DUBLIN, (Ireland.)
September 28. A letter from Settin, to a merchant
of this city, fays, that the Balti trade in future will
be entirely carried on by France, in consequence of
treaties just concluded between the maritime powers of
the North and that kingdom.
mre^^biin Society have adjourned their meeting
until the 2d of November next, after many months
sedulous attention to the promoting the arts and ma.
nufadures of this kingdom. Several new objects have
opened to their consideration since the enlargement of
our trade: patterns of coarse woolens have been
brought over from the continent for our manufacturers,
and a number of recent improvements in machinery
for carrying on the fabrication of cloths and fluffs have
been procured from Great-Britain ; nor have our own
artifis been remits in proposing the ereßing of such
machines as they fland in need of, particularly the
corporation of goldsmiths, who have memorialed the
Society for aid to ere& a flatting mill for rolling out
fiver, &c. the corporation of weavers for a silk mill
to be worked by water ; and captain Erook for feverai
machines necessary to eflablifh a cotton manufactory
at Kilbegs near Naas.
It was not unaptly said in parliament, that many
years would pass away before we could obtain a bene
fit from our free trade. In fact, a nation, unused to
indufiry, indolent though poor, and luxurious with
out the legal means of gratifying luxury, cannot fit
down to praßife the arts of accumulating wealth,
while it can exist upon artificial affluence." Though,
we cannot compliment one part of the community
with being the very rich, yet we are miserably certain
that the other part is composed of the very poor, and
the former h^dj^f in dequate to the ide
as of importance, to afford the lartcx _. ^v
exigence as they can. Surrounded as we are by the
means of an intercourse with the world, perhaps the
richest jewel which rises on the bosom of the Atlantic,
force our ports have been open, a criminal apathy
seems to influence the public mind, and neither our
opulent cities or seaport towns have formed associati
ons for commerce, or encouraged through all the coun
try of Ireland, the erection of a new manufactory.
The landlord still continues to view, without pity or
a notion of humanity, his naked yaffal flarve out a
life in dirt and indigence, without pointing out a means
of railing the image of the Maker from the groveling
situation of the swine that feed in a corner of his ho
vel. No example is set by the opulent, and the poor
cannot draw the neck from the foot that tramples it
in the dust. While things remain in this hopeless situ
ation, a free trade is poured in like the manna in the
wildernef^ upon a people determined to be poor, tho'
every eerier of the island could boast the benevolence
of an Arabella Denny.
We have been favoured by a refpeftable correspond
ent with the following extraft of a letter from Lon
don, dated September 19, 1780. " We have received
very alarming accounts, of the Irish, entering into a
non-importation agreement. when it is here under
flood that Ireland has received tie grant of every
commercial advantage, in the power of Britain to be
stow. But, it seems, we are not fully in possession of
the occasion that excites the Irish to so much murmur
and difcouteir. If it is on 'account of t, e equaliza
tion duty mentioned in the sugar bill, candour and
juflice compel me to declare, that the board of trade
here has been the fofe cause of this unhappy mifunder
fianding ; you cannot but know, that th # s fame board
is composed of the most abjed hi ellags of administra
tion, who will vote and fay whatever their paymaster
the minister directs. As to your complaint of a wound
being given to public liberty, by a perpetual Handing
army, you can only blame your own parliamentary
apo^ates: yet I am free to Acknowledge, that it car
ries w th it an horrid ide?, that yo^ fliould be loaded
with an unalterable military est ibliihment, and that
aga ; nft the voice of the people "
CR. 24. At the last commiffon a woman was con
victed of robbery, and when the judge was puffing the
dreadful sentence, she cried out, "My lord! my lord !
lam with chi d ; " Upon which the judge ordered the
Gx-riff to provide a jury cf matrons to try the truth
of her affection- .tre woman then cri'd louder tha
before, “ my lord, the gaoler knows it! the gaoler
knows it!" Iwful as her Stuatim w:.s, th' caused
a universal laugh; &nd it was m general w.!hed, as <.a
appeal to the gaoler has giro;? her a rHpt°, so ris
lordihip's humane feelings will incline him to 0 tain
her a pardon.
A correspondent remarks, that the appointment of
lord Carafe to the vicerrgebcy of this kingdom may
be considered as a circumiiance highly interehing 10
ohrtratAfmen and nianuUsurers.,This young noble-,
man is equally difiinguifted ky iris munificent spirit
