C. H. Coma of 11 AItDENIILIW-REVENTLAU 131,:ne at Belli'', ill's Amylast, 181'1. OCT. O. certeetv and tormentine suspeese, well as the treromere wool, we lo:; experienced on board of the Aleerine frigste. that we hailed the capita.l of tb, se tree-loeters with the sante joy with wlich the Noiehts of Clori.d bowed to the Sltrine of Jerusalem. We were landed aleidst a, noisy inte.oude, who followed us to the house in which the Aliidoer , of Cie 11egtocy sere ranted in a harharous attire. Here we toned laMt be Consul and Vice-Consul of Great Britain, and we tremblirsly awaited for the grt at sentence which was to decide our destiny. Our plpers were examined, and iii spite of the eff..ots Made in our favour by the Consul, M Macdonald, our vessels and cargo were cot.deunned as lawful p:ize, and ourselves sent to the Bagno, or Great Galley. There we were told that all were slaves who set 0 cir feel in that place; and there was written ter those gates as on those of hell, I Uscite di speranza o Vol, the entrate.' " The troubles and agitation of our mind may be more readily imagined than described. We, accustomed to live a'nrng c - !t nations, and in the society of genteel and amiable people, to be thus condemneu to pass our miserable days amidst barbarians ; we, coming from happy England, front the scat of troe liberty and of the sacred !awe; to he robbed of our freedom and property —to be insid.ed and made wretched by a ceutemptible race et slaves and assassins ! Anil in what times, in what circumstances ? When the suit of hhertv dawned on the world—when, after so ripely years of calamity, Enrols began its hope for sonic serene days—when, iii flee, we could have returned to our own cern:try, and to the cujeyment if long•sespeuded tranquillity. I And shall we, at >uch a time, be covieinned to drag a in set b Irk exist race as slaves, and die on the wretched slicers of Africa ? " 1 had been glycol to underscold that ereut interest had been made for rue ; and, in tact, a Tioki,h sohlier came to US to desire that I, in particular, might be treated with some respect. Hope began to t her r up my iii jeered cenntenaece. 1.31 n evening crone, and with it the heal badges of shivery. The fetters %Odell each slave carries to I l i; ker, were brought ; and, as a special mark of layeur, I was permitted to wait till next day, when I should be sudered to put them on myself. " At. dawn of day our goalers waked ns, and we prepared ourselves to march off to the morning labours. The sight ut those fellers har rowed up my soul, and it shrunk within roe. I grasped them with toy p !relied and convulsive hands, and ericircled my legs with them, while tears of rage ran down my cle cks, aud a chilly shuddering shook all my limbs. To Heaven I then raised my haul;—my head sunk low on my breast, and I surrende;td myst If in silent sorstee to my wretch‘d destiny." ALGETiINE PIRATES. The following narrative, taken from nn Italian Journal, published in London, gives a horrid picture of the bolia.zoties with which these '' friends of the sen, and enemies of ell who sail upon it," tore, to the di-grace of all civilie , ol Europe, permitted to profane the age in which we live. I- , it time that those Pt! ()chit-, should he t 4 rinioated ? !loci is it nat an nodertalsieg worthy of those who are e.oployed in putting a stop to the cioloyery of the Ali leans of the south, by cruel and inn cenary Faolteans, to prevent tho moduo) Africans from seizing and earryieg into slay; ry the unoffendiug citizens of Lurope ? " We set sail from the island of St. Pietro, where we had taken shelter fro ti several suspicious vessels that had been seen beveling around us the day before. Ike inhabitants of this little spot are it gelid and a peaceful p-ople. They enjoy a perfect freedom, and 'would be eomphody happy. but for the very ft - event landings and incursions of the ALerines, who. some few years back, ca ried away the Khule popu lation to hard labour and slavery, from which they were afterwards rescued by the munificence of the King of "err:ll:lie. " The sun was slowly rising above the ho:io et, when four suspicious sail, the same which had been st..ten two days before, appeared in sight. On approaching nearer, the whole extent of our dangerous si:uttion became more evi6ent. We immediately attempted to alter our course ; bet by an uulucky fatality, the wind, which hitherto had been rather fresh, failed us on a sudden. An iron hand seemed to fasten us tin the way, s. The seamen, stupified by terror and grief at the sight of those well known ships, forgot their duties, and nothing was attempted for our safety. For six long hours hid we remain in this awful state of sus pense, till at last the four strange soil, which we now made out to be the Algerine sou idron, came within pistol shot of as. Their boats were soot) hoisted, and we were boarded in an instant, amidst the clash to' Naked se:meters, and the heart-rending, horrible noise of the most bar barous and insulting exultation. As soon as the vessel had been talie,t oosseplrioo of, and part of the piooengers, amongst whom I found myself, been kndctebol and thrown boo the boats , we were taken on board f flag-ship. ton our arrival thither, the Turks and the Moors raised ro.-ir ferocious sh nits of victory, anti we were draeged before the first who assigned to 'he whole of us a most wretched hors in the cable C a r, surround-A by darkness, and Lying upon coils of ropes Who shall describe the horrors of ow situation ? It seemed to us a dream horrib;e shadows alit' unreal mocker'. Ott all parts we were assailed by the cries of despair. The sullen ida•phernies of the sailor, our How sufferer ; the imprecations of the unhappy father, who had Vtt les children behind him ; the loud grief of the weeping mothers; sod the sobs of the innocent babes, reached us from every point of this dark abode, and deafened our curs ;Oh God what a night ! " We continued eruizine fbr 2`4?. days in seare'a of prey, ourselves be. come corsairs; and two bowers of lascussa ftirmed our daily food. Lock men was asked, why he travelled in company with n banditti ? To see how they have contriver] to become so wicker] and profligate,' was his reply.

For landing, or continuing on shore when landed, between the 7th and I2th of June, near Tart agona, a large qinuitity of heavy artil lery, ammithitiiai, and stores, when he had good reason to believe that no real betieflt would be derived for ten or twelve days 4s to pro ducing the fall of Tarragona by these awl when he had received - information, %%hie!, he believed, that long heloce that time a super.or force of the enemy would be near him, and was aware that the siege must then be abandoned; knowing at the sante time the great riff.culry I and dangers attending a sudden re-emb4rkathes oil that coast ; such couduct, being highly rutinilitaq, and against the spirit of his in structions. '2.

For neidect of duty, in hastily re-embariiing the forces under his command without aby previous preparutions Of afrangtownts, and thug precipitately abandoning a considerable quantity of stores,. and ammunition, about the 12th id June, 1813, rear Tarragona, wiles t ate was so far from being compelled to this degrading measure, by the immediate epproach of any superka force, or by Any oilier suthcatatt cause, that by due zeal, firmness, and exertion', the greater part, if not the whole, might have been embarked in safety; Admiral Uallo well, who was at the time on duty at the station, enea l 4ing to effect the same ; such condact being hietily to the prejudice of the service, arid detrimental to the British military character. • (Signed) E.
