London, July 1 0. On lord Exmouth's visit to the Beet, he harangued the crews of the ships for a long time, holding out to them two months, additional pay and thri, immediate discharge after they had punished the Algerines. Not a volunteer was found in the whole fleet, and one of the sailors of the Boyne, ohserved to his lordship, that if the (Igerines were to be punished, it iVj- have been done during th c sen n days the fleet lutj before it It is melancholy to observe

such a general disgust amongst our brave sailors, and nothing can be so vitally interesting to this country as a parliamentary inquiry into' the general management of our navy. It is said that a second attempt to depose the Bey of Turns has proved successful and ended in putting him to death ;but that all the Christian inhabitants were massacred, to the amount of 600!

JV?.sv7?z Royalty. The f llowing anecdote will sbew, that rovaltv should not be viewed too close, if it is to become an object of reverence. Mr. Morier, formerly the Rngish cha gedearfairs in this country, has been attached to a Persian eirnassyby his government, and on his ret um to his native land, published a volume of his travels. He relates, with suitable pomp, that on his first introduction to the Persian monarch, the king seemed to move in a blaze of diani nds and jewellery. He was luminous and splendid at all points. His royal Majesty who pretends to be profoundly versed in geographyjnqoired where that st ra l -js count ry c al led A m c c a, is located ? He desired to know how people gained access to that country? Whether it was by digging down into the earth or how ? INDIAN TREATY. We are happy to announce to our fellow cifizcns, that the treaty with the Indians, which we latelv mentioned as being likely to be made, has been concluded, and the Indians have returned apparently Well satisfied with the American government ; and anxious to maintain the most friendly relations with it. We learn that they have relinquished their claim to all the lands included within the cession ofthe Sac's Foxes, which lies south of a due west line from the southern extremity of lake Michigan to the Mississippi and that they have ceded between one and two millions of a"res adjoining the tract relinquished & extending to lake Michigan which lat wasan object deemed by the government of immense importance it is reasonable therefore to expect no further difficulties or obstructions will be interposed to prevent the

surveying of the military lands in the Illinois territory and that measures will shortly be taken for rendering the communication between lake Michigan and the Illinois river at all times navigable an object which can be a complished with great facility (So a small expense. Kentucky Gaz. A Nashville paper of the 18th of September states, that the C ouncil now holding by Gen. Jackson with the Indians, is likely to be productive of no good that it had however, been ascertained, that the Cherokees bad no claim to the land lately ceded to the IL Slates, except what they had acquired by the late treaty and that their chiefs bad informed the Genera of their having!no power, but to hearhistaik a nd return home and report it to the nation. The folly and credidity of those who made the lats treaty, begins thus most strongly to appear. Besides robbing the people of Tennessee of their just right, it will be a source of indiscnation to every Kentuckian, Whd reflects, that he is in eonsequence obliged in his journeys from N. Orleans, to travel through an Indian country. when but for that measure, I.e might have soon expected to enjoy the advantages of a better road, full 300 miles

nearer, and through a civilized country. lb. DISSIPATION. The contagion of dissipated manners is so deep so wide and fatjp that if I were called upon to asj ar sign the predominant cause tlie greatest part of the misfor tunes and corruptions of the great & gay in our days I should not look for it principally in any obviously great or striking circumstance ; not in the practice of notorious vices, not originally in the dereliction of Christian principle; but I should, without hesitation, ascribe it to a growing, rCguiar systematic series of amusements ; to an incessant, boundless and not very disreputable dh-si-pation. Other corruptions, tho1 more Formidable in appearance, are yet less fatal in some resnect?.

because they leave us intervals to reflect on their turpitude, and spirit to lament their excesses; but dissipation is the more hopeless, as engrossing almost the entire life, and enervating the whole mora! and intellectual system, it fY leaves neither time for reflection, 1 nor space for self examination, nor temper for the cherishinff of nght affections, nor leisure for the operation of sound principles, nor interval for regret, nor vigor to resist temptation ; nor energy to struggle for amendment HANNAH MORE.
