It appears that the Dey of Algiers had not, as late as the 25thFebruary, made the whole of the concessions required of him by the British government, in consequence of which, the British Admiral continued with his fleet oflf Algiers and maintained a strict blockade. On the first appearance of this fleet, the Dey had ordered some European captives, who bad previously been treated as slaves, to be placed
;on the footing of prisoners ot war.- 1 he Dutch squadron at the Balearic Islands,
had sailed to commence hostilities against the Algerines as allies of Spain and it

(from th' N a t hiri a 1 Republican.) CLAY IN NEW-YORK. The extraordinary etl'orts which have lately been made by the friends of Mr. Cla , in this section of the Union, to induce the people to believe that New-York will support that candidate for the Presidency, is either a gross dec eption practised upon the public, or they have been grossly deceived themselves, bv some politic al impostor of that state. The nomination of Col. Young, heretofore the friend of Mr. Clay as a candidates for governor, has been urged as com hisive evidence that New-York would give her Electoral votes to that gentleman. But so far from this being
i even pruhublc, it is most positively asserted
in many ot tin; papers ot that stale, that thi.-. nomination has been made with a viewto strengthen the force of Mr. Cnmfjrrf, and is the result of a corrupt bargain between the friends of Col. Young and the Crawfordiles-. The New York American says, 4that Mr. Young himself has been a party to such bargainings we do not assert, nor indeed is it material to inquire; sulikient is the fuel, that he is the instru

TIIE A. B. PLOT. Our readers no doubt will rc collect the excitement occasioned in Congress about a year ago, by several letters signed A B charging Mr. Crawford w ith ha ing suppressed certain documents. Two successive committees were appointed to investigatethe subject, which they did, and after much examination and wrangling, the matter was dropped without ascertaining the author of the letters, or coming to any very satisfactory conclusion. It was however the opinion of the committees, that Mr, Crawford was blameless. This subje ct is again revived, under iroumstaiiccs calculate el to pnalueo still greater exciteme nt aral animosity. Mr. Crawjord, in a late; inmunie ation to tl.e Speaker of the House, transmitting copies ot a correspondence relative to de pesitef. in the Western Banks, aliinneel that a ea r tain letter (vs hie h GovernorEdwards,w hen called before the (a nunittee last winte r, testified had been sent on by the bank r! Edwarelsville to the Secretary 'a depart merit,) w as not on the lib s in his oflicr.

The; affair occasions much speculation at 'Washington. Both parties are blamed. The memorial has been referred to a select cumimU-jCj with powi r

will submit to support the candidate ( t' sixty men banded together for the ntifn,Un, of an object to which three-fourths of the ) arc opposed, namely, the support of Mr Crarifortl and JMonsieur Gullutin?- In t'.(! r.--mcan time we repeat, that of all the cr P rupt scenes, of which Albany has been the c theatre, and the black catalogue is r,a C small, none ever exceeded, in open shr-ii x less profirwq;, that which led to the uoini. 1 nation of Mr. Young, and a.s such it shall be plainly exposed." An Albany paper in- l' forms us that Col. Young has ac cepte d this ?T -nomination, notwithstanding he; had i. r. duced his friends to believe that he woukj not; but that he cannot be elected. a addition to the above, it appears to be the I general opinion in that state, that the V
irienelsof (. ol. V oung,(heretofore the advo cates of 3Ir. Clav) have rone over to Cran !
ford with an express ? aiders landing that the ? 5
are to unite with the caucus faction, ai.d give the Presidential votes of New-York to the Georgia candidate. This i- also manifest from the fact, that those papers which before supported Mr. Clay, are now either silent as to his pretensions to the Presidency, or have come out in open hostility to him. In a late Albany Gazette, which heretofore advocated Mr. Clay more than any other candidate, we now find the following language: 'It is high time for Mr. Clay's friends to give up the hop?h ;j attempts toelevatehim to the Presidential
chair. For Mr. Clay's talents we feel a corresponding respect, but they are rather too much of the fumoso kind to be popular in our cool region of deliberation and ca; tious policy. Whatever we once thought of his judgment, w e confess, that one remark in his ugreat speech,'' on the Tariif, has not a little excited our doubt ofhis political sagacity. lie. there expresses hii admiration of the poor laws of England, and the system of poor rates. It isahimt universally acknowledged bv wi iters oa political economy, and by the; most sensible men in England, that it is a system fraught with evil and corruption. We trust in Ifeaven, that this country m:iy never know from experience the evil tf having one tenth of its population supported by the public. If Mr. Cloy think; Ilnglih pauperism a pleasant sul jid of temptation we trust he will be the lutt niuri. to receive northern support.' This is the language of a paper, and we will venture to say, of a larc prom-iion of the citizens of New-York. W here thii is Mr. Clay's force or popularity in that state? Not with people (or they have ne ver discovered the least disposition to siippoit him. The inference' then is, that it rests with a few corrupt and re-tless politic'iars who seem determined to make the l t possible bargain for the msedves, and who have already given, granted, bargained,, aliened and sold, their in.luence and their rights to the desperate and unprinciphd aristocracy of William JL Crawford. The next time the friends of Mr. Clay come forward with assertions that New-York will support their candidate, it is to be hoped they will found them on other ru.ei better evidence, than copies of copies of letters, and those, too, anonymous.
