of the world will bend, against cohfcience.—
And the corruption of chriftianity is thus
accounted for : Men are given up to strong
delusion to believe a lie, because they re

ful is the issue of this delation described in
the New Testament ; which it is neither

^LONDON, JUNE 8.
By private letters from officers in the British
army at Aboukir, we tearn that the plan of opera
tions in Egypt is changed. The force which the
French have at Rhamanie, amounting to three
thoufaud armed men, is not a force collected in
the country, but is detached from the army at Al
exandria. They have left only such a garrison
there as they think fufficient to the defence of the
place ; and by polling a strong body 'of troops at
Rhamanie, they hope to be able, by means of
their cavalry, to keep the greatest part of the
Delta in their power, preserve the communica
tion with Cairo ; and be ready, in case Gantheau
nie's squadron should arrive at any point, to fa
cilitate the debarkation of the troops which they
expett, and which of course will not attempt the
port of Alexankria.
In consequence of this movement, Cen. Hutch
infan has determined to move, and in fad: to take
the field. Inflead of merely keeping his position
before Alexandria, and waiting for the arrival of
reinforcements he has resolved to attack the
French at Rhamanie, and for this purpose he has
detached Geri. Craddock with a strong body of
troops to join Gen. Spencer.—He is to follow
himfelf, and begin a regular campaign in the
field—a plan certainly more hazardous than that
of remaining at Alexandria ; but if prosperous, a
plan which is likely to bring the contest to a spee
dy conclusion.
The French are so strong in cavalry, that more
than one half of the Delta is completely in their
power; and we understand that their horse are
too powerful to be attacked by the very inferior
horse which we have been able to collect. The
war, therefore, has so far changed its charafter,
that inflead of its depending on which party (hall
firft receive fuccours, it is to depend,on the fupe-
Tiority of military (kill and valour, as well as on
the choice of battle.

PARIS, JUNE 2.
A courier extraordinary from Madrid, who ar
rived to-day at the Count of Leghorn's, has bro't
him a letter from the King of Spain, who informs
him that the left of the Spanish army have enter
ed Portugal by the bay of Badajos, following the
Cuadiano ; that it has taken Olivenza, Monte-
Maggiore, and surrounded the fortrefs of Elvas ;
the Court of Portugal hastened to fend M. de
Pinto|to demand a truce, showing his full powers
to negotiate and sign a definitive treaty ; but that
his Catholic Majesty backordered the army to con
tinue its march until, as a preliminary, an embar
go has been placed on English ships, and the Ports
of Portugal shut again* England. M.de Pinto
proceeded towards Lilbon, to wait for frefh in
inttruftions, and the army has continued its
march. , (Official.)
It is thought that Gantheum's squadron will
endeavour to avoid Sir John Warren by taking a
very Northern course—to the North, for ipftance,
of the ill Mid of "Candy ; arid that in this way it is
highly possible they may make good their land
ing.'
We are sorry to hear that Gen. Moore's wound
will oblige him to remove at least from Egypt, if
not to return home.— (Morning Chronicle.

'LATEST FROM SPAIN.
Arrived this day the lip Prudent, Captain
Crowninfhield, in thirty days from Algeziras—
Verbal information by the captain is, that a
peace has been concluded between the French &
Portuguese ; the terms of which were, that part
es the ports in Europe and the Brazils to be given
vp—eight millions of dollars to the French, and
two millions to the Spaniards ; and the English
to be expelled from their ports. The treaty was
on the point of being ratified, when an English
fleet of 14 fail appeared off Lisbon, and advised its
rejection —of course the two allied armies march
ed forward, and ere this Portugal must have fal
len. Capt. G. touched at Madeira, 27 days since,
when the inhabitants were in the utmost confter
nation.'
The French firn held Alexandria, on the 3d of
June, and no fears were entertained that it would
be obliged to surrender. - ..''
NEWS-VERY LATE.
1 By capt. Crowninfhield, from Algeziras and
Madeira, we are informed, that previous to his
failing from the former place, he saw a letter
from Genoa; dated Tune 17, to an American cap
tain at Afgeziras, which mentioned, that Five A-
African veffelshad been captured by the Tripo-
Iltan cruizers, and that two American foips were
at Genoa, arming, determined to fight their way
down the Streights# r^^^r" ^ 1
While capt. C. was at Atari two Algerine
merchant Chips were brought in by the Spanish
gun-boats, coming from Gibraltar. The com.
wander of one of them (an American !) inform
ed, that he momently expected a declaration of
War from the Dey against the lUnited States, as
fc was much exasperated Igaiofttoem. 1n con-
The benevolent and unwearied exertions
of Dr. Spalding to disarm that deadly foe
to the human race, the Small Pox, of its
malignant influence, by originating an in
oculation for the Kine Pox into this town,
ought to excite the gratitude and confidence
of all its inhabitants. For science and pro
feffonal ikill, Dr. S. bad received the most
honorable of all testimonies, the applause of
his medical brethren, before we were favor
ed with his residence among us finch which
his assiduous endeavors to alleviate the ills of
life, have demonftra'ted, that, to the acquire
ments of the mind he unites the virtues of the
heart. As he is now about proving the ef
ficacy of the kine-pox to be a fore preventative
of the small-pox, by innoculating with the
small-pox, some of his patients, who have
received the kine-pox : It is to be wished
by all the friends of humanity, that on the
proof, no one Would longer expose himfelf
or dependants to the chance of infection
from that most dreadful of all maladies the
small-pox, when it may effectually' te pre
vented, by so fafe, innocent & simple means
as inoculation with the kine-pox, which
Dr, Spalding has, to his immortal honor,
with great trouble and some expense, intro
duced among us.
-<-44Qh-A
We are happy to state that a number of
foirited voting gentlemen, who have had the
Kine Pox, were yesterday inoculated for
the Small Pox, at hospital island ; and are
to keep in the hospital with a man who has
the small pox the natural.w^y.. This will
be dire& evidence, and to us worth a thou
sand experiments made elsewhere.

A FACT.
Notwithstanding the clamours of fomean
glo-federal printers in Boston, relative to the
dismissal of a few of Mr. Adams' officers
from their employments it is a fad wor
thy of notice, that not a single officer in the
extensive State of Massachusetts has been re
moved by Mr. Jefferfon since his accession
^the chair. This is mentioned merely to
shew that their clamours are premature ; for
notwithflanding this delay, as there are ma
ny officers of Mr. Adams' creation, in that
as well as other states, who ought to have
nd Chare in the administration of a republi
can government, they undoubtedly will, as
they ought to, be removed, when thqr de
merits are properly known-
We are in a very critical situation here at this
moment. It is very uncertain, how our fate will
terminate. If the Portuguese consent to the terms
which are proposed by the French, we shall soon
have the Frenchmen here, and then we shall be
obliged to pack off, unless the English come and
take the place.

(hip from the United States, deltined tor Algiers,
(topped at Gibraltar, and intended waiting the
appearance of the American squadron in the Me
diterranean. The captain also said, that the Dey
of Tunis had very modestly made a request of the
American Consul, for 70 twenty-four pounders
from his Government —he did not politively de
mand them, but would receive them as a parti
cular mark of faiort
A Spanish gunboat, with one 24 pounder and
45 men, had captured and carried into Algeziras,
the Engiilh hired brig Peafely, of fifteen 18
pountterS, and 65 men, commanded by Lt. Le
vans, after an action of one hour and an half. In
a tew weeks after, and English polacre, the Kel
py, under the command of a young Nobleman,
being becalmed off Algeziras, was attacked by 14
gun-boats, and very gallantly beat the whole of
them off, refufing affiflance of men, &c. that was
sent him from Gibraltar. A breeze springing up
during the allion- ,the English fliip might have
easily escaped—but her commander disdained it—
threw his main topsail to the mgft, and waited
tor the enemy, Who, from the specimen they had
already received, very prudently kept at a ref
peftful distance.,
Capt. C. saw at Algeziras, a Gibraltar paper
containing intelligence from Egypt to June 4,
which mentioned, that the English army still con
tinued before Alexandria—that it had flopped all
communications from the country, and had cut
off all supplies of water by the aquedua..
Capt. C. also saw at Algeziras the Madrid
Gazette, of June 10 —15, containing the articles
of a Treaty between the Portuguese, and French
and Spaniards , by which hodilities were immedi
ately to cease—the Portuguese were to pay eight
millions of dollars to the French, and two mil
lions to the Spaniards—were to cede part of their
territory to the latter—to have their fortreffes
garrisoned by French troops, and were to exclude
the Englilh from all their ports. On the 3d of*
July, a (loop arrived at Madeira, in 3 days from
Liibon, the master of which confirmed the fore
going, and added, that the Court of Portugal had
rejected the terms, luppofed in consequence of an
English fleet appearing off Lisbon, of 14 fail of
the line—the commander of which had sent in
word that he had come, by order of his goverh
ment, to afford them protection. Hostilities im
mediately recommenced, and the English were
quitting Lilbon as faft as possible.
FROM MADEIRA—JuI, 3.
Arrived the sloop Sally, 3 days from Lilbon—
(he brings the follow ing intelligence :—That the
Portuguese are (till at war, and that there were
20,000 Frenchmen within three days march of
Lilbon, and that they had taken several forts. The
English at Lisbon have applied to Government to
know what they should do—whether they should
leave the place or hot—but they had ni answer.
Freights are very high at Lilbon, as the inhabi
tants are (hipping off their property, expelling
the French momently.

A letter from a gentleman " high in office" at
Washington, to his friend in Baltimore, fays,
" The letter which Mr. Jefferfon wrote to Thom
as Paine, was only a formal answer to a compli
mentary letter which that gentleman wrote from
France, on the triumph of Republicanism in the
United States; it contained not a syllable of in
vitation to him to return, or a single fentance on
allowing him the life of l a national frigate. It
was committed to the care of Mr. Dawson, and
he, perhaps through curiosity alone, Was induced
to deliver it in person."
