REPO!'': ED DECLARATIoN (IF WAR BY ALGIERS

AGAINST SPAIN.

Letters sere receiv,d yesterday from Genoa, to
the 3.1 lily ; thty sta►e that two letters had been
rece•iv• d at that place by a Catalonian firm, one
dated 19th Jane, from Barcelona; the other 20th
June, from St. Filien : The first stated it was re-
ported there that the Algerines were going to de-
&3re war against Spain and Holland, and there-
fore it would he pruden► for the Spanish vessels to
be itp,in their Euard. The second says, " This

morning at nine o'clock. we received the sad news

that tie Algerines had declared ►ear against Spain.
We must request that you will acquaint all Mas-
ters of Spanish vessels of it, and likewise send
this i‘, ethaence forward to Ancona, Venice, &c."
It seems that the writer of this new is owner of
several vessels. The master of a small Catalo-
nian boat who is arrived at th,noa, left Cadaques
on Sunday, 27th Juru ; we learn by him the same
news, 'Tamely, that an express had arrived there
from Barcelona, to put the masters of vessels on
their guard. The master also states, that a
Spanish frigate, which had been sent to Algiers
with the usual presents, bad returned to Spain
without having been received there.--The letters
add, that the writers cannot guarantee the au-

throticity of the above facts, as the Spanish Con-
sul 11,1(1 received no official advice upon the

subject,

We have received Bahama Gazettes to the
middle of May, from which we make the follow-
lug interesting extracts
" Early in April, the Sally. Hopkins, arrived at Nassau,
with part of the crew of the Celesti Spanish Guineaman, that
was put on hoard by a privateer, supposed the Patriot, J. B.
Commander, which captured her off Abaco. The Guinea-
man, with 170 slaves on board, was afterwards wrecked near
the west end of Grand Bahama; the slaves were taken on
board the privateer, which proves to be the Hornet,
Captain Ornee, from Baltimore. A long low schooner
joined her, and they both sailed together; their ob-
ject is to get the slaves into Georgia. Several of the
crew left the privateer while at Grand Bahama. We
learn by a Passenger who was on board the Saucy Jack,
that was captured by a schooner, rrize to a Felucca, com-
manded by the notorious John Davis, alias Souti, that
the Saucy Jack was taken by the schooner, commanded
by Luis Dupuis, with a crew of Backs. The Pilot
had his wife with him; they in the most cruel manner in-
stilled this unfortunate creature, and then slung the hus-
band averboard, and having shot him, cut the body adrift.
The untia;ipy woman was finally carried off in the schooner.
The schooner was taken by Davis and part of his crew from
the southward of Long Island, leaving sevet'al of his men on
the Island. Cabbage Island is the place of rendezvous for
these robbers, and a considerable traffic is carried on there.
" The Sir Billy Curtis, finder, is arrived at Nassau; she
has been dispatched with a party from the garrison, to ap-
prdiend the pirates left at Long Island. Among them are
Davis and Dupuis.

" ills Majesty's schooner, Speedwell, Lieutenant Wernyss,
Commander, arrived at Nassau, May 3, from Cuba; she had
been on shore on Girger Quay, and nearly lost, hut was gut
off after taking every thing out, The Alinirante Spanish
armed brig was lying under the Key when the schooner run on
shore, and taking her for a Venezulian cruiser, proceeded to-
wards her in a very hostile manner. On learning that she
was his Britannic Majesty's schooner, the Commander of
the brig changed his conduct; but he would not afford any
assistance in getting her off, though he gave a passage to the
Pilot over to the Main for the purpose of procuring a vessel
in case One might be wanted. The Speedwell afterwards met
with a large privateer, the Constantia, Captain Northrop,
under Artigas's commission, with a tender. Lieut. Wemyss
went on board lice, and was received Very politely; Captain
Northrop professed his disposition to treat the British flag
with respect.

" Accounts had reached Nassau of an engagement having
taken place in the Straits between a Spanish sloop of war and
the Constantia above mentioned, in which both vessels drew
off, having suffered severcly."—(l6id.)
