The Archipelago is infested with numerous pirates,
who inhabit the Morea ; they are the direct descen.
dant: of the ancient Spartans, and are joined in their
predatory-.excursions by a few Albanians. They
plunder indiscriminately all they meet with, and he.
quently land and rob the various islands of the Archi.
pelago. The Revnana, Captain Sr. CLAIR, was '
cruiziag against them for some time. She captured
three epen prows, and sent them to Malta for con.
demnation. Whilst the REYNARD was at Atheis,
her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES arrived
there from Malta, on her way to Constantinople. She
afterwards intended to prdceed to Egypt.
Accounts received on Saturday from Nottinehom
state, that although frame-brattish% has erased fir
the moment, there is yet great discontent. The wail.
men and their families are going in groupes daisy into
the workhouses for want of employment. The nu•
nufacturers refuse to assist their wants as they for.
merly did, because of their late misconduct in break-
as machinery.
A sudden check to the circulation of the deterio.
rated coin produced on Monday (17th ult.) consider.
able alarm among the lower class of people in Car.
marthen, •and most of the inhabitants appeared to
participate in that feeling. The Mayor, and the other
Magistrates of the Borough, set on foot a sutrctip•
tion for the purpose of relieving the poor from the
embarrassment to which a want of change must have
reduced them, and on Tuesday and Wednesday about
te2oo were given in exchange for the plain shillings
and sixpences brought in for that purpose.
A deputation of Merchants in the Quebec trek
had an interview with Lord MELVILLE' and the other
Members of the Board of Admiralty, at two o'clock
on Saturday. They represented to the Board, that
in consequence of the seamen belonging to the mete
chant vessels arrived out at Quebec having been of.
feted 90s. per month to serve in his Majesty's ships
on Lakes Erie and Ontario, whilst they received only
555. per month in the merchants' service, the whole
of the crews had left their employ and joined she
navy. No seamen could be had in North America
to supply their place; and the result was, that the
ships were detained at Quebec, to the great loss of
the owners of the vessels and cargoes. Under these
circumstances, the deputation were desirous to learn
what steps Government were disposed to take in °Yet r
to relieve them ? Lord MELVILLE expressed gnat
concern at the inconvenience the trade to North
, America had experienced by the circumstance men
tinned : but his Lordship reminded the Centime.
that it had invariably been the custom during pew
to obtain men for his Majesty's ships of war in the
Colonies by means of the merchant service. With
respect to the wages given, at the rate of 9nr•
per months, his Lordship was totally at a loss to
explain, as only 4.55. per month were allowed by
Government. If any advance was made beyoed
that %um, it must have been done by way of bounty.
It was inquired, of his Lordship why the men in time
of peace, for the service of the navy generally, could
not be procured at home instead of the colonies, by
which system the trade to all quarters would be less
incommoded ? To this his L .rdship replied, that the
thing was impracticable. Very few hands were re•
quired at home at the present moment, but even thee
could not be procured by the custom of volunteering.
The Gentlemen next intimated a wish to learn front
his Lordship to what extent the Government wanted
hands, and for what purpose they were to be r:
played ? but these questions his Lordship decliad
answering : be, however, assured the deputation,
no time should be lost in writing out to the prort
officers to allow all the accommodation to tb,el
power to the merchant vessels ; and pronsised, a.t
same time, that Government would as speeds 11,.."
possible send out a transport, with men, to supply
deficiency of hands in North America.
