and that at the fame time Mr.
Addington killed his hand cn
receiving them. This event at
once puts an end to all the idle
rumours of Mr. Pitt’s continu
ing in office, which have pre
vailed for two or three days pail,
for which there has been no
foundation, and to which we
never gave the lead credit.
The American agents at Pa

of the United States that the
Bey of Tripoli had, on the 3d

WASHINGTON, April 24
A gentleman in London, hy the
1 Packet , writes to his friend in
this city , in the following man
ner : '
“ The report refpeding the
change in the miniffry, is as
follows :—That the Duke of
York and Mr. Pitt have had,
firff, a difpute, and then a vio
lent quarrel, in the courfe of
which, it is laid, the Duke
charged Mr. Pitt with not only
haying ruined the country, but
that he would bring his father,
(the King) and family into ruin
along with him ; that Mr. Pitt,
in his turn, charged the Duke
with being a coward, and the
. caule of the failure of the late
expedition to Holland. Upon
this, it is faid, the Duke drew
his fword, and would have run
Mr. Pitt through, had not the
Prince of Wales, who w r as pre
fent, haftily ffepped in and pre
vented it. T his is the report;
therefore I give it to you as re
port only. This is laid to have
happened three or four days
previous to the rumour of Mr.
Pitt’s refignation ; after which
a cabinet council was held, in
v. hick Mr. Piet was out-voted
by one, and then he refigned.
The dilputc above-menti
oned between the Duke of York
and Mr. Pitt is faid to have arifen
from this circumffance. The
Duke of York was for fending
the fupplementary militia out
. of the kingdom, and for order
ing out the volunteer corps to
h£ embodied and to do duty in
their (lead. Mr. Pitt was deci
dedly againff the meafure, being
contrary to the faith and affu
tances of government when they
''Vere firff trained to arms ; and
further, that it would moft affu
tedly caufe an infurredlion of
|he people. This produced
high words, from whence the
Quarrel arofe, and the violence
that followed.”
GEORGETOWN, May i.
The
outrageous conduct of
Ge Regency of Algiers rn the
rale of the American frigate,
j eorge Wafhington, and the
demands of the Bafhaw
G 1 ripoli, muff excite a general
Motion of indignation in this
1 r ’untry. That populous, veal-
Gy and warlike nations fhould
a y a price for peace with a few
petty Kates of barbarur.* ine?
pirates on the ccaff of Africa,
is in itfelf fufficient to excite
affonifhmcnt and feern. * But
their favorable fituation for pi
racy, the nature of their coun
try, their connexion with the
Ottoman Porte, the defperate
valor of their fcamen, the (la
very to which they (object their
captives, and other caufcs, long
fince induced moft of the nations
of Europe to purchafe peace.
T he fame reafonsand lomc others
led the United States to follow
a policy from which general
cuffom had taken off the infa
my. But now we find that our
flag is outrageoufly cfifgraced,
that new tribute is infolently de
manded, that their injuftice is
as capricious as it is extravagant,
that our commerce is infccure
and our citizens expofed to (la
very upon every frefh wifli of
avarice, of new whim of aim off
unbounded infolence. Where
will this feene of extortion and
arrogance on one fide and fub
miffion and humiliation on the
other ceafe ? It is cafy to fee
that it will continue and
until thefe villains feel our pow
er, arc impreffed with fomc ref
pe<sl for our ffrength, and per
ceive that if they exceed a cer
tain limit in their demands, they
fhall find not tribute but chaftife
ment.
When wc firff ageed to make
them frefents , we were without
a (hip of war ; we have now' a
naval force competent to wipe
away the ignominy which lies
upon us, to reprefs their info
lence, to prevent our commerce
becoming their prey, and at
leaff induce them to keep w'ithin
feme bounds in their villainy.
