This morning we received Boston Papers to the ,
' 17th.ultimo. Halifax to the 25th, and New York to
the 17th, from Which

from. the Carthagenian privateers, and the Captain
• carried on board the Commodore's vessel, who ap-
peared to be an Irishman ; and he asked if he al-
lowed his men to plunder He answered, they had
free toleration to do as they pleased, and if he affron-
ool them they would put him and the crew to death.
NEW YORK, AUGUST 14.
Captain Bond, of the British brig Peter Ellis, from
Guadeloupe, informs that the French Governor,
leirdnozi, had arrived at Guadeloupe, and took pos.
session of that island on the 25th of July.
=TRACT OF A LICITIR FROM HALIFAX, DATED Auo,
Our letters from the United States represent
every thing dull. So great is the stagnation of trade,
that but very few of the merchant vessels are etri-
ploysd. Most of our countrymen who have emi..
greed, are said to be in a most deplorable state t a
number of them have applied to the different British
Consuls, to be sent borne as distressed British subjects.
To alleviate our neighbours' distresses, in part, some
of our leading Ines, we'are sorry to hear, are sending
their money Ont of the province, to invest in .Ame-
rican Bank Stock; and are such acts justifiable?"'
• General Toledo, by an article frOm Alexandria of
nth August, had arrived in that place. This Officer
sommanded a' part of the Revolutionary force in.
South America. He was accompanied by his Se-
cretary and another Gentleman. They came passen-
gers, we understand. with Captain Grinnolds, from
New Orleans, where an attempt had been made by
sortie of the emissaries of the old Government to as.
sessinate him. from which he narrowly escaped, a
bill passing through the cuff of his coat.
The object of his visit to Alexandria was a pro.
Round secret. Time appeared little doubt it related
tofurthering the views of the Revolutionists, although
it is said he has declined the services of many indivi-
duals, and appeared averse to private conversation.
• On the 2d January he was denounced by D. Orrris,
" a trsitoro who was preparing an expedition at New
_Orleans. against the dominion of the Xing, his
master."
The Baden Daily Arivartiror of the 18th ultimo,
contains the following
" HALIFAX, AUGUST e.
" Arrived the schooner Four Sons, Kelly, ten days
ftem Boston, with flour and sheep on deck : a
scheoner from Quoddy, with a car4o of timber, re-
ported the brig Prince of Waterloo, WALKER,
thittpjF/0 days from Annatto Bay, (Jamaica),
wit) rwae, rum, coffee, &c. for Quebec, on C.e
ah si, rata, Cape Antonio, be *ring due west,
at two P.. discovered seven sail of vessels (six
achoJurrs and one brig) two of whom bore down
and boarded uss which proved to be Spaniards; the
next day saw the same vessels, three of them again
stood for us an.-1 fired a gun, which passed over as ;
sent their boats and left 24 Spaniards on board,
armed with swords, pistols and cutlasses ; took
charge of the brig, sent the Master, with his papers.
on board the Commodore, and made the Mate and
crew prisoners on deck.
" They then proceeded to rob the vessel, broke
open the Captain's trunk, from which they toot 1500
in gold; stole the Mate and mein' clothes, broke
the Captain's quadrant, and swore they would mnr.
der every damned Englishman on board. One of
the schooners had a Cross in her foretop.sail. and
wet thought to be the privateer Industry, formerly
of Baltimore."

No particulars are known by Government respect-
lag the attack on Algiers beyond those which we
yesterthy laid before our Readers; nor is it probable
that Ministers will publish any thidg on the subject
till the Official Account, which was sent of by Lord
EXMOUTH on the 9Sth ultimo, shall reach them.—
The French Consul's account was dated the Slst.
Expecting the bombardment, it is possible he had
tetiredinte the country. Algiers lies on the side of
a mountain rising rather abruptly from the sea, with
strong batteries, especially to the westward. The
country houses of the Consuls are mostly on a hill to
the eastward of the town.

The Algerines were assisted in their defence by
some Europeans, chief y french, among whom are.
reckoned 56 Officers of Artillery, and 18 of Engi-
neers l • but nothing could withstand the destructive
ITS of the cannon, the bombs, and the rockets,
abowred upon the place by the British men of war.
What terms can his Lordship have given to such
* faithless 'brute as the Dux of As GIZNS 1 is the ques-
60A in every one's mouth. If his Highness is to be
permitted again to navigate the Mediterranean the
work must again be repeated. Does his Lordship
proceed also to Tunis ? Report says, that this is a
point decided on.

- Much as we hope for the termination of that dread-
ful quern of piracy and slavery which has braved
the resentment of Christendom since the time of
liAlliattnssa, and greatly as we applaud the man-
ner in which our Navy is now employed, we do
not hesitate to lay, that a new order of things can-
al* be established to render the navigation of that'
inland sea safe to all nations, and prevent it from
'Pin becoming the theatre of Mnssulman insult,

By the ORPHEUS' from Rio Janeiro, we have re.
ceived accounts to the 21st of July, which throw
some light on the warlike preparations and future,
views tithe Portuguese in that quarter of the world.,
We some days ago had occasion to notice, that Corn+
modore Bowmor, in the Minima frigate, had carried
out instructions to remonstrate against the projected
descent of the Brazil troops on the territory of L 4
Plata, but we expressed our dread of his erriving too'
late, after so long a detention at Portsmoeth He,
however, arrived four days after the eepedition had
sailed, and immediately a cotter was sent atter its
and the result was, that all the troops, baggage, can.
non stores, icc. were landed in the Island of St. Ca'
therine's, the troops put into barracks, and the stores
llodgedin magazines. The hired neutral transports
were paid off, so that the threatened invasion of the
Eastern side of La Plata is man end for the present:
From .this it appears that Ministers are not so indif.
'trent to the affairs of the Western World as some
of our contemporaries would insinuate; and as the
same people maintain they ought to be.
It now appears beyond doubt, that one of the mar-
riage conditions between Spain and Portugal was,
that the latter theuld reconquer Buenos Ayres on
account of the gust, as an equivzjat for the dowries
the two Paptcasses were to carry with them. Had
this been the case, what would /11", become of our
trade there ? If Spain is too illiberal to accept the
mediation' of Great Britain, why is Portugal to in-
terfere in an hostile manner
The Portuguese PAINCESULS left Rio Janeiro (or
.Cadiz on the Sd of July, in a Portuguese man of war,
accompanied by two frigates, one of which was Spa-
nish. Lord Benz:wow is in one of theta. He has

He has had an estate given him in Portugal, worth,

rears of service money, and all his expensetrat Rio.
