Captain Charles Pelley, a passenger on board of the
Hoop May, captain Duncan Hill, from St. Christo
pher's, out twenty-two days, declares, that about four
days before he left St. Eultatia, where he took his
passage on board laid sloop, which might be on the 3d
or 4th of March last, he law a certain Montgomery,
whom he knew several years, and was then mate of an
English fllip from London, who acquainted capt. Pelley,
that about ten days before that date, they met with
three Aigerine vessels, about thirty leagues to the east
ward of Barbadoes, confiding of two ships, one of
twenty-two guns, the other of fourteen, and one
xebec of twelve guns; that the Algerines bore down
with an easy fail to the (hip in which Montgomery
was, and ordered the captain of the ship to come on
board, which was accordingly done. The captain of
the Algerine twenty-two gun ship interrogated him on
the quarter deck with the following questions, viz. From
whence he came ? Where he was born ? Where bound ?
And if he had any American property on board ? The
English captain answered he came from England, was
born there, and was bound to Carlifle Bay, and that
he had no American property on board. The Alge
rine then ordered him to return to his own vessel,
and bring all his papers relative to his lading, and
clearance from the customs, which being done, the
Algerine was fatisfied, and after treating him genteelly,
dismissed him, at the fame time telling him he was on a
cruise for American vessels.
Montgomery further laid, they concluded at firft
fight they were American ships, as they were Ame
rican built, who had captured the xebec, and that
they were all clean faft-failing vessels and full of men.
The whole of the conversation was carried on be
tween the Algerine and the English captain in proper
English. Captain Pelley further declares, he has no
doubt of his informant's veracity, but believes the
relation to be a fad.

"Perhaps you arc not thoroughly informed that the
British navigation aft, is enforced in such a manner as
absolutely to prohibit the entry, at any port in Great-
Britain, American ships loaded with the produce of
America, either all or in part, upon any other condition
than the captain of every veflel, on his arrival, muff
declare upon oath, that the ship, &c. is really and
bona fide wholly American property; also that such
commander, with at least two-thirds of his crew, are
fubjeds, &c. of the United States of America; other
wif: the vessel's cargo cannot be admitted to an en
try in any customhouse in Britain ; but must, of course,
go to some foreign market, or return to America'.
If this material matter should not be generally known
on your fide, please to communicate the fame, for the
government of ship owners, merchants, &c."

" Government have lately granted, at the request of
the American minister, that American ships bona fide,
touching at Gibraltar, may be provided with passes,
and have leave to navigate under the British flag, in
order to screen them from the troublesome visits of
the Barbary corsairs; on condition however of their
conforming to certain stipulated regulations, and pay
ing the accustomed port duties, &c. at Gibraltar."
May 2. Late papers fay, tha. preparations for war
are making on the continent of Europe, with unre
miting diligence, especially in all the sea ports of France
and Spain—that the emperor is daily recruiting his
large army—and that his Prussian majesty seemed zea
lously bent on reinstating his relation, the ftadtholder,
to the full enjoyment of all his privileges, be the con
sequences what it may.—And from Madrid we learn,
that that court observes the most profound secrecy, in
regard to the real state of affairs in their South Ame
rican provinces ; but that private advices from that quar
ter of the globe, represent a continuance of the fovercign
ty of Spain as exceedingly precarious, since the na
tives have, within these few years afforded numberless
proofs of an unanimous and inflexible determination
to emancipate themselves from the tyranny of the
Spanish government.
