cal accounts of the operation OF the English squs
dron against the Greek pirates:
The English sloop Aacriiy: captain HOPE
tombstone, sailed from Smyrna IN pursuit oil the
pirates which do such unsPeakabe INJURY TO the
mercantile marine of all nations. Tn the Sth April
the Alacrity was pursued near Ipsaia by two Greek
mistics, which mistook her for a nerchantman.-
These n,istics well manned and armed, did not
perceive their error Gas the prisoners stase) till they
were within two miles of the English sloop; they
then took TO eight; the Alacrity pursued them;
but, as the wind was very faint, the captain put
out his long boat, under the command of Mr.. Iris
cot his Ist Lieutenant, who chased the pirates Is
miles The latter being forced to run their vessel
aground on the Mole of Ipsara, took a position
among the ruins of the town, whence they com
mencsd brisk fire OF mu-ketry the English
vessel. Lieut. Trisco,t dislodged them from their
position where they left their wounded These
two mstics Hong guns of large calibre, and
were immediately burnt
:" On the following day, the English vessel was
chased near Andres By two other large misics bet
ter armed than even the others The manu,uvre
was executed, the pirates threw themselves in 4
tower which protected their vessels. But the
AIacrty having approached, kept up constant can
nonade, which covered the landing of Lieut. iris
cot and enabled him TO carry the littis for, at the
point of the bayonet. The pirates, to the number
OF 90. took to flight. These mistics were each
armed with two heavy guns; they were burnt like
the preceding.
- In these two affairs the Alacrity had three
men severly wounded. Mr.. Wheatly the I'd
Lieutenant, very dangerously burnt. The Greeks
had 10 killed, aud 10 taken prisoners. The latter
all wounded. Com Hamilton, commanding
the English naval force in the Mediterranean, gives
in his order OF the day, the greatest praise Lieut.
Tiscott.''
A letter from the Lower Elbc, dated the 23d
May, says, &c y report is this moment spread,
which, if 1t should he confirmed, would be attended
with important consequences TO the trade OF Ham
byrsh and Breemen. This report is TO the fol-
lowing effect That the Prussan Government,
seeing the perses etance oil the Government of the
Netherlands in It's refusal 10 desist from its pre-
tensions to impose arbitrary shackles The Navi-
CATION of the Rune has resolved to measures
OF retaliation; that accordingly extremely high
iupo5t duty all goods coming from Holland and
going up the Rhine, will hinder their mporla,ion
by this channel for the supply of a great part OF
Western Germany, and this maIks would then he
obliged to he furnished through the German sea
ports on the North Sea. Ii Is even affirmed hat
this will be carried into Eject the first
OF July, unlesA the Government OF the Netherlands
should resolve, before the expiration of this time,
which is peremporiiy fixed TO make The esSions
required IN diplomatic note, lately presented TO
IT,"
The Ni1ent5ars Correspondent of the goth
ul,. contains article dated Narrower, which speaks
OF the weather having, OF late, been unfav orable

very preca Iious." In consequence OF this cir
cumstance, and the state OF thn,s in Eng land, the
prices OF grain were rising. AT Maine, however,
this the case, there, from the general rains
which had fallen, abundance expected.

The Chamber oi Peers has just performed ano-

whose eloquent and luminous speeches united the
majority In favour OF justice and policy. Among
them, Baron ParquIer, Yiscount Lame, Comle Roy

fldltul power had, 10y its iresouton and doub,

was the MinistTyi tulelary power re-estabshed

che Dauphin. It's nonsense TO pretend TO adj to
the obscurty OF the Spanish by the irrespon-
sioliIty OF the Prince. The Duke Descazes at |
tackled this system, aud demonstrated that roy al ir-
responsibility was not communicated to the most
august repositories of the rights Of the throne 1t
was easy for him afterwards TO unite the senii-
ments Of the Peers with this doctrine, az the op-
Doste opinions accorded neither with the wishes
ToF the principles Of Tie Prince, nor were they
conducive 10 his glory. All the speakers rendered

respect, for the force Ofmind and goodness of heart
displayed by the Oauphin IN very difficult stua- |
non, strongly Interested the assembly. For all The
aus committed, and treasure wasted in Spain we !
nave gained the certain conviction, that mind as
wise, would one day have to control the destinies
Of our country. When the august Genetalissilno |
aHiged at lie banks ofthe Bdassoa, he saw on the
opposite BANKS OF the river tri-cooured flags and
war; and on this side confusion, Alarm threatening
rumours, incendiary antiques, famine, incapacty
and sedition. The Prince the whole danger |
and throwing himself into the arms of that sus-

led them on to Cadiz to execute the commands Of |

ct US believe that Col does not cease to protect
rance, since he gives for the past such coBso-
ii'ion' and for the future such hopes.
