Lord EsmontBs Victory.-We have,
70 day, the high qualification of announ.
cling. by an Extraordinary Gazette, pub
Iifhed laa night, the arrival of the des.
patches of Lold Exmouth, which COM
tnunicate the fuccefsful refult of lis Lord
hip's operations before Algiers
Capt. Brisbane, with the deipatchss,
arrived at the Admiralty on Saturday
night.
:. II appears that Lprd Exmou,h, after
sncounteSing fome opofition from the adj
verse elements, placed himfef before AL.
81 rs, BY day break on the 27,h of latt
month and that the irreliltible gallantry
Of his fee, ioon brought the rufFian enc
my to terms.
In the attainment Of important objects
Of his expedition, we have to lament the
lots of many gallant officers and men |;
bn: this we NUT conllder partial evil
for universal good"
The BritilhC ontul was happily rettored
in fafety and it is not an unintereiting
circumftance, that his wife and daughter
were brought away in the difguife of
midfhipmcu. A child of the Conful I'm.
confciouly betrayed its intended efcape
in bafket by its cries. Il was, however,
fent off next morning by the Dey, who, it
appears, was difpofed to make virtue
Of necefIity.
The lofs Of hecnemy ia between s &
1000 men, befides the deitruetion Of his
implements Of piracy, his veficls.
