Vetdiet. Accidental Death. ' M. RoCAPVERTE, Mexican Charge d'Affisi-res, has just received the official intelligence that 500,000 dollars were lying, all ready packed, at Vera Cruz ; and alms, that his Goverment advise him that a further remittance was preparing, and a part of which would very probably be in time to catch the frigate; at all events, not less than 500,000 would be sent by the above conveyance.

Extract of a private letter from Algiers, dated September 9 By the time you receive this, you will have heard of the depredations committed by the Algel Inc cruisers on flags of Powers in amity with the Regency. The first was upon a large Dutch ship, laden with logwood, for English and American account, from Campeachy, bound to Marseilles, and detained for want of a Mediterranean pass. No sooner had this vessel been released, through the united efforts of the Dutch, American, and British Consuls, than in comes an lonian ship, bound from Zante to Leghorn, with a cargo of Valencia wool, &c. detained for the same cause, thus taking the bull by the horns at once. R. M. THOMAS, Esq. our Pro-consul, sent in a remonstrance to the Government, which was productive of the desired effect, the Dey having not only ordered restoration of the ship and cargo, but indemnity for demurrage, loss of market, and every other damage resulting from the detention. Two Roman prizes have lately come in-:-one a very rich one, laden at Genoa for Civita Vecchia, supposed to be on Genoese account. It has, however, been sold, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Sardinian Consul. We have beard from Tripoli, that a strong report—nay, almo.t an authenticated ore—had arrived there of poor Major LAING, and all his party, having been murdered by one of the tribes in the desert called Twarnies. What a melancholy catastrophe, if true! He married the Consul's (Colonel WARRINGTON'S) daughter the day before he set off on his expedition." A.
