Sjpt. 14. We learn from Antigua of the 3d last, that a
yefiei which arrived there the uay before from Dublin
brought advice, that a treaty of union was on foot between
England and Ireland; that it was under the confi Jcratua
of the Iriih parliament, and generally approved; and th.it
it was expended the union would be coin plea ted upon the ar
rival of the Lord Lieutenant.
A gentleman in Guadalupe to his friend in St. Chriilo
E-s writes,— I don’t doubt but you wiil be very much
riled that the conftru&ion put on the Bth article of the
ritive treaty by.ilw court of France is, that no produce
lhall be fisnt from this colony to Great Britain, and that
what is meant by the liberty ot tranlporting our effects is no
more-tjiaa our persons. Haves, furniture, and any goods
that might remain unfo and at the expiration of the 18 months
allowed. This is certainly the intention of the court of
F ranee, and if not changed will be of great loss and detri
ment to the Britiih fubjecis who have had commercial con
ne-iions in this island. This affair has been represented to
our late Governor, Mr. Dairy tuple, who will e.n brace the
firft opportunity of laying h before the minister.”

S,AVA N N A H, September 22.
BY letters received this week from Augusta, we have a
confirmation of ;wo of our traders being killed, their
bories and goods taken, and the store at the Filhpon J pluu*
dered, by the Mortar and fome of his party. Both the Up
per and Lower Town Crc-ks are greatly exasperated at his
fome of the former have promised to carry
the Chicketaw hortps through the nation. Every thing we
arc allured b at present quiet amongst them; the Lower
Creeks have promised to be at the congress to be held at
Augusta next month, and many of the Upper Creeks arc
alto expected. The people who went over to the Carolim
fide were only a few stragglers, who, having no fixed place
of residence, are ready on every occasion of this kind to
alarm and disturb the country.
