Extract of a letter from Captain JAMES, of the brig
Hero, from Zante, dated Siangate Creek, Nov. JO:
44 On the Bth instant we fell in with a squadron of
Algerine cruisers. three brigs and one schooner,
about 40 miles E. of Gibraltar. The schooner ran
up alongside under American colours, but we soon
saw that they were Turks. They hailed us, and or-
dered us to heave to, and get our boats nut and come
alongside. I was loath to comply with these orders,
but being obliged, I got the boat out, and went
alongside the schooner ; I was then ordered to the
brig which I supposed to be the Commodore. Aftr r
examining our Mediterranean pass, I was told to re-
turn on board : they then hoisted the red flag. They
had three or four prize ships with them, Swedes or
Poriugueze. They did not board us, bat were very
impertinent."

More than 6,000 'rickets will be I)rawn on rat

A general meeting of the Gaildry Incorporation
of Perth was held on Thursday sennight, for the I
purpose of taking into consideration the Report of a
Committee previously appointed to inquire into their
rights and privileges, when the following, among
other resolutions, was unanimously adopted s•
" That this incorporation fatting deeply; not only their politi-
cal degradation, but the numerous evds attendant on the present
system of the Government of the burgh, by a self•elected Coup-
cal, subject to no controul, are resolved to use every legal endea-
vour tb procure emancipation from the uujust, impolitic, and
elevens restrictions and burdens they lie under at present ; and
that they will with moderation, but inflexible Amines., perw-
UN in their endeavours until they attain the end at their pre•
sent lendable purseit. Desiring that it may be always kept in
view teat they aim at no chimerical views ot general Reform, no
innovation on the Consdtutloo, or claim. to universal suffrage, or
interferecce with Parliamentary elections, but a restoration of
their turista and chartered rights as BUrgesers formerly erjoyeti,
and now unjustly usurped by self-dreted Councils. The right of
resident Burgesses engaged in trade end manufactures to elect
their representatives in Council—a right every way cantina,'
with the ptindples I the Constitution, of justice, and of re‘stin,
absolutely necessary to the improvement of the pollee, property,
and revenue of the burgh, and inseparably cossetted with the
encouragement of the spirit of enterprise, emniMerte, mad tus.
