got before the wind, and by baling and)iumping,

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's
at Nassau, dated Oct. 14
" In the month of June last, the British
schooner Cement, of this port, sidled
• malt with a cargo of dry goods, amounting in vit,
Inc to about 40,000 dollars : thee goods were
purchased here by some Spaniih traders. On her
way to Havannah the Cement was captitred by
the Carthagenian privateer Saw inela, and carried
to Campeachy, where some of the passengers were
Laded. The master and crew, however; with the
traders that were•principally interested, were de.
trained on board,-•and the Sa»tinela, with her
prize, set sail for Campeachy, and nothing has'
Since been -heard of them. We titi not suppose
Phut -a British vessel, with British property on
Guard, .has any thing to apprehend front those
Cruisers; but :we do not conceive a British yes-
, Sal safe with Spanish property on board.!'

• INTERNATIONA L COURTESIES.

A Correspondence appears in the AMerican
Ors, between Lord' Ex MOUTH and WILLIAM &lA-
£5ll, Eft!. the Consul-General of the United
states:at Algiers, which is highly honourable to
both parties. His Lordship stales•from on board
the Queen Charlotte, under date (it the 2d of Sep-
tember, that he had been inforMed- by the •British
Consul, Mr. M'botiald, -of the extreme kindness
and .attention of Mr. Shake•
to him during the
period of his•cruel conanement by the Etey
giers, and therefore his Lordship felt it his•incli-
nation, as well as- his duty as Commander in Chief
of the British fleet, -to. convey to Mr: 'Shake, in
the ntime of the British nation, as well as indi-
vidually, his sincere acknowledgments for • the
tenor he had given of his friendly disposition.—
His Lordship then refers- to the humane and .ge-t,
Verona conduct of Mr. Shafer towards the Officers
and men of Ws Majesty's ship Prortiethetts, who
heittg thrown into chains at Algiers, Mr. Slialer;
with marked humanity, tarnished them with
efothes for their comfort, and money to reheve.
the •cravings of hunger; all ‘vhich was done ,at
his personal risk. 'Such acts of huMane genero-
sity, his Lordship observes, Ought to be recor&-
ed; and his Lordship pro Mises to bring the .cir-
,enntstanee before the view of his Majesty's Go-
vernment in the light it merits. The answer of.
Shafer is modest and gentlemanlike.. He
says that his regard for Mr. 11-I‘Donald alone -was
sufficient to call into activity every thing in his
tower to serve him and his family : and that he
tweet tlolibted but that, under sith -circtun
Stances, iris counirymen would have received from
any British (Meer,- si#uated as he was, the same
relief, which it was 'fortunately in his power to
extend' to the Officers --and boat's crew of his
tannic: ItLijesty!s ship Prometheus, so unjustly_tle-
taMed at Algiers; and the letter concludes with
expressing Mr,. Shales's sensibility of the fLitter-
log approbation of his Lordship on his conduct.

Yesterday about four o'clock the Princess Au-

Palace, attended by -111adame DLYBouno. The

LAND, the

7Partments. Eder Royal Highness came 'by Ca-

Slept at Sittingbourne, and floin thence proceeded

her domestics. Her Royal Highness is between
13 and 14 years of age. •
A Court of Common Council will be held to-
Inorrow, to receive the PRINCE REGENT'S Answer
tg the. Petition of the Corporation. The

answer, we understand, almost• stunned the in-
solent faction, and whether they may have been
able in the interval to muster brass enough for a
