AMERICAN BOTTOMS.

s into
The fubjoined lid of American • veffels earned
Algefiras in the courfe of lad year, will excite a fiery •
different impreflion from the unfounded clamours of
thole hot headed Members of Congrefs, who would
hurry America into a war with this country. It can
not but occafion confidetable Caprice, how it fltould
invariably happen, that of all the American vett,
freighted by Brit merchants for voyages up the Medi-
terranean, not one of them fhould be able to find
their way pad the Gut of Gibraltar, which is not
`much more than half the run contraaed for. Could
we for a moment entertain an unfavourable opinion
of the integrity of American Captains, it would be
eafy to account for the circumftance, however dop-
ier it may appear. It will be peen by a'eareful exat
mination of the lift, that the American loft nothing 4
by a 'Hit to Algefiras when loaded with Britifh prop
petty, for there be was paid hie fall freight, without r.er.
Cot ming more than half his voyage, and had even the
chance of obtaining a new loading. But as it would
be unfair to fufpeft men who may be perfeely booed,
we leave to others to account for a phenomenon which
to us is inexplicable. One cafe in the lift is a molt
angular one : the packet Berbiee, condemned on the
sad of July, was bound from Charlefkon), --..-, to
where I—to the Mediterranean I—No filch deltic's,
tion. She was bound to Londonderry, but found her
way into Algeliras ! Perhaps fhe miftook the Got of
Gibraltar for the mouthof the North Britifh Channel!!
It will be recollected, that in Angela lad, the Atae•
rican Ambaffador at the Court of-Madrid, reason-
bated again!! the condemnation of the cargoes of
America& cads as contrary to an important article
in the treaty of amity and commerce between Spain
and the United States. The article alluded to de-
dares
belligerent property in American bottoms to
be neutral. And the orders that were given by
the Spanilh Government in eonfequence of this re-
meaftrance, accounts for veflels carried in after that
period, in which the Britifh were intended, being
-liberated. A circumftance that refle&s• honour on
the fidelity of the Spanifh Government only.
