Latest from Gibraltar.
Arrived here, late last evening brig Bra
lillian, Snow. in do days from Gibraltar. We
were politely favored with the following iate-
Resting intelligence, by an Intelligent gentle
man, passenger IN the B.
:. The American squadron fell in with the
Algerine trigate MEssODA, of rs gurs, and
from to 600 msh, off Cape de Cat. she was
engagedby the Gucrriere alone and after
an action of one hour and half,swas captur-
ed by her; the Messoai had 81 killed aud 81
wounded the Guerriere had wounded.A-
They afterwards Captured another frigate &
corvette of Cape Palos; the particulars OF
the action not stated. -.
= 1heprizes were sent into Carthacena. but
were ordered by the Spanish government TO
leave the place IN consequence (which they
proceeded to Toulon. 1t was reported that
smother Algerine ctuiser, a brig, had been
spoken going into Tou,on, prize to the A
merican squadron. 1t was confidently believ-
cd &c Iihraitar, that the greatest part, # not
the whole of the Algerire fleet would be cap
tured, as there were certain accounts of their
being at sea, long after they passed the Straits,
which preceded the American squadron ONLY
by 48 hours. There was another report in
Circulation, that the squadron had taken the
second sea port in Ayers. called Oran. Yes
sells which had arrived from the Straits bro't
various but conarmatory accounts OF the pro-
liability of the entire capture of the Algerine
feet; but as they assert nothing particular
as to actual capture; except those already
mentioned, they are oaly entitled to the credit
OF plausible conjeccures. The report Of the
capture OF che two frigatss and the corvette,
was confirmed by letter from Capt. Lewis,
OF the Guerrero, to one of the american Cnn
suls in Spain, andby hin Communicated to
Mr.. Horatio Sprasue, American Commission
Merchant at Gibraltar. ..
The Dutch squadron consisting OF Eve frie-
ates and one s!oop of war passed Gibraltar on
the Sd July, and it was presumed wou,d form
junction with the Americans.
a large Swedish fir gate came to anchor az
Gibraltar on the 18th, bound up. 1t was
SAID she was the vanguard of mach larger
force to operate against the Algernes.
There were various. reports respecting the
number of American merchantmen captured
by the Algerines since the W ar, but they orr
sinated more from conjecture than from any
asc ertained facts.
The prisoners at Alsiers were treated We
ry welapd not obliged TO work, being under
the protection of the Swedish consul there,
VINO allows them monthly stipend by the
authority of our government. Mr.. Sprague
had received a humber of letters frofn capt.
smith OF the Salem brig Who resides with the
Swedish Consul. The last letter was from
IL

OF the Consdl,) undertook to answer letter
from Mr.. Spfague TO him it stated that they
were very well treated by the. present Dey,
and t.at he had no doubt that the moment the
American. feet appeared off Algiers, an i'm
