In (ligated by the calls of hunger, numbers
of these poor people came forth to seek for re
lief from the public, and in their way some
of them became riotous, and took by violence
from some hucksters and bakers (hops, quan
tities of bacon* bread, &c.
The Lord Mayor, Aiderman James, War
ren, and Fleming, and the two fheriffs, im
mediately came forward, attended by forms
troops from the garrison, to preserve the
peace, and by their perfualion and remon.
it rance on the impropriety of their conduct,
dispersed them.
They then divided into groupes, and beg
ged relief from all pafTengers, they met, but
we do not hear of any violence committed by
them.
The distress of these unfortunate people
certainly calls aloud for the interference of
public humanity.
' Yetferday a fubferiptiop for the fopport of
poor manufuflurers put of employ was enter
idinto by the gentlemen of rhe’ bar In the
Courts, and some hundreds collefled. "
Some other humane expedients of the
fame kind are mentioned to be in agitation

The privy' council fit again yeflerday, at

Our traders every evening of the last fort.
. night flattered themselves, that the fun had
let on the worst of their calamitous days, and
that if Abe morrow did not bring anallevia

have been miserably deceived, forfatality
seems rather to gather strength with time, and
CORK, MAY 15.
THIS day arrived in town from Lisbon,

of Colbemon, late high fheriff of rhe county
of Wexford, w.irh his lady, After and fun;
and the Rev. Dr. Wash, of this city. • From
them we learn,that on Tuefday morning, the
7th instant, they were in lat 49, 20, chaced,
taken and boarded by the Patriore of Brefl,
C apf. Plucket, a Fiench privateer of 22 guns.
They were immediately with all their lug

dared as Englilh fabjeds, prisoners of war-
It appearing by the captain’s papers, that
bath veflel and cargo (fair) were Portoguefe
propertv, Ihe was difeharged and an offer
made'to the passengers of being fee at liber
ty by paying 200 guineas ransom. This they
judged to be nothing more than a plan for
difeovering whether they had much money
with them—whereupon they produced fome
tbing less than 1001. in cash, as the sum to
tal of *hat they had, and delivered it to the
Fiench captain. After fix hours threats, and
expoftdation, finding no more was ro be ex
peded, the officers entered into a difeuffion
of the matter, and upanimoufly agreed that
the proffered sum was fcarcelyiworth their ac
ceptance, and thar it would therefore be
more generous to reftorc it as a present to its
owners, which they accordingly did, and
with it their liberty. They then prepared
an elegant b eakfaft, of which, they all. par
took, and the captain and officers made some
presents to the ladies, escorted the company
to their fbip, gave three huzzas for liberty,
and wished them a p’eafant voyage.
The above gentleman speak in the highest
terras of rhefe corsairs ; but while they ac
knowledged their thanks and gratitude for
the very kind treatment which they exper
ienced from the officers they com plain of ha
ving been robbed by the privateer’s crew to
a considerable amount.
DUBLIN, MAY 7.
In consequence of rhe failure of two emi
nent houses, in the cotton branch, and the
slackness which has for some time prevailed
in the manufacturing branches, near 5000
hands, dependent on their indultry, in thole
manufaftures, were thrown out of employ

stoppages dreadful in their consequences dai
Ay occur. The thousands consigned to famine
for want of employment fill the back ground
,of this difmai picture. Groups of these ftar
ying wretches appeared begging on Tuefday
in various parts of this metropolis, and yester
day bodies of many hundreds together came
into the city from the liberties which towards
noon caused so great an alarm, that most of
the (hops were Ihut. The magistrates how
ever, with military detachments parrolling the
streets, quieted the fears of the inhabitants,
who again opened their ihops.
The patroles of. horse continued last night
in the city, while two troops of cavalry re
mained ready to support them at the caflle ;
but happily the town was perfe&Jy quiet.
May 1 1, The still increasing power of the
Ruffian Empire, with the conquests that may
be made from the Turks if thefucceflbr of Ca
therim is equally.ambitious as the present iov
ereign, (hould justly excite the jealouly of the
rest of Europe ; yet other potentates look
calm’y on, while province is added to pro
vince, until at length they must neceflarily
unite for their com nfon fafety.—Forextent,
so large an empire never exifled in ancient
or modern times, and augmenting every year
in maritime and commercial greatness as
well as dominion ; even Prussia, that is ex
tended in territory will yet have reason to
dread the Ruffian aggrandizement, and the
other Northern Stares in time find themselves
but mere fiefs or tributaries, if not entirely
swallowed up in the vortex of its acquifi"
tions.

Gaudet complained, that theConvcn

and that the Constituted Authorities of-Paris
offered the Members no protection. He, '
therefore mewed, “ That the. Convention

there to hold their fittings in future.”
