"In the months of May la ft the EngliA 'C-unfuJ at Algiets took upon him to conclude a truce between Portugal and Algiers, which was ratified without either any authority orin firtJclion given on the part of the Court of L lbon. By this treaty the-Algerines were permitted to enter all the Portugele ports, and in confequence took feveral rich American pri zes.

Of all the allies of England Holland was the inott unfortunate j not con tent with T iming a Viceroy therv, at well as in Dublin, and aioie defirous of her money than caring for the liberties of her people, Ae was made the pretext for war with France, and the opening-of the Scheldt, which Britain had fecn with fo little emotion a few years before was made jthe lubject of the rupture." 44 It is an egregious error to thinkr that En gland is omnipotent.

Tuefday a meeting of the Whig Club was held at the Crown and Anchor tx vern. It was the moft numerous ever witnelTed at thisfeafon of the year. Mr. Erfkine a.ddretled the meeting, exhorting them' to perievere in thofe efforts for the repeal of the late a&s, which they .had fo aufpicioufly began. No publication has been read with more admiration, than the late fpeechpf Gen. Wafhington ; temperate, hold, mo derate and humane."

While lhe appealed thus moderate Ae was negociating with Mr. )ay, and has now. figned a treaty, which, whenrried into effect, will relieve tl em from the danger of an armed league, and will permit her to jean the heavier on the other two powers.
