A Genoese meachantinan, lately captured by one of hii corsairs, having .been carried into the port of *Algiers, the Sardinian Vice,Consul. Mr. Caron, con . sidered It to be his duty to demand iterelease. In stead df paying just attention to this demand, the Dey ordered the cargo to be immediately put up to auction, caused the Consul.to be conveyed on board the captured vessel, having previously had his niece teired and put into his harem. Mr. Caron has already arrived at Genoa, where he is put under quarantine. Our Monarch it highly incensed at the inhuman conduct of the Dey, and has ordered the immediate equipment of some frigates and corvettes to obtain satisfaction. We learn from Constantinople, that the Dey of Tunis and Algiers have concluded a 'treaty of peace under the guarantee of the Grand Seignior, and at the same time, in conjunction with the Dey of Tri-' roll, have entered into an offensive and defensive alliance with tlke Emperor of Morocco. STOCKUOLM, JANUARY All the four Estates have, by an unanimous reso- F;tion, approved by the King, in order to give a new wiarantee to tie uninterrupted happiness of the Na tion, and a firmer support to the Government, ton ferred on Prince Oscar, Duke of Sudermania, in case of the absence or illness of the King and the Crown Prince, the exercise of the Royal - Authority, With all constitutional rights, and have waited upon him to formally announce this resolution. His Royal High ness will complete his nineteenth year on the 4th of re.:t July. kLiNOVER, JANUARY II We learn that the Countess of Itielmannsegge is also appointed Lady Of Honour to the future consort of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. About the 7t is of next month his Royal Highness is ex pected here from Cassel, for some time. It is said that the chief Nobility of this city will be present at the celebration of his Royal Highness's marriage, atCasseL BERLIN, JANUARY V. The English Minister, Mr. Rose, received a courier (on Saturday) from Lord Castlereagh, with the news of his fathers death. He is at the same time per mitted to return for a short time to England, for his family off.tirs. He sets off to-day ; his son-in-law, Mr. Douglas, Secretary of Legaticm, remains as Charge d'Affaires. • HAMBURG% JANUARY 27. The storm which we had in these parts in the middle of this month, was, as far, as the accounts reach, urcnmmonly extensive, from the French and English coasts over to the Netherlands, to Jutland, Fuhnen, and other parts of Denmark, to Lower Saxony.

A Hamburgh Mail arrived at a late hour last eight, by which we have another account from Ge noa of the recent insult offered to humanity at Algiers. This letter is dated the 12th ult. and we had before others of the llth and 15th, from the same place, sa that . we cannot flatter ourselves with thesleast hope that there is no truth whatever in the statements that hate been laid before the public. The one now re• ceived, states, however, nothing respecting the hor rid inhumanity said to have been perpetrated on the family of our Consul; but, simply, that the Sardi nian Vice-Consul, having remonstrated against the seizure of a Genoese vessel, the DEY, instead of giving him any redress, ordered the cargo to be instantly sold, and caused the Vice-Consul, M. CA RON, to be conveyed on board and sent off, having previously had his niece seized and sent to the harem. Notwithstanding the discrepancy in the accounts that have reached us, there is still so much agree ment in some of the particulars, that we dare not lope the whole is unfounded. It may be true, and v:e shall rejoice if it proves so, that the niece of the t 4 ardinian Vice-Consul is the only Lady that has been s::zed upon, and that, by some mistake, first our Consul's nieces was substituted, by report, for the other, and afterwards both united, as in the letter of the 15th, the one first received, though latest dated, But it is also possible—and this is what most alarms us at the present moment—that, on the British Con sul interfering, the tyrant who now governs at Al giers, may also have extended the same brutality to his family. We mean not that the insult, if confined only to the Sardinian Vice-Consul's family, should be received with less abhorrence ; but the fewer the nember of the victims the less has humanity to deplore. The particular moment at which this insult is said to have been offered should not be overlooked. It is after the conclusion cf a Treaty of Peace between some of the contending Regencies, and of offensive and defensive Alliance, including as parties the DEYS, of Tunis, Trip( li, and Algiers, with the Emperor of Moaoceo—under the guarantee of the PORTE.—It is immediately after the Plague squadron which had been ont for some months has returned into rort :—for that it has returned is confirmed by French Journals rzceived this morning. This squadron our Readers will recollect, caused great alarm to the European Maritime Nations, and in consequence, orders were issued to prevent these vessels fin* anchoring in any of the harbours of France, Pora, Bpain, or the Meditenaneen. While out theisild attempt to cast anchor at Gibraltar, but were warned off and the guns of the batteries pointed at them to enforce compliance. The same thing happened either at Marseilles or at Genoa—we do not recollect which, nor is the diffe rence worth ascertaining. But ,it is far from being improbable that the African barbarians may have considered this in the light of an insult demanding revenge, which they accordingly take—when their vessels are, as they imagine; safe beyond the reach of reprisal. yre shall greatly rejoice should our fears prove altogether unfounded ; for we have our fears still : but we ought to state also, that there are accounts in the City, from Genoa, dated the £3d of January, eight days later than any of those to which we have before referred, and that these accounts make no mention of the event which has caused so much un easiness. This, with us, goes farther to invalidate the reports, than any arguments that have been suggested of their improbability, on account of their enormity. The four Estates of Sweden have unanimously concurred with the KING, in conferring upon Prin. , Osumi the exercise of the Royal Authority, in the', absence, or ill health, of his Majesty and the Crown Prince. The latter, whilst he thds strengthens the securities which c'm be conferred by th 4 forms of law, (Or the permanence of his dynasty, takes the additional precaution of conciliating the affections of the lower orders, by pecuniary largesses of more than regal munificence. The Emperor ALEXANDER was expected at St. Pctersburgh, from Moscow, about the close of last month. He will thence, according to one account, proceed to Warsaw, and afterwards attend a meeting of the Allied Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle; but some letters state that he will return in the course of the present month to Moscow, and thence proceed to the Crimea. The ParisiPapers of Tuesday arrived this morning. The Duke of WELLINOTON had a long audience of the KING on Monday, and afterwards dined with Prince TALLETRAND. The Chamber of Peers has unanimously rejected the appeal mad.: to it by the widow of St. Monys, on the subject of the late melancholy death of her hus band in a duel. , In the Chamber of Deputies the Members are still occupied with the Recruitment Project. ' Just as this Paper wax putting to Press we receiv ed the Paris Papers of Wednesday. A Letter from Ir.spruck, dated the 2ad of January, says :—" Letters from Italy report facts which, if confirmed, mu d excite the general indignation of Europe against the Government of Algiers. They announce that the Vice-Consul of Sardinia has arrived at Genoa from Algiers, where a Sardinan brig had been carried in, where it was declared a good prize, its papers being, as they said, not regular. All the Consuls repaired to the Day to make representations against this pro cedure—He received them, surrounded by hi 4 Guards with a naked sabre in his hand, but gave them no satisfaction. The English Consul demanded the re lease of his son-in-law, who had been arrested and imprisoned the day before, as also his two nieces, who had been sent to the Seraglio. The Dxv flew into a rage, and threatened to strike off the head of the young man, if he persisted in his appeal. The next day the Sardinian Vice-Consul was ordered to quit Algiers. His daughter was torn from him, and conducted to the Seraglio." The Bath lepers were not delivered this morning until very kite, in consequence of the B:istol Mail last night mistaking the road, and instead of passing over !tiwbery-hridge, driving into the river. Fortu nately no accident occurred, further than in j ury to the harness, &c. The guard secured the M. i 1 bags, and brought them to town in a post chaise. The Pilot, Captain SANDERSON, which arrived from Leith on Monday morning, brought to tenen fifteen Highland Pipers, all dressed in their native garb, all of high minstrel fame, and all able, as we understand, to assert the proud boast of never having worn a pair of breeches in their lives. The English Opera House is, we understand, to have the honour of being the theatre on which they are to display their matchless powers to the admiration of a London audience, • It has been the practice in late Lotteries to draw only a few Tickets on the First Day, but the Com missioners of this Lottery will draw about 5,000 Tickets, or nearly one-third cf the whole Lottery on the Ith of MARCH; and as vle first-drawn ten Prizes must be all Capitals of 5,0001. 1,000/. &c. &c. besides what may arise per chance in the 5,000 Numbers, we may be assured, that about 40 Capital Prizes at least will be drawn on.the 4th of Ai A ncit, being more than the whole Schemes of late Lotteries have con tained.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain T. F. BALDERSTON was sworn into the command of the ship Asia, con signed to Bengal and Madras. By a letter from Boulogne, dated Monday last, we !earn that the --;eather has been most tempestuous along the French coast, dui ing the last week. On Sa turday afternoon a smuggling vessel was lost within a stone's throw of the Pier Head, and we regret to state, that the whole crew, consisting of nine English men and one Frenchman, perished. Tuesday a boat was upset off Whitstable, and out of five men in it one was unfortunately drowned; The British Tar, of London, from Sierra Leone, Captain JOHN Pirtle, was wrecked early in the mor• ning of the 30th of January, between Lymington and Gracechurch, and every person on board perished.— Fourteen bodies have been picked up, but it is sup posed 'that a considerable number more were on board. The Captain, six of the ship's company, and one African woman, whose bodies are among those found, were decently interred in the church yard of Breken, on Wednesday. The other bodies remain in the church of that place, in order to give as long an opportunity as possible to their being recognized by their friends. - The smack Trusty, Captain ANDERSON, arrived from Leith on Wednesday morning, with about 34 men on board, who have been engaged in Scotland to go out to South America as volunteers in the cause of the Independents. It seems that a promise had been given them that they should receive a bount, of 40 dollars on landing in London, and pay also from that time; at the rate of a dollar per day ; but meeting with nothing of the kind, and the ship wl , ich was to convey them across the Atlantic not being ready for their reception, they are, as may readily be conceived, in a state of great discontent. A receiving house was opened for them at Edin burgh. The Justices interfered so far as to prevent men who were of the militia being enrolled, but no farther. COVENT-GARREN.--The Oratorios commenced at this Theatre last night with a truly grand Selection of Sacred Music, which was performed throughout in a style of transcendent excellence that called forth the ecstatic and reiterated plaudits of a numerous and elegant audience. BRAw4ss was in fine voice, and executed the several airs allotted to him in his very best style ; as did also Miss STEPHENS and Miss CORR! ; and the general effect was gratifying beyond the power of description. The other vocal performers, Miss FRITH, Miss ()zonal, Mr. MORRIS, Mr. HAM. MOND, Mr. MILLER, Mr. THORNE, and Mr. TINNEY, also acquitted themselves with great ability ; and on the whole a more exquisite treat has rarely been en joyed by the musical amateur. The chorusses were in sublime and beautiful effect beyond all praise. We were pleased to find a new Song introduced, appli cable to the present distresses of our gallant seamen, which was sung mosticharmingly by Mr. BRAHAM THE SAILOR'S PETITION. Ah ! why should the sailor, return'd from afar, Facap'd from the dangers of tempests and war, See the demon of poverty frown from afar, And moisten his morsel with many a tear ! Survey the poor shed where his little ones lie, And mark, for a moment, that heart-tending sigh: 'Tis the mother's ! who mourns for her infants, .so dear, And moistens their morsel with many a tear ! But who can the father's sensations define? Ile feels all their sorrows, yet scorns to repine ; But when the bright beams of the day disappear, His pillow is moisten'd with many a tear! Oh! do not, my Country ! thus leave hint forlorn, Who for thee, in all climates, has misery borne ; Fl;ce hope in the wan, and Despair in the rear, Aud tte'str let his moral be moist with a war ! then row Cow f- arch had merel ha th rose • HT Or - . • crif.LLENcr.
