by the American Commodore (now here), is contemptible ; it con-

bune, Phaeton, Active, and Ranger, have, With the Chanticleer sloop,
dropped in here within these few days, and have all proceeded on
to Algiers, where they will meet several others, as well as the
Dutch squadron, anti inte'rcept all Algerine vessels, but I hope
will not again venture an attack en the shore-batteries, which are

to the westward, as soon as the wind is fair."
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Messina, dated
