Charles soon liberated them.

them with l2o ships, 90 gales and $4,000
men, almost all OF which were destroyed He
WAS landing his troops, and the senate or

could be fought on shore, which scattered
and destroyed his feet. His troops without

fee from the sabre of their enemy, persisted
in the storm--snd Charles, The " sovereign OF
Spain Germany and the Indics," returned
with the miserable remnan, of SO large Feet

the enemy.
Some years after this the French went a.

CEiLON AND HE LkCl1lMATES."
The kingdom OF Ceylon (says Nles's Reg.
ister,) Is probably more "yenerable" for It's
ancient institution than any il Europe. Itis
delightful island in The Last Indies, esteem
cd by It's people as The "tcrrestrial paradise :"
populons and wealthy. Ii produces an abun.
dance al most tlings desired, and is 260 miles
long aud 200 broad---its inhabitants pride
themselves On maintaining its ancient laws
and customs. The " legitimate" King Of
Portugal h'.t attempted 10 put down the irgi-
inmate king of CeyIon, aud be invited tie
"legliimale" Dutch 10 drive them off. They
having got foot hold maintained "legiti-
mart" possession, in spite of all the efforts of
the Ceylonese "patriots" and their legitimate
princes, until The dearly liberty loving English,
beat the Dutch, and assumed Legitimate"
possession Of the greater part OF the Isl. nj.
Since then, 1t seems, by the article below,
that they have even laid unholy hands upon
the crown and throne OF the venerable iegtn-
mate king of CeyIoL What rascal Iona.
farfe was for doing less than this in &tQM
But Bonaparte being himself "it-ltgiGmate,"

THIS makes great diiieronce IN every thing.
His confederation OF the Rhine, 10, instance,

his, is--angeHc. O foul and abominsble by.

In Lnd0n Crown and Throne The ship

dra last Thursday, from Liverpool. Capt.
l.. Oh his passage spoke July 81, the Brush
trigate Niger, Z days from the Eas,-indies,
bound to England. They Informed him, that
they had on beard the Crown and Thtone oi
the King Of Candy, territory 10 the island of
Ceyon, which place was IL possession OF the
British, having been captured alter a hard
fought action, in which tho British lost TWO
general SJtiicers, and d number Of meu--the
crown and throne were valued al eight mil
lions--they had like wise on board number
of wild beasts---he said that American pri-
vatees had been very numerous in the L.
Indies.
The King Candy is the Sultan of Ceylon,
the obiy monarch Of the ancient Sersndib
and whose dynasty, II anliqury has any thing
OF sancity, Is more ancient lhan any o. Europe,
and can be traced 10 a period coevai with The
eXpulsions of the Tarquins. The British
have been al war with this Prince for some

with Aigiers, we learn, are dated on the 5h

what day the Treaty was signed, but il was
probably Two or three days previous TO tho
date Of the Dispatches. He states that 10
American prisoners at Algiers had been Civ
en- up, and that he should send them home
IN The Epervier which was to sail with des-
patches. Ii is understood that as soon as the
a'range were finished with AIgiers,
Com Decatur would Vi Sit the other arbary

such as Com. Decatur chose 10 dictate. The
release OF the Algerine vessels captured by
him was not stipu!aled in the Treaty, but be
