the Dutch Consul, the contents of which are as follows:
Netherlands Consular Offize in the Balearic Islands. Rear-Ad-
miral %Volterbeek, (.01mm:dant-General of the squadron of the
King of the Netherlands in the Mediterranean, informs me %Mitt
this day's date what I here transcribe.

On board his Netherland Majesty's ship !Tolland, in
I'ort Mahon, August 31, Ite4.
Sta—Bating arrived in this port I hasten to inform you, that by
an order of his Netherland Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs,
which reached me in the Ilay of Algiers on the 19th instant, I shall
be under the necessity of confining myself to the protection of our
own commerce and shipping. Although I take tin granted that
his Majesty's Government and that of is Catholic Majesty have
reciprocally communicated to each other the motives and grounds of
this occurrence, yet I deem it necessary to apprise you of the same,
and to request that you will communicate it confidentially to the
Governor of this Island, or to any other authotity that you may
think proper, that they may take their measures for the security of
the Spanish commerce and shipping, and guard against any anal-
petted •attaek from the Alger:nes, who, after the treaty concluded
with the English, will certainly fit out their whirs of war.
(Signed) WOLTEKRECE.
All which is made known to the public, that the yacht:tits may
take such precautions as they may deem necessary far their asturity.

made on this subject, we can come to no other conclusion,
than that Martin did intend to fight, but his hackers, find.
iug that it would be much more to their advantage to have
no tight, reached accordingly, and poor Jack was SO com-
pletely in their toils that he was r...luctantly compelled to

plot is unravelled. Jack may be le or he *ay not.—

pectable boot-maker, residing in Haydon-court, put an end
to her life yesterday by cutting her throat in a most arck-

spirits so much, that a nurse was constantly with het.
