Extract Of a letter dated Marseilles,
Nov. l, 1915, from an officer Of the U
s. Squadron, to a gentleman in Pr0yi-
dence.
$ Il is impossible for me to convey an
adequate idea Of the elegance and SpIen.
dor Of this charming city; ] will defer
describing or endeavoring to describe il
until some leisure hour. But of what
benefit are such cities TO Frenchmen J
Would you believe it , There are ten
English troops here, garrisoning
all the forts, and a squadron, under COM
mand OF Admiral Exmouth, of six ships
of the line and a number of fi'igates, with
forty transports ready to embark the
troops in case Of a disturbance at Tcu-
lon, which is hourly expected to raise the
imperial flag Of Napoleon
!" 1t is needless to tell you, that our
last war has rendered US conspicuously
great in the eyes of this nation, and in
deed of every other. We have an evil
dent proof in the extreme peliteness OF
the Marseiiles citizens, who, to oblige an
American, would make any sacrifices"
A report has just reached as, by
the American consul, stating the MUIR
der of the Dey OF Algiers, and a new
war with the United States. So much
faith is put in this report, that the sloop
Erie viii be made ready for fighting any
Algerine frigate.'
8 P. s. The British squadron yester-
day was standing into the harbor of rou-
lon. So soon as the headmost frigate
came within gun-shot, the batteries open
ed on her aud nearly destroyed her.
Admiral Exmouth is now here without
obtaining the squadron of French ships
which tie pusil!animous Louis offered
to his acceptance. The governor of iou-
lon sent the British word, that no En-
glish squadron shoald ever enter that
pert. Comments are useless"
Foreign papers say, that on the first
|ef November an entertainment was Civ
en- to the duke of Angouleme, by lord
|Ex,neuth, on board bis ship at Mar
settles; and that the next day the duke
set out for AK.
