On Saturday last arived here the Chip Fame,
Robert Blunt, master, in 57 days from Lift
, bon— Capt. Blunt informs, that it was more
than probable, that Portugal would speedily
renew the blockade, of Algiers, that court
having rejeded the terms proposed by the
Dey as the price of peace, that three
Cartels had passed to and from Algiers on
the business of negociation, but without
profpea of accommodation ; that the Dey
was tully apprised of their determination and
that a force adequate to keep the Algerines
within the Streights were getting in readi
ness against the return of the third Cartel,
when it was expe&ed the result would befi
nally known.
Capt. Blunt mentions a circumstance
which while it yielded a temporary relief to
our fuffering Brethren in slavery, exhibits
an example of genuine benevolence, after
wffl&irfll be degrading in Americans
now not to imitate— The masters, mates, and
.feam§ n belonging to American vessels in Lis
bon, and some merchants there, had col
steeled by fubfeription 200 joes for the relief
of American captives in Algiers, which was
immediately transmitted to them, this spir
ited dotation, after contending with adverse
feffutefdi several months themselves, is a
credit to our nature, and in this generous
dhfief citizens exceeds all praise—Vivas no
bl, done, and the aft itfelf is a monition to us,
to go send do likewise.,

The following prices current of the Stocks

of the assertion, that it was the determination
ofthe British court, to go to war with the
United States, at all events : as it is certain
the monied men in England would not invest
their monies in our funds, unless fatisfied of

" There is nothing here but wars and tu

aside in this part of the world, after taking
most of our vessels: There's a lift of 600 and

Guadaloup was taken with great loss on both
sides. Basseterre is burnt to ashes—there
were 15 or 20 fail of American vessels in there
when taken. I have seen a gentleman who
left,the Windward islands a day or two ago,
who was at the vendue of the American ves

fold for almost nothing.
" American produce is very low, except
flour, on account of so many prizes being
