Extract Of a letter, dated Gibraltar; Sept. I
" No material incident happened on our
voyage nor here until to day, worth recital.
Capt. Bainbridge touched here on his way
toioin the Squadron, s days ago, and this
morning to the surprise of the inhabitants
came in with Moorish ship and an Anne
rican brig her prize, which she hadcaptured
off Malaga. Capt. 8. fortunately fell in
with her off Cape de Sat. This at once
discovers to the Americans that the Empe-
ror Of Morocco is about puttinghis previ-
GUS hostile and malevolent threats now in
to execution against the United States
Commodore Morris is expected here hour
lywith the squadron and some Tripolitan
prizes. There was in the bay 8 days ago
two Moorish cruizers, who affected to be
boxing out for Genoese, by asserting they
were at war with that power.
" It's the prevailing opinion of the peo-
pie here, that the United States might as
well be at war with the whole powers of the
Barbary States as witha petty regency. If
they would send out formidable feet to
battertheir owns and destroy their cruizers
which will be the only thing which will rem
der your flag respectable, and gain perma-
nent peace and respect from the Savages.
The Emperor of Morocco is now at Tan
slers, about fifteen miles from here"
