By the Prosperity, Capt. Jaughin, which arrived yesterday in 32 days from Gibraltar, we learn that the United States frigates John Adams and Adams were both there. Our consul at that place informed Capt. J. that the United States frigate Constellation had carried away her foremast in a gale of wind, and was repairing at Malaga.
The ship Enterprise, of this port, chartered by government, had arrived at Gibraltar with provisions for our vessels of war, four days before the Prosperity sailed.
A Tripolitan corsair of 20 guns, lay there, and was closely watched by the Adams, which lay at Algiers.
We are also informed that a great number of British troops under command of General Knox, had arrived at Gibraltar and proceeded up the Mediterranean for Malta.
