DOMESTIC.

The following correspondence, which
passed between lord ExmOuth and Will
am Sllaier, esq. consul general at Algiers.
does honor to both parties. The conduct
ofMr. Shaler was dictated by that huma-
nifty which has hitherto in every instance
marked the conduct of American officers.
The acknowledgment Of it by lord Elk
mouth reflects great credit on the feelings
OF his iordship and the spirit of Justice
winch actuated him. We are happy to
remark this good understanding and nm
preiudiced regard exercised between the
officers OF England and America, and We
trustthey may long continue to vie in acts
of generosity and magnanimity with each
other. Whether in day ofpeace or that
oiwar, the hostility of governments should
never operate to prevent those acts of bu-
manly which always shed Iustre ON those
who confer them. N. Y. Nat. Ale.

AS the harvest in the south of Europe

I'm our selections from the English pa
palIy to articles in relation to English
Markets. The great alarm, on account
ofthe shortness ofcropsi in England, which
prevailed at Liverpool when the Harlequin
sailed, had in a great measure subsidized.
The weather had become fine. and it was
supposed the farmers would yet realize
from two-thirds to three fourths of the IL
sual crops. The harvest in various parts
of Europe has been universally productive,
and measures have been adopted in En-
| gland to secure a sufficient supply. We
have very little doubt, that the price of
wheat and -four viii be lower in London
6; Liverpool by the middle of nextmontl,
than it now is, or will then be, in this CT
| ty.
The crops in Ireland are better than
had been supposed, 6, less injured bv rain.

We understand, that, by this arrival.

limited as to the price, to ten dollars. which
is 50 below the present market-price in
