NEW-YORK, May 15.
From the Mediterranean.
On Saturday last arrived in Boflon Har
f bour the fliip Favorite, capt. Ellery from
f Malaga, via Gibralter, 32 days from the
i litter place, by which we have received
|j the following information :
§j A Letter from a House of thefirjl refpe labili
ty at Gibralter , dated March 3 r ft, 1800,
i/forms that
“ Affairs in Italy have rather a favora
ble afped; and it is probable more of that
I country will be freed from the French this
* summer, than was expeded.
“ The remains of the army of Egypt,
| (late Buonaparte’s) have capitulated with
i the Turks, and are to be sent home, and
nor to serve again during the war. The
j return of these people to France, will be
I of no service to Buonaparte’s cause, as they
blame him much for leaving them.”
VALUABLE CAPTURE.
The following particulars are extracted from
the minutes of thejhip Favorite, capt. Ellery ,
from Gibs alter.
“ On the Bth April, fell in with the Le
viatheu of 74 guns, Admiral Duckworth,
who had with him, two Spanifli frigates
and seven Spanifli merchantmen, captur
ed two days before, bound from Cadiz to
Lima. They bad been with Admiral
Duckworth all the night, preceding their
capture, mistaking her for one of thern
felves, and did not till the morning difeo
ver their error, when the two frigates were
engaged by the Leviathen, to whom they
itruck after a fliort adion !!
The Swifture, capt. Hallowell, had been
sent by the Admiral in chafe of other (hips
of the fame convoy—fucccfs unknown.
Loss of the Britijh Jhip, Queen Charlottee , of
too Guns.
We have letters from the Streights,
which announce the loss of this valuable
fliip which took fire, on the 17th March
lafl, and blew up. The particulars, are,
that flie took fire in fight of Leghorn, by
accident, and was totally consumed: out
of 800 fouls on board, but 130 were saved
—the captain and lieutenant, and many
other officers were among the loft; flie was
Lord Keith’s flag fliip, but fortunately his
Lordfliip was on fliore, when the disaster
took place.
Extra!! of a letter from a gentleman in Cal
cutta to his corufpendent in Philadelphia.
“ The friends to the United States of
America here have been agreeably surpris
ed by tlie arrival of an adventure from an
American East-India Company. Indeed
it has long been a matter of aftonifliment
here, that among the many instances of
great enterprise, to form an American In
dia company has been so long negleded ;
fincc, by the means of a permanent com
pany only, the neceflary confidence and
credits are to be established throughout In
dia. The time allowed the company’s r
geuts to procure goods, and the rendering
any further fliipinenls of specie immedi
ately from America unneceflary ; all these
circumstances, when combined with oth
ers equally obvious, rmift make a saving of
at lealt 25 per cent, to the concerned.”
PHILADELPHIA, May 17.
IVortman's Tteatife cn Political Enquiry ,
has made its appearance at New-York,
from the prefsof D. Campbell. This work,
which has been written for some time, ap
pears at a period when the fubjeift has be
come one of the molt interefling to the
public. A work like that of Mr. Wort
maii, written in a flyle of simplicity and
elegance, wherein the fubjett is difeufled
with all the calmness and impartiality of a
philosopher, mud at this crisis of political
hostility again ft the right of difeuflion, be
lifeful and valuable. As a production of
our own country, and totally diverted of
party lpirit, it merits particular regard,
since no man, whether monarchical or re
publican, who does not deny the right of
enquiry, can find any sentiments in it hos
tile to that plain and liberal right.
The work is divided into ten heads, the
firfl fix of which are appropriated to gene
ral reasonings upon the fubjedt, applicable
to all governments. The leventh applies
the i’tihjedl of the preceding head to repre
sentative governments; and the eighth to
* that of the United States. The ninth con
siders the press as a vehicle of communica
tion ; and the tenth contemplates the means
of future improvement. The whole, in
cluding theintroduiftion, is sub-divided in
to f'eventeen chapters. An appendix is
added, containing the constitution of the
United States, with the •mendments there
to. Throughout the whole the author has
executed it with no inconfiuerable degree
j. ot credit to himfelf, and perhaps advan-
Lr tape to society.
-A 5 delicate and often a difficult talk
v j— ~
to quote from an
any just idea of his sentiments dVftyle. —
The following paragraph may, hVwever,
convey some idea of that impartiality and
temper which pervades the whole of Mr.
Wortman’s valuable performance.
44 Every departure from truth is perni
-44 cious. Impartiality fliould be a perpe
-44 tual attribute of the press. Neither/ear
“ on the one fide, nor the hope of reward
44 on the other, fliould intimidate or influ
-44 ence its enquiries. It fliould neither be
“ bribed to lavifli unmerited applause,
44 nor menaced into silence—The ufeful
-44 nefs of periodical publications depends
44 upon their steady and inflexible adher
-44 ence to redtitude. The moment that
44 corrupt, or foreign considerations are
44 fuffered to biafs, or stain their pages,
“ they become injurious to the general
44 interefls of society.” Pages 248 and 249.
