New-Bedford. June.
A letter has been received from William Wiltshire, Esq. dated Mogadore, April 17.
In which he mentions his expecting in a few days an express from Wadinoon with terms for the redemption of Lemuel Gifford, late of the brig Mary of this port, wrecked about 12 months since on the coast of Barbary. He also enclosed a letter he had received from Gifford, who informed that he was seventy-five days with Job Miller, who was shot by the natives and his thigh broken; that when he left, Miller was not able to walk. Gifford said he had been kept by Hamet about three months, who employed him twenty-seven days driving camels from the south, and forty days digging up bushes. He had changed masters, and had been employed by his new master four days out of nine in backing mud; he had given him a pair of shoes and a shirt, but kept him at very hard service. We sincerely hope it will not be long before both Gifford and Miller will be restored to their country and their friends.
