The Dublin Mail, which arrived this day, has brought tome letters which wear rather an alarming complexion: we are happy, however, in having it in pur power to Rate from later fent off at the lateß briar, that Tome of the accounts have been much ex aggerated. On the evening of the aid, there was _ _ fomething like a riot on one of the Qnays, a cit.- : cumftaece not very unufual in fuch a quarter ; but happening at a moment, when men's minds were • in a [tate of agitation, from the reported preparations '• for invading us, it was converted by rumour into a riflif of the difaffeaed. Unfortunately a Magiarate was killed in the affray. The alai m was very general at one time of the evening, and it was Paid the drums bad beat, Or were going to beat to arms. We hope, however, that the accounts by the next mail will re move every apprehcntion that may Live been excited by the accounts of this morning. We are happy to Rate Tome reporti of a much more pleafing nature than the above. One of them is, that a laite commercial Houfe in the City lira received setenitits from Holland, that the Dutch troopi begin to turn naive a little at the ordeniffued by the French Commanders. Two of the Regiments, it :1 Paid, had aanally revolted : if this prove true, we may in.

Accounts -; are Paid to have been received refpciaing the intentions of Ruffia, which are much more favourable to this % country than the public have been led to e :peel from the accounts publilbed by Come of our contempora , ries. Ruffia, it is Paid, is decidedly with us ; and this has been helloed by Come petulant condua of the FIaST CONSUL towards ALIIMIDEIL'S AMbailidOS at • Paris, fimilar to what Lord WHITWORTH experienced at Madam Bona varra's Levee. The Rutlian Am• baffador heard him to an end, and then with much fpirit told him, that any infult offered to himfelf he thould have thought unworthy of fcriuus notice; but that he was deceived if he thought the Reprefentative of a Power which, though di (hint, could ov'erwhebn him, was to be infulted with impunity.—ln one word, that his Mailer would relent it in the fame manner that the Ktno of Great Britain bad done the indir nits offered to his Minifler. We cannot vouch for the abfolute tor►ianefs of this detail, but it has come to us from a quarter which leaves hut little doubt with us, that in the general outline it will eventually be confirmed. A Cabinet Council was yellerday held at Lord Howes Office, upon the fobjea if the general arming of the people. the rciult of which was fent off to his Ms; [STY at Windfor.

The topic to which I hate this day to call your attention is, that an enemy, a powerful, a fierce, a cruel and rapacious enemy—is at your door; an enemy, who after meeting with fire, (word and rapine, the reit of Europe, kritiws that this Country Rands almoft the foie exceptiori to his Gusguinary conqueßs, and the Only barrier to his uni verTal dominion. I need not add, that this ferociout enemy pants to realife in this Country fimilar (eerie, to thole which he has aged in every other part of Europe; and amulet he ever be tliccefsful in his de figns, you would fee your wives and daughters vio- Isted before your eyes in the open flreets (murmur: itui,eireriviv,), and your lons and brethren roalTacred td your highways; while the place where we now affenible, would become the (laughter-houfe of your fellow Citizens. Milroy will tell you, that when Confialitiouple and Rome were attacked and Rormcd, the One Fit the Saracens, and the other by the barba rian invadeet of the North, every thing within them appeared iranaitii, while every thing without was wet. The enemy Torpriaed them: inapprehenlive of danger, and mpofing on a falfe and fatal fecurity, their Nobles were funk in luxurious apathy. their Merchants were attend ng their bufinefs in their ware boufes, and their money-changers were fitting quietly in their places. What was the confequence ? they became an eafy prey to their ferocious invaders. The two greeted cities in the wield were thus lacked, their inhabitants maffacred. and their wealth became the prey of their barbarous *jam. Had they in time attended to the dangers of their fituation ; had they refolved to appropriate a part of their wealth lor the defence of the whole ; had they themtelves taken up arms. and not trt.fitel to the carelefs, becaufe unin levelled defence of others, they might have avoided that ruin which they f iw too late for remedy. Goo fend this may never be our fate ! Gon fend the fero- cious enemy, who ni.w menaces our deßrudion, may never fo far fucceel in his hops of finding us off our guard, as to be able to reduce us to the mifery in which he has already involved fo many other coon. tries of Europe. But if he does. I true in GOD that I and my children will be amongft the fiat to fall, that we may never furvive to fee the ruin and defola tion that would then be (bed upon this now happy and profperous Country. But. my fellow-citizens, now when we are fully apprized of the intentions of the bold, daring, and rapacious enemy, who is ready to rick any thing in the hope of our deftrudion. I trial they will not find us difpnfed tamely to futinit under their attack ; I mill the free and brave inhabitants of this happy land, will never fo fax difgrace themeelves, their anceßors. and their country, as not rather to die, to the IA man, in defence of their liberties and their =ion. than fubmit, on their own foil, to become the naves of a Foreign Ufurper.

DREADFUL FIRS AT Boosay.—A moll dreadful fire broke out in the quarters of Bombay, called the Bazar, which confumed upwards of one thoufand houfes, and, according to thesellimate of intelligent perfons, as we are informed by private letters, de ftroyed upwards of five millions Reding of property. The Bowie, Courier of the i9th February gives the following account of this diluter Ois Thitriday bin, a mon dreadful and alarm ing fire broke out in our crowded and populous Bazar, the ravages of srbich, though it is not yet quite ex tinguithed, it is impolfible to relate ; the extent of the devaftation may be fomevritat conjectured by thofe who are acquainted with Bombay, when we fay that about threaourths of the Bazar are deftroyed, in cluding perhaps acts theufand honks, and when the nature of thee dwellings is confidered. having many families under one roof, the number of the unions nate (offerers mall be proportionally great. We are at a 104 to flaw with certainty where the . fire origi nated; faid to have been in a liable on the morn ing of Thuefday, where fome,valuable bodes became its firft 'A ims; unfortunately the wind continued rather high the whole day. which increafed the flames in the provers of its direction with aflonifising rapi dity, and to great and violent was the conflagration at fun let, that the deftraftion of every bolds in the fort was to be apprehended. All the records sad papers in the Secretary's office were early removed, and the houfes of bafinefs followed the example indeed, every inhabitant, however remote, took the precaution to remove his furniture and Atlas. Beyond the Bazar the flames extended to the King's Barracks. which are mistily clearoyed. The Cullom Monte alto is in ruins, proceeding from thence to the range of hoofer called the Tank Barracks. when: it was flopped by the prudent precaution of ufing artillery w beat down the contiguous buildings. Dn. ing the whole continuance of this awful deftruc tion every effort was tiled to oppofe its progrcfs, but the fury of the flames, aided by the wind, rendered all attempts vain." The article goes on to Rate. that for fume time the reatell apprzbetslion was entertained for the gun yon, n age:inch ft.c. ; but at laft the wind provides. nails , tains, the fury .if the conflagration fubfided.
