From our correspondent in Dublin, we
have this day received information ilrong
ly tending to confirm the account already
given in the Star, ot the traitcrous machi
nations of the rebel renegade O’Conner
and his emiffirics in Ireland, to revive
the spirit and adioh of a difaffedion in
that country. On Tuefday morning iaft
Major Sir, on information received to
/ that effed, proceeded with a guard to a
certain place in the Dolphin’s Barn, where
he found eighty four forked pikes of an
improved and peculiar conftrudion.
The impress service has been carried on
with so much activity, not only in Lon.
don, but all the out ports, that upwards
offeven thoafand men have already been
procured.
A morning paper contains the follow
ing particulars, in a private letter from
Paris, dated March 19:
“ Two printers, and three bookfcllcrs,
have been lately Cent to the temple baf
tile, for printing and felling the late trial
of Peltier, with Mr. M‘lnto(h’s fpecch
at full length. Another edition, from
the consular press, is now ptefented for
sale, in which, of course, every thing
(hiking or offmfive is left ;—ln short,
it is now a trial a la'Francaife, fit for
free Frenchmen to read.
« Talleyrand it is dated was far from
approving of the violence offered to the
Englifti ambassador at a late levee; he,
therefore, with all humility, entreated his
master to make* it up. His maxim is,
that until f ranee nas a equal to «!;«»,
of Britain, the chief consul must fink his
prerenfions to he the modern Alexander,
and content himfeff with refped to Eng
land, to ad a la'PhUlippe. His advice,
however, was so ill received, that he
gave in his resignation, and for twenty
four hours,, rumour appointed him diffe
rent fucccffots, fiich as Segur, Otto, Cal
liard, &c. but while the public was thus
hufy, Buonaparte invited Talleyrand to
dine with him in private, and after some
explanation, returned him his minifier/al
porto.feuille , and he is, atpprese t, again
the firft favorite of the firft consul."
AUGUSTA, May 21.
Departed this life at Natchez, in the
Mississippi Territory, on the 7th March
Jaft, the Rev. ADAM BOYD, at or
near the advanced age of seventy years.
While Liberty and correct Patriotism
claim votaries, the name of this man
Ibould not be erased from our memory.
He was a native of Petmfylvania, of
Irllh parentage, received in that flare a
liberal education, and was initiated into
the Episcopal Church, of wLich he was
a Pallor. Such was his ardor for liberty,
and his zeal for the ca.ofe in which his
country had embarked, that he quitted,
{like others of his profeflion) his Parochi
aj duties, entered the army as a Chap
lain, and continued in that honorable sta
tion till the seal of independence crowned
the efforts of his biave companions in
■ arras.—About this period he removed to
Georgia, and for many years was a re
fpedablc resident of this city. As a
Clergyman, he was venerated ; he strong
ly inculcated the principles of true Rcli~
g\on and morality ; and perhaps, chrifti
anity had not a more ardent admirer.—
By some he was thought parsimonious,
but this was incurred ; his economy had
for its objed, liberality to the indigent
poor-r-He expended but little upon his
person, but much on charitable purposes.
He always kept in view this noble pas
sage from Scripture—“ Faith, hope and
charity , but of these three charity it the
frji,”
'in (he year 1799, a tour to the We.
Hern Country became neccffary ; in his •
journey thither, he braved dangers and
difficulties, which nothing but great for
fhrude :ou!d have fermounted, His left f
••/ • ,

.the 4th .of July last—the difeourfe was
replete with religion and g(»od sense j, ’»
he implored the afliftance of the Dotty
for the preservation of man in general,
end these United Slates in particular.
That he had a few foibles, we admit,
but, candid reader, who is there among
ns that have them not ?—“ Then let the
clod lie light upon his head.”
At a late interview with Buonaparte,
as deferibed in aprivate letter from Paris,
he conducted himfelf in a very infoient
and darUncerirg manner to the BritUh .
ambaftadof. He is said to have addrefT
cd lord'Whitworth : “ If you <wili have
war my Lor J, you /hall have fifteen
yean of it.” He soon alter quitted the
room, calling on God and man to wit
ness, that he hoped vengeance would be

From Ihe National Intelligence*.
Fedcralifin has become outiagcous at
the restoration of our Miflifiippi rights,
ao.d the deftruflion of all its fplcndid vi
deos of war and energetic government.
The violation of these rights fired the
vengeance of its partizans ; they declar
ed national honor infultcd, national in
terest prostrated and called for the aveng
ing arm of war. They declared them
felvcs friends of peace , at the moment
they demanded war measures to preserve
it. The adminidration and the nation,
valuing fco highly the bleflings of peace,
wan r only to hazard them, refolvcd, in
the firll instance, to try the effect of pa
cific remonft ranee. This, in the opinion
of their ad verferies, was cowardice and
crime. They laughed at the idea of
gaining any thing by negociation. They
declared that nothing was to he got but
by the bayonet. This idea they incul
cated far and wide. In the New-Eng
land (lares, where most of their prefles
are enlided in their service, they repre
fenred the adminidration of the federal
government as pufylanimous, and prepar
ed to surrender national independence ra
ther than to appeal to arms. They pro
fited of the criminal delusion. They
gained their eleflions in New-Hamp(hire,
Mafl’achafetts and Connecticut. Embol
dened by the success of their deception,
they rallied their forces in New-York,
dial JctvrmiruJ umtor a veteran leader so
make a detperate (land. Their prefles
teemed with deception ; and the election
being soon to take place they promiied
themselves with the fruits of a delusion
they knew could only be temporary. —
But if its effects (hould be permanent; if
they earned their men, they felt little re
gard for the means.
Unfortunately, however, for them,
the letter of the Marquis de Cafa Yrujo,
announcing the reiteration of our Mif
fiflippi rights, reached New. York on Sa
turday. It ought to have been received
as a death-blow to the hopes of federal
ifm. It ought to have (truck with dismay
its violent partizans and consigned them
to eternal silence. It poved the extrava
gancc of their fears ; the folly or guilt of
measures that would have led to imme
diate war ; the wisdom of the govern
ment in preferring peace; and the falfe
hood of every calumny that had been pro
pogated against them.
But notwithstanding this complete tri
umph of truth, mlfreprefentation, with
its thousand tongues, (till will utter falfe
hoods, more weak, if pofiible, than cri
minal.
The Evening Poll a(ks w'hether r ‘ this
is any thing more than a (beer, down
right impudent attempt to impose upon,
and to gull the people of the United
Stales, in the molt gross and fharaeful
manner ?”—Again— ‘‘ But admitting it
every word to be precncly true and cor
rect what is the amount of it ? The place of
deposit is restored for the present—-and
what then ? Is anv reparation for lodes
promised ? Is the conduct of the Spanish
Intcndanr disavowed, or himfelf cenfurcd
in the flighted manner ?”
“ The place of deposit is to be restor
ed for the prefent — WHAT
THEN?” . J " ’’
ANSWER. We have redored to us,
all we ever possessed ; all that our treaty
rights judify our claiming, and the nati- (
on is kept in peace. Is this nothing ?
Let the millions answer, whose property
and lives mud carry us thro' all those
wars in which the madness of infatuated
ambition may plunge the nation. Let
the honed farmer who now enjoys his fire
fide pleafurcs, and all the felicities of
domedio life, and the promise of encreaf
ing wealth, fay whether HE is indifferent
to peace.
Bunt Teems, according to he K the
• * «• _ ,•
place of deposit is to lie roftored for the 1
‘'frejeni” difingenious artifice! Thewords
of the Marquis Yrujoarc, “his Catho
lic Majesty has provided that the deposit
(hall continue at New-Orlcans until the
two governments »h«li come to an agree
ment about another equivalent place. 1 '
What more could his Catholic Maje
sty do or promise ? He might have named
■the equivalent place, and imperioully laid
take it or nothing. But with becoming
politeness he has made the fixing the e
quivalent place the joint aCt of the two
‘governments. And are federal ills ready
to swear that no proportions on this point
have been made ? We fay not that they
have. But they may have accompanied
the publifticd communications.
But it Teems the ceftion of Louiftanna
to France renders nugatory all interposi
tion of Spain. To this there is a plain
answer. Who took the right of deposit
from us ?—Spain. Who now rcttorcs it ?
Spain. Can her afts be called nugatory
which have thefc great effects; or will
the poftVffion of our rights be the less re
al because they flow from the fidelity of
Spain, in (lead of the justice or policy of
the mighty ruler of France ?
It would frem as if the federal!(ls ex
pelled from the Monarch of Spain a com
munication from Buonaparte. But had
he spoken for the firttconful would they
not have treated what he laid with con
tempt ? Such declarations would have
been ahfurd, and would have been deserv
ing of ridicule. Let the firll consul an
swer for himfelf. His actions will dc
y veiope his views. He may, though it
1 cannot be expended that he will, invade
outrights. When he does invade them,
it will be time enough to demand redress.
And the people ol the United States
need be under no alarm left that demand
fliould not be made. The conduCl of the
government towards Spain presents the
belt pledge of it. Our RIGHT'S are
SACRED. We will preserve them;
and whether the aggreflbr be mighty or
feeble our course will be the fame.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 29.
We underltand that in the course of
the ensuing year a line of Stages will he
established from Richmond to Frankfort
in Kentucky, by which the mail will be
carried.
We congratulate the public on the
measures which have been taken by the
general government to e(feft this great
objeCl, the importance of which will he
fully appreciated by every citizen cor.
reftly impressed with the growing conse
quence of the weftern country, which it
will then be practicable to reach in a peri,
od of ten days.
The political and commercial advan
tages of this arrangement will be equally
felt by those who reside on the Atlantic,
and the weftern waters. Integral parts
of one common empire the prevalent opi
nions and feelings of the one will be ea
sily and promptly communicated to the
other ; and a more frequent intcrcourfc
of the citizens of each will add a new tie
to that connection which we trnft time
will only render more indissoluble.
A letter from Copenhagen, dated the
12th February, mentions that there was
then in the hospital of that city, a wo
man who had slept eleven weeks without
