EMBASSY TO dLeIERS.. Mutest been favoured with the fa/Sowing Account of the late Fe►ba{fy, which terminated in the re•eßabUihment of a good underttaoding betwec.t the Doi and Reieney of Algiers, writ. ten by a Ccntkmat► oa board Ida Majefty's alp Superb, we !often to lay it before our Readers. On the 28th of December Jail, having received on board a Mr. Cartwright, lately from England, we parted from our fquadroo, then off Cape San Se baftiano, and at day-break on the 3d of January ar rived off Algiers. The Rev. Dr. Scott, Chaplain of the Victory, and the Rev. Mr. Evans, of the Su perb (both converfant in the Italian language), went Owe with Lieutenant Butler early in the forenoon, and were loon concluded into the prefence of the Dey. After the ufual falutation of (taking hands, (a pi ivirege allowed to none but BritiA fubjeds,) Dr. Scott proceeded to read to him Lord Nelfon's letter, which was in Italian : it was further explained, either in the Turkifh or in the Morifco language, by Mr. Bufnach, a very opulent arerehant, Chief of the Jewilh inhabitants, and poffefied of great influence At Algiers. His Highnefs the Dey expreffed his fa tisfadion, in the Rrongeft terms, at our having brought with us a Conful ; but on hearing that part of the letter which Rated the conditions on which alone he could ever be landed, be not only vehemently protelled that he would never comply with them, but even advanced, in oppofition, a claim on his part, which, as far as I can learn, was never Willed on when we were there in January and June laff par r Mr. Evans, on this, returned on board, in order to communicate to Captain Keats the refill' of the aw dience, and on the following morning we went-afttnre again, with further inflrudiens, but all tending in variably, (if we may judge from the final iffue of the embalry,) to the unconditional attainment pf the demands already delivered in. Dr. Scott, in tie mean time, had been very actively and ufefully en gaged, in imprelling on the minds of the Minitiers, that nothing elfe than an abfolute compliance with 1 the ultimatum propofed could infure a continuance of that amity which had fo long prevailed between his Britannic Majetty and the Kingdom of Algiers.' On the sth Captain Keats landed and had an audi ence of the Dey. lam inclined to believe it was a tempefluour one, but that it finally had a good effed.— On the morrow he returned to the charge ; and, af ter a long and violent confultation in full Divan, it was at length determined that his demands ought to be complied with. That night he was under the ne ceffity of remaining on Ihore. Here I mutt obferve, that Mr. Mountford, Secretary to Colonel Lear, the American Conful, then at Malta, refpeding their af fairs with Tripoli, had, on the 3d, 'node an offer ofl his houf.: and table as long as the Superb fhould re- main off Algiers • his friendly and hotpitable invita tion was gladly and thankfully received, appear ing by no means politically advifable to open the Englith ironic. Our term Wing now been fqlly acknowledged to be equitable and honourable, and a perfed compliance with them having been promifed, no further caufe of complaint teemed to trill : but a ferious and unexpected obßacle intervened at the very moment that the principal and primary obje& of the embaffy was about to be attained by ps. The confequence was, that Captain Keats, after a fpirited remontlrance, inttantly returned on board. Nearly at that time, having by means of fignals made by one of our boats afhore, received favourable intelli gence, and the wind alfo favouring us, we came to an anchor, and were fainted with twenty-one guns, which compliment we immediately returned. On the morning of the Bth January all impediments were removed, and the indifpenfable demands firit propo fed being now unconditionally acceded to, and car ried into died, Mr. Cartwright landed about noon, and was received rith the ufual masks of diltindionr but with unufnal joy, for the inhabitants, Turks, Moors, and Jews, dread above all things a war with England. He was prefented by Captain Keats to the Dey, who received him in a very gracious and friend ly manner. The Englifh Confular Houfe was then thrown open, and thus was Mr. Cartwtight moll honourably ellablithed at Algiers. On the 11th, having taten in a plentiful (apply of frefh provifions, vegetables, &c. Captain Keats had his audience of leave, and, in the evening, we left the Bay. The wind proving favourable, we joined our brave Commander in Chief and the fquadron,'at their anchorage in Madialena Bay, Sardinia, early on the 15th of January. I cannot conclude without expreffing my full con viaion, that this happy termination of our differinces With Algiers is principally to be attributed to the zeal, judgmeat, and intrepidity of Captain Keats, the whole tenor of whofe conduCt was filch as to ex tort profeflions of refped and efteem even from the Minifters he treated with, at the very moment that they were reludantly complying with his demands. Calling to mind the very tenacious and irritable dif pofition of the Dey, biaffed by pecuniary confidera tions, inflamed alto by the fly infinuations and artful intrigues of a defigning fadion, at the head of which is the Reprefentative of Bonaparte, powerful at the time, but whole ftrength is now co more—if you confider there, I fay, and the many other obftacles we had to contend againft, you will admit that we have accomplilhed a talk Herculean. Superb, you will remember, is the (hip that,' in the awful and memorable right of the 12th of July, 'Sot, (having been fent a-head by the Ad 111. - . TA . 6 the gallant Sir James Saumarez,) tingly opened her fire on the rear of the combined enc'my, xr,d caufv.l the deftruftion of the Real Carlos and San licrmenc• gildo, of tix guns each ; after which flue chaft.d, fought, and captured le St. Antoine, of equal force with herfelf. There we had an opportunity of main taining the honour of the Britilh flag, and we have now been the means of hoilling it again at Algier, with increalbd Nips& and dignity. After an abfence of nearly four years, we now naturally look wil:. anxious hopes to that happy period which will recd us to the hot= of our Friends and Relatives, to otn dear fire fide, in the favoured abode of happinefs and liberty. LONDON. MONDAY, JUNE 3. Warrsem•Motta.t v.—Holiday at the Public-06as. Difpatches have been received from Lord NELiOti brought to Plymouth by the MILAMPUS frigate, but Paid to have been received by her from a privateer. Their contents have not tranfpired. The Townfhead packet, which has arrived at Fal mouth in fifteen days from Li&on, reports, that his Lordthip's fleet was eruizing of Portugal when &e failed t and that the expedition under Gen. Cacao failed on the loth of May for the Mediterranean— the General and troops all well. It is now confirmed by accounts received at the different out ports. that the French (hips which were lately feen (leering from the wcftward, are the fame fquadton that plundered different Weft India iflands ; and that the port of Roehefert whence they origi nally faded, is the one to which they hay; returned. The public opinion is divided refpeBing the deli nation of tbe - cornbined fleet. Some believe it to be gone to Brazil. The general idea was the Wen In diFs; as the Bochefurt fquadrpn expelted, as it was Paid, a flrong reinforcement. But that fleet having rett;trild, we mull look for another hypothefis, as the French would fcarcely think the combined fleet, though fuperiOr in number, fuperior in flrength to Admiral tognaan a with the fhips before in the Lee ward Elands and on the Jamaica nation. The Eaft Indic? offer a wide field for the enter prizes of an active foe. • To fecure the Cape of Good Hope to France, is a meafure, to which the Dutch, however unwilling, mutt confcnt. A junftion with Linots's fquadron will Arengthen a fleet already for midable. Agaird fucb.a force neither Bombay nor Trincomalee can offer an effeanal reOltanee. The cap• lure or delimit* of the Company's fhipsmid of the country veffels, is an additional fpur to.threnemy's induftry. Whatever may be their deknation, we dread the confbquences. A year ago, a man would have been thought to give a furlough to his judgment, who had fugge!ted the podi.bility of French fleets rid. ing triumphant and unoppored in the EaR and Weft. We refer to the recollection of our Readers, that early in this war we &only recommended the Ce ntre of Alexandria and of the Cape of Good Kope F and we believe that Mr. Aunt« ovou was on the point of efft4ing the latter *hen he refigned. Had thefe Metifures been adopted, Nstsow would not have been (gni to Egypt to link for the Toulon Squadron, inst chi enemy could not eafily have gone to the EaR . Th. ioffeffion of the CXpe would have given us ttie'contmand of the Iflands of Bourbon fo as to have defeated any projea againft India. With thefe polls in our hands, and a proper fleet in the Weft 'lndies, the French holl:lities mull hare been confined to the 'review of their. Boulogne flo tillas, and threats in the Meniteur of an invafion ul this country and *of Ireland. There is a great buale amonet the enemy's land and fen forces on the oppoitte coati ; and this is not confined, as formerly, to a few points, but extends all the way from the Texel to Dieppe. Report fan, that the Dutch have in the 37xxel nine (hips of the line ready for fea. We have ftroig reafon to difbelieve; at leak oat-third of this number: Our Texel (qua. drop is, however, to be reinforced by three fail of the line, and fome so gun (hips." 411 opr veffels and forces on the coax are completely on clic akrte. Admiral pOUGLAS returned on Frici4y: to the Downs, in order to concert with Lord KEITH the ne ceirary meafures to be taken, thould the grand flotilla of the enemy attempt to put to lea. Yefterday morning her MAJESTY and the Pats c sass* left the Qtjeeits Houle for the Duke of Ct;N:- asziatm's bottle at Yew Green, where they were received by the Dukes of YOILIC, KANT, Cl 2 !VII' A LAND, and CAnisaiDnit. In; tew minutes MAJIIITY came froth the palace, dreffed in dec.. 9,.. form of the Royal Mora Guards. The Roy.t':. NIILY then walked to Kew Church, and went into pews in the galley oppolite the altar, which have lately been prepared for tit:lr reception. An excel lent Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. LEE t, Dean of Weilminttcr, from the xcl chapter of Haz• and 9th verfe. gai, and 9th ... After divine lervice the Royal Family went to the Dt►ke of Cumasaxasn's, and p;:rtook of tome re frelltmente. About two o'clock.they too► an ailing in Kew and Richmond gardens. At Tour o'clock the Royal Family went to Kew Palace to ; ani loon after fix they left that place for London. In the evening there was a Concert of Sacred Mufic at the Qteen's Houle. I'o-morrow evening, after the Drawing-room, in commemoration of his Maiirry's Bitth-day, teeir Maissrtss will have a party of near tico ati;•.: Iteen's Houfe to a Grand Concert.
