(]i? •r»ti v, yrdofn cf pood men »h ' feeling* oflmmanitv i nod excites our forrow, yet their ar produELve of jreat h’fufbs to mankind. Degenerate as H'iiain is yet the mc.noiies of John H impden anJ \lgernon Sidney, ate fome- rccollefted, nor hive all their defeendmrs forgotten the virtuous o’apnfition to an ambi tious tyrant, for which the lives of thole patriots were facrificed. Rejoice, O’ Washington for the fucoTs which attended your glorious exertions to fare your country. And what would have been your fate had our enemies tiiumphcd over us and your life been at their dijpofal. Your virtuous efforts would have been rewarded with death, and cant ing hypocrites would have in rultcd the divine being wi.h their imnious thanks for luccecding in cnflaving an whole continent, and for having the gratification of murdering the heroes who advocated its right*. Let the enemies of general Tandy flate his guilt, and what will it amount to. That dining the revolution of this couutry he was the friend of the Ame ricans, that through bis influ ence the city of Dublin petition ed the king remonfirating againfi (bedding the blood of their fel low fuhjeOs in this country, and entreating him to liflen to, and to redrefs the complaints of the Ameticans. That he was always the alfertor of the civil and na tional rights of his countrymen, and that ffnally finding that a conupt pailiament, rejefted eve-1 ry meafurc which was ra'cuhtcd to promote the interefis of Ire land, and that hopes of amend ment could be no longer indulg ed, he followed the example of a I*ranklin, a Wafhington, &c. whole furccfs in liberating their country from its thraldom, ex cited the generous ardour of emulation in his patriotic bre^fi. If to the catalogue of its nu merous crimes, the Britifh go vernment is relolved to add the murder of the heroic Tandy his fate will not only excite the lympatheric pity of the good and virtuous, but it will alio add to the hatred with which every friend of liberty, views the guilty confpirators who are waging a war of extermination i againfl the fupporrers of free-1 dom. It will alfo nerve the arms of thofe who will yrt punifh the criminals for all the blood which they have filed. g— i - tm -————————l CONSTANTINOPLE, June 10.

Ry a gentleman recently from Ireland, we learn that the Orange fa6lion, who have hitherto been the mod violent fupporters of the Riitifh government, and the j bitter perfecutors of the United frifhmen, has made overtures for junction with the latter, for the exprefs purpofe of refeuing the kingdom from tyranny An averfion to the propofed union is the caufe of their oppofition* The Cable is more than ever alarmed, and has prohibited the 1 Orange meetings. It may now be faid» that the only fupport which Britain had in Ireland,! among the people, is loft—gone 1 over to the fide of liberty and Ju 11 ice. The Orange men once enlightened, will difplay more enthufialm and energy in lup port of their rights, than if they had never been led blindfolded by the intrigues of a government, which only wifties to make them the inllrumcnts for crufhing their brcthien whilft themfelve* were to be the next obje&s of its perfidy and tyranny.
