Understands that Sweden is to pay $150,000 for peace with Tripoli. “The J. Adams calld at Malaga & met Capt: Murray who orderd her here for to take up a supply of Provisions, is arrived & will proceed in 3 or 4 days for Malaga & Malta.” Commodore Morris left Leghorn on 4 Nov. for Malta. No ships having arrived from Tangier, has “nothing new from that quarter.” Has received a 21 Nov. letter from Montgomery at Alicante reporting that a Swedish frigate arrived there with a convoy bound up the Mediterranean.
