Extr&a efa letter, dated Newbaven August 7.
"The state of politics here is every day altering
for the better, and though man, remain blind,
yet numbers begin to fee the true source of the e
vil, and I hope it will not be a great while before
it will be realized that there is 00 method of pro
moting religion superior to that of the laws, leav
ing it to itfelf, and that civil government is an
institution for temporal, not Spiritual concerns.
'' The filly remonstrance of the federalifts of
this town, which contained almost as many un
truths as lines, is duly appreciated by the public ;
and I believe there are very few of their party,
even of the fignersthemfelves,who are not asham
ed of it ; The firm, the dignified, the temperate
enfwer it has received, is indeed bellowed upon
an unworthy objed ; but is becoming the msfter
ly, the convinfive pen of our Jefferfon—l presume
that the federalifts, as they call themselves, will
no longer pretend to twist words from their evi
dent meaning to find out something favorable to
themselves ; nor can they pretend that Mr. Jef
ferfon wants the firmnefs requisite for his situa
tion. They find that he does not approve them,
that he does not fear them, and that however de
sirous he may be of conciliating the public mind,
he will not lacrifice his duty to please them, nor
defertthe interests of his country for tbeir benefit."

LONDON, July n. We received this morning
by express, the Paris papers to the 9th inst. They
contain more important intelligence than the Pa

EGI PT. The French government have at
length received dispatches from Egypt. The Lo

dria, which the left on the 19th of May. She
brought no details of the events that had occurred
fioce the landing of the English, because General
Menon had sent tojfe^ with these details, some
days before the Lodi (ailed. It is therefore con
jedured that they have been taken in their pas
sage. On the 19th of May, the day on which
the Lodi left Alexandria, Cairo and Alexandria
were Bill in the hands of the French. The En
glish had cut the bank of the L^ke Medie, and
;turned the waters into the lake Mareoris ; by this
means they bad inundated §0 leagues of the coun
try round Alexandria, which has considerably
strengthened their ppg ion of Aboukir, and ren
dered the French fortification of Alexandria im
pregnable. General Menou, who was in person
in that city, was abundantly provided with mili
tary stores and provision for several years.
Gantheaume's SQUADRON.
A letter from Meffina or the 27th of May
gives some details relative to Ganthume's
squadron, which paged the Straits of
Meffina on the 25th. It confided 06 4
fail of the line, twd frigates, and 2 trans
ports, and is going to Brindisi, on the
Neapolitan coast, to be reinforced by
the three Neapolitan frigates which have
been given up to France. It is also said
that it is to be joined by 4 fail of the line
and 4 frigates, which are on their pas
sage from France. The whole arma^
ment will then proceed to the Levant ;
the number of troops on board will, it is
added, amount to 12,000 men.
All the letters from Holland agree in
slating that the Batavian fleet, command
ed by Admiral de Winter, has received
orders to fail, at the firft signal. It is
expeded in consequence, that the two
tiivifions fitted out at the Texel and in
the Meuse, will not delay to effect their
junction, the English squadron under
Admiral Dickson, being too weak to
prevent that operation, whenever the
Dutch shall resolve to attempt it. It is
believed at the Hague, that the depart
ure of Gen. Angereau for Paris, has for
concert measures with the

Hurricane at New Providence. —On the
's'h July, at 12 o'clock, a tremendous
hurricane visited the Island of New
Providence. The vessels in the han
hour of Nassau, riotwithftanding their
mins and yards were struck, and all
their anchors down, drove against each
other, and came in whole firings to the
ffiore. As the tide rose the hurricane
increased in violence i$ a northerly di
reaion, and drove all the vessels on the
town fide of the harbour, and prevented
them from going to sea. A Guineaman
(P rize ) got upon the middle ground, and
turned over on her beam ends, so that the
seamen got on her fide, 250 negroes who
were fortuntely preserved by the vessel's
beating over the bank and righting.
'' The harbour resembled three torrents,
of different densities, passing with incon
ceivable velocity.—First the water,
from the accumulation at the East end
of the harbour. The foam, and spray
next forming almost an opaque cloud,
spun along with the fwifteft possible de#
gree of vifibie motion, and formed a
stratum, as it were, of 20 or 30 feet
deep ; and over that the rain palled in a
rarer medium, and in a perfedly hori#
zontal direction, and appeared incapable
of descending from its projectile veloci
ty-".
Only three vessels in the harbour rode
out the storm—the American sloop
Primrose and a Spanish vessel. 120
vessels were stranded between Evan's
hilf, and the Weftern water battery^
and several funk, and others crushed
to pieces.—The storm raged with such
violence as to carry away the greater part of the
vessels masts by the board. On ihore and in the
town the devastation was equally great ; houses
were blown down, and the fences and trees gene
rally, laid level with the ground. The aggregate
loss sustained, is estimated at not less than a hun
dred theufand pounds sterling.
