LEGHORN, (Italy) March 8. The Capt. of a Ragufan vefiel ar rived here from Bonne, in Barbary, with a cargo of wheat, relates, that the Algeritie cruisers having taken 8 Dutch flu'ps, carried them on the Jth of Feb. into Algiers, but that the Dey immediately ordered them to be released, that they might pi o ceed to their refpeftive places of dellination, because the term of 30 days, fixed by his Excellency for the commencement of hostilities, were not then expired ; and that the Vi kil Hadgi, of the Marine, a sworn enemy to the Chriltians, had open ly disapproved of this generous ac tion, and had incited theTurksand Moors to condemn it so much, that the Reys Selemi, a renegado Jew, said publickly that to release tliefe prizes was very unjust—that they exposed their lives by going out to cruise—and that now, when they had the good fortune to take some prizes, his Excellency had set (hem at liberty. The Dey, being inform ed of thi9 behavionr, fell into a vi olent paflion, and ordered the Vikil Hadgi to cause the mutinous Reys Selemi to be immediately beheaded. The Vikil Hadgi instead of execut ing the order, concealed the crimi nal on board a corlair ; but his Ex cellency was so much irritated that he wilhed to fend the Vikil Hadgi to the prison of D.afarcagi, to be there strangled. The Dey, howe ver, on the prefling intreaties of his wife, and the wife of the Vikil Had gi, filler to the former, gave hiin his life, but condemned him to ex ile ;—and the sentence was imme diately executed, the criminal be ing put on board a Spanish Ihip, which was instantly obliged to set fail. This disgrace of the declared enemy of the Christians, has greatly rejoiced the ConfuJs of commercial nations at Algiers ; and what adds to their pleasure is, that the vacant post of the Vikil Hadgi. has been given by the Dey to his nephew, a young Turk, formerly from the Le vant, and who is of a very amiable character. The Port Captain has also been disgraced, and his place supplied by another. BOSTON, April 8. A correspondent, who is a native of the United Netherlands, wishes to remind the Americans, that his country is the friend and ally of the United States ; that (he ailifted them in the war, with money, &c. and that (he now wilhes to live in perfect amity and good fellowfhip with them ; and to inquire, with what propriety they can wi(h that her territory may be overrun, her towns burnt, and her property de li royed ? In a Liverpool paper of March 25th, are accounts of four privateers and lixteen merchantmen, taken by the British and Spanish (hips of war, and carried into various ports. The fame paper contains accounts of eighteen Engli(h merchantmen be ing taken and carried into France. These are all in one paper. We have seen a letter just receiv ed from Paris, which mentions that the lady of that unfortunate friend to America, the Marquis de la Fay ette, may be soon expected to fail for the United States—where (he will receive a cordial welcome. Capt. Davis, when he failed from England, had fafe paflports from the AmbalTador of the United States, countersigned by the American Con sul there, both in the English and French languages.

The following chara&er of the above work, is given in the Review of the MaJJackvfetts Ma gazine, for Jan. 1793 : u This is a very ufeful work, and is no ill proof of the judgment and industry of the author. The rules are laid down with propriety, and the examples annexed are fufßcient for their il lustration. One part of the work deftrves par ticular commendation. We mean that which the author stiles ** Mercantile Arithmeticlt occupies a considerable portion of his book, but not more than its importance will juftify. We would recommend to the young Arithmetician to pay a particular attention to this branch. He will find its principles well explained And Qiould he make himfelf master of them, he will always have reason to acknowledge his obliga tion to the judicious and laborious author. We cannot but congratulate the rising generation on account of the many ufeful productions which have lately appeared ; and in which their im provement has been principally confuked.— Among those produ£l*ons we mud place this treatise of Arithmetic. We should be wanting in justice to the author, should we not acknow ledge that his work is in reality that which its title imports—The Preceptor's Assistant, or Student's Guide." 5*,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10, coo 1 o,oco IOiOOO 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 20,090 150,000 Dollars 350,000 By Thomas Dobfon, »ookJelUr y at the Stone- Hou ft, in Second Jlrtet % Phi LADE L PHI A, VOLUME VIII, OP ENCYCLOPEDIA: or, a DICTIONARY or ARTS, SCIENCES, and MISCELLANEOUS LITERATURE, On a Plan entirely new : RT "WHICH TH* DlFFF.kknt SCIENCES AND ARTS arc digested into the Form of Diftinft, TREATISES or SYSTEMS : THIS VOLUME CONTAINS AN Account of the Cape of Good Hope, Grafting, Universal Grammar, Grafles, Greece, Greenland, Guam, Guinea, Gunnery, Happiness, Harmony, Heat, Hepatic-Air, He Holland, Horse, Horfcmanfhip, Hottentots, Hunting, Husbandry, Hydrometer, with a great variety of Biographical and Miscellaneous Arti cles.
