THE ALGERINSS.

By letters from Carthagena, of the 19th of July,
we are informed that the Algerines have gone through
the hive of de.;laring war against Spainoi—Of the
actual commencement of hostilities we had already
informed our Readers, and that these lawless ;Ann-
derers had actually landed and carried off defenceless
inhthitants from the Spanish soil.
The fact respecting these thieves, is simply this
Lait year they fitted oat a fleet to lay the Swedes un.
da contribution. Forbearance was obtained, whether
by threats or by purchase, we know not : and the fleet
being ready, the Algerines thought they might turn
their armament to a profitable account by attacking
the Americans The latter have given them a
threshing ; but the fleet being still in existence, they
have resolved to plunder the Spaniards—And so they
will. any others who will submit to it.
It is disgraceful to every State in Europe to allow
such repeated attacks op the part of these lawless
free-booters upon any of the children of our common'
family ; and we sincerely hope that our owo Govern-
ment, which has rendered such important services to
Christendom, by striking down the hydra WhiCh
np-
pressed the land, will not any longer deter the anni-
hilation of these nests of pirates.
The proper way to scale such a business is not by
mrrely chastising the Chiefs. Attack them in their
own fortresses. Seise upon and keep purser:ion of all
the offending coast towns, on the Northern shore of
Africa !

'Phis is the true way to effect any thing like a ra-
dical civilization of the inhabitants. On the natives
themselves you would confer the greatest blessings,
by destroying the power and Gumming of their
pi mat tyrants.

Our Readers will perceive by the following article,
dated Madrid, that FERDINAND is still engaged in
the work of persecution. He receives in return the
grateful heritage of the restored Jesuits. it must
be cenfrsseti, that the Monarch and his panegyrists
ale well suited to each other :

- • " MADRID, AUGUST 5.
' Our Gazette has favoured us with three letters:

one from the ?ape to the King, thanking him for the
restoration of the Alma' ; another from some Vicars
capitols:. with :he same view, and offering to remove
all obstructions which May thwart the success of a
measure so pleasing to their Goo ; and the third let-
ter is from some Jesuits still remaining, from the pe.
rind of the expulsion, expressive of their gratitude to
his Majesty,
" It is asti nishing that a set of Monks so formi-
dable to all Prins:esti,' their doctrine of mid* should
be re-established, and re-established by a King!
64 At first view some people, not sufkiently ac-
quainteo with current affairs, might imagine, and
-with some appearance of reason, that nothing is
thought of here, but monks;. theta are, however,
matters which seriously occupy the attention of those
attached to government; the journey of the King to
Paris, which is talked of, and which, it is not doubted
will take place, is, it would appear, very disagreeable
to these. gentry, -and even to his Majesty.
66 It is said alsu that the army, ot which a part had'
already returned to the interior, has received orders
again to advance, and to await the King on the fron-
tiers ; some regiments are already mentioned asking
kaly to accompany his Majesty en his journey.

Don Alvarez Guerra, Ex-Minister at Var, has been
fond mired to banishment, and to pay the ezpences

been permitted to enjoy the liberty of conversing
with their friends, have been again shut up in secret.
