FROM .aLGESIR.aS.

The schooner Treaty, captain Davis,
arrived at this port on Saturday evening,
in ~ days from. Algeziras. Captain u.
sailed on the 2othof December, but brings
no Gibraltar or other papers. We learn
verbally, by this arrival: that a French
force Of II 5000 men advanced second time
against St. Rogue and Algeziras about the
7th OF December, driving the Spanish
troops, together with the inhabitants Of
these places, before them, under the walls
OF Gibraltar. In this situation the inha-
bitants amounting to IS or 100000 and
Spanish troops remained until about the
10th cr17th OF December, daily skirmish-
es taking place between small parties of
the French and Spanish troops; when the
French broke up from their encampment
and marched, as it was supposed, to get
possession of Tarifa. The British troops
at Gibraltar, said to be about 5000 men,
and the Spanish troops, about 5000 in
number, were instantly put Oh board
! transports and sent over to Tarifa, to de-
fend that place and they arrived in time
to prevent the French from getting imme-
! diate possession of it. On the goth when
captain Davis was coming out, he wit
| messed an engagement between the con-
tending armies, but did not wait to learn
the result Of it. The French had advanc-
ed upon the town ofTarifa, and the action
took place close to that town the French
troops were without artillery, but the fire
fthe musketry was very brisk. The
British and Spanish troops were flanked
by several ships ofwar. who annoyed the
French very considerably by shells, &c !;
but whether the combined forces would be
able to beat off the French, and retain pos
session of the town, was very doubtful
Fears were entained by many at Gibraltar
and AIgeZiras, that the French would
carry il, from their superiority Of num-
bers although it was not doubted that it
would be well defended There had been
recent arrivals at Gibraltar from Cadiz,
but there was nothing new in that quarter.
Il was said that Lord Wellington had gone
into winter quarters, and that no farther
operations were expected to take place in
Portugal before the spring.

gallant army and navy will not obtain that
reward in prize money, which their zeal
and bravery induce us to wish they would,
through the spienetic rage of General
Janscns, who directed the setting on fire OF
all the principal specie stores. They were
burning for four days before ,lley fell into
our possession by the storming Of Corne-

val forces under their respective COM
mands, not 20 modest the Coasting and
Fishing vessels on the shores Of the Dis
trict Of Maine, SO long as the British
shores, Fishing vessels and Coastefs
are not molested on our part.
They consider it, on the part Of the
British Governor, as an invitation to the
Citizens of the L. S. to commit Trea-
son. BY the same reasoning, should
the District Of Maine escape invasion
and plumber, it would be correct to de-
clare the District in a state of rebellion,
and danounce as Traitors, the owners of
such Coasting and Fishing vessels as
should be suffered to pass when in the
power Of any British force. All this
may be fit and proper in the view of those
who believe in the necessity and expe-
diency OF The present war; which Is, we
are told, to secure 70 this country the
most valuable objects. But how the
objects OF the war are TO be defeated,
should the poor coasters and fishermen
be exempted from capture and impri-
sonment and the defenceless citizens,
living on the shores, escape being
plundered and robbed, we are at loss 10
conceive. 1t shows, however, that some
Of those who advocate the war, wish to
make it as general and destructive as
possible.
Gen. Hull, muchto his humanity, in
his Proclamation, on the invasion OF
Canada, promised protection TO the per-
sons and property of those who remain
quiet and peaceable at their homes.
He goes farther; he tells the Canadi'
ans, subjects of Great Britain, that a
tender of their services will be accep-
ted. Will it be said Gen Hull has In
vited the inhabitants of Canada to COM
nit treason +? We presume not.
