THE MEDITERRANEAN PIRATES.

It now appears that the career of these marauders
is drawing fast to a close. The Bev of Tunis and
other Turkish Chiefs bad made peace with Lord
Exatouvu on behalf of most of the European Powers.
it is true. but without consulting the Turkish soldiers,
who have been thereby deprived or the means of en.
riching themselves. They have therefore disputed
the bargain. deposed the BEY of Tunis, and set out on
an independent piratical cruise. We presunle that
an armament will be immediately fitted out to demo-
lish the whole of the Turkish forts on the Nerthern
Coast of Africa. and expel the last remains of these
unprincipled invaders.
The following are the documents which have
reached us on this subject:

EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM CAPTAIN lIVAIPHREYS, OF

THE SHIP HARMONY* DATED BARCELONA* JUNE S.

" by last post I wrote you to say we were stopped,
on a supposition that we were going to have war with
the Powers of Barbary. I am happy to ink rm you
that our Consul here received a letter yestetday from
the Consul of Alicant, to sty that a vessel had arrived
there with wheat from Oran, bringing letters and ad-
vice: that the Consul and the two vessels w.,re liberated,
all settled, and navigation free and safe. I shail sail
this evening or to•marrow morning for Saloe."

CCPY OF A LETTER ?EOM R. OGLANEER, ESQ. CONSUL•

GENIMAL AT TUNIS.

" Six—Since your deputise, we a ave experienced another
alarm in consequence of the revolt of the Turkish soldiery, in 1
the pay and,service of this Regency. Their first object, it ap-
pears, was to effect a change in the Government—or rather to
destroy It altogether, as It is at pryeent estab3shed ;—with this
view they endeavoured to seize the Bey and his eldest son, for
the purpose of killing them. At the sante time they offered to
elect the Bey's brother as the Bey, or chief person in the Govern-
ment, and the youilger son as General of the Camp.
" It is understood, that this proposal was made merely to ob-
tain possession of their personr also, as the 'lurks had resolved,
after a few days, to destroy them ; ant thew sleet among them-
selves a Bey, as in Algiers, front their own body. In this object
they totally failed, the Bey's family among themselves having
agreed, and rejected the offers made to them. A part of the
Turks then put in execution their second plan, that of setting the
Goletta and the Corsairs then In the roads, ready ter sea; here
success completely attended their undertaking; and having, en the
sd inst. attacked and entered (at night) the Colette, they kept it

it is conceived, for some part of the Levaat, with a fide wind for
that quarter. It is said here, that bad It not been fer the unex-
pected arrival of the Euphrates frigate, which greatly alarmed the
'Forks, they would certainly, before their departdre, have de-

they announced to be their intention. I Dope the people on

COPY OP A LETTER PROM GENOA, DATED Ern OP JUNE,

AND RECEIVED AT LLOYD'S:

Silt--Me avail ourselves of an estafette going to
Turin, to transmit the following interesting intelli-
gence, which arrived here this morning, viz. Copy
of a fetter from RICHARD OGLANDER, Esq. Consul
Central at Tunii, without date, (which we think
must be 4th ultimo) to Rear Admiral Sir C. V. PER-
I Ross, at Malta. We have further to add, that by a
'vessel just come from Sosson, in Sardinia, Mr. W. R
BROWN, British Vice-Consul in this place, received a
dispatch from the Vice-Consul of the above town,
dated 28th ultimo, stating, that he had received news
from Algiers, on the same day, that a great number
of Coral fishing boats had arrived there, which had
succeeded to escape from Bona, where it seems that,
on the 28d ultimo, a body of about 4000 of the
Turkish soldiery had revolted; had fallen upon all
the Christians on shore, whom they cut down ; and it
is said that they did not, in their fury, spare even the
Vice-Consuls of the European nations. The substance
of this news is confirmed by a dispatch from the
French Consul at Leghorn, who received the deposi.

41011 of the fugitives of this nation from Bans, I
sad transmitted it to the French Consul in this place.

crews of the Coral fishing boats, wider English and
French colours, had landed that morn.rig to go to
Church, when all of a sudien a great, numher of
armed Turks and Bedoui•is ert•:r.c the Cliarch, and
began to kill and slaughter all fly:se that were not
Dicky enough to effect their escape on board. It is
said that the Governor endeavoured to oppose with
his force what resistance he could, and that Mr. Es-
CAW, in endeavouring to appease the furious
bands, was mortally wounded—the number of vie-
doss that have been cut off is not yet known.

" A boat arrived here on the 2.1 instant with the
crew of a French Tartan, which wits captured by,
the pirates nn the 16th ultimo, neAr CA pe Dany.n, off
the Itmnan shore, after a resistance of ahnitt half an

- In the House of Conintoos, last night. Mr. WIL•
neat; ont:a moved for certain papers respectingthe state
of the Slave Trade. Tile Object cf this advocate for
ameliorating the condition of the Slaves is to introduce
a Registry Bill, for the purpose of destroying the illi-
cit importation of these unhappy persons into our
colonies. It was contended, by the opposers of the
measure, that the interference of Parliament was cal-
culated to arouse improperly the feelings of the Ne-
groes, who were impressed with the ide.t that this Bill
was one of emancipatmn ; and that it had produced
the insurrections so destructive in Bat badoes. It was
proposed to leave the subject entirely at the disposal
of the Colonial Legislatures. An Address to this
effect to the Punic% REGENT was propo.ed, as an
amendment, and agreed to unanimously, Mr. Wit.-
=omen having withdrawn his motion, to make
room for it. After which Mr: Witseeroace's motion
for Papers was agreed to.
It is understood that an Absentee Tax has been in

from £lOO and upwards, similar to the Tables of
Stamp Duties, and with a tax set against the itemt ;
so that when the persons apply at the proper cfiice for
the necessai y passports, they will on oath declare that
their in:oine is under a cet taut amount, and %s i!1 be
then required 'to pay a tax according to cola cells im-
porting the length of time which they design to dwell
in foreigns parts.
A considerable alarm prevailed at Liverpool last,
week, in consequence of certain tradesmen having
announced a determination, on the;r parts, to take
" no silver coinage, except Back Tokens, and the
genuine coin of the Mint." The admit, however,
interposed his authority, by summoning- this junta to
attend him, when it was understood ilea all shillings
should pass, of Mint silver, although the impressions
were defaced.. The poor, who had been the sufferers
by the above determination, were therefore appeased.
