Our advices from the fleet in the Mediterranean, under Lord Keith, and from the forces, under General Abercrombie, inform us that nothing has been yet done decisively in that quarter of the world. It is reported that they are safely landed in the vicinity of Egypt, but how, or at what period the operations will be conducted, remains in a state of obscurity. Time, however, will soon develope this matter, and we shall then perceive the purposes for which the expedition is intended.

t

To every lover of his country it must be a source of pleasure to recollect that March 1801 has seen the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act expire! The subject cannot be any longer imprisoned without being brought to a speedy trial-how inestima ble are the blessings of civil and religious liberty!

We cannot close without remarking the general distress occasioned among the lower classes of the community by the high price of provision, and most sincerely wish that some measure could be adopted to alleviate so serious a calamity. Our sympathy should be extended to all in distress, and every effort should be made to relieve the wants and necessities of our fellow-creatures. We must, however, endure with patience, what cannot, at least for the present, be removed. It is our fervent prayer, that the inhabitants of Britain may be restored once more to the participation of peace and plenty !

To Correspondents.

The very flattering reception which the Monthly Visitor has experi nced, particularly since the change in the plan of the work, is highly gratifying to the Proprietors. The unprecedented sale of the two last Numbers has rendered a second edition necessary, which is now ready for delivery.

We invite the communications of W. Case, jun. which will ever find an uniform attention paid to them. In our next Number we shall complete his poetic article of the Minstrel Youth.

We have received the Enigmas, &c. from our Weedon Corresponcent, which were too late for insertion this month.

Irione, C, Strong, with many others, are also received, and under consideration.

The Editors of the Monthly Visitor would recommend many of their Poetic Friends to direct their talents to prose writing, which, it is their opinion, (from some of the productions lately received,) might be done with ultimate success.
