From DUBLIN, June 12.
“ Great efforts are making to fuppreis the
French principles of LibeitV and equality —
and rhe buGnef* is nea ly effcded. There are
thirty.eight thousand militia railing to quell
any propogatioh of thole principles. The re
gular regiments are allo recruiting—each troop
of Light-horse, is to c jniift of 76 nriva es, 4.
iargeants, and 6 corporals, each troop. Bad
proceedings are made against the country peo
ple, as they o^pofe the railing ot the miihia—
the army is in continual motion to quell them,
and the jails a"e full of pnfoners.”
From GIBRALTER, Aug. i.
On Sunday evening arrived here, the ship
George, of Borton, Silas Daggett, m-fter, from
Gib alter, who iofortps :
That the British fleet under Lord Hood,
which went into the Mediterranean, at the
date of the last accounts, were off Barcelona ;
and that a jungian with the Spanilh fleet had
not been effected, the latter having gone into
Carthageoa, occasioned by the Gcknefs of the
crews :
That it was reposed at Gibraltar, that it
was the intention of the fleets, when combined,
to have gone against Toulon ; but that the
molt thinking people suppose the Englilh will
have more prudence,than to attempt it : That
a number of prizes were felling in 'Gibraltar,
tnoftiy Spanish veffete, taken by the French,
and retaken by the English :
That the ship General Washington, a
French privateer, had been sent in there :
That the inhabitan s of Gibraltar exoeded
daily to hear that the Eriglilb had declared war
againit America, for {applying the French
with provisions, although they seem to wilh
the contrary :
And that the Spaniards e£ep*l a very severe
a tack from the French after the northern ar
taies had retired to winter quarters.
We are authorised to fay, that the two feboo
ners, lately captured,bv he Roland, said 10 be
a French priva eer, ire to be delivered up to
their Oiiginal owners, ,by order of the Supreme
Executive of the United States.
Capt. De wnd, arrived at New London,from
the Savannah, learnt there, that 5000 troops,
with a number of (hips of war, had failed, on
an expedition against the French part of Si,
Domingo.
It is with pleafpre we learn, by letters re
reived by tbp left Maile, that the Hon. Mr.
Hamilton, was in a Hate of convalescence.
The Fxisident of the United States has
left Philadelphia, Oft a vific to his feat at Mount
Vernon.
Thursday afternoon, in order to view the situa
tion of the place ; he fays he rode past four or
five of the burying grounds : he saw as well as
he could .count them, by dancing on his car
riage as many, as fixiy grave* open to receive the
dead that evening—he supposes, by the bed
information, that Potter*!-Field and *the other
burying grounds, would receive as many more
—While riding a square and a half he saw a.
bout ten or twelve corpse carried by negroe* ;
tome tew people walking after two ot them —
They bury cnem ad in tire evening or early in
the morning, and then by negroes.
He further advises persons belonging to this
ci y not t> go to Philadelphia at prelent, the
conference would be this, if they were taken
sick they would be turned or carried cut of jhtir
lodging, no money would save them, or pro
cure a nurse except it was a ntgro. 4
The Hage boats were forbid to carry any per
. Cons from Philadelphia ; the office's of the
Cjitom-Houfe would not admit any perlon in
to the office, and receive all papers through the
windows ; the vefleis vyere not allowed to go
above market rtreet to unload ; the stores were
nearly one half shut up, and a great numoer of
those open, were left with only a single person
to take care of the property ; the bank was ex
pe&ed to be closed this cUy, as little or no bu
siness is done in it at prelect.
danbury, stPT. 9. With heart-felt gra
titude and humble acknowledgements to ihe
Grbat Giver of all good things, and with
the .warmest congratulations to our brethren in
‘he Farming interest ; we announce the present
season to be the moil promifiog for bbuntiful
crops that has bet-n known for many years:
Nor is the profped of large crops and a plenti
ful supply of provisions the only blessing for
which we a e indebted to a kind Providence:
While the greatest part of Europe and iheWeft-
Ind^e^,area feene of blood filed and defoladon,
we have peace in ad our borders, every man
Fetttng under his own vine and fig tree, there
being none to make him afraid. What a hap
py land I—Even the calamities in other parts of
the world, proving an advantage to the farmers
cf this country, by ensuring a market for their
overplus provisions: But let us not on account
of so trifling an advantage be tempted to with
for a continuation of War and carnage in any
part of the world ; let us rather hope soon to fee
that day, when pace fhaH extend her happy in
fluence over the whole globe, and nations Ihall
make war upon each other no more.
CONNECTICUT.
The opinions of great men, fays a corrcfpon
dent, upon the fuability, or political propriety
of suing the Sovereign, are certainly very dis.
ferent. But th? late King of Prussia, Frederick
the great, in the celebrated case of-the miller,
Arnold, diftated the decree for te-inftating
him in his rights, which was inferred, by his
command in ail the Gbzettes-and newlpapets :
In thisdecreb, we find these remarkable words,
“ 1 he ioweft peasant, nay bven a begger, is as
well a man as his Majesty, and has an equal
claim to justice. BTore her all perfunol dif
tinflion must disappear. A Prince may sue a
Peasant or a boor a Prince ; rhe one is neither
worse por better than the other ” These are
the just observations of a despotic Prince ; but
he was a philolopher—and why rhe nature of
them (hould be changed when applied to a free
government, is difficult 10 understand. In the
presence of Justice, all [optical, as well as pet-
Goal diftintfions ought todifappear. The ci.
tizen ought to receive the fame mea r ur? of jus
tice, whether the injury proceeds from the otaiei
his Sovereign, or an individual.
INFECTION IN PHIL ADELPHIA.
Tne tetters e&papers from the louthward are
filled with the moll diftrefliog accounts cf the
mortality of the malignant infedion on which
has lately severely feourged the city of Philadel
phia. The particulars thereof are (hacking to
humanity j and if we may judge from the ru
gourous, precautions taking by the gevern
menl and citizens of the States adjoining to
Pennsylvania, to prevent its intittdodion, there
in, they are not greatly exaggerated. From
letters received from thence, we have extract
ed the following particulars
SEPTEMBER, 9.
*' I steal a moment to iofo.m you oi the
dreadlul fitustion ot this city—visited by a diG
order very lit.le different from the plague : Soon
after is appearance here, there was a confuta
tion among the facultyhen a Dr. Rcss who
Sad lived th Conftantinopje at a time when
that ciforder swept eff more than an hundred
thousand perlons, 1 gave it as hit opinion, thrt it
would be proper to adopt measures similar to
thpfe adopted in European countries on fdeh
occasions, viz. That every body who could,
Ihould quit the city—that the houses where the
infection was, fliould be marked—that all bo*
fineis Ihould be fufpenhed—that aS little con
nection aS poflible mould be had with the sick
— that the dead Ihould be buried at night, or
as privately as pjffible, &c. Vcu may, perhaps,
have feeti how far rhis opinion was adopted—
the marking of the houlei has been omitted—
but neceflity has com peled to Bury the dead in
carriages; and 1 effort you ihey bury from
morning till night, and frequently in the might.

. The Committee appointed to take into con
federation the communication of the Governor
at the opening of the session, have reported,
that it is not expedient that’a State fhuuld be
fueable, and that the Senators of this Com.
monweaith, in Congress, be inflrufted ; and
that it be recommended to the Representatives
thereof, to endeavour to cfFeft an amendment
in the Confutation touching the promises; and
asked leave to fit again.

Extract of a httfrjrom London,dated July 1793,
io a gentleman tn tots city.
IN such eftcem is Charlei Fox held for his
patriotic services, that the most generoua
subscription eve/ made for any man,took place
on last week at the London’ Tavern, in order
to relieve him in his present embarrassed ftarc
of finances, and, at the fame time, the greatest.
delicacy used, that he might not be hurt in
his feelings on the occasion. Some fubteribed
3 000 J, and no mao Jess than iool. by which
ms debts’ were honorably discharged —An
annuity of 3,000!. per annum purchafcd lor
him and a ptefent made to him of 20,000:.
to begin the world anew. A clear pj^of, tha:
no nation is so generous in rewarding true vir
tue as tie Bntifh nation.”
Nantucket, sept. 7. Ycftcrday arrived
here the Ihip , Capt. Benjamin Coleman,
from Dunkirk, which place he left July gth—

French lady. The day before he left Dunkirk
there were great leioicieg, firing cannon, dan
cing Carmagnole, and tinging Ca Ira to the
New Confbtution, just adopted—Dunkirk
Itrcngly fortified—provifions plenty—people in
high ipiriti —no talk of peace—Liberty, Equal

BOSTON, SEPT. 21.
“ The city is now in a thinner depopulat
ed—and moll every pe.fon whu could quit it,
is gone.—l Ihould judge by appearance: that
full one half of the people are gone ; business
is in a great degree itagnaied—and I suppose
from this day ihe public offices will not be
opened — I went to be Treufury-.Offices this
day, and found all delerted, except by one or
t*o of the clerics, who informed me they were
Oh the wing.
“ Mr. Hamilton was taken with this terri
ble dilorder fait Saturday night his attack
was extremely violent—a vomiting which con
linued so long and so forcible, as aimoft to de
prive him oHife before it could &c flopped.—
He is about five miles out of town ; but I have
heard from him once or twice every day - ■ ■
This afternoon, at about 3 o’clock, I heard that
hisfymptems were highly alarming ; and I fhail
not be surprised to hear of,his death by to mor*
row. He caught the dilorder br goir-j into a
house on buhnefs. where there was a person
lick with it, which circumitance he was igno
rant of.
On Wednesday lull a veflel arrived at Mar.
bithead, from Bilbao, the. Captain of whicl)
fays, that, previous to his failing a vcffcl had
arrived (herb, with the intelligence, that a
battle had been fought in the province of Na.

which the latter was totally defeated—their
loss 600 men.

Secretary was much better last evening ; exptCt
to hear (hortly how he waa this morning.
“ Ten o' Clock—l have just heard that the
Secretary continues better. 1 hope therefore
that he will be Qared.”
Dr. Ru(h has publilhed in the Philadelphia
papers, that afer several unfuccefsiu! attempts
{o prescribe a 'emedy for the infcClious disease
now therei he had found, that large dotes of
Mercury, combined with jalap, had been at
tended with •• wonderful efficacy.” And con
cludes by laying, that “ I have had so many
unequivocal proofs of the (uccefs of the (hort
Ample mode which I haure adopted, of treating
this disorder, that l am nowfatisfied, that un

power of medicine, with as much certainty as
a common intermitting fever.”
In the proceedings of the town of Charles
ton in Maryland, to prevent the fpie^d ot the
infeftious disorder from Philadelphia,!! is said,
“ that the said disorder had extended itfeif from
Philadelphia, to Irenton, Princeton, Woodbridge
and Elizdbetbtonvn, on the poit-road to New-
York.
“ You fee by the foregoing, that though
Dr. RoSs’s opinion was not explicitly adopted,
it has been really pra^lifed upon in part—and
if it had been in refpeft to designating infeded

‘‘Buchan in his description of the worst
kind of putrid fevers, gives a pretty accurate
account cf the disorder now here—though in
most cases it is attended with additional cicum
ftances of horror : 1 have made diligent enqui
ry, and find in almcft every cale, the perlons
who have died, have caught the dilorder from

best account I could collect this day, yesterday
there were nearly fifty buried.
