Letters from Algiers, dated Jan. 6, inform us, that peace is at last concluded between the Regency and the Court of Madrid. The Dey at first insisted, that the latter should furnish the quantity of ammunition and naval stores demanded in kind; but the Comte D'Expilly positively refused this, declaring that his Catholic Majesty could never consent to any thing more than paying the value of them in money; and at last the Dey consented to sign the treaty. The letters add, that the negotiations with his Faithful and with his Sicilian Majesty are also bringing to a conclusion. In the mean time, the little fleet of 12 corsairs, which sailed some time since, has sent in there two prizes which they took from the Neapolitans.
