•* We have the pleasure to fay, we do
not find that the Algerines have captured
a Angle American, numbers having
arrived here, at Oporto, Cadiz, Bilbo a-;
&c. and it is with infinite pleasure we
acquaint you, that the truce in qu.eftion
was more the result of an unexpected
event, than any studied plan of this
cabinet, who so fu from approving of the
coniequences, have taken measures to
protect yoaf trade, and have actually
dispatched a frigate to their squadron
in the bay of Gibraltar with others to
examine at sea, every prize, and all
that shall be found bound to the ports of
this kingdom, are to be set free, and the
Algerines not to molest any of them in
future at sea ; and this government has
appointed a convoy to protect the 15 A
roerican Ihips now here, to a certain
latitude, whence they will proceed home,
free from the Algerines. So that the
apprehensions we were under, in the
fir ft instance, are now nearly removed,
as there is little or no rifle to any of your
vefftls coming to this port, on which
we heartily congratulate you.”
A letter from John Bulkely and Son,
dated 2d Nov. 1793, says—“ Inhere is

Toulon, after proceeding for Marseilles,

that city, and fearing equally from the

determination of trusting to the clemency
of Lord Hood, and actually got on board

TUBE, I love thee as my life ;
By thee 1 mean to choofc a wife :
Tube, thy colour let me find.
In her.ficin, and in her mind.
Let her have a shape as fine ;
Let her breath be sweet as thine :
Let her when her lips I kiss.
Burn like thee to. give me blits 5
Let her in feme frnoke of other,
XII my failings kindly smother.
Often when my thoughts are low,
Send them where they ought to go.
When to fludy I incline,
Let her aid be such as thine :
Such as thine her charming pow’r.
In the vacant social hour.
Let her live to give delight
Ever warm and ever bright I
Let her deeds whene’er she dies,
Mount as incense to the ficies.
