MADRID, Sue. 21.
The arrival of the young Queen, Donne Maria. has
struck such terror into D-in Miguel and Ferdinand the
Seventh, that the relations between the two Goverstnents
have assumed a greater degree of activity than ever.
King Ferdinand, who refused to receive openly the let-
ter which Don Miguel addressed to all the Sovereigns
of Europe, under a pretended necessity of following
the evariiple of the other Sovereigns, received, however.
in secret, both the agent and the letter if Miguel. A
courier extraordinary has in consequence been dispatched
to London, with fresh instructions to Count Ofalia;
M. Yriarte has been commissioned. • for the fourth
time, to negotiate a loan in foreign countries. He is
gone to• Paris for that purpose.
Viscount Chateaubriand. appointed Ambassador to
Rome, arrived at Lausanne on the 20th• September, on
the way to his embassy. He will remain for a few days.

NEAPOLI lAN ATTACK OF TRIPOLI.'
TRIPOLI, Sm. 3..
In a letter preceding this I informed you of the pre-
carious situation in which we were placed by the threat
of war on all sides. believe I told you we had escaped
a scouring from the Swedish squadron then at anchor
in this roadstead ; but that I felt persuaded the sum-
mer would not pass away without a visitation of
that nature. The storm has already burst and passed
away; it is desirable, therefore, to relieve the anxieties
of our friends by au assurance( f our safety.
On the 22d of August the squadron of Naples hove
in sight, consisting of three frigates of the largest class,
two corvettes, one gun brig, one schooner, four bomb
vessels, and eight gun-boats, under the command of
the Baron Sozj Carr ata. On the failure of an attempt
at mediation, the Neapolitan colours at their Consulate
were struck, as a declaration of hostility, which was
followed up on the part of the squadron by. an attack
in the afternoon of the 2341, when they sent us a few
flights of shells, sonic of which fell in the streets, and
through the houses in the town.. The fire was
returned from the batteries, and continued for
about two hours. •In the mean time the Christians had`
fled to the shipping. The rose n 'was chiefly occupied
by the military, and the country by 40,000 Arabs,
threatening such vengeance on the Christians as they
might be enabled to inflict with muskets• and knivessi
On the 24th and 25th the operations of war were sus•
pended by strong gales of wind, from which the refugees
on board the merchant vessels suffered so much, that
many chose to land at the English garden, and incur,
as they imagined, a precarious protection against the
ferocidus Arab, rather than be subject to sea-sickness
and the hazard of tempests. On the 26th, 27th, and
286, a series of actions was fought at a very great-dis-
tance, which lasted about four hours each day. The
Tiipolitan line of defence, consisting of the batteries,
flanked by fifteen gun-boats, returned a fire of rockets,
shells, and shot, with such good interest, that although
the Neapolitans invariably kept at a great distance, some
of their boats were struck, as were also some of those
of the Bashaw, but without injury to the crews In these
actions 396 shells were thrown, of which not above ten
reached the town after the first day. About 50 or 60
rockets were fired, and upwards of 4,000 cannon-shot
by the Neapolitans, who, instead of taking up a close
attacking position near the batteries, which it was ex•
.
petted they would have done, merely put one frigate
and a brig under weigh, which were opposed by a sinaU
schooner and a brig of ten guns, who exchanged broad-
sides at a distance and without effect.
Finally, when we rose on the morning of the nth,
in expectation of witnessing a renewecTeffort, we were
astonished to find the Admiral under weigh, at a great
distance, with his gun and mortar boats in tow. Al.
ready (the enemy not having been heard of since) the
Bashaw has fitted out his corsairs to swoop upon the
mercantile flag of Naples ; and his Highness declares'
that he will not make peace without being paid 500,000
dollars, and receiving indemnity for the expense of the
war, together With an annual tribute of 10.000 dollars.
The consternation among the Christians was great in-
deed, but much to the credit of this wretched Govern-
ment, although.6o,ooo men were under arms, not the
slightest injury was offered or insult given.
The Neapolitans suffered, how greatly we know not,
but we could see some of their gun boats in a sick-
ing state, towed out of action. The Tr ipolitans Wanted
but a good cause to merit the commendation of Europe
tor the bravery and skill of their defence. What issur-
prising is, that they did not suffer the loss of a oath
except four, who were killed by the bursting of a mor-
tar, and the charging of a gun without stopping the vent.
