LATE FROM ALGIERS.

Arrival Of the Corvette John .4iaus.
Last evening arrived at this port the II.
5. corvette John Adams, Capt Trenchard.
from Algers, with Mr.. Murray, bearer of
dispatches for government.
The John Adams sailed from Algicrs on
the 18th OF May, in company with the u.
5. squadron under the command Of Coin.
Shaw, the whole Fl watch were bound on
cruze, except the sloop of war Ontario,
which sailed for Marseilles.
We are informed that a serious misun-
Outstanding has arisen between the Dey of
Anglers anil the Americans, from what par
ticular cause We have not been able to
learn F.; but understand that the delay Of the
restoration Of the brig Of war, driven a.
shore by Com. Decatur, and seized by the
Spaniards, was one OF the Causes; and that
the Dey has about to send out his feet TO
cruise against the Americans, in violation
Of the late treaty Of peace.
Com. Shaw, apprised Of the hostile in
tentions OF the Dey, proceeded with the
whole American squadron in the Mediter-
ranean to the port Of Algiers ana being
well provided with fire ships, &c. threaten
ed immediate destruction to his majcsty's
Feet, rs well as his capital. Mr.. Smaller,
the American consul. had previously re-
paired on board our fleet. This sudden &
unexpected appearance Of the squadron,
cause, great confusion and fear the Dey,
with his household, fed TO one Of the forts.
and when the work Of destruction was a
bout to commence, he sent out FAC OF
truce to Com. Shaw, with assurances that
he would adhere to The late treaty, and ny
vited Mr.. Shaler to return and resume his
functions, which was agreed to for the pre-

Eafrdcs IF letter. dated " Bay Of .7ieiei's,
.ibrH Is, 1915.
The Aperican squadron arrived of
this port on the LIST instant, where we found
the British fleet under the command of
Lord Exmouth, consisting of six ships of
the line, two frigates, aud or 10 bomb &
other vessels. The object of this British
expedition. as WAS understood previously
to its leaving Port Mahon, was to release
all christian slaves. and oblige the Alge.
rinss TO submit to the laws of civilized ma
tions; and in the event of not being allie to
accomplish these objects by negocialion,
they were certainly to level the town. But
notwithstanding their threats, and the am
pie force they possessed, they have ended
the business disgracefuily. They have in
deed obtained the release Of about 500
christian slaves, Sardinians and Neapol-
tans; not, however, by force of arms, but
by negotiating to pay ransom of 500 dol.
lars each for the Sardinians, and 1000
dollars each for the Neapoltans Having
thus accomplished their business here, the
British feet sailed on the 9TH, bound as is
supposed for Iunis, for similar object.
Since they sailed we have been on the
very verge of another war with Algiers,
respecting the brig that was given up by
Com. Decatur. The affair proceeded to
such length, that we actually prepared
the boats Of the squadron, for the purpose
OF burning their vessels in the Mole.-We
have however come to an accommodation,
and understand the Dey has agreed to
refer 1t to our government, and is willing to
wait reasonable time for an answer. /
refer you for the particulars of this bust
ness, TO the commedore's dispatches.
We sail hence early to morrow morn

FELLOW-CT7IxENs,
Al the time when the present undertaking
to sever Maine from Massachusetts was first
suggested, it y az reasonabiyto have been ex-
pected, that the great body Of the people
would have been left, without excitement.
when the question of separation should be le-
galy taken, 10 the free and unbiased exercise
Of their own judgment and this was the
more to be desired, as every man in the CON-
munity without advice or instruction. is
competent judge of his own dispositions to.
wards the constitution that protects him.
None will readily relinquish the charter of
their rights and liberties, for that which is
merely imaginary, more especially when ii
efectually secures the great interests OF all.
Besides, SO critical and hazardous, is the task
OF dismembering an old government, and or.
ganizing new one, that prudent communi-
ties always approach it with caution; and
good policy forbids the undertaking, till the
necessity, OF eApedience oft, is clear to the
ulprejudiced understanding of great major
it, Of those who are destined to sustain its
expenses.
But whatever expectations may have been
entertained on this subject, the public mind
has been beset with uncommon ardour and
urgency. All are called upon, not only by
argument, but by the strong voice of importu-
nity, 10 give up their constitution, for thai
which future casualties may furnish in lis
stead.--This mode of bringing the question
