the sh of July has been celebrated the present
year, we are happy to observe the name of Col.
JOHN LANGDON (the a&ive Whig of 1776)
among the Standing Toasts. Even where the
blind zeal of Anglo Federalism had most prevail
ed, it (could not ,eprefs the expression of those
grateful sensations, which the Spirit of this day
naturally excited in the hearts a free people to
wards their greatest benefaaors. And such, will
the Sons of Newhampfh re ever acknowledge Mr
Langdon, even though foreigners and migrant/
sh uld attempt to learn them ingratitude : Those
compatriots who witnessed his zeal in the $ revolu
tion, can never be taught to remember his patri
otism, with the cold indifference of icy-hearted
tor, tfoalijm : But, his services to his country,
ihill forever be remembered with that honenfty
of gratitude, which tends "Tofa

|C, Summary of Foreign Matters.
Portugal is the only ally which remains to En
gland on the continent, against France ; the Re
public and her allies, have proposed treaties of
peace and friendship with Portugal, which the
preponderating influence of Great Britain only,
induced her to reject = —The French and Spanish
governments have therefore long contemplated
fending an army into Portugal; which appears
now in readiness to march ; —we observe, that
Gen. Le Ciere, in reviewing a division of 10,000
men, has enjoined the officers and soldiers to con
dud with proper regard to the cuftomrand hab
its of a friendly people—recommending their at
tention to conciliate esteem and friendship— The
objed appears to be, not acquisition of territory ;
but to inp off the power of Britain, and to leave
the infatuated Mistress of tbe Ocean tbe only enemy
to contend with rraoce.
, Foreign accounts inform us, that immense pre
parations are making in France, to invade Eng
land and Ireland ; and are prosecuted with mote
vigor and zeal than ever heretofore We have
no doubt they will attempt a landing, unless En
gland will consent to negotiate a peace ; but of
this, and its success, time and the experiment
will determine—The First Consul has appeared
sincere in his advances with England for peace,
to bring about which, Mr. Otto was sent to Lon
don, but found himfelf necessitated to abandon
the objed, and return to France. We sincerely
with them a " Speed, and Honorable Peace." We
wish also, the Freedom of tbe Seas to all nations.
The following are the principal particles which
we find relative to the INVASION:
London, Ma, 28. There are strong grounds to
believe that the preparations making along the
coast of France, are intended for the invasion of
Ireland ; and we learn that government is in pef
session of decisive intelligence upon the fubjed,—
Dispatches, containing that information, were
received on the 16th inst. by admiral Cornwallis,
who immediately resumed his station off Brest,
with the Channel fleet.
A letter from Jersey Bates, that Gen. Humbert
was at St. Maloes, by order of the Fitft Consul,
making the necessary arrangements for an expe
dition ; tbat troops were hourly expeded there
from Rennes ; that several frigates were at St.
Maloes, also 75 gun boats, and flat bottomed do.
for accommodating nearly 20,000 men, with field
artillery, &c. &c. for a defeent. The tetter con
cludes thus : " Since the last reconnoitre we learq,
that the troops expected have arrived at St. Ma
loes ; that the enemy's strength had consequently
very much increased ; and that, knowing the im
mediate objed was a defeent onthefe islands, our
apprehensions, but not our fears, have also mul
tiplied with our critical emergencies."
A letter from Guernsey April 28, fays, '' I have
feen,an Englilh Captain that lately left Brest in a
cartel, who assures me that by informaton-which
he can depend upon, there are three great armies
along the enemy's coast, amounting inall to 150
thousand men ; that these will, be augmented to
at least 100 thousand more ; and that their grand
objed was the invasion of England and Ireland,
by attempting at all hazards, defeents in a varie
ty of places, so as to ensure the effed of feme —
Arrangements were making at Brest on the 20th
ult. for the accommodation of 50,000 men on the
march thither, where the First Consul was daily
expeded to review them, previous to some grand
expedition. At Havre 20,000, at St Maloes 40
thoufind, and at Granville 20,000 men are to be
stationed—making in this quarter, in toto, 130
thousand men."
By a London paragraph, of May 28, it is said, •
that dispatches were received, on the 10th, from
Egypt, which stated the English had become mas.
ters of an important height, that commanded a
part of the city of Alexandria, which Gen. Hut.
chinfon expeded to carry by storm! Tbe Englife
editor who gives tbe report, doubts its truth ! They
state also, that Gantheume's squadron was block
ed in Leghorn, on the 3d, by Sir J. B. Warren.
That reinforcements had been sent from Malta,
Gibraltar, and Minorca, to tbe British in Egypt.
That 4000 troops from the East Indies had reach
ed the Red Sea, for the English. And much is
said of the great reinforcements which both En
gland and France are fending to Egypt.
The Salem-S^mary of July 13, fays, " The
affairs of Egypt are still depending, & with equal
zeal, the Englilh and French defend the accounts
which favour their wishes. The extreme fileoce
may fatisfy us that nothing decisive has yet hap
pened. By the foreign papers we find that Presi
dent Jefferfon's speech has been translated into
foreign languages," with high compliments,
A feeond squadron destined for the Mediterra
nean, we hear, is to consist of the Constitution of
44, the Chesapeake of 44, and the Adams of 32
guns, to be joined by the Boston, of 32, after the
has conduded the new ambassador, Mr. Living
ston, to France.
In no season, perhaps, since the settlement of
our country, have the effeds of Lightning been
so frequently and extensively witnessed, as during
the present, from Maine to Kentucky, in the de
ftrudion of buildings, trees, beasts, &c. and in
endangering and many instances ending the lives
of men. We have accounts now before us, of its
fatal effe&s in Gorham, Portsmouth, Providence,
Newtown, Cincinnati, Strsfburg, (Penn.) &c.
Some persons have been killed, some very severe
ly wounded, some saved by bair-breadtb ofcapes.
The Season has been generally healthy, and tbe
profpea flattering to the industrious farmer.
