DUBLIN, (Ireland)
Dec. 21. Various conjectures have been hazard
ed concerning the birth and parentage of the cele
brated Mr. Arnold, whose dereliction of the Ame
rican cause has been magnified in its utter ruin.
Rifum teneatis !—Some have extended their effron
tery so far as to pronounce Lira an Irishman, but
to their confufion the secret has at length transpir
ed. Fort George, in the Highlands of Scotland,
had the honour of giving birth to this hero ; and
there he palled his youth, until sent for by a York
shire relation, a dealer in horses. During his resi
dence in that Ihire, he added that cunning, for
which it is proverbially noted, and a competent
knowledge of the mysteries of the turf, to the pru
dent maxims of his native diftriCt. The circum
stances of his voyage to America, are still enve
loped in mystery, though some assert that it was
strictly according to law, and in consequence of a
juridicial injunction. However, by a series of con
curring incidents, with his own application and ad
dress, he jockeyed himfelf into the confidence of
the Americans, and attained a degree of elevation,
superior to his most sanguine expectations. His
tergiverfation is generally attributed to a Scotch
Seer, whom he retained in his camp, and who in
formed him, with all the infallibility of second fight,
that the day would come, when the English would
subdue America, and swallow, millions at a meal.
The suggestions of his countryman according with
the dictates of his native prudence, determined the
conduC tof our modern Almanzor. What a pity,
must every humane reader exclaim, that the gene
rous, the unfortunate Andre, has fallen a victim, in
attending to the atti'ices of a being so contemptible.
ExtraC tof a letter from Shanraws, Scotland, Dec.
12, 1780.
" Yesterday a loud, continual, and heavy firing,
was heard off our shore ; numbers of people locked
down to know the event, when to their mortifica
tion, they saw a French frigate of force, capture a
king's schooner, and two small merchantmen, who
carried four guns each, which the immediately car
ried out of fight."
Whoever lefleds on the conduct of administra
tion, both at home and abroad, can hardly entertain
a doubt upon 3 demand of a lai d tax on this coun
try and loan duties, as well as various plans to be
adopted, to bring over the volunteer army to the
direction of prerogative, that a plan is actually
formed against the constitution. The firft attack
will commence by way of experiment, on the Liber
ty of the Press.—Hear this ye virtuous citizens and
be watchful.
Dec. 23. It was expected that Lord Carlifle
would have been here these two days past ; but a
correspondent informs us, that he is laid up at Holy
head, wrapped up in cotton, like a wax baby, and
waiting for the firft fall of the wind, which may be
termed a zephyr, that no rude gales may ruffle that
foft white curd of asses milk, which is defined to
be set up it the castle, in the glass case of majesty.
The Countess of Carlifle remains in London till
the is brought to bed, and one of her fillers accom
panies his Lordship, and is to fill her room in the
offices of Ceremony until her Ladyship's arrival.
Though Lord Carlifle is reckoned a found man,
yet he is looked upon so much in the light of prey,
that all the carrion crows of parliament have imelt
out his coming, and the town is filling every day
with the faithful guardians of the nation, who in
tend to have a pluck at him.
Jan. 11. We are credibly informed, that his
Grace the Archbishop of Dublin has taken up the
cause of the unfortune fufferers in the Weft-lndies
most warmly, and is exerting his endeavours in the
most liberal manner for their speedy relief.
Our free trade is likely to turn out to as much
advantage as the ad which entitles us to cultivate
tobacco, having now no profitable view of fending
our products or manufactures to any part of the
habitable globe, but a few of the northern domi
nions Ihe Portuguese, whose climate caufeda de
mand for light ftuffs, have confifeated the firft ad
venture of that kind which we sent them, and re
fufe, according to treaty, to receive any in future.
The Spanilh market, which was always the best, is
totally Shut up, and the French are at every market
our rivals. To be taxed in consequence of this
visionary benefit, will put us in the situation of
Othello's Scandal-monger, " make us poor indeed,
and not enrich them."
Monday the protestant dissenters addressed his
Excellency the Earl of Carlifle at the Castle, on his
acceilion to the government of this kingdom, and
were most graciously received. They were served
with wine and cakes; a circumstance omitted on
this occasion ever since the administration of the
Duke of Northumberland.
A letter from Settin, to a merchant of this city,
fays, that the Baltic 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.
