On looking in a tew days after, they perceived that during their abfence a lug ger Mad got in from France, fuppofed to have brought orders to Admiral Livouc irk 'NEVIr LE. to put that place in a Rate of defence. In confequence of the little likelihood that at that !irne appeared of an ami cable iiiite to the negociation, the batteries were im• mediately mounted with cannon, and five fail of the line fhnrtly after flipped out for Fiance. The inhabitants of filo Cape, we under-Rand, are in the greatea diflrefs for prnvifions. They had only enough to fervc them for 20 days ; and filch was the fcarcity of flour, that a haktr, who had a contralt for fupplying the army at Jeremie, and had purchafed s 5 barrels at the former place, was not allowed to (hip them.

The route by Tonningen is however fo circuitous, that the delay need excite no furprize. The wind has been.fair for thefe two days paR, and fome of them may now be hourly expeCted to arrive. We underaand that Mr. LINoo, who had the FIRST Cortstm's exprefs permit Eon to repair to Paris to ar range the bills drawn by the Commander in Chicf in St. Domingo upon the French Gosernment, was one of the palrengers on board the Dann veffel which was refufed admifflon into Calais a few days ago, as we Rated yefterday. The Spanith Melrenger and the French Commiffary for the exchange of pri foners were alfo on board. The refufal to permit Inch perfons to land at Calais, Thews the Rrienefs with which the orders are executed for excluding from certain French ports all veffels which have touched at England. This is probably with the in tention of concealing the real nature and extent of the preparations now making in the ports of the Chan nel for the invafion of this Country. We are forry to find, by letters received this morning from Dover, that news has been received there of 26 of the French gun-boats having efcaped out of Boulogne, when the want of moon-light pre vented our gun-boats from being able to perceive their intention. They got fate into Calais, whither Come of our cruizers have gone to watch them. It is fuppofed they will, when they can get an opportu nity, proceed thence to Dunkirk.—Calais being one of the French gun-boat fkulking holes, is is no won der that veffels from our ports ihonld be refuted ad milßon there. It mull give fatisfaelion to every friend of his coun try to obferve that, notwirhftanding the great prepa rations which have been made to repel a malignant enemy, fhould he dare to carry his threats of invafion into execution, the Government, far from encourag ing a dangerous fpirit of fell: fecurity, continues to adopt every precaution which prudence and forefight can devife to prevent the poftibility of a furprize. The mouths of all our navigable rivers will Coon be in Cuch a nate, as to defy the entrance of any force however formidable, and the fame will be the cafe with even our moll trifling harbours. The Sea Fenciblcs will render the molt effential Cervices to their country in there arrangements ; and the Go vernment is now bufy in providing them with the proper means. For fame days pan, the Mailer Boat-builder of the Chatham. Dock Yard, has been out procuring boats capable of mounting carronades. All the lighters and other craft at that yard, proper for the purpofe, have been ordered to be fitted out ; and fuch of them as are cf fufficient burden are to carry long pieces befides the carronades.—Similar meafures are follow. ing in other quarters. A brigade of Artillery, confining of fix field pieces, and a proportionate number of waggons, has been at Chatham for fome days, which will, it is thougbt, be attached to an expedition now preparing. . The SHANNON is undocked, and is ordered for Channel fervice. • The LEOPARD is alto ordered out. Captain Ct. w. NINGHAM is expeSed to commiflion her. Yeflcrday morning the Dcal flotilla was reviewed by the Right Hun. WPI. Parr, acc?panied by Lord MAHON, General Nam, and tome other perfons of diflinetion. It cunfifts of 34 fine boats, under the command of Captains Esstiacrom and FASIAN, and Superintendant Mr. THOMAS CAIRNEY, one of the Wardens of the Deal pilots ; each boat carrying an eighteen or twelve pounder cart onade. The boats went afloat at nine o'clock in the morning, formed a line with great addrefs, fired fit rounds, and went through the u::17.1 evolutions in a f.ac Ryle. The novel fccne performed by the Deal bo amen, as brave and loyal a let of fcamen as any in his Majefly's do minions, gave great fatisfaaion to thoufands of peo ple collcacd on the beach. IRISII DTSURGENTS. The Dublin Mail of this mornin7 has brought us fome very important particulars tefpeding the trial of the four infargents who were con% ided on the loth init. They will be read with muds interell by all who with to know the real hate of fals, refpeling the commencement of the late d;fgraceful infurrec• Lion, But how greatly mull thi. Public be furprized when informed, that the ignorance, want of informa tion, and obtlinate fool-hardinefs, which have been molt induftrioully imputed to the frifh Government, and on the pretended authority of Mr. CLARKE, whofe character for loyalty and probity gave fome colour to the calumny while it remained uncontradided, has been completely refuted by the evidence of that very Gentleman himfelf on the trial of thefe men ! We (hall not dwell upon the circurntlance, but leave it to our Readers to make their own refisdions on the fub• joined letter : DUBLIN, SEPT. 12. On Saturday la(t I merely mentioned the con conviction of the four men tried that day ; the evi dence was fhort, but brought clearly to the charge, for they were taken in New-ftreet, by a watch patrole, and when arrefted had pikes in their hands. To this fad two watchmen bore the ftrongeft teflimony.—ln the courfe of the evidence tome matter came out, not unimportant, and with which you. and the other London Prints, willing to be jolt and impartial, ought to be acquainted. You mull recoiled, that very early after the infurredion here, I noticed to you the mifreprefentations on the fubjed, which tome of the London Papers, in the pay of difappointed Cation, dire&ed againft the adminiflration of our good and juftly popular Viceroy. Indeed, the Brag!) public fhould have been fufficiently inftruded of thofe calumnies by the mediums through which they flawed. In one publication it was particularly at (cried, that when Mr. CLARKE, of Palmer's-town, an eminent manufacturer, and a Magiftrate for the county, informed Mr. Maasosa, Secretary for the Civil Department here, of an intended riling, his in formation was defpifed, and himfelf treated with contumely and difrefped. Now hear what Mr. CLARE', as refpeaable, honourable, and independent a character as any in the county of Dublin, lays himfelf—ii Having been called on by two of the pri foners, Dowliy and Tyrrel, to bear teftimony to their characters, it came out is his examinations, that hav ing been led to fufped, by the obfervations which his great intercourfe with the working people had ena bled him to make, that fomething dangerous was in agitation among them, he waited on Mr. ?datums the Thurfday morning previous to the infurredion ; his information was received with the utmoft atten tion and politenefs, and he was requefted to return to his manufactory immediately, continue his ob fervation, and acquaint Mr. M. with the refult." The next morning he waited again on the Secretary, telling him that he had had reafon to change his mind, and to think that he bad been precipitate in the apprehen fions which be had expreffed. Mr. MARIDIN, how ever, cautioned Mr. CLARKE againft yielding too much to a feeling of fecurity, and not to relax in his vigilant obfervation : from this, it was apparent that Mr. M. had not been without other information, or without a difpofition to attend to it. Mr. CLARK' repaired again to his poll, and the circuinflance of an unufnal fir and commotion among his men, hay ing revived his apprehenflons, he loft no time in fee ing Mr. MARSDEN on the morning of Saturday the 23d July, and feveral times in the ccurfe of the day, and found him adopting meafures, as far as depended on him, to meet any attempt of infurredion ; and, among others, he confulted Mr. C where to place military parties in his viciti.tge, and they agreed on doubling the guards at Chapelizod, and appoint ing a ftrong party to patrole between that and Pal mer's-town; thus effectually defending the molt im portant depots of ammunition, &c. and which, it appears by the evidence on former trials, the rebels had intended to attack in the firft inflance. Now I leave to you and ever y candid, honeß man, who reads your Paper, to judge what degree of credit ought to be paid to thole accounts which have ap peared in fome of the London Prints. To fabricated anonymous letters, as horn Dublin, couched in lan guage which no Gentleman could acknowledge, is oppofed the tellimony on oath, and in the face of his country, of Mr. C , than whom, I repeat, there is not an honeßer or more refreelable Gentleman in the city or county of Dublin. I would not, perhaps, have dwelt fo much on this, but to prove to you, that you have a right to believe me, alien I freak of faels within my own knowledge, and palling under my own eyes. jobs Hay, alias Ilaya, was convifled to day, with. out the Jury retiring from the box : the principal evidence againll him was the fame as on the trial of Felix Rourke, namely, Mabaffy and Ryan ; the one proved that the prifoner had piked the dragoon at whom Routh fired the blunderbufs, and the other, that the fanguinary wretch alfo piked the dragoon's horfe after he had fallen : it appeared alio, that the prifooer had fled the next mori.:ng after the infur ration to Edenderry, a confideraLle dillance from this city, and where he was taken. The convinion was, confequently, as clear as poffible, anJ required no hefitation. The traitors Klan and 11P Cann tirdt7 . 7zni thi., day the fentence of the law, in Thomas fireet, and had the grace to confers that fentence jun. The.four men tried and found guilty on Satur• day, will be brought up for judgment tomorrow, and along with them the prifoners convicted to-day. Emmet will not be tried on Wednerday, but merely brought up to plead : his trial will be deferred for a few days. Redmond is rapidly recovering, and it is erpefted will be in a condition to be brought to trial in the courfe of next week. There were guards of the regulars placed on the canal bridges and other out polls to-day. Yeflerday his May ESTY and the Princes Auc USTA in a phaeton, and her MAJESTY and Princefs &ma n LTH, and the Duke of Karr in a fociable, attend ed by Lady STAWELL and the Duke of CLARENCE and Mr. GaEv*LLE on horfehack, took an airing through Kew and Richmond Gardens to Hampton Court and Bufliey Park, where his MAJESTY •iewed, his dud, and returned through Richmond Park to Kcw. Her MAJESTY and the Princaes left Kew for Windfor this morning. Yellerday morning three mell'engers arrived at Kew before eight o'clock, with difpatches for his MAJESTY. Mr. LEACH has fucceeded Mr. BLAMEa in the Police Office. Hatton.garden, as well as in that of the Clerk of the County Court. The Earl of CHATH•td. arrived at Chatham on Sunday 1.111. and took up his, refidence in the Matt Pion. lately occupied by General DUNDAL A fplendid ball and (upper were given by Lady Lowrms R at the Cattle, Whitebaven, on Friday la*. The company, which amounted to upwards of 120, were highly delighted with her Ladythip's polite affability, and that of the whole Family. LadyLowr ER vifitedWoskington on the 3rl;na. and Lord Lowr s fa was there on I'hurfday fe'nnight. On both occafions the chips in the harbour 'milled their colours ; and, by various ways, the greateft public reipeet was manifelled. The Marquis of SALISBURY'S birth day was cele. braced yeflerday at Hatfield with great fplendour,— A magnificent dinner was given to a numerous patty of the Nobility, and in the lawn a great number of marquees were ereeted for the accommodation of the tenantry and the neighbouring farmers. In the evert ing there was a grand concert, and the fcene of hila rity concluded with a grand ball. Upwards of 300 cards of invitation were and on the occafion. A letter from the Bahamas, dated July t 3, to a Gentleman in London, fays, " Your friend Bowt.es, the Diredor General f Mufcogee, is caught by the Spaniards, and put in the Moro Cattle, in the Ha vannah. I with a man whole name begins with the fome letter was chained alongfide of him." Among the new improvements in taaics, the Duke of Yoac has ordered, that the men thall continue with arms levelled a few feconds after fixing. This is to prevent accidents from pieces hanging fire. The Duchefs of YORK'S own regiment of Light Dragoons were on Wedoefday reviewed on the plaid near Folkeflone by General CARTY/R10:314T. They took the field at fix o'clock, and went through their different mantzuvres in excellent flyle. General CARTWRIGHT proceeded to Dover after the review. ' On Saturday forenoon, his Highnefs Prince Wit, mast of GLOUCSITIa took a fail acrofs the water from Liverpool to Chefhire, and afterwards returned ter Knowfly to dine with the Earl of Deasy. On the Sunday morning his Highnefs went to church ; af ter fervice the Prince, accompanied by his fuite; the Mayor, and Col. BnLrow, honoured the Lyceum with a rifit a he was highly pleafed with the magni. ficence of the aruelure and propriety of the internal condue. He very politely accepted the offer of being an honorary Member of the Library. Tuefday his Highnefs accepted the invitation of Capt. Cotikurrr, to dine on board la Paiscass t a floop of war, of 26 guns, Rationed oppofite Liver pool, and about five o'clock proceeded to the booth pier, where he embarked in a twelve oared barge, accompanied by his two Aids de Camp, Gen. Bea son, Cel. BOLTON, and many other o ffi cers of dif tinelion. At the moment of embarkation a royal fa -1 lute of 21 guns, was fired from la PRONG ass e, and on his•going on board, the royal flandard was hoilted at the main, the union at the fore, and a broad enfigix at the mixers top mall head. A band of mufic Rruck up and the whole of the 'hip yards were manned.— The Shores on each fide the River were lined with fpeltators, and on this fide efpecially an immeoft concourfe, probably not lefs than twenty thoufand perfons, were afl'embled to witnefs this novel and pleafing fight. All the boats which ufually ply up on the river were put into a Rate of requifition to do homage to the Pews on this occafion, and the river was alma covered with them. The evening was ferene and calm, the water confequently unruf fled by a wave, and the whole exhibited a fpethela in a high degree interefling. At fun fet, on the firing of the evening gun, the flags at the fore and mizen mails were hauled down, but the Royal flandard continued flying till his Highnefs returned on flame. FIRE.—On Monday night ha, between nine and ten o'clock, a fire broke out at the Livery Stables of Mr. GILDING in Parr-ftreet, behind Duke-Rreet, Li. verpool, which, from the nature of the premifer, burnt with tremendous fury. The difcovery of this terrible calamity was not made until the fire had reached fuch a height, as to render it impoflible to get out the horfes, and it is with extreme concern, we add, that fix of there ufeful animals fell victims to its devouring rage. In this concern, all our read ers, we are perfuaded, will participate when we add, that four of them belonged to Gentlemen of the Cr !fairy, and were employed in that honourable and important fervicc. The alarm bell sea, rung a little befere ten o'cock, and every poffible of flance was inflantly given. Doachments from the different military corps affembled, among the foreasoft of whom was Lis Royal Higlinea the Prince of GLOW' Milt and Stuff. He continued upon the fpot till twelve o'clock, aiding by his counfel, and animating by his pretence and example. Happily for the neigh bourhood the flames extended no further, though confiderable Almage was done by the removal the furniture f. . m the neighbouring houfes.-.4snert ca Chreas.:e. fpo all , 1 Jen for fpol fsr N. iron Iron Ce Rave Am row, Gres Boon At D toner Appl 4 Am, (*.Apt • -Cr, •7!)• 11
