TsiE LA I'E MAS9ACitE AT BONA, IN THE
' bIEDIfEstRANEAN.

" TRAPANI. MAY Vit.

The following is the Trtnslation of 3 Letter writterr
in Italian by the English ti ice• Consul at Trapani, to
the liii:3sh Vice• Consul at Palermo :

Stu—l am truly afflicted at being obliged t.
announce to yon the arrival ye.terdey and today, at
this port, of several vessels from the Cord Fishing,
which had the good f inane to cstapc from Bona.
with the dreadful intelligence of the tragedy which
has taken place inaleat barbarous country, where 791
vessels were assembled at one point, and ‘2B:i at ann.
tiler, some from Naples and others from Corsica, and
the Island of St.lvlarguerite ; uil carrying the English
flag ; all for the purpose of the coral fishing, al:owed
them by the English establishment at Bona, as well
as by passports from the British Coosui-General at
Algiers, Mr. O'Donnell, or Chun your Consul at
Boone, M. Escredero, who k appointed by the Eng-
lish Consul : every vesstl contributed 2J() crowns to
the so pplrt of tills establishment.
" Having personally examined several Masters of
vessels, to ascertain still more fully t' e circumstances
of this disastrous event, the following are the parti-
culars with which 1 was made acquainted :
• AU the Ship-ma-ter• immediately on their arrival at Ilona,
having paid the duties and t,loa,ned the passports above mention
ed, landed, and proceeded to take from the magazines cf the
British Consulate, wit/re the provisions are kept, those which
were necessary to them for six months, as well as ail the articles
used hi coral fishing. They had peaceably begun to fnk, and had
already deposited in those magasinesthe coral obtained.
• Oa the Lid, being Ascension Day, an hour after sun rise,
when all the crews were making ready to go to mass, a cannon-
shot was beard tram the castle, and at the same instant fOOO
Turkish, Levantine, sad Moorish troops, both cavalry and infah-
try made their appearance : part rushed up the country, and im-
mediately another band made towards the rider, where the fish-'
Mg vessels were moored, and fired, as well as did the forts of
the couetry,oa the oafanunate crews, who were partly on board.
their barks and partly ashore, and all were enassacred. They
seized sacral Mnglish flar, which they tore in pieces, trampled
under fast, and dragged on the veand as in triumph.

a Those who were in the country succeeded itt saving themselves
by Sight s they said that they saw dose troops rlunder the house
of the Consul, sad the nsagasi.tes in which were the provisions,
u well as the Coral : and they also saw them cut of the head of
a cousin of the Coastal, who was flying, almost naked, to a
Neapolitga felutca. The brother of this unfortunate person, Mr.
Francis Etcredero, after having left tied down in the midst of
these banditti the Consul himself, joined a Sicilian iblp•master,
and they embarked together, steering (or Goleta and Sardinia.—

several Ship-masters and seamen, who had raPiti refuge in a ma-

to Ay td the barks, which were laying without Erews.
The same Ship-maste+, who speaks the Turkish language,
adds, that having asked a Turk the cause of these hostilities, the
latter answered, that the Dry of Algiers Dal .Icclared war against
the English, because the English Adntiral had made a demand
that the Algerine fleet should he burnt. Cion knows If this be
true !..-The master of the bark last arrived (on board of whielt
was a muter barber, an intelligent inan,) relates that the fortress
had immediateiy redonunencett brirg, without any one knowing
the reason.

In such a state of uncertainty, I cart say nothing positive.
bat I shall not fail to interrogate further the crews of such vessels
as arrive in nature, and which are expect►d to bring the woun-
ded. I shall not fail to make you acquainted with any further
facts I may learn. I art, &c.
