l
t iPoftT MAllow,
Deib Fbibjtd—Before our arriv
al at Pori Mdhhn, I waq Icdto believe
from Iliad heard of the place,
that it Was One of the poorest in (he
Mediterranean*-but I have (band it
'ottacWise. The inhabitants appear
(0 lo more peace and comfort than
at any other port I have been at.—
There arc very few, If any beggars,
which h sufficient to prove that the
place is not so poor a» has been re
presented.
The town is kept very clean and
neat, and every thing has the appear
ance of ease, the roughness of the
pavement renders walking disagreca
bJe—jack-asses are in common use
for riding, and it appears very ludi
crous to fee ladies mounted on such
ugly built obstinate beings. Mahon.
and iis vicinity is full of wind mills.
George Town is about two miles from
Mahon, and is nearly ns large; both
places arc full of billiard tables, and
varioas other instruments for gam
bling. This is an elegant harbour and
as safe as a mole, hut litis the misfor
tune of being in possession of those
who do not know how to appreciate
its worth. There i* a navy yard here
which might be made a very fine one.
though the buildings are now in a state
of decay. We have had the use of it <
and all the buildings—there Is no na
val foree of any kind kept up here.
»*He is as laty as a Tort Mahon sol
dier” is a Apinmon saying among our
brave tars, and I must confess they
are (he laziest set of men 1 cvefr saw;
they seldom appear In uniform, atid
their clothes look as if they never
were in (ho wash tub—when (he sun
shines See them in groups
basking ip its beams, employing their
time In picking the vermin off tkeir
clothes ahd bodies—they are all Con
victs transported here from Spain*—
A few Svceks before our arrival a ship
arrived here with 150 On hoa r d in
double irons, who were immediately
released and habited like soldiers; they
receive for pay, per day 10 rents and
their bread—all of them have the look
of villians, they steal every thing they
can lay their hands on; e*eu *he tomb
is not sacred to them, they have bro
ken up marble monuments and sold
the pieces, which are very good mer
chandize here.
The Spaoi.h officers are a body ol
men who come here either to live in
idleness or amass fortunes—to pro
cure the latter they spare no means in
their power. •’They will smuggled ex
tort, accept of bribes, and wink at
many practices which it Is their duty
to prevent, and their interest not tc
see.
The Minorcans are a different set
of people from t he Spaniards, speak a
different language, and are an honest
industrious set of men. They cannot
endure a Spaniard and consider it an
insult to be called by that name.—
Our hospital surgeons have been trea
ted with the greatest politeness and
attention by the inhabitants.
As to the justice administered here
I shall give you hut one instance,
which is now the common topic of con
versation at this place. A respecta
ble gentleman who lives between Fort
Mahon and George Town, has a very
profligate son, who married about six
' months since, lie very soon run out
the sum of money his father gave him
and went to him for more, which the
old gentleman refused and remonstra
ted on the impropriety of his conduct.
The son left him, and immediately
went to two soldiers, to bargain with
them to murder his father, on whose
death (he whole property would de
volve on him, as the only child. The
soldiers agreed to do if, for two doub
loons to be paid on (up execution ol
the deed. But as he had not the dou
bloons, he wanted them to wait fui
pay till he got possession of the pro
perty. But they thinking, that, af
ter the deed w as done, the other wouhl
not pay, refused doing it without be
ing paid before hand, some alterca
tion arose and (he son left them, say
ing that he could get it done for hall
the money. The soldiers unwilling
to lose this opportunity of making mo
ney, lodged information against hilr
before a magistrate. He was appre
hended, and on trial it was fully prov
ed tbat his intention was to have his
father murdered. The soldiers own
cd they would have done it had he
paid them the money. The soldier!
were released, and'the son confined
for three months, which time is now
out, and he was set at liberty a feu
days since, no doubt lo commit a deet
which ought to fill the soul with hor
ror.
From what 1 have stated, you wU
perceive that the i\ti m vet*y slender
thick bind the Minorcans to Soaim

rXTtiRESTIXi EXTRACT
Os a letter from One of our officers,
to his friend in this town, dated at
Cadiz, March 9.
“In January We again sailed for
Algiers. The batteries of this strong
city again present a formidable ap
pearance. The dey has finally con
cluded to accept our treaty, though
when signing it he said he was on his
hack, while we presented a knife to (
his throat—but of this you probably
know more than we do. In January
We reached Gibraltar* We found
tire celebration of the carnival had
rendered it much gayer than usual.
[ Sortie nights the streetes and houses
were filled with persons masked.—
Masquerades are found to lie so tie?
moralizing (if the Word may be used )
that they have been prohibited by
1 most of our states legislatures. On
1 the 27th we departed and anchored
1 here oa the 2Stli ultimo.
‘‘Cadiz is a regular, well built city
nearly insulated, containing fifty-six
1 thousand inhabitants. It bus public
7 squares, and the VJameda, for walks;
* this is next (he sea atxl lias a plea
j sant prospect of (he bay; Ac. A
church that whs commenced some
time in (be Ifitli century, is admired
» for its architecture. It will never
; be completed, sor r a reason that
11: cheeks many undertakings—want of
funds. It Is reported that hisCatho-
I lie majesty is hostile towards the U.
* j States. The people of Cadiz have
I I not evinced such a disposition to my
knowledge. The unusual changes
0 j in the seasons that have produced so
! much distress in parts of Europe and
I our country• appear to be extending
to the neighborhood. Though this
| is said to be always a time ofthe year
* i when rains aro frequent, none has
11 fallen for a considerable time past.—
“ i Processions are often met in the
j: streets invoking the sa ; nts, whose
business it may be to furnish water
to let them now have a supply. The
0 j only public amusements in (his Chris
'* tian country are to be seen at the
Circus on Sundays. The equestrian
* performance is by a company just ar
-1 rived from England, and are such as
we see in Boston; but (he feats dis
* played on the wire and rope are truly
astonishing. There appears to be a
1 groat many soldiers in Cadiz, destin
c ed to act in South America; hot from
what I can learn, not more than two
* regiments will embark to reinforce the
I royal army. The fair sex are pretty
1 much as described by Byron in bis
0 Chiide HaroMe —as ready to heal as
inflict a wound. As you arc a mar
e ried man, you have not heard me
‘ speak of the women in the Mediter

(hem beautiful, and all strangers find

il Letters of Junius. —Wc have heard
i- and read several accounts of some
publication in England, attempting to
- prove that M. de Lolme, the author
f of an essay on the British constitu
g lion and a native of Geneva, was the
•- author of Junius; but we never were
n informed until lately, of the proofs
i- which were given to the public in
’- support of this opinioo. Mr. G. F.
s Busby, a gentleman well known to
i- the literary world, is the author of
e the book. The principal arguments
s which he uses, are (he following:—
d Ho says Uie objection that a forcign
v er could not have produced the hap
v piest model of English style, is ren
d dered nugatory by the instance of
'- Barcettr, Badins and Fuseli, and van

Swedish ConitlAitionso of a paper
called the News Examiner, whd of
many pamphlets oh political and
economical subjects; all wvitten by
him in the English language, and tru- I
ly English in their matter, manner y
and spirit. It appears, however, that ,
the Letters of Junius oh being exam- (
ined on this point, contain nearly one
hundred palpable Gallicisms, and a* 1
many phraadl, bseides whole passages 1
quoted literally from M. de Lolme’s |
translation of the Essay on the Con- j
stitutioo, which did not appear in En
glish till four years after Junius 1
had ceased to write. The chief I
objection, as Mr, Busby says, is .
the discordance of the hand wri- (
ting; but lie contends- (hat as> Ju
nlus desired that bis secret should pc- *
rish with him, he was not likely to en
trust his printer with the tangible
proof afforded by bis genuine auto
grajdi. It Whs probable too* that his
friend Lord Geo. Saekville, Maclean,
or some other of the retainers of Shel
burne House, or Boyd, or Boyd’s friend
the late Lord Auckland, might co-o
peratc with him. Mr. Busby also in
forms us that the seals which were
impressed upon the several packets
of.fuuius which were sent to Wood
fall’s office, were all Swift’s. It al
so appears (hat M Lolme lived near
ly fony years in England, in which
period he suffered alt the vicissitudes
incident to the struggles of a lofty ge
nius, wit bout patrimony or effective
patronage, sometimes acquiring sud
den wealth from speculations in the
fuods, and at others being in want of
the common necessaries of life. His !
habits, pursuits and society during i

suqh as indicate a turn of mind like !
that of the unknown Junius, lie al- ■
ways delighted in mystery, and his

From a late London Paper.
Affecting Incident.—The following
instance of manly fortitude, resigna
tion and self possession, is recorded 1
in a country paper. Two coracle men
were fishing together in the Towy, ;
between Laugattock and Landito, a
about four o’clock in the morning of
Tuesday sen’oight, when one oP them
j hearing a plunge into the water, and ;
• perceiving at the same instant that
something had got into the net, hasti-vj.
ly drew the end that he held in his I
, hand towards him, fully persuaded
that he had caught a Salmou; but his
i confusion and terror may be more
, easily conceived than described, on ;
I the head of his partner appearing a- 1
. bove the water. The coracle of the 1
| latter had been upset by the entan
. glement of the net, and the sufferer
, now supported himself by taking hold
. of his friend’s coracle. In this situ
-5 at ion so eminently perilous to both,
, by the management of the man in the
» coracle, who followed the direction of
5 (he other, they had almost reached
. land, when it was discovered (hat the
5 latter was so entangled in the net as
, to preclude the possibility of their
. proceeding any further!—A ray of
, hope, however, still remained, that by
. pulling back to (he place where (fee
r poor devoted sufferer had fallen into
{ the water, he might possibly be able
to extricate himself from (be net; but
i sorry we are to say, that every effort,
, every exertion used on this heartrend
. ing occasion, proved unavailing.—Af
r ter struggling with hla fate for ncar
i ly half an hour, all hope of assistance
, being at an end, and his strength com
plettdj’ exhausted, he, with a firmness
s of mind which no words can convey
. an adequate idea, observed to his com
r rade, that his lot was cast for eter-
I nity, that the coracle would be en
, daggered by his quitting his hold; but
that he would give notice before it
happened. He then prayed fervently,
J hoping that God would be merciful to
5 him, and bidding his friend an affec
> tionate farcwel, sunk into the deep >
An inquest bad been held on the body;
■ verdict, drowned. —A coracle is a
* bbat used in Wales by fishermen,

so congenial to our feelings, Ahat J

heartily responded by every imparti
