In confequence of an anonymous letter having
been fent to the Lords of the Admiralty, com•
plaining of the crew being ill treated by Captain
Arita, of la VIRGINIt frigate, a Court of En-
quiry was lately ordered to examine into the

letter was an unfounded (lender ; and that neither
Capt. Arms, nor any of his Officers had furniffied
the (mailer' pretext for the charge. This (hews how
little reliance can be placed on anonymous infor-
mation of any kind, efpecially when direifted againa
the chara.fler of meritorious individuals.

Letters received from Genoa, dated Feb. es,
lay. " If we may believe the reports in circula-
lation, Tome new fubjea of mifanderfiandiug has
exifen between France and the 141111c7 of Aiken
—lt is Paid, that a Gip of ?darreslies, difpetched
to Algiers for a cargo of grain, has been obliged
to depart without obtaining it, and arrived in five
days at Toulon, with a letter delivered to the Cap-
tain by the French Commiffary at Algiers. it is
added. that the Dey has intimated to the Corn-
miffary in.order to quit that reidence, but he re-
fufed to do fo without the authority of his Govern-

dation than the flight difference which took place
