which terminated In the re-eifab-.
hfhment Of agood understanding be
tween the Dey and Regency OF Al
giers, written bya gentleman on.
board his majea's ihip Superb. We
hafen to lay it before our readers.
On theaSth of December lat having
received on board a FIR. Cartwright,
lately from England, We parted from
our fquadron, then off cape San Sebas-
siano. and at day-break on the sd OF
January arrived of Algiers. The rev.
DR.. Scott, chaplain of the Victory, &
abe rev. Mr.. Evans, Of the Superb,
Iboth conyerlantin the Italianlanguage,
went afliore with lieutenant Butler,
early in the forenoon, and were loon
conducted intot preience OF the Dey
After the ufual falutation~of ihaklng
hands,a privilege allowedto none but
Brluih fnbleefs, DR.. Scott, proceeded
10 read to him Lord Melons letter
which was 10 Italian it was further
explained, either in the Turkilh or in
the Moriico language, by Mr.. But
mach, very opateat merchant, chief
of the Iewiih iphabitants, and poiieiled
: of great influence at Aigiers.--- His.
highnefs the Dey expreded his iatlsfac-
ton. in the ftrongef terms at our hav-
J ing brought with US coniul; but on
hearing that part of the letter which
. ifated the conditions on which ne could
ever be landed, he not only vehement
" protected that he would never COM
ply with them, but even advanced In
oppohtien claim on his part, (which as
far as can learn was neverinilted on
when we were there in AN. & June lait
year. Mr.. Evans on this, returned on
board, in order to communicate to
captain Keats the refulto OF the audience
and ON the following morning wewent
aIhore again, with further lnaruetlons,
but attending invariably, (If we may
nudge from the final iiiue ofthe emoai1y)
70 the unconditional attainment OF the
demands already deliver ed in. DR..
Scott, in the mean time had been &C
lively and uiefully engaged in impress
ing on the minds of the mlnilters, that
nothing lefs than an abfoiute compli-
ance with the ultimatum propoi d,
could inlurea continuance-of that ami
ty which had 70 long prevailed, be-
tween his Brrtanic maJeify and the
kingdom of Algiers.
Oh. Ga the the 81 captain Keates landed
aud had an audience ofthe Dey. ! am
inclined to believe It was a tsanoel tasous
one, but that it finally had a good ef-
feet., On the morrow he returned to
the charge; and after long and VIC
Lent conf1ltation, in full Diyan, it was
at length determined that. his demands
ought to be complied with. - That
night he was under the hecemty ofre5
naming on fhore. Here l mutt OBJ
serve, that Mr.. Moqntferd, ieeretary
TO col. Lear, the American conful then
at Malta refpeGfing their affairs with
1'ripoli, had on the third made an offer
ofhis houfe and table as,long as the SUI
perb fhouid remain off Algiers his
friendly and hoipitabie invitation was
gladly and ttankFuiIy received, it APP
pearing by no means, politically adj
vifeable to open the EngIiih houte.--
Our terms having now been fully ac-
knowledged to beequitable and honor
able, and a perfect compliance with
them having been promiied, no fur
