on the 17th instant, anti cmtie up with them on
the morning of the 20th, drawn up in good older,
to the number of 2,000, in a strong position, with
their front defended by a ravine. Captain Davies
had only 600 Silledar horse with him, having se-
lected only those glen on whom he thought he
could rely. It being the first time Captain Davies
had been in action with the reformed cavalry,
having had them .under his command only for a
few months, he immediately determined to allow
them no time to deliberate; but after addressing
them a few words of encouragement, and direct-
ing them to throw away their matchlocks, and
draw their swords, he gave the order " to'
chat ge." The order was immediately obeyed in
the most gallant manner, and every man proved
himself worthy of the confidence placed in hint by
their gallant leader. The enemy, unable to re-
sist this shock, though so greatly superior in
numbers, immediately gave way, and were fol-
lowed for several miles, leaving upwards of 200
killed and wont led.

Lite loss of Captain Davies's party was seven
killed, and about 30 or 40 wounded. Among the
latter, we are sorry to say, were Capt. Davies and
Cent. Pedlar, both wounded in several places, the
latter severely, but both wet e doing well when
the last accounts came away.
We cannot here resist the pleasure of mention-
ing a trait of humanity, which we believe is very
rarely to be found among the native troops of
this country, nor, perhaps, of any of the more
civilized countries in Europe.
Captain Pedlar, having fainted from loss of
blood, found himself, on recovering on the field,
with only one native trooper near him. This
man had bound rap his won oils, and was support-
ing. Be. appeared to him to be a stranger, and,
on inquiry, Captain Pedlar found hint to be one
of the enera►y. Ciptain Pedlar has since taken
him into his service, anti we hope he will prove
as faithful as he has proved humane.

BARBARY PIRA fl 5.

BRRMEN, (ker. 20.—The following letter of his
Extelkoey the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, wi,:ch has been received by the Editors of
the Bremen Gazette, through an official Channel,
furnishes a new proof of what the Europeans,
particularly the (3ermans., hare to expect from
those barbarians, who only wait for the moment
when their marine, which is now recovering,shall
'allow them to recommence their old cruelties,
which are become a second nature to then►, and
probably in a more systematic manner than before.
The letter is us follows :

" It is known from the accounts which the King, my mas-
ter, has received hum his Consul and Charge., d'Affaires at
'l':►ngiers, that the fjovernment or Morocco demanded (on
the 10th August) the usual passports, for a frigate, La Men-
sor:►, 34 guns and 50 men, Captain Arrach Alalorrantan Bas-
gas!: ; zeal a bri, antine, El Mogatlor, 18. guns and 30 men,
Captain Arrach Ibrahim Lubaces, which were to tau from
Larrache to Algiers, to be at the disposal of that Regency.
" To this piece of intelligence, the result °fa mission with
which an Algerine Envoy appeared at Morocco a short time
before, is to l,r added, the circumstance that the Moor who
is charged to deliver up these ships certain Dextorhe, who
formetly sailed :is a merchant at Lisbon), has said that a
vessel freighted at (Gibraltar would sail to 41Igiers, to convey
10,000 cat. of saltpetre, and 1,00(H:wt. of copper, for the
ISlogador I and that he himseif was commissioned to g o from
Algiers with a present from his Sultan to Tunis, and thence
with another*.o Constantinople.
" These accounts must naturally excite the suspicion that
some alliance, more etr 'cp. extensive; against the peace and
prosperity of the Earoprm, Poivers, is forming among the
N/ahometans; and his Majesty has therefore Cyllinianded we
to communicate the whnle,to on. &e. thatyon may intake your
Goeelliment acquainted with it, whose sound policy will see
from this how neceesary it is to 11,isii a strict watch upon the
proceedings of those States, an►l to eottitlet what will be
the,probahle consequence of itch 4,11:01c,'s among barbarians,
ho are irrecoixile,ible enemies to all civilized nations. and
are accustemed to consider piracy and tt,-achery as legitimate
sources of support and gain. •
