DEAL, AUG. 3.

ARRIVED and sailed for the River, the Elizabeth,
-, from Grenada; and SUrpriZt, PEAILSON, from
Lisbon.

The following interesting intelligence has been
received from Gibraltar, in a Letter dated June 28.
Cur Readers will have the goodness to recolleft an
anecdote from Shaw's History of Barbary. When
the British Consul waited on the Dey to remon-
strate with him on the seizure of some English
merchant vessels, the African Tyrant, seated on a
silken sofa, and smoaking a segar, very coolly re-
plied, " My friend, my people are great robbers,
and I am .their Chief."
" The EMPEROR, of Moßocco has obliged Mr.
SIMPSON, the American Consul, to quit Tangiers;
and has declared war •against the Americans, who
are also likely to be attacked by all the Barbary
States.

" The cause of the rupture between the EM-
PEROR of Moßocco and the United States, arises
from the American Commodore here having re-
fused the EMPEROR permission to send any provi-
sions or supplies to Tripoly, which place has for
some time been blockaded by the American _squa-
dron ; they being at war with that Power.

An American frigate, commanded by Capt.
MAC NIEL, a short time ago fell in-with three Cor-
sairs belonging to Tunis, in Chace of a Venetian
vessel, near Sicily ; and Capt. MAcNtL, from the
similarity of their coldurs,j,'inistaking them for
Tripolitan vessels, immediately attacked them ;
and, after a most bkody-aetion;in which he lost a
number of Officers anti
.men he. sunk two of theenemy,
eneMy, the third making -ar escape much shat-
tered. This-, will inevitably occasion a rupture
between the DEY of TUNIS and the Americans..
n Sir JAMES SAIJMAREZ, in the Caesar, arrived
here from Minorca, on the zsth inst. with the
PoMoNE frigate, and some transports, with Ge-
nerals CLFPHANE and MONCR EF, and having on
board the greater part of the troops of the garri-
son of Minorca, which we have now entirely eva-
cuated. They all proceed to England the first fair
wind, General Wrt.LoT (the same who made his
escape from Cayenne, in company with Prcnr.
f.;ttu) is also here with his regiment of Cliasseurs
on board of a transport in the bay, in his way to
England. _ _

The Ophthalmia is !till exceedingly common
in the garrison ; and it. is now positively known to
he highly infeaious, a number of the recruits
from England having caught it since their arrival,
from having joined those Regiments where it was
prevalent. One regiment has nearly two hundred
men in the hospital with the complaint."

From the circumstance of Mr. LtsToN's having
Lf!en appointed, in the Gazette of last night, His
Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Batavian Republic, we conclude
that the latter has notied in form to our Court the
person it proposes to ;end thither. Lord C. STVART
goes as Secretary 6f the Embassy. It is probable
the other Diplomatic vacancies will soon be tilled up.
A very erroneous account having been. published
in one of the Morning Papers (no doubt to answer
some particular purpose) and copied into many of the
other Papers, that the(our first perms who polled at
the Erentford ElediOn in right
,of the Isleworth
Mill, voted for Mr. MfoicwARING:; we have au_
thority to contradid such reports, ,no person what
ever having voted for Mr. MAIN,wARING in right
of the Mill, he having given express diredions to
all his Clerks not to admit such Votes.
