" After many difficulties & anx,

tablish and to renew our treaty with
the Regency of Algiers, this long
time I had almost despaired of effect

Yesterday arrived the brig Baron

in Bo days from Leghorn. Oithe
13th May left, he was boarded 3
leagues to the westward of the road,
by two privateers, one called Ronde

mertire,Pigo, matter ; the firff plun
dered the vessel, but more particular
ly a passenger on board ; they took
all his trunks, bed and bed clothes,
land cafhtoa coafiderable amount, &
left him only the shirt and what
1 clothes he had on at that time. This
, was done within long gun (hot of
I two English frigates one 40 gun
I (hip, and two (loops of war. An En
glish brig, called the Mediterranean,
that failed in company with Capt. M'-
Call, took proteaion under the guns
of Leghorn, and so eleaped. They
sent a prize-matter from each priva
teer, with ten men on board Cept.
M'Call, and at the fame time they
manned a Swedish brig from Boston,
bound to Leghorn, called the Gusta
vus, they carried both vessels into
the gulph of Efpefcis, where Capt.
M'Call was detained until he sent an
exprefir to the American Consul at
Leghorn. He- was cleared on the
ira, as also the Swedish brig. The
, fame evening Capt. - M'Call failed,
and on the 20th, was boarded by a
nother French privateer's boat, with
20 men ; they broke down the brig's
bulk heads to get into the hold, broke
; open federal packages of the cargo,
©0 pretence to look for papers, and
done considerable damage ; towards
. night they left 'the brig, and told the
Capt. he might fail & steer hit couife.
Capt. M'Call has brought dis
patches from the American Consul to
the Secretary of State, relating to

PT THE LAST MAIL.
Boston, aug. 17. FROM FRANCE.
Benjamin Hichborn, Enquire, of this
town, who hat resided some years io
France, arrived from that Republic
since our lift. He left France the
17th June, and was on his passage
captured by La Raifon, British frig
ate, Capt. Beresford $ the vessel he
was in was ordered for Halifax, and
Mr. H. was taken on board the frig
ate, where he remained four days, and
then took piffage in the Hynde,
Capt. Hodges, from Calcutta, for
Salem ; where he arrived on Sunday.
Mr. H. (peaks in very handsome
terms of the polite and gentleman
like condua of Capt. Beresford, when
on board La Raifon.
The political news by Mr. H/is
but a few days later than before re
ceived. PEACE between Austria
and France was expeded, notwith
ffanding the actions on the Rhine,
which were but partial, and by no
means involved any ferioos conse
quences. The development of the
conspiracy of Drouet, &c. was not
completed. .
The American Ambiffador at Pa
ris, is refpeded and esteemed ; and
the French government have the
fame idea of the prerogatives of an
independent nation that we have.—
They know they have a right to
form any national compact they
please, without confiilcing us ; and
they know the United States have
an equal right. They appear to with
for peace, and to cultivate the friend
(hip of all nations.
FROM RUSSIA———LATEST.
Yesterday Capt. Smith arrived
here from St. Petersburg, in 74
days. He informs, that in Den
mark vigorous preparation were
making for WAR. That unit,
ed Danish and Sweedifh fleets
lay in Copenhagen road, com
pletely victualled and manned ;
and that m Norway, two French
privateers had taken and carri
ed into Creflianfand, 14 British
ships richly laden from the Bal
tick,,
On Friday last, failed from
this harbor, the (loop Portland
Packet, Thurlo, in government
service, bound for Halifax,hav
ing on board H®n. David How
ell, Esq. Commissioner on the
part of the United States, to de
termine our Eastern boundary/
the Hon. James Sullivan, Esq.
Agent in the fame business ; &
federal gentlemen paflengerf.
She js to proceed to Halifax,
where the preliminary business
with the English Cgmmiffio^er,
Thomas Barclay, Esq. will be
tranfa&ed ; after which (he will
go to the vicinity of the contro
verted boundary, where the
bofinefs will be dec dcd.
The scourges of war ought
ever to be held in view to deter
nations from intailing them,
from passion or ambition. We
therefore give the following an
ecdote, which may be relied on,
and which we have learnt from
a gentleman who left the Weft
indies last month. V^hen the
18th regt, arrived at Barbaioes
with Admiral Christie's Iquad
ron, it consisted of 750 effective
men ; in two months it loft, by
the fever, 575-— the remains
were then incorporated with the
remnent of another regt, which
had Been there some time ;
an&it the time our informant
left the islands, both confided of
no more than 105 effectives.
