bound to Savannah, with a cargo of dry goods
on board, which by the invoice is valued at be
tween 6 and 70001. sterling ; flic was taken by
the enterprizing Capt. Jenkens, and his compa
ny of Edifto militia, in a manner that Joes ho
nor to himfelf and the men under his homn^nd.
Cap. Jenkins observing a vessel landing close in
with the land, off Edifto inlet, and several others
at some distance in chafe of her, manned his
boats and went down to her protection, fuppol
ing her to be some vessel intended for forae of
our inlets ; but on his approaching her, she en
deavoured to Hand out to sea again, which at
once convinced him of his error : He therefore
plied his oars so effectually as to bring him a
longside of her in a very little time, when he 111-
ftantly boarded her and brought her off, in fight
of all his competitors.
Yesterday 50 of the enemy's horse, under the
command of Major Frazer, surrounded the
hoirfe of Mr. Ralph Izard, junior. Mr. 1% d

with this party returning with their plunder,
and took one commissioned officer, one ferjeant
and eight men prisoners, and also eleven horses.
Our party had two men supposed to be mortally
wounded, Col. Lawrence, we hear, is Hill be

A Dublin paper of April 18, has the following
articles :
On Thursday last the glorious work of the e
mancipation of Ireland has been compleated by
thefuperior powers of our patriotic orators. Mr.
Grattan, in a speech which would reflea honor
on the Cicero's and Demofthene's of thole anci
ent Hates, whose memory is Hill, and ever will
be, the admiration of riling generations, resumed
the glorious question of IRELAND's INDE
PENDENCE. Though overpowered heretofore
by superior numbers, but not by superiority of
argument, the day was carried by this celebrated
character, supported by the Yelvertons, Burghs,
Hutchinfons, Bradftreets, and other ornaments
of their country. Ireland's Independence was
asserted, andcarried without one diflenting voice.
The pillar reared by diffention and ignorance of
cur rights,for the fapport of Pnglfbpride,fas been
overturned by the Hand of union and enlightened
wifdem. The night, on whicli the patriotic o
rator, as so many stars, shone with such luftre,
was but the forerunner of a morning that usher
ed in the most glorious fight that Ireland has be
held since the day ofher (long eclipsed) splendor.
TheDelegates ofall the Corps of Linger Volunteers
marched to Guildhall, amidit the acclamations
es thousands, to deliberate on the most effectual

forms, that Admiral Rodney was called home.
.The enemy to the amount of five or fix hun
dred, have made an excursion into the upper
part of Tryon county, burnt a number of houses
betwen Fall-Hill and Fort Herkermer, drove
off a number of horses and cattle, killed one con
tinental soldier and one inhabitant; the soldier
was one of a party returning from a scout, which
fell in with the enemy's whole force, near the
fort, and with great bravery forced their way
into the fort, with the loss of one man killed.
The Assembly of the State of Georgia, as an
approbation, of the great merit and good conduit
of the gallant General Wayne, and in Confidc
ration of the signal services, which he has ren
dered that State, during his command, have ge
nerouily voted, that the sum of four thousand
guineas be appropriated in the purchasing of an
estate, for the said General Wayne, in such part
or parts of the State, as he shall appoint.

'lad were drowned.
Yerterday a flag with 11 naval prfoners, arriv
ed here from New-York. In the New-York pa
pers of Monday last, brought by the flag, there
is an account, that on the 20th of April, Admi
ral Barrington, with 11 ships of the line, off Ufh
ant, fell in with 18 transports laden with Hores,
bound from France for the Mauritius, under
convoy of two ships of the line and a frigate ;
that the Pegafe, one of the convoy of 74 guns,
was taken after a close action of three-quarters
of an hour; another ship of 74 guns armed en
flute, and i t transports were taken by different
ships of Admiral Barring,on's squadron, 10 of
which had arrived at Plymouth.
By late accounts from New-York, there is
great appearance that that post will soon be eva
cuated,---about 200© horses, a great number of
carts, waggons, harnefles', &c. Belonging to the
army, have, within ten days past, been fold at
vendue.
