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.

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.
