| We have been favored with series OF London

| 1t appears that the treaty concluded by lord
Exmouth early in April wlhsthe Dey of Algers,
has been broken by that piratical power within

/ that not only British property has been siezed
to considerable amount, but that British sub

! Our readers will recolect thatwe never augu-
red any thing safe or beneficial from the arrange
ngnts lately entered into by Lord Exmouth with
the regency of Algiers and we now regret to
ind, that they have in every respect proved
worse than abortve. Information was yesterday
received at Iloyds from Madrid and Carthage
ma, of The recommenccment the system OF rob-
Berg and depreciation BY the Algerine pirates a
cams 1.-THE British trade. Their hostility is open
md untlisguised they are again audaclously and
! UNANIMOUSLY at their old practice of capturing our
vessels and sending their crews into slavery aud

The INTEL gence transmitted yesterday by
Mr.. upper, our Consul General at barcelona,
relative to the seizure of British persons and
property by the Algerlnes, has producea as
might have been expected, one general feeling OF
Indignation in The British public. IT remains to
be enquired how far there may be possibility
of lis turning out 10 be mere report. MIR. Iup-
per received the information only at second hand
I from the masters of Spanish vessels VINO BAD es-
capped, and whose fears may have augmented the
real evil On the one hand, we cannot readily
conceive thatthe Algerines would have dared TO
incur Our resentment; on the other, II ianatl-
cal mob has influenced the government OF that
country to acts of violence--a circumstance oil
not unlrequent occurrence there-it becomes ne
cessai.y that they should be instantly made to
feel the whole weight of our vengeance Al
giers itself is a strong place but the Moors are
little accustomed to such attacks IS those OF our
