ing, Mr. KaAN, the Actor, evinced his pugilistic skill
with some stray opponents who assailed him in the
streets of Glasgow. He had been entertaining Mr.

Glasgow Company at a super. The patrole did not
seize the combatants; and Mr. KEAN was conducted

A letter from an Officer in Lord Exsiotmes fleet,
dated the 28th nitimo. states, that it was intended the
fleet should not leave the station until the Porte had
acknowledged our sovereignty over the lonian Islands,
but this and some other negociations that were on the
Lapis, it was expected, would not detain the ships
longer than the first week in April. The following
letter elucidates the contents of the above :
" GENOA, Arum 13.—0 n the 11th instant we sent

a few hasty lines to acquaint you of the arrivill in this
port of his Majesty's ship Calypso, Captain Sisson,
from Algiers, with 51 Genoese and Sardinian sub-
jects, ransomed from slavery by Lord Exmouth. It
seems that his Lordship demanded of the Dey the
delivery of the above slaves, who were granted
to his Lordship on his promise to pay five hundred
hard dollars for each slave but a • subsequent
Treaty of Peace was concluded on the sth instant,
between his Sardinian Majesty and the Dty of
Algiers, through the Isicdiation of Lord Exmouth,
in which it is agreed that no trilwic is to k/iaid, and
that the subjects of Sardinian Majesty are to en-
joy the same privileges as the British and French in
that Regency. His Lordship intended to sail on the
6tb for Tunis, and afterwards for Tripoli, in all pi 0.1
bability for the same object. It is reported that all
the subjects of the Seven Islands that were in slavery
. at Algiers were delivered up without ransom, being
uncle: the British protection?".

P. II( ;CNT to intei fete in the behalf of the Protestants
of Fr.tnce, his Royal Highness was pleased to return
the following most gracious answer:
't he just cruse entertained by bls Majesty's subjects of the
value and importance of religious toleration, is necessarily caku•
lated to excite in their minds strong feelings of uneasiness and
rear, t at any appearance of the want of it in other nations of the
world,

" In such feelings, when called for and justified by the occa-
sion, I shall ever participate • and whilst I lament the circum-
stances winch led to your Address, I derive great satisfaction
from the persuasion that they are in no degree to be attributed to
an indisposition on the part of the Government of France to af-
ford to the freedom of religious worship the benefit of its pro-
mined protection and support."

To the Address of CongratnlaCon on. the Peace,
his Royal Highness was graciously pleased to return
the tollowino. answer :
