of Algiers claims from Spain. It also brought orders to
Spanish Consul immediately to quit Algiers. The Dey, in
answer, declared that he would not change his resolution,, and
that he would insist, to the last moment, that Spain should pay
its debt, which, together with the compound interest, amounts
to 1,300,000 Spanish dollars. The Consul desired, in conse-
,.
quence,,leave to einbark with his suite, which was positively
refused him. The squadron having withdrawn for a time,
.t
ap-
peared again in the bay on the 6th. The Spanish Consul then
desired leave to gd on board' the Admiral's ship, in order to
haVe a conference with: the. Commander-in-chief)- which was
granted him; and it waa:the Captain of the Fort himself who
was•charged with the bffice of taking him on board in an Al-
gerine boat. Two boats sent from the Admiral's ship having
approached that in which the Consul was, he leaped into one
of them before his conductor had time to hinder it : when he
had thus escaped, the squadron sailed and withdrew. This
sudden departure of the Consul caused great sensation here. A
few days after this, a Spanish ffigate arrived, bringing to the
Consul of the Netherlands an invitation to take under his pro-
tecLion the Spaniards belonging to the suite of the Consul, and
to claim the effects of the Consulate : but the Dey having op-
posed this, the English Consul took the Consulate of Spain
under his protection.
The Belgic Admiral has signified to the Consul of his na-
tion, that it was only by the desire of the Spanish Admiral that
he had joined with his fleet the squadron of the latter, but that
he had no orders to take him (the Consul) on board.
" The Dey of Algiers has long contemplated a war with
Spain, but the present moment is not favourable, and great
part of his naval force being employed against the Greeks, there
are only three or four corsairs in this port.
" The plague commits dreadful havock here. From 50 to
60 persons die daily : hitherto the contagion is confined to the
city, and has not yet reached the neighbouring towns.
Our fortifications, which suffered greatly from the born-
bardment of the English and Dutch fleets, are entirely re-
paired." • :
