Buonaparte's Expedition,
Next compels attention. He has, assuredly, assaulted and captured Malta; where he has raised contributions. Concurrent accounts agree, that Ad. Nelson was in the wake of the Gallic hero; and that he had captured several ships of the line. We have the account from England, France, Spain and Portugal.—It would be strange if so much smoke should not issue from some Fire. What Buonaparte's GREAT object is, tortures conjecture, and makes half the world guessers— We still think he is sporting tubs to the British Leviathan, and that if Nelson does not cripple him, he will make his appearance in the Atlantic.
