" Road of Totthn, Scpt . 26, 1802.

" CITIZEN ESINISTER,
"I have had the Honour to address to you the-restilf of my
oPeutions at Algiers. The, present Dispatch.eciritains those
4t Tunis.
‘, On the 16th of August I Get ,u•-rutab,
'With jhe Division under my orders. After experiencing
Calms and contrary winds, I entered at length the Road of
Tunis on the 27th of August.
" After having employed the day of the zgth in giiing the
• necessary orders to the Captains, I landed on the 3oth,
accompanied by four Captains and twenty-five Officers from
the ditferent "Ships. On my passage the Fort of Goulette
saluted me with a discharge of thirteen pieces of cannon.
Ofi my arrival at the Marine, t found the Commissary-Ge-
bera , the Chancellor, and the French Merchants establish-
" a'..Tunis, who accompanied me to the House of the Corn-
tlissariat.
" On the 31st, accompanied by the Commissary-General,
the Captains, my Officers, and the Punch Merchants, I
Proceeded in state to Barde (the residence of the Bev),
about a league from Tunis. Being introduced to the BEY
my Suite, I advanced towards him, and took him by
the hand, which he gave me very atfeclionately: Having
seated myself by his side, I said to him, " that the First
Consul had ordered me to anchor in the Road of 'Tunis,
that I might make known to him that the First Consul had
been informed that the Christian Slaves who were at the
Gagne were ill-treated ; that many of them had perish-
" Miserably under the blows they had received ; that
the Firt Consul wished I should Inform him, that be-
:ing at peace with the Neapolitans, and the other Powers of
tile Mediterranean, he desired that if the BEY continued
t° flake Christian . Slaves, he would ensure them sub-
stence, treat them as Prisoners of War,and no longer use them
411 that many Slaves had been taken by his Corsairs four years
6irice, in a descent on the Isle of Saint Pierre ; that these un-
'
4.Qrtunate Sardinians having been arrested in the house of the
4Di-it of the French Republic, the First Consul expeaed they
Would beset at liberty. As to any thing further, the It irstCon-
-3ul desired that the ancient commercial relations might be re-
tewed between Africa and the Coasts of France, and hoped
tr!lat the BEY would proteft our Commerce, and prohibit his
-orsairs from insulting the French Flag, and that of the
Italian Republic."
" lie answered, that he was much flattercit by the de-
sire of the First Consul to be on good terms with the
Regency, which was also his greatest desire ; and that the
desires of the First Consul being just and reasonable, he
f"td accede to them with all his heart. As to any thing
Lhrth
-cr, he would send an Envoy to France, to treat with

• He then served us with coffee, and took some with us
(Iv'li' • -
cit is a mark of the greatest distinction and politeness
that this Prince could confer.)
11 I afterwards went to the First Minister; who received
with great distindion ; and I received visits from the
Charge des Affaires of England, Holland,' Spain, Denmark,
‘eden, and the United States.
`` On the 3d September, the BEY sent on board my Ship
!Ile Of his Great Officers, who was charged with a consi-
aerable present for me of Oxen, Sheep, Fowls, &c.
" I saluted him with seven pieces of Cannon.
`` On the 4th, I received a similar present from the First
pa:`. On
teethe sth, the First Minister, according to invitation,
cl a visit on board : he was attended by a numerous
• After dinner I had the exercise of the great guns and
'llsquetry performed before them, with which they we::

rauei titii h etl. At then arrival .`.ad upoli ti it deprti:le,
they were saluted with fifteen pieces cf cannon. The First
Minister, on 'pitting the ship, left a sum of about 6000
livres, which I caused to be distributed among the Crews of
the different Ships.

" The 7th, I sent the First Minister a present of Stuffs,
Brocade's, &c. the Manufaaures of Lyons.

" On the loth the Commissary-General celebrated the
mination of the First Consul to the Consul Ship for life. The
different Ships of the Squadron fired each a salute of it
guns upon the occasion.

" The sith, the Commissary-General and I went to
Barde. When we were introduced to the BEY, I again de
manded the liberty of the twenty-two Individuals whose
Mothers were born in the Island of Corsica. He granted
me their liberty after some hesitation, but complained
at the same time, that several Slaves had effeaed their
escape by means of our Sailors. I offered to p 4 ransom for
all those Slaves who had escaped in that manner. It was
during this audience that he requested me to give the Am-
bassador he was going to send to congratulate the FirSt Con-
sul, on his being appointed Consul for life; a passage on
board my Ship. He also requested that I would acebmpany
him to Paris. I consented to his request, and we parted very.
good friends.

" On the xsth I took leave of the BLY; who loaded me
with marks of friendship and esteem.

" On the 19th the Ambassador came on board; and on
the loth I set sail for Tunis, where I anchored this day.—
There are no symptoms of the Plague at Tunis, and I have
the satisfacliou of stating that I did not lose one man.

LAUSANNE, SEPT. 25.—The Senate, and -the
Council of Execution, have,addressed the Helvetic
people in a Proclamation, of which the following are
the most remarkable passages
" •Citizens of 'Helvetia! Berne, surrounded by
bands of Insurgents assembred and commanded by
Bernese Officers, Berne, agitated within by inces_
sant conspiracies, Berne, leagued with the enemies
of the State, no longer offers security to the deli-
berations of the Magistrates. We were either to
wait till the Government should dissolve itself, and
the -Republic perish with it, or we were to make
choice of another town in another county, to ,pre-
serve there the sacred deptit, of the legitimate and
constitutional authority. •

" The Senate, -and the Council of Ex'ecution;
thought they owed it to the Nation, which, in
tranquil times, placed this deposit in their) ands,.
to the great mass of Citizens, who, by the mere

set.
timent pi their own cony 4..ti0 0, accept:'d
,constitution recommended by foreign benevaletice,
to adopt this latter part., Lausanne, and the Canton
de Yawl, are become the temporary seat of the
Helvetic Republic. • , •
Citizens of Helyetia ! Into blindriess-have'you
fallen ! War , had cer,sed to desolate your frontiers ;
opinion seemed to rally around a Constitution,
which was able to satisfy all the real wants, all
demands founded upon justice. The Government,
full of confidence in the love of the Swiss for
their independence, had ,consented to the retreat
the Foreign Troops ; and it was at this epoch, from
which a new xra .of n_ ease and felicity should
have commenced ; it was then when, in order to'be,
independent and tree, the Country required only re-
pose ; then were you seen to take up arms, to dis-
play the colours of the faCtions inimical to Peace,
and to precipitate yourselves blindly into the abyss,
dug beneath your feet !" .

The Firth which 'Mr. PITT has taken near Wal.

Cliffe Fair, ar Lewes, on Saturday was very nume-
rously attended, by buyers and others. The number
of sheep arid lambs exhibited, on a moderate computa-
thon; exceeded 30,000,. which met a very dull sale,
at reduced prices: Wethers fetched from 36i. to 425.
Ewes from 21S. to 335. and lambs from,l4s. to 255.
6th Tnose who sold early. obtained the best pikes,
;the drop having been from 6s. to los. per head, be-
v:Ten the commencement and close of the Fair, and
many were driven. from the-field unsold, for which
purchaSers Could not be Lund, even at those reduced
prices.

At Braintree Fair, in Essex,- on Saturday and
.Monday last, there was the hugest thew of Scotch,
Irish, and other cattle, that has been known there
for many years ; hut the high prices being kept up,
the Graiiers made ho purchases of any consequence.
A Letter reeeivA from Chingleput, by the Sea-
Horse, lately arrived, says, a Royal Tiger has made
his appearance Dear this place. On Friday the 30th
.of April, in the,eveiling, as Mr. and Mrs. Thom_
son were returning in a bandy from their evening
ride, the Tiger spiung from the jungle at Mr.
Thom' son's poligar dogs, which were running im-
mediately before the horse's head. He, however,
r missed his prey.; and agreeably to the nature of
.
that ferocious, but cowardly animal, instantly re-
tired.to the covert. The horse appeared in the ut-
most terror and consternation ; and it was with
dlffictilty that Mr. Thomson could get him home.
The Tiger was.one of the largest of the species.
A singular mode of thieving has been successfully
pradised about the environs of the metropolis, by iti-
nerant dealers in fruit, &c. The man or woman
knocks at thetloor, anddispatches the servant or child
with some apples or onions, which are to be sold re-
, markably cheap, and whilst the master or mistress
are receiving information of the price, .the Fruit
Merchant takes the opportunity of handing off
cloaks, umbrellas, or, in short, any. thing portable
that comes within reach. Numerous robberies of
this kind are committing daily, against which the
Public ought to be cautioned.
A few days since as one of the servants belonging
to Mr. STUART of East Ham, was driving a team of
horses, the beasts took fright near the London Hos-
pita! ; endeavouring to stop them, he goLentangled
in the traces, and fell down, whon.;the near wheel
went over his body, which crushed him so dread-
fully, that he was taken to the Hospital, where he
died in less than half an hour. The-Coroner's Jury
returned. a verdia of Accidental Death.
On Monday night was committed' One of the
greatest outrages upon Society,- by a gang of those
villains who every night infest •the iown, that' has
yet been heard of: as. Thomas. Pamplin, a servant
of Messrs. Gordon and :Knight, distillers, in Gos-
weil-street, was passing home, 'not far, from his
master's htlue, he was met by a man who knocked
him down, and about eleven more of the gang com-
ing to his assistance, they unmercifully beat .and
stabbed hiM in five different places. The poor fel.
low had merely sufficient strength left to crawl to
his lodgings, and from thence he was conveyed to
the Middlesex Hospital, where he now lies without
hope of recovery.

The skirts of London from Gray's-inn-lane to
Shoreditch, particularly- the neighbourhood of
Clerkenwell and. Old-street, are at present filled
with robbers of the most daring and atrocious cha-
raders. No night passes without some' new crime
being committed.

The
vigilance with which the Police of the City
of London have lately followed up the plan (as laid
down by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen) for the
immediate apprehending of every su,picious person
found lurking within their jurisdiCtion, has been
pr duaive of the happiest effeL't in driving these
desperadoes out of the City.

Monday, about noon, as a young.woman whose
name is King, was going down Fish-street-hillr she
was rim against by a bwcher carrying, a large fray
full or meat on his shoulder, the handle of the tray
struck her with such violence that' she fell on the
pavement, and' the back part oftierit head was dread-
fully cut ;on taking her up was discovered that 1!
the handle of the tray had dashed one of leer eyes.to
pieces: she was conveyed, in this most inexpie.ssi-
ble agony to an hospital.
.We very much lament
that the biutal I:crim.trator of the shocking 4't was
not secured.

On Tuesday the driver of the Ham:Be/smith
stage was fined Los. for standing thirty-five minutes
with his coach ()pp-04re JrN. Lit.'s hoOse in Picca-
