Five Spaniards were afterwards brought by the Mutine, from Oran to Gibraltar ; and fifty slaves had been sent from Oran to Algiers, previously to the Mutine's arrival, to be conveyed to their respective homes, through the medium of the British Consul. All the slaves therefore amounted to eleven hundred and thirty-eight, besides those of Constantina, and Bona, -who were seventy-three in number; making in the whole, twelve hundred and eleven slaves. Besides these, there were released by Lord Exmo...uth on his first visit to Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli, seventeen hundred and ninety-two slaves ; making a grand total of thirty hun- dred and three helpless victims restored from slavish durance, to liberty. "This was the number of slaves we knew of ; and if in process of time, we or our consul come to understand that any other slave is detained in any part of the kingdom of Algiers, the Dey is obliged to produce him, and give him up to the British Consul. " Saturday, 31st. In the morning, a Neapolitan slave came on board the Queen Charlotte, and told me that his son, a little boy eight years old, was detained by a lady, in the city of Algiers, and that she had made him a Mahometan.
