It is to remedy this inconvenience las much as possible, that regular convoys have been established betneen Marseilles and tadit, and that from time to time some of the King's ships are sent to cruise between Algiers and Carthagena. Hitherto the capture of the Ant quhr, off Ades, b tem feluccas, at the sight of which the crew thoegOtit advisable to escape on shore, is the only loss known to have been sustained by our merchantmen from the Al. get ine corsairs. However, the Chambers of Commerce of several m*. ritime towns having expressed great feats for the vessels now at Newfoundland, which shall come to Marseilles with their cargoes, a frigate and a brig have beea sent towards the Azores to provide for the safety of the navigation in those seas, and to inform the Captains of the French ships they meet with, of the necessity of touching at Cadis, it they desire to join the perildical convoys from that port to Marseilles. Another frigate cruises berween Cadis and the Straits, with the slime instructions. As for the Mediterranean, it is traversed in all directions by the King's ships of all, descriptions, which go successively to the different places where the corsairs might wait in expectation of the passage of merchantmen. There is reason to believe that so man, precautions will suffice to restore to our maritime com merce that confidence, without which it would be ins• possible to engage in any impostant operations. 11ey-Place, Condon.
