*. * 'T' '" Mayor requests that the
* A Freemen at large, will meet
him at the Guild hall, on Tuefda r , the
£r& day of February next, at twelve o'
clock, on particular business.
Last Friday night, about ten o'clock, a
party of each of the two regiments in gar
rison here, marched from the city to Kil
rud)near 18 miles from this city, to take
possession of an estate, the property of Mr.
- Fitzgerald, which was by force
of arms kept from him by one Bible,
The party of the army confining ofabout
60 men attacked the Mansion house with
a fix pounder, and after a few flints they
made a large breach in the house arid
killed one of the people therein. The
party in the house fired a number ssh ts
by which they wfunded five of the army,
two of them dangerously. When they
entered the house they f und provisions
Efficient to last them fix months. The
party in the house confided of Robert Bi
ble, Charles Carthy, Dennis. Carthy,
Thomas Bowler, William Walsh, Patrick
Long, Richard Powe< ; Laurence Harney
and John Brien. The army returned on
Sunday afternoon and brought with them
the above prifor.ers whom they lodged io
the e mrity gaol.
DUBLI N, February iq.
To-morrow the House of Commons of
Ireland resume their deliberations. The
eyes of this kingdomand of Great Britain,
nay cf al! Europe are now upon them,
highly interested on the ftquel cf proceed
ings began with fueh decided spirit of li
berty and patriotism, a r to become the
theme cf m dern politics, and most in
future times form one of the most confpi
caous pages in story, if the patriotic flame
in our senate be not like that of the me
teor, whose instant brightness dazzles, yet
whole beams for want of duration has rei
ther warmth nor vigour. The monster
of usurped dominion has been stunned by
the 6rft blow succeeding strokes must put
an eternal period to its exifter.ee.
The attempt made yefterdav by Admi
nifl ration in the House of Commons, was
of fueh a nature, that while it reflexed
in the grossest manner, on the understand
ing cf that august assembly, exhibited a
feene of the Ihalloweft politics, that ever
disgraced the Councils of this or any 0-
ther country. Our Irish finar c : er with
all that specious (hew or colleded gravi
ty, which chara&erifes him, rose, to ac
quaint the House of the necessity there
was to open the Committee cf Supply, to
give operations to the Trade law^, by
originating and reviving Money bills.
Was there a Member in the House who
heard him, is there a man in the king
dom, who shall hear it, so stupid, as not
to fee through the flinfy scheme, under
pretence of commercial regulations, the
great cbje& of government, the Money- 4
bihswere to be passed, and then adieu to
the scheme of National retrenchment, the
Irish Declaratory Aft, the Bill of Rights,
the repeal cf Poyning's Lew &c. &c.
A prorogation cuts off the session. " So
much for Buckingham."
Thoras Winder, Esq; Collector of
Cork Excise, is appointed Secretary to
the Commissioners of his Majesty's Re
venue, in the room of Sackville Hamil

And the Hon. James Lyfaght, Esq;
is appointed to succeed Thohas Winder,
Esq ; in'the collection cf Cork Excise.
The merchants and traders in Belfaft
have, in their very excellent letter to our
different Members, most seasonably taken
the lead in this important business, of
furnifhing the Legislature with fueh hints
and observations, as may tend to promote
the national welfare, particularly refpe&-
' n ^ fugars,ard equalizing the duties, &c.
The several articles in the letter, will meet
peculiar attention of our fenitors, for, un
iefs the refining of our own sugars be
property secured, raw sugars cannot be
imported to advantage, consequently a
Free Trade, in this refpe&, will be but a
raine. The truly ufeful observations, in
the letter alluded to, are net local and
cerfmed, but nobly extensive, and design
ed for promoting the whole mercantile
iniereft. It is hoped our merchants and
traders in either parts, will, with the fame
accuracy aad precision, lay their fentj
tnents before cur Representatives. Those
in the metropolis, ought to be among the
foremoft in this most necessary work.
The field is large, and almost every arti
cle of commerce, with the appertaining
duties, bounties, and drawbacks, &c.
will require a suitable investigation. To
give us equal advantages with British tra
ders, our situation, circurnftances, and se
veral disadvantages, (which will appear
on a comparison) muff be duly conffler
ed —On this, the most important conse
quences may depend.
Should the public executioner proceed
on Saturday next to burn the A& passed
in the 6th of George I. declaring a right
in the British Parliament to bind Ireland
in all cases whatsoever, as voted by the
Piml'co Parliament in their late meeting
on the sth current, which it is most sin
cerely hoped he will, it is thought,
that a greater concourse of people never
affemb!cd at one time in College Green,
thin would be on that occasion, to con
vince the Representatives of people in
Parliament, and the Britifo Ministry, of
the abhorrence and deteftarton in which
ft ch an a£fomed power in the Parliament
cf England is held, and thata continuati
