BERGAMO, March 13.
.Thisday an event, which Ifii 1 appears
to us as a dream, has taken place; the
firft families of this city have placed
tbemfelves under the protection of the
French. All the Venetian authorities
»re fofpended, and all the troops have
dilarmtd and dilbanded. A municipali
ty has been eleded, which has already
administered the oath to about Bcoo per
sons. The late governor left the city
fo-tlay about noon, but before he went
'he published the following proclamation;
** Live the Republic of Bergamo /
«« I engage myfelf to the people of
Bergamo, that 1 will do ury uuuoft t.
procure liberty for those persons who are
now confined at Venice for favouring
the French republic, and their relloia

Every place swarms with French cock
ades; it is expeded that a Similar revo
lution will take place at Verona, Brefcia,
-and Crema; yet, confide ring the mag
nitude of the event, thegreaieft tranqui
lity and order prevails.
LONDON, April 17.
It is now determined to have a large
camp in the neighbourhood of Plymouth,
for the protedion of the dock yard and
naval stores, those being objeds of the
greatelt importance to the enemy to de
stroy, aud consequently too much caution
cannot be used to Secure them against all
pcfiible attempts.

N E W - Y O R K, June 8.
Last evening, as a young man was
walking near the dock at the old flip,
two Irimmen, palling at the fame time,
wantonly pulhed him into the river, and
he was drowned before any afliftance
could be given him. The offenders
were instantly secured by the city watch,
who witnessed the brutal tranfadion.
Captain Charles White, late of the
btig Trio, which was condemned at the
Havannah, arrived yesterday trom the
above place in the brig Flora. He in
forms us, that one of the Cartbagena
H>et (a light (hip) had arrived ihere be-
fore he failed, with the news that all
the remaining (hi s were taken by an
Englilh two decker, and a frigate ; they
having on board two mi'lions ot dollars,
besides other valuable property.
A full and fatisfadory confirmation of
the above is also received by captain
White, of the Suffolk, who in the lati
tude of 28, between the Fiorida ihore j
and the Bahama banks, fell in with three
Spanilh frigates, and a four gun fchoor.er,
who had been sent out for the purpose
of picking up the featuring vcflels of
the above convoy ; as the Englifii not
being able to man the whole, had strip
ped several of the fnipa of their valuables,
»nd then let them go—this was com
jnunicated to captain White by the Spa
ni(h commodore. Should this fail of
convincing any one, it is ft ill further
corroborated by captain Church, of his
majefty’a frigate Topaz, who, on the
ad instant, boarded captain White and
gave him fiailar information to the a
fcove. The number of Spanilh veffcls
taken *« foppofed to be about twenty

Captain Pratt, «&om in
forms, that a Spar.ifli Fixate, with the
vice-king on board; and aboat nine mil
lions of dollars, failed from Carthagena
while he lay there, and arrived fafe at
the Havannahthe nrh of February, and
failed from thence for Cadiz the zo»h
of April.
He further informs, that while there
8 velfels, 1 ship, 6 brigs and a Hoop,
failed from Carthagena for the Havan
nah, under convoy of a schooner of 14
guns,—that about the 27th of April,
three were taken by an Englilh *0 gun
Ihip, three had arrived at the Havannah,
and two miffing. They were laden with
sugar, coffee, cocoa and iudigo—valued
at three millions.

Yesterday arrived here the (hip Ame
rica, captain Baxter, in 45 days from
Cadiz. Captain B. informs us that the
Spaniards were fitting out in that har
bour, a fl-et of 3$ fail of the line, besides
13 frigates and 7 fire ships, with the
greatelt expedition, insomuch that the
workmen in the naval yards and on board
the (hipping, were working double tides
that the newly appointed admiral
Don Maflerado, was a great favorite
with the crews, to whom he had been
peculiarly kind, in recommending an
entire new dock of provisions, dec. and
an advance of 30 dollars per month,
which the government complied with;
that this fleet was to be joined by 7
F.—.U —a 7 {kif* th« Un e
from Carthagena, and that when this
junftion was made, th« y W.f. - ■
mined to attack admiral Jervis, and
drive him from the Mediterranean, or
peiifh in the attempt. It is said that
the king of Spain is so highly incensed
against a number cf the officers of the
late fleet defeated by admiral Jervis, that
he is determined to pun>(h them severe
ly. The Santiffima Trinidada, was
nearly ready for sea, and is to make one
of the above fleet. It was said the
whole would fail from Cadiz in twenty
days.
On the 26th April, captain Baxter pas
sed through the fleet of admiral Jervis,
who were then blockading the port of
Cadiz, confuting of 22 fail of the line
and £ frigates; he was ordered on board
admiral Parker's (hip, when after a drift
YrW'ftttf'rt’Putwmr am'mr rtiip tnrorrtved,
him that before the fleet left Lisbon, the
Portuguese had sent an ambassador to
Paris to treat for peace, and that he et
pended they would not permit the Bri
tilh fleet to enter their ports for the fu
ture. On the Faff a g e captain B. was
boarded hy a French privateer, and
treated politely.
PHILADELPHIA, June 7.
Such of our readers as are interested in
the fate of Ireland, will read, with me
lancholy attention, the following
Extrufi of a letter from, a gentiman in
D'rrVf dated isth Manht I7§7*
his friend in Philadelphia.
«»I know not where to begin in dating
the pitiable condition of this diftradid
and truly unfortunate country.— You
will be surprised at hearing, that a
French fleet, with 25,000 croo; lay 17
days on the fouth weft coast of this king
dom; that they made no arempt to laud,
and returned to Brest without meeting
any enemy but stormy weather l You
would wonder at feeing the biuiop of
Derry’s palace converted into a barracks
for soldiers, and the town hall made a
place of arms, furrourded by cannon,
tumbrils, &c. The walls are put in a
Hate of defence, and the gates (hut even'
night. The greater part of the province
of^Ulfter is declared in a Hate of disturb
ance, and no longer under the protec
tion of the civil la w, general L ke having
proclaimed “that he has icceived full
authority to use the military power, and
I ad as Ac may judge proper.”—The fol
diery are insolent and overbearing, the
people divided and diftraded; open vio
lences in the day, murder and burnings
in the night. The united IrijTimen, are
bold, ferocious, and numerous, and
have carried their depredations almost to
the gates of the city—[Here a number
of inftanccs of murders and burnings are
mentioned]—The association has spread
like a pcftilence, has overrun the coun-
I try in every diredion ; the magistracy in
general, is composed of persons weak,
I venal, and intemperate; so that amidst
this furious conflid of parties, and rage
I of palfions, the man who recommends
temperance and subordination to the one
party, or reform and conciliatien to the
I other, is regarJcd as an enemy to both,
j judge then of my fruition.”—
BALTIMORE, June 6.
The brig Fanny, of Baltimore, capt.
Richard Filher, from S'. Thomas's to
Cape Francois, was captured the ift May
by a Briiifti 74, gun (bin, and sent into
the mole, the cargoe which was flour,
hoisted out, every barrel bored and the
crew interrogated feparatelv; after
which captain Fisher had permiffian given
him either to fell at the Mole or to pro
ceed under convoy to any other Britilh
port; flour at the Mole would only
bring seven dollars per barrel, of eourle
captain Fisher proceeded to Jeremie,
where flour was lb plenty that it svould
not fell at any price. Captain Filher
mentions that one convoy cf nine and an
other of three American prizes had been
sent down to Jamaica, and that there
appeared *0 be a determination to cap
ture all American vessels bound to or
from French ports.
The schooner William of Baltimore,
captain Francis Smithwirk, on her pas
sage home from Jacquemel, was captured
01 the Bth May, by the Hind lert«*r of
Marque, and lent into Jeremie, the cap
tain detained as a ptifnner, and the
fehooner sent down with two others to
Jamaica, under convoy. Captain S aifn
wick whites that a convoy with nine A
merican prizes had failed a few days be
fore for Jamaica, and that report said
orders were given to fend thither all A
roerican veflejs noun a or f rnm
ports as good prizes.

“ The Briti(h are determined to rake

fiil in this place, exclusive of the convoys
going daily to Jamaica from the Mole.
“ By the last convoy from the Mole
to this place, I have seen John Adams’s
proclamation calling the Bates together.
they not lay an embargo, every

a facrifice either to one fide or other, as
