From the DUBLIN EVENING POST.
The following FORM of PRAYER was
ftromgly recommended to be used On
the late PUBLIC FAST by such as
approved of in
OLORD ! who knoweft our hearts
and what is best for u% thy will be
done in all things; We know not what
to pray for as we ought;
Io ask thy blessing on our arms, our
rulers, or out selves, if engaged in ah un
just or unnecessary war, were the highest
and most daring presumption. Toexpe&
thy favour without repentance and amend
ment, would be the most dangerous de
lufiorr
As far therefore as thou feeft we are
right and fineere, grant us thy assistance
and forgivenefs, We cannot be wrongin
confeffing that all have erred and strayed
from thy ways like loft sheep: That his
Majesty has finned, and come far short of
the glory and virtue that were expected
from him : That certain ministers, ftateE
men, and mercenary majorities, placemen
and pensioners, are miserable sinners.
Touch the hearts of these, and of all
sinecure plunderers of their poor country,
with true penitence. Have mercy upon
and remove them speedily, that they may
have time for contrition, and do 110 more
mifeh^f to thy people.
May a change of men and matures soon
take place, and the virtuous efforts in both
kingdoms to be free and happy---.be
crowned with success.
Put an end to war and bloodshed, to
bribery, perjury, and corruption ; to gam
ing, luxury, and every evil work.---And
oh ! do thou lessen the number of place
men and pensioners among us, also of si
necure officers in church and state. In
crease the number offenators, lawyers, and
attornier, of fkilful, humane physicians,
of upright judges and magistrates, of free
and virtuous citizens in every part of these
kingdoms.
Save us, we humbly pray, from invasi
ons and the horrors of war ; from a land
tax, standing armies and unnecessary taxes,
or, whatever may impoverish and enclave
thy people. Support us under heavy bure
dens, and speedily remove them. R vig
our spirits, trade and manufactures ; give
bread and employment to our poor, and
may the hearts and purses of the great and
opulent be opened wide for their relief.
'May the sincerity of thy peoples pro
feffions be evidenced by newness in life,
and a resolute defence of their religious
and civil rights, Freferve us, we beseech
thee, from the designs of wicked Kings
and Ministers ; from all civil and ecclesi
astical tyranny, from bad landlords, cove
tous agents, election jobbers, and vile par
ricides.
Lon d o n, Feb. 5 ;
Government are certainly of opinion,
that Gibraltar has not been fuccoured with
out a previous brulh with the Ferrol
squadron.
Yefterda, it was reported in the city,
that government had received certain ad
vice, that the Spanish Ihips captured by
Admiral Rodney, were taken by a fleet of
French frigates and carried into Brest.
The grant of the Savoy which Lord
North received two years ago, was worth
a hundred thousand pounds to him, and
yet he declared in the House of Commons,
“ that be had not bettered his fortune one
shilling in his Majesty's service." Before
the yong Duke of Rutland came of age,
this bribe was offered to him, through the
medium of Lord Mansfield, in a thousand
.different flriapes. That spirited young
Nobleman rejected them with contempt."
The protestant inhabitants of Rochester,
Chatham and Strond have formed them
selves into an association for the repeal of
the aft lately passed in favour of popery
in England ; and unanimously agreed to
petition Parliament, and to inftruft their
representatives to support their petition.

city of Rochefler, is elected Chairman cf

At the PRINTING-OFFICE
Grant us freedom of commerce to the
uttermost parts of the earth ; may all sla
vish laws and restraints be banished for
ever from us.
We recommend to thy care all uninflu
enced, Independent Volunteers, who, if
tried, would refoldtely defend their coun
try, and maintain her constitutional rights 5
increase their number, and may they be
terrors to all our enemies, foreign and do
mestic. 10 this end, do thou drive from
among them all time servers, mean depen
dents, with falfe or timid hearts. May they
in the day of danger, play the men for the
people, and the fair cities of our Jerusalem 1
Grant true repentance to all ranks and
denominations of men among us % May
they live and love li^e brethren ; and may
all governors become the ministers of Hea
ven to us, for good. May his Excellen
cy promote public spirited measures only,
and continue to represent our wants and
wishes faithfully.
May spiritual wickednesses in high pto
ces, be no longer seen in Ireland : Ma,
pride, bigotry, and avarice be banished
from the clergy of every church ; and may
such a reformation now be effected, as
shall obtain for us the blessings of peace
and freedom, under thy divine guardian-
Ihip. A M E N.'
