Late from Malta. Boston, Jirfy 23.
Last evening arrived in the lower harbour capt.
Freeman from Trieste, via Malta, 65 days from
the latter. ^ He informs that the French have ta
ken poffetfion of Sicily and Naples, and garrison
ed all their fortreffes. and (hut the ports against
the English. This is very important to their af
fairs in Egypt ; where nothing material bad oc
curred since the hr ft of March, except the surren
der of Rosetta to the English, after a flight resist.

A letter from an American gentleman at Rot
terdam, dated the 27th of May, states, " That
Mr. Dawson was well received at Havre, and was
fainted from the forts, on his arrival ; that Mr.
Murray bad left the Hague for Paris, to meet Mr.
Dawson on th fubje& of the negotiation, which
appears in a fairway to be happily concluded."
The writer further fays, " I was treated with
much refpea as an American in France, and am
much pleased with the appearances of that beau
tiful country ; but Paris items to be the great
Magazine ot luxury, vice, and diflipation, and
on that account I left it with pleasure, and am
pituhte, to be returned to France— but
for these io days they have been silent,
and modestly insinuate that the French
were stronger than they thought For.
"By the prints, here, they have killed
more than the French had— —but the
French accounts fay, that they have kill
ed most oftheir Generals, & taken 6000
prisoners. All the English fay to that
is, that it cannot be true, because their
government has received news a day or
two after, and they are silent on the fub^
jed! But look at their new preparations!
If they had taken what they pretend to
fay, why fend thirty thousand more! It
certainly must be to take care of their
new ally, the Turks ! as they are alone.

Salem, Jul, 23. Os EGYPT. Report,
It is reported, that a vessel has arrived at Marble
head, the captain of which informs, that he spoke
a vessel from Grenock, whole captain related that
he had papers on board as late as the lift day of
May, one of which contained the following im
portant intelligence, viz. " That the English had
been defeated with great loss in Egypt, and had
been forced to re embark." Our readers can
make their own comments ; but we think the
news too good to be true. Register.
The H.rald sloop of war hat been fold for
14,100 dollars. She was purchased by Mr. De
Wolfe, of Rhodeifland. It is said she is to be cal
led the John Adams, and to be employed in the

Newyork. July 22. London papers to the 6th
tilt. inclusive, were received yesterday at the of
fice of the Mercantile Advertiser by the flip Am
bition, captain Farrier, in 40 days.
They announce the capitulation of Rosetta, in
Egypt, to the arms of the Britilh, who have also
possessed themselves of Damietta, the ancient Pe-
Jufium. The former is at the distance of 25 miles
N. E. from Alexandria, and the latter 125. It
was reported, too, private advices had reached
London, announcing the conquest of Alexandria
on the iff of May ; but, as the English govern
ment were without any intelligence on this fub
jea, it was conjeaured to be a flock jobbing re
port, circulated merely to produce an effe& on
the public funds.
We have seen letters of a very recent date from
the British dominions in Europe, which lead us
to exped a very unusual crisis speedily in differ
ent parts of that country. Some Irishmen who
offered to go in the new army to Egypt, were in
formed by the First Consul that their services
were accepted, but to be employed on a theatre
where they could ad with more gratification to
themselves, and advantage to the enterprize ; and
they were put upon a liberal establishment.

^ But few men of the common stature would
have the temerity to encounter a Goliath ; and al
though it might be deemed rather hazardous for
a musk rat to engage the lion ; yet it seems that
some of our Newhampfbire editors aspire to the box
or of Gripping the " well-earn'd fame," from the
“ Philosopher of Monticello :" Perhaps they go
on their favorite maxim, that “ the bones of the
weasel and the Mammoth are of a length ;" if so,
they are excusable for ranging tbemjelves against
Jefferson ; yet they may possibly meet some
trifling difficulties in confounding the man whom
they would fain persuade us is " fit only to dissed
butterflies !" However, we do not know a New
hampihire printer, old enough, nor quite wije en
oough, we think, to cope with the man who, 25
years ago, penned the Declaration of American
Independence—Yet perhaps some of our pith, edi
tors may succeed against him, if they persevere in
the fame track which the tories begun at the com
mencement of the late " unnatural" war which
this rebellious country held with “ Mother Britain,"
and which was begun by such faßious men as Go.
Washington, John Hancock, and others, merely
because The King iofifted upon the right to oppress

We have noticed in a certain Gazette, some ve
ry wife and learned annotations and commentaries
on The President's Reply to the Newhaven
Remonstrance : There is, however, a small mis
take made in one of those otherwise unorabtibnable
notes. We will copy Mr. Jefferfy^arama
adly, and then the note in qu^|
formatter mentioning that 4
ministration, those ^ 1
/r^ io politics, were ,xc^A
" by a steady purlnit of
whole offices of the United^^HH^lh//
by that jea&c. &c.tffltf^nroFEncerely
that unessential differe^Wnffraon Jbould have
fa# deemed fufficient to interdia half the society
from the right and the blessings of felf-govern
ment ; to proscribe them as unworthy of every
trust." This is the mild, plain and unaffeaed
language of the President ;—what does ttie Note
of this ffoal editor make of it ? in the candour
whichii truly charaaeriftic of his/rd, he alketh,
™ How can Mr. Jferjon call tbeje political differences
" uu^ential, when be bimfelf acknowledges them
Efficient " to interdia balf tbe Jociet, from the right
and blessings of felf government, and to proscribe them
as unwort, of rar, trust !" The fad is, Mr, J.
laments that Mr. Adams considered those " un
essential differences of opinion," a lufficient rea
son for proscribing all who were not of his own
political fee," as unwoi thy of every trust ;" but
the note fays that Mr. Jefferfon himfelf achowl
edges them fufficient—Thus the editorial note hap
pens to be essentially different from the Truth !
But it can't bethat the bonefi man meant to tell a
" plump lie !" he only meant to "fib a litth !"

Philadelphia, July 23.
The BriPJk in Possession of all Egypt !
This was the cry four weeks ago— But the report
now is, that every British soldier in Egypt, not a
prisoner, is in pofleffion of from five to fix feet in
length of the country. ^ A passenger i 1 the Pa.
ragon, from Bourdeaux the 13th of June, states,
that the British had been driven off Egypt.
Fro, Nroyork, July 21. "We have had two
arrivals from Europe—but attempts were made to
suppress the news, which has nevertheless leaked
out— Mr. has informed us, that the British

Extraa of a letter from an officer of the American Na.
v,, at Baltimore, to a friend in this town.
" This city is at present unusually healthy, con
fideriog the extreme heat and drought of the sea
son, not having any rain for federal weeks ; which
makes the dust very troublesome—this, added to
the mufquitoes and methodist preachers by night,
are the greatest inconveniences we have to en
counter— the latter are now multiplied to an al
arming degree, insomuch that it is difficult for
peaceable, well difpofedChriftians to sleep in their
beds, for their turbulent and vociferous declara
tions of Piety—Such is their presumption, that
they intrude themselves into houses, wherever
they find a woman weak enough to answer their
purposes, and by filling their imaginations with
the most terrifying images, seldom fail of putting
them into byfteric fits, which they confider the
firft symptoms bf Conversion She is then sur
rounded by a whole gang, who keep such a bawl
ing about her, that it is rarely the poor woman
has time to reflea on the absurdity of her con
dua— Many masters of vessels on returning from
sea, have found their wives bewitched in this
manner—andkmoft men of spirit now keep a cow
lkin in their houses, which some have exercised on
these holy impostors, with so severe a vengeance,
as to make them a litter more cautious in their
visitations."

The Federalists will never forgive Mr. Jeffer
fon, for afting such questions as these—" Does it
violate their equal rights, to assert some rights in
the Majority also ? Can they not harmonize in
society, unless they have every thing in their own
hands These are " killing interrogatories."
Most of the American People are genuine De
mocratic Republicans, and Federalists in the true
import of the Word ; that is, they are for fopport
ing the Federal Constitution in its present repub
lican Spirit and form—but there never was a ma
jority of them of the jea called federalifa. Tho'
they were willing to honor an Adams for his
former patriotism, they did not approve his whole
administration ; The PEOPLE did not approve
of his proscribing their " old tried friends," the
Whigs of the Revolution, “ as unworthy of eve
ry trust !" They were also willing, and not only
willing but DETERMINED, to remember Mr.
Jefferson, and to honor him with the fame
confidence with which a great and free nation had
honored a Washington and an Adams. A
majority of the People were always Republicans ;
and now, that they have " burst open the doors
of honor and confidence to those whose opinions
they more approved now that the Republican
majority have taken the administration of the go
vernment into their own hands, can it be called
'' political intollerance" for this majority to " claim
a proportionate share in the direction of the pub
lic affairs r" More than half the fubordioate of
fices are still in the hands of the federal/Tariff .•
It is a fundamental principle with Republicans,
that The Majority shall govern.
