. BOSTON, May fc. *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. The Gloucdlcr address has been signed by 66$ refped able men. The Salem address has 926 signatures. The lloxbury address has already received upwards of too signatures, including, it is said, the names of many who voted in favor of the late renionftrance to Congrds, but wlro are converted to the rood perfect confidence in the Go* vernment. 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 their naval forces for the proteftion of their commerce; 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.” Congress of the United States* In Senate, May 15th, 1798* Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate be dire died to write to all such Senators as are absent without leave, or whose leave of absence has expired, requesting their im* mediate attendance. “ What I am now, M So you may be,” Is the language which Americans may read upon the tOmb itone of the departed independence of the Swiss Republic. [Salem fnrz.) 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 ried into St. Martin's, and condemned. The liberal, mag nanimous French, advertiftd the mules as 39 Congrefe men, to ridicule ©or Government.. v 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 Uar thtpflf|psdrW” giving faUe ttflimony. ‘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. SHERIFF’. SALES.
