Last week there were failures in Dublin is the a
mount of above two hundred thousand pounds A
great Quaker bo^fe has Pepped for ei/cy rheu'a^d;
a general bankruptcy prevails there,all rank of peo
ple pirtake of the ddtrefs; the manufa4urers are ru
ined; the FARCE of enlarging their trade they con
fder as an infolt offered their ur.derftar<d*ng; the re
fentaent of the populace is every day itcreafing,
and threa'ers derru4 on to a l ] the En-lTn goods
they find lodged in the importers warekoufer.
A correfpon fcru fays, he Ihould not be forprized
to fee a General Con refs defied by rhe Irish, to re
dress their grievances, provided a ieceffary abidance,
encouragement and fopport is denied them by Mi
nisters on this fide the water.
Yefterday,as his Majesty was returning from the
Parliament House, he was most %rcfy infaked by a
genteel and well drafted foreigner telling him he Was
the word of murderers, for wkicb he was immediate
ly taken into cuflody, car; led before Justice Jordon,
;nd c ommirted a close prisoner to Tothil fields Bride
well for further examination. In the way from the
Jufti/ e's hcufeto the prison, he often lifted up his
hand' and eyes to Heaven, most fervently beseeching
the Almighty, as a Granger to this country, not to
forfake him.
The man who has the whole of the p-efent im
rr.encc contrast for provision and forage, which will
amount to war half a million per annum, is the son of
a rebel L r rd who was executed in the year 1746.
JUN£ 6. Captain Sinton Lw at Cadiz, twenty
cue Lil of Spanish mex of war of the line, ready to
put to sea and lying at Angle anchor.
The crew of the Terrible man of war, Sir
Richard Bickerton, Commander, have got the jail
distemper to such a height, and the ship is so infefyd,
that flie is ordered to be funk, and every possible pre
edition taken that it is not communicated by the
men.
A correspondent thinks General Burgoyne is to be
pitied, for not being allowed dire&ly to juftify his
condu& in a proper manner; but he is flill more to
be pitied, as well as other commanders, for having
engaged in such an unnatural and unprofperous war.
June 12 The Hanoverians to be taken into our
service are to be sent to Ireland and Minorca
It is a Fact, that before Parliament was up; the
Miniflers received an authentic copy of the resoluti
ons of the Congress against the Conciliatory Bills.
Though they thus knew, authentically, that the com
missioners could do nothing, yet they resolved to get
Parliament up as soon a possible, that they might
take their ease in the country, when they ought, up
on rccjv ng this important information, to have
fem, w th the concurrence of Parliament, fresh
infri clivus to the Commffioners.
It is also a fa 4, that Dr. Franklin has sent a for
mal, official letter to the states of Holland, contain
ing proposals relative to certain branches of the A
merican trade. The States are deliberating upon it.
There can be no doubt, Dr. Franklin knew his
ground, before he sent his letter. And are we to
remain indifferent, while our formal great source of
wealth andflrength,is thus parcelled out to the differ
ent nations in Europe?
The Congress are not unacquainted with the de
signs of government, to burn all their towns on the
sea coatis when they find them no longer tenable to
the Crown of Great Britain. 'Tis to prevent this,
b'Eßaing is gone to America, to a& in conjunction
with the American ships of war.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Jure 9.
' They write from Peterfburgh, that the Ruffian
troops are going to evacuate Crimea, and that their
- cavalry is already recalled from thence.
'' Letters from Copenhagen advise, that the King
has granted leave to ere& a Company with exclusive
privileges to trade to the Weft Indies ; and that he
has likewise established an Insurance Company for
merchandize and other effe&s."
Orders are given for a detachment of the Royal
regiment of artillery to be in readiness to embark for
the islands of Guernsey andjerfey with an additional
train of artillery, for the better defence of the said
islands.
We are informed, that the Hon. Lieutenant Colo
nel Leftte, who was named to be Colonel of the
Clafgow regiment of royal volunteers, has refufed to
accept the fame.
June 17, A pension is ordered, on the motion of
Lord Sandwich, to the widows and children of the
three officers who were lately killed on the impress
service.
June 18, On Saturday fc'ni^t the number of
poc- minuE4urers and their children, fed by the

ports, which have b:ei so repeatedly found dei.i
tuie of all truth.
