M A D R I D, July 17.
OUR armament, which was ^emb^J at Criha- 1
geha, was to have failed June 1. to attempt a '
coup de zz:^% againtt Algier, to put a period to tbe :
piracies of that Regency in .bur seas ; but was de
tained by contrary winds to the end of that month.:
The fleet being then arrived off Algier, Don :
Pedro Catiejon, who had the Command of it, with.
Count O Reiley, General of the land forces, agreed|
to remain in the Bay till such time as circiimitmcesf
Should favour a debarkation. In the n.ean time they:
found that the Regency, taking advantage of the 1
retardment of the fleet, and not knowing its dedi-1
nation, had prepared for a vigorous defence., In 1
order to divert the attention of the enemy from the
place where the debarkation was proposed to be made,
orders were given for the St. Joseph and L'Orient
to make a falfe attack on two forts, and Come re
doubts, which was executed with great e%a&ne,fs ;
but the St. Joseph having her principal cable cut by
a ball, was driven by the current near a Battery of
the enemy, in which ihe greatly buffered in her hull
and mails.
The place of debarkation being fixed, and the
time favourable, the two Generals gave the necefftry
orders for landing, which was on tlte Bth, at four in [
the morning. For this purpole seven columns ofj
final! vessels were formed, which were covered by
the fliips of war ; and a body of 8000 men was
lauded at a proper place, a league and an half from
the coast of the Levant, which was executed in the
belt order, with profound silence, and the greeted
readiness. The remaiudr of the army followed
with the greatest celerity imaginable, and were all
landed in four hours time.
Though the number of the enemy which opposed
our troops from all parts was immense, they would
certainly have poffiffed themselves of an advantageous
post upon an eminence, it our fi.it body, animated
by an inconsiderate ardour and impeiuofity of cou
rage, had not, contrary to the express ordcis of the
General, engaged the enemy too soon ; so that the
second body, scarcely landed, had no other part to
take than immediately to inarch to fulfain them, and
endeavour with them to seize the post, or retire' to-!
gether in the bed: order poflible; the a&ion, how
ever, soon became general, and continued for the
remainder of the day.
Our troops finding themselves extremely fatigued
from tire heat of the weather, as well as from being
in continual a&ion for thirteen hours, without any
hopes of rendering their project practicable, Count
O'Reiley, in conceit with the other generals, rc
folved to reimbaik the whole army, winch was hap
pily executed the fame night, together with the ar
tillery, ammunition, carriages, &c.
The two commanders bellow the greatest eulogi
ums on the union, intrepidity and refutation, with
which all the officers, both by tea and land, as well
as the foldieis and bailors, eonduaed themselves in
all the above operations ; and aie convinced that they
should have absolutely had the mod happy and com
pleat success, had not the hrif body of troops, by
their ill-tinned courage, prematurely commenced the
attack as before-mentioned.
The l?fs of the Moors on this occasion was very
confirmable: Ours amounts to 600 killed, among !
whom are the Marquis de Romana, Canfp-Marfh.il, ;
and Don Jerome Carmani, Lieutenant-Colonel. Ourl
number wounded is 1800, the greater part (lightly.
Among thele are Lieutenant General/Don Antonio
Ricaados; the Count d'Afalto, and Don Louis
Uibina, Camp-Matfhals; Count Fernan Ntintx,
Count del Montijo, and the Marquis de Videna,|
Brigadiers ; Colonel Dan Augustin Villena ; Lied- (
tenant Colonel Don Pedro de Goroflizaj and the ?
four Aids de Camp of the General in Chief, viz.;
Don Felix Muiqaiz, Don Joachim dOquando, Don §
Antonio Cornel, and Don Francis Saavedra; also !
twelve out of the fixtten engineers that were landed, j
With refpe& to the marine we have learnt, that onj
board the St. Joseph there were three men killed and }
nineteen slightly wounded ; among the latter are the 1
Commandant Don Manuel Varfema, the lecond Cap- §
tain, Don Juan Moreno, and the Lieutenant of the|
fliip, Don Joachin Luzan.
L OND O N,
A correspondent fays, that the advising the impor
tation of foreign troops (on any pretence whatever) [
into any part of the British empire, is High Treason
to the constitution.
Auguji 5. The Ministry Hand so much in need of;
pens to support their measures, that pensions are I
ordered to the author of Remarks on the principal 1
Acts of the lafl Parliament, to the Dean of Gloucester,
and to Sir John Dalrymple, for their American|
publications. Dr. Juhnfon, and Dr, Shebbeare, are ;
at the duty work again.
There cannot be a greater proof of the effect of
Ministerial power, by means @f coiruption, than the
silence of Junius, and the author of the heroicl
epistle and poftfeript, during,he prelent abominable ,
system of American measures. Junius to be so loud ,
on the paltry folliesof a Grafton, and so silent while 1
his country is hurling to headlong ruin, has a dismal f
appearance. What are Mr. Hine's patent, and thel
business of Balf and Macquirk, compared to the
deftiu&ion coming upon us at present?
The principal adventurers, who care not how near
the British glory may be to its setting, what dorms
may be brewing, what clouds may lower on our
political horizon, if, amidst the darkness and con
fufion, they can dittance their competitors, and
(however unfairly it matters not) come in firft oars at
the next ministerial regatta.
Desperate gamesters, who are ready to set upon a
tingle cast, the nation's prosperity, freedom and
oxiftence, provided they have a chance for sweeping
the Hakes.
It is certain that three thousand persons in the
nail-making business are out of employment, and two
thousand more are soon expe&ed to be in the fame
condition, entirely owing to our unhappy differences :
with America.
The Ministry are so determined on carrying a land|
and window tax in Ireland, that several boroughs arel
already promised to cuftom-Eoufe officers, subaltern
officers in the army, and many people who have not
the lead title to such a situation either from rank or
property.

Lad week a veflel from the Weft-Indies, with a
cargo of rum, sugar, &c. consigned to Capt. Phripp,
of Norfolk, was seized by the Miniflerial pirates, and
sent to Boston, for the use of their Brethren in
vickednefs there; who now begin to stand in need of
artificial spirits, to support their drooping courage.
And on Saturday between two and three o'clock in
the afternoon, an officer with twelve or thirteen
soldiers, and a few sailors, landed at the county
wharf in Norfolk, under cover of the men of war,

should the party be molested) and marched up the
We hear that a Press is soon to be set up on board
the (hip which Lord Dunmore lately seized from
Messrs. Eilbeck, Ross, and Co. under his Lordship's
own immediate infpeaion, with proper affiants; so
that we may soon expert to fee the GOSPORT
CHRONICLE published by authority, which, it is
said, is to contain, occasionally, the commentaries of
a certain illuflrious chief's wars in Vandalia, some
curious anecdotes, diverting flories, and a number of
other valuable and interesting particulars, which no
doubt will enlure to this new publication a very exten
sive circuit, and consequently redound to their credit
and intereJi of its noble Proprietor.
WATERTOWN, October 16.
Yeferda, Afternoon passed through this Town on their
Way to Cambridge, the honorable Benjamin Franklin,

NEWPORT, October 16.
Las Monday the men.of war, after firing on Brifol
and Papaquafb, went into the jerry way between Ports
mouth and Bristol, and fired near zoo foot at the boufes
and people on each fide; 3,0! flruck the boilfeof Capt.
Earl near the ferry, which is all the damage done there
that we hear of; 60 foot, we hear, were fired at the
windmill, without hitting it. From tbence jome of the
Jhips, tenders, and trdnfports, went and farrounded
Gould TJland and took a few Jbeep; others went to
Hope-IJland and got 1 or gyoung cattle ; thence they
proceeded to Dutch-IJland, in Narraganfet-Bay, where
were upwards oj 100 rams, part of which feme people
from Narraganfet took off, while the Tefels lay there ;
the remainder, about 60, the enemy took away. On
the whole this fleet, by cruifng and firing about our
bats, and harbours, for near a fortnight, have got
about 4.0 beadof cattle great and small, andi^o foeep,
including the cattle bought of tie Brentons, and 60
rams; the 150 f seep mentioned in many papers of las
Monday being a mijiake ; for we are well informed
they got but 5 Jbeep from Brenton's neck.
The fame day the Glasgow fired a number of cannon
upon the town of famejhwn, without doing any da
mage, except beating one sane out of a boufe.
The men of war, tenders, &c. came down the bay
and anchored in this harbour, las Thursday.
Within 14. days paji the men of war have taken out
and cut ass ay, the mafis, bowftrits, &c. oj a number
of Jmall Jloops and ferry boats.
Last Friday in the afternoon abarge, with a num
ber of bands Jrom one of the Jbips in this harbour,
landed at the N. W. part of this town, took a boat
which lay baled up on the fore, and was carrying her
off, when the owner got his musket, randown to the
Jbore, and fired upon the barge, but did no execution ,
upon which the Glasgow, and one of the tenders, fired
feveralfoot at the owner of said boat, but miffedbim.

A letter from a gentleman at BRISTOL.
Bristol, O&. 12, 1775.
“ Dear Sir,
HAVING observed in the last Newport Mercury,
an imperfect account relative to the conduct of
his Majesty's (hips, under the command of Capt.
Wallace at Briltol, last Saturday night, I embrace
this opportunity to give you a true and particular
detail of facts, that took place, from their anchoring
in the harbour till they left the town.---On Saturday
the 7th instant, P. M. appeared, in fight of this
harbour, a very foi midable fleet, confiding of 16
fail, viz. three men of war, one bomb ketch, and
other armed vessels, all which, excepting the Glasgow
(who ran ashore at Paquafti point) drew up in a line
of battle, from one end of the town to the other:
soon after they had moored, a barge came from the
Rose, to the head of a wharf, with the Lieutenant,
who alking if there were any gentlemen on the wharf?
William Bradford being present, answered yes ;
whereupon the Lieutenant informed him, Captain
Wallace had a demand to make on the town, and
defiied that two er three of the principal men, or
magistrates of the town, would go on board his (hip,
within an hour, and hear his proposals, otherwise
hostilities would be commenced against the town :
the above gentleman replied as a magistrate, that,
in his opinion, Capt. Wallace was under a greater
obligation to come ashore, and make his demands
known to the town, than for the m.igill ates to go on
board his (hip to hear them; and added, that if Capt.
Wallace would come to the head of the wharf the
next morning, he should be treated as a gentleman,
and the town would confider of his demands ; with
this answer the Lieutenant returned on board the Rose.
The inhabitants being made acquainted with the
above conversation, repaired to 'he wharf, and waited
with the utmost impatience, for a reply from Capt.
Wallace, till an hour had expired, when the whole
fleet began a mod heavy cannonading, and the bomb
veflel to bombard, and heave (hells and carcases into
the town; which continued, without intermission, an
hour and an halfi
main flreef to Mr. Nth's Pri.tig-Cffice, from
whence, without-the huTlett opposition or tefiftance
(^though there werefome hundred fpe&ators) they
delibuatHy carted off the types, and fur,dry other
panting implements, with two of the workmen, and
afei getting to tae water tide with their booty, gave
tmee huzzas, in which they were joined by a crowd
of negroes. A lew spirited gentlemen in Norfolk,
juftiy incenied at so flagrant a breach of good order
and tlte conllituuon, and highly relenting the conduct
of Lord Dunmore and the Navy Gentry, (who have
now commenced downright pirates and banditti')
ot deied the drum to neat to arms, but were joined by
few or rone; so that it appears Norfolk is at prelent
a vety infective place for the life or property of any
individual, and is consequently deferred daily, by
numbers of the inhabitants, with their effe&s.
We hear that Lord Dunmore is exceedingly offen
oed with the Vi rginia Ptinters, for presuming to fitinifh
the public with a faithful relation of occurrences, and
new. and then making a few Itri&ures upon his Lord
flip's own conduct, as well as that of feme of his
dehghtJul tyociates, Inch as Dicky Squire and little
'-white beaded Montague. Some of their actions have
certainly deserved the severe ftreprehenfion, to fay no
worse ; for which the Printers appeal to the whole
world, even Fredy North himlelf, and the immaculate
John Bute.------It feewis his Lordship has it much at
heart to destroy every channel of public intelligence
that is inimical to his designs upon the liberties of this
country, alledging that they have poiJoned the minds of
the people: or, in other words, laid open to them,
the tyrannical designs of a weak, and wicked Ministry,
which have been supported, in character, by ,110 ft of
theirfavi/h dependents. It is to be hoped, however,,
that neither his Lordship, nor any other person (how
ever dignified) will have it in his Power to succeed in
so diabolical a fcbeme, only fit to be accomplished
among Turks, and never could have been devised but
by a person of the most unfriendly principles to the
liberties of mankind.
th the mean time Col. Potter, in the hotteftof the
fire, went upon the head of the wharf, hailed the
Rote, went on board and requeued a cessation of
hostilities, 'till the inhabitants might choole a com
'mittee to go on board and treat with Capt. Wallace ;,
Iwhich requelt was complied with ; and fix hours were
l allowed for the above purpole. Col. Potter returned
I and made a report to the committee of infpe&ion,
who choe a fele& committee to hear Capt. Wallace's
demands, which, after they had gone on board, Capt.
Wallace informed them were a Supply of 200 sheep
and 30 fat cattle. This demand, the committee
replied, it was impossible to comply with; for the
country people had come in and drove off their flock,
saving a few sheep and tome milch cows.
After some hours had expired, during the negoci
ation, without coming to any agreement, Captain
Wallace told them, I have this one proposal to make,
" If you will promise to supply me with 4.0 fh<ep, at
or before 12 o'clock,,! will allure you that another
gun Ihall not be difchaiged." The committee feeing
themselves reduced to the diflreflmg alternative, either
to supply their molt inveterate enemy with provisions,
' or devote to the flames the town, with all the goods,
besides near 100 lick persons, who could not be
removed without the utnioft hazard of their lives; I
fay, feeing themselves reduced to this dreadful
dilemma, of two evils relu&antly chose the' least,
by agreeing to supply them with 4.0 Iheep at the time
appointed, which was punctually performed.
J lie Rev. Mi. John Burt having been confined to
his boule by the camp dhiemper, when the cannona
ding began left his habitation, to leek some plsce of
fafety, and the next day was found dead in a neigh
bouring field. It is conjectured that being overcome
with fear and fatigue he fell down and was unable to
raise himfelf up, and so expired; a child allo of
Capt. Timothy Ingraham, having been removed in
the rain, died the next day.
What equally challenges our administration, and
gratitude to God is, that no more lives were lolt, or
persons hurt, by such an incessant and hot fire; the
Greets being full of men, women and childien, the
whole time ; the Ihricks of the women, the cries of
the children, and groans of the sick, wpuld have
extorted a tear from even the eye of a Nero.—But I 1
forbear—words can't describe the dreadful feene.:
After the flops had received their supply, and dole 5
about 90 cheeses, and some poultry, from Papaqualh,:
they weighed anchor, and moored at Papaquafh
point; the next day (being Tuesday) they went into;
Bristol ferry way and fired a number of fliot at the
houses and people on each thore, where three of them
got a ground ; but the tide riling towards evening,
they left us, and have not molested us since.
A great number of dwelling houles, &c. were|
(hot through ; but fuffered very little damage, A
cannon ball entered a distill-house, then palled ;
through three hogsheads and barrels of rum, and 1
fpilt their contents."
The Rev. Mr. Burt was born in Boston, and.
having received a liberal education at Harvard-Col
lege, he was ordained pallor of the Congregational
church in Bristol, where he laboured in the work of
the ministry 34 years. He was a gentleman of a re
fpe&able character.
We are afiired that several Gentlemen in Ultter
County, have lately received Letters (one of which is
from an Officer of Note, dated the 4th inst.) from
dur Camp near St. John's, all which Letters agree
that Capt. Prefcot, the Commanding Officer at St.
John's, had sent out a Flag to'General Montgomery,
offering to surrender the Fort; on beingallowed to
march out wish the Honours of War, and Artillery ;
but that the General had returned for Answer, that
the Possession of the Ground was not his principal
Obje&, and that he could not capitulate on any
Terms but their surrendering as Prisoners of War.
By Accounts dated the fourth of O&ober, we are
informed, that General Montgomery was carrying
on his Approaches towards Fort St, John's with the
utmost Vigour; and that the Officers and Mera bear
the Severities of that Climate with great Firmneis
and Fortitude.
We hear that Major Chafles Preston, of his Ma
jesty's 26th, or Cameronian Regiment, commands
in the Post of St. John's ; Brigadier General Richard
Prescott, Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Engl th
Fufileers, commands in Montreal ; and his Excel
lency Governor Carleton, in the City and Citadel of
Quebec.
Last Thursday Week was married at Newark, in

On Monday last the Assembly of this province
met for the firft time since their election, when JOHN
MORTON, Esq; was cholen Speaker.
By accounts from Canada we learn, that on the
twenty-fifth of September last, Col. Eathen Alien,
prompted by ambition, had imprudently without
orders crossed over from Longale with thirty of his
own men and fifty Canadians, in order to get pof
felfion of Montreal. Col. Prefcot, hearing of his
coming, engaged a number of people from the sub
urbs, at Haifa Joe per man, to join a party of re
gulars from the garrison, and to go out against him.
They met about two miles from the town, when a
smart engagement ensued, which lalted upwards of
two hours. The enemy had two field pieces. After
a long engagement, our party were obliged to retire.
Col. Alien and two or three of his men were taken
prisoners, and about as many were wounded, the
rest returned to their friends. By the belt accounts
we learn, that a considerable number of the enemy
were killed and wounded.
