A short time before the Algerine Envoy (as the English Ambassador had repeatedly refused .r. pas• port for the transport vessels) applied to the French Ambassador for a certificate that the cargoes of thew ships were entirely Turkish property, with whic'r. however, this Ambassador also declined to coa.ply. Some alarming movements are said to have been observed lin the Persian frontiers, for which the tobowirig'llpCS are assigned—lbrahim Com. minder of the Turkish frontier fortress of lidazici, who was discharged from his office, and fled to Per sia. a , •cl did not return at the desire of the neighbour. ing Turkish Governors, has camed the Turks to be go•riy of some excesses in the Persian villages, for which the Persian Crown Prince, Mein Abbas, is said to Irak:awn that he will exact repalation by force of arms.

AMERICA. I.A GUIRA. FEBRUARY IS. At present we may consider ourselves free from the dangers to which we have been for some time exposed, a change that is owing to the arrival horn Santa Fe of General Morillo at Varinai. tr.us which place he is now marching down. to leeward. Thus will Carraccas he again btlfe. It is alao intended to send an expedition to the Island of Maresiita, in order to free it and restore perfect tranquillity. and things will than 'again return to their old footing.— Trade already begins to Auume an active form. Some importations of consequence have been made from St. Thomas within these few days, and dry goods begin to be in request. At present sales can be effected. ST. THOMAS. FEBRUARY 22. The affairs of the Spanish Main are still in a state of suspense. Nevertheless, the moment of a decisive crisis is approaching. and it is presumed that the In ct.pendents wall eventually be the strongest, because the "Royalists are unable to recruit their troops, gra dual'y wasting away by the wars and the climate. If the independents bad heretofore been possessed of a Chief of any talent, under such advant iges as they could command, long ago they might have been masters of Veneasela. They talk of an action that has lately taken place near Barcelona; each party attributes to himself the victory, but what induces, us strong l y to b e t eae t hat nothing decisive has taken place, is. the this very day fresh orders for goods 'Lave atriee.4„bere from La Goma. The Independents have issued a Proclamation of blockade against La Guira, Barcelona, Guyana and Puerto Cabello. Admiral Bri ,, n is at Margarita, where the Board of Admiralty has been established. The Independent privateers have for some time p ast infested our seas, pidaging vessel* of all nations, and ill-treating the Captains, crews, and passengers in the most barbarous manner, in older to find out money. They have even gone b 0 tar as to suspend persons by tl a neck, who have nearly perished. Complaints have been sent down to Margarita fritm several persons. p..atknlirly in the case of a French sloop, whine cargo was completely robbed away.. Justice was in deed dune. that is. a small portion of the cargo was returned, and the Captain of the Independent felucca who had committed these piracies, as an example, was shot on the 13th of this month. His name was Peter Budiche, by birth a slave. A Danish brig, be hanging to our Government, lately seized en thecoast of this island an indeperdeat privateer, called the', Ootseon. The emit has.been condemned, and will, shortly be sold at auction, hut the crew was sent away.' NEVIS, FgBRUARY 20. • Arrived the Fortunatus, from Porto Cavallo ; ' , hell she railed, that place was in possession of the Royillist.. About a month ago, a division of Com modore RI ion's squadron (about 14 sail of schooners) was at Saha; they had come from Sc.. Domingo, and were bound to the +fain ; since which I have re ceived information of their arrival at Porto Santo; that Cumaha was closely invested by 3,500 Indepen dents, and had offered to surrender upon conditions, which were refused. General Bolivar was expected is be with this division 61 his army in a day or two, sad then it was understood the city would surrender at discretiop.; and thus the Independents will again b e i n p o ssession of that large province. A powerful divisiou has been detached against the city of Au gustus by land. An English schooner came in here yesterday from Porto Rico. Inc Master informs me, that on his passage be was boarded by another divi sion of Brion's sttuadron, from St. Domingo, to join the Commodore otilhe Main : it consisted of seven Iteamongst them two brigs of 2'2 guns each.— issseareely a vessel comes from leeward that does not fall in with sense of their privateers; but 1 hate heard of no instance where they have in the least molested the English Bag.

It is reported that the inhabitants of Carthagena, in conjunction with a revolted regiment of Royal troops, had taken possesbion of that City in the name of the Patriots. It is also reported, we know not upon what authority, that a Treaty has been con cluded between the United States and the King► of Spain, whereby the whole of Florida i. ceded to the firmer." The Imam, of 10 guns, Captain D►vnx, arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth, from the East Indies. She left the Mautitius on the 10th of Nwreinber, hay ing just previously been to Bengal for specie, and to Madras and Trincomalee for Mails, all which she has brought safely to England. Oa her way from the Mauritius, she conveyed a force to Tamatave, in the island of Madagascar, consisting of Capt. Ls SAGE, (who is called a Government Agent), a Sargeon, Se- 1 cretary, and about twenty artillerymen. They are' to be stationed At Ova, about 300 miles from 'l'.tma• have, and it is hoped and expected that their pr..zence will operate to effect an abolition of Slave-trading in that quarter. This abominable traffic is at present carried on by the Malays, who procure Slaves, some by purchase and more by •iolence, from the Eastern Coast of Africa, and make Madagascar their depot, whence they are clandestinely conveyed to the Isles Roderique, Bourbon, the Mauritius, &c.
