By a letter from Dublin iterident

such apprehensions as to have lately em
ployed the leading Members of Oppo
sition to procure an interview at the
Castle with the Catholic Committee,
and feme other resettable friends of
Liberty.
- "At this interview somewhat like
terms,f capitulation were offered to
those 'hey ha^e io cruelly oppressed,
and who, justice they dread :—An
a gg rc g ate meeting of the Citizens of
Dublin was propufed, at which Meffis.
Grattan, Ponfonby, and Curran de
clared their intention of attending and
epfdtehtg the necetfc, of Parliamenta

and in (bort of every other grievance of

The discussions of the Na

any time since the fall of Rob

Thibaudeau. Tallien confid
ers the Republic to be in great
danger. Thibaudeau ridicules
those fears. The party of The

_COMMUNICATIO NS..
The Chronicle fctd)blers have
commenced an attack on the
patriotic Governor Gilman—-
But he has this confolatiotf, that
they do not pruife him ; as their
praise would damn him in the
estimation of every honest poli^
tician But what will they fay
to the answer of the Newhamp
fhire Legiltaturc ? Ay," there's
the rub;" they must either come
out and fay, the " spirit of the
times" is against them ; or ambi-
Dexteroufl) affect, that now
" Vox Popuii" is not " Vox det,"
but " Vox Diaboli."
-^-Th^- Nxxrih-Carolina trearv

confjhcy. At the very infant
they were anathematizing the

Envoy to England, they have
elected Judge Alhe tothe high

PURE DEMOCRACY,
In no State in the /union do
we hear more about, and about tl e
sacred and unamenable " Rights
of Man, the blessings of Liberty,
and the blils arising from L
quality, than from the Ancient'
Dominion of Virginia. An af
fiatjc philosopher would fancy!
on reading the eloquent haran
gue, of the leading men in that
State, that they enjoyed a para
dife here on earth; and lived
up to those principles of social
equality allotted to pur firft pa
. rents in the garden of Eden!
Bug,while enjoying these deli
cious ideas if he should chance
to take up a Virginia newspa
per; what must be his fur
prize, if that paper should be
the Norfolk Herald, of Nov. 21,
!795° —The effigy of a black
man would firft arrest his atten
tion, and in one paper he would
read the following advertife
ments:— -" Wanted to purchase,
two young mulatto boys, apply
to Thomas Hamilton, and Co."L
— ^ Wanted to purchase, a few
^ffegrri boys, b,*ffiaffiPfi^^ I'
—" For lale, a likely young

by Cornelius Calvert."—" A
Negro wench named Milley.—

Newton, where it is probable
(he may have gone. Thirty
Dollars reward to bring her

he made hi^ efeape, while the Indians were
drunk, in one of their Burch canoes, and for
