LONDON, June 15. The following letter from Dublin appears in a morning pa per of the 18 th. The Dublin Evening Pofl, a day later in date than the subjoining letter, does >t even hint at any thing of a fl nilar nature: Dublin, June 12.—-Our gov ernment has certainly received intelligence, thro’ various ref pedable channels, that fyimp toms of insurgency have mani fefled chemfeives in the counties of Kildare, Carlow, Wicklow and Wexford j and that che 20th ot the present month is IHe day on which more desperate mea sures are expeded to’ be declar ed. An advertifernent of a White Horse intended to be dis posed of by public audion in the Mountains cf Wicklow,” has ap peared in all the provincial pa pers, and is (aid to be a notifica tion of the intended revolt. GLASGOW, June 14. Our foreign news for lift week has been inconfidcrable. Ruf fle, by accounts coming down to a date in May, appears ft, ll to prosecute moll (irenuoufly, the extenflon of her power on the Black Sea. The internal improvement of the Empire ad vances at this time more rapidly than ever, Ihe Georgians, Mingrehans, Circaffians chose ocher barbarous tribes, which desolate and infeft the regions” between the Ruffian and Perflan Empire, arc ab>ut to be subdu ed, rellrained and civilized.— The Empej-or Alexander seems to encline to peace with France, yet prepares for war. Sweden, speaking in feme fort the very voice or Ruflia, declares against Bonaparte, with a spirit and firmnefs, Lcond only to thoie of Britain. Denmark is silent, on account of the vicinity of the French troops, or for other rea fnr.s, but will not ultimately re fill the influence of Ruflia, and S\v:d a- .kuflb ft!!! maintains & doubtful parr, cautions but feared) honorable, and certain ly remote from sublime and manly wifdoni. The Turkifli government afting, like Swe den, under Ruffian influence, has boldly set the menaces of Bonaparte at defiance. Auflria hditates, maintains a threatening posture and afpeCt, and tries to wrest from Prussia, the pride of being umpire in the prelent con test—Portugal is still secure in a fort of neutrality, by the pru T dence of its government, by the readiness of its contributions, by the danger lead Ruflia should take arms, and Spain revolt as soon as the Portuguese were ac tually attacked. We fliouldnot be fuiprifed to learn, that Bona parte had offered to facrifice all his other pretenfior.s in an offer of peace upon terms which would procure the general re cognition of his. powers and title as Emperor of France, and king of Italy. Bur, should he obtain this much—he will loon demand even ten times more. ——op<o——•• BOSTON, Aug. 10. THE LATEST. Between three and four o'- clock, this morning, the {hip Sally-Ann, Capt. S. Glover*, arrived here from Liverpool, which place (he left 9th July, five days later than capt. Wood —Capt, G. politely favored us with London papers, including July 5, three days Leer than be fore received. We flop the press, to announce a few parti culars 1 A Loudon article of July 4, 6t>.ves—Notwxthftanding va rious reports in the public pa pers, it is not afeertained that j Mr. Monroe, the American ’ mirjifter, had left Madrid on the 26th May. Whenever he leaves that city, he comes immediate ly here, to resume hisftation; arid then Mr. Erviilg, late can ful and agent of the U. States* and charge des affairs here, goes to Madrid, as secretary of lega -1 tion, and charge des affairs to ! that court. General Lyman has succeeded Mr. Erving in ins’ late employment here—Pi obie maucai. Auflria is said so have de manded an explicit explanation of Bonaparte, refpefting his far ther designs on Italy. A letter from Milan mentions that the feat of the Italian government will ffiordy be removed to Rome -—“ the ancient metropolis of the world”—and that fears entertained that Naples will next fall under Napoleon. A paper of July 5, contains an interesting debate in the house oflords, on the 4th of July, up on colonial intercourse with A liierica. ~~ Philadelphia, Aug. 17. NEGOCIATION WITH SPAIN.
