The peace which Spain ignominiouily concluded
with theie pirates, appears have been fpbmisted to-
with views that have their merited difappoint-
mepk Il was contemplated by the mniers Of Spain
to exclude every other nation from the commerce of
the coat Of Africa hr Barbars, aud to concentrate
IN Cadiz the whole OF the commerce from the gulph
OF Cyrepe wea Of Alexandria to Mogadore on the
Atlantic. The treaty which was to accomplish thi,
great monopoly Was concluded by the count dEfph,
ly; by which it was agreed to pay milnons of dol
lars, to alter the flag of Span and to releafe all AL
geriue priloners 10 Spain without ranfom, The me-
gociator only obeyed his ntruaioHs from COURT for
he had fagaeitY epough to dfeern and to fay TO an
American gentleman there at the time, tina, Spain
Whit intending to exclude the northern nations from
that commerce, was only encouraging new depreda-
tons on herielf and all the world-and the oberva,
ton was foon verified, 70, Algiers immediately made
war on Sweden and obtained 100000 dollars on
Venice; on the Dutch on Denmark and at length
upon Spain herief; agaipR France war was alto COM
menesd, quoted and renewed; France gave no quar-
ter and the demolition OF the city, which had been
before effected, was the verge of being re xccon

The disappointment. of Spain only induced her to
reiort to the tributary policy, by which he has nce
maintained AN influence prejudeial to other powers
and is faced on very gosd authority that e, at
particular period endeavored by her interference to
! prevent fettlement with the United States, tho
withou, fuceels and il has been limited that what fhe
failed to accomplish Algiers he fucceedsd in at Tri-
poll. Theie views will afford fome ufeful light on
the general comm Of the Mediterranean and the
Bafbary rates particularly. But the mon important
trade next to that of the Italian, Spanfh and Freneh
eoafts is thar of the interior Mediterranean or te-
want, which originally meaning the eaA, or where the
fun rites, is now underaood to all thar part of
the Mediterranean within the iiland of Malta COM
pretending the COATS of Syria, Egypt, Afatic and
European Turkey, and the ancient Greek Archipela-
go. Since the Porte became fube9 TO the influence
and fear of Ruia aud France could not yield Turkey
her former countenance the free navigation of the
channel leading to the Euxne opened in manner a
nero Azerifa TO Europe. In 1904 one thoufand fail

ed them to Spain, Portugal and Italy. The wheat

Riga and Nitau, into tie BaitcIas foou as Poland
was occupied by Ruia, the channels Of expert were
changed the Dneiper and the Bog by which rivers
they were conveyed TO oachakow and Perecop, and
the efabilhments cherfon---the ports Of the
Taurda or Crimer-while the colonization Of the
Kuban and the cultivation Of the Ihores of the Tea of
Afoph furniihed refources for commerce, that had
been heretofore buried in the harbafous procristiou
