A Gentleman arrived yesterday, after a short voyage of three weeks, from Alga. There were atiout one hundred und fifty ships in the bar. boar, 'aden with Baltic product., which it was presumed, from the advanced state of the season, would in a few weeks set sail. There WAS nu oil. ficulty about American shipping, nor arty di,po. sition in the public Agents to obstruct American interests, and therefore a great many vessels of tither nations were consigned to the Consul of the United States, as the must adrantigeous means of recommending them to favour in the tiff •es where their papers were to be examined. This Gentleman, off the coast of Sweden, met with tO transports, accOmpanied by an English frigate, which, it was supposed, were cutter.) ing the au,sian seamen to their own country who were bruugbt trout the Tagus. By a private vessel we have received a letter from Malaga, dated the 25th ult. Seventeen Dan. ish ships in that port were advertised to be bola.
