IVn'IS, April 17.
Her Royal Highness the Prin
cess of Wales arrived at this port
the 3d instant in ariEnglrshmer
chant vessel. 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

Ist The liberty of pH the slates
Without exception—Sch An cx

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.

“This country is in a worse
state than when I last wrote you.
There have been some serious
movements at Grenoble. It ap

in that quarter where two precip

said, of the patriots were left on
the field of battle; and about
twelve hundred were taken pris
oners arid put tb death by a fu*
silade, without trial. Such is the
report. What the real state aiid
