Emjassy to ALCiERS.liaving been favored with the .following account of the late embassy, which terminated in the rc establish nicnt of a (rood understating be tween the Dey and Regency of Algiers, writ ten by a gentleman on hoard his majesty's .ship Superb, we hasten to lay it before our readers. ' - " On the 28th of December last, having re ceived on board a Mr. Cartwright, lately from England, we parted fronQur squadron then olf Cape' San Sebasliano, and at day break on the 3d ot January arrived off Algiers The Ucv. Dr. Scott, chaplain of the Victory, and the Kev.Mr. Evans of the Superb, (both conversant in the Italian language,) went ashore with lieut. Butler tally in the fore noon, and were soon conducted nto the pre si nce of the Dey. After the usual salutation of shaking hands, ( a privilege allowed to none but British subjects,) Dr. Scott proceed- dto read to him lord Ntlson s letter, which was in Italiau : it was lurthcr explained, eith er in the Turkish or in the Morisco language, by Mr. liufnuth, a wry opulent merchant, chief of the Jewish inhabitants, and possessed of i t at influence at Algiers. His highness the Dcy .xpic(d his satisfaction, in the strongest um.s atcur having bro't with us a consul ; but on lull ing that part of the letter wllab stated tl.c coiiuttions on which alone he could evet be landed he not only vehement ly protected that he would never comply with tin. in, but even advanced in opposition a claim on his part, which, as far as 1 can Irain, was never iiuUted on when we were therein Januaiy and June last year. ' Nr. Evans, on tins, relumed on board, in order, to commu nicate to capt. Keats, the result of the audi- .trice andjjn4hcJoU9tingrnornitigjfi3HDL ashore again, with further Instructions, but all tending invariably, (if we may judge jiom tic biui iMU ol the embassy, to the uncon ditional attainment of the demancs, already delivered in.' Dr. Scott, in the meantime, had been actively and usefully engaged in impressing on the minds of the ministers, that nothing the than an absolute compli ance with the ultimatum proposed, could insure a continuance ot that sn.iiy which so long pi evailtd between his Britannic msjtsiy and the kingdom of Algiers. On the Sth capt. Kcairs landed end had an audience of the Dey. 1 am invlined to believe it wis a t asfrasTVovs one, but that it finally had a good t fleet. On the morrow he returned to the charge and, after a long and violent consultation in full Divan, it was st Ungth determined that his demands ought to be complied with. That night he Was under the necessity of remaining on shore. Hera 1 must cUerve, that Mr. Mount ford, secre tary to cot. Lear, the American consul, then at Malta, respecting their affsirs with Tripoli, j had, on the 3d, made an offer of his house J acd table ss long as the Superb should re- main off Algiers t his friendly and hopiu- ' ble invitation was gladly and thankfully received; it appearing by no means political ly advisctble to open the lUiglivh house. Our terms having now been fully acknow ledged to be equitable and honorable, and pi licet compliance with ihttn haviag been promised, no further Cause f 'complaint seemed ty exist i but. a setious ami unex pected obstacle Intervened at the very mov tntntthil the principal and primary object ol the tmbiMf was a!nit io be attained by vi. Tb cnteiueacc wai, that capL Kca s, aner a spiruea remonsirance, insianiiy re- turned on board. "Nearly at that: timef hav ing by means of signals made by one of boats ashore, received favorable inielligencei' and the' wind also favoring us, we came to. an, anchor, and were saluted by twenty-one guns, which compliment we immediately returned. w On the morning of the 8th " January all im pediments were removed, and the indispen sable demands first proposed being now "un conditionally acceded to, and carried - into effect, Mr. Cartwright landed abaut 'noon and was received with the usual marks of distinction, but with unusual joy, for the in- . habitants, Turks, Moors, and Jews, dread a- bove all things a war with England. He was presented by capt. Keats to the Dey, who re ceived him in a very gracious and friendly manner. The English consular house was theft thrown open, and thus was Mr Cart wright, most . honorably established vat Al giers. ; .- ,1 ' , fn J On the Uth, having taken in a plentiful supply of fresh , provisions, vegetables, kc. capt. Keats had, his audience of leave, and, in the evening we, left the Bay. T he wind proving favorable, we joined our brave com mander in chiet and the squadron at their anchorage in Madiatena Bay, Sardaniaearly on the 15th of January. " I cannot conclude without expressing my - full conviction, that this happy termination of our differences with Algiers is to be atribu- ted to the zeal, judgment, and intrepidity ot capt. Keats, the whole tenor of whose con duct was such as to extort professions of res pect and esteem even from the ministers he treated with, at the very moment that ther ware reluctantly complying with hisdemands Calling to mind the very tenacious and 'ir ritable disposition of the Dey, biassed by pc cun'ury considerations, inflamed also by the sly insinuations and arttul intrigues ot a de signing faction, at the head of which is tho representative of Buonaparte, powerful at the. time, but whose strength is mow no more, if you consider these I say, and the many o- . ther obstacles we had to contend against, you will admit that we have accomplished a U;k Herculean. fe, ' The' Superb, you will remember, is the ship that, in the awful and memorable night of the 12th of July, 1601, (having been sent a he.td by the Admiral, the gallant Sir James . Saumarez,) singly .opened her fire oq the rear of the combined enemy, and caused the destruction of the Heal Carlos and San Her' menegildo, of 112 guns each; alter which she chased, fought, and captured Le St. An tonio, of equal force with herself. There we had an opportunity of maintaining the honor of the British flag, and we have now been the mens of hoisting it again at Algiers with increased respect and dignity After an absence of nearly four years we now na turally look with anxious hopes to that happy period which will recal us to the bosom of our friends and relatives, to our dear fire sides, in the favorable abode of happiness and liberty. . - , London, May 20.
