the Consul of America t 8,000 double piastres, in
order- to indemnify him for the loss of nine Algerines
taken in au American vessel. The Consul pretended
that the crew of the vessel had thrown the men over-
tward, as they were on the point of being boarded by
One of his criiizers

" The C."'onSul of Sweden immediately agreed to
the .present.
" On the 23d, the three Consuls of Denmark, '
Holland, and America were summoned to the Pa-
lace. - The Consul 'of Holland said, he expected in-
struElions from. his Government,' and that he could
4ot, till he received those instruttions, make any
present. On this the Dey caused it to be intimated
to him, that unless he instantly, on the arrival of his
Messenger, t..ceiveci his present, he should put his
children into irons 'and send them to labour. The
.cntisul of America had not yet received official
-tidings of the fact of whikb the Dey had complained,

ZATURD4Y, MAY 14, 180 C.

ACCOUNT 3 reached the Admiralty this morning,
which state the capture of Deseada, an Island near
Guadaloupe, by Admiral COCHItANC4 C11.314er1.

Some of our Contemporaries have expressed
doubts with regard to the accuracy of the state-
ment we laid'ibefore' our Readers t 3 few days ago,'
respecting the acknowledgment of FganjtbrAtsp by
tvottAPARTE. We are enabled, however, to state,
upon undoubted authority, tlitt our account was per-
feCtly correct A Treaty stag bgen eanclpdcd be-
tween Feantismsan and ntIONAPARTE; by which
the latter acknowledgc3 the further King of Spain

knovv, the particulars, of it, except that 14'

was to be sent to France ; he was, however, at
Aranjuez as late as the 17th in prison, and heavily-
fettered. The late Queen of Spain is, we under-
stand, in a state bordering upon -insanity : the loss
of a throne is not her only rnisfortnhe.

THIS. morning a. Gottenbursh Mail arrived:
.It
appears that the Swedes haVe met with some
slight checks Norway. We also learn that the.
Invasion of the ISland of Gothland was a, mere. pre.
&tory Attack of the I:tussians, .who re-embarked
as soon as they obtained some booty,. There were
no French Troops with them ; they seem to hale
an invincible aversion to Islands—they will not even
trust themselves in Zealand.

Last night we received foreign, Papers down
to the loth instant, from which we have extraeted
the most matecial parts of their contents. The
articlecfrom the Moniteur, dated May 4th, 'are par-
ticularly interesting, relative to Spain,• and tend to
throw more light on the, melancholy state of that
Country. By. the Letter Of the lite KING of
SPAIN, it is evident that he was induced to
resign his Crowit by the fear of death; and
our Readers may remember that the present KING
of SPAIN, in an account of the progress of the
Revolution, published' by himielf, stated, that he
had " judged it necessary, for the welfare of the
KingdoM, to give the Duke of INFAtitnn.o a POwer
of Attorney in his own, (the King's) hand-writifig,
to assume the command of the Troops in New Cas-
tile, in case of ‘he decease of his Royal Father."--
This is an ominous hint of what the late King had
too much reason to apprehend, as he had also,
cording to his own letter, long been sensible of his
Son's eaget: desire to reign. It has been thought
surOsing that the French Papers should have been
permitted to publish these accounts, as BUONAPARTE,
seems inclined to favour the new Monarch of Spain;
but as he is now the arbiter of the fate of that
Country, and can have no attachment to either
party, it iS his business to bring.disgrace upon
that he may dispose of the Kingdom as he pleases; and
by showing that there is inaheeility on one side, and
Villainyon the other, he opens. the way for some mi,
nion of his own, The feelings of the people in
Spain seem to be patriotic and resolkite, but, what
Can they finally do against the subtlety of the French
Rnler, and the powerful army which he,, has artfully
contrived to get into the Kingdom, and is daily rein
forcing ?

THE CIiANCELLOA of the IikCiIEQUER yesterday
brought forard his Pian for enabling the Holders
of Three per Cent. Stock to convert it' into Annui-
ties, upon-an estimated scale of purchase. For the
details of this measure we must refer our Readers to
the very able Speech of the 'Citsticat.t.ott of the
ExceEe.una. The only ground of objeaion to this I
Plan which the Opposition have yet been able to dis-
cover-is, that it will be injurious to posterity, by in-
diicing persons possessed of property, to sacri-
fice the ftiture expe6tations of their families, to
their own immediate comforts, 'by purchasing
Annuities ,for their ' own lives. This is an oh,
lea ion which we do not thi4 will be pressed
very seriously, because those who wish to sink
their money in Annuities have always bad ample
means of doing so. The (+Tea of this measure,
therefore, will not be_ to augment the number of
Aenuitants, but to induce them to take the Security
of Goverunient rather than that of individuals: The
sentiments of the Opposition, with regard to the
degree of attention which ought to be paid to the
Interests of Posterity, .4pear to bare recently
undergone a total change ! We remember when
Mr. PITT proposed to raise as large a portion of
the Supplies within the year as possible, the Op-
,
position in general preferred the system of Loans, and
contended vehemently that posterity shoilld bear a
share of the burthens as well as the present genera-
tion : but now their language is 'completely alter-.
ed, and
,they are unwilling to suffer a, man to
lay out the fruits of his own .industiy, to were,
to himself the comforts of life in his old age,
lest he should thereby injure the interests' of
posterity. This extrsordinaryw change of scuti_!!.
Ment and pf language we can only attribute to the,
perverse disapProbation of the, principles and con-
duet- of. the. Gentlemen in Opposition; which the
present generation has upon all occasions maul
fasted : like unsuccessful Authors, therefore, they
Are determined to make their appeal to posterity;
and, we think, there is much good sense in this ap-
peal, fer if they wish or expetit that their condud
khould meet with approbation, they are right in re-
ferring it to the judgment 'of those who cannot
be witnesses of its absurdity.
