C H 4RRIS H. M‘INTOSH, £ Committee of Finance. GEORGE V. PROCTOR, SCRAPS FROM LONDON PAPERS. Mr. Brougham is among the distinguished opposition members of the British parliament who are on a visit to the continent. The London Morning Chornicle, says that in a late debate in the house of commons, as to the Algerines.— Lord Castlereagh stood alone in hesitating about the ex pediency of a war with Algiers. Lord Cochrance said two sail of the line could destroy the forts of Algiers in an hour. A piece has been cut from his majesty's ship Victory, (the immortal Nelson’s flag ship) to make two snuff box- os, one for the prince of Coburg, the other for die duke of Gloucester!!! Young Napoleon is now called prince Prahcis Charles. He is said to express himself perfectly well in German, Italian and French. Stories of the learning of the chil dren of the great are generally exaggerated. What is improbable as to other children, is improbable as to them. A paper says, marshal Suchet,.who rose from the situation of a journeyman barber, has been put on actual service as a general by Louis XVIII. The devil’s in it—if the barbers are any longer against. Louis. . During Lord Exmouth’s last visit to Algiers, two offi cers (Captains Pechell and Ward, of the Clorinde and Banterer,) took an excursion into the country, for a few miles. On their way they were met by two janissaries, who pulled them from their horses, took away their SWords, rifled their pockets, and then tied their hands behind them and led them into the city. But as the act was unauthorized on the part of the Dey, every satis faction was given to lord Exmouth. The English. Con sul was likewise obstructed in the discharge of his duty, and his family detained in the country; but this also was done away. The whole of the Barbary powers seem to have de clared war against the Christians. Every day brings fresh accounts of their atrocities. They are provoking their fate, and the 1 vengeance to be inflicted on them will we trust be speedy and effectual. The plague still rages at Alexandria; the Austrian con sul and his family have fallen victims to it. All accounts agree ity' th e horrible depredations committed by the Barbary powers, si neb the treaty with Lord Exmouth.— They wage a murderous war against all Christians.— Numbers of troops are marching towards Dalmatia, and great excesses are committed between Costanezza and Constantinople. Disturbances are 3aid to have taken f lace in that capital, but the details are hitherto un- nowti. A French paper states a report, that Suchet has been admitted to a private audience by the king, and replaced in active service. It will be remembered that this man w»s made a-duke by Bonaparte, expressly for the inhu- n»D buteh&y which he perpetrated at Tarragona; and that he was one of the first to join the standard of re bellion in 1815. Another report assigns the place of minister of the interior to Pasquier, who has proved in Fanche Barel’s case to have been one of the parties en- ed in a plot to entrap the royal family into France to tmurdered. General Girard, who has quitted France, is, it is said, going to Stockholm to demand a considerable sum of money from Prince Royal (Bernadotte) which he pre tends has been due to him a considerable time. This general was formerly his first aid de camp. The painter David, who is exiled from this country, has been disappointed in his views; he wished to be em ployed by the king of Prussia, as inspector of arts, but his request has been refused. It is said in the Moning Chronicle that admiral lord Exmoutlihas important communications to make respect ing an illustrious personage. The princess of Wales is undoubtedly meant. There have been some suspicions tliatshewaSa little deranged. The Chronicle hints that some circumstances in lord Exmoutli’s fleet occasioned his return to England. The prince of Coburg is admitted a member of the British privy council. General R. A. Seymour is appointed governor of St. Lucia. DREADFUL WAR IN AFRICA. • London, July 1. In our Last paper we mentioned an account which had, appeared in the Dutch Journals, of a war that was ravag ing the western coast of Africa. It was transmitted by the Dutch secretary to government at the Castle of St. George, Delmina, dated tiie 15th of March, and express ed the opinion that our establishment of Cape Coast Cas tle (miscalled in the Dutch papers Cape Core.) would not be able to hold out against the furious banditti who were coming down against it. * We received on Saturday a letter from a gentleman resident at that settlement, from which we have extract ed the following particulars of the origin and progress of the negro war. The letter is dated the 22d of March, seven days later than the Dutch secretary’s account, and is the only communication on the subject that has yet been received in England. “Since my last (says the writer) we have been full of trouble, alarm and confusion at this place, and all alongthe Fanlee coast. It appears that three or four of the Island princes, having given some offence to the king of Ashantee, he made war upon them, with a vast ar my, and chased them from place to place, with dreadful slaughter, till they Mine up to the Fantee territory, where they received^ protection for a time. But being again attacked by at least twenty thousand men, it was impossible to stand against them, and after a sanguinary battle the fugitives were not able to make a stand, and they were routed and dispersed in all directions. “The Ashantees having afterwards heard that they found an asylum near this place (Cape Coast Castle,) they dispatched a part of their army hither, with an in tention of destroying the town, and, I am sorry to say, there has been much skirmishing, and several heads taken off by the v ictors, (for since the abolition of the slave trade, it is the uniform custom of these savages to put all their prisoners to death.) ; Mr. White interfered as soon as he heard of what was going on, and dispatched mes sengers to the Ashantee general, who has returned a pa cific answer, stating that he has no intention to molest not without alarm, as their army is so close to us, that while it remains we feel as uneasy as if we were about to receive the embrace a la Frangaise/ The fact is, that we place no confidence in their pacific professions. All the English formany miles round, have hurried into the Cas tle with the utmost precipitation, where we are sliht in with between four and five thousand women and chil dren. On the other side, the Worsaw tribe have brougiit an army down against Commeida, so that there is 110th- ing but war and slaughter all around us. The Annam- bocs and all the tribes as tar as Berracoe, are either mur dered or dispersed, and such is our critical situation, that we know not what will become of us, as it seems im possible for any of us to leave the coast, as we have no ships at hand, and the Lord Mulgrave is not expected in less than a fortnight. The following is an extract of a letter received in Bos ton, from Bath, in England. “The expense attending an emigration to America, is really frightful, and enough to appal the heart of a poor Englishman in these trying times; for it is with great dif ficulty we can feed our families; much more raise a sum sufficient to carry us across the Atlantic. I once thought myself honored in being a native of England;, but those halcyon days are gone, and whither can we turn our thoughts but to America my adopted country; a country which excites my admiration? I watch the great pro gress she is making in the arts, 8cc. with pleasure. I view her rapid strides to power and wealth with the most de lightful emotions; and whenever I have the map of Ame rica in my hand, I run my eye over her almost boundless limits, and in extacy cry out, Jiere is space enough for the growing energies of a great people. I contemplate with pleasure its probable future great ess and stability, and the present state of happiness which the Americans enjoy. The only regret I have, is, that I cannotconsider myself by birth one of them, though by adoption I may, and therefore you are to consider me an American in ex ile. ’Tis there, whilst reflecting on the strange vicissi tudes that the old world is undergoing, I see the only place of refuge left for its poor, unfortunate and perse cuted inhabitants.” No European Spaniard shall be put to <> -: battle.

A letter was received in this town on Wednesday last, by Mr. Samuel Cary, one of the owners of the ship Charles, of this port, detained at Valparaiso for being de ficient of a sea letter, from a Spaniard, dated at Lima, January 8, 1816, stating that the ship Charles, Worth, of this port, arrived at Calho, on the 9th of December, 1815, from Valparaiso, and that she sailed free on the 16th of the same month—the letter also stated, that captain Worth received instructions directing all commanders by sea and by land not to molest or detain her. There are several gentlemen on the island who are acquainted with the Spaniard, and say he is a man of respectability. The Charles, when she sailed from Calho, had 180 bar rels oil. The British ship Indispensable sailed for England with 24#0 oil, which she obtained in II A gentleman who yesterday arrived at this por i" ■ brig William Henry, from Bristol, was reportt. tab the French marshal Soult.
