CONVANTINOPLE, Dec.3l.
,- -Since the measures taken by the Ambassadors of
England and rrance, dating their stay at Vourla, have
inoWn here, Affairs have again taken an uneasy
aspect. *An idea had been indulged that these Minis.
tens remained at Vourla to await the rilterfor instruc-
tions of their Courts ; and as the Reis Effendi, although
always protesting against every species of interference,
I had made new overtures to the Sardinian Ambassador,
in order to their being conveyed to the knowledge of
'the thine Alfied Courts, a hope was entertained that
new negotiations would be opened ; but the declaration
'published by Count Guellerninot and Mr. S. Canning
in Smyrna, appear to have destroyed •this expectation.
'The propositions of the Reis Effendi, it is said, were,
.4 That the Lies and Continent of Greecisbould be go-
*vetoed by GYeeks ; but that the nation should be tribu-
tary, and the fortresses remain in the power of the
Turks." h may be allowed, that although this conces.
iioo-diescnot mutely agree with the Convention of the

negotiations. It has ea= appeared so surpris•

prizes. The merchants-and underwriters have to bear,
these losses ; tte rate of insurance has risen, which ins-
poses an additional burden on Commerce. The ships'

lied to keep at a distance, leave the sea free for the Al-
gerines, and we are apprehensive more ot our vessels
mil be taken. In the mean time, every body agrees in
the following opinions:
I• - ....- -
'l, It ii.saidthat the blockade is badly condticted;ind
the trifling blockade making the Dey doubtful of the
power of France, encourages him to be proud, and prit
'vents him-from making offers of peace, If there is reason
to complain of the Dee, a greater force should be sent
against hid), and an attack mark like that of Duquesne
or Lerd-Exasouth.• But had we any sufficient reason for
'undertaking a work, of Which all the chances were
against us, and by which•we can gain nothing? The
most precise information attributes the quarrel to an al.
tercation the Dey had with the French Consul, M. Derail,
irr consequence of which the Dey struck him with his
fan. M. Deval has made,' it is said,' an exaggerated
report on this subjtct to his Government, and the Mi.
.nisters,., wishing to prose that France knew how to
make herself respected in foreign Courts, resolved to
make war on-Algiers. The deClaratinn was accordingly
made without-any inquiries as to the character of M
Deval, or .whether he had•not provoked the Dey by his.
pride, 'and compromised his Government by his impru-
dence.' Information on these points might have been I
obtained ; and all the European Consuls blame 'M.
Deval; but we have now some information as to
the secret causes of
.the hatred of the Dey for that
Gentleman. 'The Dey was a creditor hf Jacob Bacri,
and required that he should make over to him the sum
Bieri had received from the French-Government The
payment being delayed, the Dey supposed that Bacri
had received his money at Payiseaiid• Oiliest' to Cheat
him. Bacri, howsier, protested' that 'the delay' was.
caused by the oppoiition of the Treasury. The Dey at
length lost his patience, imprisoned Bacri, and seized
his papers, among which were found several letters writ-
ten to Bari hi' hi 4 sent at-Paris.' From these letters it
appeared that the agent'saw he. could'not procure the
payment but by'tbe assistance of a Great Personage.
who•demaaded 12 per cent. for his assistance. Bacri
believed this statement, and gave the agent the 12 per
cent. for the Weat Personage, and S per cent. for his,
trouble. - In' tonsegdente Of 'this; the agent demand .
