At the general election at New Port, on the 7th in
flant, his excellency William Greene, esquire,
were finifhed, the choir performed the te deum; after
which a procession was made in like manner as before
to the chapter room, and from thence to the caflle,
where the knights reposed themselves till dinner was
fer ed; when a procession was again made from the
presence chamber to St. Patrick's-hall, where the
knights took their feats covered, viz. the grand mas.

the prelate and the chance lor at the two ends of the
sovereign s table, and the knights on each fide; ami

when they retired to the feats prepared for them.
Towards the end of the firft course, when his ex

during the said proclamation.—AfteV which the knights

presence chamber, where the ceremony finifhed; and
the esquires and officers retired tb the dinner prepar

This country is not much obliged to our quondam
secretary, Mr. Eden, for his very generous remark in
hislate fpeecn in the British house of commons, where
he Co emphatically expresses his fears, that the 'frifh
parliament will take the firft advantage that pfefents
itfelf of breaking through its compact with Britain,
by refufing to adopt any future commercial regulation
that may be thought necessary in England, refpefb'ng
the American trade: this candid reasoner is very much
alarmed lead the American sugar bakers should in
time supply Ireland with refinedfugars on better terms
than the English, a circumflance that cannot, in the
nature of things, take place for many years, but if it
should, the English Weft-India merchants and refiners
well deserve to lose a monopoly they have endeavour
ed to eflabdfh by such flagitious means.
Yesterday, being the feftival of St. Patrick, tutelar
faint of Ireland, and the day appointed for the instal
lation of the newly created knights of the SHAM
ROCK, at fix in the morning the volunteer corps of the
county and city of Dublin paraded at the royal ex
change, and balloted for the guards which were to be
Rationed in the cathedral; after which they proceeded
to Dawson-street, to receive inftruHions from the right
honourable lord mayor, appointed commanding officer
of the day, and from thence marched to the cathedral,
the avenue to which, from the middle of Bride street,
was strongly lined, and were there joined by the troops
in garrison, who also lined the remaining flreets to the
caflle. Guards of horse and foot were Rationed at the
different avenues leading into the flreets through which
the procession moved, which prevented carriages pa ff
ing, and the populace from being too pressing, and by
which judicious arrangement, the procession met with
not the least obflru&ion. The cavalcade left the caflle
between ten and eleven o'clock, in the following order:
a large detachment of dragoons, Rate trumpets, battle,
axe-guards, sword of Rate, sovereign's esquires, arch
bishop of Dublin, prelate of the order, the lord lieute
nant, as grand master, lord Mufkerry, as proxy for
his royal highness prince Edward, the duke of Leinfler,
the earls of Clanricar.de, Wefimeath, Inchiquin, Shan
non, Clanbiaffill, Mornington, Arran, Courtown,
Charlemont, and Beftive—the earl of Ely, the remain
ing knight, being out of the kingdom, his invefliture
and inflallation could not take place. Each knight
had three esquires, who attended him io his carriage.
In going to the church, the knights were in their fur
coat only, with their caps in their hands; but in their
procession back, after they were installed, they were
dressed in the full mantle, habit, and collar of the or
der. The dresses of the whole were very rich and mag
nificent. The procession returned to the caflle a little
after two o'clock, and the knights appeared at the win
dows to gratify the fpedators.
F T S H-K I L L, May 22.
A correspondent observes that he has lately viewed
the churches and houses in New York, and that all
the churches are, except the Episcopal, the Moravian,
and the Methodists, converted into flores or barracks,
and appear in a very loathsome condition; the fences
which encompassed the burying-yards being destroy
ed, the pews in all, and the galleries in some of them
pulled down, the windows broken and otherwise much
abused. It would add much to the honour of the
British government, to repair the damage done to
those fabricks, dedicated to the worship of God, which
they have in a great measure wantonly and unnecessa
rily abused : and, should general Carleton not have it
in his power to repair the churches, the Tefpeft which
oueht to be (hewn to places of divine worship, should
prompt him to order them swept, washed and cleaned,
and the abominable filth removed out of the churches
and church-yards; and, at the fame time, to order
the houses, which he and his predecessors in command
have turned into barracks, to be cleaned and repaired,
that as much as possible grounds of complaint may be
removed in these refpeds. If these abuses remain un
noticed, they will surely fix a lading fligma on the
Brirfh commander in chief, who had it in his power to
do much to the redress 'of those reasonable complaints.
The period now draws nigh when he may have orders
to evacuate the city, and to leave churches, houses,
and flreets full of filth, will not reflect credit on the
present possessors. We wish therefore that every thing
may be done to promote mutual good understanding,
. and to prevent the Curses of an injured people.

Just as this paper was going to press, arrived the
Apollo, captain Bunyan, who left Spithead the 3d
< of April, and the land on the sth; he spoke the brig
Henry, captain Jamaifon, from Cork, twelve days
ago, all well; by him we have received the follow
ing advices:
No arrangement of ministers since the arrival of the
kis.—The following appeared to be the new choice of
his majesty's administration:
The duke of Portland, firft lord of thetreafury.
Lord North, and the honorable Mr. Fox, secreta
ries of state.
Lord Stormont, president of the council.
The earl of Cariifle, lord privy seal.
Lord Beauchamp, secretary at war.
Lord John Cavendish, chancellor of the exchequer.
Mr. Burke, paymaster of the land forces.
Colonel North, treasurer of the navy.
Viscount Keppel, firft lord of the admiralty.
Frederick Montague, and fir Grey Cooper, lords of
the treasury.
Mr. William Adam, one of the lords of the admi
ralty.
LONDO N,
March 31. The public may be assured that no new
administration is yet fettled. The projected coalition
was too unnatural to bring forth any offspring that
could live : and in all probability the parties concern
ed will reap nothing but the disgrace of having been
willing to form any jundion, and to facrifice any pro
feffed principles, and all appearance of confiflency, for
the fake of office. The intelligence we communicated
to the public, on Friday was true. His majefly de
sired a written arrangement. The coalition either
could not agree, or were themselves ashamed of their
own proposals. It is thought by many that his ma
jeffy has ailed with great wisdom in demanding it; that
he might be able to fatisfy the public that the stipu
lations and conditions of the patriots contained nothing
for the benefit of the people, but all for themselves ;
and that the objeft of the present coalition was mere
ly to ofurp the whole power of the state, viz. to ap
point the servants of the crown, and the fervanrs of the
people, by forcing an adminffiration on the king, and
defeating the prayers of the people for a reformation
in the house of commons.'
Matters (landing in this fifuation, it is expelled that
there will be a grand display in the house, bo h of prin
ciple and no principle; and those who are fortunate
enough to fee the exhibition, will be able to separate
the sheep from the goats; for that day will be a day
of judgment.'
1 here was another meeting yeflerday afternoon, fit
lord Fitzwilliam's, of a considerable number of the
members of the house of commons, and several peers,
but we could not learn what resolutions they came to.
# We hear that Mr. Pitt will certainly make his mo,

sentation of the people, prior to his going abroad; the
fate of this motion will best evince the principles of tho
