PARIS, March 14.
Cardinal Altfri, who lately died
it Rome, had abdicated his ca*di
rJ[hip at the time the French took
poffejfton of that place ; prior to his
nit out of the world, he. ftgned an
cfl of revocation, which was deliver

■mvy other things is, “ I pro prate

unworthy member. I beg pardon,
before the whole church, which I
have vmch offended with my cow

hat which has been dyed in the blood

A letter from Dublin, da’ed 21/?
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.
Theft are among the numerous in
fernal fruits of monarchy I The
ftrengih and induftry of Ireland are
exhaufted to fupply a feet , the exift
ence cf which is among the worjl
evils by which the nations of the
world arc affhßed and diftreffed-
Calamities and fuffenngs of affirm
lar kind are, at this moment, the
Jencus fate of Scotland and Eng
land ; but there is a point beyond
which man will not, he canrwt go in
his fufferings. 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 ? The awful
example is before us; and unlefs we
profit by it. we jhall de/erve that
tremendous fate, which will one day
overtake us in the career of cur poli

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.
