‘•l-sd that it wculd be mad-
' ntfs in Us to embark our happy fortunes
in a eonteft con eitcd in any fhape
with Brita n. 1 h-y are c onvinced
by the conduft of Briiiih (hips of war
towards our merchantmen, that there is
no rrgard to jufiice to be expefted from
ti a n fon, where our commercial cn
t'-rprlze or nat onal profperity tend to
render us any oiler than dependants
upon her—when wc fha'l be any other
tha-: r wareheufe for the confnmpticn of
her and a dupe lo her
p liiica mach nation?.
It is parvicu a ly fatiafa&ory to find
a difpofitioQ in o r adminitfralion, to
circumfcnbe their operations in the po
litical wor’d within our own fphere ;
and to fee them convinced that the pre
f nt ftatcof ib.ngs nquires fuch a con
duH on our p rt.
It is now clear, and they perrc've it, j
that the eipeftationa entertaine I of xno- i
thfr coalition in Europe ai>aiiift France
are Bluf >ty, as they were always uneer-
U n in thrir otjeCl, And it is no Ms
perceptive that es Fiance muft now
d<£U*e to all Europe, that the deilHniea
of all fia and Africa are likewifc in
their htnee.
It it, now beb’rtfd, not alone by enr
public mtn at home, hut by our public
men abroad, that the period is not remote
when (he Bi t:fh government muft fail
into that ru n f ir which its Carthag(’n : an
ofolcncc and turpitu. c had prepared it.
It is believ d by ouf pnc-lic men abroad
.tnd at home, toat the Eugl fia and Irlfti
iflands are irre*r cvabiy rent afunder;
un i that the breach rrn-Je by the projedt
of au union, is never to be repaired.
Such are the opinions which we know
are held by our public nv*o, who aif
pofltffed of (he molt rapid and general
means of information.
On our own parts we venture further
to fuggeft, and it is not a furtuife taken
up for fingulariiy and novelty—that
there is yet another livolution to take
place in Europe which, though it might
have been eafilv fore Len, has not yet
been promulged. We believe, from the
prcLnt afpeA of European affairs, that
a corabiaaaon hzs taken place, for the
cxpulficn f the Turks from Europe ;
and we fhould nor Lrrprized to find
the Emperor of Germany leagued w;th
Lie Freuch Rcpubi c for its accorapiifii
m i t If civ hzaiion* among mm ia
dvfi able, the accomp ilhir.ent of fuch
an enitrp ize would accelerate it. The
empire of Rtftir has .ocrcaf d fo rapidly,
that her pow.r muft be a perpetual
, fou ce of jealoufy to the emperor. Toe
acqa.fiuous made by RuT-a in /’oiand,
a ready Harm Pruffic; and from thcL
caufe<;, we apprehend that the North
ot Eut pe w.ll, ere long, become th
fceoe of w:ir, while France cor.foiidatcs
I the freedom of the South, and refto-ee
i toe liberty of the ocean.
( Whc her our public men calculate
■ upon luch events, we prefume not to
fuppofe—it is certain, that when an
amb-iflador was appointed to go to Cot.-
ftan inoplc, no luch events had becii
forefeen—neither had the expu fioo cl

J them, allhoujh it was repeatedly dc*

[treaty in admitting the Zoglilh fLels
into the haibours of Sicily, too clearly
indicated a policy which woa’d lead that
monarch into the all dcftroyiug lures of
Britifh intrigue and coafequent deftiuc

CONFIRMATION.
1 he Ship Ocean.
Veftcrday arrived the fchoo
ners Ann and Felicity, from La
Vera Cruz, Ic gives us great
pleafure to contradi£l the ac
counts refpefting the (hip Ocean,
capt. Kemp, as fhe was left at
Vera Cruz, the Bth April, where
fhe had arrived in fafery, having
Teen no French privateer on her
paflage.
Ihe Ilavannah has hitherto
been generally healthy, but
owing to the vaft influx of (Iran
gers and the army which if col-
Icftcd there to the number of
30,000 men, it will hereafter
for a 1 »ng time probably be a hot
bed for the fever, and worfl of
a i the iflands. This reflection
win, no doubt fugged proper
mealu es to the health
tec for the fdet/ of this city^
CHARLESTON, May g*
The biig Abigail, capt. Lhom-
Ton, which arrived yeflerday,
left the Ilavannah 12 days ago,
bound to Campcachy. The
evening afer leaving that port
lell in with three Englifli priva
teers, from New-ProvidCncci
one of which took poflelfion of
j her, put a prize mailer and (even
: hands cm board, and ordered
her for New-Providence, leav
ing only the captain, fupcrcargo
and boy on board the brig,
hour days after captain Thorn-
Ton, with the afliflance of the
lupercargo, fetured the priva
teerfmen, an 1 retook the vcflel.
The Abigail belongs to Phila
delphia.
The brig Little Benjamin,
which arrived on Tucfday from
1 eneiilFc, was purchafed in that
iHand Ly c pt. Cooke, late of
(he (hip Caroline, from X.ondon,
bound to this port, which was
captured by a French privateer
belonging to Bourdeaux, and
canied into that ifland, where
fhip and cargo were condemned.
The Little Benjamin was an
Englifli vcflVl, captured by the
lame privateer. Several of the
pair ngeis which were on board
of the Caroline, at the time of
her capture, arrived cn Tuefday
with c.pt. Cooke.
The privateer which captured
;thc Caroline, carried 20 guns
[and 170 men. Capt. Cooke
had 12 guns and 17 men ; with
this unequal force, fought the
privateer one hour: h ; s mate
was the only man wounded ; he
j received a market ball in the
i upper part of one check, which
came out at the other; but he
recovered, and arrived with capt.
Cooke. One man was wounded
on bcatd the French vcficl.
