Notwithstanding the Infe reverses, vvr hear, from tcry authentic ^onrccs, that thfi contest between Spain and her colonies is likely to become more s+ri- cus than ever. Our ministers mu.st, erelong, make their option between thr friendship of Ferdinand find the eommeree of South America. Tiie po¬ licy of the United Stated and the course of events will not allow us to retain both, if we aspire to thr* honour of purse bearer aita adviser of his Catho¬ lic Majesty, we must renouuee the pro- f:t of nil ro'nmorcial intercourse With his revolted dominions. Our ministry as is usual with them, will ptobably prefer the smiles and compliments of a legitimate Bourbon to the real and substantial interests of Great Britain and h^r commerce* Perhaps British ireasure is to be expended for the pur¬ pose of enabling Ferdinand to exclude our manufactures from America ns he has done from Spanish markets. A re¬ monstrance from Ihe great nobility and placemen against such flagrant impoli¬ cy would do more to relieve V\e manu¬ factures than twenty subscriptions. LONDON, Oct. 12. The Dey of Algiers, it would ap- pear, by the French papers, saems to be very angry that it should be suppo¬ sed he has been conquered by the late British expedition, which gave him so exquisite a lesson of English fighting. Jle has addressed himself to his people, and with as much modesty as truth, has said to them "No, we have not been conquered ;" and insinuated that there, hftd been treachery in his army which had proved fatal to him. Re¬ solved to avenge himself on the guilty, or those he has though fit to single out as such, he has not failed to I * !^Cn his character by having thorn boh, aded, without allowing them to urge any thing in their defence. From all ac¬ counts, many of Us officer* h*ve fallen |MM-pW\-—Workmen have been ern. jilowd from day to day in repairing the'daroagp^ *u>ta*ned by the fortified fions a d it Is stated in a short time all the tnischii f which was don<? bj th| English expedition will be no more felt nor remembered. The kind of braving the storm which baa visited Alaiers may answev some temporary and dastardly object; but' tt will not do awny the fact that proud and utxtait Atgerines hive received 1 Id w f> >m which tltcy will never reco, vcr to tarry on the wanton and piratic, al conduct which has been so lone 1 disgrace to human nature, and which has at last called for the sifjnal punish, meni which the English expedition hat so justly bes-ovvr^d u|>on it. On Saturday last, a young man as* ecnde.d the lofty steeple of St. Niche ' las1 Church, Bristol, for the purpose of taking down the weather cock, to re¬ pair its defects. The simplicity r.fthe scaffolding which he made use "of, exci^ ted admiration.—It consisted of (wo poles, retried out from two of tbeaper. tures about midway up the: steeple, al cross which two planks were laid, and from thence he ascended by a ladder, confined to the steeple by spiral rope* The most perilous part of the perform¬ ance was a leap which he was actually obliged to make, from the top of the 'adder, to catch hold of the iron cross- Had he failed !—But ho succeeded^ and seatiag himself astride, took offthe cock, which be wared over his head io triumph two or fhree times, and then descended with hi* prize. GLASGOW, Oct. 15. The reader will have much satisfac¬ tion in remarking) from official disclo¬ sures, that the revenue during the last quarter has not been Romaterially inw paired as might have been apprehended from the embarrassment* of trade. The produce of the consolidated fund for throe months, ending on the 10th Oc¬ tober, was ^10,160,000; leaving a surplus, alter defraying the charge, or £M ,010,000. There was a diminution in the customs of £315*000 compared with the seme period of last year. For the rest of ihe items, the deficiencies of some were, made good by the excels w others.
