TO THE CURIOUS.
A BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN LION.
To be seen every day in the week, Sundays excepted, at Mr. BARKER'S, Providence, near the Market.
THIS noble animal is between three and four feet high, measures 8 feet from nostrils to tail, is of a beautiful dun colour; 11 years old, and weighs near 500 wt.—Its legs and tail are as thick as those of a common sized ox. He was caught in the woods of Goree, in Africa, when a whelp, and brought from thence to New-York. Great attention has been paid in providing a strong substantial cage, and to have the Lion under very good command. The person who has the care of him can comb his mane, make him lie down and get up, at any time; and it is said by those who have seen lions in the Tower of London, and many parts, that he is really worth the contemplation of the curious.
Price of admittance, one quarter of a dollar, children half price.

From the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
HITHERTO the removal of Tories from office, and the appointment of Republicans in lieu of them, has been, we confess, so solitary and unfrequent, that the republicans have as great complaints to make in this respect, as the tories have for any removal at all of people of their own sentiments. It was ardently desired and confidently expected by the republicans of New-York (for of them we only speak) that by this time one half at least of the tories now in office in the United States, would have been removed; and its not being done has occasioned, we solemnly and reluctantly confess, very serious apprehensions and doubts in the public mind, which are every day increasing. Nor have we reason to believe it is otherwise throughout the United States. It is rational to suppose that those who removed John Adams from office, because of his manifold transgressions of the constitution, and his pointed hostility to liberty—those by whose exertions a standing army was disbanded—alien and sedition laws destroyed—four millions of dollars, the proceeds of oppressive taxes, cut off—that those who had occasioned the removal of capital offenders against the state, and restored the shattered constitution to its primitive condition, would naturally expect the removal of the lesser culprits in office. If this should not be the case, for what, in the name of God, have we been contending? Merely for the removal of John Adams, that Mr. Jefferson might occupy the place, which he shamefully lost? It cannot be? Those who view the republicans in this light are egregiously mistaken, and will find themselves disappointed in their erroneous calculations.
Four years of an administration, all things considered, the most expensive, the most wicked, the most turbulent, and the most destructive of national liberty and happiness ever witnessed in modern times, have convinced our republican citizens that, while a man remains in office who contributed to this state of things, to which we cannot look back but with horror, neither the constitution can be safe, nor themselves satisfied. Of this the evident sense of the country cannot be misunderstood. It has been expressed in language plain, energetic, and decisive. And an administration less plain, less energetic, and less decisive, will not satisfy the country. Temporising policies, under all the present circumstances of the United States, to say the least, will render unpopular, if not odious, an administration to which the republicans, for four years back, have been looking up as the summit of their hopes, and the conservator of their liberty. Nor will they, we are confident, be deceived. Mr. Jefferson's attachment to the constitution, and his fine sense of the necessity of obeying the voice of the people, are pledges that his administration will answer all their expectations and comport with their will.
[Republican Watch Tower.]
These "Watch Tower" blunderheads have let the cat out. It is all as we thought. The noise, the complaint, the disinterested patriotism, the violent red-hot love of liberty, the burning affection for republicanism, the adoration of Mr. Jefferson, the hatred of John Adams, the struggle, the pull, and the push, all centre in this; you are in office, and we out. We are surprised the New-York democrats should encourage such tell-tale editors in blabbing out the whole secret at once.
So solitary and unfrequent. Out with them, all together; let not a man remain in office, who is not a republican. We are many of us in desperate circumstances.
We have forsaken our business, our shops, our work-benches, our shoemaker's seats, our hatter's blocks, &c. &c. for years, with a confident expectation, that when you, Sir, was elected, we should all be fed, and clothed, and fare sumptuously, at the public expence. Alas, why this delay? If relief comes not soon, to jail we must go.—Hasten the time, Sir—else we must solemnly, though reluctantly, enquire, "for God's sake, what have we been contending for?"
Apprehensions and doubts. We begin, Sir, to apprehend that—that—that, Sir, you are about to leave us in the lurch—we might as well have been honest and federal—say, that better had it been, for possibly some of us, not much known, might have had some appointment long ere now. Besides, we should not have been obliged to wear about such ragged coats and consciences, that have attended our neglect of business for the pursuit of a fancy painted but evanescent shadow.
Manifold transgressions of the constitution. We know not what these transgressions are, but we are determined to fret and scold about something or other, a while longer yet, while there is still a glimpse of hope. We might, Sir, but we would not wish to hurt your feelings, unless you are resolved to hurt our feelings and purses too—we might, Sir, throw a whisper in your royal ear that would make you mad—we do believe John Adams as great a man as yourself—and, by the Lord, this our sincere opinion shall not slumber in secrecy much longer, unless you attend to the proper way of stopping our mouths. We are ripe for a revolt—the time is critical—pause, ponder.
Neither the constitution can be safe, nor themselves can be satisfied. Hang the constitution—we only bring this in by way of adjunct—little do we care what the constitution is, nor whether it stands, staggers or falls—the great point is—we ourselves are not satisfied.
Will render unpopular if not odious. Had we believed, Sir, that generous, patriotic and upright feelings would govern you, we would have seen you to the L—— before one of us would have lent a hand a vote in your favour. The federal printers all told us such principles would not rule your conduct—we were fools enough to credit them—but now we believe they can lie as badly as any of us. "Perhaps you have patriotism;" patriotism, ha—a stale story 'signifying nothing'—an old fashioned piece of furniture that is of no use in the mind's household—an idea, a nothing—as great a foe to worldly thrift, as virginity to a goodly increase—"a cold companion, away with it"—a pretty thing enough to talk about—to gull fools with—in theory beautiful, in practice useless—If, Sir, you have any of it we are truly sorry for you.
Necessity of obeying the voice of the people. And now, Sir, we are coming to the discussion of our rights, the rights and prerogatives of sovereignty, the sovereignty of the sovereign people. Be it known then that it is our sovereign will and pleasure that the loves and fishes shall be immediately taken from the federalists, and given to us—fools that we were not to have put our first servant under oath to obey his masters, previous to his being engaged for such a length of time—you feel power, Sir, and will not forget right.—Be it known as our sovereign pleasure, that it is right to forget—Finally—in a state of doubt and anxiety, we would fain that now is with us the crisis, and with you the crisis—We are ready for a revolt, and unless our sovereign pleasure is courted we will revolt—but if you will fall pell mell upon the federalists, and high, low, good, bad, rich, poor, drive them all from office, and let in a herd of us good

Demons, we will shout your praises in verse and in prose—we will make you the greatest patriot, the greatest hero, the greatest statesman, the greatest philosopher, and in all respects the greatest man that ever was miraculously made to great out of a little—then, Sir, we will live as merry as grigs, laugh and grow fat, you in office and we in office, till that old lover of equality, death, shall give us a call, when we will “go to our graves as to our graves.”
Such are the feelings and language of the Demos about New-York and elsewhere, that come out through the leaky Watch Tower, whose Editor some years since grossly overrating his talents, left the occupation for which his powers capacitated him, and, having made, for the last time, one great hit he thought would completely hide his ears, began awkwardly to wield the pen in his ungraceful fore hoofs.
Latest Foreign Intelligence,
By the arrival of the ship Totah Collins , at New-York, in 42 days from Liverpool.
OFFICIAL.
LONDON, May 4.
Dispatches were yesterday received in town from the Earl of Elgin, at Constantinople, which were last night published in the following.
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Downing Street, May 3, 1801.
The following copy of a letter from Lieut. General Sir Ralph Abercrombie, K. B. to the Earl of Elgin, together with dispatches from his Lordship to his Royal Highness the Duke of York and Lord Hawkesbury, and a letter from Col. Anstruther to Col. Brownrigg, of which the following are extracts, have been this day received.
Copy of a letter from Sir Ralph Abercrombie to the Earl of Elgin, dated Camp before Alexandria, March 16, 1801.
MY LORD,
ON the 1st inst. the fleet arrived in sight of Alexandria; on the 2d it anchored in Aboukir bay; the weather did not permit any disembarkation before the 8th; on that day it was happily effected, under the most trying circumstances. The boats had near a mile to row, and were for some time under the fire of fifteen pieces of artillery, and the musketry of two thousand five hundred men; still the intrepidity of the troops overcame every difficulty. We took eight pieces of cannon.
On the 9th the remainder of the army was landed. On the 12th we marched forward to within two leagues of Alexandria, and one league of the enemy, who were advantageously posted on a ridge, with their right to the Canal of Alexandria, and their left to the sea. On the 13th we moved forward to attack the enemy, and to turn their left. They did not however wait, but came down and attacked us. The action was warm; but the enemy were everywhere forced under the walls of Alexandria. Our loss is considerable.—Although Col. Erkine is wounded, he is doing well—he has lost a leg—his regiment gained great credit, but suffered severely. No officer of rank is killed, or dangerously wounded. Excuse this scrawl, written on my knee.
R. ABERCROMBIE.
Extract of a letter from the Earl of Elgin, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, dated Constantinople, April 4, 1801.
As Col. Anstruther's letter to me, which accompanied that to Col. Brownrigg, was written on the 16th of March, I take the liberty of adding to your Royal Highness, that Menou, having with him 2000 cavalry, joined the corps at Alexandria, and attacked Gen. Abercrombie on the 21st. The assault was vigorous; but the enemy were entirely repulsed with great loss, not however before Sir Ralph Abercrombie, Gen. Moore, Gen. Hope, and Sir Sidney Smith, had been wounded slightly, and Col. Abercrombie had lost a limb. Colonel Paget appears to have a slight wound.
Lord Keith's last letter says, all the wounded are surprisingly well, considering they are all by cannon or grape shot. I may add, that my J. Jaffrey, who left Rhodes on the 27th, mentions, that some of the troops who came there first, or had been left there sick, were already so well as to have sailed from thence to join.
Nothing could have been more brilliant than our operations appear to have been.
Extract of a letter from Lord Elgin to Lord Hawkesbury, dated Constantinople, April 14, 1801.
“I have the happiness of informing your Lordship, that I have this moment received an extract from Rhodes, dated 27th of March, with a series of private accounts of the successful progress of Sir R. Abercrombie's army.
“It appears that Menou must have set out from Cairo, on the first intelligence of Sir R. Abercrombie's landing. Meanwhile our army had advanced (under circumstances far too honourable for the British arms, for me to attempt relating on the imperfect details I possess) and had taken post within 3 miles of Alexandria, where they had prepared against an attack from Menou, who with two thousand cavalry, having formed a junction with the garrison of Alexandria, came against our army on the 21st.
“In this action we have to regret about 500 men killed and wounded; while the enemy positively lost 2000 men killed and wounded, and 500 taken prisoners. On the preceding Wednesday, Aboukir castle surrendered, and the British and Turkish flags were flying there.”
“Government yesterday received the most satisfactory intelligence, which has for a great length of time reached it from the Northern Courts. We understand, that before the naval victory gained on the 2d of April, off Copenhagen, was known at Petersburg, Count Paulen had written to the Russian Ambassador in Denmark, to take immediate measures with Admiral Parker, to induce him to suspend all hostility against Denmark, as it was the intention of his imperial Majesty to bring back, as soon as possible, the relative situation of England and Russia to the point where it was before the late differences.”
“This fact, as gratifying as it is important, justifies all those hopes which we from the first moment formed of the amicable disposition and the political wisdom of the Emperor Alexander. Every one must readily see that it is calculated to put an end, in a manner favourable to our interests, not only to our differences with the north, but also to the contest which we have hitherto maintained with so much glory against France.”
“It is very confidently said, that the terms proposed by the Chief Consul, are so humiliating and disadvantageous to this country, that they cannot be entertained for a moment. He requires, it is whispered, as proofs of our sincerity, preliminary to negotiation, the cession of Malta to Russia, of Gibraltar and Minorca to Spain, and of the Cape of Good Hope to the Dutch.—There is not an Englishman, we are certain, whose blood does not boil at the bare mention of such a proposition!”
“Lord St. Helen's set off this day for Yarmouth, there to embark on board the Latona frigate for St. Petersburg. His Lordship will be accompanied by a son of Count Woronzow. It is believed that his Lordship is furnished with full powers to accommodate the misunderstanding with Sweden and Denmark, as well as Russia.”
Extract of a letter from Col. Anstruther, to Col. Brownrigg, dated Camp near Alexandria, 16th of March, 1801.
“The fleet failed from Marmaxie on the 22d of February, and anchored in Aboukir bay on the 2d of March. From that day to the 7th, the weather was so boisterous, and the swell so great, that it was impracticable to disembark. This circumstance gave the enemy full leisure to collect troops and artillery, and to make every necessary preparation to oppose us. The whole infantry of the garrison of Alexandria, 3000 cavalry, and 14 or 15 pieces of cannon, were placed on a space of little more than two miles, from near the castle of Aboukir to the narrow isthmus which forms the boundary of the lake. Such was the situation in which we found things on the morning of the 8th, when the descent was made. Nothing I believe ever excelled the boldness and perseverance with which the boats continued to approach the shore, under a shower of bullets, shells and grape. Every discharge was answered by a shout from the seamen, and all seemed totally insensible of danger. The reserve on the right formed as if on the parade, and in a moment carried a height nearly equal to, and very like to that of Camperdown. The left were charged by the cavalry, the moment they got out of the boats. However, they drove every thing before them; and in the course of 3 quarters of an hour the enemy was completely beaten, with the loss of half his artillery. After a halt of two or three hours, in order to disembark artillery, and a part of General Coote's brigade, which had not been landed, the army advanced about 4 miles, where we remained to the 12th; the landing of provisions and stores being much impeded by the boisterous weather.”
“On the 12th we again marched about 5 miles, constantly skirmishing with the advance guard of the enemy, who had received a reinforcement of two half brigades of infantry, and one regiment of cavalry, from Cairo. We halted for the night about three miles from the enemy's position, which seemed and proved very advantageous.”
“Next morning, the army moved to attack the right of it, marching by lines to the left; the reserve covering the movement, and moving parallel with the first line. As the columns advanced into the plain, the enemy attacked the heads of both, with all his cavalry, supported by a considerable body of infantry, and ten or twelve pieces of cannon. This attack was repulsed by the advanced guard (the 9th and 22d) both of which behaved most nobly. The first line then formed two lines to the front of march, the flanks of which were protected by the reserve, and continued to advance in that manner, while the second line, continuing still in column (except the first brigade of it) turned the enemy's right, and forced him to quit his position. The army followed in the order above stated, and Sir Ralph had given orders for renewing the attack on the heights close to the town, to which the enemy retreated; but on examining them with attention, it was thought that they were under the guns of the forts, and could not probably be kept, if carried; the army took up, in the evening, the ground which the enemy had quitted.”
“The force of the enemy opposed to us appeared about 5000 infantry and 600 cavalry, and a large proportion of artillery; the ground being particularly favourable to the two last. The movements, although under a constant
cannonade, were regular and accurate; the general, in this last action, had his horse shot under him.”
“The position we occupy is good; it cuts off the communication between Alexandria and the Nile, excepting through the Desert—our supplies are conveyed by means of the lake with ease and security.”
To the accounts inserted in the Courier yesterday, of the defeat of the French in Egypt, we have to add the following particulars:
The important intelligence was sent by Mr. Tooke, the India Company's agent at Constantinople. Two messengers were dispatched with it; one was directed to proceed by Berlin, and Lord Caysfort was requested to forward the dispatches of which he was the bearer with the utmost possible expedition.—The advices from Lord Caysfort and Mr. Garlike, were only short accounts of the intelligence contained in Mr. Tooke's dispatches. The packet in which they came from Cuxhaven, arrived at Harwich in 48 hours. Soon after they were opened at the East-India House, the following bulletin was transmitted to Lloyd's, where it was received with three cheers.
Constantinople, April 4.
On the 21st of March, Gen. Menou, in his march from Rhamanie, with 8000 infantry, and 3000 cavalry, was attacked and defeated by Gen. Abercrombie, with the loss of 2000 killed, and 500 prisoners. Our loss, 500 killed and 1200 wounded; among the latter, Generals Abercrombie, Moore, Parker, and Sir Sidney Smith. The enemy were pursued in every direction. Aboukir had surrendered, and Alexandria was supposed by Lord Keith, if not taken, on the point of surrendering. The French cavalry, in the style of Mamelukes, attacked the English infantry with all the impetuosity peculiar to the Arab cavalry; but were defeated in every attack.
Two other bulletins, but less full than the East-India House one, were issued by government; one from the War-Office, the other from Downing-Street. The former as follows:—
War-Office, May 1.
The battle of Rhamanie was fought on the 21st of March. Our loss, 300 killed, 1200 wounded; amongst the latter, Gen. Abercrombie, and Sir Sidney Smith. The loss of the French, 2000 killed; not known how many wounded, and 500 prisoners. The rout was complete, and the pursuit continued: Aboukir was taken, and Alexandria expected to surrender every day.
Between England and Sweden.
CARLSCRONA, April 23.
On the 19th inst. the English appeared off the entrance of this harbour, and sent a frigate with a flag of truce, and a letter in the English language to the Governor, of which the following are the contents:
“On board the London, April 18, 1801.
“The Danish Court having been induced to conclude an armistice, by which the unfortunate disputes between the Court of Denmark and St. James's have been accommodated, and as I am directed to require an explicit declaration from the Court of Sweden, relative to its intention to adhere to, or abandon the hostile measures which it has taken in conjunction with Russia, against the rights and interests of Great-Britain, I have the honour to transmit to your Excellency this letter, that I may receive in answer, a declaration of the Court of Sweden, with respect to this important object, and shall conduct my future operations according to this answer.”
“I have the honour to be, &c.”
(Signed)
“HYDE PARKER, Commander in Chief of the British fleet in the Baltic.”
Vice-Admiral Cronstedt, who now has the command here by order of his Swedish Majesty, who was then at Malmo, immediately returned a provisional answer, to the following purport:
“That as only a military officer, he could not undertake to answer a question which did not come within the particular circle of his duty; but that his Swedish Majesty had declared, that he should soon be at Carlscrona, and that he would then notify to the Admiral his resolution.”
Yesterday afternoon his Majesty arrived here, and caused the following answer to be transmitted to Admiral Parker, by Vice-Admiral Cronstedt.
“ADMIRAL,
“The King, my Master, has commanded me to communicate to you the following official answer to the letter which I had the honour to receive from you, on the 18th inst.”
“Convinced that your Excellency is perfectly sensible of the importance and sacred nature of promises, when once made, his Majesty conceives that the following explicit declaration, cannot be unexpected by your Excellency: that is, that his Swedish Majesty will not, for a moment, fail to fulfil, with fidelity and sincerity, the engagement he has entered into with his allies; and that, without any reference to the particular intervention of another power, under whatever name it may be, and the effects of which can never be extended to the common interest of the hitherto Neutral Powers.”
“This is the firm unalterable resolution of his Majesty.”
“Equally induced, and by duty, to consider the affairs of his sincere allies as his own, his Swedish Majesty, however, will not refuse to listen to equitable proposals for accommodating the present dispute, made by Deputies, furnished with p er authority, on the
part of the King of Great-Britain, to the United Northern Powers.”
“C. O. CRONSTEDT.
“Adjutant-General to his Swedish
“Majesty, and Commander in
“Chief at Carlscrona.
“Carlscrona, April 23, 1801.”
To this answer no reply has been received from the English Admiral.
Our fleet, the forts and batteries which command the entrance of the harbour, and the other preparations for defence, are in perfect order. His Majesty will to-day inspect the fleet, which lies between the two forts.
COPENHAGEN, April 25.
The fleet of Admiral Parker is now returned from the Baltic. It was probably before Carlscrona, when the intelligence from Russia was communicated to Admiral Parker, signifying the wish of the Emperor to enter into an amicable accommodation of the present misunderstanding.
The proposal of M. Likasewitch was in substance, that the right of search should be recognized by the Northern Powers, with this limitation, that it should not be exercised but by public ships of war, and not by privateers or letters of marque; that when vessels were under convoy, the search should take place inanter , and in presence of an officer or other person deputed by the escort ship; that it was upon investigation of papers, &c. it was thought justifiable to stop and detain a vessel, the grounds thereof should be notified by the captor to the escort. Lastly, it was proposed that it should be left to amicable negotiation to ascertain and fix what articles should be considered contraband of war.
The fleet of Admiral Dickson is in sight for the Categat. Yesterday an English courier arrived here; he brought dispatches to our government, and others to Admiral Parker, which were immediately sent off to the latter.
HAMBURG, April 28.
It is said that a certain great Court has expressly declared, that the business of indemnifications in Germany shall not be entered upon until all foreign troops shall have been withdrawn from the country, to prevent every improper military interference.
Downing-Street (London) May 1.
Accounts have been received from the Earl of Caysfort, at Berlin, and from Mr. Tooke, at Constantinople, dated April 4, 1801, which state, that in a pitched battle, on the 21st of March, the French army, consisting of 20,000 men, was completely routed, with the loss of 2000 killed, and 500 prisoners. The loss of our troops is 300 killed, and 2500 wounded; among the latter, Sir Sidney Smith, General Mors, and Sir Ralph Abercrombie.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10.
The following is among the Ukases that have lately been published:
“It is ordered by us, that the English sailors and masters that were taken from the several English ships in a state of sequestration, and sent to various towns throughout our dominions, shall be set at liberty, and carefully conducted to the several ports from whence they were taken.”

BALTIMORE, June 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Marietta, to his friend in this town, dated April 27, 1801.
“Our settlements increase, and I hope that lands will meet a more ready sale than they have done heretofore. You have an 8 acre lot lying near Marietta; a gentleman hath offered 120 dollars for it, to pay 40 dollars down, and the remainder in March next. The brig St. Clair , of about 100 tons burthen, built at Marietta the winter past, failed the 14th inst. She is the largest vessel ever built on these waters, and the only one, I believe, that was ever rigged before going down the river. There is one of 150 tons, one of 130, and one of 50, now building here; we have one rope-walk, and I believe no country produces finer hemp; it is sold at 5 dollars per cwt.”

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
As the mayor of this city, James Calhoun, Esq.; was yesterday forenoon coming from the country to divine service, his gig, in turning the corner of a fence near Mr. Gibson's, was unfortunately upset, and himself and one of his grand children, who was sitting on his lap, were both thrown out. Mr. Calhoun, in his exertions to save the child, had his right ankle bone so much fractured, as to render an amputation necessary. The operation was performed by Doctors Brown and Littlejohn, with great skill; and this morning their patient was in as favourable a way as could be expected.
The child we are happy to learn, received not the least injury.
NEW-YORK, June 29.
Extract of a letter from Knoxville, to a gentleman in Annapolis, dated the 12th ult.
“I have nothing material to write to you, only something of a strange phenomenon which appeared where I lay last night. There was a gathering of people at log-rolling, and about sun-down there appeared two firs, as if they were about a foot apart, of equal size, and continued in the same position for about ten minutes.”

The Lancaster Journal mentions, that on

the morning of the 12th inst. "there were not less than seventy-five applicants" for the land-office, occasioned by the death of Mr. Muhlenberg!
Counterfeit Bank Notes. Yesterday two persons were detected, by Mr. Byrne, Auctioneer, in passing counterfeit Bank Notes. They were apprehended and brought before the Justices of the Police at the city-hall, examined and committed. The notes, we are informed, were but badly executed—one was of the Bank of North America, of 20 dollars, and two of the United States Bank, of 5 dollars each.
BOSTON, June 27.
From Europe and Egypt.
Very important intelligence has been received, since our last, via New-York;—the details of which are given in this day's Censor.
It is now confirmed beyond all doubt, that the Northern Confederacy, which a short time since presented so threatening an aspect to Great-Britain, has dissolved; and will speedily leave no other "wrecks" behind, than those in Copenhagen harbour.—Immediately after his accession to the throne, the Emperor Alexander sent couriers to Admiral Parker to assure him of his readiness to settle the differences between the Northern Powers and England in an honourable, equitable manner. Those couriers found the British Admiral before Carlscrone, menacing the principal naval port of Sweden; and such was the nature of their dispatches as to induce him to return to Copenhagen immediately; that the milder operations of the pacific negotiators might not be impeded. Lord St. Helens, as one of these negotiators, left London the 4th of May, for Peterburgh. The Russian Emperor, it is said, has proposed the following, as the basis on which the great question in controversy—the Right of Search —shall be settled:—The exercise of this right by national vessels only, shall be recognized by the Northern Powers:—When under convoy, the search shall be made immediately:—If from suspicious papers or other circumstances detention shall be thought justifiable, the grounds thereof shall be notified by the captors to the escort ship; and, finally, that an amicable negotiation shall be opened for fixing the articles which shall be considered as contraband of war. These regulations it is expected will be acceded to by Great-Britain; and when in honourable operation will prove highly advantageous to honest, neutral commerce.
The intelligence from Egypt is brought down several days later. On the 21st March, the French army under Menou, on its march to relieve Alexandria, were attacked by the British forces under Gen. Abercrombie, near Rhamania. The combat it appears was furious, obstinate and bloody; that the French were repulsed with great loss, and were besieged in Alexandria. The English lost their loss at 500 killed and wounded.—Of the latter were Generals Abercrombie, Moore and Hope, and S r . Sidney Smith;—Colonels Abercrombie and Paget; and that of the French at two thousand killed and wounded; and five hundred prisoners; and that the success of the English was brilliant. These particulars are confirmatory of the article in the last Centinel furnished by Capt. Sawyer from Palestine. It is highly probable the British wounded were transported to Malta, for the convenience of the hospital; and it is possible Gen. Abercrombie may have been buried there the 17th of April.—But as Lord Keith's letters state the General to have been but slightly wounded, and a Colonel of the same name to have lost a limb; the death of the latter is most probable, and may have given rise to the report of the General's death and burial. We nevertheless, on the authority of Capt. Sawyer, think the British Commander in Chief to be no more.
An arrival at Quebec, from London, is said to have furnished London papers to the 12th of May; and that they contain accounts, that the English had totally extirpated the French from Egypt. A letter from Montreal, of the 12th, mentions this arrival.
A CARD.
Dr. Waterhouse takes this method, most respectfully to suggest something to his brethren at a distance, in which the honour of the profession, and the cause of humanity, are particularly concerned.—It is well known to the faculty, that notwithstanding thousands of well attested cases of kine-pox resisting the infection of the small-pox, can be obtained from England, and other parts of Europe, yet as it is found, that people are not so ready to believe what happened a good while ago, or a great way off, it is necessary to collect and lay before the American public all such cases as have occurred among ourselves, before every one will be convinced that the kine-pox is a perfect security against the small-pox. More than two hundred cases can already be enumerated among ourselves, where persons have been inoculated with the small-pox, after having gone through the kine-pox, without the least trait of infection. Connecticut alone can furnish more than an hundred.
It seems really necessary to establish a central point to which every thing relative to this new inoculation may be directed, and from whence every ray of light that comes from a single place, may be reflected, and every where extend its power of illumination. It has been hoped and expected, that some Medical or Philosophical Society would form such a centre; in which case, the reflecting ray would become not only more brilliant, but even generative at the point of repercussion. But as a propitious season is fast
passing away, without any prospect of such an advantage, Dr. Waterhouse is constrained to adopt a more diminutive plan, and to go on in this business as he began it—alone.
He, therefore, in a most respectful manner, would request all those practitioners who have already put the kine-pox to the test of the small-pox with success, to transmit to him all such cases through the medium of the post-office. Many that have already come to hand, are not clothed in that particular and finished form in which he would choose to present them before a scrutinizing public. To specify every particular is needless, but names, ages, dates, and place of abode, are absolutely necessary. That such a procedure is requisite to establish the credit of this most precious discovery, will appear to every one, who considers the prejudices, and rigid laws in some parts of the Union, in regard to the promiscuous inoculation for the small-pox.
Although this benign disease is now passing with a rapid step through all ranks of society in Europe; and although it has full credit with characters most distinguished for information in every profession among us, yet a great many others still remain doubtful of its affording a complete shelter from the attack of the most loathsome of diseases. From the spurious, and ill explained cases that have occurred (arising from taking the matter at too late a period) this state of doubt is not to be wondered at, and nothing can effectually dispel it, but submitting one disease to the test of the other. In this situation one fact is worth a thousand arguments.
A subscription has already commenced, to enable a few dozen people (whose time is their estate) to repair to the hospital at Brookline, to try if they can take the small-pox, after having gone fairly through the kine-pox. Seven have already been tried in that hospital, and twice that number at Ipswich and Marblehead, AND ALL ESCAPED INFECTION.
The printers throughout these States are requested to insert this, and Patrocinium will carry it to their credit. Those of Virginia are particularly requested to notice it, because the kine-pox inoculation is about commencing in that extensive and populous State, under very favourable auspices. Cambridge, June 25, 1801.
NEWPORT, June 23.
At the yearly-meeting of Friends, lately held in this town, a subscription was opened, for the relief of the necessitous poor (who it appears are suffering, in consequence of the uncommon scarcity of the necessaries of life) in England and Ireland, the proceeds of which were to be transmitted to the meeting for sufferings in London, to be disposed of as they shall direct. Near 3000 dollars were subscribed in a few days.—From the philanthropy and liberality of Friends, upon such affecting occasions, it is thought a much larger sum will be subscribed in this and the adjacent New-England States.

WHEREAS the health and safety of the town require that the existing nuisances therein should be speedily removed or corrected;—It is therefore voted and resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into, and make report to this Council, of all nuisances that shall come to their knowledge, and which shall appear likely to prove prejudicial to the health of the town; and that the following gentlemen be and they are hereby appointed a committee for that purpose; to wit, Messrs. Philip Martin, Samuel Thurber, jun. and Rufus Waterman, for the north part of the town;—William Richmond, Jonathan W. Coy, and Paris J. Tillinghast, for the west side of the river; and Williams Thayer, John Spurr, and Jeremiah B. Howell, for the south part of the town;—and that said committee be entitled to a reasonable compensation for their services, to be paid out of the Town Treasury.
A true Copy: Witness,
NATHAN W. JACKSON, C. CLK.
THE above named committee, on examination, are exceedingly gratified to find a great majority of the inhabitants so attentive to the health of the Town, as appears by the cleanly and decent appearance of the cellars, stores, and yards, in general.—We take the liberty to recommend a perseverance in so necessary a work, by keeping the cellars and stores as far as possible dry and clean—by removing all manure, shells and rubbish, from the gangways and back-yards—by preventing the vaults of necessaries from being full, and by frequently putting into them small quantities of air-slacked lime,—and by often clearing the gutters leading from sinks, removing the filth, and sprinkling lime or dry ashes in and about them and other places disposed to become offensive.
The committee are assured that the above hints will be fully sufficient with all who have the health of the town at heart, and a proper regard to common decency and their own comfort and convenience. But we are sorry to add, that some there are who are so lost to such worthy considerations, that they seem disposed to support their nuisances after pressing and repeated remonstrances—such nuisances as remain after due notice will be reported to the Council without respect of persons.
The committee not only recommend, but enjoin as a duty, which each inhabitant of the town owes to the public and himself, to give information to some one of the committee in the district where he resides of any nuisance which may come to his knowledge.

Selected Poetry. THE SENTIMENTALIST.
The following Song was lately brought for- ward on the British Stage by INCLEDON.
THE British Tar no peril knows, But, fearless, braves the angry deep; The ship's a cradle of repose, And sweetly rocks him to his sleep, He tho' the raging surges swell, In his hammock swings, When the steersman sings Steady she goes—all's well.
While to the main-top yard he springs, An English vessel heaves in view: He asks, but it no letter brings From Bonny Kate, he lov'd so true. Then sighs he for his native dell, Yet to hope he clings, When the Seamen sings Steady she goes—all's well.
The storm is past the battle's o'er, Nature and man repose in peace; Then, homeward bound, on England's shore He hopes for joys that ne'er will cease. His Kate's sweet voice those joys foretells And his big heart springs While the steersman sings Steady she goes—all's well.

The American MORALIST.
By GEORGE CHIPMAN. The above is a judicious se- lection from the most approved writers, an- cient and modern, with original pieces, dia- logues, &c. designed principally for the use of schools and young persons, but may justly claim some attention from the aged, the gen- tleman and the lady. The author's chief de- sign, in this selection, was to furnish schools and young persons with a book containing ethical and religious lessons, represented and exemplified in such a manner as to enlighten the understanding, and captivate the heart.— Though the general tenor of the book is of a moral and religious cast, yet the author has by no means been inattentive to that variety which is so pleasing and useful to young per- sons, and has interspersed pieces from natural and sacred history, together with biograph- ical and allegorical descriptions. It has been honoured with the approbation of competent judges, but the compiler's request is, that parents and instructors of youth, who will well to virtue and religion, and desire that the minds of all under their care may be duly and deeply impressed with, early and real piety, would examine the work, and judge for themselves.
