ZARA, AUGUST IS.

The Spanish merchantman, the Santa Fe, after
having escaped from the Mainot and Albanese pirates,
has cast anchor in our port, with a rich cargo of
drugs and dying woods. The Captain reports. that
he met with Juan Morillano, a sailor belonging to
the San Giacomo, the crew of which had made a
gallant but fruitless defence against an Aigerine
Pirate off the Bauches•du-Var.

The Captain of the Pirates, having taken the ves-
sel, put to death all the sailors; his soldiers mutilated
the dead bodies, and committed excesses of cruelty
worthy of Cannibals. Juan Morillano was left for
dead on board of the boat, which, as well as the
vessel, was abandoned. No news have been received
of the vessel. This sailor was still in a situation
which caused his life to be despaired of, when he was
met by the Captain of the Santa Fe, who conveyed
him on board his vessel, and left the boat. It is not
known under what flag these enormities have been
committed. The situation of the unhappy Juan
Morillano has excited compassion, and a considerable
subscription has been made for him.
It is affirmed that a Russian Squadron, which is
in the Bla:k Sea, is destined fur the Mediterranean.

=TRACT FROM A LETTER WRITTEN ON BOARD HIS MA•
*TESTY'S FRIGATE THE DIANA, IN GIBRALTAR ROADS.

DATED AUGUST 10.

" 1 write to you in haste, to inform you that we
shall probably set sail tomorrow, in conjuuction with
the squadron of Lord Exmouth, to go and bombard
Algiers. Our squadron consists of six ships 9f the
line, two of which are three-deckers—seven frigates,
four three-masted bomb vessels, five brigs, and a
cutter. I think that for this time it will be serious,
At least on the part of the English, who have power-
ful motives, because the Algerines have assassinated
all the English who were in the own."
A letter from Namnr, of the 6th instant, contains
tha following details, ( which we cannot warrant to
be exact,) upon the affray which took place in that
town The Belgians fought, the day before yes-
terday, in a desperate manner, in the barracks, the
ligltt horse against the miners. There were seven or
eight killed, ten or twelve wounded—among them a
cadet of the miners, sixteen years of age, whose right
arm has just been amputated. Captain Martens re-
ceived two cuts with a sabre, which, however, only
cut his clothes. They were so incensed against emcli
other, that they would not listen to their Officers and
Generals. It is not yet known what gave rise to
this quarrel."
The calumnies published in the foreign- papers,

(rather papers written by foreigners) which are
printed in Belgium, have just caused a serious quar-
rel, as there was reason to expect. A duel with pis-.
cols took place yesterday, behind the Palace of
Lacken, between Messrs. D—, and C— ; the first
bad his cheeks pierced by a ball, and a tooth broken.
