^IRELAND. Dublin, sept. 3.
THE Tol is threatened to be at
tacked by the Bnglifh and Ruffian
fleets. The English have made several
attacks' on the coast of Holland, with va
rious fuecefs. Peace between Apftria
and France is by no means probable. —
These powers, as well as Prussia, and
some other lately neutral states, are aug
menting their " dogs of war," & threat
en to let them " loose for deftrudion.”

The audacious French, who presum
ing on the difaffeaio&of our country
men, bx, dued to advance into the
country, have given a notable specimen
of their cordiality to Irishmen. Near
Cafik&r they seized a number of pea
fants, for the purpose of obliging them
to work at feme tranches which they in
tended to throw up for temporary fecun,
ty. The countrymen remonstrated ^
foil the labour intended for them,
which had not even the color of promif-;
ed reward to persuade them. The French
argument was however at least prevail,
ing—the peasants were tiedup and flog
ged until me, conft^o work.

War and Invasion.
Orders having arrived at two o'clock
this morning for the troops forming our
garrifozf to march immedi^tely ^r Dun
kirk, they are preparing to set eff; there
will only remain a final! detachment to
: guard the prisons. We are quite ignor-'
ant of the reason of this fudtien depart
ure, but it gives rife to extraordinary
conjectures refpeaing tbe movements of
tiie English.

Yesterday at noon another messenger
arrived here whole orders roust havf
been very preffiog, as by afternoon nota
soldier was left to guard the place, and
, ill the posts, even tfofeof the gatesand
prifos, were left undefended. Orders
were fept to the different garrisons to
tend off all their men immediately. The
enemy items inclined to take advantage
ofthe weakened state of tbe right wing
I of the Army of England, to rifle a ftelh
;enter prize against our coast. Onthe o
ther ; Mod, we learn that the Port of
IVieffiogen is blockaded up, and every
;thiEg seems to announce that the place
I will be bombarded by the English.
I Several corps of French and Batavian
Itroops are on their march to thecoafts of
;North Holland, wlich are threatened by
<feveral formidable fleets composed of
I English and Ruffian ships; the second
I division of Ruffian Blips of war has joined
, the firft before the port of the Te%el, the
third division is expected by the 29th or
4cth Thermidor, (i6;h or j^th August)
;bn board of that division is a corps, com
Ifaffed of fix battalions of picked infantry ;;
I it is much feared in Holland that tbe ene
my will attack rhe Texel.

derable. The French Government, QD
its part, is preparing for any event that
! may happen. The armies of the Rhine
daily become more formidable ; up

ed between the Lion, the Sieg, the Wrap

All the troops which have marched
from this city, Malines, Ghent & Mona,
have dire&ed their course towards Of
tend, Brugres, Newport,,he great sluice
of Stefans, and that of Sun. General
Bounard, who commands the Army of
England, has eftablfrfhed bis head quar
ters at Bruges.
Various letters from Ghent and other
parts of Flanders mention as a matter of
pertaioty, that the English have attacked
behind in different parts'; feme fay
that Middlefburg is briskly bombarded,
and that the Etffli have eiliWi&d
ibemfelves pn the iflind of Goree, this,
however, is certain, that a cannonnding
was beard at Ghent, for three days to
gether, and yeftef&y was heard diftindly
at 3 kUomeres frqa^ Brufels. We ha,p
not a man left to guard us here.

traordinary pfe omena preceded this 3
farming event. It was only ebferved
that' for feme day, before, the air was
extremely thick and cloudy, and that the
temperature paffed.frcral' tim~s to the
day from excessive beat to icfuppon 4 bfe
cold. The dome of a IMtore room in
the College of Boronieus fell in.—Sc?eo
teen young ,ftuden;s. who were sffembicd
in the room, , were all either killed or
wounded. Ilhe son of the Governor of
Leghorn, who was one of them, has loft
both his arms. The number of the per
foos killed, in consequence of the earth
quake, is supposed to be fifty. The
number of the wounded is mufb more
confiderabfe. A part efthe Convent of
St. Barbo, where the Pope resided, i,

Pontiff, he was then in tbe gardens of
the Sallerahi family. All the inhabitants
fled to the country, where they ertded
tents for their accommodation. A

between three and four o'cfrk next
morning itmore violent one tock p'^ce,
which renewed the general alarm E-en

Edingburg, (Scot.) June 2.
On Sunday laft,f Peter M'Crul, a boy
of about 1§ years of age, was fwimroing
in a deep pool, near the old bridge, G'aT
gow, he was seen to fok and rifa several
times, & at lift remained at tbe bottom.
John Stewart, a cabinet maker, saw
him from the edge of the watet, ran in
with his clotheson, but finding the place
very deep, he threw off his clothes, dived
tothe bottom, which was upwards of 12
, feet, and brough, out the body, which
Ive carried to abeofe in Gorbals. A me
dical gentleman, a member of the Hu
mane Society persisted in the use ofibe
means recommended by the Society for
pearly three hours, when the boy was
perfectly recovered. What renders this
circumstance more uncommon, is, that
the fame boy about fix years ago, was te
fitted to lie by the exertions of fone
members of the . Humane Society; so
that he owes hi life twice to this uleul
institution. The Society has rewarded
John Stewart, wh6 took out the body, &
iikewife the person who received him into
his house.
