A eanst• cruel instance of the tyranny and depre-
dations the Barbary Corsairs are in the daily habit of
committlng with impunity, has just been communi-
cated to its from Gibraltar :

" A Sisedisli galliot, the Ann and Julia, Captain
Lassen, sailed on the 26th June last from Lisbon,
bound to Bourdeaux. The vessel had been taken up
and laden with an English cargo by a respectable
mercantile house of Liverpool, one of the partners
being on board ; and all the passengers were English,
among whom were two ladies, with a young girl,
the daughter of one of them, and a female servant.,
The same night, at the mouth of the Tagus., the ves-
sel was boarded by the crew of the Algerine frigate
la Lionne, who robbed both the Captain and passen-
gers of their provisions. The rigs they threw over-
board, the sheep they killed for ;heir own use, and
the bandiui were only prevented from plundering
the passengers' trunks by the officer who was at their
head. The vessel was taken to Algiers, where they
arrived on the 17th of the passengers being re-
Idnced to the most severe distress by want of food.
They eipected at least to he supplied with previsions
there, instead of which, they were ordered off at a
few hours' notice. They wroteio the English Con-
sul, but he was at his country house, and did not
come near them. The Swedish Consul was ex-
' tremely acthe in their service, and sent on board a
few articles from his own table, for their immediate
. relief; but they were not allowed to lay in a 'cock,
and were becalmed on their voyage to Gibraltar,
' where they did not arrive till the 29th July, almost
famished by want of food i and there they were put
under quarantine, on account of having touched at
Algiers. While there, they saw that all the other
Swedish vessels, and a Dutchman, had been corn•
pletely gutted, and the crews sent ashore to slavery.
They only avoided the same treatment because. the
cargo end passengers were English./ .

LETTER I. Therm ISIS.
REAR SIR—As you expressed a desire that I should
communicate to you, from time to time, something
like a history of my travels in this country, I now sit
down with pleasure to the undertaking : and though
I cannot promise you much novelty or entertainment,
I shall endeavour, as far as I can, to preserve truth
in the narrative, which I am now to lay before you.
Without stopping to inquire whether I am one who
travel for profit, for pleasure, cut of a laudable, or
an idle curiosity, I shall commence my journal by
saying, that I embarked at Newhaven, on the coast
of Sussex, the day before yesterday, for Dioppe,
where we arrived early the next morning. I should
first say, that my portmanteau was taken to the cus-
tom-house to be examined before embarkation, and

the sum of four shillings was called for in con,:?.-
(pence : this demand was, however, moderated to
three shillings afterwards, which I have rt,) dr.uht is
very proper; but I could not clearly understand,
from any of the answers given by the custom-house
officer, to what fund this money was to be applied,
nor under what special authority it was exacted from
all the passengers, forty or fifty in number; all I
c,aild learn was, that tha charge was customary,
which, I believe, is true.

I chose to go by the way of Dieppe for several
reasons : one was, because a considerable distance is

saved in land-travelling, on both sides of the water,
if the traveller intends to visit Paris. Another reason
weighed with me, which was the promise of seeing;
a rich and beautiful country in journeying through
Normandy, in which ex;ectati.aa I was nit disap-
pointed.
Tile obj;:c;ions against this passage front Sussex
ere first, the chilic•fity and expens.: of gAring ua
board the packet-boats off Brighton, par:acid-ray in
bowing weath:r, as they lie at a consid2rahle dis-
tance from the shore; and whether embark:.-:;, or
disembarking, you are liable to be grossly impose,'
upon in the charge made by the waterne2 ; and,
sides, it not uafrequently happens, that tile pasen-
gets a:e drenched is salt-water iu the boat, from the
violence of the surf beating over it. This objLecion
may be obviated, if the traveller embarks at
haven, nine or ten miles to the eastward, wtiece
there is a very .fine vessel sails every Tuesday. Here'
there is a ape creek, and you may step ou board ft otn
the wharf, and be at sea in a very short time.—
Another.objection is the length of the passage, the •
distance from !Sussex to Dieppe being about 70 iniks;
whereas from Dover. to Calais, or Amlogne„, it is
only from 9.4 to :46„ and where the pasatge o: course
must be always. more certain. Those who are in
great dread of that almost unavoidable evil, sea,.izic-
ness, will prefer going by Calais, where you tray
arrive in less than three hours, from Doves, if the
wind and tide be favourable. it is, in general, tiu-
necessary • to lay in any stock el provisions for Ike.
passage, for nine. persons out of lets make no use of
thaw. Perhaps a little biscuit, ,and a slice of tongue

or so, are all that can be required, even by those s.vii.o
are kast apt to become sick. Tires: %situ are partial
to spirits, may take a little good kr InAy %%jilt them.
We arrived at Dieppe very early in the morning,
hot I cannot quit the subject of the packet without
stating, that in obi-. vessel there were eighteen beds,
very comfortably fitted up, and with convenitscies ;
but, to our surprise, we were incorn:.:d that the uppei
bil•ths were calculated to hold t aro per sons, in case of
necessity, and we were much cre.vded with.numbeis
on board. The fare is raised :o two guineas a-head,
Without finding any thing : the fare to Calais is halt-
a-euinea ; and it is customary to give the steward a
stilling each-
When we landed at. Dieppe, it was too early for.
the Custom-house, which did not •open till nine
o'clock. At this time the luggage was taken to the,
Custom-house to be searched. This was done with-
out any demand for money, as on the English side
of the water. All I had to pay was a few per.ce for
porterage; and here, as in England, there is no lack
of porters on the wharfs, and if you are not on your
guard, you will be equally liable to have as many
porters to pay as you have parcels to carry.
Before leaving. England, l had provided myself
with a passport from the Secretary of State's Office,
for which the sum of £2.75. was paid. This is thee
best kind of security; but those who choose it may
receive passports from The French Ambassador in Lots-
don, for which I have heard only eight or ten shillings
is paid. Why there is such a wide differrace in point
hf expense for a passport, I most leave others to et-
plain. There is another kind of passport which may
be obtained from the Mayor of any of 'the principal
French seaports at a ti ifiing expense, and will answer
the ourpose well; but I would recommend that the two,
last-mentioned passports be sent to be countersigned
by the French Minister (Prince Berteventn) at Paris,
to prevent any trouble or interruption in j,iurteyir,g
beyond Paris. For this counter signature the charge
is ten franks.
Dieppe is far from being nn insignificant place. It
is built cease to the sea, and you approach it by a
winding creek, with stone piers, which lead into the•
bason, where there is a good quay, and -a very safe
harbour. A small river runs into it. The streets of,
Dieppe are generally narrow, but not so much so as
those of Rouen and other places; aid there are a'
number of good houses, but the town is manifestly
not so Rourishing as it has been of old, from the de-
cay of trade and manufactures. It contains -abouti
20,000 inhabitants. The houses are well built, and
generally three stories in height ; but many are to
bad repair, aid some large ones empty. In particu-
lar, I observed a large quadrangular pile of buildin:r
nearly unoccupied, which had been formerly a great
tobacco manufactory, and which in the year 170
employed 200 hands.
There is a large high ancient castle built on the
steep cliff on the south side of the town, which, com-
manding the town and port,, must have been once
formidable.
Dieppe supplies Paris with. a great deal of fish,
which is sent up by post-carts. I saw a great quan.
tity landed, and asked the prices,.whic.. I considered
moderate.,Skate was in greatest abundance : a large
skate may he had, for a frank, or a frank and a half,
and other fish in proportion. Fowl,Pare fronftwo to

harbour. and I saw ao American ship which seemed
to be Lid up. Thete is an eseellent ivory manul4c-
tory here; and a very good kind of lace is also made,
in imitation of Mechlin and Valenciennes.
Dieppe was bombarded by the English in the year
11694, and some damage done to the tosser of the
church of St. Jaques.' 'There are three churches—
two in the town, and one in the Polet Ur FaushoOrg•
The Fauxblurg is populous and dirty. The churches
are hAntl:ome, hut they are not so clean and neat
in-
side as the churches in England; and they appear to
have been s'ript of some ut their valuables during the
revo:utionary period:

COVENT•GARDENTREILTEE.•••••Last night the Opera
of the Woodman was performed at this Theatre. The
cltit!f merit of this piece consists in its sweet music.
which, with such vocal performers as Miss STEPHENS,
SINCLAIII, and INcLaDost, must possess more than,
ordinary powers of attraction. The House was con-
sequently well filled, and the performance through.
out was rapturously applauded.
