*HPIIE evidence* of union ate constantly increasing; and
A the French Rulers will be under the aecefiity of ac
knowledging we are an united people, inaugrc w their ex
jpertnefe in intrigue.” The exertions of the friends of divi
sion have effe&ed so little that it is quejlioned whetlier their
salaries will not he flopped. “ jiq Itrvice, no pay.” There
Is nothing which can promote the reign of peace, that can *
preserve our national rcfpe&abilitv, that can make the
French behave with justice towards us, but the unity of the
people; and as this is in a great'degree demonflrated we may
ioon expedl the happiest effeft*. In the mean time let the
good work of colle&ing evidence of the attachment of the
‘people to the confutation be jmfevered in.

Philadelphia, May *6.
Extract of* a letter from an American gentleman in
London, dated March 14, 1798.
u Denmark and Sweden have resolved to arm a part of

and, with Prussia, have ordered thejr Envoys at Paris to
retnonftrate against the late laws affeding the commerce of
Jicutral nations.”
May 17. Yefteitlay arrived here, the (hip Bel vide re
of New York, Capt. Reynolds, 46 days from London,
who failed with the fleet, but parted company on the fifth
day. She is armed with 12 fix pounders, and on entering
the port fired a federal falutc. On the 9th inst. in the
Gulf, the Relvidere fell in with a French privateer sloop
of 12 guns, which bore down upon her until almnfl within
hail, when (he received a (hot, upon which (he hauled her
Wind, the Belvidere continuing her fire, which was returned
by the sloop, and an English brig, her prize, for a few
minutes, (tlie fliip Belviaere pursuing the sloop) when the
latter bore off with tier con fort. Thus has a valuable fliip
and t very rich cargo been preserved by a few guns and a
little refoiution in her Commander!
MxtraO of a letter from New Tori, dated Tuesday .
“ We have just learnt the unplcafant intelligence of
the capture of the Chip Merchant, off the Hook, by a
French pirate; file left this but a few days ago for Bristol.
The fame pirate has also captured the fliip Holland, for
London, left this Sunday; also ship Thomas, bound to
your port from Liverpool or Bristol, and was in chafe of
two more.”

Norfolk, May 22* On Sunday arrived* the Genoefe
brig St. Michele, Capt. Ravara, 46 days from Cadiz, with
9 cargo of wine and brandy*
On the 4th of April, at two leagues distance from Cadiz,
pafled through the British fleet; was ordered oh board the
Thalia frigate, Lord Paulet, Commander, and after fome
little detention politely difmifled, and a certificate of tlie
examination of the papers granted on demand.
On the 7th of May, in lat. 34 30, long. 6t 50, spoke
the fliip Industry, from Boston, bound to Surinam, out 12
days, all well.
On tlie 12th inst. in lat. 35 39, long. 68 10, was chafed
by a French privateer brig, who had English colors hoisted;
£hey infilled on Capt.- Ravata’s hoisting out his boat and go
ing on board; supplied them with fome rcfrefhment at their
mpteft, and obtained perm'rffion to proceed, in consequence
of Capt. Ravara’s being acquainted with the Captain of the
privateer. They had in company an American ship which
they had captured, but would not inform her name, nor
that of the privateer.
A Danish veffd, called the Prince of Denmark, was to
fail for this port the day after tlie St. Michele.
The news brought by this veflel is, that the Prince of
Peace has been difplaoed from the office of Prime Minister,
and several other employments; and that a paflage had been
granted through Spain for the French troops destined againfl
Portugal.
A Connecticut schooner, with 39 mules, Was lately car

Peterjhurg, May 42. The fliips Warren, Fawn, In*
duftry, Rudd, and Rebecca, Gorran, are arrived in Janies
‘river from London. These vtflels are a part of the fleet
that failed with the British convoy bound to Halifax.
A gentleman who came palfeuger in the Warren, and
who has been in Ireland a confiderabie time, gives a moft
diftneffing and melancholy account of the situation of that
unhappy country. Tlie British Government hath upwards
of 80,000 English and Scotch troop in Ireland, many of
whom wantonly murder, plunder, bum, and defiroy, with
impunity; tlie moft atrocious a&s of cruelty are daily com
mitted, and fome persons have been deliberately (hot with-.
out the least formality of trial. The people dare not speak
tbeir sentiments, are drove to of deflation, and in
retaliation for their Slaughtered and afflicted brethren, and
Jw violence and innumanity committed ou them, are mur
dering the soldiery and Government men; and thus the
whole Lice of Ireland has become a feme of terror, coafti
fion, and blood shed. Our informant alio mentions, that
there is an association m Ireland, promoted by the friends
Os the Britifli Govern meat, for the purpose of railing and
liipporting a banditti under the denomination of A Bjtta
-9m °f Ttjimony, whose avowed duty is to appear as
pitnefle* io all cases between the Government and people;
and that two of them have since w ithdrawn themfclves
(Fata the battalion, and puhlkly declared that the whole

‘The following instance of creel tv and barbarity; •xmopg
many others that arejwblifHcd, and whjch are afmoft in
numerable, is taken from a Cork paper of the sth of March:
“ Near Gaftle Ward, a northern hamlet, a father and
son had their heads roafled on their own fire to extort a
confeffion of concealed arms. The cause was, that the
lock of a gun was found in an old box belonging to the
wife of the elder man. It is a fact that the above old couple
have two sons serving on board the British fleet, one under
Lord Bridport, the other under Lord St. Vincent.”
ExtraSl of a letter dated Dublin , March 12, 1798, to
a gentleman of this neighborhood .
“ Parties run very high in politics; there is a great spirit
of dilloyalty prevails in this country, and. principally a
morig the Roman Catholics and the lower orders of people,
who wifli for a scramble, expediting to be benefited thereby.
Private affaflination is now becoming very frequent, in
different parts of the country, on all adlive magistrates and
gentlemen who’ have exerted themselves to preserve peace
and tranquillity. The French and their emissaries are
spreading their cursed principles and dodtrines in this once
happy country, and it is now in a complete ferment, and
will-occasion Government to take strong measures to put
down the present spirit of infurrettion and plunder so uni
versal amongst a particular defeription in this country.
The French nation is a severe feourge and curse to all Eu
rope, and, not content with die plunder of Europe, they
have commenced their depredations on America. They
are a nation of Tea and land pirates, who plunder ail,
friends or foes. Such enormities will not, I think, be
permitted long with impunity—their cup is nearly full.”
Cbarlejlon, May 30. Yesterday arrived the ship Ma
ria, Kennedy, Algiers, 78 days.
On Friday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, a severe hail florin
fell on John’s lflandi it totally destroyed the crops of cotton
on fevcral plantations, affd the wind tore up fome trees by
the roots; a number of birds were killed by the hail. It lay
between three and four inches deep; even on Saturday morn
ing the ground was compleaify covered with it* The ftonn
was not general: it destroyed one plantation, miffed the
next, and then destroyed the next, in the fame line. Some
of the halftones were as big as eggs, and left their print on
the shingles of the houses very plain.
Columbia , May 25. On the 15th inst. there was a
severe froft in the neighborhood of this place, and which
leads us to fear that it lias considerably injured the wheat in
the upper country. This froft lias fallen 11 days later than
the noted May froft, so often referred to.
