all the vicissitudes of n Jong life.of
public service, no circumstance has ever produce()
on my mind such impressions of glatitude anti joy
as the event (!f yeiterday. To have been one of
the bumble instruments, in the hands of Divine
Provyence? for , bringing to reason a ferocious
Governinent, and destroying for ever the insider-,
able horrid system of Chri,,t;an slavery, rktli never

such itnpressions, to oiler my sincere congratula-
tions to their Lordships on the Complete success
which attended the falma effort; of las,Majcsty's

AD ,000 men. had been brought down from the lu-
14tior,. and all the Janisarics called in from dis-
`tun t garrisons, and that, they were indefatigably
employed in 'their batteries; gnu4oats, &c. and
-every where strengthenill\-the defences. .
The Dey informed CaPtain)lashwood, be knew
peifectly will the armanent was -destined for Al--
Tiers, anti askell him a it was tint ; he replied, if
he had such information, he knew as much as be
did, and probably from the same source---the pub-
,
lie prints.
The ships were all In port; and between forty

and fifty gun and mortar boats ready, with seve-
,.: -rat more in forward repair. The Dcy bad closely
tinfined the Consul, and refused tither tai give
np, ortromise his personal safety ; nor would
lie bear a word respecting the officers and men
itiaed in the boats of the 'Prometheus.
From the. continuance' of; adverse winds end
ealms, the hind to the westward of Algiers was
not made before the 116111, and the next morning
Istday-break the fleet was advanced iu sight of the.
city, though not so near as I had intigoled. As
'the ships were becalmed, I embraced this oppor-
tunity of disputching.a boat, under cover of the
Severn, with a flag of truce, and the demands I
had to make, in the.name of his Royal Iliglotess
the Prince Regent, on the Dey of Algiers (o!
1006 the aceontpanying are copies) direetiog the
Officer to wait two ur three hours for the Deys'
answer, at which time, .it no reply was sent, he
seas to return :to the flag-ship ; he was met near
the Mole by the Captain of the Port, who, on be-
ing told the answer was expected in one hour, re-
plied that it was impossible. The Officer then,
said he wouldwait: two or three hours ; he then
observed, two hours was' i silte Inficient. •
1: The fleet as this time by' the springing up of
she sea breeze, had reached the bay, and as ere
preparing the boats Ind flotilla for service, until
hear two o'clock, when, observing my Officer was
returning with the signal flying, that. no answer
had been received, alter a delay of upwards of
three hours, Irinstantly made the signal to know
if the ships were all ready, whiehbehig answered
in the affirmative, the Queen Charlene bore up,
followed up by the fleet, for their oppniated
tai ions ; the flag, leading in the precriheil order,
Wtl3 anchored in the entrance of the Male, at
'about forty yards dlitance.. At ink mnment not
a gun had been fired, and I began to stirlicet a
full compliance with the ternikwhich hail been so
many hours in their hands ; tat this period of pro.
iound silence, a shot was.. fired- at us from the
?Joie, and two nt the ships to tlienotthward then
folloWlog ; this was promptly returned by the
Queen Charlotte,' who was then lashiog to the
Thuintraq ()fa brig, fast to the shore in the mouth
of the Mole, and which we had steered fur, as the
guidtto our position,. • • • ,
Thus commenced a fire as animated ant! %rot<
isuplitirted as, 1 believe, was ever wititessed, from
a (platter before three until nine, without inter-
ttnission, and which did not cease altogether until
Itallpast eleven.
The ships immediately following Me were ad-
itairubly and coolly taking
,their' stations, with a
precision even beyond 'my liltltt, sanguine hope ;
and never did' the liriasf) isiigfet7eire, at any tre-
- 'colon, mire zealons•ainritOritutrable suppoi t.-
70 look further .on 'the line than immediately
round me was perfectly impossible, but so well
grounded was my confidence nt the gallant Officers
1 had the honour to command, that my mind was
left perfectly 'rue to attend to other objects, and
I knew them in their stations only by the destruc-
tive effect of their fire upon the walls and batteries
to which they were opposed.
- 1 had about this time the satisfaction of seeing
Nice-Admiral Van Cappellen's flag in the station
I had assigned to him, and soon after, at inter-
eats, the remainder of his frigates; keeping up a
•well supported fire on the flanking batteries he
had offered to cover us from;' as it bad not been
in toy power, • for want of iotteto; to bring him in
'the front of the Mole,

- About sun-set.l received a 'message from Hear-
Addlirdi Milne, conveying to me the severe loss
the Impregnable was snstaining, having then one
loindred and fifty killed and wontuted, and rt—
ipiesting I would, if possible, semi him a' frigate
to divert some of the fire he wa3 tinder.
The Glasgow, near me, immediately weighed,
bat the wind bad been driven away by the can.
ponotle, arid she was n-bligcd to anchor again,
baying obtained rattier a better position than be-
,

1 had at Ibis time sent orders to the eNplosion-
, vessel, under the charge of Lieutenant Fleming
and Mr. Parker, by Captain Iteade, of the eni
ginc crs, to. bring her into the Aiole,; but the
Rear-Admiral having thought 'she would do,him
`essential service if exploded under the battery in
front, I sent orders to this vessel to that effect.
which were executed. 1 desired also the Rear-
' Admiral might be informed, that many of the
ships being note in flameS, and certain ut the de.

. limn:firm of the whole, I considered I hail cxc.
crated the roost impintant Pan of my instructions,
end should wake every preparation for withdrtw...
ing the ships, and desired he would do,so soon
as possible with .his division.
'there were awful moments during the conflict,
which cannot now attempt to describe, occasion-
ed by firing the ships so near us, and I hail long
. resisted the enger intrcaties of several around me,
to malie the attempt upon the outer frigate, dis-
tant about 100 yards, which at length I gave into,
and Major Gossett, by my side, who had been
- eager to land his corps of misters, pressed me most
anxiously for permission to accompany Lieutenant
Bichards in the ship's barge. The frigate was
jostaudy boarded, and in ten minutes in a perfect
7,e : 'a ealiant young Alitiortyman, in Rocket-
boat No H. although, forbidden, was led by his
sident spirit to follow in support of tile barge, in

about ten o'clock silenced, and in a state of per-
fedi ruin and dilapidatibn, and the fire of the ships
was reserved as much as possible, to save powder,
and-reply ta a few guns now and then beating
upon us, although a fort on the upper angle of
the city, on which our guns could nut be brought
to bear, eoutinttedto annoy the ships by shot and
thells during the whole time.
Providence at this interval gave to my anxious
wishes the usual laud wind, common in this hay,
and my expectations Were completed. We, were
all hands employed in warping bud 'lowing off,
and by the help of the light air, the whole were
under sail, and came to anchor out of read, of
shells, about two in the morning, after twelve
hours' incessant labour.

Tbeilotilla of mortar, gun, and rocket boats,
under 04e direction of their respective artillery
officers, shared, to the full extent of their power,
in the honours of this day, and performed gdod
service ; it was by their lire all the ships in the
port (with,. the exception of the outer frigate)
were in flames, which extended rapidly over the
whole arseual, store-houses and gim-boats,
hibiting.a spectacle of awful grandeur' and ink.
rest no pen can describe.
The sloops of war Which had been appropriated
to aid and assist the ships of the line mat prepare fur
their retreat, performed not only that duty well,'
but embraced every opportunity of firing through
the inieryals, ansi were colistatitly in motion. The %hens' from the bonsbs were admirably well,
thrown by the royal marine artillery; althOugh
thrown directly across and over tts, not an acci-
dent, that 1 know at, occurred ill nay ship.
The whole was condoeted in perfecfsilenee, and

and remembered by these barbarians for ever.
conducting this ship to her Station by the
Masters of theleet, and ship,, excited the praise
of all. The former has been my couspanjoo iu

thtVing thus detailed, although hot imperfectly,
the progress of this short service, 1 venture to
hope, that the humble and' devoted set vices of
filyggii nod the Officers and mess of every descrip-
tion I. have the honour to comnsaml, will he re-
ceived by his rtoyal Highness the Prince Regent
with his accustomed grace. ihe approbation of
