Fata THE MEDITERRANEAN.
The United States fchr. Enterprize,
commanded by the gallant Sterrett,
Arrived yesterday, from a cruize in the
Mediterranean. Capt, S. touched at
Gibraltar on the Bth. Odober, but hav
ing been ordered by Commodore Dale
to America, with dispatches, he failed
immediately, without going ashore.
. The accounts which we have heard
of the capture of a Tripoline corsair by
the Enterprise, have been pretty accu
rately Rated, and the particulars may
be expected in a day or two from the
, Navy Department; of an a^ion the
most deiultory and Qbltintuc that has
occurred these many years. The cor
sair was a Greek built ihip, of about
250 tbns, 14 guns, and 85 men. Af
ter lighting very desperately for nearly
two hours, the hauled down her colors,
and the men of the Enterprise left their
guns, and gave three cheers for the vic
tory. At this moment the pirate pour
ed in a broadside, up witli his colors,
and renewed the combat with ffelh
vigor, continually attempting to board,
and the crew brandishing their fabres
glittering in the fun, shewed all the
frantic fury of cannibals. Overcome,
however, by the superior prowess, and
ikill of the brave and persevering crew
of the Enterprize, the Barbarian struck
again. Capt. Sterrett then ordered her
under his quarter, keeping his men to
their guns. As soon as they had gain
ed the position ordered, they opened a
whole broadside again into the Enter
prize, hoisted their bloody flag a second
time, and attempted to board. Fight
on, was the cry on board the schooner,
andfink the perfidious villains to the bottom !
Every nerve was drained to get a per
manent victory ; and Capt. Sterrett's
superior (kill in the management of his
vessel enabling him to rake her inces
santly fore and aft, and make great
havoc and devaluation on board his an
tagonist, the issue was certain. Her
mizen mast was carried by the wounds
it received, sixteen or eighteen shot be
tween wind and water opened her sides
for the sea to pour in at, and fifty men
killed and wounded ftrewud her decks.
Her treacherous commander feeing
their total deftrudioh or surrender in
evitable, implored for quarters ; and
Lending in a supplicating posture over
rhe watte of his vessel, threw his colors
with his own hands into the sea, to con
vince his opponents that they fliould
not be hoisted again. Capt. Sterrett,
touched with the humanity of a brave
conqueror, notwithstanding their infa
mous behavior, flopped the effufion of
blood ; but as his inftru&ions would
hot permit him to make prize of her,
he ordered them to.throw every gun,<
sword, pistol, their ammunition, and
every thing which had the appearance
bf an implement of war, into the sea,
and then bid them to go about their bu
siness, and tell their countrymen the
treatment they might expert to receive
from a nation determined to pay their
tribute to such villains in powder and
ball.
The Enterprize, during the whole
affair, which lifted about three hours,
loft not @.man.
The corsair fell in with Commodore
Dale in his way to Tripoli, and told
him that it was a French ship of war
which had used him in so rough and
uncouth a manner, and begged a few
articles which he flood in need of.
An officer of the Enterprise, bar politely favored the
Editors of the Fe^ral Gazette with tbe.fottov>-
ing articles : —
august 1, 1801. Off Malta, fell in with and
teaptuted a Tripoline corsair, (a ship mounting
§4 guns, and 85 men, after an obftihate en
gagement of three hours.
august 5, an infurredHon took place at
Tripoli amongst the principal inhabitants, in
consequence of a report chat the admiral was
captured by an American vcffel—but, by the
policy of the Bafhaw, it at length subsided.
The Tripoline cruizers are still at Gibraltar,
And nearly deferred by their crews ; the few that
remain are reduced to the necessity of carrying
burdens to obtain a wretched fubfittence. The
admiral left Gibraltar in an English convoy for
Malta, and thereby escaped the vigilance of our
wiffcls.
The report stated in . the American papers, of
thedifaffedion of the Maltese towards the En
glim, is erroneous; they appear perfectly fatis
fied With their present situation.
Alexandria had not fallen ; and having pro
rtred a tupply of water, was expected to make
an obflinate resistance.
The spanifh gun-boats at Algefiras are daily
carrying in our veffils, 15 of which lay there,
but being under quarantine, while at that place,
could hot procure a lift of their names. The
Spanish government have issued orders to their'
p.un.-boats to nioleft no vessel bound to Gibraltar,
bringing supplies for the American squadron.
The report of the Spaniards making prepara
tions for an attack on Gibraltar, is without foun
dation. The frigate President was at Gibraltar,
and the otter frigates cruising in the Mediter
ranean ; but, however, expelled in.
The following are the the particulars of an
infurredion that happened at Algiers about the
18th September, as dated by Consul O'Brien :
When the Dey was in his mosque at prayers
with bis aids, 10 Turks entered the palace arm
ed, took possession of his feat, hauled dow, his
colors, secured the palace doors, hoisted a flag
for a new >,, ahd, from the windows above,
offered a reward of 10,000 fcquios to any per
lon who would take bis life. A§ he could not
gome out of the door of the mosque, on account
of its being situated under the wiadowtert the
palace, Mhd the Turks within having ic in their
power to fife Upon them,they cut a paflage thru'
the back of the|building, and entering the pal
age attacked the insurgents, feyen of whom m^de
their escape, toother three fought until two of
Ahem, 9v ercomc ty tors ^WM were compell
ed to futrerider. The other was cut to pieces
in the Dey's feat, after usurping that poftof
honor for three hours, All, however, was qui
et when we left there, the 22d September.

NEW-YORK, NOV. 18.
Accounts from New-Orleans state, that the
yellow fever was increasing. A letter from
thence mentions, that that country,and province
are absolutely ceded to the French by the Span
iards- And that Bowles and the Indians are
very troublesome, having killed fever^fyanith
soldiers and settlers.

BOSTON, NOV. g,
FROM RUSSIA—LATE.
Accounts received here from Russia, state,
that party spirit runs high in the capital of that
empire :—That Conflancine, brother to the
Emperor —who is equally hated and despised by
the greater part of the nation—is at the head|
of a" sea" devoted to France, and aded upon
by the intrigues of Duroc ; —whereas the Em
peror considers the true interests of his country
to consist in a forcible opposition to the intro
duaion of French principles and manners.—Of
consequence his predilections are more strongly
in favour of the English than the French.

MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.
On Monday evening, Mount-Lebanon Lodge
was installed in ample and ancient form, by the
Grand Lodge of this Commonwealth, at Ma
sons- Hall, in Market- Square.: —The ceremonies
were performed with great accuracy—the mu
sic was appropriate, and executed by an excel
lent choir—and the fatisfadiom of the jedmpany,
of which a number were npt of the fraternity,
appeared complete. - After the ceremonies, the
whole partook ofa fumptucus entertainment at
Marean's Hall.

The Semillante Frigate,,
The Semillaute frigate, on Monday last,
weighed anchor and proceeded to Lynnhaven
bay, where she came too, in a heavy fog with
r in half a mile of the British frigate Androma
che, but on finding she was so contiguous to a
"fraternal embrace," she immediately returned,
(as we are told) to her old Ration.—lt is said,
that a vessel from L'Orient, which arrived yes
terday, brought the officers of the Scmillante, a
great many letters ; some of which it is rumour
ed, doth not very highly approve of her flay
ing here during this season of the Yellow Fe
ver. There being two English frigates here
now, the has a fair opportunity to shew her
skill, and if unfuccefsful, she could lose no hon
or in being taken, when two to ode against her.

Ame Rican Cheese in England!
Extras of a letter from a Pbtfeian of great emi
nence in London, to bis friend near Boston.
" The two cheeses came fafely to
hand and were truly acceptable. At an
entertainment, not long since, at my
country residence at Grove-hill, which
was very numerous, I could hardly
convince some of my guests that the
cheese was any other than English, un
til I shewed the mark on them of
" Callender's Cheese Cellar, Boston." —
They all agreed that they would have
done credit to the firfl dairies in England."

By the ihip Two Sifters, Capt. Sal

vious to his failing, the Emperor was
suddenly taken sick, and a report in
stantly flew abroad that he was
poifoned,—it happily proved to be falfe,
and a few days before the Two Sifters
failed, the Emperor left Peterfburgh
for Moscow in high health and spir
its.
The Captain ofa coaster, who arrived yester
day, informs, that four days since, off the Capes,
he spoke and boarded a brig from London for
