Mr. d'Orleans {the late Duke) delivered a

that as the Allembly had, the day before, decreed
that there was no ground to accuse him, lo it re

ground even to suspect him.

A letter from the marine minister gave inform
ation, chat the fermentation at Bred, which was
thought to have been appeased, subsisted still;
that he had discharged the crew ot the Leopard,
who had individually received from the General
Aflemblv of Sr. a certificate that they
were the Saviours of that colony, and that the
municipality of Brest: had struck medals in their
favor, which were distributed among the crew.
The Aflembly ordered this letter to the Colo
nial Committee, and directed that the President
fbould writeto the municipality ofßreft, in order
to put a flop to the delivery of the medals.
PARIS, Sept. 19.
Extract of a litter from Marfcilles, sfuguft, 30,
" A large Spanilh (hip armed, en flute, loaded
ivith cordage ancj all kinds of naval ltores, from
Cadiz, bound to Carthagena, was taken jaft as
ihe palled through the gut of Gibraltar, the be
ginning of this month, by an Algerine Rover of
56 guns. After a very desperate aiTtion of thir
teen glafl'es, flie was carried into Algiers. They
fought with equal bravery a longtime, and were
molt of the time within pistol fliot of each other,
which caused an horrid (laughter on both fides,
particularly among the pirates, who were repul
sed twice in attempting to board, with the loss
of near 100 men cut to pieces.
" Notwithstanding this dreadful carnage, the
< Barbarians made a third attempt with such irre
fiftable fury, that, in spite of all refinance, they
became conquerors. The people 011 board the
Spanilh ship behaved with the greatest bravery,
and fought with a surprising resolution. It is
laid, that the Captain and part of the crew were
Irifli, and that the former was killed by a lance
in the heat of the action. The Pirates fuffered
prodigiously in officers and men, having had all
the formerkilled,and most of the latter wound
ed ; and, their ship was so much pierced and flut
tered, that she funk as she was towing into Al-
giers
" Three days before, the above pirate was at
tacked by two armed ships of 18 guns each, under
Ruffian colours, which ihe beat off, after a very
severe conflict of an hour and twenty minutes.
In this aiftion she had her sore-topmast carried
away, and her rigging materially damaged.
" She was very audacious, and fought all the
time under the Algerine bloody flag."

a few minutes before, were on the eve of a nioft
serious and bloody conflict, became friends in an
instant, and mutually congratulated each other on
the event. The King landed in the Royal Barge,
accompanied by the officers of the fleet, and be

drawn up opposite to each other, and fired a feu
