From a supply of Dutch Papers which we received
this morning, we have extracted a most interesting
document; it is a Treaty of Alliance offensive and
defensive, concluded between the Courts of Spain and
the Netherlands, and for the express purpose of pro-
tecting the subjects of both nations reciprocally
against the Barbary Pirates. The stipulations in this
Treaty do great honour to the principles of the con•
tracting Plenipotentiaries, and if they are acted upon,
which so far as the King of .he Netherlands is
concerned, we cannot doubt, the vessels and subjects
of the two nations will certainly be exempted from
molestation in future. We trust we shall have to
record similar Treaties by all the European Powers
in succession, and we may then expect that a great
moral change will be effected in the character of the
inhabitants of the northern -shores of Africa. Pos.
setting the richest and most luxuriant track of coun-
try on the great African Continent, and command-
ing, as they certainly might, a mart for their produce
throughout every corner in Europe, the inhabitants
of those luxuriant shores have been the most indo-
lent, and yet the mast mischievous neighbours which
civilized society could have. Like the American
savages, they seem never to have exerted themselves
but when hunger called them, and then they pounced
upon their prey with all the fury and all the remorse.
less indiscrimination of a tyger. In the case of the
Algerines, and the other Mediterranean -pirates,
however, the numerous rapacious appetites which
they had to satisfy, of Deys and Pachas at home,
and of Court favourites at Constantinople, rendered
their predatory visits more frequent, and still more
injurious to their peaceable neighbours.
