BERLIN. NOVEMBER t.
Our Government continues to pursue its dignified
course, careless of the eternal cries of those whom nr
government can satisfy. It knows well. that with.
out friction there is no fire, and without opposition
no animation in the state. Instead, therefore, of
skewing any severity towards any new political view,
it has left the press at fall liberty in this respect also,
subjecting only the hasty compositions of the Journal
to a reasonable Censorship. This., there appeare,
here some years ago ‘e Buchholtz'slTheory of the
Political World," the Leviathan and other writing.,
all of which were in praise of forms of Government
entirely different from outs, and hich incensed all
our political Purist:. Thus it happened with the very
bold productiomAlled 4' World and Time," whit!
'some political-Hypochondriacs urged the Guyon
went to have prohibited as a dangerous woe k ; bus
whose importunities were disregarded. The Covert
meat knows, that people will always be found to en
tertain various opinions upon forms of Government
thus one dreams of a perfect Republic ; that another
thinks the strictest Monarchy is necessary to maintai'
order ; that a third is in love with Aristociacy, &c.
Several foreign pipers which so violently expose(
Colonel Massenbach, and blame the conduct of tht
Prussian Government in this affair, seem not to
know, or not to choose to know. that the complaint
against him comes from the Prussian Minister at
War, and that the Report of it was there made in the
Council of State, by G-netal Von Grollmann, who
is universally esteemed for his probity.
This circumstance, that Massenbach's Judges are
partly chosen by himself, should induce a canvittitn
that this affair is not carried on with partiality, but
on the contrary, with• the most satisfactory liberality
quite in the spirit of justice and generosity shewn
the sentimmts of his Majesty the King, which are
unrelirvedly expressed in his Cabinet Order to the
Council of State on this subject, first published in the
_ _

411zimeint Zeitunz.
It is said that the examination into the affair 01
Colonel Mauenbach will be short, and that the resul
Mill be laid, without delay, before the Council of
State, where, after turther deliberation, the final de-

vision will be made, and then laid before the King foe
his approbation. Mr. Martin, the Counsellor of the
Supreme Court of Appeal at Jena, is said to be accep-
ed as Counsel for Calona Massenbach.
Mr. Kotzebue will p'thlish at Jena a literary weekly
journal, in which he will endeavour to give a repre-
sentation of the spirit of our literature, and that of •
' other countries, as far as a single individual is capable ' •
of such an undertaking. •

It will be recollected, that the Russian Captain
Schumann, of Peterstsurgh, who commanded the Rus- •
sian brig Industria, was taken by an Algerine pirate,
and that he afterwards eil'.,cted his liberation. The
particulars of this event are interesting, and deserving
of attention ; we imagiee, therefore, that we shall
merit the thanks of our Readers,, by, communicating
..
Til them, worrUs.nrnsal. . therste. taNcelarations of,
the Captaia, made before M. Von Rail the Russian , -
Consul General in Portugal : •
66 03 the 31 July. when about two leagues from
Cape Finisterre, I nernarked, towards eleven o'clock
in the inrennon, in the Southwest, a brig of war,
ander English colour:, which bore down on me with
full sail. When wi,inin a short distance of the In-
dustri 1, I tea.: ordered to tell from whence I came.
I answered, urine K:ga, and that I sailed under the
Russian flag. I was lammoned under threats to
come en board, which I did without opposition, tak-
ing with me the imp- r, relative to the ship and cargo.
When 1 got ou di.c.k, I found my:elf on baited so •
Algerine privateer, t,i- .:2 8,113.
" I shewcd my papeta to the Commander, who
immediately looked over them, and as he to-and no.
Turkish pass, or fiemon, he asked 'if I had mule i.—
when I answered in the negative, and observed, at •
the same time, that the use of them was not known "
to the Russian ships in the Belt. He. declared my .
ship a good pyre, and me and my crew prisoners of ''
war. Atter this d,claration, he sent me hack in my :t
own boat to the Inilustria, accompanied by eleven .4.•
well-armed Turks, to whom he gave orders to take .
five men from it, and to bring them to the privateer,
1- •
but to retain me, with the five other persons of the' -c ,
A crew, nn board the prize. .
66 After this painful separation, the eleven Turks
who had obtained possess;oo of the Industria s t sail
1 about six o'clock in the evening towards the west. ,4: •
They examined every part of the ship, to plunder
..::
whatever they chose, and to cram themselves with ';-
the best provisions. They then said to us, that the
~ .
3- said privateer had two days before taken two other ~‘•
g- Russian ships, a brig and a galliot from the Belt, ':,
it and destined for Spain, aad sent them to Algiers. • -
P " The same evening they made use of a great .
G deal of abusive langu tge towards us s they burst the •''
is 'hatches with axes,' That they might examine the ..,
t. i cargo, and left them then half open. I was guatded . •
et in the cabin by two men, woo remained with drawn . ‘.
s. sabres at the door, atid they were relieved hourly. '
t)
• 46 By order ot th- Cornmand,:r of the privateer, . i
ip i the p-rson placed at the head of the prize sailed for ,`
, Algiers, and ordered the five Russian sailors to war k,
n, abusing them, and threatening to sabre them in case '
le of disobedience. Relying on the courage of my five ':
sailors, with whom I bad before hand concerted r•
measures for liberating the ship and cargo in ease an .:
, oi:portun ty presented for so doing. I carried this plan
''' I into execution at the risk of my life, on the sth of . .
1 July, ia vu w of the Berlitiguas, is the following man-
is' ~er t—tlin•tit eleven o'clock in the gorenonn, while I ' ...
lg was imhe cabin with the Commander of the prize,
n- t.
where he was employed in pointing a chart which lay **
ti•
before him on the table, he demanded a glass of ' '
es brandy from me, which I ordered a Russian serving
as cabin.boy to bring to him; and while I called him
to do this, I sheaved him at the same time an axe
..d i standing in a corner, and told him he might split the
Sao I Turk's skull from behind his back, when he was busy
h- along with me its looking over the chart. As I turned
an the examination to the entrance of the harbour of ;
of Algiers, the situation of which compelled the Turk
kv, to turn his back more than before to the cabin boy,
io, the latter gave him a blow which stretched him dead
ils at our feet, without tine least sound coming from him.
ed We immediately seized his pistols and iris sabre, , ..,
he with which we first killed the two guards at the up-
s. per door of the cabin, with whose arms we now,
,'
nit supported by the four sailors who were on deck, at. ,
all Exalted the other Turks. ,
ry 66 Atter a struggle of an hour, they all lost their
ch lives, with the exception of one man, who, roaring :
n- out 66 Christians !" sprung into the sea, and was
att drowned. As we tumbled the others into the sea
'ti. who lay stretched out on the deck, one of them, still
n- alive, held fast to a rape, bin a sailor hacked off his
t ; hand, and he disappeared in the waves.
ler 66 The vessel was all over covered with blood, and ''' .
lit. I esteemed myself fortunate, that on an occasion its • •
. which my five sailors were exposed to the danger
ed from which we %ere so providentially saved, the only
he blood which flawed was my own. I was slightly-
to
.wounded on tine head, the right hand, and the left
nt hip. Ot the property of the Turks, we retained, no- .
at thing but their arms, as the dread of a severe qua. .
he rantine induced me to throw their bodies with their
ho clothes into the sea ; from those of the leader I took,
.•
however, four printed certificates of the Consuls of
ire England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, reside
an ing at Algiers, which requerrtd the Comhianders of
u, the ships of war of their nation to allow a free pas.
