Recommendation to The n1erebarts Of tbe Unite,
Sf2teJ, trading to tie Mediterranean.

accommodation to the merchants Of The United
Sf8feJ, trading to tie Mediterranean
WHEREAS the trade of the United State t.,
the Mediterranean, is one of TIE mott valuable
OF the faid States, and has been during the la(f
and more particularly during the prefent war,
much molefted by an infamous fet of privateers
fitted out in the Ports of Spain, whole general
rendezvous has been and continues TO be the
Port of AgeGras, before which port every veC
fel bound to the Mediterranean mutt necefIarilv
pats, and whereas it appears there is no ConfuI
or Agent for the United States, nor has there
been for feveral years paft at Algefiras. except
Spaniard nominated by Mr.. John Gavino of
Gibraltar (withiD few weeks) and that the
flid port being within the jurifdieion of the
Conful of Cadiz, which office is held by a Spani.
ard now refiding at Madrid, and who has not
rehded for many years pat within so miles of
his Confulate, and that the interet and honour
of the United States and it's Citizens are totally
neglected and its vefIels are daily captured and
carried into the ports of AlgeIiras, and the Cap.
tains or Seamen there engaged either to fen pa
pers in foreign language which in many in
frances are made the grounds of their condem-
nation, or obliged to enter into compromises e.
qnally injurious both to the honour of the Unit
ed States and the interefts of the citizens, and
whereas ]. Iznardy, Conful General of the u.
"''Su O'diNo, dt NfplL anu tS OepeH0eOCIeS, has
been applied to, to appoint a Vice Conful at
Aigehrss, and he has either been unwilling 70
to do, or has been unable TO get any perfon TO
ferve under him, aIledging that no perfon would
content TO remain there without fixed Clarv,
which the Government have refufed to allow to
any Conful or Vice Conful, and whereas from
the above ftated facts, it clearly appears, that
the lnterefts of the United States and its cifi-
zens are totally abandoned to the mercy of a
let of puYateerfnen, s. that immenfe fiIms have
been loft and continue daily to be brought in and
condemned.
II is, therefore, nrongly recommended to the
citizens vt the ". States, engaged in the trade
TO the Mediterranean to call meeting in the
different Sea ports & preient petition to Con-
gref+, claiming that protection which they con-
ceiVe themfelves & their property entitled to-. &

Memoir alluded 10 in the preceding Note.
{" Without noticing the allegations with
which the note of the cabinet of Vienna,
is flied, of the date Of 10Th Fructidor, Esd
Septe mber) we will examine the pacific
sentiments which this note apparently pre-
senss.
" The court Of Vienna has made levies
and preparations of every kind; and has
at this very time permitted foreign army
to ester her territory.
Her only view, as she assures US, IS
20 compel France and England to conclude
peace; but If such is the view Of the court
of Vienna, why has she forgotten to make
known the basis on which this peace may
be concluded.
Shall we take as basis, the treaties OF
LanevilIe or Amiens, or the present state
of the two naiions, as Austria had desired
at the FIRST overtures of the last peace? Or,
in short, pretenslous drawn from the same
source with the allegations ar present made
against Franeef
{, IN atsentively perusing the note from
the court of Vienna, we think We discover
that she wishes co take as basis for fueure
negotiations the treaties of LaneviHe and
Amiens: bat has England, who lately re-
fused 20 establish peace Oh this very oasis,
yet adopted Them
The cabinet of Vienna has not made it
knowa, and if it SO Happens that she does
not wish to adopt them, his majesty, the
emperor of Germany, who would not as
sumo the character of mediator, if he were
not truly such, which essentially consists
in iuaexlble justice aud perfect impartial
ity, has doubtless taken the same measures
in coacere with other powers, TO compel
England to recognize his principle of me-
diauon, as he mas taken TO constrain
France. She, no doubt, has Aeets prepa.
red, cruizers fitted out, IN short, all the
means which are indispensibly necessary
to the end proposed.
!" The note of the cabinet OF Vienna
throws no light on any of these points. 1t
is, however, essential to know:
1st. Whether the court of Vienna un-
derstands mat the treaty of Luneville or
Amieus, should be taken as the basis of

To Mr.. Israel, of Philadelphia, who
came passenger in the ship Illinois we are
indebted for the following statement:
/" The British feet, consisting of the
Tremendous, commodore, Osborne, of ~
guns Grampus, Barker, so; Pltf, Vosh.
ing, 40; and TerpsichOre, Bathurst, of a6
guns, arrived off the Isle OF France the
4th Of June, and sailed on the 18th August.
Before their departure the Pitt cruised of
Bourbon, during which ime she Cut out of
the RoatS the French ship Tulleres, of and
for Marseilles, with about COO bags of cof-
fee on board. They generally allowed
most of the merchant vessels to go and
come out of the harbour without molesta-
ton. Several Americanvessels have been
during the eruize forbid to go in, and some
have been ordered for Bourbon; the cause
of which was not known. This mas only
happenea to vessels from India for Europe,
with cargoes; vessels from America direct
have never met with any detention.
g The great number of vessels that have
arrived at tbs Isle of France with eargoes
within this wear have caused complete
sragnation in business. 1t is with great
difficulty cargo of any kind can be dispos-
ed of particularly at this moment; as it's
hazardous to sell on credit, even to per-
sons who were supposed safe at any other
time.
Two and half or three per cent per
month was given for the best paper in the
island. It is supposed that the Quantity of
wine, beef, pork, -four, &c. now at the
Isle of France, is sufficient for the con-
sumption of the two islands for at least a
year without any additional supplies. In
consequence of which most of the ves-
sells that have arrived there made; ruinA
Gus voyages, and are compelled to seek
elsewhere for cargoes produce at the island
being scarce and excessively dear
There have been several prizes lately
brought in, but their cargoes mostly con-
sist of rice, excepting one or two with tea.
&c. which. with the ships, have been Pur.
