The Flanders mail contains the following important intelligence, under the date oj Rome, Nov 2i-* ( It is asserted that the Ministers lof the great pknvers have deliver ed to his Eminence the Cardinal Secretary of State, the treaty of j alliance relative to the war against j the Barbary powers, and that it has been ratified, by all the Sov ereigns, in their quality of Grand Masters of the several religious and military orders in their do mhiions. By this act the powers engage nolonly to put an end to the white slave trade, which the African governments carry on with equal insolence and impuni ty ; but in order to prevent the return of acts of violence which disgrace humanity, the powers also declare, that they will estab lish there the form of govern | nent which shah afford the best | guarantee. The contingent of 1 the troops for this new species of ■ war will be the same, and no one will be permitted, under any pre tence whatever, to keep a greater number of troops than is fixed by the treaty. All the troops shall Have the same uniform. His Ho liness the Pope shall be at liberty to send a Legate, but who shall not interfere in temporal matters. This treaty, which consistsof 133 articles, fixes, that all the Chris r'*ans shall be set at liberty, and cannot make a part of the army destined to occupy the country. The Sublime Porte, it is said, re mains neuter in this war, and will receive guarantees for his Euro ! nean possessions.
