THE NEWS. VV asmington, April 5. —• norFlityT . Mr Charlton, The entire meaning cf thie word lies in the relations yhich men bear to one another. All our ji/Vions, conrfudt, and motives, towards, ourlelv-ea, and other ;, con (titute our mota’ity. The molt ex tended sense of ‘he word means GE NERAL Good. This, left view of the fubjeO embraces the doctrine of morality ; but as morality lk the bu finefs of all mankind, it is not to be expected that the good each man can do, can be general, yet general good is the proper end of morality. By this we are to under (land the greatest good in our power to per form ; or that conduct, taken in all its relations and consequences, which is likely to be the moll beneficial to focic-ty. For we can only promote general good but by adding to indi vidual advantages ; for it is very rarely that we can be of any signal service to the public. If we (tana {fill, waiting for opportunities of promoting th© good of the whole, by some grand Broke cf benevolence, we (ball nafs away life in • trance, and i (Left nothing. Mora'ids exhort men to look to diftaot consequences. But by stretch ing one’s view too far, is as bad as confining it too near. To be gap ing at the distant horizon, is as bad as pouring.cn the ground. Ir. either way we miss the windings of the path before us, and the ohjcfts a bout us. The proper way of judg ing of our rules of conduct, is by their ufefuinefs—Utility is virtue, and virtue is morality. We ought to ffudy the duties of life, which lie every day in our way ; and make outfelves perfe£l in the common vir tues, before we attempt to be splen did. Cur daughters ought to be taught by habit, and example, that they are to be ufeful ; and to know inai female excellence lies in being a good wife, a good mother, and a good neighbor. Qur Tons fhoulcl be taught to employ their faculties of realon, judgment, and bodily power, for the good of themselves, their fa mily, and society, so far as they are concerned by common intercourse. In this way every individual may promote public good by morality. JL . The result <>f the }•nmcl canrns held thta evening, has pi-1 bee. 1 disclosed to us.

State of Ireland. Extract ‘.J"lc.icr, dated if ughcla, 28/// Oc tober, 1815. On the 3d of this month the counties of Tipperary mid Limerick were proclaimed out of the Kiiitds peace ; 12,000 troops have marched into Tipperary; any person found out of his house one hour before Sun-rise, or one hour after Sun-set, wdhout being able satisfactorily to account for tltemselves, is forrwii.h transported for seven years to Botany Bay. The magistrates and troops po out at night# knock at the doors’ and demand arms, the peop.e commonly deny having any—ilu. troops enter and a search conin>,‘oces, if any arms are found, the-owners are tried by “a bench magistrate, and transported without, fur her ceremony. Trial by jury is sus pended in those two counties, iliat is I.irne rick and Tipperary. Three men were bro’l into Clonrneli about fourteen days ago, and charged with having - a carbine, three gun locks, and some shot in their houses, tie nißgis 1 rates ordered them’ to Bo’any Bay, and they were removed without a.monuntV delay, from the courthouse toji cjir that was .ippo-siti the door, aod sent off instantly i to Cork, under a strong escort for trans portation. Special commissions are issued for Limerick and ‘i ipperaiy, and the sarin: system is f lowed is every town in boll) counties. The oppression of dietythe sys tem is i he caute o’ ail tho e disordnrs.

Patrick Hone sent out his proctor and seven men, armed each with a blunderbuss and ease o! pistols, m value their crops anil > prepare them for a citation to the vicar’s court.

The 15 men filed oil at the.orders of. one man, and made at the rate of six. miics each hour : Tins is-ihe beginning, but where will be the end, God’ omy can tell. We are in a most wretched filiation.

The great distress of many of the merchants then, is attributed to this excessive trade. We shall be happy, indeed, if the evil is not felt here.
