For this vefleland belonging to* the Tame proprietor; and I reser ve the quefr.on, to whom they are to be condemned. From the DemoCrcti: Press, STATE OF IRELAND. Whenever I take up my pen to write of the Iri(h concerns, I take it up with an aching heart, because I am always about to write of its tniiery and tp record the detestable tyranny) of its talk matters. We know but little of its preterit situation, the press is there as Client as death, as to the enormities of the .government, or the wretchedness of the people. What we do kiiow is rather gathered from feattered hints, j and official and judicial ads, than from any re gular leries of fads with which we are furnithed, A few months since we learned that. several counties in Ireland were in a (late little short of infurredson from the ftiftrnftions and plunder ings of a society of men called Threshers. They were executed in great numbers, but the evil was rot removed. By late arrivals, we hear that Trees of Liberty have been planted in various places, that serious disturbances have taken place, and that a militia regiment, and a regi ment of cavalry had quarreled and fought, and fome lives were loft. Tbefe feattered fait#give us fome notion of the melancholy situation of the Unfortunate children of Erin. In the Britiih house of coir.no>>-, July 21th. •the Irish Insurrection BUI was before the batik-. We know nothing of the proviSms of t!.'? b.i: but presume it is fometh'hig •limih.r, if m.t copy of that law under which whole diftriS were depopulated, the cruelest tortures inflicted, and the nw.it inhuman murders committed in Ireland a few years fxr.ee. In speaking on this bill, Henry Grattan, ftl'.c once beloved defer.-kr of the rights of Ireland ; • that Henry Grattan to whom, in oppofitioa to the government, the parliament of Ireland voted £.36, 0(M) ilerlitig “ as a frnall acknowledge, jr.ent of the zeal, ability aud iuccefs, with which lie had defended their independence,’ J fail ‘ he knew that great odium, attached in Ireland to the ir.eai'ure under the consideration of the coir lr.ittee. A variety of letters from that country, many of v. fiicli he had received himfelf, fully fatisiied him of this point.” Yet with his Jc j viedge of the tyranny cxercifcd in Ireland rintier a similar law—himfelf, lately returned {’noni the city of Dublin; as their member in op petition to the government interest, declared that <i he would support this hill,’ though he was fully fa tis fie and that it was odious to the peo ple of Ireland. Asa reason of this base defection cf his con feituents, this league with the oppreffprs of his country, and the murderers of his countrymen, he gives as an excuse, that his rignt honorable, fiend had informed him, “ that there were fe crat greetings of a dark and dangerous defsrip tion in Ireland, ’ and he was afraid there was a French iutereft in that country. Alar. ! poor devoted Ireland, the bloodhounds of the accursed governmennient cf Britain are again to be turned loose, and unmuzzled among you-—your merciless governors have ctyed • Havoc, and let flip the dogs of war”—and ** a vigor beyond the law” of humanity, is to be exerctfed to bend your stubborn necks to the heavy yoke of your talk.mafiers. May the God of Mercy and of Jnftice fcon deliver you ! Americans ! when the friends cf the British government talk to you of ill mercy-, its n,agna.. jumity, and its milduefs, turn to the volumes of Inih hillory, and you will find every page fiain* ed by cruelty, profeription and blood. If such an exhibition does not filerice their eulogies, be aifuivd that they are also corrupt and unfeeling. If you hear art IrUfcmman who has left Ireland w thin the last. fifteen years, who is an apoldgitl for the British government, be you altered he hits given inconteftiLle evidence that he is a scoundrel—For myftlf, I loath and detest him * Boston, September 14. Latest from Continental Europe —The brig Sally and Mary, capt. Cobb, arrived on Friday, from Copenhagen, in 44 days. He verbally Hates, that a report had reached that place, the day before he failed, of a severe and hard fought battle having taken place in the vicinity of Stral fund, between the French and Swedes, the latter having been reinforced by a large body of Eng lilh ti pop >; l :. the French 101 l a great many nien m the engagement, but were finally fuccefs ful ; and bad afterwards taken Stralfund, whe ther by storming or capitulation, he could not learn. Off the Naze, capt. C. saw 47 fail of Dritifh veiTtls, 27 of them {hips of the line. NEW-YORK, September 9. ‘■Commodtre Rogers. —This gentleman lias ex hibited a becoming spirit on the visit cf the British fliips, in relation to which we have all fccr.i more or lei's in error. Partaking largely of the general feelings occaficned by the pcculiai qirc urn fiances of the Chesapeake, he w; . eagei to gratify the national wifli by a prompt, i’piril ed and gallant exertion of the force under hi. command.

NEW-YOTK, September 17. Capt. Whitby, r.f thefliip Faftor,'from Elfi neur, informs us tlrat the Emperor .Alexander had arrived at St. Petersburg, and that great rejoicings took place in consequence of this event, and of the conclpfion of peace; the city was illuminated, and the vessels in the harbor display ed their colors.

From the late accounts, it appears that the Chippewa, Tawwa, and Potowatoma tribes of; Indians are for war! These nations, it is to be j presumed, principally reside orth if the lakes,! within the Britifli territories ; a* and there is no j doubt, from what we have learned, but that the , loriti ‘h have their agents among them. It appears that the Delawares, Mingos, and Wiandots, are for peace. These tribes rcilile witliio tiie territory of the United States, and •k iow their int-crit tco well to cr.mraence ho fill dies. We have heard a variety of reports con cerning the recent movements of the Indians, but generally they are too vag re to be credited. RUSSELVILLE, August 23. From a Correspondent, A caution to the WVlern People. A ger.tldman lately being in company ‘-vith a party of Shawnefe and Delaware trd. , of i:.- •liar.s, on the Saline creek, near the Sal:• it* Salt works, and as the Indians had been at the Salt works dunking ‘- ‘d quarreling with the white people, there v as one who aflumed the title of captain-Jonny, and another captain Sam .Lewis, who r.ppcarii g very much irritated at tlie uihge they received’ a: the liek, caused them to speak freely and fa:d as soon as the leaves fell, the In-1 dians intended to move their wives and children I over the brig river Mitfiifippi, and the warriors were to join captain Frenchman (who was the name of Golang, as this gentleman underflood .hat there were Even tr.be* had marked a long paper, which captain Frenchman had to go to war with the Kentuckians, to w’t: the Shaw nefe, Delawares, Mingoes, Peaukufiiawe, Mufeo gns, Kickapoos, and the White River Tribe; that a great captain was coming to join captain i Frenchman, who would give the Indians every. thing to fight with, and make thei(i rich ; that i the big man and congress had taken away their ’ land, and after little while would kill them; and that this big captain and captain Frenchman would kill all the white people and give the In dians all their country ; and that capt. French man was going to make big houses to fight in, and to put the women and children in, and would get all the warriors over the big river to mark his good paper, and that before the leaves get big again, they would kill all the Kentuck ians, and Jive in their houses and eat their cattle. PHILADELPHIA, ’September 19. FxtraS if a letter from Lftun, elated Sept. 1 5. I “ The ship John Adams, 2fi davs from Li verpoo 1 , has just anchored—Also the ship Ro : mec, from London, in a (hort piffage ; the Ro jmeo, will bring the lateil news.”—This letter, which was cloftd at the departure of the mail, fays, that “ no intelligence had been communi cated from either drips.” Another letter, recei ved by this morning’s mail from Bolton, is said to date, that “ the demands of the American rninilters would act be complied with, and that a rapture between the United Spates and Great , Britain was immediately expected. I “ The medium through which this intelli ■ gence is Xaid to be received contradi&s the infor -1 nraticn, as it is far from probable that, under such an expeftation, drips laden with valuable cargoes would he permitted to leave England for this country.” PITTSBURGH, July 23. By a gentleman lately from Detroit, we are informed that the Britfh merchants at Micirili makinak refufe to purchale from the Americans, and that they are preparing to remove from our territory with their tffefts. It is further listed cm the fame authority, that the difficulties with the Indians on that frontier are such that it is not considered fafe to travel ftom Chicago to Detroit by land. LABANNON, (O.) August 28. We are hrppy to have it in cur power to con tradict the many groundless reports, relative to the hostile conduct of the Indians. The Editor )f this paper saw a gentleman this week,, that had just returned from an excurnon through” he frontier parts of this {fate, who informed bun, ;hr.t the Indians matrifefted as much friend'tip as usual, and that the alarm which had taken place, was without the haft foundation. Thole who live on the frontiers Ihoul l be cautious how reports of this kind are propigated, as they have a tendency to alarm the minds of the nee pie, and injure the Lfftemvat es ewr country. Public Intelligencer. | ’ SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, October 2, 1807. FOR THE INTELLIGENCER. Messrs. Editop.s, AN insidious production lias recently 1 : appeared in the “ Evening Ledger,” under the | ‘ signature of ‘ B.’ which I think entitled to par ticular observation. Not, indeed, because it possesses the beauties of langunge, or is evincive j of bright endowments; but because whenever j art is difeovered it fliould be expo led. The ex-; filing, and increasing influence of the Jnftices of 1 the Inferior Court appear to give the writer of | the article alluded to, an al-.noft insupportable J degree of uneasiness. It is a political maxim,; which cannot be controverted, that in free gov ernments the powers recognized (hottld •posited in separate and diftindl branches. rlWi j the frequent alltifions of ‘ B.’ to legal writings it is natural to infer that he is, by profi ffion, e lawyer ; but the subtlety of the pleader cannot always hide the motives of the man, and the en deavor to pervert truth, by fophiitical jargon, will forever fail, when con-cdv information can be so easily obtained, as in these United States. The writer under mv couflil-nation has the audacity to insult the good peopie of^■ Chatham County by the open censure of their condnfl in the felcdlion of their legislators lull rear. The snarls of disappointed T.ier. cannot awe the pec ;>le, and the censure of 2, wilt fcareely excite ■ heir contempt. He enters very sedately into a mefiicdicsl detail cf the various aGs atraer taimng to the public, the fu charge of which belongs to the Juftict-s of th? Inferior Court— One ot thole adds, enumerated by him, i? this— “ they feledl from among the citizens in each county such persons as they de..m worthy to ads as Grand Jurors.*’ We haze -bar! loud cor.-- plair.ings about this before the p re r 1 ‘ time ; but pray who are better ip-riffiea tcriti -d) Grand Jurors, than r x. of rrfl.eri'abirity and Lb iudgraer.t, (the poffcjiion of which is implied joy their housing the aoxointmav:-. of Jnftices) | and who adh rmler t*ie ir . I ooligsti-.n cf aj Solemn oath ? 15, and his i fcipl.-, would hae j the power of feiedliiig Gu I Juror;-., immediate-j ly under ‘the control o i the Superior Court.— j The duties cf a Grind Jure.* are import mt in the extreme, and the feleftkin of me , who are to p£p in that capacity, flnv id be placed where . there is the greatest probabilitr of a corrcdl -.d faint ary choice refusing. The Judge cf the 1 Superior Court may be the ft;- -.uotis advocate ;of right, and the zealous fapporter cf jaftice, j but the fallibility cf individual judgment is a llrong monition against confiding in a men, v.’.i ri ; men equally good and felid can be secured. Tt was a faying of Solomon, that ten fools would; form a Setter dedfion than one vise man —and; surely the Jnftices of the Inferior Court, men of! . reading, reSe&ion and integrity, will make a I better fdettion, than the Judge of the Superior Court. B, grumbles too, foriooth, because *in the ahfence of the Judge of the Superior Court they grant writs of habeas corpus, and aft upon them.” The iroft upright men, from a cone 1- teaetion of misfortunes, hive been under the! d'Tagrecable necessity of obtaining relief from imprisonment by the iiifolvent aft. li then the Judge of the Superior Court ebeofes to absent 1 himfelf from Chatham County, imleis the povei* 1 of granting writs of Habeas Corpus was veiled ,in the Juilices, unfortunate peiriinis would be ; doomed to linger in prison, until the convenience or pleasure of the Superior Magiitrate immid lead him again to visit us. It is iaiata.y to 1:1. veil the Ju(ticca with this power. | Where iciil e••!.*!.* is not i.wdved, the J.vf tices of t)>e Inferior Court nave cogsisajee of o civil cases, which exceed t-v? amour.t of ihiuv r j dollars. Tills is another fr.utfni 1 carte of com ! plaint to B; but of great corigratui-.iicn and pleasure to the Cuitfiding debtor. The decree, of the Inferior Court, however, u ot final; an I appeal may be made to a superior tri.b . lor ! jurifdiftiori—therefore, this jw.ver is be.,;.sipiai; and ccncot be dangerous. j To hear B, murrnutiug at the pewers de* ppfitctl with the Jr. bees of the Inferior Court,! such as, “ appointing overieers of the poor, lay ing off roads aud appointing cnmmifiioners thereof, ’is truly diverting. One would fu;*- pofe that the laying off of a road was an :m ----■jployment fignaTy honorable ; aid that tht ’ nomination of a ccmnr.fljoner was produlftive of i extensive ernolnnvnt. They are tedieu3 and: ! troubJefome employments, in f.ift, and the pec -1 pie ftiould, as they do generally, feel thankful to men of public spirit, who are willing they ihould devolve upon tiieir.fi Ives. B, thinks that 1 power of the Jnftices too extensive, by which they are authorifed to levy a tax for county pur poses. The tax can be levied but for the use of j the county, consequently, for the advantage cf its I inhabitants ; and periodical statements are ly:: -I matically drawn out, ami prefer.ted totbe people, j What can be fairer, more equitable or whale-! fome? Nothing can ; for public emergencies 1 will stife, and the exiltence of power, to levy a County Tax, for the purpose of meeting fucii emergencies is necessary. The people vv,:l never recommend ary man to the Executive depart ment, aa qualified to nil the Ration if a Jufiice, j whom they believe morally or pr’itically cor rupt ; ovv will they ever lead to the L-giiiature A. a bad citizen or an EngUfti advocate,! . H such to be his charadtcr. if they are B at the return of a periodical election, B remove the.legiflator ; and in the case B tier-, they can have his conduct icrotn-- B his pmen displaced. The iirft ‘ B bitrary power would be the fcgtnl -to by.,B from his pod, and political Giigrace 1... fl the certain consequence.
