LONDON, July 21 . A letter from Vienne of
the 4th iaft. by the mail brings pleasing intel

an exaggerated account of the news brought by
the last messenger, and publilhed 5 days ago.

at Lord Minto's from Cohftantfaople, who

outbe pint of following the example of Cairo.
The garrifoo of that place is well supplied with
provisions, but is in want of water, & the Turks
were already in possession of the outer harbour

6000 men, occupied the entrenched
camp before Alexandria. He kept
1500 men foraging to procure provi

Had it not been for the division of
the French Generals, the battle of the
21st of March would have entirely des
troyed the English army. Had it not
been for the divisions of the French
Generals, the English never would had
any success ; for the soldiers, full of
courage and devotion to the glory of
the nation, confider their lives as no
thing. There are no facrifices which
they are not ready to make, to deserve
the laurels of vi&ory. When com
munication is re-established between
France and the army of the East, and
when Government shall be enabled to
judge with certainty of the condud of
the different officers, all offences a,

We this day complete Mr. Beckley's Oration—
Our readers are solicited to re peruse this com
preherfive writing—ls it be alked, Who is this
Mr. Beetle, ? We answer, He was for a number
of years Clerk to the House of Representatives
in Congress— till the Federal mania rendered it
necessary to proscribe him, on account of his Re
publican principles ; and to effed his removal
all the forces of the British faaion were so in
dispensable, that a Jick member of Congress,
(John Wilkes Kittery) left his bed, and trav^
elled from Lancaster to Philadelphia, at the
risk of his life, to vote against Mr. Beckley ! by
whole vote he loft the office of Clerk in 1797,
which he had sustained with integrity from the
commencement of the federal government !—
Was this taking from a man his " LIFE ES
TATE," Americanos ?*' Or "was it only the
love of order, that urged the measure? Then
truly, Federalijm was in vogue. Mr. Beckley
is intimately acquainted with the schemes he
delineates. He is a man of highcharaaer. He
speaks a language plain and bold. He gives
us his name. He does nol, like the cowardly
Southcarolina Americans, screen himfelf under
a fiaitious falfely- applied signature ; nor deal
in base, malignant, affaffin-hke charges, with a
view to encourage in the people a spirit of mean
fubmiflion to aristocratic usurpation ! Coun
trymen ! decide for yourselves 1

Departed this life, on Monday night last, and
yesterday was committed to the place appointed
for all the living, Mr. Edward Abbott, in the
73d year of his age. He was for many years
a reputable member of the Church ; sustained
the character of an hooeft man ; and departed
so quiet jefignation to the Will of Heaven, in
the animating hope of spending a blefled eter
nity with his afeended Lord. Numerous rel
atives flied the tear of sorrow on his mortality,
but the belief of his happy immortality will give
them the oil of j, for mearning.

Tuefday evening last, rode against a
cow, when his horle falling violently

He was a stranger, he came into Sharon in Ju

him some money, which he had laid out in W.
