Reviews OF EUROPEAN EVENTS.
Written by an American abroad.
We have published a continuation of this Review to April 15; that for the remainder of the month has not been received; as soon as it reaches us, we shall perfect this chain of events by its publication.
MAY 1. T HE French squadron under adm. Gantheaume which, for the third time failed from Toulon the 26th of April, arrived this day at Leghorn. Before sailing Gantheaume, manned his ships by impressing all the seamen he could find in Toulon, foreigners as well as frenchmen. This circumstance suggests two remarks. He must have been reduced to the severest extremity for want of men, to have recourse to such an expedient. The degree of respect shown to the rights of foreign nations, even by the present French government, is indicated by it. As to their own citizens, they have never ceased, amidst all their infuriated convulsive spasms in recovering their long lost liberty, to practice the system of forcible levies for the public service, by land or by water. As little will any man, the centre of whose optics is more than two inches beyond his nose, expect, that, after the establishment of that precious liberty, for which they took to their convulsive spasms, they ever will cease a practice, without which the great nation cannot continue her career of victories; but what security the commerce or the sailors of other nations are to expect in her ports, is apparent from this example.
On board of this squadron are a number of troops; and at Leghorn they are fitting up transport ships to proceed with them. The French have taken possession of Porto Longone, in the island of Elba, ceded to them by the treaties of peace with Austria and Naples. They have likewise occupied Otaento, and various other Neapolitan ports upon the Adriatic. There seems no doubt but that they meditate an expedition from them, either to reinforce their army in Egypt, or against some part of the Turkish empire in Europe. The expedition to take possession of the island of Elba, was delayed for some days, by the refusal of the 60th half brigade to march. What the cause of this mutiny was, does not appear. Gen. Murat says, that they were seduced by the hired agents of the English—but that, as they had repented, he had seen their tears and forgiven them. The French have taken possession, and joined to the Cisalpine Republic all the territory on the right banks of the Adige, ceded by the Emperor in the treaty of Lunéville. But the Cisalpine, Ligurian and Helvetic Republics, are all waiting the opinion of the French First Consul to fix their Constitutions. He is Constitution-monger general for them all, though he finds it very tedious to read all the plans they send him; insomuch, that he lately told a Ligurian deputy, who had delivered him one of those social compacts to examine, that he was quite sick of such business, and did not think much of it. That they might do as they pleased, but he thought their plan was too much like that of France; and it was evident Genoa could not require so strong an Executive as France. They are still at the work of Constitution patching in the Batavian Republic too; and there too they have received a seasonable hint to reduce the numbers of their legislature, and not to strengthen their Executive. It is easy to see that these principles, are calculated to promote the interests of the great nation, if not the happiness of the Batavian people.
In Piedmont, the languishing ardour of the people, to be judged worthy of participating in the destinies of the great nation, was this day a little damped by an admonition to the Prefects, from the Administrator-General Jourdan, telling them that the administration was only provisional, and they must avoid every measure which might give it an appearance of being definitive; that the new administration in Piedmont was, to be sure, pretty much like that of France, but
Piedmont was not yet united with the French Republic, and they must not anticipate in this respect the views of the French Government:—They must, therefore, proclaim their acts, not in the name of the French Republic, but in that of the provisional administration of Piedmont:—Nor must they wear the dress of French public characters, without a previous permission from France. Imagine what must be the disappointment of the poor Piedmontese, upon finding themselves flattered up with a hope of being favoured with all the blessings of an incorporation, and then thus tubbed off with a mere alliance de facto.

FROM THE BALANCE, A judiciously conducted literary Paper published at Hudson, N. York.
"A House divided against itself cannot stand."
NO calamity scarcely can befall a people that is more malicious than the general prevalence among them of a virulent spirit of party; for while it poisons the social enjoyments, it tends to derange all order and regular police. Like a jaundice, it gives a certain tinge to the mind, and perverts the medium through which things are viewed. It enters into their local as well as public concerns, and stamps the features of all their social transactions with a strange inconsistency. It perverts the judgment of the wise and renders men, in regard to reason and truth, as deaf as an adder, and as blind as a mole.
Indeed a degree of party spirit will always prevail among a free nation. Human nature is selfish and aspiring; and under a free government, where men may think as they please and speak as they think, a diversity of sentiments will be expressed; and from the collision of individual interest, this diversity of sentiments will frequently produce keen animosities. This is an evil for which there is no remedy. It grows out of the nature of man under a free government; and there is no other alternative, but a state of freedom, attended always with a degree of the spirit of party, and sometimes with violent animosities and commotions; or, on the other hand, the awful and death-like calm of despotism, where the discontented, and even the injured are obliged to seal their lips and smother their resentments in their own breasts.
Upon this subject the celebrated Montesquieu expressed the following sentiments. "It may be advanced (said he) as a general rule, that wherever a perfect calm is visible, in a state that calls itself a republic, the spirit of liberty no longer subsists. Union in a body politic, is a very equivocal term: true union is such a harmony as makes all the particular parts, as opposite as they may seem to us concur to the general welfare of the society, in the same manner as discord in music contribute to the general melody of sound. Union may prevail in a state full of seeming commotions; or, in other words, there may be a harmony from whence results prosperity, which alone is true peace, and may be considered in the same view, as the various parts of this universe, which are eternally connected by the action of some and the reaction of others."
Allowing the foregoing sentiments of Montesquieu to be just, there was cause to expect that under our free government, there would be a diversity of sentiments, and such a clashing of political interests, as frequently to excite a degree of public ferment. We had cause beforehand to expect that different candidates for high offices, would be supported by their respective parties with a warm zeal; and therefore events of this kind ought to be neither surprising nor alarming.
But when party spirit becomes rancorous and intolerant, it scatters, like the fabled box of Pandora, innumerable evils and mischiefs all around. And whenever, or wherever this is the unhappy state of things, every good man, every well-wisher to his country, to whichever party he may belong, should apply emollients, and endeavor to abate and heel that rancour and virulence, which tend to render society a curse rather than a blessing.

From the Telescope.
"Happy mortal! he who knows Pleasure which a pipe bestows."
T HE discovery of this country has afforded ample scope for the pen of the moralist in describing the injustice and cruelty, which marked the steps of the first settlers, and depicting, in the most glaring colors, the fatal effects of the rich mines of America on the manners and morals of mankind. It has opened also a wide field for the inquisitive mind of the visionary theorist, and the persevering genius of the antiquarian. But tho' it has furnished abundant materials for ingenious disquisition and curious observation, enlarged the sphere of commerce, and given new vigor to industry, yet their benefits are but mites in the mass of general happiness compared to the introduction of a simple Indian plant, usually denominated Tobacco. This will, perhaps, be tho't a paradox by some, and they will expect me to give a chemical analysis of the physical qualities of this potent herb, and describe its operation on the human system. But, whether it possesses those deleterious qualities which some physicians assert, and which others as positively deny, I shall not enquire; I shall only consider it as a great agent in the production of human happiness.
See yonder smoker wrapt in contemplation, lost in sweet ecstasy. He earns his daily bread by the sweat of his brow. He strains every nerve to support a numerous family determined never to leave it to the cold hand of charity till the last drop of nature is spent. The hard hearted creditor threatens to tear him from his beloved partner and children, and consign him to the gloomy walls of a prison, and his family to the uncertain support of an unfeeling world. He is on the rack of torment; his heart swells "almost to bursting" he betakes himself to his solitary pipe—His mind is less agitated; his thoughts are gradually tranquilized—His countenance assumes an air of calm serenity; his visage beams contentment. The cruel creditor, the gloomy goal, and his ruined family, all are lost in this sweet enchantment, and seem but "the baseless fabric of a vision."
Behold the poet. He is in the closet, employing the pen of satire, lashing the reigning follies of the age, in correcting the immoral, and reforming the virtuous; and tho' for a dull prose writer to hold up the mirror of truth to a lady's face, is the height of ill breeding, yet his poetry has often turned the current of female extravagance, and saved the innocence of many slippery women. His attic wit has often diverted the son of honor, and extorted a smile even from the gravity of age. But, alas! the rich mines of Potosi themselves must be exhausted by time; our poet becomes bankrupt. In vain he invokes all the gods and goddesses, in vain ransacks his collative brain for ideas, and tortures his imagination for figures and flowers. Not a single couplet can he produce. He calls for his favorite pipe. His mind by degrees expands; his prospect brightens; like the oracular priestess on the tripod, he begins to feel the inspiration—he seizes his pen, and not the smallest vice or folly escapes his thunder.
But here comes a happy quidder. If you ask him why he makes use of this noxious weed; whether as a preventative against any disease, or as a remedy for constitutional disorder; he will answer, that a certain disorder first induced the practice, and, though he cannot certainly affirm, that it has, in any degree, mitigated the violence of the disorder, or removed the cause, still, that he is so much attached to this magic weed, that he esteems it the most copious source of his sensual happiness, would rather relinquish any other ordinary enjoyment. You will perhaps tell him, that this is mere custom, and demonstrate to him with mathematical exactness, that man is the creature of habit. He will then retort upon you, that you are not a competent judge of the ingredients of his happiness, and that there are certain secret pleasures, which, like those of free masonry, can be known and felt only by those of the order.
But the fair snuff taker will, perhaps, think herself neglected, if we do not bestow a short panegyric on the
magic virtues of her favorite box. She will tell you that chewing or smoking (words which of themselves, ought never to desile a female mouth) is so monstrously vulgar, that no lady of true delicacy, would keep company with a gentleman quidder or gentleman smoker; but that snuff-taking was introduced in this age of politeness by ladies of the first quality, who have to this day, patronized and encouraged it; and that this subtle powder contains occult qualities, of which the physician, the philosopher and the chemist are ignorant; but which are well known to its fair votaries. She will also tell you, that it brightens the intellects, exhilarates the spirits, and produces an exquisite titillation, scarcely to be exceeded. This, she will likewise tell you is the very touchstone of politeness; that a lady may discover the refinement of her taste, in the choice of this magical powder, her education in its management, and her generosity, in its distribution.
When a company is collected around the social board, conversation often flags, and the seal of silence is on every lip; not a single repartee or flash of wit—but no sooner are the pipes introduced, than
"Pure apothegms at random run; Jest follows jest, and pun encounters pun."
Do any of the cross accidents of life befall these tobacco consumers, the twilt, pipe, or snuff box is applied to with quadruple earnestness, as a sovereign remedy; and care, melancholy, and discontent are often puffed away in the exhilarating fumes of a segar, lost in the plentiful ejecta of tobacco saliva, or stilled in copious effusions from the nose. But we hope our wife legislators will never imitate a certain Emperor of the Turks, the Vizar of Muscovy, and the King of Prussia who prohibited the use of this care dispelling balm in their dominions on pain of death—the penalty of snuff taking was however, most graciously softened down to—cutting off the nose! I now take my leave of the tranquil quidder, the fair convulsive freezer, and the mighty cloud compelling smoker; wishing that they may ever enjoy a land, overflowing with snuff, snuff, and pigtail.
DICK SMOKER.
A safe and efficacious remedy for the CANCER.
"Take the narrow leaved Dock root and boil it in water, till it be quite soft, then bathe the part affected in the decoction as hot as can be borne, three or four times a day; the root must then be mashed and applied as a poultice."
"This root has proved an effectual cure in many instances;—it was first introduced by an Indian woman, who came to the house of a person in the country who was much afflicted with a cancer in her mouth; the Indian, perceiving something was the matter, enquired what it was, and, on being informed, said she would cure her."
The woman consented to a trial, though with little hope of success, having previously used many things without receiving any benefit. The Indian went out and soon returned with a root, which she boiled and applied as above, and, in a short time, a cure was effected. The Indian was very careful to conceal what these roots were, and refused giving any information respecting them; but, happening one day to lay some of them down, and step out, the woman concealed one of the roots, which she planted, and soon discovered what it was; not long after a person, in that neighbourhood, being afflicted with the same complaint, in her face she informed her of this remedy, and, in two weeks, she was cured.—Some time after a man was cured of a confirmed Cancer upon the back of his hand; after suffering much, and unable to get any rest, being told of this root, it was procured and prepared for him; he kept his hand in the water as hot as he could bear it for some time; the root was then applied as a poultice, and that night he slept comfortably, and in two weeks, his hand was entirely cured.
"DANIEL BROWN's father having had a cancer in his head, had it cut out and apparently healed; but, some of the roots remaining, it again broke out; his Doctor then informed him that nothing more could be done ex-
cept burning it out with hot irons. This being too harsh a remedy to submit to he was much discouraged. The Dock root was soon after recommended, and it cured him in a short time."
"In the beginning of the winter of 1798, a hard lump appeared in the middle of my under lip, and in a short time, became fore;—it continued in that situation till spring, when it increased and became painful; I then shewed it to a person of skill, and soon found he apprehended it to be cancerous; after two or three different applications, the complaint increased and spread rapidly."
"LOT TRIP, having heard of my complaint, mentioned this root. I called on him to know the particulars of it—he gave me the necessary information—the root was procured, and used in the manner above mentioned—taking a mouthful of water, in which the root was boiled, and letting it drip over my lips as hot as I could bear it; this I did three or four times a day, and then kept the root to it a day and a night, and in two days the pain entirely left it, and in two weeks it was cured."
"This remedy is simple, safe, and not attended with any thing unpleasant."

Late Foreign Intelligence.
By the arrival at New-York, of the Happy Couple, Capt. Wyeth, from Gibraltar.
Naval Action off Algezas.
GIBRALTAR, JULY 10.
THE French squadron, consisting of three line of battle ships and one frigate, stated in our last to have entered the Bay, proved, agreeably to our information at that time, to be part of Ad. Gantheaume's squadron, under the command of Rear Ad. Lings.
The front of Algezas is defended by various batteries of heavy guns, on the Island, as well as upon the banks to the north and south of the town—the first from which crosses before the town and harbour, and intersects in front of the French ships, taking in flank any assailants who might approach them.
We beheld with admiration, though not without anxiety, the English squadron haul up directly for the French ships. The Venerable, under the command of Capt. S. Hood, led the line, according to his orders, with his usual address, and passed the batteries, and the French ships, without returning their fire until he arrived at his station.
To lead in, and pass the enemy's ships, without coming to anchor. To anchor abreast of the inner ship of the enemy's line.
To anchor abreast of the enemy's ships & batteries.
All this appeared to be executed, as far as the sudden failure of the wind would permit. At 35 minutes past 8, the action commenced by the Pompee and Audacious, at 9 the Caesar opened her fire—a quarter of an hour afterwards she passed the Venerable and came to an anchor:—At 35 minutes past 9, the Spencer opened her fire, and soon afterwards the Hannibal.
the admiral finding it totally impracticable to bring any of his ships near enough to those of the French, found himself (at 35 minutes past 1 o'clock, P. M. after an action of five hours, with very little intermission) under the necessity of withdrawing his force, excepting the Hannibal, which being ashore, he was obliged to abandon to the enemy; to whom however we do not conceive he can be of any service.
We have great reason to believe that the French ships have suffered so severely by this attack, that it will be a considerable time before they can be fit for sea, if at all repairable; and so far Sir James Saumarez has attained his object.
So uncommon an event to the French is the capture of a British ship, that their exultation will have no limits; but had not the Hannibal grounded on a strange coast, she would have given a very good account of the French admiral's ship.
The town of Algezas did not suffer materially.
JULY 27. In addition to the account of the action of the 6th, as narrated in our last, we have the following
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the admiral's ship, the Caesar.
"There is one point which needs explanation; namely, when the Caesar cut, at half past 1 o'clock, it was from a fine breeze springing up, and the hopes of closing with the enemy; orders for that purpose were given to the Audacious and Venerable; the Caesar wore round them, and brought her broadside to bear upon the Indomptable's bow, lying there, (about three cables length distant from her) a considerable time, with the foretopmast to the mast.
By the official return it appears that of the English, there were 7 officers and 114 seamen, &c. killed; and 15 officers, and 125 seamen, &c. wounded. Of the officers killed the highest was Lt. Williams of the marines. The French had 182 killed, and 306 wounded.
Immediately following the above returns in the Gibraltar papers, are the Spanish Admiral's orders to his fleet, on the day previous to the action of the 12th and 13th July. By these orders it appears, that the three ships which sustained the attack of the English squadron on the 6th July, were so far refitted as to be able to join the Spaniards.
JULY 10. Yesterday a combined French and Spanish squadron entered Algezas. It consists of two Spanish three-deckers, and two 2 deckers, and a French 74, and two frigates. They were this day joined by another Spanish 74.
Another "Grand Naval Action."
GIBRALTAR, JULY 17.
We have already mentioned the arrival at Algezas of a combined squadron, and our readers will recollect, we then observed, "their trusting themselves out of port is generally a prelude to a British victory."
On the 12th inst. the combined squadron got under sail. Immediately after, the spectators of the scene were delighted to see the five English ships, under Sir James Saumarez, advancing from the New Mole, to encounter this greatly superior force.
In addition to the above, Capt. Wyeth informs, that he saw, the morning after the battle, the 13th, two Spanish ships blow up, supposed to be 74s, having on board 1000 men each.
INTER-ESTING LETTER, The following letter has been alluded to in several recent publications.
PARIS, JULY 10. ARMY OF THE RHINE. The General in Chief to the Minister of War of the French Republic.
Citizen Minister, The Ordonnateur in Chief, and the Paymaster General, were charged to give to you, as also the public Treasury, a complete detailed account of the administration of the army—but the affection with which the official journal, in its numbers of the 5th and 7th of April, assured its readers that Germany had not been laid under contribution—and that all the funds for the pay of the army of the Rhine had been made by the public Treasury, imposes the duty on me of giving you a statement of the sums received at the army, and of the application.
It was not possible to establish any regularity in the receipt of the contributions, except after the armistice. Germany failing in money, prompt returns could not be hoped for but by bank operations.
You have been furnished with a copy of all the process verbal of all the payments. The Paymaster General has also made a return to the treasury. The whole of the receipts amount to about forty four millions.
The disbursement of the seven millions, of which I reserved the application to myself, is composed of expenses of negotiations to the amount of from 5 to 9 millions, received by Bank operations; of gratuities to the whole army; of the expenses of some monuments which I erected to respectable General Officers, who died on the field of battle; of relief given to some corps which had suffered more than the rest; of the redemption of captured horses, incorporated in the corps of the cavalry of the army, and of the payment of a multitude of bills of which soldiers were the bearers; bills fairly due, but not admitted in regular account in consequence of some defects in formality.
When I shall have received the part of the account open with me alone, I shall send you such explanation as you may desire. As to the regular account, the Paymaster General will give the particulars to the treasurer, and the Ordonnateur must furnish a duplicate of all his orders.
To resume, the contributions have defrayed about 13 months pay. Thus in the supposition that the army had been delivered to me paid up in course; there would not have been a single decade due to it on its return to France.
The army has returned, as well equipped as could be desired, for troops after a very severe winter campaign. The corps of infantry are at the same complement as at their entrance upon the campaign; several are from 8 to 900 the Battalion.
Several regiments of light cavalry exceeded 700 horses, the artillery has returned in a very improved state, bringing with it near 200 pieces of cannon taken from the enemy, and about 3000 horses more than upon its entrance upon the campaign.
Believe me, Citizen Minister, that I have observed in the raising of contributions all possible order, and that I have not neglected the interests of the Republic; the conquered countries have been burdened as much as they could be, without violating the laws of humanity. (Signed) MOREAU.
P. S. The pay of the Staffs and Officers without troops, has been discharged up to the latter end of April. This article amounts to above two millions.
(Signed) MOREAU.

BALTIMORE, August 29.
Yesterday arrived here the U. S. sloop of war Maryland, Capt. Rogers, from France. She left Havre, July 15th. The treaty was not ratified when the Maryland left the port, though the matters were said to wear a favourable appearance.
The following gentlemen were passengers in the Maryland—Mr. J. Purviance, bearer of dispatches from Mr. Murray to government. Capt. Izard, and Mr. Barney. Captain Rogers, who also brought dispatches from Mr. Murray to government, and Mr. Purviance, sat off for Washington this morning.
NEW-YORK, September 3.
THE TRIPOLITANS BLOCKADED. Capt. Wyeth, from Gibraltar in 42 days, informs, that on the 17th July he left there the Tripolitan ship Admiral, of 28 guns, and a brig of 14 guns, commanded by Peter Lille, a Scotch Renegado.
[The following is a copy of the letter from the American Minister in London, to the English Minister for Foreign Affairs, demanding the release of Capt. Cunningham, of the ship Orion, alluded to in an account of Capt. Cunningham's examination.]
Great Cumberland Place, June 15, 1801.
"MY LORD, "George Cunningham, a citizen of the United States, and master of the American ship Orion, which lately arrived in England from America, has been arrested, and is now confined in the prison of Newgate upon a charge of having, by immoderate punishment, killed John Gosner, one of his crew, and who was also an American citizen, during the voyage from America to England.
"According to the representation of this case, which has been made to me, it is manifest, first, that the charge preferred against Cunningham is both false and malicious; and second, whether true or otherwise, that he is not liable to answer for the same in the British tribunal.
"In case of Piracy all nations have a concurrent jurisdiction, because a pirate is the common enemy of all nations. But in case of Homicide, and other crimes committed upon the high seas, and which by the law of nations, do not amount to piracy, the offence is cognizable only in the tribunal of the nation to which the vessel belongs, in which the same was committed.
"As Cunningham is an American citizen, and the offence imputed to him was not committed within the territorial jurisdiction of his Britannic Majesty, and is not a piracy, he cannot be liable to answer for the same in his Majesty's tribunals; and I therefore demand his immediate discharge, in order that he may be enabled without further molestation to pursue his lawful business.
"With perfect respect and consideration, I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) "RUFUS KING." Right Hon. Lord Hawkesbury, &c. &c.
BOSTON, September 9. NAVAL COURT MARTIAL.
The proceedings of the Court on the trial of Capt. Little, closed on Saturday. Capt. Little called no witnesses; but proceeded to read his defence. The Judge Advocate then stated the evidence as it applied to the charges; and the Court, being cleared of spectators, made up judgment in a very short time.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
The frigate Essex, of 32 guns, Capt. Bainbridge, was spoken July 8, off Cape de Gatt, bound for Tunis, with the Grand Turk of New-London, laden with presents from the United States to the Bey of Tunis.
The United States frigate George Washington, of 32 guns, Capt. Shaw, having under her convoy the ship Peace and Plenty, bound to Tunis, was spoken August 17th, lat 37, long. 58.
SALEM, September 8.
Capt. Martin, from Gibraltar, mentions, that besides the loss of the Hannibal, in the battle at Algezas, the Admiral's ship was dismasted; but was completely refitted in two days after her arrival at Gibraltar, and did her duty again in the subsequent action.
TRAGEDY OF ERRORS.
The late naval events in the vicinity of Gibraltar have furnished several scenes for a Tragedy of Errors. Some English craft mistaking the Spanish squadron in the bay for an English one, bore down upon it, and were captured. After the French had taken possession of the stranded Hannibal, they did not as usual suspend the French flag over the English, but hoisted the English flag Union down;—this being a signal of distress, several boats went from Gibraltar to her assistance, and were taken by the French. To complete these mistakes, two accounts concur in the subsequent (one received at New-York, by Capt. Wyeth; the other at Marblehead, by Capt. Martin.)—The two Spanish ships were thus blown up; the battle being in the night, an English ship running in between two Spanish ships gave each a broadside, and, unseen by the Spaniards amidst the smoke and darkness, dropped astern, leaving her foes to deliver their broadsides at each other; which they did, and continued the combat with fury, until one of them caught fire, and the flames communicated to the other while her boats were humanely employed in the relief of her supposed enemy;—Both at length blew up, and none were saved but what had got into the boats. These ships had on board an extra number of hands, destined for other ships at Toulon.

LONDON GAZETTE, JULY 28.
THE following letter from Capt. Brisbane, of His Majesty's ship Doris, to Admiral Cornwallis, records one of those enthusiastic displays of undaunted bravery; which have lately so justly distinguished the seamen of Britain; and added much glory to the naval annals of our country:
"Doris, off St. Matthews, July 22.
SIR, I HAVE the honor of informing you that a most daring and gallant enterprise was last night undertaken by the boats of His Majesty's ships Doris, Beaulieu and Uranie, entirely manned by volunteers, under the direction of Lieut. Lofack, of the Ville de Paris, whose gallantry on this occasion is better felt than expressed; who succeeded in boarding and carrying the French national ship La Chevette, mounting 20 guns, manned and completely prepared him 350 men, under the batteries in the Bay of Camaret, and in the presence of the combined fleets of France and Spain.
Any comment of mine would fall short of the merits due to those gallant officers, seamen and marines employed upon this service; it is but justice to subjoin their names and qualities,* who have so nobly added an additional lustre to his Majesty's arms.
I have most sincerely to regret the loss of the killed and wounded, but when compared with that of the enemy, it is comparatively small. I cannot conclude without returning my warmest thanks to the Capt. Poncy and Gage for their judicious arrangements of their boats. I beg to mention that Capt. Jarvis, of his Majesty's ship Robust, very handsomely sent his barge and pinnace on this service; likewise Lieut. Spencer, who placed his Majesty's hired cutter Telemachus in the Goulet, and prevented any assistance, by boats, the enemy might have attempted. I have the honor to be, &c. C. BRISBANE.
Total of the killed, wounded and missing in the boats of his Majesty's ships Doris, Beaulieu, Uranie, and Robust. 11 killed, 57 wounded and 1 missing.
Total killed and wounded on board La Chevette, 42 killed & 62 wounded. * Ville de Paris, Lieut. Lofack.—Doris, Lieuts. Rose, Crozier, Clarke and Burke; Lieut. Rose of the marines.—Beaulieu, Lieut. Maxwell, acting Lt. Poyntz; Lieut. Sinclair, of the marines.—Uranie, Lieut. Seville, and several midshipmen from the different ships.
On the subject of the above gallant action, a London editor, says—"Ardently as we admire the daring spirit, and matchless power of our gallant seamen, we cannot but observe that their heroism and intrepidity might be tempered with more prudence and discretion than have been displayed in the bay of Algeziras or the outer road of Breft. The valour of British tars is proverbial, and requires no heightening from the magnitude of their losses. The capture of La Chevette, notwithstanding the glory of the action, must rank in those victories 'for which the conquerors mourn'd so many fell.'"
LONDON, JULY 28.
It is ascertained, that Gantheume's squadron had returned to France.—But no mention is made of his having landed his troops in Africa, as reported.
Loss of the Swiftsure.
A letter from Capt. Hallowell, dated on board Ad. Gantheume's ship, the Indivisible, at Frejus, July 17, has been received by the Admiralty; giving an account of the loss of his Majesty's ship Swiftsure, of 74 guns. She was bound to England, to refit, having been in the Mediterranean near three years, and at sea the principal part of the time, and her copper all worn off; when she fell in with the French squadron. She was Ad. Bickerton's flag-ship; but as no mention is made of his being on board, it is probable he had previously hoisted his flag on board some other ship.—The Paris papers of the 23d inst. give the following particulars of her capture:
The 24th of June, at break of day, Ad. Gantheume, being in the channel between Candia and Egypt, spied a ship of war, and instantly issued orders for a general chase. The French squadron failed much better than the pursued ship. At 5, P. M. the proved to be a British 74; having no hopes of escaping, the enemy attempted to get the weather-gage of us, availing himself of the moment that the French squadron was widely dispersed; the hostile ship crowding all her sails she went before the wind for the purpose of endeavouring to fight her way through the French squadron; but L'Indivisible, of 90 guns, and Le Dix-Aout, of 80, bore up against and engaged her at the distance
of 600 toises—the fighting ships soon came within musket-shot, and after a tolerable action of an hour, the British ship was compelled to strike. She proved to be the Swiftsure, one of the finest ships belonging to Ad. Keith's squadron. L'Indivisible and Le Dix-Aout, suffered but little; the former having only four men killed; the latter six, and 23 wounded.
Ad. Gantheume put men on board the Swiftsure, and she was soon enabled to keep the sea.
Capt. Hallowell's letter was sent to our agent at Paris; and by Mr. Merry to government.
The Jason frigate of 36 guns, Capt. Ballard, has been wrecked on the French coast, crew saved.
Lord Nelson is appointed Commander in Chief of all the naval forces from Orfordness to Beachy-Head, and Marquis Cornwallis of the land forces.
Fishing boats are stationed at the entrance of the Swin, to destroy the buoys on the approach of the enemy's fleet.
July 30. We have received Paris papers to the 27th.—The Monitor is completely silent on the arrival of Gantheume's squadron. The other papers assert it as fact; but we smell a rat, in the silence of the official paper; and a few days will let it out.
July 28. Denmark and Sweden have formally acceded to the Convention concluded between Great-Britain and Russia, on the 17th June last.
It is expected that Derna, is not the name of the city in Africa, where Gantheume landed his troops; but Durasfo, about 60 miles west of Alexandria.—As he had but four sail of the line, and one frigate, with him, it is utterly impossible, that he should have landed any very considerable force; 4000 must be the utmost extent of their numbers.
One of the old songs which had sung itself out of all fashion has lately been revived; and we now hear all ranks chanting,
"And should their flat-bottoms in darkness get o'er, Still Britons they'd find to receive them on shore."
HARTFORD, Sept. 8.
On the night of last Thursday about 12 o'clock, we experienced the most remarkable gale of wind, which has happened in this town within our recollection. The gust was violent but continued only a few minutes, attended with heavy thunder and considerable rain. The wind blew with such violence as to tear up several trees and burst in the windows of several houses. In its progress it tore off about one half of the roof of the City Hall, and also the roof of the house of Mr. Jonathan Root, which latter building was much damaged in other respects.
BOSTON, September 12.
We yesterday received by the schr. Cameron, Capt. Atkins, from Bristol, London papers to the 28th of July.
It appears from various accounts, that the French squadron which has been so long roving in the Mediterranean, has returned to France; after having landed a body of troops in Africa, to reinforce Menou, at Alexandria. On the homeward passage this squadron captured the English ship Swiftsure, of 74 guns, which was returning from Egypt to England, to repair.
The projected invasion of England or Ireland, had assumed the highest degree of activity throughout the whole western coasts of France; and the fleet from Breft was said to be completely ready for sea. In Great-Britain scarce any thing was doing but preparation to meet the French on landing, should they escape the vigilance of the naval commanders at sea. "Lord Nelson," says our last London paper, "is appointed not only commander of the North Sea fleet, but of the gun-boats, ships, and craft of all kinds, from Portsmouth up the straits of Dover, to the northern extremity of our island. He is invested with very extensive and unusual powers, and his active spirit will prove our best guardian.—Since the battles of Aboukir and Copenhagen, it is quite in his own way to attack the enemy in their own ports; and we make no doubt of soon hearing the last of some of the enemy's shipping, now supposed to be moored in safety. Admirals Dickson, Lutwidge, &c. are all to be under his command."
Capt. Martin, who left Leghorn in June last, and put into Gibraltar for security, has "politely favoured" the public with an account, that "No merchant in Gibraltar will accept their (the Tripolitan) bills for a dollar—for however some might be disposed to help a brother in distress, yet it is well known if the corsairs are captured, the Bey of Tunis would refuse payment of their bills!" Should Capt. M. ever have occasion again to put into Gibraltar, the merchants of that place will unquestionably make a suitable return for the above specimen of his "politeness."
able return for the above specimen of his "politeness."
American Mediterranean Squadron.
Letters from officers of the American squadron in the Mediterranean have been received at Philadelphia:—They mention, that the squadron arrived safe at Gibraltar, the beginning of July:—That Commodore Dale, in the President of 44 guns, and the Experiment, of 12 guns. Lt. Sterrett, had gone up the Mediterranean on a cruise; as had also the Essex of 32 guns, Capt. Bainbridge; with a fleet under convoy:—That the Tripolitan ship Admiral of 18 guns, and 300 men; and a brig of 14 guns, and 200 men, were at Gibraltar; and that the frigate Philadelphia of 44 guns, Capt. Barron, was cruising off the port, to watch their motions, and prevent their capturing American vessels; which is the most they can do, until Congress declares the United States in a state of war with Tripoly.
These letters also contain many particulars of the Naval Action fought in the night between the 12th and 13th July, between an English squadron of five sail of the line (two 80s and three 74s) and a combined fleet of nine Spanish and French ships, mounting from 112 to 74 guns:—They state, that the two Spanish ships which blew up, mounted 112 guns each; that the English after capturing one of the French 74s, pursued the rest into Cadiz; and that on the 15th in the gut, they observed in every direction the floating remains of the wrecks. The Spanish ships blown up were supposed to be, the Royal Charles and S. Hermenegildo.
FAIRBANKS EXECUTED.
On Thursday last, Jason Fairbanks was executed at Dedham for the murder of Miss Elizabeth Fales. He was taken from the goal in this town, at 8 o'clock, by the Sheriff of this county, and delivered to the Sheriff of Norfolk county, at the boundary line between the two counties. He was in an open coach, and was attended therein by the Rev. Dr. Thacher, and two Peace Officers. From the county line in Norfolk he was conducted to Dedham goal, by Sheriff Cutler, his Deputies, and a corps of cavalry, under Capt. Davis; and from the goal in Dedham, to the place of execution was guarded by two companies of cavalry, and a detachment of volunteer infantry.—He mounted the scaffold about a quarter before three, with his usual steadiness, and soon after making a signal with his handkerchief, was swung off. After hanging about 25 minutes, his body was cut down, and buried near the gallows.
His deportment during his journey to, and at the place of execution, was marked with the same apathy and indifference which he discovered before and since his trial. We do not learn he has made any confession of his guilt.
The Governor of South-Carolina has accredited Citizen Simon Jude Chancoognie, as Commercial Agent of the French Commissary-General's department in that state.
Several of the officers of government of New-York lately dismissed, have since been appointed Members of the Convention of that state.

WHEREAS Richard Kenny, the husband of the subscriber, has in the Gazette of the 8th inst. charged me with absenting myself from his bed and board, and warned all persons not to trust me on his account; this is to inform the public that the said Richard Kenny ever since our marriage, has treated me in the most abusive and cruel manner; not providing for me and my children in a suitable manner during his absence, and when at home, has conducted with all the indecency that malice and barbarity could invent.
I have silently borne his unkindness without murmuring, and endeavoured to demean myself, as a good and faithful wife; when of late his cruelty had arisen to such a pitch, I had no alternative but to swear my life against him, and to withdraw to my father's house for protection, with those things which were comfortable for me and my children.
Whoever is acquainted with the said Richard Kenny, both in Dover and New-Castle where he has resided, will bear testimony to the truth of the above facts; and it is earnestly hoped that all good people who interest themselves in the sufferings of an unfortunate woman, will not lend an ear to tales of scandal published by a character of such consummate brutality.

CONSOLITARY LINES TO A FRIEND.
WEEP not, my friend, suppress the flowing tear, The foul redeem'd shall gain the realms on high, There free from pain and every anxious care, Improve the bliss, and live in endless joy. When two fond doves retreat to lonely shades, Tell o'er their loves and think no danger nigh, Perhaps some truant boy their joy invades, Kills one, and leaves its mate to mourn and die. Or, when two kindred souls, made one by love, Share joys refin'd, the world can never give, Some cruel foe, whom pity ne'er could move, Forever parts whom, parted, cannot live. Death levels, all, nor knows the least control, Nor heeds the tortures of his fatal dart; Friends, parents, lovers swell his mighty roll, And earth is press'd by many a broken heart. Can then, O Martha! nothing comfort bring? Is there no power that can from misery save? Mercy hath robb'd the monster of his sting, And gain'd triumphant victory o'er the grave.
