A',l:fEßiod•N PAPER .

Witt) die sad example of whit has infliacel
'n Spain, to excite apprehension—with the alarming
coincidence of-proceeding between the late Govern-
ment of that Monarchy, and our. own Administra-
tion, in their intercourse with France, to justify sus7
pieion, it is impossible that the people of the
United States should be longer. indifferent to the
glaring partiality: of their Rulers, or the alarming
tendency of their conduet, as it may lead:to a similar
and most fatal conclusion.—Whoever has read the
shameful, the base apology, in Mr. MADISON'S Pa,
per, the 'Washington Monitor of Saturday last, for
the invasion of Spain and the subversion of its Go::
vernment by the Emperor of lerance, must sees witli
whatcold-blooded indifference " a Citizen of France,"
can even sneer at the most outrageous and•cruel treat-
ment that ever has been prataised against. an inno-
cent, an unoffending, a friendly people, • Whose re:-
sources had been exhausted to adMinister to in-
satiable demands of an unrelenting despot.
This attempt to palliate and excuse the overthrow
of the Spanish Government, bears on the face of it
an attachment to France which 'should carry alarm
to 'the breast of every American who appreciates
the independence of his country, and'duly estimates
the blessings of free government—nor is it possible
that the patron of a Paper, in which such detestable
dnarine 14 promulgated, should ever obtain the suf-
frages of a people deservng to be'free.
The noble stand of the Spanish Nation against
their oppressors in Europe,_ and the detliratiun ot.
war, by the coionistiof Svain, against France, will
defeat all the- machinations of our,enemies, foreign
and domestic,' and preserve the United States free
and inkiendent. TOmprove the great occasion,
let our Rulers be selezied from men who are neither
the honorary' citizens, nor the bigotted partizans,
Of any foreign State.

The following statement of the rencontre between
Capt. SHEFFIELD, of the American schooner Mary
Ann, and an Algerine Frigate, of 44 guns, contaips
particulars which we have_ not before seen. it is
taken from the New York Mercantile Advel wiser

" On the a6th of 06tober last, within the Straits
of Gibraltar, saw a sail to the Northward. Oa her
bearing down she proved to be a frigate with Eng-
lish colours. After tiring three shots, which tell
near us, the schooner hove-to.----When alongside, -
they 'hauled down the English colours, and hoisted
the bloody flag. They sent on board their boat, and
took out the Captain and three men. After ttO,
hours detention, the boat returned with the Capt.
on board' the schooner, accompanied by nine Alga-.
tines, all armed, who steered dire& for Algiers.
Being in their possession upwards of 90 hours, they
held a consultation with tz!le Mate and
Cook ; when fearing they should never again see
the United. States, they chose rather to die than sub-
mit as slaves for life to Turkish tyranny. The vessel
at this time was within three miles of the land, and
in sight o :•the shipping in the harbour of Algiers.
Accordingly the Cook was stationed- at the. pump,
and the Mate at the cabin-door, when • the Captain
threw the grains over the quarter into the sea.
Four of .the Turks went to the side to see if he had
caught a fish. . The Captain then seized the prize--
master, and threw him overboard ; the mate at ate
same time seized the one next to him, and did di/1.--
like ; the cook then cam to their assistance, an
hey threw over the third. The remaining six at-
tacked them very furiously with handspikes. The
Captain clinched the second prize-maSter and threw
him into the sea, while the mate and cook killed
two. 0.1 the remainleg three, two who refused 10
submit ,were killed; one they preserved and carried
safely into Naples, where the Vessel fortunately w"--
rived after six days..
" During the contest, the Captain .and. Mate re-
ceived several desperate blows from the Turks ;
while they'were on board, they compelled.t he Car
taro and Mate to.go aloft and assist in navigatitl
the Vessel."
