forced the monks into his armies. He con-

The streets of Naples are covered with be.gars

Peacock, Capt. Rodgers. The Commodore had
an interview with the Bey. who said il was
his desire to remain at peace with the United
States. We left this the 9th, aud anchored oil
Algiers the 18th. The Dey is busily employed
in repairing his batteries and building them
stronger iliau ever. The Dcy insists on rcceiv-
ing another brig, and says that he must have
one or lose his head. He gave the treaty to
the Consul some months since, ami is waiting
for the Consul to receive an answer from the
United States. II he does not get brig, lie

Shaler takes passage with us to Gibraltar.
We left Algiers on the 18th bound to- ;his
place. On the 22d off Cape de Gait, fell IN
with the United States brig Spark, and receiv-

will remain up here. The Commodore has
chartered brig to send home about 100 men,

certainty that we shall have another Algerine
war, that is, if the Dey feels inclined 10 go to
war with us. The United States is still at Ma
