arrival Of the Corvette John ADAMS
Last evening, arrived at this port the U.
S. corvette John Adams, Capt. Trenchard
from Algiers, with Mr.. Murray, bearer of
dispatches for government.
The John Adams sailed from Algiers on
18th of May, in company with the U. S.
squadron under the command of Com.
Shaw, the whole of which were bound on
- cruiZe, except the sloop of war Onta-
gio, which sailed for Marseilles.
We are informed that a serious misun.
Outstanding had arisen between the Dey of
Algiers and the Americans, from what par
ticular causes we have not been able to
learn but understand that the DELAY of the
restoration of the brig of war, driven a.
shere by Com. Decatur, and seized by the
Spaniards, was one of the causes and that
the Dey was to send out his fleet to cruise
against the Americans, in violation Of the
late treaty of peace.
Com. Shaw, appraised of the hostile in
tentions of the Dey, proceeded with the
whole America squadron in the Mediter-
ranean to the port of Algiers and being
well provided with fire ships, &c. threa.
tened immediate destruction to his males.

with his household fed to one of the forts,
and when the work of destruction was a.
bout to commence, he sent out flag of
truce to Com. Shaw, with assurances that
he would adhere to the late treaty, and in
vited Mr. Shalee to return and resume his
functions, which was agreed to for the pre-
sent.
The American Consul at Gibralter had
given public notice that American vessels
might again pass up and down the Medi-
terranean without danger of molestation
by the Algerines.

pitiful arrangement. I think We could have
done better with our little squadron however.
