LOUISVILLE,
TUESDAY, Ffbru-iry 26, 1799-
From Ireland we learn, that
the United Irilh, under the
command of Gen. Holt, have
had three engagements, with the
king's troops, in all of which
Holt hath been vittorioas—
that the only place now in pof
feflioa of the royal' party, is
Dublin and its environs; and
that liberty, equality and the
rights of man, once more begins
to rear their drooping heads,
and bids defiance to feeptered
tyranny.
The Planet Mercury will ap
pear on the Sun's Difc, May
the 7th, at nine, ten and eleven
o'clock in the forenoon. It will
appear like a fmall round fpot,
about the bulk of a dollar. To
fecure the eyes, ufe finoaked
