FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 18iG.

The Paris Papers of the 20Ith contain a variety
of news ; among which we have an account of
the appearance and op-orations of an American-
Squadron of o.!iers, which account, tike

and we cannot tell'whet her it was Peace or War
between America and Algiers, though the latter
appears to he most probable,, From tilt buiteMent
that five barks bad been burnt, and that a descent
was supposed to have taken place. The business
herd described is, we doubt, too much for the
stall
,squadron to have achieved;

German Papers bring us intelligence from
Frankfort to the IStb ult. but say nothing about

the opening of the Diet. Extracts front them
precede this notice.

From Naples, of the 3d August, w,e learn that
an American vessel, tvith two ships of. the same
nation, are now in the Road. •The AmbassadOr
of the United States to Constantinople is on
board the vessel. They say the two *ships of war
will join the forces destined to act against the
Batbarians. Mr. ADRAIININT GIBS'S, Consul of the
United States of America, lately died at Palermo,.
where•he was found in his chamber, at the foot
of his bed, bathed in his blood,: with. a pistol by
his side.

The following further pailieulars of the taking
of, the Tunisian Pirates, with which our Readers
are already acquainted, will he found interesting :

" VLENNA, AUG, 10.--The latest letters front
Constantinople, of th,e 10th July, bring us. the
happy news of the capture of three
,of the cor-
sairs escaped front Tunis. One wits, taken in the
port of Moden in the Aimee, and two at St. Jean
d'Aere. The men on hoard the two. latter, about
400 in number, are atated to bawe gone from the
coast into theinteritir of the country, towards
Damascus,: probably. to of Dr their services to the
Governor, or, if they shoal(' be refused, to in-
crease the bands of robbers who rove about that
country. It is reported that one of these vessels

(there were said to be six in all) was lying in
wait bet7een Smyrna and Mitylane, and bad

raken a French ship.

There were even apprehrnsiont for the safety
f her Royat Highness the PrinCess of Wales,
whose Polacre was just in those seas ; and M.
lVlotitcahrier, Commander of the French frigate
which brought the Marquis de Riviere to Tenedos,
waited for the courier from Smyrna, in order, if
the report should he confirmed, to leaye Con-
stantinople immediately in quest of the Pirate.
The latest accounts from Sniyrun, however, do
not mention this ship, and state that the Princess
of Wales arrived at Seig uu the 23d of June, and

her way to Jerusalem."

Buccanneering appears to be becoming univer•
sally prevalent. The following information sherry
that it is not confined to Barbary Pirates or Euro•

peon Seas :

Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at

Buenos Awes, dated 28th May.
" The American schooner Mammoth, with a'
ere* of upwards of 80 men, sailed from hence
under Patriot colours, otia cruise to the Coast of t
Chili and China."

irirginia Papers and Letters have reached town
to the 20th tilt. We are anxious to convey from
them, for the intelligence of our countrymen at
home, the accounts they give of the distress and
di appointment generally experienced by .Eitglisk
manufacturers, and others, who have been induced
04 emigrate from their native laud in great num.
bers, under the hope of bettering their condition
in America. Their situation is pitiable enough r
most of them had been induced to part with the
whole of their little property in England, to pay
their passage to America. These del►tded people
now find themselves in a strange laud without re. =
sources, and fa►r from those friends who, in this
country, might have helped to support them in the
hour of distress. The mechanics, who hoped to
meet with hamediate employment and high wages,
find no work to be had : mid if any, merely jobs'
.`
on low term's. In fact, they have foUnd to their
sorrow, that the distress and difficulties in America . •
exceed these left behind them in England; Rigt
that all tliey have gained by the change is. a neW,
not a better country.
