torln their respective consuls that he had waited
a long tIne for The annuities due from them that
his patience was exhausted, and that if he did
not receive, either by the way of Alicant, or some
vessel which should arrive, information that they
nigh; be shortly expected, they would feel the
consequences.
" The consul general considers this as formal
declaration the reigning Dey being in tire habit
of putting his threats into execution and he
thinks there is very little doubt he will declare a.
gainst some one or perhaps the whole ofthe pow
ers above mentioned but it is TO be presumed,
that his attacks should be confined to one alone
the extent sf our commerce iii those SEAS will
offer the greatest object fer his cupidity.
You will therefore be pleased immediately to
notice all the American vessels within your dis
trict, OF this circumstance, in order that they NAV

koSICsHFRC, Nov. %
Several English families have arrived here from
Petersburg and Riga. AS they did not know what
road TO follow to return to their own country.
they had been falsely made to- believe that the v
could fund conveyances here for England but e.
very communication between that country and
Clhs is forbidden more vigorously than ever.
These EngiShmen will have then to wait till they
can find an opportunity Of Passing over to Swe.
den and they will do very well not TO larry there
long. For WHO could variant that the amicabIe
rca:ions Of the courts of Stockholm and St.
James VII not be soon succeeded by an hostile
posture which The English ministers forced Den
mark 70 ha,e recourse to- to resist their opprc ssh
on. Otherwise, the example Of those English
families proves that IT viii soon be- easier Ia com
nuhicate with America than wills England.
