Ancona, March 19—A felucca, arrived from Salonica, gives the details of the present forces of the Barbary powers. It appears from the reports of capt. Bertossi, that the Deys of Tunis and Tripoli have not made any change in their measures towards the Christian Powers; that their forces are in the same state as that in which they were at the time of Lord Exmouth's expedition; that, as for the Dey of Algiers, he has, in a great measure, repaired the fortifications of that port; and that he already reckons in his marine 18 armed brigs, which are daily exercised in his presence in the road. The troops of the country adore the Dey. They have perfectly acquired the European military tactics. The Ottoman Porte, with whom the Dey is on the best terms, will probably exert itself to undertake something against the Pashaw of Egypt.
