Captain Bond, of the British brig Peter Ellis, from Guadeloupe, informs that the French Governor, leirdnozi, had arrived at Guadeloupe, and took p os . session of that island on the 25th of July. =TRACT OF A LICITIR FROM HALIFAX, DATED Auo, Our letters from the United States represent every thing dull. So great is the stagnation o f tra d e , that but very few of the merchant vessels are etri ploysd. Most of our countrymen who have emi.. gr eed, are said to be in a most deplorable state t a number of them have applied to the different British Consuls, to be sent borne as distressed British subjects. To alleviate our neighbours' distresses, in part, some of our leading Ines, we'are sorry to hear, are sending t h e i r mon ey Ont of the province, to invest in .Ame rican Bank Stock; and are such acts justifiable?"' • General Toledo, by an article frOm Alexandria of nth August, had arrived in that place. This Officer sommanded a' part of the Revolutionary force in. South America. He was accompanied by his Se cretary and another Gentleman. They came passen gers, we understand. with Captain Grinnolds, from New Orleans, where an attempt had been made by sortie of the emissaries of the old Government to as. sessinate him. from which he narrowly escaped, a bill passing through the cuff of his coat. The object of his visit to Alexandria was a pro. Round secret. Time appeared little doubt it related tofurthering the views of the Revolutionists, although it is said he has declined the services of many indivi duals, and appeared averse to private conversation. • On the 2d January he was denounced by D. Orrris, " a trsitor o who was preparing an expedition at New _Orleans. against the dominion of the Xing, his master." The Baden Daily Arivartiror of the 18th ultimo, contains the following " HALIFAX, AUGUST e. " Arrived the schooner Four Sons, Kelly, ten days ftem Boston, with flour and sheep on deck : a scheoner from Quoddy, with a car4o of timber, re ported the brig Prince of Waterloo, WALKER, thittpjF/0 days from Annatto Bay, (Jamaica), wit) rwae, rum, coffee, &c. for Quebec, on C.e ah si, rata, Cape Antonio, be *ring due west, at two P.. discovered seven sail of vessels (six achoJurrs and one brig) two of whom bore down and boarded us s which proved to be Spaniards; the next day saw the same vessels, three of them again stood for us an.-1 fired a gun, which passed over as ; sent their boats and left 24 Spaniards on board, armed with swords, pistols and cutlasses ; took charge of the brig, sent the Master, with his papers. on board the Commodore, and made the Mate and crew prisoners on deck. " They then proceeded to rob the vessel, broke open the Captain's trunk, from which they toot 1500 in gold; stole the Mate and mein' clothes, broke the Captain's quadrant, and swore they would mnr. der every damned Englishman on board. One of the schooners had a Cross in her foretop.sail. and wet thought to be the privateer Industry, formerly of Baltimore." No particulars are known by Government respect lag the attack on Algiers beyond those which we yesterthy laid before our Readers; nor is it probable that Ministers will publish any thidg on the subject till the Official Account, which was sent of by Lord EXMOUTH on the 9Sth ultimo, shall reach them.— The French Consul's account was dated the Slst. Expecting the bombardment, it is possible he had tetiredinte the country. Algiers lies on the side of a mountain rising rather abruptly from the sea, with strong batteries, especially to the westward. The country houses of the Consuls are mostly on a hill to the eastward of the town. The Algerines were assisted in their defence by some Europeans, chief y french, among whom are. reckoned 56 Officers of Artillery, and 18 of Engi neers l • but nothing could with s ta n d the destructive ITS of the cannon, the bombs, and the rockets, abowred upon the place by the British men of war. What terms can his Lordship have given to such * faithless 'brute as the Dux of As GIZNS 1 is the ques 60A in every one's mouth. If his Highness is to be permitted again to navigate the Mediterranean the work must again be repeated. Does his Lordship proceed also to Tunis ? Report says, that this is a point decided on. - Much as we hope for the termination of that dread ful quern of piracy and slavery which has braved the resentment of Christendom since the time of liAlliattnssa, and greatly as we applaud the man ner in which our Navy is now employed, we do not hesitate to lay, that a new order of things can al* be established to render the navigation of that' inland sea safe to all nations, and prevent it from 'Pin becoming the theatre of Mnssulman insult, cruelty, and "Wage; if the bombardment of Algiers is the only achievement to be attemptel.

By the ORPHEUS ' from Rio Janeiro, we have re. ceived accounts to the 21st of July, which throw some light on the warlike preparations and future , views tithe Portuguese in that quarter of the world., We some days ago had occasion to notice, that Corn+ modore Bowmor, in the Minima frigate, had carried out instructions to remonstrate against the projected descent of the Brazil troops on the territory of L 4 Plata, but we expressed our dread of his erriving too' late, after so long a detention at Portsmoeth He, however, arrived four days after the eepedition had sailed, and immediately a cotter was sent atter its and the result was, that all the troops, baggage, can. non stores, icc. were landed in the Island of St. Ca' therine's, the troops put into barracks, and the stores llodgedin magazines. The hired neutral transports were paid off, so that the threatened invasion of the Eastern side of La Plata is man end for the present: From .this it appears that Ministers are not so indif. 'trent to the affairs of the Western World as some of our contemporaries would insinuate; and as the same people maintain they ought to be. It now appears beyond doubt, that one of the mar riage conditions between Spain and Portugal was, that the latter theuld reconquer Buenos Ayres on account of the gust, as an equivzjat for the dowries the two Paptcasses were to carry with them. Had this been the case, what would /11", become of our trade there ? If Spain is too illiberal to accept the mediation' of Great Britain, why is Portugal to in terfere in an hostile manner The Portuguese PAINCESULS left Rio Janeiro (or .Cadiz on the Sd of July, in a Portuguese man of war, accompanied by two frigates, one of which was Spa nish.

Goveraor 'Corairueoos had declined complying with the orders he carried out to shut up the port. He found the Creole party too strong l'or a measure so detrimental to the interests of the island, and the 1,000 men besides who had ac companied him, were wanted in' Mexico. With them Admiral APADACA sajled for Vera Cruz, he having been named Viceroy of New Spain.

A letter on this important subject has just been published, addressed to Lord ELDON, whom the writer considers princip a lly i ntereste d i n the future discos. sion of this question from the high office he holds under the Crown and the responsibility naturally at tached to him for the propriety of the proposal and its ultimate success. The question itself is considged in the two only modes in which it appears it can • possibly be brought before the public, as, towever congenial a proceeding by bill of attainder might be, it could not be tolerated in the present age. The first inquiry is, o whether his ROYAL figniNess and the PPINCEsS are to be considered as private persons, and whether the measure itself could be brought forward, before the Ecclesiastical Court A clooht presents itself here, viz. whether the Ecclesiastical Court has any jurisdiction 1 If it has, then the Princess must necessarily be entitled to the ordinary defence em ployed in that Court, viz. recrimination." The writer *inks it morally impossible that his Lordship could advise the Pawn to commence a suit, in which :1 defence of such a nature might be employed. He next supposes that the measure would be bronet.t forward on the Statate of Treasons, the 25th of Edward 111. which declares, that if a roan defile the companion of the King's eldest son and heir, he shall be deemed guilty of high treason." Suppose the offence charged as having been corn.. mitted in a foreign country, and by an alien who consequently never owed any allegiance' to the Kin?,,, how can the offender be said to have violated his allegiance, having Dever owed any I and of course he having thus Committed no crime how can the Pawns be considered as partaker of that crime ? Besides, in the statute above quoted, the wife of the King's eldest son is described as .44 his Companion ;'• but she PRINCESS, it is well known, was separated from his R*'YAL HLOHNIXA by articles, which un doubtedly wee ratified by Parliament in their voting her a separate establishment. Certainly the ?meets, under such circumstances, and especially residing oat of the realm, with the consent " an d by special licence of his ROYAL Hiourasss, could not with any propriety be called his companion. The writer then observes, that by advising his ROYAL Himniass to permit the PRINCESS to reside abroad, his Lordship has deprived her of that salutary safeguard by which the severity of the above statute is mitigated. Would his Lord.. ship act in such a manner with any Ward of Chair, eery If not, why then be less attentive to the PNINCEIs, and why deprive her of the protection that, is legally entitled to by the wise provisions of Par liament I The exclusion of her Royal Highness from the QUEEN'S Drawing-room necessarily disgraced her, and led her to be viewed as the outcast of society ; and therefore her wish to quit a country where sbe had been so treated was by no means astonishing ; and she might perhaps ther feel, that h,r remaining any longer in this couotry might eventually injure her beloved Daughter. The conduct of his Lord. Ai l ), if he advised the Q , :er.N t 3 tx,:hiSe the Pam ens from the Drawing-foorn, and at the same time to receive the Duchess of CumniraLaun, is repro bated by the writer on the ground of its producing disunion in the family. The proposed Dive.rce is further - etinsidered in connection with the situation of her Royal Highness the Princes Cna.m.orrs. Her succession, indeed, to the Throne will be attended with one advantage to the dountt y, tic. the disjunc. On of Hanover from the pritish Poininitais, which, es a male-fief, must descend to the Dujce of YORK. After some remarks on the danger of a disputed Succession, the writer concludes by imploring his Lordship seriously to weigh the consequences likely to result from a measure of so serious a nature, by the melancholy experience of former times, by the dioinotioe of affection which' Ministers have pro. dusted in the minds of the people towards the Panic; once the much and justly esteemed friend of the coun try e and above all, by the live the people bear to the Princess Ciutacorre, for the 'hardships they be lieve she has suffered, the sacrifices she has been c.illed to make from affection for her mother, and her own amiable qualities and preeminent tAlents. Your advice ;and influence with the Quxerr,'' says the writer, Fs are supposed to have excluded the PasKossx from society. Do not inflict additional injury on the daughter by disturbing her right of Succession. Such a measure would only be bequeathing a legacy of calamity fo the country.” MOST WOVORRFUL Lamp—.
