rife to this mission had slept. France had
not only refufed reparation for the part, and

demanded tribute as the price of an

the spirit of the country, roused by these
repeated injuries and insults, comes in aid
of the government; meafurts of preparation
and resistance are adopted, and an universal
indignation burst forth against France and
her adherents. Then this sleeping zeal was
awakeued—by what ?By the dread left this
public spirit and indignation fhoulJ strength
en the hands of our government, arm the
nation against France, and ftr:p off all
popularity and power from the individuals
who were devoted to her interests, and ex

was this evil to be averted ? By persuading
France to tiead back fotne "f her offenfive

to change her fyltem of menace ant! bluster.

resentments might be disarmed, and our
spirit of resistance lulled a(]eep. How was
France to be thus perfuadi'd ? By a million,
which, going under the fandlion and with
the credential of her partisans here, might
obtain the confidence of her government.
The mission, therefore was sent.

Mr. Otis said, he was diretted by the
committee of d fence to propol'e a resolu
tion to the house on a fubjeft highly inr-re fl
ing to the United States. He supposed that
it -was known to every gentleman of the
house that a report had prevailed for many
d:.ys pad, relative to the imprefTment of a
number of American seamen from a vessel of
wur of the United States into an armed ship
of Great Britain. The committee were sor
ry to find upon some enquiry, there is to''
much reason to believe the report founded
on fait, though they have no official infor
mation on this fubjeft. It is therefore con
ceived bv the committee that a tranfadlion
of this fort, calls loudly for the immediate
attention of every branch of government;
and though they have full and perfeft confi
dence that the executive will institute an im
mediate enquiry into the circumstances of
this affair, demand reparation and take all
such measures as lie within his sphere to pre
vent a repetition offimilar insults, yet they
also deem it necefTary that the legislature of
the Union should shew to Great Britain and
to the world that these inflances of abuse of
power excite a lively sensibility, and that we
are determined to protest our fteg from the
insults of any and every nation—lt is not
improbable, said Mr. 0< that this circum
flance may call for some leeiflative provision
and that it mav be necefTary to review and
amend the aft for the relief and protection
of American feamen—for unless injuries of
this nature can be. remedied and prevented,
little success can be expefted to attend the
Infancy of our naval establishment, which
■within and without these doors was now con
fideredby all imnartial men to be of the hipheft
importance to this country —From these con
fidei ations he was induced to offer the fol
low! ig resolution for the adoption of the
house.

that the Beys of Egypt having embodied a

Sept. attacked the army of Buonaparte.
The Beys met. as they expe&ed, a hoid re
sistance ; but fuceeded so far as to dislodge
them from the capital of Egypt, and its
neighbourhood ; and oblige them to retreat
t® Rofetta. Th s battle continued during
the whole d.iy j and the loss on both fides
was very great. The Divsn of Constanti
nople were in daily expedition of receiving
the information, that Buonaparte had capi
tulated ; as they could neither advance nor
retire ; and were in want of nectffaries. A
confirmatory account mentions, that the
French army was reduced to 10.000 men.
After thnfe repeated losses, B. proposed a
capitulation to the Turks ; —ftipulating fcr
a fafe paflage from Egypt ; but the Beys
refufed it as they were convinced of forcing
him to surrender at discretion.

their bodies buried at its foot. In march
ing from Alexandria he had battles with the
Mamehieks at Ralicnanie, Chebreifte, near
the Pyran:ids, and at the gates of Cairo,
which he entered the 22d July. After en
tering Cairo, he employed himfelf in the
organization of the Egyptain provinces.'

THE BREST FLEET DESTROYED.
LONDON,
Dispatches from the lord lieutenant of Ire
land, were yesterday received, stating, that on
the 12th instant, a sea engagement between
16 ships, was seen from the isle of Tory
[ln the N. of Ireland, county of Donegal.]
It began at three o'clock, P. M. and con
tinued between five and fix hours; One
vessel was totally dismasted ;—one had all
her fails and rigging shot away ;_fi ve took
flight, and fhee'red off westerly ; which were
pursued and two vessels funk at the close
of the engagement.
It is without doubt, the above ships were
part of the fleet which failed with troops
■i o m Brest. Our lquadron under Sir. J. B.
Warren, on the 10th w;is off Brondhaven ;
and the squadron, under commodore Home,
confuling of three fail of the line and two
frigates, pa fled the Shannon the ith. One
or the other of these squadrons niuft have
been in this engagement; and we have reason
to believe that not a single enemy's vessel has
escaped. The follow.ng contains further in
formation. On the 12th, there was a lea
fight between one of our squadrons (probably
Warren's) and the French ; and as we be
lieve a decided one. The account is from a
person, who, from the (ho re, s aw the battle;
I who adds, that three French frigates anchor
[ed in the bay of Donegal, and landed their
troops; which were driyen baok by the in
habitants. That fix transports were taken.
These frigates and thole engaged off Tory,
are supposed to constitute all the Brest
fqua'dron.
The two French frigates Justice and Dia
na which escaped from the battle of the Nile,
have been taken by the Coloflus, Gapt. Mur-
of 74. guns, off Malta. «
From Liibon, Oft. 6, we learn, that ad
vicas from Lord St. Vincents state, that,
(ince the battle off the Nile, the lkuation of
Buonaparte had changed greatly ; and that
ie had now more enemies than had
triends. Six of' the French (hips taken off
the Nile, are now equipped, and taken into'
:he Eritifh service. In addition to this, the
Coloflus, besides the two frigates, has taken
Ij° transport ftiips, and destroyed many.
Ihe Dutch have in «he Texel a fleet of 11
uiil of the line and 9 frigates.—The admiral's
(hip is the Washington, of 74 guns. In the
Mayes, at Amllerdam, and Rotterdam, they
have 12 more of the line and 6 frigates. |

Ok, FENNO,-
IN a paper a few days ago put in a con
spicuous part of the; piper an advertifeinent
which appeared in a Petorfburg paper, of
the Slaves of John Nicholas by a fheriff, to
pay a debt of J. N. J. N. of the House of
Representatives cannot but fiippole that he
was understood to b; the person meant, and
therefore bugs Mr. F» w.II take the trouble
to enquire of persons from that part of tlie
country, from whom lie will find, that a
different person was meant there.
Reflections on Nicholas's Speech,
Hy a correspondent.
" There-is not a man amongst those who
are the most diilltisfied with feme of the
measures of government, who Would not
fight as soon again ft the French, as against
any other nation that 'lnjured thsun."—Bold
assertion ! But go on—" He befieved there
is a perfect unanimity in this refpedt. Let i
the goveriffrient, therefore, f.iid he, take Care
net to infule dilTatisfadtion in the minds of
these people, by carrying things with too
high a band, by opprelfing one part of the
people to benefit another."—Thus we find
this bold aiTeition contradicted in the next
breath. In pi,tin Bnvlifh, his language is
1 this : I (Nicholas) and my associates would
1 fight as soon against the French as any other
nation : But let government take care not
to give u« dilTatisfadtion by cartving things
with too high a hand, and thus compel- us to
falfify ourprofeffions, Surely of such a man,
we may, in words, a{k, " are
you honest, are you wife," See. See. It is i
astonishing,.Mr. Nicholas, that you (hould not j
have known, that we have learnt to look up- '
on these things in their true light, and that !
when you talk of your readirtei's to fight your ;
quondam' friends, we constantly revert,
with keen indignation, to yotiradtions which
deny it. If you are ready at length to
resist, by arms, that oppression you so long '
foftered, and I might fay created, why stand '
you up a monument of inconsistency to pal- !
liate the crime of a fellow, who would fell
Ins country for a French peace. Mr. John
Nicholas ! your fame for being the only >
honest man of your party, will not survive '
many such speeches as tills. Tour conduct,
with regard to Logan, has eminently called
forth your assurance ; and common people
begin to fay of you, that you are either a
very weak or » very wicked man. ;

COMMUNICATION.
A the Regimental surgeon,
of Ridiculous Memory.
SIR,
THE villainous misrepresentations,'
which you have wantonly offered in your ad
dresses to the honorable, the Legiilature of
the State of Pennsylvania, on the all import
ant fubjedt of the origin of our late epide
mic, have been amply refuted by Mr. Detec
tor, and the accompaning certificates of Phi
lips, Doyle, Sparks, &c.
Truth is a unit, and much depends upon
the deyelopement of it. If your objedt was
to benefit mankind in general and our fellow
citizens in particular, why did you adopt
the dodtrine of fabrication and endeavor to I
mifiead that enlightened body to whom you
had the preemption to address vourfclf; and I
at a time too, when they were contemplat-;
ing upon the most eligible means, to avert the
future horrors of the inoft insidious of all ■
poilons.
If Medicus had waited with patience till
you had finiihed your Iketch relative to the '
origin of the Yellow Fever—the viporous egg
might have been fecundated e're thatperiod,
and the serpent have produced those conse
quences peculiar to its species, and arrested
the members in their opinions j .but fortunate
for the cause of truth and humanity the in
famous reptile has been destroyed in its germ
and the procreator detedled in his illicit com
merce.
When a man who aflumes a profeffional cha
radter, does,either from ignorance, or deficrn,
envelop truth in a fable garb v or ulher it
to the world in a mutilated form, is not in
titled to the epithet, or civility of a gentle
man, but in contra-diftindtion, is deserving
of terms the most opprobious. Whenever a
violater of the golden principles of truth and
found philosophy, protrudes beyond his ordi
nary fphpre of adtion, it is the duty of eme
ry citizen to lay on violently, till the animsl
retracts his bead within his'ihell—The alar
mingphvfical evil, that your flimfy produc
tions would if they had suc
ceeded with the Legiilature, involved our
j citizens in the horrors and devaluation of an
i annual malady, which ultimately must have
depopulated artel laid waste one of the fined
; and most flourilhing cities in the world : an
apprehension of those consequences, together
with the moral turpitude foftrongly marked
in your miftatements, have deservedly drawn
down the contempt and ridicule of all well
disposed citizens, and you will be execrated
by all fcientific men, for descending tq such
low and paltry artifice, approaching to jaco
binic intrigue, toeftablilha favorite, but fal
lacious opinion.
The multiplyed abuse which you have so
libera Hy heaped upon those young gentlemen
remarkable for their profeffional talents, who
stile themselves the Academy of Medicine •
it is apparent you haVe fallen into the fame
degrading error which you so much repro
bate in Jlfedtcus.—You Sir, appear to be a
compound, heterogeneous bodv, whose in
telligence is wholy inadequate to the explana
tion of any phenomenon, that has or may
occur, in confluence of an alteration of the
police laws of the City of Philadelphia, such
as paving the streets, arching the dock, or
building with brick instead of wood. That
' the Yellow Fever is a species of the fame <re
nus of the bilious fever, but of a ffighe
grade is evident to every ph:ibf"ophic phyf/
cian ; and you alk the <jueftio;y' how do th> fe
disiingutsbcd phyliciaus, whom you f.y mn
fwreoblervation has convinced, that the Yel
low is only a higher grade of bilious
I fever, ac count f«r their having become con
; tagious, and of having afiumed such a* ag
| gravated and horribleform"—fince the above
improvements —Vhe consequences refultmg
] trorn the rap;:l increase of brick buildings,
" | from paving the ftreees generally, and from
" arching the dock, are so evidently manifeft
to every person who is any ways conversant
' in phyiics, that it alnioft lupercedes the necef
iity of any further animadversions ; but a
: farther illustration to the Regimental Doctor
who no doubt, may have capacity tn digest it,
■ will induce me to inform him, that all hard
bodies, refkdt light and heat in proportion to
1 their denlity andbrilliancy; therefore since the
great increaie of the city, in refpedt to build
ing of brick hotifes, paving the streets and
arching the dock, the quantity of the caloric
principle,, in a given space, in the c'.ty of
1 Philadelphia, is in the diredt ratio to the
: multiplication of the angles of refledtion and
refraction of the rays of light and heat,which
are eminently encrealed since those improve
ments—Before the city was thus improved,
tlie heat was absorbed by the ground :yid mud,
; consequently very little or no reflection or re
t iradtion of either heat or light took place,
hence the accumulation of the matter of fire
was infinitely lels—Alfothe evaporation from"
the ground and mud serveS to corredt the sen
sible heat of the atmosphere by converting it
into latent, Under the accumulated flits'of
heat during the fuminer f'eafon in this city,
the vital principle of the atmosphere is vaftlv
diinini filed, in consequence of a partial va
cuum being produced, which was not so much
th.- cafe when we had ground and mud instead
of bricks for pavements.
1 he city of Philadelphia is comparatively
i an immense earthen vessel, with many apart-
I ments in it, amazing-ly well conftrudted for
j chimical decomposition of matters such as
, to admit of myriads of l'ources from which
| the poiionous gas are and may be thrown out
and which are generated much sooner now
than formerly, in consequenCe of the greater
degree of heat ; and these gas are rendered
i more poisonous for want of the usual quan
j tit) of oxygene to dulcify them, or convert
j them into new substances. These gas super
' added to the already sickly state of the atmos
phere of Philadelphia, serve to contaminate
the air we breathe, and render it infinitely
| more pernicious to life and health, than pol'-
fibly could have been the cafe when Philadel
phia streets were ground instead of brick.-
| It is a well known fadt, that ground has
the property of impure air, as well it has to
absorb heat, and it has long been the custom
; to bury for a time, all kuids of clothing and
j bedding that were impregnated with poison ;
I therefore all the exifted previous
j to the paving the streets, arching the dock, or
previous to the great increase of brick build
j ings, which at that time produced bilious fe
\ vers, are now aggravated and multiplyed in
an proportion, and operate on the hu
man body, in that ratio to their multiplica
tion ; hence we are afflidted with that high
grade of fever denominated the Yellow Fe
ver, which I apprehend will fully resolve eve
ry phenomena relative to its " contagious
quality, and to the aggravated and horrible
forms it alTumes."
j I flatter myfelf I have answered the ques
tion propounded by the Regimental Surgeon,
to his convidtion, and to the fatisfadtion of j
every intelligent reader; I pre fume I have in
this illustration pointed out the great physical
j evil and its origin ; and if it were to IKnn> J
late our incorporated bodies to bring into 1
! operation the important design they have in 1
j agitation, it would be a cause of infinite J
j pinefs to me. As the doctor has thrown the
gauntlet todifcufs this important question, I
have no objedtion to read his arguments,
provided he reasons upon principles,and when
he has a fact, let it be resolved into those
principles. A man at bis post.
