THE ALGERINSS. By letters from Carthagena, of the 19th of July, we are informed that the Algerines have gone through the hive of de.;laring war against Spainoi—Of the actual commencement of hostilities we had already informed our Readers, and that these lawless ;Ann derers had actually landed and carried off defenceless inhthitants from the Spanish soil. The fact respecting these thieves, is simply this Lait year they fitted oat a fleet to lay the Swedes un. da contribution. Forbearance was obtained, whether by threats or by purchase, we know not : and the fleet being ready, the Algerines thought they might turn their armament to a profitable account by attacking the Americans The latter have given them a threshing ; but the fleet being still in existence, they have resolved to plunder the Spaniards—And so they will. any others who will submit to it. It is disgraceful to every State in Europe to allow such repeated attacks op the part of these lawless free-booters upon any of the children of our common' family ; and we sincerely hope that our owo Govern ment, which has rendered such important services to Christendom, by striking down the hydra WhiCh np pressed the land, will not any longer deter the anni hilation of these nests of pirates. The proper way to scale such a business is not by mrrely chastising the Chiefs. Attack them in their own fortresses. Seise upon and keep purser:ion of all the offending coast towns, on the Northern shore of Africa ! 'Phis is the true way to effect any thing like a ra dical civilization of the inhabitants. On the natives themselves you would confer the greatest blessings, by destroying the power and Gumming of their pi mat tyrants. SPAM. Our Readers will perceive by the following article, dated Madrid, that FERDINAND is still engaged in the work of persecution. He receives in return the grateful heritage of the restored Jesuits. it must be cenfrsseti, that the Monarch and his panegyrists ale well suited to each other : - • " MADRID, AUGUST 5. ' Our Gazette has favoured us with three letters: one from the ?ape to the King, thanking him for the restoration of the Alma' ; another from some Vicars capitols: . with :he same view, and offering to remove all obstructions which May thwart the success of a measure so pleasing to their Goo ; and the third let ter is from some Jesuits still remaining, from the pe. rind of the expulsion, expressive of their gratitude to his Majesty, " It is asti nishing that a set of Monks so formi dable to all Prins:esti,' their doctrine of mid* should be re-established, and re-established by a King! 64 At first view some people, not sufkiently ac quainteo with current affairs, might imagine, and -wi t h some appearance of reason, that nothing is thought of here, but monks; . theta are, however, matters which seriously occupy the attention of those attached to government; the journey of the King to Paris, which is talked of, and which, it is not doubted will take place, is, it would appear, very disagreeable to these . gentry, -and even to his Majesty. 66 It is said alsu that the army, ot which a part had' already returned to the interior, has received orders again to advance, and to await the King on the fron tiers ; some regiments are already mentioned asking kaly to accompany his Majesty en his journey. 66 The system of persecution cobtinties the same; Don Alvarez Guerra, Ex-Minister at Var, has been fond mired to banishment, and to pay the ezpences yf trccess. Several imprisoned Deputies, who had been permitted to enjoy the liberty of conversing with their friends, have been again shut up in secret.

MMAN PAPEId • • EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED AM. 1. The'ne‘‘s spread some days since by the papefe here of the speedy conclusion of peace, and the inte grity of 'France as the main condition, filled the hearts of the French with joy at the expected triumph their-diplomatic intrigues. Happily we have A WIN' founded hope that this report is premature, and that peace in the sense of the expression, which, as things stand, might be pernicious fur France itself, is still retnote ; and this is the opinion of wellinfunied persons. 4 4 The evil has taken too deep root, and nobody I can longer delude himself with the philanthropic 'hope of reducing these rattles, banditti by common .means. The opposition to Louis XVIII. appearsl daily to assume a more menacing and dangerous shape, and it should seem as if even in the Cabinets of the Allied Powers his throne was considered as too unstable to serve as a basis for the repute of Europe. . 44 It has been the first object of the Allied Powers to regulate the administration of the conquered pro vinces. The limits of the different governments are already partly fixed. The Prussians get the country between the Loire and the Seine, and the district in which the fortreises of Givet and Mezieres are situat ed. Austria leaves four of the Departments occupied by its troops, to Bavaria, and two to Wortembeni , and Alyce is governed by Austria, on uccoust oil Baden and Saxony. 4 , Paris remains under the administration of the Allies jointly, and thus they will endeavour to em ploy with deliberation the resources of the country, and leave it to time to communicate its warning in structions upois.the general measures to be taken. " BASLE, AUGUST 6. The day before yesterday several pieces of heavy artillery arrived from France in the Austrian camp. to be employed against Huningen. This morning several waggons with fascines, &c. passed through tor the camp before Huningen. A heavy cannonade is still kept up against Little Huningen. AUGUST 7.—Yesterday and to-day there bas been some sharp skirmishing near Bonrglibre and Neudotf, where the Austrians are at work on a.b .ttery. The Ausuian heavy artillery is gradually arriving. A trust quantity of ammunition, bombs, &c. is also arrived. AUGUST B.—Our sharpshooters so command the walls of Huningen that the French cannot she* themselves without great precaution. In the night; during the storm. they surprised one of our ,pons. Yesterday afternoon a very brisk fire was ul►etter!'. from all sides against Huningen. GENOA, JULY mt. There are still many people here who live in hopes chat, under present circumstances, the decisions of the Congreu of Vienna may undergo some change, and that in that case Genoa may be again raised to the rank of an independent state ; for what most vexes the Genoese is by no means the loss of the *ll.e. publican constitution (the restoration of which is eon. sideted as impracticable, on account of the example that it would hold out to Venice) ; but thiincorpo. ration of their state with the dominicus of the King of Sardinia. . This hawed- to the Piedmontese, is, however. A reason unworthy of being attended to; and of which they ought to,be the more ashamed, sinsretke idea df the future union of all Italy under oncsceptie, is among the fashionable dreams .of the country, and this idea is rendered still mote vain by ihrbostifity of the several Italian States towards each other. ' But a truth which unhappily cannot, be -coniested. is, the impossibility for the King of Sardinia to defend dome his new subjects sgaidit the Barbary Powen end pi. rates; whose boldness increases daily, and who carry off people and property, even close to the letdoour and the city; It excites indignation and Mirror *bee one knows that the Dey of Algiers alone has at lea eight ships like frigates, some carrying 44 guns, ant that several of these vessels are French ships Abu have been captured and carried into Malta, and there sold by the English to the Barbary States.• It we add to this, that the English 'after their first landing at Genoa, sold or carried from the port and arsenals not only the vessels that were . ready equipped, bur likewise all the materials fur building new ones, one Must be so much the more chagrined, that these So. vereigns of the sea have not obtained from their African friends the freedom of his flag for the King of Sardinia, without which the commerce of Genoa must sink more and more,. and the lunging for I new government proportionably increase. The Genoese had requested at the Congress the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, or the young King of Etruria, for•their sovereign. The two first were proposed, in all probability, with'thst hope that Austria, Battered by the offer, world powerfully second its. and the last. tot only because the Spanish marine could readily protect them, but because the trade between Spain and Genoa wa rid still is. principally is silk. which is the most • : tair: article they deal in, and, on the whole, thereto affinity than aversion between the nit) nations. , " The Queen of Etinria, and the Infant her son, still live in Genoa, nor is there at present an talk oltheir departure, a proof that the Duchy . of Lucca, which the Congress allotted to her, does not satisfy bee pre sensions. This, and the circumstance that the English still maintain a garrison here, command the fortifications. and extend and strengthen diem at their own es , perm, serve the people as a confirmation in their opi nion of a probable change. By letters from Tunis. it appears that the Dey of That place is likewise making preparations to turn to, advantage the last moment of license in the litcdi.' terranean ; four frigates and several smaller vessels are ready to put to sea; eight Danish ships have lately been taken by the pirates under varioos pretexts.— .An English Captain, Briggs. sew 200 'Whin slaves' on board of two Aigerine corsairs.

If a perfect eirtilibrions wes to be brought, according to these principles, into the forms which the power of circumstances created, it• was impoesPole to recal the past. It is already so re mote, that an attempt wholly to restore it would ex pose the future anew to the dangers of an uncertain tate. The most powerful States, which are well ac quainted with their own interests, are convinced tiro it is inseparable from the interest of all, have made to this necessity the most painful sacrifices, and there by proved it is the eyes of the world. Princes cor dially attached to their subjects, who felt themselves happy in the consciousness of the love of their people, 'have seen themselves compelled to cede countries which have been for ages subject to their sceptre. 66 Thus Austria has renounced its Netherlands, Prussia several Westphalian provinces, and the Mar gravates, which were the cradle of Os Royal family. The Powers of Europe have requivisd these renuncia. lions from each other in the name of the general good s an indemnity is insured to those who lose by them." He then extolled the happiness that Pusen would j enjoy by being incorporated with a Power whose glory and strength is founded on wisely-regulated' freedom, impartial justice, and the CAM of Govern. ment, which embraces every class. The oath of allegiance having been taken, the Go. tremor observed, that his Majesty had 'given him the government, knowing Ms attachment to rolaaii, as his native country.—" 1 can give," said he, woo bet. tee pledge of his Majesty's gracious sentiments then his own weeds to me t—Endeavour to gaga me the hearts of my subjects by strict justice, order, and at. tention to their wants." HAMBURG'', JULY to A great quantity of artillery and ammunition con tinues to go from hence to Altona, where it is deli. vend to Danish Commissioners, whoere there to re 4eive these artistes. We know now that by far the greater part of this ammunition does not go to Gluck stadt. but down the Elbe to Stade, the King of Den mark having parted with it at a reasonable price to the kingdom of Hanover. This is also the case with a large quantity of fiewry artillery. In this manna Stade, the only fortress in the kingdom of Hanover, mill be completely armed in an easy manner. Here at Hamburgh. we are glad to see these war. like stores sent away, at i. is a proof that the Allies do not intend that it shall remain a fortress, a benefit of high importance to a commercial city. We hope, therefore, that the hundreds of thousands of pallisades which still surround our extensive fortifications sill be removed. and the works themselves destroyed, that in future wars no army may be induced to throw it ' self intn the city as a.military position, which has sot fered countless miseries from having neglected to level all its fortifications at a former period. RESTORATION OF WORKS OF ART AND KLING& non TIM talatellit alltasuas. " The recovery of these object., which am univer sally regarded as inalienable national property, occu. pies strongly the minds of men in Germany. At the former peace of Pat's, they were among the number of forgotten and neglected things; but this time they hive drawn early attention, a sure proof that the pub. lie mind has in the course of this year acquired great strength, and that in matters which it seriously wills it can no longer be resisted. " The French, on the other hand, endeavour with smooth words,' after their manner, to get out of the embarrassment and difficulty. They say it is a great advantage for the improvement of painting that • - 0 large a'collettiou of works of art should have been formed on one spot, and that its dispersion would be productive of the most injurious effects. They boast of being the most complaisant•gutrdians of the trea sure which, through them, is accessible to all Europe. This pines* is not tree, and least of all in regard to the arts ; fur even were it the case in science that ▪ collection of air the dispersed rays into one focus were useful to its progr. ss, yet in regard to the works of art, their dispersion, like a heaven spangled with stars, is in truth animating and quickening, while their being massed together only contributes to indii. lance and enfeebling luxury. is there not reason also to suspect. that in consequence of the corrupt and disordered state economy at the French, for which they have at all times been notorious, the treasure would not remain in their hands for more than hall a century. but that the greater part of it would be with drawn to England I " Since all then must be agreed about the propriety of this resumption, it is fit that an understanding should be come to about the principles on which it should be carried into eta* 'nut every one should' have his Own; must necesserily . be the first principle. To the respective places whence the works were stolen they muse be given back. Whatever, through. out all Germany, has been torn from churches and museums, must be again replaced as before. To Austria it naturally belongs to claim the same reedits. Lion for Italy. Spain may speak for herself. Tibia, however. which belonged to the French before die great spoliation,•remains theirs in full enjoyment. 64 Many of the articles which were notoriously car. rieddiff, have been lost, by being destroyed or stolen, or diverted into private collections ; in this case the injured must receive indemnity by other equivalent works of art. " After all ascertained property shall thus have been'restored, still there will lanais a mass of arti. Iles without an owner, that have been takin floin private collections. and from plundered cloisseis, or which, like the Egyptian articles, have been broitin from foreign parts.
