: Saturday night last, arrived here, brig
Fame, Cape. Jordan, 68 days from S^Ubes;
He Wormr, that & packet arrived at Lif
bonf two days before he failed, in three daya
from England—she broughtihe account of
the capture of 14 E n glish Indiamen, off
Cape Good Hope, by a French fquadroa.
Just before C^p'. Jordan Jefe Lifb)n, our
Consul there informed him that they had
received account of the defeat of the Aus
trian army—a few days before they had re
ceived the account of the defeat of the
French, and the court of Portugal had or
dered rrj jiciogs. but their joy by this reverie
of fortune, was turned into mourning. The
Austrian armv had got the advaot^e of the
French, and purfoed them tcrofs the Rhine,
but the Bench being met by reinforcements,
turned upoi file Auibia^, puriued them a
erob the- Rhine, with immeofe (laughter,
quid were in porfuit of them. Great talk
of peace, at Lfb>n.
A very large privateer, fchoonet rigged,
mounting 30 heavy pieces of cannon, is
cruising in the bay of Bfcay, and has made
very great havoc with the English and Por
tuguese trade-her objed is to deOroy all |
the meets, and to land the prisoners on the
hearest coast. She belongs to Bordeaux.

E*traß of a letter from Copt. Rtcbard O Brie*, ^wbe has
Algiers, to the surprise and sorrow of our
political enemies. ^^^^
" Qa the rith Sept. I failed from Al
giers, arrived at Malaga on the 19th, and
egme by land to Groh, charged with the
difp^che, of Mr. Djoaldfon, to our eftcem
ed countryman Col. Humphreys, who, Lam
forty to inform you, was abfeot, having gone
to Paris to solicit the influence of the Con
vestion towards obtaining a, peace with the
Algerines, not expeding Mr. Donaldson
would succeed ; but as Col. Humphreys has
heard of the peace taking place, he will
shortly be at Libia. <"
" The most of the chriflian nations at
peace with Algiers, gave the United States
great oppofi ions and if Mr. Donaldson had
not obtained the peace in the manner he did
be assured the United States would not for
many years have had an opportunity to have
effded it ; and the longer the affair was 1
prolonged, the more difficult and exorbitant
their demands. The dey and regency would
not admit the captives to be redeemed un
der the enormous sum of four hundred thou
sand Mexican dollars.
" We are at peace with Morocco, and
the de, and regency of Algiers, but we have
go obtain a peace with Tunis, Tripoli and
the O^omah empire ; with the latter, the
French influence can be of service to the U
nited States. The Tooifians have many cor
sairs ; I believe <2 ; they are often as far as
Barcelona, Alicaot, Carthegena, Port Ma
hon, and Yvica ; therefore the commerce
of the United States should be properly
guarded, for if any American be taken by
the Tunisians, it will occasion their terms to
be more exorbitant ; and 1 think the Unit
ed States will have to encounter more dif
ficulties than are generally coofidered of.
f "On Coi. Humphreys's arrival in this
city, we are certain that nothing on hit part
will be.wanting towards facilitating a peace,
with the other Barto, states, and freeing
our colours in the Mediterraneans When
the United States are at ptace with all the
Barbary States, and out colours free, we must
have from three to five hundred fail of mer
chantmen in these fw. In case of anyfud
den difturbince with any one, what security
has this important commerce ? therefore,
there is no alternative ; but policy ,nd ne
ctffity must oblige the United States to have
built, and have ready to ad on any emer
gency, 15 or 20 (ail of good (hip, of war,
viz. 6 frigates, of 44 guns ; 6 (hips, of 24
guns ; 4 brigs, of 18 guos ; and 4 fchoon
m of 16 guns— This fleet ft certainly requi
fire for the United States to keep up in
times of peace, and will cause our flag to be
refpe&ed ; otherwise, as I observed above,
there is no security for our extended com
merce. It would be necessary that of the
above fleet two frigater, two brigs, and two
schooners, be at times at Gibraltar, Cadiz,
Port Mahon, Genoa, &c. ; The expiring
the Mediterranean, and doing all to their
power to eoiffite tothe honor and inter
ests of the United States, will much prevent
the insinuations, bribes and intrigues of our
commercial enemies from having the defir
mg tto fleet , wed depend on it, without ,
them we can have no real security. \

qual to oce third of Europe, our opening

will very fooo reimburse the United States
the money expended on this bufinefr. The
vessels of the United States are free in the
Mediterranean at present with the Algerines,
and will not require passports until the ex
piration of one lunar year-then the pass
ports should be done and cut, with trophies
of the marine arms of the U. States. You
may depend, that had not Mr. Donaldlon
succeeded as he did, I had my fears that the
Portuguese would have been admitted on
favorable terms, io order to surprise the ne
gleftful Americans. The U. States should
put no dependance on Portugal, who thrb'
policy and necessity, must be fubfervieot to
the views and intrigues of the British and
Spanish courts.
Col. Humphreys has been and is the life
and foul of this business, which opens the
