On 1 he iBriwwvLSRytT M, having
received on board a Mr.fiartwright, late .
Ie from England, we parted from our
fqu euVony then off Cape San Scbaftiano,
nd at d-y break on the jd day of Jann
try-arrived off Algiers. The Rev, Dr.
Scott, cjiaplain ot the Victory, and the
Rev. Mr. Evans f the Superb, (both con
verfani jn the Italian language,) went a
fhore with lie lit. Butler enrly in the fore
noon, 8c were foon conduced into the pre.
.ler.ee of the Dey. After the ufual filia
tion of (hskttig hands, (a privilege allowed
to none but . Britih fubjefts,) Dr. Scott
proceeded to read to him Lord Nellon's
letter, which was in Italian : it was fur-,
ther explained,' cither in the Turkifh" or
in the Morifco language, by Mr. Bufnach,
a very opulent merchant, chief of the Jew
ih inhabitants, and pofltiT d of great in
fluence at Algiers. His hignefs the Dey
exprrlXed his fcf'sfac'lion, in the frrongeft
term at our Inn-ipg brought with us a
conful; but on hearing that part of the
letter which Dated theconditionson w Men
tion e he could ever be landed, he not on1
ty vehemently, prbtefted that he would ne
ver comply -with them,-but evenly lineetT
irtoppofiiion a ckum oc his partj wh;ch7 as ;
far as I eatV leani, was never infilled on
when we were there in January'ahd" Jtlne

on board, ihorder to communicate to capt.
Keats, the rclult of the audience, and the
next morning we went a (bo re again, with
further iriftrucVions, but all tending inva.
riahly, (if we may judge from the final if
foe '.of' the embaffy,) to the unconditional
aiiam mens-oft h lm rad f eadf tJeliyeKT

"bitn actively and ufefully engaged in irn
preffing on the minds of the mindter, th.it
nothing die than an ablohtte compliance
vtth tht ultimatum propofed, could m
lure a-continnarue of that amiry which .
l.ad Pi long prevailed between his Britan
nic 01 Jelly and the kingdom of Algiers.-
On the 5'h.apt. Kats landed and had an,
audience ot the Day. I -am inclined to be
lieve it was a ttmpcttnitf one, but that it
finely had a good ffet." On the morrow
he returned to the charge, and," after'a
