Buflian and Turk : fti ft'et* in the Black 9ea,

of each other on the Bth r and oeean a can

attacked the Turks in so advama*eoua a man
ner, that the enemy * fi.e coui«l not mucn
bun them, whild every gun from the Rnffian
icet told; the confrquence of which was,
that, after a conflict of fix-hour*,, the treated
tfwlufion took place among the fucks, ami
the Ruflifns took one Ihip'of d 6 R'«ns, wnh
the Vice-Admiral, band Bcr, a Pacha ot three
tafia, and au exceileut fe-imin. The Adrai
ral’« Uiip of 80 rums, blew up w.ih all her
crew, the Captam Becha except I, who was
fecti to make his escape in a fad failing boat.
The whole Turkilh fleet was damaged, dif

action took place between Tender and Ad

LONDON, Oarfer 5.
Hoflilities between the Court of Spain and
the Emperor of Morocco, have begun by
the bombardment of the city of Tangier*,
belonging to the latter fovercignty. The
King of Spain had ordered eight fliip* of the
line, and three frigates, to cruize off Cape
bpartal, and attack the barbarians wherever
there was an opportunity. In cchlfeqoeoce
we learn, by a letter from Malaga, that eight
tipanifli veflcls had bombarded Tangier*, but
chat the fiie from the fort* had been so briik
and well conducted, that the Spaniards wait
ed for a reinforcement. The Barbarians feetn
to he greatly improved in the manage incut
of their artii’ery.

of the nmthkrn powers, it will be a ft'rong
inducement to Great-Britain t». enter into a
more liberal and ext fen five treaty of com

promote the cultivation of hemp i» Be Bn

Hfw-Brunfwiik. Pitch, tar, nuft*, iron, •
and other naval flares, could be procured in
the greatetl abundance from the other fide of (
the Atlantic, even if all the fovereigna of
the north were inimical to the lifter country.

From 'the meeting of Parliament next

The idea of a re-emburfemern, from Spain,

is now given up. The obsolete business of

there are ftifl persons who arrogantly speak

A*conefpondent think 6 the rulers ot Ame*
rica ought not to view the impending fimra
-in Europe, with iudillereuce. It never can
be fuppMcd, that the Vast preparations making
" inti .eat •Btitain, are intended merely to car
ry on a war with Spain, about the unimpor
tant hajbour ot Nooika, or even the filheries
of the loti':hern ocean. Neither iuteteft nor
''honor cnuld indtrie her to purchaie so trivial
a benefit, at the price il*e must inevitably
pay tor it. Seciecy is a leading trait in the j|
charader ot the Btiiilhminift?r; aud if his &
ambition (hull Id lead him to endeavour to'
lcplace in. the crown Os England, th c gem
w hich it bath lofi in our revo u ion; it is molt
likely he would affiun a foreign caule for his
preparations ihereioie. Though Inch an at
tempt’ is not to be dreaded, we ought ro be
prepared to meet every attempt either of en
vy or ambition. The retention of the wel
ter u ptf.s, by the Biitilli, is not calculated
to remove lufpicion ; and the Bri.ifh romtftcr
may perhaps think, that the t tench nation is
in too dcianged a fi f uation again to aflift us,
