London arid the dey of Algiers have 
been amicably settled. The Algerines 
are allowed to bring and sell their prizes 
in the ports of Corsica, from whence a 
packet is to sail monthly to carry on a 
regular correspondence with the coast of 
Africa, for the benefit of commerce, 
and the convenience of individuals. The 
English are not permitted under any 
pretence whatever, to seize upon the 
property on board of. Algerine vessels ; 
the decision of doubtful cases 1s to be re- 
fered to the dey. The Algerines, on 
their part, agree to the liberation of all 
the Corsican slaves, with the permission 
to fish for coral in future on the coast of 
Barbary. In consequence of which, and 
according to contract, the dey draws 
upon the viceroy of Corsica for 179,000 
teces, exclusive of 24,000, as payment 
Fos the lading of a vessel under Swedish 
colours, consisting of grain, taken by the 
English; besides this, the English have 
presented the dey with a xebeck of 18 
guns, provided with oars.
