LORD EXMOUTH'S EXPEDITION.

Dispatches have.this morning been received from
Lord EIMOUTH, at Gibraltar, brought over by the
JASPER brig, of lOguns. Captain T. CAREW, which
arrived At Plymouth on Monday. His Lordship
reached Gibraltar ton the 6th ultimo, with his
,squadron, all in good order, and the men in high
health and spirits. His Lordship was there joined
by the Dutch squadron, consisting of six frigates and
a loop of war, which were lying in the Bay of Alge.
sires Wa:ting his arrival. On the lith, when• the
JASPER left Gibraltar, his Lordship was about to
proceed on his destined enterprize—the chastisement
of the Barbary Powers, particularly the Algerines.
When joined by the squadron under the cur:ins:lnd
of Admiral Petettoss, which was supposed to be lying
at Malta, the wnole of this respectable force was to
occupy itself in sweeping every corsair from the
Mediterranean. They are to Chace them into their
harbours, to follow them into their hiding places,
and, if necessary, to lay their ports in ashes. The
DEY of ALGIERS, in particular, is to be the object of
exemplary punishment, and, indeed it is high time
that all power to work mischief should be taken
away from this Regency. The Grand Seignior, his
nominal master, but whose authority he treats with
as much contempt as he does the other European
Powers, accedes cordially in the object of the Ex-
pedition. In this there is sound policy. He can
have no desire to invite a quarrel with Russia,
which would certainly be the consequence of any
interference on his part to protect tt►e pirates of
the Mediterranean.

The private accounts are at variance in their state-
ments respecting this expedition. The letters from
Plymouth state his Lordship to have arrived at Gi-
braltar on the 16th ult. but this is evidently a mistake
for the 6th. A letter cl;rect Iron; Gibraltar of the
Ic2th ult. ex eases some doubt of the Dutch squa.
