The report by th Suit qua-non from Gibraltar, (Oct, aoth) via Malaga, that the Dcy of Algiers had been beheaded for m iking a bad treaty with the U, States ; and that the A g rme fqu atlrotl had cap. tuted an American ihin and brig,

has this remark from the American Conful at Malaga : 14 This infjrmation cannot be correcl, for the Algerine fquadron re-entered the Mediterranean the l 8th ult. when they had no information of holtilities ; and it is ablolutely impoflible they could have reached Algiers, gone out again, and returned with 2 prizes, and the advice come to Gibraltar through Oran 'from whence the report came) in 12 days Malaga, Nov. 4, 1815." In contradiction to the above reRiarka of the New-York editors, we have been furnilbed with the following, from an officer of the fpu nlron, now lying in our harbour. COMMUNICATED. The Algerine War. I am induced to believe, that there is too much troth in the re port brought by the Sme-qu a-non. The information bek g derived from OraOi gives it appearance bordering on certainty. 1 hat Is a place where advices from Algiers are received regularly, and with despatch And whoever is at all acquainted with the Mahometans, knows that they are not addicted to forging and circulating reports. The letter from our Conful at Malaga, in my opinion, is no evidence agatnfi it. He fays there was not time after the return of the Algerine fquadron, lor the events to have taken place. But the Algerine force confifta of nearly 30 fail. i few the fquadron palling out th rough the Straits, which was Composed of only 9 fall. Might not the fhip and brig have been captured by fome of the veflels left at Algiers, Mr. Kirk Patrick's disbelief rs founded wholly upon the prefumptton, that their whole force had been out ol the Mediterranean. It may be relied on as a flRV, that our Conful at AigiersMaV Sh der, who Was the colleague of Com. Decatur in in iking t he treaty, cud not conlidcr die peace as permanent In Ins official capacity, he expr flfed the opinion, that the people of Algiers were fu much ditTatified with the peace, th;it on the withdrawing of our fleet from the Mediterranean, th Dey would be be hear led aud holtilities commence. Fearing this. Commodore Bainbridge left a larger force than our government had contemplated hoping by that means to keep the rettlefs fpirit of Algiers ham breaking out. tr a z New-Tarkt Dec. 2 5, Late it houj huglaud.
