AMERICAN GALLANTRY.
Extract of a letter from captain Hoggard, of the ship Louisa, to his owners in this city, dated
Gibraltar, August 27, 1800.
"On the morning, of the 11th inst. we made Cape Spartel, after a favourable, tho' rather slow passage—the next day the wind changed to the eastward, and blew with such force, as to keep me and several vessels then in sight, bearing on and off for 9 days. On the evening of the 19th it changed and came round to the westward; but it was so light, that though we did every thing to make the best advantage of it, we found ourselves at day light but a small distance advanced off Tariffa. At the same time we discovered several French and Spanish privateers and gun boats making the best use of their sails and sweeps to get out. There were then four American brigs in sight, one near the Spanish shore, and three altern of us; two of the latter we had spoke some days before; they were the Greyhound, from Boston and the Huntress, from New-York—the others were unknown to us. Several of the privateers fired at the brig in shore, who appeared to be without guns, and at length a gun boat approached very close, she was obliged to strike. Two of the privateers then stood to the westward, and as they passed fired at the Greyhound; but as some other fails have hove in sight, they left her to their companions, who thinking she would at any time become an easy prey, as well as the other two brigs that were unarmed, bore directly down upon us, accompanied by the gun boat that had waited by the brig they took, only to put a few men on board. As they both failed very fast, and made use of their sweeps, they were soon near us, and at 6 A. M. began their fire, which we returned. After a continual firing for 6 galleys, finding they had cut our rigging in such a manner as to make our ship perfectly unmanageable, the privateer made an attempt to board on our stern, while the gun-boat lay upon our larboard quarter, and kept up a constant fire at about pistol shot. They first attempted to enter at the cabin windows, and burnt them in with their muskets, but were repulsed. They next tried upon our starboard quarter, but those who got on the sides were forced back. They then lashed their bowspike to our mizen chains, but the ship taking a broad sheer, it broke, and swinging round, they were brought directly under our quarter guns, which was constantly fired into them loaded with grape, and accompanied with three cheers, when they made the best of their way to the Spanish shore, attended by their friend the gun-boat. They had scarcely left us, when a vessel with Spanish colours came out, and fired several shots at us, but on being answered, and finding us in a better disposition for another action than our flattered appearance evinced, thought proper to return. During the engagement, we had the pleasure to see the three brigs escape."
The privateer (as we have learned from several persons who came from Algeziras, where the put in after leaving us) acknowledged, having had eleven killed and thirteen wounded most of them dangerously among the former was the first lieutenant, who was shot on our shrouds and among the latter their commander, who had been formerly a captain in the French army, he had lost one arm before and now received a ball in the other. In the gun-boat they had one killed. We think their loss must have been greater, as most of the time they were close and we fired principally grape and canister shot. The privateer had 3 masts, with latine sails, the mounted two brass long twenty four pounders in the bow and eight nines in her waist, with twivels and was full of men.
On board our ship, I was the only person hurt, a ball of four oz. penetrated my right shoulder and has since been extracted at my back. But our rigging is a perfect wreck, all our shrouds, stays, braces &c. are cut to pieces, and many of the spars entirely destroyed. Our fore top gallant sail (one of the least exposed) has nearly five hundred shot holes in it. Our colours was twice shot away.
I need not mention the bravery of my officers and men. They have already been overpowered by the praises of the inhabitants and soldiery of this place, for the action from first to last, was full in their view) and the Governor himself has done me the honor of a visit, to express his approbation of their conduct. Indeed we experience the greatest attention and friendship from every one. The Commissioner of the Navy has permitted us to sail into the King's Mole, and offers us any thing that will suit us to refit from the Navy stores.
[The Louisa mounts twelve sixes, with 30 men.]
The Editor of the (New-York) Daily Advertiser, has been favoured by a respectable gentleman of that city, with the following extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated 1st September.
"Our Commissioners, some say, will return; nothing done; others say that trade will be opened with France, and all other questions left over till a peace. After recalling all their diplomatic agents from America, taking our ships, and imprisoning our citizens, France offered to treat as if the Convention of 1778 had never been broken—This was inadmissible; they then proposed a treaty which should answer the one of '94 with England; that could not be granted In short we differed on the threshold; they would only do us justice if we went to war with England; as they could not expect we would do this, it was in fact a denial of justice. Perhaps they are governed in their conduct by hopes that the approaching election will give them a President whose views may more accord to their own; and that by rendering abortive the present mission, they might be instrumental in opposing the re election of Mr. Adams. I think they will be disappointed in the fervidity of the person whose election they mean to favor, and that though he appears at the head of an anti-federal party, he will be found to be a friend of the Constitution, and a true American."
"We have great rumours of peace; but it seems that Austria will only treat for a general one, and the re-establishment of a political balance, whilst France still wishes separate ones, which in other words means wars and revolutions. The government of Buonaparte, which at first stopped all the fashions, has now yielded to the jacobin spirit; many chiefs are employed, and the purchasers of national and emigrant lands restored; while he neglects restoring peace and good order to his country. When he displaced the criminal and incapable Directory, he declared his happiness could only be complete, and his usurpation justified, by the re-union of the French; by giving to France a representative government in the sense of the age and revolution, with liberty of person and protection of property; but, alas, it appears he is only active to acquire new honor and new glories to aggrandize himself; but he is mild-ken, for in the eyes of the good and virtuous, he is daily falling."
COMMUNICATION.
Last evening a New Comedy, called MANAGEMENT, was produced for the first time upon the American Stage, and was well received by a numerous audience. The Play itself, has very little, if any claim to originality. The character of "Mist" the petty manager of a country Theatre" is introduced in a very pleasing manner, and has a good effect. In it we behold conduct brought upon the stage, which is very generally practised behind the scenes. However, we believe our Manager is free from a great deal of that self pride which he represented last night. In the character of "Mist", he gave universal satisfaction, and the performers in general used every exertion to make the piece go off well. As no expense, in scenery and dresses, has been spared, we hope that a brilliant American audience, will honor the Theatre with their presence on Wednesday Evening.
ANECDOE.
During the late engagement between the American Frigate Constellation, and the French National Frigate Vengeance, an American sailor, intent on nothing but capturing the Frenchman, remained in the heat of action, "J----- Lieutenant don't put any more balls in the guns, or you'll spoil the Prize!"
Nathaniel Olcott was brought to town on Friday morning, and lodged in confinement.

ODE TO POPULARITY.
O, POPULARITY, thou giddy thing, What grace, or profit dost thou bring? Thou art not honesty, thou art not fame; I cannot call thee by a worthy name; To say I hate thee, were not true, Contempt is properly thy due, I cannot love thee, and despise thee too. Thou art no patriot but the veriest cheat; That ever traffick'd in deceit A fickle, bellowing loud Freedom and frenzy to the mobbing crowd; And what canst thou, if thou canst raise Illuminations and huzzas Tho' half the city sunk in one bright blaze? A Patriot! no; for thou dost hold in hate The very peace and welfare of the State; When anarchy assaults the Sovereign's throne, Then is the day, the night thy own, Then is thy triumph, when the foe Levels loose dark insidious blow, Or strong rebellion lays the country low. Thou canst affect humility to hide Some deep device of monstrous pride Conscience and charity pretend For compassing some private end And in a canting conventicle noise Long scripture passages can quote When persecution rankle in thy throat. Thou hast no sense of nature at thy heart No ear for science and no eye for art Yet confidently dost decide at once This man a wit, and that a dunce; And, strange to tell, how e'er unjust, We take thy dictates upon trust, For, if the world will be deceived, it must. In truth and justice thou hast no delight Virtue thou dost not know by sight But as the Chymist by his skill From dross and dregs a spirit can distil Lo from the prisons or the stews, Bulles, blasphemers, cheats and Jews, Shall turn to heroes, if they serv'd thy views. Thou dost but make a ladder of the mob Whereby to climb into some courtly job There, safe repining, warm, and snug, Thou answerest, with a patient snug Miserants, begone, who cares for you Ye base born, brawling, clamorous crew You've serv'd my turn, and, vagabonds a lieu.

ERRATUM.
In our paper of yesterday, in the address of the Committee of Correspondence to the Committee in Providence—instead of "and we apprehended" read "and as we apprehend."
A Mr. Dobbin, printer of the Baltimore Telegraph, one of the most stupid, dull papers in America, tells his readers that "Brown & Relf & Wayne, conductors of the Philadelphia Gazette and Gazette of the United States, are implicated in the forgery of a tale respecting the revolt of the negroes in South Carolina"—And this elegant paragraph writer addresses as his authority for the assertion, the AURORA!!!!!!
Citizen Dobbin, printer of Baltimore, will please to inform the public where the newspaper, entitled the Philadelphia Gazette and Gazette of the United States, conducted by Brown & Relf & Wayne, is printed as no such paper is known in this City.

A man, passionately fond of wrestling, could not, however, succeed in that exercise at the public games, but was overcome, disgraced and thrown. After some time, he took it into his head to study and practice physic. Being asked his motive for choosing that profession, he answered, "I am determined to bring them to the ground one way or the other."
