It is said marshals Savary and Lallemand had Ottered the service of the dey of Algiers. London, August 31. According to letters from Naples, the Ame ricans demand from the present king an island, as indemnity forth* confiscation of Murat.— The only country which would suffer from such an irrangemept would be England. They say that the approaching return of gen. Maitland to Italy, has reference to these de mands on Naples. It is not verv clear that we have a right to ^interfere in this quarrel. As to the property confiscated in France. Spain and Naples, under 'the Rerlin and Milan decrees, no doubt it was iini ustlv taken. But why did not the Americans insist on satisfaction from those who did the tfrnng? 'Vhat have the actual kings of Spain and Naples to do with the affairs of king Joseph ait king Joachim? The Americans have, the first iiu’n ■ f a.no'ng (hem—may they indemnify them- .seB'e- upon his person and h:s treasures.^—As to pa >r Joachim lie has submitted to a destiny to which gentlemen oi his profession are fated, lie no linger owes any thing. At the same time, if we are not obliged to protect the Nea noiitans, we may regret that they are not in a better situation for protecting themselves However, if there vet remains at Naples, Arne Jrican property under sequestration, it ought t.< be restored its owners. .At three o’clock yesterday morning a grea <[u<tntity of snow fell’in the environs of London Sentember 6.

Some lie!.eve it not to be necessary to send out 18000 meT1 _*j£her9 pretend that the embarrassments of the treasury will not permit conveniently the equipment of all the corps which were to have been embarked. Sicily, August 10. The English mercantile houses here (22) have a dispute with the government which demands of them imposts on goods which tliey consider ed free by the edict of 1784. The government threatens to confiscate all their merchandise in the custom-house stores if tliey do not pay the imposts. The merchants have sent a deputa tion to London on the subject, at the head of it is Mr. Baker, the British consul. , Paris, September 8. One Cloud Lanclan was to be tried for a po litical crime. Auguste Leblanc was an essen tial witness against him. He is a domestic of the duke olTtugusa, The court sent for him. The duke seat word lie was sick and could not attend.

TURKEY. Constantinople, July 25. On the 16 th the marquis de la Reviere am bassador of Louis 18th, had his public |udience of the sublime sultan. The ceremonies consum ed the time of twelve fatiguing hours. The presents made, consisted of rich diamonds, chan deliers, cloths superbly embroidered, and nu* merous s»mpHfS of French manufactures. The sultan expressed his satisfaction on the ^-'estab lishment of the Bourbons, and the renewal of tiie long-existing amity between Francje and the Gttuuiaa Porte, Tiie Austrian slaves which have been set st liberty bv the dev, were delivered over to the Austrian ambassador. Vienna, August 18. It is now reported, diaf Vis majesty the empe ror will lead to the imperial throne, the duchess Amelia- Ade!ai>le-Louisa-Theresa-Caroline, of Sa\ '-Meinuiigen, the sister to the reigning duke.

The French expedition bound to Pondicherry, stooped at St. Tago. June 12. where the white liag was hoisted. The civil and military govern ors made many vi-itstothe administrators of the king, while the vessels Rtv at St. Jasro. After replenishing their provisions, the expedition set sail June 27. A vessel sailed from Stockholm, August 20. for Algiers, bearing a cargo of iron, planks, &c. as a nreseut from the Swedish government. The Portuguese squadron Inrving on board 5000 troops, sailed from Rio Janeiro, for Monte Viedo. June 13. It was thought that that city would surrender to them without resistance.— The princesses were to embark in a ship of the line, June 27, which was to he accompanied by a Spanish frigate. The Puissant, 74, was sold Sep'ember 2. for 1500/. on! y. Three per cent, stocks, September 9, 62 1 -2.' The portion of Hungari • territory called the Dittoral, which was ceiled by the emperor of Austria, to Bonaparte, is not restored to Hun gary, but makes a part of the new kingdom of llivria. The Hungariansaredispleased with the area" geinent. It was rumored at Vienna, August28, though nothingoifiv ial had been published on the subject, that the marriage of trje emperor with the prin cess Amelia oi Saxony, would be celebrated in November. Madame Catalina was at Frankfort Septem ber 3; where »he was about to give iier third con cert. The duke of'Wellington was expected to re view ail the carps of tiie army of observation dur ing the month of September. The king of Candy was embarked on board the Cornwallis. January 24, to be transported to Madras. His two wives and his mother-in-law accompanied him. Th conducting the wives of the king to the Cornwallis, great care was taken to observe the ceremonies which at e practiced towards \xouien of a distinguished rank, of which they are extremely jealous. As to the king, every hostile disposition towards him ceas ed from the moment he became an English pri soner, and every thing was granted him which could agree with his security; he was conducted to the place of embarkation, in the governor’s own carriage, and his wives in palanquins; they were carefully veiled when they entered their ship, and while the preparations for sailing were made—the king never quitted them, and gave disorders to all his people with much calmness and dignity, lie was superbly dressed. The women were received first, the king stepped last on board. Every tiling went on with the order i id regularity which is always to be seen in an high-Ji ship of the line. Some women were ery much alarmed, and some appeared to feel severely the *ea-sickness—die king, on tiie con trary. shewed no fears oi ii,and behaved in every tiling.like a man. Naples. August 16. We are here ignorant of what is thought in France arid England of Mr. Pinkney's demand; but here we are astonished that it was not ad dressed to Murat. Three of the vessels which are claimed, and which are still in the harbour of Naples, will probably be restored: for our government wishes not to oe enriched by the wealth of others. The Americans do evfirv thing in their power to engage the Neapolitans to quit their beauti ful country for the borders of the Ohio—which has determined our police s > erely to forbid all communication with the American squadron, whose flag seems to iloat proudly over our chan- uel. Although, from motives of economy, our gov ernment lias disarmed airnoSt all our ships of war, and especially the Saint Ferdinand, which brought back the prince royal to Naples, it does not neglect tiie means of defending the port, which lias given rise to many reports as alarm ing as they are ill-founded. At any rate the disarming our fleet, in the present state of af fairs, is not universally approved of—we should, in general, have preferred seeing the land army diminished. It appears certain that the Austrian genera count Nugent has accepted at last the command of our artny. He appeared in the Neapolitan uniform at the last audieuce of the king. The conditions on which he has accepted are not yet known—but it is not doubted that they will be advantageous to the army and the kingdom.' Trinutut “In addition to the late decisive defeat sus tained bv the Insurgent army uoiler Bolivar, at Ocumara, published in our last, we have now to communicate the total defeat, or rather des truction of another division of the same Insur gent arm v, under the command of sir Gregory M-Gre gor, who was also slain, and his body (salted) sent to Caraccas to be exposed.

Th-Spanish insurgent cruisers desolate our coast, ami ti.ke all the arms and munitions of war they find. They destroy and burn the objivis belonging to the govern ment that they cannot carry off. They are seconded bv some Italians and'Spauiards.who are refugees in our isles. The government have taken measures with a view of destioying these pirates, hut they remain without effect. These brigands even desire to be attacked; their audacity is equal io the ancient bucatuers. They seek always to excite the inhabitants to revolt, and to embrace the cause of independence. Tliey spread proclamations tending to inspire hatred of the legitimate government. But they make no dupes. The most intrepid of these brigands is Alonzo de Barton, who commands the Capaji- to. Many merchants have offered to arm for the gene ral deft nee; but nothing is decided. 0 « Extract of a letter from Cadiz, Sept. 3. FROM THE HOC8K OF MEADE, CATHCART & CO. “There not being any good flour in afloat, by the time you receive this, we expect the prices will be- much better than they have been this year. Rice and tobacco are likewise expected to rise, but the cotton must alwi- be shipped so as it may be sent to Gibraltar, if necessar*, otherwise the purchasers here would take advantage in ‘.lie price as no depot is allowed, as formerly.” Captain Spafford, of the ship Eagle, arrived at Phila delphia from Bordeaux, furnishes the following intelli gence, important to owners and masters of vessels : All vessels trading to the port of Bordeaux, should be provided with a duplicate manifest of the goods on board ready made, to be inspected and signed by the first custom-house officers that visit the vessels after they get into the river.
