count of the late EmbaTy, which terminated IN
the re-efablfhment of good understanding be-
tween the Dey and Regency of Algicrs, written
~ agentleman on board his maiefy's flip Su-
peru, We haHen to lay it before our readers.
On the 28th of December Ian, having receiv-
ed on board MIR. Cartwright, lately from En-
gland, we parted from our fquadron, then off
Cape san Seba'tdno, and at day-break on the

Mr. Evans, of the Superb, (both converflnt in
the Italian languaGe,) went aihore with Leute-

which Hated the conditions on which alone he
couiu ever be landed, he not only vekemently
protected that he would never comply with
them, but even advanced in oppoGtion a claim
Oh his part, which. as far az can learn, was
never inlifed on when we were there in January
and June Ian year. Mr.. Evans, on this, return
