EXPEDITION ACAINST ALGIERS;

• , .
The,wind having got to the eastward, at an early
hour on the morning of yesterday (Sunday), Lord
EXMOUTH made signal for the fleet at Portsmouth to
get under weigh. Had not the wind blown so vio-
lently adverse for some days, his
_Lordship Would
nave cAeared the Channel ere this—but it was not
until
.Saturday. his Lordship's hopes of sailing had
any prospect of being realised, and we fear that they
have been again disappointed, as in the course of yes-
terday the wind again changed to the southward.—
His Lurdship embarked on Saturday at noon, in.
tending to proceed to St. Helen's with the following
:—QUEEN CHARLOTTE. MINDEN, ALBION, 13ar-
ToMA KT, COIIDELIA, INFERNAL, FUItY, and Heel.*;
the ALBION and HECLA only joined his Lordship on
Friday night, from the River. The Smarr and
Gaa..stiow are hourly expected to join. Rear-Admi-
ral Mu.az, who hoisted' his flag on Wednesday, in
the LEANDER, 50, Captain Cayman, sailed on Sa-
turday, for Plymouth, for the purpose of shifting into
the IMPREGNABLE, and getting ready to join Lord
Eastman, with the ships at that port, on his arrival
off there. The following ships (which have been in
every respect suitably fitted for this particular service,
and under a knowledge of the variety and magni-
tude of the means the enemy can employ in defence)
compose his Lordship's fleet:

It is also expected that the Dutch squadron, under
Vice-Admiral CAPELLEN, and a Neapolitan squadron,
will co-operate with our fleet. But, independently
of these aids, the British force will consiq of five sail
of the line, eight heavy frigates, eight sloops, and
four bombs—Total, 25 sail. The ships will all ten-
dezvous at Gibraltar.

A company of Royal Sappers and Miners. under
Major Guam= and Captain REID, embarked on Fri-
day on board the Qum; CHARLOTTY and MIXDX.Y.

We mentioned, on Saturday, that Captain J. K.
Worm of the PERUVIAN sloop of war, had arrived
in town, with dispatches from St. Helena. The Cap-
tain brought dispatches to the Secretary of State's
Office kir the Colonial Department, and the Admi.
ralty. Earl BATHURST not being in London, the
Captain proceeded to the Noble Earl, at his country
house at Putney. The contents of the dispatches
were considered of so much importarce, that men-
tars were sent round to all the Cabinet Ministers with
the contents. The PERUVIAN sailed from St. Helena
on the 6th of last month. BONAPARTE was in good
health ; —but, as a party of Dragoons had been
brought from the Cape for guard duty, and they at-
tended him in his exercises abroad, his sulkinesi and
discontent had greatly increased. Sir PULTNEY MAL-
coum had not arrived out. The NORTHUMBERLAND
and lloceenacus were at St. Helena ; the Poteroe
had gone to the Cape; the ZEPHYR to relieve the
&woos, at Ascension ; the Mosourro to relieve the
ICARUS, at the Isle of France ; the LEVERET was
crifizing.
DatoNa AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.•-• 011 the mor-
ning of the 11th inst. the warehouse of Messrs.
Royds and Brocksbank, woollen-drapers, in Bucklers-
bury, was robbed of broad cloth to the amount of
,C7Off. The premises, in which no one sleeps, were
entered by a false key—they extend backwards to
Budge-row, where there are gates, to which carts are
brought to load and unload. The robbers, amoun-
ting to four, came out of these gates, where a hired
cart drove up and was loaded with the cloth, soon
after six o'clock in the morning. This transaction
was observed by a neighbour who passed the men ;
one of them acting as clerk, with a book in his hand,
and appeared to be marking off the number of
pieces, a practice common in that business ; and not
being acquainted with the persons employed by
Messrs. Royds and Brocksbank, the neighbour
made but a slight.observation on the persons of the
men ; but when he heard of the robbery, he gave a
description of their persons nearly as fie could recol-
lect ; and in consequence of that representation at
the Office, J. Hunt was., apprehended; and under-
went an examination on Friday ; but the neighbour
could only say, he believed him to be one of the men.
The offence, however, having been committed in the
City, he was sent to be examined before the LORD
MAYOR, which took place on Saturday ; when there
being no other evidence, he was discharged. A cu.
rim circumstance took place while Hunt was at the
bar : a well known character, named Marsh, who
was suspected to be one of the robbers, was placed at
the bar, charged on suspicion of uttering a forged
at note to an ironmonger. The note, however, on
investigation at the Bank, proved to be good ;—and
as the above neighbour could not identify hint, he
was also discharged. The carman who drove the
cart which contained the cloth was traced to the
neighbourhood of Bethnal Green, and has been
taken into custody, but he denies all knowledge of
the robbers. He says he was met by a covered cart
into which the cloth was, put. His account, how-
ever, is not believed, as he did not report to his master
that job, nor account to ttim for any money be bad
received fur it. The same premises were broke open
about two month since.
