The Dublin Evening-Post by yesterday's mail
mentions, that the Irish have demanded in their mi
litary councils, total independence. The re
port cannot be credited, because our Irish corre
spondents jocosely mention, that the Ide of Dogs,
the Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jcrfey, Alderney, and
the Isle of Wight, have demanded and infilled upon
the fame terms.
Admiral Campbell is expe&ed to return from
Newfoundland about the end of 'the month, in the

ceeds to the command in America, will fail Ihortly

The policy of France, in strengthening her inte
rest by the acquisition of new alliances, reflects the
highest honour on the Cabinet of Versailles; and,
added to the extraordinary attention which the French
have lately paid to commerce and their marine, it
furnifhes a profpe& of national grandure, adequate
to the wishes of any Prince, whole happiness results
from the prosperity of his people.

A letter from Newfoundland fays, that if the trade
is not better regulated, the Americans will run away
with the greatest part of it, particularly to Spain

Oct. §. The regiments under orders for Ireland
zre thole which were taken from that kingdom in
the course of the war, ami added to what are now
there, will not nearly complete the peace edablifh
ment of that country. Ireland has always a lets
force in war than in peace. There ought to be there
sixteen thousand borfe, dragoons, invalids and march
ing regiments, as their Parliament provides biennially
for that number. The usual orders for fending the
regiments home that war had drawn away, gave rile
to that idle report of government fending out forces
to stop the rebellion, and a warlike story never loses
any thing by carrying ; there were twelve tail of line
added, but what they were to do was kept a pro
found fccret.

The publisher flatters himfelf that the
above conditions will appear so reasonable
in point of price, and so necessary in point
of precaution, that they will meet with uni
versal approbation—and that he will have
the fullelt encouragement from his fellow
citizens in carrying on this ufeful under
taking. He is of opinion, that this me
thod of publication will fix the New-Jer
sey Gazette on a basis that will be per
manent ; and is convinced, that this only
will enable him to devote to it a portion
of his time and attention adequate to the
importance of the objed.
Gentlemen, to whom it may be conve
nient, will much oblige the publisher, by
forming packets in the several counties as
expeditiouflv as may be.
