fl Cane H^^ nSn.it fmr w^ki We,
rosy met with a very feverl^rm, w fepa
'rated thefts, and obl^e 1 rhe two r^, a<
well as mo'? ofrhe other vessels, bavin , hori%
to throw them over! oard.
The comm n report is, that there were 94
vessels, including the men of war, bound
southerly, having < n board a l^ge booy of
troops, some fay^co, under the command
of Sir Henry Clinton, or Lord Cornwal is.
The place of rendezvous, in case of separati
on, was Tybee; at least the vessels brought
in here had such orders.
Two 2 dickers and a frigate, have been
seen off this bar several times within this week
pall; and a number of heavy guns have been
frequently heard at right, and during the
hazy weather we have had, supposed to be
signals from the men of war to the scattered
vessels as they may fall in with the coast.

Nothing can mere clearly difeover the ex
hausted Hopes of the Republican Politicians,
than their late Propagation of Scraps from
French and other Papers refpeding Ireland.
Governor LNingfton has compiled them, and
written an Introduction to lead the Populace to
the Use he wishes to make of them- 4 --Three
hundred Extra-Copies are struck off at the
^blic Expence for the public Delusion---The
Comm-lariat Pai son of Elizabeth- Town, is
flying about, in the^tmoft Anxiety, for his
worldly Treasure, asserting that the Kingdom
of Ireland has declared for the Congress—But
not a Word said or printed of the late Addrefles
of the Irish Lords and Commons. Deacon
Loudon, of Fish-Kill, is founding the fame
Trumpet; and without Doubt, the Impor
tance of these Lies, like others, wilbcaufe
them to be insinuated to a credulous Multitude,
especially in the ealtern Country, in Prayers
and Sermons from the Pulpit. There are how
ever, itrong Marks of Terror in the introduc
tory Competition of the Mob Governor. The
Printer is able to give it to his Readers.
From the New-Jersey Journal, March 8.
JT is impossible not to admire the spirit which ani
mates the speakers in the Info Parliament ; fa
daringly pointed, and so ex,refine of Liberty and In
dependence. or not to wifb Ireland a Jimilar flation
among nations, as that we enjoy. And it is not now
to be doubted, but that a people so long opp^efed, and
so ardent in tbeir love of Liberty, noill use toe present
moment to recover tbeir freedom ; efyecially as they
can have from the mos powerful confederacy ever
formed againf England (as ber King expresses it)
every affiflance they may want.
We cannot but judge of the humiliated condition of
Great Britain, from the different reception of the Irijb
demands, for a free and unrestrained trade, &c. and
the bumble petitions of America. The one was treated
with a silence the mos disdainful and mortifying ; the
other with that hypocritical politeness which is afraid
to offend, while at the fame time it feromifes nothing.
Our petitions were not even read. But Mr. flood
was mos gracioufy received, and every thing ,ro
mifed to the Iri/b which mature deliberation would
warrant. This contrafl of treatment, mug Jink bis
Britannick Majefiy, if pofible, fill lower in the eyes
of all Europe ; nor is it to befu„ofed, that any power
will think it wife or politic, to involve tbeir fate
with that of a nation evidently crumbling to pieces.
We are authorifed to fay this in the following decla
ration of Lord North in the House of Commons o# toe
25th of November, 1779:---'' Ido net dei, but that
<< the conjuncture was very alarming and dan
cs gerous; a powerful confederation was formed a
«' gainfl Great-Britain, who even to this very mo
“ merit finds herlelf without allies :If this lafl cir
cs cumfance is disadvantageous, is it juj that you
“ Jhould blame the mimflers?" The fad is, that no
foreign power has judged it proper or neceftary to
espouse the cause of Great-Britain.
