, i is would b^ ex%mely injurious to the futbrefts
of France, and would entirely destroy the political
equilibrium, by the increase of strength which it would
give to Russia and the house of Austria.—These vari
ous considerations have made all the neutral parties
earnefliy with that this trippie mediation may not be
unfuccefsful on a matter w rich concerns all Europe;
nevertheless all the letters from the Levant are filled
with relations of the im'menfe preparations which are
now making in Turkey for putting themselves in a state
of defence both by land and sea.
Our readers may red assured of the facl, that matters
are so far adjured with the Dutch, that the comte de
Welderen is expend in town in the course of next week,
to refuse his character of ambassador from the United
States, and to put the final hand to the negociation now
pending between the two countries.
Some letters from Vienna, which arrived here yeder
day, ment on, that there had been already a skirmish
on the frontiers of Hungary, between a detachment of
Turks and some German horse.
Every power in Europe appears anxious to partici
pate in the American trade, and treaties of commerce
are fettled with mft of them, whilst Mr. Hartley
the English negociator, meets with the moG unex
pected difficulties, though thb terms proposed are
equally advantageous to America, as to Great-
Britain : however, the las letters from France men
tion, that the business is so far brought to a con
elusion, that Mr. Hartley talk^ of leaving Paris very
Shortly.
DUBLI N, May 22.
We hear from good authority, from a gentleman at
Philadelphia, and in the confidence of Congress, that
the American ports are open for the reception of Irish
manufaaures.
Another public defalcation has come to light: the
clerk to the codeßor of Excise has thought proper to

The encouragement given to the murder of bastard

May 17. The review yesterday in the Phoenix Park
was the moll splendid that ever graced a body of Irish
volunteers. The troops moflly muGered about half past
seven tn the morning ^t their different parades; by nine
the lines of infantry were fully compleafed in Stephen's
g reen; the cavalry were drawn up in Dawson-street
and lead to the Park, and were followed by the bri
gades of infantry with their trains of artillery. The
line of march was through Dawson, Nassau and Graf
ton-streets, College green, Darrie Greet, over Effex
bridge, and along the quays to the Park.
The manoeuvres of the review fv^re closed by a gene
ral feude-joye, and the whole body marched off the
ground and arrived in town about fix o'clock.
There were reviewed in all, it troops of horse, 25
corps of foot, and 6 artillery companies, with 12 field
pieces.

Yesterday arrived the Gig sloop, which left Fort
Rofeway lift Sunday; the new settlers were uling all
possible diligence in raising and covering their houses
against the winter. Governor Parr had visited the place,
and, after making the necessary arrangements, re
turned to Halifax, his excellency's feat of government.
On Thursday last, as Mr. Solomon Davis, (formerly
A commander of a vessel in the London trade) was re
turning in his waggon from this city to his residence
at Satauket, on Long-Ill,nd, he was intercepted by
two men, who firing their pistols, or fufils, (hot him
dead on the spot. He was not robbed, as we are in
formed that hi# watch, with eight guineas, were found
in his pocket.
Philadelphia, August 7.
On the loth ult. the house of representatives of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts ordered, thatall per
lons in that Rate who have been wounded at any
period during the late war, and who are entitled to a
•pension from the government as a compensation there
for, be direHed to report themselves, and make
known their circurn stances to the faveral persons in the
laid resolution named, who are to report to the house
on the fecopd Wednesday of the next session of the ge
neral court.
It is remarkable, that of 350 paffertgers lately ar
rived here in the Clip Irish Volunteer, from Larne,
there were not any sick, although the voyage was per
formed in the hoteft season of the year. Perhaps no
one ever arrived here with a better character, for at
tention to his people, than captain Dillon. The uni
versal consent of the passengers pronounce him just,
generous, humane, and indulgent.
Four of the dates have invited Congress to make
them the place of their future residence. That ho
norable body has been offered by New-York the town
of Efopus—by NewJerfey, a trad of land in any part
of the Gate, with money to ere& necessary buildings—
b, Maryland, the city of Annapolis—and by Virgi
nia, the city of Williamsburg—with local jurifdidion
in eacli of laid places.
By accounts from Britain we learn, that there has
been a great scarcity of provisions in that kingdom,
owing to the failure of crops Last year ; and that had it
not been for a supply from abroad, many people would
have perilled for want of the necessaries of life. This.,
we are informed, was one of the causes that hastened the
conclusion of the treaty of peace.
We also learn, that the inhabitants of the isles of Bri
tain and Ireland, are panting earoeftly after the milk
and honey of this promised land, and that nothing but
the want of means prevrots them from emigrating in
tens of thoulands.
Many of the refugees who have fettled at Port-Rofe

nilans so edme fd that pl^ m ^hfeffiice" of which',
a number of those outcaGs are projecting settlements at
Albaco, one of the Bahama islands.
A number of houses in New-York being now empty,
many of the former owners have applied for leave to
repolfefs them, but have, in general, been refufed.
