Tha Harnhurgh papers contain an article front an un-
%petal tioarter--L.Mosocco. A decree of his Highness,
the Emperor, commences with a pretence of its being is-
sued, in consepenee of information, which had reached
his Imperial ears, that sonte of his subjects, seders in Euro-
pain countries, hail denominated themselves his ambassa-
dors, or relatives, and Moreover' had been guilty of vari-
ous exressex! It, therethre, forbids his Mahometan sub-
jects on pain of Death from leaving his territories, with-
out express permission from himself.; and even the Jews
may not go, unless they give security, that they will
carry on in Europe a larrlid trade ! Such is his High-
ness's anxiety for the purity of every one belonging to
him, be they where they may ! Who can imagine, after
this, thiit he would encourage piracy ? Some intelligence
tidlows the decree to prevent every snspicion of this sort !
A Tunisian vessel having seized a Neapolitan ship, the
prize has been released by his orders, the Captain of the
piratical vessel imprisoned for fourteen days, and notice
has been given, that, whoever shall in future practice
piracy, in the Emperor's ports. shad soar Death. We
did not before know, that the three ports of Tunis, Tri-
poli, and Algiers, are all included in his dominions ; and,
although he now claims them, it is probable, that the
IJeys acknowledge his Sovereignty only pro lute sire,
intending this decree to be the answer of the whole fra-
ternity to Lord Exmouth. It will be observed, that no-
thing is said of remonstrtmees, or claims, from the Nea-
politan Court ; his Morocco Majesty acts upon his own
spontaneous ahhorence of piracy, as if lie hail now, for
the first time, heard of the practice ! And this he thinks
K ill send back the British squadron. We always knew,
that he would promise any thing, as soon as it Phoula
approach him, but did not expect so much stratagem titr
anticipating it. His Jewish subjects in Europe may, it
seems, send him any communications, which shall be (4
his good. Have they obtained the honour, in consequence
of their furnishing hint with this piece of cminterkit
morality, and telling him what to say, when he shall be
brought before the police of Europe ?
In an article front Morocco we find the following re-
markable statement .

Rear Admiral Sir G. Cockburn has been employed
precisely one year in,conveving• Buonaparte to St. lie
iena, and permanently establishing a system of regula-
tions for his safe custody there during the term of his
funre life—it was on Thursday, August 3, last year,
that Sir George sailed from St. Helen's in the North-
umberland. Sir P. Malcolm arrived at St.. Hekna, with
the Newcastle and Orontes, on the 17th of June, and
succeeded Sir George in the command of the squadron,
employesl at St. Helena, Ascension, the Cape of Good
Hope, and the Mauritius. Sir G•orge sailed from St.
Helena on the 19th ult. with the Northumberland arid
Ibteephaitts; the latter came in on NVednesday. The
%.:phyr and learns were speedily to leave the station.—
When the Northumberland left St. Helena Ihionaparte
was in good health. He had lately been seldom visited
by our Officers. This state etiquette which is kept up at
his residence (the observance of which must precede all
interviews) not only prevents obtrusive visitors, but shuts
out all who have no taste for such burdensome forms.
Having, it would appear, no further hope of etc:ging
any alterations in his present condition, he is from the
necessity of the case habituating himself to confirm to
the life of a state prisoner. Mr. Warden, the Surgeon
of the Narthumberland; took a parting leave of him, when
he took the hackles front his knees and presented them to
him.
