FROM GIBRALTAR-

We are indebted to the supereargo OF
the ship Union from Glib altar, for the
following intelligence.

a gentleman of Philadelphia, who arrived
at Gibraltar in the United States frigatc
commodore Shaw, from Port Mahon.
which port they left on the Attn. December
in Co. with the Spanish line of battle shin
Fernando Septimo, fitted for sea, by the
officers and crew of the Constellation fri
gate captain Gordon. One lieutenant and
sixty men were put on board from the u
nlted States to navigate her to Carthagena.
On the 5th ina squall she carried away
her mizen top mast, and it blowing very
hard that night the United States parted
from her. This gentleman who has been
with captain Gordon cruizing off Algiers
in company with the 0atario, captain
Downs, was landed there on the Cd No
vember ard remained with Mr.. Shaler FIVE
days waiting for dispatches Of Importance
to our government, which were delivered
to Captain Gordon, and taken by him to
port Mahon, for commodore Shaw, to be
sent to the United States. The Dew was
very much dissatisfied at not receiving the
brig which was captured by our squadron
and detained by the Spaniards at Cartha.
gena he stated that commodore Decatur
| had pledged his honor TO convey her IN
Alglers and unless she was delivered up.
he would or could not consider the treaty
as binding. The Algerine squadron con-
