March , gives a melancholy defenp tiov of the poor in Ireland. Oat meal was then as high as 305. a hundred, and potatoes have teen as high as 1 3-L Cd. per hundred. The f landing army turn out of the barracks every morning , and fop at l previffons coming into town, and difpofc of them on /itch ter ms as theychofe. Such art the bkjftd tf ftßsof 0 fandng army Jr cm which we have but juft narrowly ([coped. 7 he Orange party in Ireland are on their knees imploring forgiventjs of the. United hrfhmen ; declaring they have been duped and deceived, and that they are now ready to join in ftp araiing the government from the dominion of Fngland ; but the ftripes laid on in 1798 are not yet healed ; nor can it be expcßed that the hangings and burnings oj that year can be forgot fo foon. Mr. Grattan, once more the men of the people , the corporation of Dublin dijfrancuifed him in Avguft 1798, and new they are addreff ng him as the faviour of his country , Many of them who would have at tended his execution in 1798 are the moft foremoji now in promoting this addrej r s . The recent accounts which have been received from Ireland , a fpeci men of which we publiffhed in our paper of yefterday, evince, beyond all contradiction, the wretched and de~ ftitute condition of the unfortunate inhabitants. Defhtnte even of that fmall portion of Juftenanct neceffary to the prefervation of human life , they perifh daily with real famine.

Jo this point, thefe countries have nearly arrived ; they are prcbahly cn the verge of dread ful comul fieri s , which mi ft fhake to the centre, the prrfent fonal cov/li tutions—the fabric mufl fall, and although many will be crvfhed and buried under its ruins yet we have no reafon to contemplate a fate af things worfe or more unfortunate, Worjfe they cannot be; rnda Irffon cf wifdom will be derived from pa ft experience and national mis/orlures, which will , no doubt, become, the. ground of important amelioration. Ihefe dreadful effeßs of monarchy ought to be offidouftv guarded again ft by the free and independent citizens of America Can we look vi(h patience a /ingle moment at (he rr/uli of the Bniifh government; and ran we . without horror think of imi tating that ft)hm if wretchedneft, of political miffry ?

PHILADEI PHIA, June 4.- We flop the prefs to an nounce the following ; Captain M‘Dougall, in the Ihip A&ive, arrived at the Fort thismomingin twenty.nine days from London—brings papers to the fir ft of May-one of which contains an account of the de feat of the Auflrians in ten fuc cdlivc battles with M«fkna. Guz. U% S. ' June 5. The A 6iive, capt M'Dougaft, belonging to this port, arrived in the Delaware jefterday, in 29 days from London, la ft from Portfmouth, which he left the sth of May. By this veffel accounts have been received from London up to the 2d of May. They ftate that the French army of Italy, f-ora its ftrong pofitrons in the Ligurian territory, had com menced a courfe of ofFenfive operations againft the Auftrians under the celebrated Melas; that after ten fucceftive actions, with various fuccefs, the French under Maflena,in a decifive bat tle on the 14th April, obtained a fignal and decifive victory over the Auftrians, taking the whole of the Auftrian artillery, baggage ammunition and ftores, toge ther with ten thoufand pnfon ers. It is reported with confidence, that the Britifti fecrelary of (fate, lord Grenville, has ufed fuch a tone of haughtinefs towards Mr. King, the American ambalfador at the Britifti court, that the lat ter has been induced to fend difpatches exprefs to our execu tive. Thefe reports arife from private advices laid to be from London by the Little Tom, which arrived in our river on Thurfday evening, and corrobo rated by ;hc accounts received by the Aflivc. Thefe we give merely as re ports, but which carry with them a very plaufible appearance: Among other things rumoured on this \u\jd, it is (aid, thac Mr. Gore brought thefe dif patrbes, and that our adminil tration has been confidcrably embarralied by the fubßancc oF them. The pacific and conciliatory cordufl of the French govern ment tcwaids the United Stales* has given a very ftnfible alarm to the Britilh cabinet, and the reception which our envoys met with, under all circ iimßances, was confidcred as having a ten dency to neutralize Sweden and Denmark, which Grcat-Britain had likcwife (ought to embark in the crulade.
