expects answers to his dispatches from
America by the beginning Of April, and
assures US he will enter upon negotiate
ons for our ransom a. soon a. authorised
by government. He also assures, that
no exertions shalt be wanting on his part
TO render our situations here as comfort
able and our captivity Of As short dura-
ton As possible-he 1t the same time
writes very firm, and manly letter to,
the prime minister here-he tells him, it
ha. pleased Providence to put in his pow
er number of his unfortunate country
men, whom he hopes his humanity win
dictate to him to treat as prisoners of
war, begs him not to compel the men to
work, that the government will not ran
som those who have been treated a.
slaves, and charges him at his peril not
to mal-treat an officer or man belonging
to the United States. L.. .zs 49,
alt IS impossible for us to conjecture
what sum the Bashaw win demand for
our release. As yet not a syllable has
escaped the Tripoline government upon
that subject. Whenwe were in the Me-
diterranean in the Constellation the Al
gsrines captured a Portuguese frigate, and
Il I recollect Algiers demanded of Por-
tugal million Of dollars for the release
Of theirprisoners. Possibly our Bashaw
may regulate his demands from this pre-
cedent and require million for US, per-
:haps he may be satisfied with less, per-
haps he may be still more exorbitant, de-
pending entirely upon what he thinks the
United States win give, we have no
ground on which to form an opinion with
regard to the precise sum. He win en-
deavour to get as much a. possible, and
no doubt viii at FIRST make . most exor-
bitant demand. The United States
However viii not too eagerly come into
their terms. The United States will
neither give million nor half million,
for although government ought to con-
eeiye herself bound to rescue us from
captivity a. speedily IS possible, for il
was while in the jealous performance Of
our duty in her service, in the actual
pursuit Of an enemy's cruizer, that our
misfortunes befel us, yet have no idea
that our country should appear 90 humili.

bility, a. wen % want Of dignity, ~ To-

demands for our ransom. He win let
Capt. B. know when he sends the Rag Of

The prime minister was educated in Ita.

Is much our friend. forgot to mention
that the British Consul has been speak

Last evening the Minister sent US
some letters which have been broken o.
pen for the perusal Of the Bashaw. The
latest dates Of mine was December Soth.
They have been in Tripoli at least nine,
days as there have been no arrivals here
since then. have not yet the papers
which aecompaniedthese letters. ! sup
pose they WILDE sent in day or two ;
though If they intend translating all the
papers, and translate as slow as they
have done the etters, it would be many
months ere we get them. have no
doubt there are more letters for me at
