LATE3TFR0M ENGLAND.
^.Bostojt, August 2^—Noon.
By the arrival last evening t)f the ship Courier, captain
Prince, from Liverpool, we have received Liverpool pa
pers to the 19th ult and Loridon to the 17th.
U»«l Exmouth’s squadron kt/t preparing to sail im
mediately for tl»e Mediterranean, with ail accession ofse-
<Cnl additional heavy ships and bomb vessels. Marine-
-artillery, and a company of rocket corps, wferi to attenu
the expedition. The fleet will include seven sail of th
*Rne, and it was said that the Dutch fleet were to co
operate with it Orders have bee.ii given for the siiips to
'receive iron cables, and to have bits fore and aft for
fastening spr ngs, in case it should be necessary to ue
broadside to the enemy’s batteries. Several of the ships
had already left Portsmouth harbor.
A telegraphic dispatch from St. Main, (says the Cou
nter of July 16) announces, that the English are deter
mined to send an expedition to destroy the town and go
vernment of Algiers, which refuses to listen to any terms:
, -The British funds had advanced one per cent.
The duke of Wellington was still in England. The
■object of his visit, had'not been announced, but it was re
ported at Paris that lie was the bearer of a treaty signed
by Louis IS, on the 27th of June. It was asserted tuat
his absence from P»ris was not to last more than fifteen
“iJavs.
Intelligence had reached England of the renewal of the
Nepau| war, but their advices from India w ere still not

‘ Various parts of Holland were suffering greatly from
an inundation. Many of the dykes were overflowed, and
vast tracts of land were under water. The crops were
entirely destroyed.
The pirates, according to an article from Naples, have
'already felt the vengeance of the Christian arm. A Nea
politan ship of the line and two frigates, are said to have
had an encounter with a squadron of pirates, w hich they
"defeated completely. A Barbarian corsair has been sunk
before Marietta.
Mr. Gallatin, our minister to France, arrived at Paris,
-July 12. It was rumored that an exchange of ratifica
tions df a treaty of commerce between the United States
-and Russia was to be made at Paris.
Lovdon, July 15.
Rear admiral Milne, who is to supercede admiral Grif
fiths at Halifax, goes in the fil-st instance with lord Ex-
■inouth to the Mediterranean, and from thence will pro-
■•ceed to Nova-Scotia.
July 17.
The Moniteur contains a despatch from the British
vice-consul -at Trepani, in Sicily, to the vice-consul at Pa
lermo, giving an account of the massacre of the English
at Bona. The reason given by the Barbarians was, that
the dey of Algiers had declared war against the English,
on account of a demand made by lord Exmoulh to burn
the Algerine fleet. We are happy to hear that several
vessels have landed in the gulph of Macedonia persons
who escaped from the massacre, both of Algiers and Tu
nis.
It seems strange, however, that the flag of France
should be respected by these pirates. A French ship from
Cyprus was chased by a Barbary frigate, till the latter
perceived she had the white flag hoisted, when she hauled
her wind and stood away.
The French funds are rather lower, 10 J.
We suppose lord Exmouth will sail about the .end of
the month.
The Dutch it is said, also the Neapolitan squadron, will
co-operate with our’s. The former was at Gibraltar on
the I7th of last month, having just returned from Al
giers. It lay for several days in the Bay of Algiers, re-
connoitering the fortress, and endeavoring to induce
some Algerine ships to come out from under their bat
teries to fight him. A tremenduous fire was opened up
on them, and kept up for two days, with out doing the
least injury, although a vast number of shells went over
his ships. Some of the boats were manned to cut out
during the night an Algerine brig, when about forty or
fifty gun-boats armed with long thirty-six and forty-two
pounders, filled out the harbor, came to her protection,
and exhausted all their ammunition in the wildest man
ner, without occasioning to the Dutch any loss whatso
ever. •
The admiral, we learn, has since |been reinforced at
Gibraltar, by the Amstel, a fine frigate, and is w aiting for
the arrival of two line of battle slaps and a frigate from
Holland.
Our private correspondence mentions some circum
stances which come in aid of the speculation we hazard
ed a few days ago, that Turkey would not view the de
struction of the power of these Barbarians with satisfac
tion. The Turkish agents at Paris endeavor to paliate
their conduct. The Algerines have not suffered any in
telligence to be despatched from Algiers since the 23d
of May. This is to conceal the real state of affairs.
Paris, Jfily 6.
Many English of distinction continue to arrive at Pa
lis. A great number take apartments in Paris, or coun
try houses for the whole of the fine season. After the
peace of Amiens, the English came to visit the capital and
our provinces, but only with distrust and under the in
fluence of a powerful curiosity. They now come to
study our manners, our customs, our language, our ur
banity and our arts, and do so like good neighbors, sin
cerely reconciled.
The accounts from the southern departments announce,
that new rye is already in the market; the vineyards are
superb, the blossoms have experienced no check, and the
vintage will be most abundant. The silk-worm harvest
has been very good: the p- ds have been sold at forty-
two francs the pound, and the mulberry leaves twenty-
six francs-the quintal.
Parts, July 13.
Notwithstanding the cry throughout F.urop* which the
late atrocities of the Algeruies have excited against them
and of which your journal has been the eloquent inter
preter, there are not wanting individuals here, connect

lic a palliative statement in their behalf. Friendly to

Oil Great Britain, whose na
supplied with whatever it stood in need during many cri
tical and protracted wars (aud never more signally than
during the late one) they advance that lord Exmouth,
on his first cruise to Algiers, expressly authorised their
odious commerce of Christian slaves, by purchasing with
all the requisite solemnities the Sardinians at a price
agreed on. That on his re-appearance some time after,
he assumecfa tone of hostility and menace, demanded the
liberty of the Neapolitans unransomed, and the entire
abolition of their antique commerce. The dey protest
ed he could not, without consulting the grand Seignor
agree to terms so injurious to their united interests, and
requested time for that mission. The British admiral,
they pretended, replied that if in twenty four hours a fa-
voraole answer was not received, the town should be
bombarded. The dey having deliberated with his coun
cil, and their advice being unanimous, expected the at
tack on the town, and considered the two countries as
in a state of war—It was in this interim the dey issued an
order to secure the persons of those employed in the
fisheries at Bona, to the execution of which' opposition
being made, blood was spilt on both sides. Shortly af
ter lord Exmouth, contrary to the expectation of the
authoritiesat Algiers, renewed negociations, and a cer
tain number of Neapolitans were actually leberated,
though at a higher taritt’ than had been set on the Sardi
nians before. A counter order was now despatched to
Bona, but arrived unfortunately' too late. Lord Ex-

they have had time to remove into the interior their most

Italy has been hitherto without any road of communi

however very great. The generosity of our sovereign is
now going to bestow on us the important benefit of a
commercial road, and his majesty has assigned a very
considerable sum trom the royal treasury for that pur
pose.
This new road will begin from Varese, and extend to
the bridge over the river Iresa, where the Swiss territory
begins. Its length will be 25,374 metres.

THE DEY OF ALGIERS—
Force of the Algerines.
L.ovnox, July 8.
The dey of Algiers is said to be a man of good under
standing, grave and deliberate in council, and of quick
penetration. He was uga, or general of the array, be
fore his elevation. Whilst our ships were endeavoring
to work up to tiie batteries, lie was day and uight at his
post, examining his defences; he was ’ found upon the
shore by the officer who went to demand the council.—
He had only reigned a year. His immediate predecessor
governed but a few months, when he was strangled, be
ing, as he was told in councd to consider, himself only a
locum tenons until a better person could tie choseji; the
custom of the country forbade that he should live, for
no one, having once filled tiie office, can revert to fab
former station aSa subject; and no age, former qualifica
tions, or past services, caa release Huff from the cruel
penalty of this barbarous custom—nor can he refuse to
serve when chosen. In fact, the Janissaries, (Turkish
troops) are the governors of die country; they, destroy
by tiie edge of the scimitar, all those acts of the dey and
divan that are opposed to their barbarous prejudices
and cruel feelings. The present force of these lawless
despots at Algiers, is computed at about 15,000 men.—
They hold the Moors, (the natives of the country) in
complete .subjection; but the Jewsstill'more so—Whilst
our squadron lay there, three Jews were bumf to death,
because they were insolvent; but before they had half ex
ecuted their cruelty, it was discovered that one of them
was innocent of the ^Hedged, crime.
Algiers has all the appearance of a well fortified town;
it is defended by about 1000 pieces of ordinance, of
every calibre—three hundred of winch are brass. ’ The
place is surrounded by a high wail, the southern side of
which is adorned with men’s heads—trophies of their
cruelty'. Thehouses are built remarkably dose to each
other. The country is veiy productive, producing gen,
erally two crops in a year. Tunis has a striking, beauli-

It is really' now become a melancholy diity whicn the
journalist lias to perform, in recording the daily failure
of some great house, upon whicli so many respectable
persons must be dependent. The casual reader passes
over in one short paragraph the information which is to
ent-ui misery on thousands. Let him pause for a mo
ment when congratulating hiniSvlt, as escaped from tiie
it reek, to reflect on the agony which the same informa
tion may carry to many worUiv families, wno, in a sin
gle moment, are precipitated from ail their innocent and
virtuous enjoyments, to absolute ruin, Without comfort
and without hope! And yet there are men hardly enough
to condemn aiiii to reilicule every appeal for releuchment!

AFFAIRS IN AFRICA.
Los mix, July 14.
Advices have reached town from Cape Coast Castle to
the 22d of April last. For some time previous to that
date, considerable alarm had been excited in the Fantee
country, inhabiting the sea-coast, and among the iiriusu
residents at the several settlements, at tile hostue appear
ance of the Asliantee army, which had encamped at the
back of Accra, and being determined on coming imo the
Fantee country for the purpose, as the leader stated, of
possessing himself of the persons of Quow, Saffa iuu - cu ie,
Cudjcs, Coomah and Coffee, Ashantee-men, whose con
duct had given much offence to the king of Asliantee.—
The Asliantee forces, amounting to upwards of twenty
thousand men, w ere met by the people of Adjumoucooa
and Agoonah, who, after lighting bravely', were entirely
routed, with the loss of many killed and several made
prisoners. The Ashantees had also many killed. The
Fantees, on learning the approach of the Ashantees, as
sembled in great numbers, to give them battle; but their
resolution failed them, and they were happy to save them
selves by flight. Men, women and children, fled in
crowds to Cape Coast Castie for shelter; and abou the
14th, the Ashantees still continuing to proceed towards
the coast, messengers were sent by the governor in
chief of the British settlements, to the captain to inquire
the cause of his approach. The answer returned was to
the purport, that lie was determined to pursue Quow,
Saffaroutchie, Cudjce, Coomah and Coffee^ Ashantee-men,
to whatever place they might retreat; in fact, tiiat should
they tnrow themselves into the sea, bury themselves in
the earth, or secret themselves in a rock, thither would
he follow them.
On a conference being obtained, the captain of the
Ashantee army was assured that the men he was in quest
of, were not in Cape Town. Being satisfied on this
point, the captain had nothing further to require than
that certain persons fie should name, acquainted with the
refugees and the manner of their escape, might attend
him in search for tiie runaways. After some prelimina
ries were agreed to, the persons accompanied tiie cap
tain. Up to the 2lst of August, the refugees had not
been found: bui though the people of Cape Coast Town
and the Fantees had been so fortunate as to make their
peace With the Ashantees, by payiug to them one hun
dred ounces or gold, anil reciprocal oaths of friendship
were the consequence, the army winch was then in camp

men.

AN IMPORTANT CAUTION.
Ladies who are accustomed to wear their dresses
tr?mely low in the back and bosom, or off the shoulders
are particularly requested to beware of a person,
who has for some tirtie past frequented all pLces of
public amusement, and many private parties. He is an
elderly gentleman, of v eneraole appearance and correct
manners; his constant practice, when he observes a ladv
dressed in the manner above described, is, with an al.

BARBARY STATES.
A letter is published in the London Courier, relati' e
to the late British transactions in the Mediterranean —
It states that lord Exmouth’s fleet went a second time to
Algiers, for the purpose of obtaining a revision of tie
treaty which the dey had made with America, respecting
the sale of prizes in his ports. The dey is said to ha«
replied to the question, that the treaty he had recent!y
made with that nation was at an end; that if they chute
not to abide by the old one, he would agree to no other.
Lord Exmouth proposed to the dey a treaty similar to
that made at Tuni3 and Tripoli, for'doing away wi ll
slavery altogether. The dey has signified nis unwikinb’"
ness to comply, but requested three months to make up
his determination.—f\'em-York Gazette, August 28.
COBBETT’S NEW YORK REGISTER.
We are hippy to understand that the numbers of Cch-
bett’s Register^ which, for some weeks past, have be a
wanting, are at length arrived. Speculation tiad been u-
sy with regard to the defalcation or delay in this publica
tion; some supposed the Register had been seized on ts
route, others that Cobbett had given it up in disgust
frqm the idea that it would not be lucrative. It appears,
however, that all our speculators were wrong, and that
tiie Register will continue on, interrupted, perhaps some
times, as it has been lately, by long passages, or other ac
cidents. Seven additional numbers, we understand, are
now received.—Jhew York Motional Advocate,
A letter from Paris of the 6th of July, is published in
