of tbe nation, with New Jer
sey, and any one of tbe New Eng
land states, save Rhode Island, can,
without the aid of Mr. Clay’s friends,
elect Mr. Crawford Twhereas, it
would require all tbe states friendly
to Mr. Adams to eleet Geo. Jack
son, or all the states friendly to
Gen. Jackson to elect Mr. Adams.
I forbear saying any thing on tbe
probable result of aa election by the
House of Representatives, because
I rely oo the good sense of tbe na
tion to avert an event so fraught
with danger.
CORRECTOR.
A Warning Voice.
The Planters of South Carolina
| and Georgia ought to reflect upon
tbe fact, that, twelve years since,
when tbeir export of eouoadiu
nor amoont to more baa ono u uf*
if so much, ns that during tho last
year, their receipts ware far great
er than at present. Friend Crop
per, of Liverpool, did, indeed, hj’
a most fallacious statement, last
year, induce the planters to believa
that the supply would oot be equal
to the demand, and, for a few me >*hs
the effect was his receiving largo
oonsignmeots, the thing fee wanted;
but ihe bubble soon burst, and now*
it seems, that new rivals, in fho
oultivatiou of cotton, have started
up in the independent colonies of
South America, and of Mexico*
Several cargoes of the article, from
Santa Martha and Qarthagcna, have
been imported into Philadelphia, and
sold at 17 cents. It was eagerly
purchased by the spiunerg, being
soft aod silky, and the staple aa
long and ns floe as that of (ho best
Sea Island. Tbe Spanish colonies
are our rivals at borne; a more dis
tant, bat not less formidable, com
petitor in the European market, is
that extraordinary person, the Pa
sha of Egypt, samples of whose cot
ton have been received in Hie Uniu
ed States, and who, having the pow
er. will doubtless accomplish that
which he has declared he would and
“cover the earth with the cotton
plant, from Cairo to the cataract*
of the Nile.” His first shipment

We mu'b fear the United State*
will shortly experience, from E?
gypt, serious opposition in supply
ing the world with cotton. ‘Tho Pa
cha of the district whence some wa*
brought last year, has turned bis
attention, aod that of bis people, so
seriously to it, that, from 60 to 70,-
000 bales are expected from ther*
this year. A vessel with 950 bales
arrived here a day or two ago. It
sells ai from lid to per wt. and

Which this colf>% is produced, but,,
aware of tbe extent of the pupula
tion of Egypt, and of the extreme
poyeriy of the people, if it should
be found profitable, it may be earv
ried to any extent of cultivation.
From the Boston Commercial Gaz+
It is rumored in our circles, that
the Minister ofhis Christian Ma
jesty has received orders no* to
extend aoy civility to the Marquis
de Lafayette, now in th>s coun
try; it is also stated, that tbe Ft eneU
and Eoglish Consuls, in Boston,
have not paid their respects to tho
Marquis. Tbe latter pari of the
story we believe to be true; we have
the honor oi knowing these public
functionaries, and have a high re -
spect sos both gentlemen, for their
intelligence, urbanity, and courte
sy, and fully believe that political,
and not personal reasons, influence
their conduct. We are not surpri
sed at the fact, that such a man as
the Marquis de Lafayette should be
marked with tbe neglect of crowned
heads, and even treated with ran
c?our by the Agents of the little Prin
cipalities of Germany. ‘The latter
cannot but remember, with shame
and hatred, when England huck
stered at (heir “shambles of human
life,” for myrmidons lo conquer us,
and take our heritage as the re*
ward for their humane labors. T-
