ALGIERS.

There are no fresh accounts this day through any
channel of the reported massacre fat Algiers ; but
tf.e very circumstance of no contradiction having ar•
lived excites as uncommon degree of apprehension.
it would by no means surprise us to find the intelli-
gPnce true ; for kis well known that the late chat-
-nt inflicted by our Men of War has excited a

ig thirst for revenge—and it is equally well known
that the Algerines ascribe the destruction with which
• were then overtaken to an error in their own cal-
l. They expected that some time would be coe-
byour ships in furling the sails, not anticipating
ility of their all being furled by ropes passed
I, and through pullies, by which they were
to the yards in an instant. Ina word, what
expected to be the second or third motion was,,
to them, the first—their manned boats were as.
in a m,ment by a shower of round and grape
' the ships, and the greater part of them were
blown to atoms, in the twinkling of an
They retained the fire of their batteries
our ship; should, as they expected, fall into
snare prepared for them, and be carried by
tg before they were ready for action ; but they
since boasted that no second visit that may be
them will have a' similar result, and this is
opinion of even our own Officers. In their
to be revenged it is, therefore, not impos-
that they may have perpetrated the massacre
has been reported ; and if so they must be at.
in another manner. Indeed should the fact
we bold it indispensible that the pre-
tf►ants should be ensirely expelled, and the
as we formerly recommended, be taken under
. protection. Nothing short of the entire ex-
of the predatory ruffian race who have
the Sovereignty of the coast, will put an end
savage warfare against Europeans which these
-s have so long cattied ou.

Letttrs have been received frnm Bahia, of so re-
cent a date as the 17th April, from which the fol-
-lowint ate extracts :

" N doubt you have heard ere this of the Revo-
lution in this country, which broke out at Pernam-
buco on the 6th of March. It spread down the
coast, to within about forty leagues of Bahia.
—We are all very quiet in Bahia, nor have we the
least apprehension of its reaching this. In fact, it is
now quite quelled along the coast, and confined to
the limits of Pernambuco, where there is little doubt
of its being soon put a stop to. Our Governor has
been very active. an.d has sent three ships of war,
with a number troops, to blockade the harbour. Pro-
visions ate very scarce at Pernambuco, and it is pro-
bable the insurgents will be forced to yield on this
account alone. Business is of course at a stand ;
but, according to the latest accounts, private property
has been respected."

HASTINGS. AUGUST 26.

The influx of company here has increased most
considerably during the lay week, notwithstanding
the b ,isterous weather, whi h has been so generally
alent al.ing the coast t but has 'caused little da
triage here, although it has chea fully scared some of
our fresh-water visitors. On Sunday morning, a
cutter, the Arpe, of Windmilthill, Captain LOCK,
h4vit.y. been upon a tr:p to Boulligne, and being un-
able to keep the sea, was swamped, a wave having
taken tier broadside in atternpting to reach the beach
during a most severe gale. The vessel was turned
completely keel upwards, and the whole crew immer-
sed ; but being luckily near in shove, they all escaped
with only the loss of their empty kegs, and the small
boat la►hed to the cutter, which was by the force of
the sea broken from it, and instantly foundered. A
singular character, JOHN Hopson, by trade a boat-
builder, has attracted great notice by secluding him•
self and living entirely in a cave, which he has cut
out of the West Rock, in imitation of Robitwon Crum.
He has been crossed in the tender practise by a fair
damsel, JANI PHILLIP., of this place. lie refuses all
intercourse, and subsists chiefly on vegetables. He
is perfectly harmless, and will occasionally discourse
with his visitors, who are very numerous, upon reli-
gious subjects. Some of the wandering Egyttrume, of
whom there are many in the environs, have however
relieved him from the cares of his bed, by stealing
that and all the furniture from his cave. Among
our most prominent iashionables are—
Count &dwell, Lady Graham and daughters, Colonel and
Mrs. Norris, Sir Thomas Fletcher and cis brother, Captain
T hiney, Mr. Yorke, Wises. Chapman, Mr. E. Burke, Bic.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

We have received Charlestown Papers to the 20th.
and New.Yorb to the 27th ult. from which the fol-
lowing are extracts :

NEW-YORK, JULY 24.
We have seen several letters from St. Mary's and
Amelia Islands, receive d by yesterday's Mail, which
confirm the verbal accounts received here a few
days since, from the same quarter, that the prospects
of the Patriots were by no means so Battering as
wire first rept eented. Had M'Gregor pushed for
St. Augustine immediately on his landing at Amelia,
while the Spaniards were pAnic.struck and flying be-
fore him, he might perhaps have gained possession
of that fortress t but he his lost that opportunity by
' delay. His followers are becoming dissatisfied, while
the inhabitants of Florida are taking the alarm at
the misconduct of his outposts, and the Planters are
petitioniog the Officers of the American Government
on the frontier, for permission to bring their negroes
into our territory for safety.
IrtTRACT OF ♦ LETTER. DATED 11112WANDINA, JULY 12.
is I cannot form any opinion as to the future ope.
rations of the Patriots: they are at present limited to
the Island. I fear they will fail in their laudable
scheme. They have no force. Every thing favoured
their occupation and march to St. Augustine. The
Dons were panic-struck. There is at present a rest-
leuness among the people under their flag. Some
outtages have been committed by their out-parties.
There was a sale here to-day of thirty-one slaves,
seized four days ago: they were seized, tried, con.
demned. and sold in that time. These proceedings
injured the cause, and should they not receive large
reinforcements, I fear they will have to abandon the
place.. The esti:sequences of such an event are much.
to be dreaded."

BRIDGE ACROSS THE SIPWLE.

The erection of a Brit ye over the Swale which di-
vides the I.k of Sheppy (tom the main land of Kent.
has long been a most desirable object, both on ac-
count of the essential utility of such a communica-
tion to the public establishments at SHIKRNFAS. now
likely to become one of the most valoahle ot ill our
Naval Devi.. and of its convenience to the '
tants ot the Lland and Caunty at large. On the
20th instant a Meeting of the principal Prop.ietors
and Inhabilaois •.1 the Island was held at Sheerness,
JAULS CHALK Esq. in the Chair, to take a aroposal
,n the subject int considerati,m, when it was unani-
m usly resolved to open a Subscription for the erec-
tion of a Bridge and Causeway at or near
Ferry, which in the opinion of the Meeting is the
most proper place for unit'ng the island to the maio
land ; and to bring a Bill into Parliament for thl nor-
' pose as soon as a sufficient sum shall be subscribed
to justify a reasonable eitpectation that the proposed
endertaking will be ultimately carried into elect.
'the miaow of the Chairman, Mr. Cu sae, in for-
warding this important object, which have been in a
singular degree, cealous, able, and pers•!vcriiig, and
pursued with much public spirit through many op-
posing obstacles, received a well merited minute of
thanks from the Meeting. The expense, As estimated,
will be 020,000, and the shares by which it is pro-
posed to raise this sum are of 4150 each. A great
many shares, have, we understand, been already
taken, sad Qovernmem have liberally contriblited to
'the materials necessary for the Work, by a grant of
the Fly Bridge at Chatham and five mooring lighters,
Mr. RANNIE, so eminent for his skill in this .aratieh
of art. is employed as Engineer, and Mr. flosatsoit,
of Sheerness, who to a perfect knowledge ot the
local interests affecting the measure, adds a degree
of active ability every way calculated to ensure its
success, has been appointed Solicitor.

NEW YORK, JULY 25.

In addition to the news given in yesterday's Ga.'
tette, we learn, by the Ellen Tooker, from the Gulf
of Mexico, that the Patriot General Tetrand, with
about 2000 men, bad gone over to the Royaliits,
having previously been assured of the King's pardon;
that General Guadaloupe, with about 300 men, was
within 100 miles of La Vera Cruz, hemmed in by
.the Royalists ; that General Mina's head-quarters.
were at Santa Masine, which place he had fortified,
and left a garrison of about 80 men, and proceeded
against St. Lewis Petosa. His communication on the
sea coast was cut off by the Royalists. An army of
about 5000 men was marching against him from La

PERNAMBUCO-MARTINEZ.

The Joirsal Gassral of Paris gives the following
Anecdote concerning the trial of Martinez, the leader
o. the Pernambuccan Insurrection, from a private
letter which it states to have been received from Rio
Janeiro :

" Martinez has undergone repeated interrogations.
At one of the examinations to which he was subjected
the President d •sanded of him, from what motive
he had arrogated to himself the title of Prince of Li-
&►ty ? when Martinez answered, 4 I exacted nothing
from the people ; they wish to be free and they will
be so. I could not permit myself an inconsistency
equal to that by which you unite the word of Prince
with that of Liberty. If my pretended friends of
Rio and Bahia had kept their word as I have kept
mine, yen, Gentlemen of the Commission, would have
been acting before me, the part which has now fallen
to my lot. You ask for my accomplices ;—examine,
look among yourselves, and perhaps man? of my
judges will quit their seats to place themselves at the
bar of •.he accused.' "

Monday a very respectable and numerous Meeting
of the County of Berks took place in the Town-Hall,
Reading, Munition PowLitre WRIGHTE BItNYoN, Esq.
High Sheriff, in the Chair.
A loy tl, affectimutte, and grateful Address to the
.PRINCE Re:DENT was moved by Sit NATHANIEL Du-
seconded by Sir Monis Kisumu To
this a unverial ascent, WAS given. 13. it an addition,
•dtprecating the prnjected suspeosiomr of the Hate,
Corpus Act, was moved by Mr. Hacurr, and se-
con,cd by 1.4 r. rys,die Patsmen. It was strongly
opvserf, no the ground that, it was impossiblethat
tie Ivlnc;ing shooll be in possession of all the facts,
‘ugecsted the necessity of the measure to his
Majesty's Ministers ;—and because the Meeting was
convoked exclusively 44 to congratulate his Royal
Highi;ess the nitwit REGENT on his escape from the
late atrocious outrage."
Before the queition was called, it was observed
by some Gentlemen, that several persons appeared
in the Hall, ready to take a part in the decision, who
were not Freeholders. To this it was answered,
that, on former occasions, 'oho:sit:nits had usually
voted. But the words of the Requisition were=
" To the Nobility, Gentry, and Freeholders of the
County ;" and it appeared to be the satse of the
Meeting, that others should be excluded. A Gen-
tleman claimed his right of voting, as he had the
honour of wearing the King's commission, and was
therefore designated by the word " Gentry." This
claim was overt tried, as he was not a Freeholder!'
A division took place among Freeholders only,
when the majority appeased to be in favour of the
addition, which was accordingly inserted and the
Address was signed by the HIGH SHENIFI's who was
• requested to present it to the PRINCE REGENT, at-
tended by the Members for tf,e County.
The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously
voted to Mr. BENTON, for his able, impartial, and
engaging conduct in the Chair.'

the vessel and cargo.

MADAM, AUGUST S.

Letters from the Havanna!), dated the 4th of May,
announce that the last news received from Mexico
are extremely favourable. The Insurgents present
themselves in crowds to take the benefit of the par.
don offered by his Majesty's Viceroy Apodaca. •No.
body doubts but that the insurrection will be entirely
'extinguished in New Spain in the course of the pre-
sent year.
The expedition to Buenos Ayres, which is prepay.
ing at Cadiz, is to be completed by draughts from
the rear of the army. The plan of finances arranged
by Garay inspires every body with the hope of seeing
a termination put to the disorders which cast in this
department of the public administration. ft appears
certain that Canga Arguelles, one of the most dia.
Itinguished orators of the Cortes at Cadiz, who was
exiled to Pensicola, has been set at liberty, and that
he has been invested with one of the chief offices in
Valencia, with a salary of 40,0(X) real, (10,000
francs). This is the present maximum, of salaries in
Spain. In appointing him in this office, the object
has been to procure the co-operation of his knowledge
and eapertence in carrying into execution the plan of
Garay, to whom his recal is probably to be attributed.
It is hoped that this will not be the only instance of
the kind, aftd that the Government will employ use-
ful
men wherever they are found. The liberation
the liberales, Quintana and Garcia Hereto% is already
confidently spoken of.
Independently cd the bolls relative to the seculari.
za Linn of the monks, of which we have already spoken,
it is said that Government has received others int
operating a considerable reform in all classes of the
Clergy, who do not proceed with zeal in paying the
new contribution assessed upon them in virtue of the
deciree of the 30th of May last.

PRIVATE LETTER.

• " FARM AUGUST 16.
" An important resolotion is said to have been
adopted by his Maesty is XVIII. at one of the
Councils held during the last week. The Gendar-
mery is no longer under the Administration of the
War Department, but annexed to the Civil. This
is one of those measures which cannot fail contri-
buting to the tranquillity of the country. The Ultra,
enjoy no personal consideration at Paris ; they have
not even ventured to propose as Candidate for the
approaching Elections.
" The Journals announce, that indisposition pre-
vented the Duc de Feltre from attending the Council
of Ministers. It is currently reported this morning,
that by an Ordinance of his Majesty, signed on the
14th, Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr is to unite and hold,
for the present, the War and Marine Department.
" The conditions of the new Concordat are but
vaguely known. It is again asserted that the Pope
has dissolved the marriage between Napoleon and
Maria Louisa, and that their scn is to be created
' Archbishop Primate of Ratisbonne, and Arch-Chan-
cellor of the Getman Empire, as soon as he shall
have attained the age requisite to fulfil the functions,
attached to these dignities, and have received the
sacred orders."

ADAM IN THE MATTER Or WILSON.

The petitioner had been in the practice of giving
iron to Wilson and Shand, and to receive their ac-
ceptance at six months if the iron were sold, if not,
at a longer period. When the partnership of Wilson
and Siiand was dissolved, by the withdrawing of
Wilson, they had received iron, which was unpaid,
to the amount of ag34100. Shand gave
.his accept-
ance. and Wilson his letter, whether of gu4rantre or
of continued liability, was dispnted.
Mr. MONTAGUE argued, that the debt was most
clearly established, and the liability of 'Wilson was
equally clear.
Sir SAMUEL !WALLY and Mr. BELL contended,
that it was perfectly clear that either Wilson had ne-
ver been liable or be h.ld be released.

The Lotto CHANCELLOR said, that both parties
thought this case suite clear t he therefore inferred,
that it was a very difficult case. He would take the
affidavits and run his eye ova them, and give judg.
nitnt another day.

WILLIAMS IS MATTER OF SHARP AND SOL

The petition prayed to expunge the proof of
debt as against VAle alder ZliCi to prove against
the joint 'estate. The debt was 5e5,700.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY and Mr. Tamove main-
tained that the son was as much concerned in the pur-
chase, and in such payments as had been made, as
his father, and that he was therefore liable for the
debt, although the conveyance and the mortgage._
which was taken for part of the price—were made
only in the name of the father by his own solicitor. '
Mr. BEE. and Mr. MONTAGUE argued, that the
whole question was, whether a debt which appeared
to be against one partner down to the time of the
bankruptcy, could then be transferred to the partner-1
ship, and constituted a joint debt ? It was manifest
that he could not at law claim as against the joint
estate: his Lordship would not, therefore, allow the
claim in equity.
The Loki) CHANCELLOR thought the case much
more difficult than had been represented. The ori.l
ginal engagement, undeniably with the partners, and
the deeds an the name of the father only, drawn by
his solicitor, but perused by the petitioner's solicitor,
I appeared inexplicable without affidavits from the se-
licitors. Let the case stand over till the first day of
Inext tram, to see if any affidavits shall be made in
the mean time.

Mr. Bata. stated, tbst Daniel Sharp, their attor-
ney, was'now the proprietor of the house. and that
was the cause there was no affidavit from him.

By the Act of 17 Gee. 11. there is a reward allowed
if Its. on the apprehension of every vagrant or men.
dicant. Sense Constables have recently turned this
Act to an immense source of profit, by apprehending
and committing as many as 100 in a week. As the
numbers nevertheless increased, instead of diminished,
the Magistrates at length disc.,vered the cause of the
evil, and reprobated the pract;ce in the severest terms.

falling on the horses' quaiters, they set off at speed,

Porn, with as much baste as possible, opened the
carriage door, and jumping out; was followed by
Mrs. Yvon. Though the coachman's leg was much
braised, as were also the leg and foot of Mr. PUGH,
so as to occasion lameness, we rejoice to state no
bones were broken, and that Mrs. Peon was but
slightly bruised in this trial of peril. The horses were
soon afterwards stopped, but the carriage was ten-
dered osekss, being torn nearly to pieces.

IMPORTANV INFORMATION.

FLuxury and Dissipation the mind becomes
1' enervated, and the body soon falls an easy victim. To re-
move the Disorders arising from la.hionahk gaieties and to restore
the debilitated constitution is the result of our study and experi-
ence, and we trust that thirty years sureetsfal practice in this
peculiar branch of our profession gives us a decided superiority
over every other Practitioner. In recent cases of Syphilitic lam.
tion, a perfect cure is completed In the short period of two days,
and in those cases of a more complicated nature, where other
practitioners have failed of success, a proper perseverance in our
plan of treatment ensures to the Patient a sound and perfect re-
estabisbnient. To those who are labouring under a general or
local Debility, it will be consolatory to know, that the Medicines
we prescribe possess the lneetimabi, power of renovating the most
debilitated Constitution, whether it arises from the indiscretions
of yituth,or by a residence in hot or unhealthy climates, too sedro
tar y a We, or too clots an application to stody, excessive grief, in-
judicious use of mercury, &c. or should it proceed Irom an habi.
tual tendency to consumption, these our restoratives will produce
the happiest &Lets. In place of Lassitude and Debility, we offer 1
lasting Healt.h. Streogth, and Spirits; and even to the aged and
infirm our plan of treatment will afford relief and comfort by
gem ly and safely invigorating the system.
Numerous eases of Strictures have been, and are daily under
our care, the total eradication of which is effected by a safe, err •
rain, and espeditious mode of prestige, superior to any other yet
adopted. !he weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from
this complaint are speedily removed, and the Pattern restore 3 to
