BOSTON, JULY 28.
By the arrival at this port yesterday of the brig Aurelia, direct from Algiers in 56 days, we learn that on the 9th of May a frigate arrived at Algiers from Constantinople, a present from the Grand Seignor to the Bashaw. A few days previous, a large polacre of about 400 tons arrived from the same place, loaded with munitions of war of every description. The Grand Seignor has paid many and high compliments to the Bashaw for the firmness and energetic conduct he has displayed during the late unhappy state of his affairs, and has presented him with a captain's dress on this occasion, which is one of the greatest possible honors. On the 11th, 13th and 14th of May, the greatest rejoicings were evinced in consequence of these honors being paid his Highness by the Grand Seignor. Salutes of shotted cannon were made on these days three times a day, from more than 600 pieces of cannon. On the 28th May, an Algerine brig and schooner sailed on a cruize; against what nation is not yet known; their navy may now consist of one frigate, two sloops of war, lately arrived from Constantinople; (repairing) one sloop of war on the stocks; building, three 18 gun-brigs, and one 18 gun schr. at sea. On the 29th May, a Tuscan Ambassador arrived at Algiers for the purpose of negociating a peace for that Dukedom. The American Consul left Algiers the 10th of May on board the frigate United States on a visit to Tripoli and Tunis.
