IRELAND.
The ship Union, captain Smith, left Dublin
bn the 10th September—by this arrival we
hive beeti favored with a Dublin paper of the
2 i September ; it contains, however, Lilt few
articles of any interest.
At the period of captain Smith’s sailing, e\x>-
ry thing was tranquil in Ireland—btuitappew*
ed to be a sullen submission to superior pow
er—considerable dissatisfaction was expressed
at the operation of the “ Irish Insurrection
Bill” lately passed. This bill vests m the mi
litary, powers so far supetior to the ehil autho
rity, that it was considered as tantamount to
declaring Ireland under martial law.— Charles
ton Timex, October 12. *
DcntiN, July 27.
Six or seven countrymen from Rathcoole,
(on the muster road) were arrested on Satur
day. These people were coming upto, or re
turning from St Junes’s Fair, a sort of religi
ons festival that is held annually in St. James's
street and the western suburb. Toys, ginger
bread, See. are the principal commodities, and
the chief amusement consists in the decorating
with wreaths of flowes the graves of such
fiends or ancestors, to the fourth and fifth gen
eiation, as are buried in St. James’s church
yard.
Since- the above was written, I have heard
that the reason why government adopted the
precautions I have mentioned was, to insure the
tranquility of the town in case of riot ; this is
the s'ot y at the castie.
, Extract of another letter.
“ On Saturd y night the garrison of Dublin
was under arms, huge patroles sent out, and
every precaution taken that the apprehension
ot the public disturbance, upon a large scale,
might be supposed to suggest. The garrison
had been lately weakened by the embarkation
of two regiments of the line for England, (the
7ih and Bih) and, with the exception of the sth
garrison battalion, was composed of militia re
giments, at the time of the expected riot. How
ever, the whole force, inadequate as it was to
continue ific heavy details of duty that the gar
rison requites, were ready for any exertions
circumstances might render necessary. ‘I he
sejeant posted at Harold’s Cross (a principal
entrance to the city, and the road from the
counties of Wicklow and Wexford) reported,
that during the day he had remarked a consi
derable number, to the amount of upwards of
1000 of country-looking persons, who had pas
sed the post on their way to the city ; and se
veral other persons, whose vigilant eye detect
ed those appearances, which if they had been
credited, might have prevented the misfortunes
of the 23d July, 1803, communicated their sus
picions to government, that some misch.ef was
impending. The discretion of not mentioning
names is too obvious to he apologized for. How
ever, the night passed over without anv cir
cu.nstdpces occurring in the smallest degree
to countenance the reports that were made.
Government, without altering the mild tenor of
its conduct, is prepared to use a strong hand.”
Constantinople, August 12.
Tranquility is not yet re-established in this
capital, and scenes of disorder frequently take
place in it. Yesterday, 2000 Janissaries went
to ttie treasury, and forced the commissioners
to giie them 6000 dollars. From thence they
repaired to the .vlosque Soliman, where they
declared their chief.
Intelligence has been received here, which
fuilv confirms the former reports of the Eng
lish having been entirelv destroyed in Egypt.
Petersburg, July 26.
Since the return of his majest y the emperor,
an extraordinary activity is observable in the
officers ot the navy department. G ders have
been given for fitting out the squadrons of
Cronstadt and Revel with all possible dispatch.
No body entertains the least doubt of thes cir
maments being directed against England,
should she take the fatal step of lejecting the
mediation offered her by our court. All the
English inetchants settled here, have the same
opinion of the present dispositions of Russia;
for they ate endeavoring H> get rid, at any price,
oi their merchandize and commercial paper.
Hamburgh, August 17.
A genera! consternation reigns to-day in the
exchange, no kind of business is transacted,
one single sentiment animates every bod)’ —
in if nation against England. We are truly ex
asperated.
ii is expressly forbidden to let the smallest
vessel pass up the Elbe; if these severe mea
sures do not relax ; if the Dini.sii polls remain
shn’ to the English commerce ; if these ports
and Allona cease to lie the entrepot for the En
gisli merchandize; if the English correspon
dence is forced to pass by way of .Sweden, there
is not a doubt but thi rupture with Denmuik,
will soon make itself felt in England ill a man
ner most fatal or her.
Cot dixg, (Holstein) August 17.
When Mt. Jackson said to the Prince Roy
al that he gave him twelve bouts to decide on
the absurd demand which he had made ; his
royal highness answered, that riicre was no oc
casion to give a minute, because he was deem
ed to refuse eycry thing.
I'rom what we can learn, Sir Home Popham
is for attacking Copenhagen,but admiral Gam
bier is of a different opinion—he has expedited
some days ago a ctiue*V to England, for new in

S ATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, ISO 7.
A few days previous to sailing, capt. Smith,
(arrived at Charleston, on Monday last, from
l)ublin)reud in the paper*, an account oi the ar
rival of the United States schooner Revenge,
at l-'alrnouth. It was further slated, that Mr.
Monroe bad delivered the ultimatum of our
government to the British ministry, and al
lowed them but three days for its considera
tion. An embargo on American vessels was
momently expected.
FOIL THE CONSIDERATION OF MERCHANTS.
If the American government were to relax
in the least from their original demands on
the British government, they would receive and
deserve the execration of every citizen of the
United States ; for the commerce of the Unit
ed States would he for ever subjected to every
insult as before—if a British captain can obtain
tho right of search if he is by any collusion per
mitted to set his foot on board an American
vessel—then he will, as before, be guilty of ex
cess, vexati n unit del’and piracy— the princi
/ties of the armed neu rality must be th< princi
filcs of America, and we would adtise our mer
chants to make up their minds fully to the con
test —we have foretold the present situation of
the continent, and all our predictions are veri
fied, which they might have equally seen, if po
litical fogs had not blinded them—we have long
foretold them the present relations with Britain
would follow—we have done our duty—we now
tell them that Britain v. ill not submit without a
struggle. Exactly in proportion as Russia and
France, insist on the t ight of search being aban
doned ; so exactly, hr proportion, will Britain
resist the justice claimed by America. One re
mark is as good as a thousand—the die is cast,
and let the merchants consider it —There trill
be actual war, or at least a suspension of all
trade. —Aurora.
We have been so much occupied hy Burr’s
trial, that we have had no time for general dis
cussion ; but, at this crisis, we cannot forbear
to offer one hint !
Farmers and merchants, be on the alert !
The presumption is, that we shall have a tear, or
at least a suspension of commercial intercourse
with Great Britain.
Britain may perhaps contrive to grant us sa
tisfaction for the attack on the Chesapeake, but
“ there’s not the rub.” We have some great
principles to settle with her. We must secure
our seamen from impressment; wc'must secure
our bottoms, public and private, from search.
Will she do this ? Cobbett and the English
ministerial prints say, no. If she does it, they
say, her navy is gone, and her boasted trident
is broken.
It is ridiculous for us to wave the attainment
of these demands. If we do notv, ii is impossi
ble but that the increasing insolence of Eng
land, and our still stronger spirit of opposition
must, in a few years, involve us W a war. It is
better then to have it at once. It is more poli
tic for us to meet it now, than when the sun has
rolled a few more seasons over our heads ;
when our national character shall be tarnished ;
our generous spirit, now eager for the combat,
is chilled ; and when Great Britain is let loose
from her present enemies and her lowering
tempests. We cannot doubt but that such
will he the determination of congress.—Rich
mond Enquirer.
In a letter received yesterday from France,
there is mention of an important arrangement
for Europe, which has been as yet but obscurely
hinted at in the papers. However, according
to his usual custom, Bonaparte disset nates it
through the public to prepate it for tho unfold
ing of Ins mighty drama.
Europe arranged into two empires, an east
ern, with Alexander at its head, and a western
with Napoleon ; each to have under its protec
tion eight kingdoms, to wit: under the eastern
empire, the re-established kingdom of Poland
with Murat; the grand duke Constantine a king
at Constantinople ; Denmark its present king ;
Saxony its present king; Prussia its present
king; Berg and Casscl, Bernadette (this last
must be an error from its place); Moldavia a king
to he named, kc.
Under the western empire.the dismembered
empire of Austria; Hungary under prince
Charles ; Hanover under king Jerome ; Wir
temberg its present king; Holland prince Eu
gene Beauharnais, in place of king Louis, abdi
cated ; lfaden its present king ; Bavaria its pre
sent king; Italy king Joseph; Naples its form
er king.

* ramsay’s life ok Washington.
Mr. George F. Hopkins, bookseller, Pearl

The Life o) General Hashing ton, by Dr. Ram
say, the able and well known author of the His
tory of the Revolution, tiuch a life of Wash
ington as Dr. Ramsay’s was much wanted,
and will be read by every friend ol the revolu
tion with great satisfaction. Ramsay seems
to have written the biography to extricate his
hero from the trammels of the c Lie I justice, and
he has succeeded to admiration. He has connect
ed the illustrious general with the events of the
revolution no further than was necessary to a
correct delineation of his character.— Am. Cit.
Concord, (Mass ) Sept. 22.
Drafting Militia—On Thursday next,
the several companies of militia in this town
are to meet, for the purpose of drafting their
quota of 100,000 men required by the general
government. Some of the neighboring towns
have held meetings of the inhabitants, and vo- j
ted two dollars bounty to be paid on being draf
ted, and to make the wages equal to ten dol
lars per month in case the men shall be called
into actual service.
The people of Kentucky and tnc western
stales generally, with those of the Mississippi
territory, are most patriotically engaged in or
ganizing their militias. Drafts have been uni
formly despised, and nine or ten men have
volunteered for one demanded. Such conduct j
is strong evidence that the inhabitants of the)
western country are not disaffected to the go- 1
verninent ; .aid that they wish no dissolution of J
the Union ! jj
