This government immediately determined to re cetve her with the greatest possi ble honors—in consequence of this, as soon as she came oh shore the forts of Goleta gave a royal salute, arid the palace cf the Ba khaw in this city was destined for her residence, with a guard of Ma melukes corresponding to her dignity. . ... On the sth, the French Consul began to negociate a peace, and to treat for the ransom of the Nea politan slaves, by order of his Government and the authority of that, of napies The Bth, Her Royal Highness went to the Bardo to visit the Bashaw, the prince*, his sons, & the seraglio; and thy exerted themselves so much in shewing her attention, that the Princess Was greatly satisfied With her good reception, and very great ful for the liberty that was given from respect to her, to several kilsVSS* The l6th, Her Royal High ness went to see the rums of'U-j tica, took refreshments and spent, she night in a handsome country : seat,’that the sort of the Bashaw, | Sidi has in that place ;, this prince himselfcondesending to the European usages, endea vored to p\y all due honors to! the Princess* The i2th, Her Royal High-! tiess was to go to a splendid ban quet m Manuba garden and pal-! ace of the Bashaw, when there! appeared in the morning at an chor at the bar of Goleta, an En glish fleet Consisting of six ships cf the line, one of them a three dicker, uVo frigates, one corvette, fivr brigs, one schooner and three! transports., commanded by the | Adm.ral Lord Ex mouth, and by I the Rear-Admiral Penrose. The’ princess manifested that she had ! tiotning to do wkh political as-1 fairs, and that slie wished to at-1 tend the invitation of the which was done, and to her great | satisfaction she was received and’ i fttertained with the highest’ marks of consideration and res*j pect by all the sons of the Bash-; aw and the whole court of Bar dp, dressed with the greatest’ splendor and elegance. (To.the 15th, in the mofriirig, * the Admiral Lord Expiouth, j went cm shore, and proceeded im ■ | raediately, accompanied by the; English Consul to* the Bardo., lie had an audiarice of the Bash-1 aw, r*r;d ; during a conference of t vo hours He insisted on the’ Ibl ii >vving'pretmsions > Ist The liberty of pH the slates Without exception—Sch An cx £j*roL?rv punishment of the Tu- I m •r lr nisiih Ccinmandef, Who With corsairs, committed the bst tnva siba 6ri the Island of St Amteo, wider the English Hag, notwith ! standing the produsfc I'm had made a few days before to'the Command der of an English vessel, that he \vou& nest attempt ahy landing— 3d. That they should no more make slaves, and only prisoners of war; and, 4th. “Ihat they should settle a peaSe with His Sicilian Majesty, and with his ‘Sardinian Majesty, by the media, lion of England. These conditions could not fail of producing surprise and temper in the Bashaw 4 therefore he in stantly answered that he did not fear threats, and that he would endeavor to repel force by force 1 ; but after a Inomeht of reflections he said, theft he would refuse no thing to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and that be was disposed to grant to her the Sardinian Slaves, ifit should be agreeable to her to accept them. , The Admiral insisted, that they should be granted to him & not to the Princess. The Bash* aw likewise observed that Gene ral Maitland, when he passed through this place, shewed the powers he had of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to treat upon political affairs with the States of Barbary, and that he himself positively declared that the intenticn's of the English Gov ernment Were, not to interned tile in any affairs but those of her own nation: Consequently he j presumed Lord Exiriouth could 1 only now be st negociator &s the States of the King of Naples and that cFSaruini& { and that he must have ihstrucUoris posterior to those of the French consul, til or der to cause him to suspend his negociations. The Admiral cut short these reasonings, declaring, that if in 24 hours he did riot grant him what he demanded, he would pursiie another method to obtain his purpose* and went a way. , / Having arrived at Tunis he proceeded to visit Her Royal Highness, who intended to go the following day to an ancient tem ple, about tWelve leagues distant from Tunis, at a place called £d giiiil. In Consequence of a con ference that took pla(;e, Her Roy al Highness ordered immediate ly that her baggage and atten dants should be embarked. The B&shaW being informed of so sudden a determination, sent word to her Highness, that whatever might be the result of the serious differences than he had with the Admiral of her na tion, those would in no mariner have any influence upon the at tendons clue to her Royal Person, and that she might without the least fear continue to reside in that country, being assured of e~ vef being treated with the utmost distinction and respect In the same afternoon the Princess be ing With the Admiral, the orders and instructions cf the French Consul relative to the affairs of Naples were exhibited to them. It seems thet Lord Exmouth “re gretted njuch the like dispositions Borirs, ‘the pashkvy sent his an- j ‘sWerlolhe Admiral, staling that he wduld hy fco ‘means yield by j •force the Nepoliian slaves, be | cause the Court oT Na"ple?> itself offered him a r&risom ihrorigh the | Medium of the French Corisfcl Measures wfetfc immediately Ita-j Ten by the English Consul, to catfse dll Captains, Merchants, &; other persons that resided there j to go on board the Vessels, and ] the ships and frigates v/cre placed j ih a line of battle. On the other Vide the Timitian gun boats and; the batteries of Goieta were get ting ready. In this confusion the soldiery began to give signs flat, as soon as the first gun should be discharged, the situation of me Christians would be very grievous For they would be sacrificed. However Lord Exmouth, re quested another audience of the Bashaw for the following day, ( Ap-15,) at 6A.M. He had for an answer that, that being an in* ‘convenient Hour he could not re ceive him, and it was deferred till S, aroi in tie mean time the Eng lish continued to prepare in order to depart. The Princess was aiso next morning to go on board. Her Royal Highness regretted very much that that these evenA; should oblige Her to such a pre cipitate departure, vvithout being able to take leave oi] and express her thanks to the BaShaw, who defrayed entirely the daily ex penses of the Princess, from the day that she deigned to inhab it his Palace. bn the 16 th, the Aditiifal Went to see the Bashaw, having alrea dy written a letter to the Firench j Consul, informing him that ne j wished him not to continue his \ negotiation for the ransom of the j Neapolitan slaves. In short, af ter die ixiost serious and warm dis cussions. Lord Exmotuh ob tained the liberty without any taft somy of the Sardinian captives, & f under the promise of a present, the Ncapolnan captives Were al so set at liberty; the Bashaw don descending finally to admit the mediation of England, in order to settle a definitive peace between His Sicilian Majesty and His Sardinian Majesty with that Re gency. - No mention is made of the un fortunate Remans and Tuscans; who are groaning in the servitude of Tunis. *** ‘"idiOJf Tffk jWiiORJt.
