Extract of a letter from Mr. Leigh.
"LISBON, JUNE 1, '99.
"The Cadiz fleet is said to be put into Carthagena, with damage; and the French fleet to have anchored in a bay of Majorca, with Earl St. Vincent's near at hand.
"Here are accounts of an action between the Imperial armies and the French, in which the latter were totally defeated with the loss of 14,000. The Russians gave no quarter."
Accounts from the Mediterranean are contradictory. The probability, on an average of the reports, is, That the Spanish fleet, and not the French, have put into Carthagena, having experienced much damage from a strong Levant.
The confederate Imperial armies improve every moment. The latest accounts via Hamburg, bring their van to Turin—their left to Genoa, and their right to the borders of Switzerland.
Our Lisbon accounts prove, we think, that the Spanish, and not the French fleet, has put into Carthagena. If either has, the object of the combination is frustrated.

PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 25.
A pedant of Salamanca, Don Francisco de Cadet, lately opened his Dispensatory of Medicinal Balms at the capital of New-England. The sagacious Bostonians soon found reason to suspect that Don Francisco had been more experienced in the boiling than the healing art, and the Doctor left them.
The Neapolitan Republic, is, it seems, no more; thus another indistinguishable ephemeron has passed into the vale of shadows, and republicanism, in future, will assimilate with it, in the mind of a Neapolitan, no other ideas but murder and rapine. Some eighty or ninety years hence, two grave old councillors, with crimson velvet caps, (not caps of liberty) bearing in the streets of Naples, news of some bloody and ferocious insurrection in a distant and barbarous land, will call to mind the days of Gallic devastation, and one will say to the other—"The cruelty of these savages, brother, is exceeding great—the world hath not known any thing like it for many a long day." "Ay," says the other, "since the bloody French revolutionists, now long since wiped from the face of the earth, we have seen nothing like it."
With great pleasure I have heard the pieces signed "the Lay Preacher of Pennsylvania," approved of and applauded, by gentlemen whose knowledge, judgment and taste, entitle their opinions to high regard.
The ten Austrian companies, supposed by some accounts, to have fallen into the hands of the panic-stricken Saniculottes, it now appears by later dates are safe in a strong hold, breathing deftance to those regicides and assassins, and only waiting a reinforcement of provisions, to speak daggers to the bloody foe. As the Austrians have met with no loss to consider as this, since the opening of the campaign, it is the more pleasing to ascertain it to be unbounded. That brutal furor which poured droves upon droves of the wretched raggamuffins of the Revolution upon the scanty ranks of their enemies, has now wholly evaporated, and it will in future be as strange a sight to them to behold ten Austrian companies prisoners, as to see one English man of war brought into their harbours.
The French Republic, as the gentle Barras tells us, is going to defend at last even the cause of humanity: but alas the weapon wherewithal her defence is to be achieved, is the same whereby she has been exterminated from France. Vengeance, vengeance, bloody Revenge, is the mean by which humanity is to be rescued and defended. "Tis thus they cause a compromise." "Twixt wrangling contraries;" "As Irish logic never fails." "To gear draught horses by their tails."
The following passage, or one better expressed, may be found in the page of some future chronologist:
"1800. The centurial year—Final Downfall of the French Republic—Regicides punished—Europe restored to order—Universal Peace."
Bonaparte has told us that the French are good Mussulmen. If so, why should they whine at the death of two men, when they must believe that "God from all eternity decreed" that they should perish at that time and place.
Fifteen of the council of youngsters rose at once to bellow out the sanguinary iteration, Vengeance; like fifteen Asses running to the road side, to bray at a stoned passing by. But they need not be in a hurry for vengeance; there will be enough of it amongst them, very soon.
Paris, long the Paradise, has now completely become the Pandemonium, of Fools, Goosed by a million of deadly impulses, they rise up in the agonies of despair, crying Vengeance, vengeance, let us execute vengeance. Like one who when life was at its last ebb, desired to be mounted on his horse to give the enemy another charge but expired in the attempt.
A calculation on the probable durability of a new republic, in these enlightened times, must be somewhat analogous to that made by the Marquis de Condorcet, soon after the murder of his royal master. This laudable Marquis calculated the probable term of a poor citizen's life at six months. Now, your Republic hath been known to last not so long.
In evidence of the advancement of literature in America, the Editor of a periodical work in New-York has discovered Homer to be a blockhead, and the admiration excited by his works in every age, to be an evidence of the stupidity of mankind. One Maro, a Poet of Mantua, had the preposterous folly to scribble an imitation of his non-sensical rhapsody; and is set down for a full greater As than his original. Dryden and Pope are not touched upon by this sagacious being; but Southey's Joan of Arc is mentioned with applause. Risum teneatis?
Dr. Francis J. Smith, the Northampton Demolisher, who admires M'Kean for hanging the Quakers, has sent his speech to Tench Coxe, requesting the old Tory, as he, Smith, is not very imminent, in dislik-
guishing political inquiry from sedition) to prune it of its leonine expressions, and publish it in the Aurora. This the old Tory appears to have done, as the speech has been in the hands of Bache, and being either too long or too non-sensical even for his stupid meridian, was refused a place.

PATENT OILS.
AFTER long and tedious trials, the subscriber has at length brought forward a process and obtained a patent for the purifying of Sea Elephant and Spermaceti Oil.
The right in said Patent is vested in the subscriber, Richard Robotham, of Hudson; Jared Coffin, Esq. also of Hudson; and M c J. John Stephens, of Washington, State of Massachusetts, to either of whom applications on the subject, may be made.
This we presume is the greatest discovery of this kind that has ever been made, for or it has been certified by the best judges in the United States, to better the light fifty per cent. and give little or no smoke; therefore it is recommended to persons concerned in the Sea Elephant and Spermaceti fishery to come forward and promote this excellent discovery, as the best and easiest mode of purifying it in execution, is to begin the process on the fishing ground. They that have, rancid oil of Sea Elephant and Spermaceti on hand, may by applying to the subscriber be put in a way to purify the same.
