FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.

OCT. 19.—" An American frigate has been cruiz-
ing in the Bay thefe three weeks, blocking up one
of the corfairs belonging to Tripoli, which is now
ready for fea, and which has been lying for tome
Lime in the New Mole. 1

•" A confiderable degree of alarm prevails here
among(' the Captains of Britifh merchant (hips,
going up the Mediterranean, that the DEY of
ALGIERS, according to his former threats, will,
after the 25th of November, feize all Britith vef-
fels that have not new Mediterranean palfes, none
of which have as yet arrived from England.

When Sir kotEzr BARLOW, in the SUPERB,
went to Algiers, about four months ago, to de-
mand fome veffels the Algerines had taken, owing
Ito their not having proper paffes to diftinguilh be-
tween a fquare-rigged veffel and a latine, or (loop
rigged veffel, the DRY then told him in a violent
rage, that if in five months time our Govern•
ment did not furnifh different out paffes, to
difcriminate between them, he would, at the
end of five months, declare war againft Britain ;
and the laft accounts from Algiers (tate, that he
(till perfifted in his determination of fo doing.—
Surely after the example fet us by the French of
humbling there barbarians, we shall not fuffer our-
(elves to be bullied into their terms !

" The only men of war here are the ACTIva,
MZDVSA, and Ex TREPRINANT cutter, which fails
for England the firft fair wind.
" The Garrifon are all extremely healthy, and
behave remarkably orderly and quiet on every
occafion."

FROM THE TRUE BRITON.

" There appears but too clearly, a determina-
tion, on the part of the French Government, that

moment of the arrival of the French Ambaffador
and before he has had any opportunity of entering
into Negotiation uponthe fubjea of the Differences
exifting between the two Countries. The Mani-
kilo which appeared in the Monitor of the 29th
of Odober,was but too well adapted to take away
all the pacific effea from the arrival of the Am-
baffador, and to indicate a fpirit, on the part of
the French Government, which ill accorded with
the million of a Minifter of Peace. Scarcely, how-
ever, have we had time to confider that Manifefto,
which only derived its importance from its official
charaaer, than another appears, in the fame Pa-
per of the 6th inftant, received yefterday, which
bears the fame Ramp and imprefs, and which,'
though fomewhat more brief than the former, is
equally inimical to the Interells of this Country.
Nay, it even goes beyond the former in hoftile
fpirit—it charaaerizes this Country as the Hope
Faaion of Europe, whole objet it is to make -Swit-
zerland a new Jerfey, for the purpofe of forming Con.
fpiracies, paying Traitor:, fpreading Libels, and pro.
telling the Enemies of France. If this is not the lan-
guage of Hoftility, we know not what is. That
there Articles thould be inferted in the Official
Paper of the French Government, previous to any
Negotiation being entered into in this Country
with the Reprefentative of that Government, is
an anomaly in the Politics of Europe. What can
be their objet ? Is it not to prejudge the queftion
of Negotiation ? Is it not at once to declare the
fine qua non of France, and that their Ambaffador
only comes here to make a peremptory demand,
inftead of a negotiable Propofition ? We hope
that this is not the cafe, becaufe we fincerely with
for the prefervation of Peace ; but it can only be
inferred from the repeated Manifeßoes in the
Moniteur, that Principles are to be laid down by
France, in the firft inftance, which are not here-
after to be departed from ; and that the Ambaf-
fador of the French Government only comes to
enforce them, inftead of conceding fomething for
the fake of Peace. It cannot but be remarked,
that the tenor of the fail Article, as well as the
former, is to charge this country with a defire to
rekindle the flames of war on the Continent, be•
caufe the has juftly interfered to Rem the torrent
of French Ambition, 2nd to refcue an Indepen-
dent Country, a brave and free People, from the
wanton and unjuftifiable attacks of Tyranny and
Oppreffion. In other words, to exclude this coun-
try from all interference in the affairs of the Con-
tinent, and to make that a pofitive condition in
negotiation. The conclufion of the Article affords
another fpecimen of the modern jargon of Paris :
ii It is more eafy," fags the Moniteur, "for the
waves of the Ocean, to beat down rock.o which have
braved their fury for forty ages, than for the Wile
faaion of Europe to rekindle the flames of war in the bo-
fom of the Will, and above all to make the Star of the
Fresch people for an inflant turn pak."
" This pafage is particularly marked, as if it
was intended to aura& fuperior attention. It is eafy
to difcover that every attempt of England to refill
the power or the ambitious defigns of Fiance, is
here meant to be charafterifed as the endeavour
of a Hoftile Faaion to excite a new War upon the
Continent, or according to the fathionable lan-
guage of Paris, in the bofom of the Wg?. A nego-
tiation with France muff then, it is evident, be
commenced under circumftances peculiarly deli-
cate, difficult, and embarraffing. That his Ma-
jelly's Minifters will do every thing confiftent with
the honour and interefts of their country, that
they will preferve peace if it is to be maintained,
without compromifing that honour and thole in-
terefts, but that they will alfo meet the exaggerat-
ed pretenfions of France with firmnefs—that they
will not yield to the principles and line of conduft
attempted to be impofed on this country by the
Moniteur, there is no doubt. The principles afferted
by the French Government in fo unprecedented a
manner, mull be met by a firm oppofition on the
part of this country, or elfe they mull deftroy in
their effea, our greatnefs and our fuperiority.—
This new Manifefto makes an oftentatious difplay
of the number of Powers whom France now reckons
amongft the number of her Allies, and as it fhould
teem for the purpofe of intimidating the Britith
Government. His Majefty's Minifters are, how-
ever, we are convinced, not to be overawed by
the menaces of France, and Banding firm upon the
interefts and honour of their Country, they will
doubtlefs treat fuch. menaces as they deferve; and
whilft they may concede points uneffential to our
happinefs or our welfare, will maintain inviolate
the grand bulwark of their Country's intereft, and
the vital principles of her profperity. We fincerely
hope that Peace may yet be prefcrved, we depre-
cate a renewal of the horrors of War, but if it
becomes a queftion whether this Country (hall yield
to the dilates of France, or draw the fword in de-
fence of her deareß interefts, is there a Briton who
will hefitate in his choice? The continuance of
Peace is indeed clearable,' but to preferve inviolate

MARK-LANE, NOVEMBER 10.
We have this day but very few purchafers,
and the articles, in confequence, are fcarcely laic.
able at the Currency mentioned in this Paper of
Monday 'att.

We are informed that the Minitier has at the
difpofal of Parliament, when it meets, three mil-
lions of money, which is Laved in the difcharge of
,the Army and Navy out of the grants of laft

A plan is now under confederation for the fpeedy
recruitmenters,m.iwithout
oouft
havingthe Ral
and expenfive praCtice of impreffing feamen.
A new Board of Controul is, it teems, likely to
be effablifited as a kind of medium between the
Board of Admiralty, and the Navy, ViClualling,
and Sick and Hurt Offices. This new Board of
Controul, it is laid, is to confia of two Naval
Officers, two Gentlemen of acknowledged expe-
rience in 'public bulinefs, and two Gentlemen of
the law. The meafure, it is underftood, has been
particularly recommended by Earl Sr. VINCENT.
Orders went down on Saturday to Plymouth
from the Admiralty and Navy Boards, to dif.
charge immediately from the King's Brewery at
South Down, 41 coopers, coopers' labourers,
bie..vers, and labourers ; thofe whofe fervices and
good conduct entitle them to remuneration, Earl
Sr. VINCENT will reward with a luperannuation
of 101. a year. Additional and arid orders are
received as to the vifiting of the men of war in
ordinary, which now are fo numerous as to reach
from Milbrook Lake to Saltafh. Each Matter of
a Divifion is to visit every thip in his divifion daily,
and as occafion and weather may offer, twice a
day. A Sub-Clerk of the Cheque is alfo to make
nocturnal vilits through the whole Ordinary in
rotation, and the reports are to be made every
morning to Commiffioner FANSIIAWE.
As the Government of France has relaxed the
feverity of its meafures with refped to the cam-
penfations to be afligned to the Grand Dire GE
Tufcany, the fupplementary plan of indemr,;tts
is expected to be carried into full effed by the pe-
riod originally affixed to its eXecUtiOr.—ihc 111 of
next month. It is not yet officially known what
the Grand Duke's new compenfations are to con-
lilt of, but report eltimates them at I,Soc,coo flo-
rins, to arife from a confolidation of abbeys and
various tenures of ecclefiaftical property. The
Duchy of Parma, the difpofal of which has de-
volved on the FIRST CONSUL, is probably one
• source of mutual accommodation and reciprocal
advantages.
Several parties from the Guards yelterday left
town upon the recruiting fervice.

On Friday morning bills were thick up in Glaf-
gow,oiferink to recruits a bounty of Five Guineas
for the sad regiment of foot, at prefent lying

when it is underflood, that the sad was within
the number of regiments which were to have been
difbanded as loon as pofEble after the late peace.
