"West India produce is now on the rise, and very little in the market except what belongs to Mr. Eaton, who returned from Leghorn on the 12th of March. One reason of our laying still here is, the prospect of a rupture between this Regency and the Dey of Algiers. This circumstance may prove favorable to us: When Rogues fall out, honest men stand a better chance. The Dey of Algiers has forbidden his subjects trading with this Regency on pain of death."
