EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ALGIERS, DATED DEC. 10.
44 This place is now 10a considerable bustle,
in consequence of the fitting out •of a flotilla, which it is re-
ported is destined for the Mona, to replace such of the Alge-
rine vessels as have been damaged or destroyed by the Greeks
as well as to form an additional force in that quarter. The
squadron consists of six vessels of war, of various
sizes, four of
which are nearly completed, and the remainder in a state of
considerable forwardness. A frigate and a gun-brig are like-
wise taking in their compliment of men, preparatory to pro-
ceeding on the same destination. The recent losses sustained
by the Algerine military squadron in the Morea has much
.exasperated this people; and, although it is not probably
known that the squadron above alluded to is fitted out for the
purpose of acting against the Greeks, yet it is strongly believed
here that such is the fact.
in all probability, ere long, a declaration of war will be
issued against Spain by the Dey of this Regency ; as, since
the departure of the Spanish Consul, it has been generally
circulated here that it is lawful to capture any vessels be-
lengino' to or sailing under the flag of Spain, the depar-
ture of the Consul being regarded as tantamount to a decla-
ration of war. This has occasioned many to form an idea
that the flotilla now fitting out here is destined to act
against the Spanish Government in the Mediterranean, in
• which parts it will cruise when properly equipPed. The
merchants here, who are accustomed to trade with Spain in
Spanish bottoms, are consequently much alarmed, and it is ,said
that the Spanish Admiral at Majorca has directed several vessels
of war to cruise about for the protection of the merchant'ves-
sels of that nation, and the merchants are cautioned against
sending any vessels without convoy until the final intentions
of this Government are clearly made known. There cart be
little doubt but that long before this time the Government of
this place would have commenced its buccaneering system,
'had it not been delayed by a want of pecuniary-means, milting
-from the severe losses they have sustained in • Greece "Lind
groin the delay of the Turkish Government in forwarding the
sum agreed upon for the hire of their vessels now employed in
the Morea. The absence of this quota-of their navy has also
scombined to ep them from asaing Sain, as It would find their force e too weak, whiles divliided,p to cope withcy that of
their adversary.
" This city is uncommonly healthy at this time; and 'the
plague has entirely disappeared ; the neighbourhood aso which
some months ago was very dreadfully infested, has not exhi
kited any cases of disease for a considerable time."
