" Sir ROBFILT BARLMirt Of his Majtily's thip TRIUMPH, of 74 guns, and a frigate, have failed for Algiet s, in confequence of the Algerines de taining three Englilh vellels, on pretence of their having ufed falfe Mediterranean pares, or old ones that had been ufed for other veffels.—The Algerines have condemned the veffels and cargoes and fold them.—We expeta Sir ROHIRT will only demand the men from slavery.—The Algerines lately fent a frigate and two zebecks down to the back of the rock, with an intention to take a For tugufe frigate and line of battle !hip, cruizing in the gut ; they only met with the frigate, within our fight : the two zebecks boarded her and carried her away to Algiers, after murdering nearly all on board.—We expea they will take Tome more of them loon. a The Emperor of MOROCO has demanded from the Swedifh and American Confuls, refiding at Tangier, to order their cruizers to permit him fend ing corn to the port of Tunis, which is blockaded by them.—Captain Tuzenz, the American Com mander here, faid, his pcfative orders were, not to comply with any fueh ?equal; in confequence of this anfwer to the EM er,oß he has ordered Mr. IA Lk: LS Si M ?sou, the American C: mill, to quit his dominions, and an American frigate has failed to briog him and his family hither. He is expeded every hour. It is thought from this circumflance that the Moors will fend I ut final! cr..izers agailift the American.: immediately." We have received Paris Journals to the 3oth.— The Minificr Plenipotentiary of the I'i - Lach Re public in Helvetia has addrclkd the fillowing letter to the Landamman and Stattholdcrs of the Helvetic Republic : o Citisens landom in and Stockholders!

The Cot II Of - ri. - * That great selt of Junke en the part of the Firft Conful, Mould call forth all your gratitude to fo generous an Ally. Wi-h -out him, and without thefe troops, that are now about to de part from you, you would again have been a prey to all the horrors of anarchy. " Now he thinks you any be relieved from the ezpences which the neceffity of maintaining a foreign army, had impeded upon you. Agriculture, induftry, and commerce, will again fleunill among ft you under the Shade of Peace. The Citizens Mall reap the &tits of thefe bleffings, with .ut being obliged to part with them: and the father of a family, retiring to his habitation at night, will feel with plcafure that it contains none but his own children; every Swifs will fee himfeif furrounded by his countrymen alone. " But the departure of foreign troops from your country, fbciuld above all things be a caufe of thank (giving to you. You, who were Stung with grief at beholding this land, fo celebrated fur the glorious battles of our fore-fathers, become a theatre of war for neighbouring States: You who mourned when you ' thought you had no longer a national will left foffieient to re (train factions, nor a Government able to fupport Kelt; Should now rejoice; you Mould open your hearts to confidence. The independence of your country, acknowledged in the ftlpula t ions of Luneville, now obtains that privilege in fubttance. Hel vetia again enjoys her National manners, her ancient liberty. " But know on what conditions you are to have the bleffings of indeperdenee ; and what duties the confidence of the French Government, and the confidence of your own Government, impede on you. They command you to obferve peace and con cord. They require of yon the Sacrifice of all thole regrets, of I'd chore hopes and defires, which arc no longer compatible with the veining order of things. They call on you in an imperious in inner to rally round the Conftitu Con, and the Government which it rite:lace ; for it is only according to the Conflitu non, and by the Government, that liberty and independence can be preferred. In fupporting there, you will be able to con-' tinue a nation; in abandoning them you molt peas. They with that the author of every attempt againft the actual Bate of things may be punifhed in an exemplary manner. " Such is the national will; fuch is the intention declared by the Firer Conful on withdrawing his troops. Citizens, there elifts among the Governments of Europe, a comran for the maintenance of peace, order, and thofc principles which prc f crve every political fociety. Too long have the Sails difturb et' Foreign Powers with their diffentions ; and if, now that thole powers are difpufed to take borne intercft in our deft:riles, any diforders Mould rife up amongft us, we mutt expcdt to fee thr fame Powers, for the fake of their own fafety, taking up arms againft us. " We here declare ourfclvcs to be the guarantees for the will of the People. cooreerated by the Conftitution ; and we have pltegetl ourfelves to the French Government, that the Peace Mall not be &tutted in Switzerland. Prudence in council: celerity In execution; juftice to all ; prompt Severity agaitift the fadtious and the difturbers of public tranquillity;—theft are, and Mall ever be, the rule of our condudt.

The enemy have advanced as far as Jago. diva. This fecond clzfeat his fpread great alarm in Belgrade. The Janiffaries fpcedily formed a new corps to check the progrefs of thc enemy.-- They have made to march all thofe in a Rate fit to bear arms, without dillinaion of age or rank. It is now known with certainty, that JUSSUMI AGA was difpatched by Passwas Oaxots, who charged him to take Belgrade, to extend his domains, and enfure his independence.—According to a letter from Hermarladt, of the t ith of this month, the PRINCE of WALLACHIA has let out from Cronfiadt for Schafsbnurg, with a guard of honour. The PORTE has propofed to the PRINCE of MOLT/AVIA to aliiIME his place ; but it is doubted whether he will accept this offer. By a letter from the Swedifh Vice Conful, Fen. MERE, of 28th May, at Tunic, it appears, that the Dey of Tripoli had abfolinciy refuted to comply with the condition; offered to him by Rear Admi ral CEDORATROM. On the t 2th of the fame mouth, the Dey had formally declared war againft Swe den. The port was, in the mean time, clofely blocked up by the Swedifh frigates, and they were in hourly es petlation of being reinforced by the the new fquadron, fitted out, and delined for the Mediterranean, by the United States of North America. A letter frnm Cadiz, of the Both of June, Rates, that their difputcs with the regency of Algiers are amicably adjitilcd—a treaty of peace was figned on the tgth Whoa, between the two Govern ments—and hopes arc entertained that a fimilar treaty will (portly be concluded with the regency of Tunis.

Between the 6th and I sth init. 355 (hips have paired the Sound. On the 26th June the Baltic was agitated by a moll violent florm, in which a i Sw•edith brig was funk, and fix Ruffiln frigates were very much damaged in their rigging. The Ruffian fleet, conning of four (hips of the line and feveral frigates, under the Command of Admiral Kousen - rsc ann., which lay at anchor in the Road of Cronfladt, and was to have failed to exercife the Sea Cadets, has alto fuffered much damage in its rigging and malls. The CHANCELLOR of the Exotic:wait is with his family at Eaft Bourne, and will remain there about a fortnight. By the laft publication at the Houfe of Corn mons, of the Population of this ifland, it appears that there are 3,33 1,434 perfons. In Scotland ra- , ther more than a million and a half, and in Wales rather more than half a million. Add to thee the army and marines, together with the Britifh feamen employed in regifter {hips, and the total amounts to eleven millions. In Ireland the popu lation is more than four millions. The population of both, therefore, is about fifteen millions. At the commencement of the laft century, the popu lation of England and Wales, now nearly nine Imillions, was only fix millions. The number of males born exceeds the females about four in an hundred ; but, on account of the number of males who die abroad in war. the colonies and naviga tion, the burials of the females exceed that of the males about one in an hundred. Monday evening laft, near dufk, a duel took place near Irithtown, Dublin, between Col. CORR v and Mr. STORss,late of the Ordnance department. They fired one fhot each, and the ball from the Colonel's piaol ltrnck the watch of Mr. S. and broke it, which faved the latter from being wounded ; he was fomewhat hurt however from the force of the !hot. Here the affair terminated by the interference of their friends. The caufe of the duel is faid to have arifen from words of the parties upon a late bufinefs of litigation.

Saturday we received the Antigua papers to the 24th of June, and the St. Chritlopher's to the 22d inclufive, but they do not finial a Tingle ar ticle of general interefl. The St. Vincent Gazette of the sgth May lays— " We learn with regret, by accounts from Tobago and Granada, that a great mortality prevails in thole illands, particularly among the (hipping; a circumflance," lays the Granada Gazette, " not only lamentable but aflonifhing, as there appears to be nomalignant chforder among the inhabitants." Letters from Munich mention a grange difco very which has lately been made in that City.— While a number of workmen were employed in removing the benches and wainicotting of a church belonging to a convent that had lately been fup prefied, one of them while removing a confellional, fell through a kind of trap into a fubterraneous pal- Lige which communicated with a gallery. On ex amining the latter place there were found depofit. ed in it a number of dead bodies, among others that of a well known officer, who fome time back had difappeared, and who was recognized by his button, which had infcribed upon it the number of his regiment. The Eledloral Government imme diately iftued an order for apprehending the late Superior of the Convent, and a Special Commit. Pion has been appointed to enquire into this my Re rious bufinefs. Between (even and eight o'clock on Wednefdo evening, when walking towards Camden town r vae nbferved the appearance of a meteor, coming from the direetion of Paddington, and alternately blaz ing out and difappearing in the cloudsywhich were then very lowering. The phonon:len - con turned out to be a fire balloon. In a few minutes it was ap parently over the Jew's Harp public-huufe, and its body began to be vifible ; being at the time, in appearance, at a height not lefs than twice that of St. Paul's. It then gradually dercended, driving the cattle before it, which fcanspered as if feized with fudden madnefs. About 3co yards to the northward of St. James's Chapel, it lighted on the pailing by the road fide; the lzwel, which feemed to have been only brufh-wood, being extra tilled.— There appeared to be an infcription on it, but we were prevented from reading it by the nativer,who had affsmbled, and who inftanily tore it in pieces for the fake of the thin brown paper c f which it was compofed. However partial we may be to fuch ingenious experiments, we are not quite clear as to the propriety of fending up Oir kind of bal loon, in a populous neighbourhood. During the former ballowsowania.
