SPAIN. CADIZ, MAY 30.
Official accounts were yesterday received
„of the failing on the io'h inst. of thirteen
Algerine vellels, destined to cruize against
the Spanish ships, which nation Meffeurs
Arabs appear to be not well pleased with,
owing to non-compliance with the cnftom
ary tribute. Our accounts state that they
have landed between Cartbagena and Ali
cant, and plundered the scattered houses,
with a view of obtaining such provisions as
the hurry of their departure prevented them
from procuring ; it is thus Muffulmen have
declared war and commenced hoflilitics.

From the New-Ham,fhire Gazette.
Remarks on & proceedings of the Hcufe" of
^'pffcufufrjes in their date eleftion of a
Senator, tofit the vacancy. occaJioned by Mr.
, Sheafe'; refgnatipi! oj bisJeat in the Sen
ate of the Uniced States.
AS the election is made, by which Mr. Plumer
may have a legal claim to a feat in the Sprue of
the United Scares, it would be unavailing to.re
commend a review of their proceedings to the
confederation of the Electors; Ibis thereforeXo be
regretted that the spirit of P^rty, flinu^aped by
tiie private views of a few individuals, fculd have
produced an effect ' that has so far outraged the
general opinion in the extensive county where the
Senator resides, that those who took a leading part
in the>eleftion, are unwilling to claim live merit
which is their dne^ it is, neyerthelefs, proper that
the public should be informed to whose influence
and exertions they are indebted for the honor of
this appointment.
Politicians sometimes praftif? a fort of finefre,
without doing eflential injury to the public or a
ny individual, but such extraordinary intrigues
and glaring deviations from truths as were prac
trfd in this election, in order to prevent a fair
expression of the public mind, if I am rightly in-
IwnfW, demands public censure.
Men may indulge' themselves in a mod career
for the attainment of power, andgp all lengths if
they please, though, by departing from the sober
principles of moderation and justice, the public
harmony is destroyed, and they meet their oWn
defeat. But that vulgar and detectable practice
of giving out falfe reports to mislead and betray
the unwary, is an indelible stain to reputation, and
admits of no apology.—Having been a candidate
for this office without my knowledge, a report
was put into circulation, denying my eligibility,
on the ground of non-retidence With whom the
report originated I do not know—but, according
to the reported r embers present at the time, itl
must have received ail the countenance that thel
zeal of the member from Exeter, in fubfervance'
to the vieWe of the Treasurer, could give it ; as
he %vas probably the only member in the House,
who was fully authorifed by his own knowledge
of lads, to contradift .the falfe af&rtion that {
" was not a citizen of the State, and could not
Ihold the office if elefted."—The well-timed cir
, eolation of this report is given as a principal rea
son why feme of the Representatives gave their 1
votes, (contrary to their original intention) in fa
vor of Mr. Plumer ; so far then as this report had
effect, tiie votes were obtained by fraud and falfe-;
hood, and ought not to be valid.
It is well known to my friends, that I am farl
from being felicitous for any public employment 1
myfelf, and that I had no knowledge of these
tranfdttions, until they were past, nor should I
nbw trouble the public with animadversions upon 1
those ungracious proceedings, were it poflible to;
imagine that the public good has-been at all con
sulted, or that it can be promoted by the result.
In this election, I consider the State Treasurer,;
by h:s influence with a few intriguing members of
the House, to have taken a principal part, and had
they, with all their arts, elefte^a gentleman in
whose integrity and honor they themselves would
declare they have confidence, then it .might be be
lieved that the spirit of party, private interest and
prejudice had not betrayed them into a disregard
of the honor and interest of the State and Nation
=and then should I been silent on the fabjeft—
but, if the general colouring which they have here
tofore given to the character of their Man be true,
then have they abused the public troll and confi
dence reposed in them, by placing him in so ex
alted a fiation—if, indeed, it be untrue, this friend
ly exertion in favor of his election, may be con
sidered as an expiatory facrifice to a much injured
reputation.
Alter the name of Mr. Parker was withdrawn,
the votes of the House Were divided between two
candidates, and it being known that the influence
of the Treasurer was exerted against one of them,
it is but fair to allow him the credit of exerting
the fame extensive influence in favor of the other.
—Three of the Representatives, to whose exertions
it is said the fuccefstul candidate is principally in
debted, were from Exeter, North Hampton and
Wakefield, and are, according to the general o.
pinion, in habits of the clofeitpolitical ' intimacy
with the Ireafurer ;—Two of 'them are said to
be connected with him in land (peculations, and
°?°. °' ,"" r since the election, has given the 0-
pinion of the freafiuer, as a reason why he atted
the part he did in favor of Mr. Plumer.
Nothing is meant to be here infatuated, which
is not believed on good ground, to be Briefly
true; and as every man ought to be accountable
for his own conduct, it cannot be improper that
it should be generally known, to whose intrigues
it is owing, that public opinion has been insulted
in this election,
