[From thc Hompirefr4P7-1 On .onday t nin,48,to, .B.t at- nvied from the lediterraneast station (where-she had:been wety aciC tirdly employed Uprards of three years), to be paid off. The in- telligene of most proiine~t interest from that quarter is what re- lates to the disptutc with Algiers. The letter which we sulbjoln upon this subject, is in lenour the same as several others with which we have been favoured : "Off Algiers, IMlay 28,1824. " The present captionts war with the D6y of Algiers (for such it is considered here) is, I perceive by the papers, vet misumlerstood. It is stated in one of the articles for the Dey's sienature, as an apology for the outrage saidt,te have been committed in breaking open the Consul's house, (which the Dey oitively denies, and de- clares that his. ALr.M1'Donald's, ownclerkopened the door, and told the soldiers to go in), for the future, the flag should be hoisted on the town-houseas well as thecountry one. Te this demandtheVeyre- monstrated, inasmuch as it would become a question of religion among his subjects ; consequently, he could not answer for the safety of the Consul, if it was hoisted. This he stated himself in a letter to Lord Bathurst; at the same time he agreed to sipn tile wholeof the article presented, and denied any objection having becn made to Lord Exmouth's treaty but he could not, after the repeated ill treatments he had experiensed from Mlr. 32'Ionald2 allow him to return; but any person beside, " a child," he wiU respect, that England may send. This is the absiurd contention to cause another bombardment. Further, there Is no obection whatever to our of- ficers wearing their swords in the Devspreseace, for the Admiral (Sir Harry Neale), and his Captain (Sir Charles Burrard), a lieute- nant, and tworridshipmen, waited on the Dey, with their swords on and so little did the Dey think his objection to Air. AM'Donald would be considered of any consequence? that he hadl himsclf arrang- ed the difPerent salutes, as a proof of his friendly disposition ; but when the proposal was nmade for the Consul to land again, and in- sisted on as a sinc qya non, the Dey broke into a passion, and thus ended the interview and negotiation. There is much ex- pected from the bonmbs, but: we ought to expect more frotim the disposition of his Janissaries: for if thev do not cut off his head, they will laugh at your bombs. Since Lord Exmoatl was hcre, they have strengthened those weak points his Lordshilp discovered, with three additional batteries, each tveo tier-on the lower 18 guns, and on the up er Ifi. It is not supposed tie ships will have any thing to do with the attacks; nor indeed would it be at all prudent. They are to anekor near the bombs, to give them aSsistance only, if' necessarv. " Thc Dev declares that if we bomnbard the town,he I will senu all the inhabitaiits out of it, .and hold out to the last.!' re fully expect, however, that as soon as the other bombs arrive from England (the Terror, Captain Arbuthinott, is arrived), we shall begin to bombard. The Niajd is blockading Bona; the Ranger blockading Oran; the Active and Glasgore blockading Algiers * the Revenge is at Alalta; the ?pZille, at Smnyrna; the Rnry4zs, on passage to Naples, Leg- horn, and Genoa; thle Hd is gone up to Alexandria; the Pandora and Al,zcrit,j are employed convoying between Mlalta and Gibral- tar. The crror ist gone toGibraltar." _ . dLGtRR5.
