War with Algiers reported by American consul
Aldiford informs the Commercial and Navy Agency in Marseilles that Captain Sheffield of the MaryAnn reports a war between the Regency of Algiers and the United States. A 44 gun Algerine frigate captured his ship, five Americans taken, four Turks drowned, and Sheffield retook his vessel. A brig Violer was also seized nearby. The British consul general’s protection of these depredations is cited, and a US Tunis consul warns masters to beware.
