LONDON : MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. -....._. WE congratulate the public on the glorious victory obtained by Lord Exmouth and his brave fleet. An E4raordiaary Gazelle was yestenlay published, ,o - itaining the dispatches of Lord Exmouth, which were brought to the Admiralty Office, about nine o'clock, on .-iaturtlayevening by Capt. Brisbane, of the Queen Char bate. His Lordship, with a due attention to the feelings 01 . auxicty entertained in England respecting the expe dition, had sent his dispatches in duplicate—one copy by Rear-Adrairal Milne, in the Leander, which has not yet arrived; the other by Capt. Brisbane, who landed at Barcelona, and made the best of his way over land. No thing could be more rapid or decisive than LonlExmouth's meuures. He did not voile in Sight of Algiers ?until the 27th in the morning ; and before midnight he had wholly destroyed the Al,Terine fleet, reduced the bat teries to a state of dilapidation, and laid in ashes the store-houses and arsenal. 'The bombardment was one , of the most trmientlous ever /witnessed. The Congreve 4Jekets were of great service. Those siho have been at Algiers know with what abriunucss the sown _Lisa .froin THE NATIONAL REGISTER . the sea. Every street was 'risible to our fleet : every ship was equally visible to the inhabitants on shore. A great many spectators were collected on a hill eastward of the town. The position of the batteries so coranranding the harbour will amount for the number of killed and wound ed on our side, being 818 on board the British, and 65 on board the Dutch squadron ; but the loss of the enemy was far more severe, amounting, it is estimated, to between 6 and 7,000. The Dey had made every preparation for the must vigorous defence. Forty thousand men had been marched down from the interior, all the Janizaries called in from the distant garriaons, and every precaution taken to put the batteries in the bent condition. As he had firmly resolved to resist, he took no notice of the terms sent in by his Lordship in a flag of truce, and which. indeed were not of a nature to be readily accepted by a proud barbarian ; for he was requited in the name of the Prince Regent to abolish Christian slavery for ever, to deliver up all slaves in his dominions, of whatever na tion to the British flag, to make reparation for the losses sustained by the British Consul in consequence of his arrest, and even to beg pardon of the Consul publicly for the indi t ,mity offered in him. Severe as these terms must have appeared to the Dey, no long time was allowed him to deliberate. An answer not having been re turned in three hours, the British Admiral himself an chored in the entrance of the Mole, at about fifty yards distance. He was followed by all his ships in the ap pointed order; the Dutch Admiral, Van Capellen, with his squadron of frigates, taking a station to cover the flanking batteries. Thus begun one of the most tre mendous and effectual attacks that was ewer made by shipphig on a port protected by land batteries.— The conflict was deperute; but as every man on board had made up his mind to conquer or die., " all were eager," in the words of their noble Commander, "to ' attempt services which he found it more difficult to re strain than to excite." The Impregnable alone lost one hundred and fifty killed and wounded. The firing the ' enemy's ships so near our own was perilous in the ex treme; but when the order was at length given to exe cute this part of the duty, the outer frigate was boarded, and within ten minutes was in a perfect blaze. All the other ships in the port were set on fire by the flotilla of gun, mortar, and rocket boats; and the fire extending rapidly over the whole arsenal, storehouses, and gun boats, exhibited a spectacle of the most awfhl grandeur, and at the same time of the most terrible interest. From this; scene of devastation the assailants withdrew to a se cure distance about two o'clock in the morning of the :2 Bth ; and a few hours afterwards sent a letter to the Dey, such as probably no Mahometan Prince ever re ceived from a Christian ever since the days of the cru sades. Brief and sraperions as was its style, the Dey thoraght e fit m «imply %itiats demands. The same terms were granted him after the bombardment as had been offered before. The combined fleets had the gratification of having rendered a service of the utmost importance, not only to their respective countries, but to all nations, and to future ages; and the Admiral very properly di rected this great work to be closed with thanksgivings to Almighty GOD. Sir Robert Heron opposes Mr. Cust as Candidate for the vacant representation of Cie country of Lincoln. By the death of Robert Morris, Esq. of Bainwood Court, one of the seats for the City of Glouceter becomes vacant. Edward Webb, Esq. is the only person that has yet offered himself. Mr. Croker, Secretary to the Admiralty, is one of the candidates for Portsmouth. His opponent is Mr. Carter, the son of Sir S. Carter. Their Royal and Serene Highnesses Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold, enjoy excellent health, at their seat at Claremont. In al: their daily amusements her Royal Highness accompanies Prince Leopold. The Prince Regent, when the mode of relieving the distressed weavers of Spitalfields was suggested to him, with the most prompt humanity immediately ordered a considerable quantity of silk -to be made up for his own use. The I)uke.of Cambridge has followed this good ex ample ; and so also we understand have the Duke and I)uchess of Gloucester ; .and we may hope that tile influ ence of their Royal Highnesses will operate upon the nobility and gentry of both sexes, and by giving work to those who would much rather work than he, rescue rre my thownds of meritorious individuals from absolute want. The 'Managers if Drury-Lane and Covent-Garden Theatres have prohibited their performers - from acting at the English Opera. This prohibition has occasioned a correspondence between Mr. Arnold and Mr. Kinnaird, through the medium of the daily prints, and it would seem that their epistolary contest has not yet r,:aebed its termination. A further respite, &wine the Print• Regent's vleasttre, w:ts received by the Under Sherd of York, on Wednesday last, for Elk:the& Ward. The Duke-of Devonshire lately met with a serious accident, while Shooting moor game in Derbyshire, his Grace, it is feared, having injnrcd the tendon Achilles. About I o'clock-on Thursday night, as Captain Wombwell, Lieutenants Burdett (son -of Sir Francis) anti Drummond, of the 10th Hussars, were returning Xo Brighton in a .one horse tilhury, with. ceuviderakle .iteed, in•taiming the coiner of Marl. borough-row, to go along Chat ch.st reet, the vehicle went against' the blacssmith's -shop at the corner of the street, and was dashed to piece.. Mr. Burdett is severely hurt, Mr. Wombwell mach lacerated, and Mr. Druuutiouil did not escape without Ausbzre bruins. 16. The LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY SUNDAY. SEPT. 15, ISM ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, SEPT. 15. Captain Brisbane, of His Majesty's ship Qateea lute, arrived at this Office lasi night with the following dispatches from Admiral Lord Exmouth, G. C. B. al. dressed to John Wilson Croker, Fsq. :.- llneen Charlotte, Algiers-Bat, Aug. 29. Sir,—ln all the vicissitudes of a long life of public service, no circuaistsuce has ever produced on my mind such impressions of gratitude and joy as the event of yes. terday. To have been one of the humble instruments, in the hands of Divine Providence, for bringing to reason a ferocious Government, and destroying for. ever the insuf. finable and horrid system of Christian slavery, can never cease to be a source of delight and heartfelt comfort to every individual happy enough to be employed in it. I may, I hope, be permitted, under such impressions ; to offer my sincere confratulations to their Lordships on the: complete success which attended the gallant efforts of hi; Majesty's fleet in their attack upon Algiers of yesterday ; and the happy result produced from it on this day by the signature of peace. Thus has a provoked war of two e.ays' existence been attended by a complete victory, and closed by u renewed peace for England and her Ally the King of the Nether. lands, on conditions dictatLA by the finnness anti wisdom of his Majesty's Government, and commanded) by the vi gour of their measures. My thanks are justly due for the honour and confidence His Majesty's Ministers have been pleased to repose on my zeal, an this highly important occasion. The means were by them made adequate to my own wishes, and the rapi ' dity of their measures speak for themselves. Not more than one hundred days since I left Algiers with the. Bri tish fleet, unsuspicious and ignorant of the atrocities which had been committed at Bona ; that fleet on its ar- rival in England, was necessarily disbanded, and another, with proportionate resources, created and equipped ; and, although impeded in its progress by calms and adverse winds, has poured the vengeance of an insulted nation, is chastising the cruelties of a ferocious Government, with a promptitude beyond example, and highly honourable to the national character, eager to resent oppression orcruelty, whenever practised upon those under their protection. Would to God that in the attainment of this object I had not deeply to lament the severe hes of so many gal lant officers and men ; they have profusely bled in a con test which has been peculiarly marked by proofs of such devoted heroism as would rouse every noble feeling, did I dare indulge in relating them. • Their Lordships will already have been informed, by his Majesty's sloop Jasper, of my proceedings up to the 14th instant, on which day I broke ground from Gibraltar, after a vexatious detention, by a foul wind of four days. The fleet, complete in all its points, with the addition of five gun-boats, fi tted at Gibraltar, departed in the highest spirits, and with the most favourable prospect of reaching the port of their destination in three days ; but an adverse wind destroyed the expectation of an early ar rival, which was the more anxiously looked for by myself in consequence of hearing, the day I sailed from Gibraltar, that a large army had been assembled, and that very con siderable additional works were throwing up, not only on both flanks of the city, but also immediately about the entrance of the Mole : from this I was apprehensive that my intention of making that point my principal object of attack had been discovered -to the Dey by the same means he had heard of the expedition. This intel ligence was, on the following night, greatly confirmed by the Prometheus, which I had dispatched to Algiers some time before, to endeavour to get away the Consul. Capt. Dashwood had with difficulty succeeded in bring ing away, • disguised in midshipman's uniform, his wife and daughter, leaving a boat to bring off their infant child coming down in .a basket with the surgeon, who thought he hadcomposed it, but it unhappily cried in the gate-way, and in consequence the surgeon, 3 midshipno in all 18 persons, were seized and confined, as slaves in the usual dungeons. The child was sent off next morn ing by the Dey, and as a solitary instance of his huma nity, it ought to be recorded by me, Capt. Dashwood further confirmed, that about 40,000 men had been brought down front the interior, and all the Janissaries called in from distant garrisons, and that they were indefatigably employed in their batteries, gun brans, &v. and every where strengthening the sca-defcro. ces. The Dey informed Capt. Dashwood he knew perfectly well the armament was destined for Algiers, and asked him if it was -true ; he replied, if he had such infbrma. Lion he knew as much as 'he did, and probably from the same source—the public prints. The ships were all in port, andletween 10 and 50 gun and mortar-beats ready, with -several more in forward repair. The Dey had closely confined the Consul, and resused either to give him up or promise his personal safety:; nor would he hear a word respecting the officers and men seized in the boats of the Prometheus. , From the contintience of adverse winds and calms the land -ho the westward of .Algiers was not made before the ittith, and the next morning, at flay-break, the fleet was advanced in sight of the city, though not so near as ..I had intended. As the ships were becalmed, I .ezubrae.
