" This is to inform yon of what you have pro-.
bably already learnt, that the English have been
handsomely brushed at Darien t, ith the buss of
170 killed and wounded, and the balance of 300
were made prisoners, excepting 50, ulc
their escape, in two barges ; there were ten barges
altogether. The manner to which they tvere re-
ceived at New Orleans clad not exceed this. They
calculate their loss at New Orleans at 5000 men,
anti had only six days provisions; this they ac-
knowledge to be the fact. They are still on Cum-
berland Island, where they are ereeting.batteries
in all directions. The brig Priun ose is at anchor
about three miles from this."

The following Message \vas, on Alonday work,
transmitted by the President of the United States
to both Houses of Congress :
" To Me Senate and lim,ye of Rei»xventatives of the Udited
J'latra•
" Peace having happily taken place between
the United States and Great Britain, it is desir-
able to guard against accidents, which, during
the periods of war in Europe, might tend to in-
terrupt it ; and it is believed, in particular, that:
the navigation of Atneh lean- vessels exclusively by
American seamen, either natives, or J Itch as are
already naturalized, would not only conduce to ;
the attainment of that object, hut also to increase
the number of our seamen, and consequently' to
render our commerce and navigation independent
of the services of foreigners, tvlho might be re-.
called by their Governments, under cironnstances
the most inconvenient to the United States.
" I recommend the subject, therefore, to the
consideration of Congress ; and, in deciding upon
it, I am persuaded that they will sufficiently esti-
mate the policy of manifesting to the world a de-
sire, on all occasions, to' cultivate harmony, with
other nations, by any reasonable accommodations
which do not impair the- enjoyment of any of the
essential rights of a free and independent people.
The example on the port of. the American Cio-
Yerliment will merit, and be expected to receive,
a reciprocal attention front all the friendly Powers
of E'.l

[The Message was read and committed in each
House.]
EXTEDITION AGAINST ALGlERS.—Letters from
Wavhington, received yesterday, mentions that
the President would immediately propose to Con-
gress to declare war against Algiers ; which Con-
gress would agree to ; and that a formidable squa-
dron, under Commodore (then we expect Ad-
miral) Bainbridge, would sail against that Re-
gency, in a short time. Some accounts say, that
2000 land forces are to be embarked in the squa-
dron.—(lltat. Cent.)

MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARC!-!.

grom the continued mildness of the Spring, the
i.ottug Wheats have become unusually luxuriant
ia-their growrh. In most of the districts ivhere
large flocks of sheep are kept, they are generally
ftsediug down, and no doubt it will prove with
prOfitahle effect. The early sown Barleys which
were chilled by so long a succession of rains, have
recovered their colour within the last ten days,
and throughont Norfolk and Suffolk wear a pro-
nilsing appearance. The forward plants of Beans
and Pease are free-growing in Kent and Sussex,
but arc more foul with summer weeds than is
usually known in those Counties : but in the for-
' rater, their drill. husbandry will enable them soon
to clean them. Oat-sowing has been much re-
tarded on strong land by the wetness of the sea-
son, but on tender soils they appear to plant well.
Ray-Grass, Clover, and Winter Tares, pro-
mise every where abundant crops. The.general
tillage, however, is on the decline, which is too
visibly manitested throughout .most districts, by
the neglected state of the lands intended for fal-
low ; this unfortunately arises either from an in-
ability, or a want of spirit, in the tenantry, to
give, under the pressure of the times, that due
cultivation to the soil, by a liberal expenditure
thereon, without which it must infallibly eleterirr-
rate, to great national loss. The Grazing coun-
tries scarcely ever experienced so much feed at
so early a season. In the Vale of Aylesbury, and
most of the rich marshes on the bankS of the
Thames, more Beasts have been laid out already
than is generally known in the middle of May.
Thi!'llay markets are fully supplied, and with but
little variation in price. Lean Stock of most kinds
has fallen considerably, particularly Welch, and
Scotch cattle. Sthithfield_hasbeen largely sup-
plied through the month with prime beef, mutton,
and pig pork, at reduced prices of more than
one shillin4 a stone ; but veal and lamb are not
cheaper. The Wool market is dull, and in all
sorts somewhat lower than that of the last month.
