We do not hear up to this boar of any defaulters

Estract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds at
Gibraltar, dated Bth of August:—
" The United States frigate sailed yesterday morn-
ing from this Bay. with a contrary wind, for the pur-
pose, it seems, of proceeding to Minorca, to remove
their depot of Naval Stores, is consequence of • pe-

remptury order to that effect from the Spanish (lo►ern-
ment. In the coarse of the afternoon the Ontario
American sloop of war, and Nonsuch schooner, ar.
ri►ed, and being admitted to Prague at a late boor,
took in some provisions, and sailed again al 10 o'clock
last might ler the same destination as the Constitu-
tion. This step appears to bars been taken by the
Spanish Go►ernment in consegnesee of the late recog-
nition by the United States of the South American
ladepentlence.

Accounts have been received from Algiers, which
give the most melancholy descriptions of the ravages
made in the provinces. The principal inhabitants of
the capital were in the greatest consternation. The
differences between Spain and the Dry, are likely to
lead to hostilities.

in which the Greeks were engaged, as mentioned yes-
terday, are various and conflicting., bat no intelli•

crossed the Dniester, on their return home, on the
