"On my arrival here I found Mr. EATON, the American Consul, was gone to Leghorn in the frigate Washington, and the Doctor of the Philadelphia frigate is left here as charge d'affaires. Markets at present are very dull, owing to the peace in Europe. We have nothing to fear from the Tripolitans, as they have not at this time a corsair at sea. The Philadelphia frigate is stationed off the port of Tripoli."
