LORD EXNIOUUH.

We have the official accounts OF the ExpediS
ton To Algiers-And though my Lord fights
better than he uTites, yet what is tue sum total
of his atchiey ementsi-Whore is the .perma-
nent advantage of the chivalry he has exhibit
ed of the blood which has been so bravely
shcds
He has burnt the enemy fleet-But in twelve
months, or two years, it may be rebuilt.
He has levelled many of their batteres-But
they may ne erected stronger. than ever-their
guns and warliks implements being left in their
hands.
He has let loose the Christian Captives- This
is indeed "A benefit, which eXtOrts the. thanks
of the world but fresh expeditions may be
fitted out, and other captives made.
He has compelled them To reimburse J00,-
600 dollars-but who will receive it! 1t will
be an office of courtesy TO restoreitto the states
who had advanced it-But, were lteven t0pass
into the British Exchequer, what proportion or
the expences of the expedition would it dis
charge
He has compelled them to sign atreaty, abo-
ishing all Christian Serritude for ever-Atreaty!
with a set of pirates, whose whole history is Il
satire upon the laws OF nations, and who hold
no sort of faith with Christian dogs" We
perfectly concur in opinion with the London
paper" We do not think enough has been
done. We surely have had neutrality-suspicious.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES these Barbarypowers are,
not to expect any farther faith from them, than
winch is naturalto rObbers-.just so much and
| so long as we have them i'll our power The
moment our fieetis departed-the moment that
| they can determine, that il will cost us more
| money to punish them than to suffer their pira-
| CIV, in that moment will they resume them"
Brave as the English have proved themselves
| to be- they have done too little 10 answer the
hopes which had been indulged in this country,
or in Europe-too little to consummate the pro-
phecy of the London Courier, 8 that the
blow would be terrible, fatal, .fnaP--too little
To arrest the pirates-too little for the honor of
the Englisharms.
He has done less than our own Decatur has
done, in proportion to their respective means
and scarcely more than he might himself have
done, on his first trip to Algiers, with veryinfe-
riOr means.

There was no OPPOSITION at the Poll inthis
Borough on Monday last, to the MONROE
Ticket. Notwithstanding this circumstance,
however, large number of votes were given,
and the ticket was generally approved by all
parties.

Barbadoes, that the slaves of that island have
again shown strong symptoms of insubordina-
ton. Several conspiracies have been recent
iydetected, one of which had in view to sur

- PENNSYLVANIA.-Ou readers are AREA
dyapprised, that the Electoral College ofPenn-
sylyapia was chosen on Friday last. There
. were two tickets run the one formed by the
Republican Members of the Legislature, and
pledged to vote for James Monroe and Daniel
ID. TOmpkins; the other formed by a meeting
of III persons at Carlisle, called by them the
Independent Ticket composed of persons,
however, who without being pledged, it is sup
posed, would (if electedD vote for the same per-
sons as the regular Republican Ticket As far
as we can understand the question, 'abstracted
from local and personal considerations, the Sc
cOnd Ticket is formed OH the principle Of OPP
position only, as any view TO elevate any other
than the Man of the People to the Presidency,
is disavowed. The Fcderalists have of course,
cOalesced with the Republican seceders, and
q produced in the city and county of Phiiadel-
phia, which alone we have heard from, such
a result as might have been expected from the
state of partiesin that district. The votein that
district, was as follows:
For the Republican Ticket 2Sl7
For the Carlisle Ticket ill2
Notwithstanding this return, the Republican
Ticket will prevail through the state, by an i'm
