bt work to get him, if even he should have retired
to Nice, 'they have rcfolvccl not to bleak up for
the vacation, in order to attend lolcly to that affair,
and prosecute it with vigour. The President d'E—
is but 20; he lived publickly with a <'idow, whom
he wished to marry. This is the sole reason that
induced him to commit the horrid deed.
flirty 12. Mr. Fox's famous negociataon with
Roiha, to form an alliance against France, being at
a full hen uncn his difmiffion flora the Secretary
ship ; the pi^fent cabinet took up the buhnels, ana
attempted to car^v it on by a memorial, which was
received in ip cold a manner, and ahlwered with
inch delays, that cur Minifler at Pctcifburg was
udhu&ed to fathom, if pofhblc, the designs of the
Empress's Minikers, and especially the intrigues
foppofed to be carrying on by France. The event
of this order is unknown, but they certainly made
tlfe following proportions.
I. Russia, in case of a war breaking out between
England and France, to supply the former with
6^ooo land forces, to be transported at the expence
of England, and landed in France, and joined with
no lels than 40.000 Englilh troops. Russia also to
affiß England with fifteen fail 6f the line, ^nd ten
frigates. .
11. England, in case of war between Russia and
art other power, to FfiiE Russia, at the expence
of England, with thirty faiFofthe line, and fifteen
frigates; and 20.000 landforces, if the war should
be on the coak of the Mediterranean lea.
Ilf. England to pay Russia a,conitant fobfidy of
50,000!. and of 1,000,0001. during the Ruffian lup
ply as above.
Russia did not quite rejcH this treaty, which fh'fc
had hcrfclf in a good measure formed. But as
France was a bidding at the fame time high, and
threatening an alliance wi h the Emperor against
Rufha, perplexities aiofe, which flopped the ne
gociation. Our Cabinet became divided in opi
nion, and difficulties multiplying, the opinion is,
that France has gained the afeendant in the buh
nefs.
It is reported that the Persians have made then-
Elves mailer of Baffaro and Bagdad, ^nl that tht y
have laid waflc Ff: note erivhohs. This will render
tire passage to India by land extremely dangerous.
The Cartain Pacha (High Admiral) has failed from
Constantinople, with a squadron of 1I Blips of
war, 3 gallies, and some xebecs, on an expedition
cf importance. Many other velfels were under
orders, and preparing to fo^ow him'.
A cabinet council fat last night at the treasury,
which d ; d not break up till past 12 o'Clock. The
fubjeF o' their deliberations is supposed to have
been occasioned by the late very alarming advices
from Ireland, where matters are in so critical a
Bate, that it is said the Lord Lieutenant has applic 1
very warmly for his recall, in a letter addressed di
reflly to the King. This morning also another mes
senger, being the third lince Thursday last, arrived
at St. James, 's from the fame quarter with dispatches,
reported to be of great importance.
DUB L I N, July 11.
However the hacks of government may decry
tar and feathers, as they think a jacket of such
transatlantic materials would be a dress too warm
for their delicate nerves in summer; all persons
must acknowledge, that this inftitutiotr; which ori
ginated in America, and proved so serviceable to
that country, was the mod beneficial article of com
merce yet imported into this kingdom.
fody 24. We are assured that an express arrived
last night at the Castle, with a confirmation of Earl
Temple being appointed in the room of the Duke
of Rutland; that he has full powers to fettle the
commercial concerns of this country, agreeable to
the wishes of the people, but by all means to op
pose a parliamentary reform.
C O R K, Auguft6.
, The rancour and malice which the American
Loyalists fettled at Port Rofeway, in Nova Scotia^
have invariably shewn their brethren since the eva
cuation of New-York, is not confined to Ameri
cans only, but to all people who have befriended
the late revolution, or the cause of freedom. These
fugitives, from the happiest and freeft country on
the globe, will not allow either American, French,
Dutch or Spanish Drips to unload at Shelburne,
their newly ere&ed town; and their hatred and de
testation of the Irish, was lately shewn in the in
stance of ill-treatment of the ship Irish Volunteer,
from Cork, Captain Stack, who arrived lad week,
after a fbort passage. This vessel touched at Port
Rofeway, alias Shelburne, on her way from Hali
fax; and having an Irish Volunteer painted on her
hern, and bearing a name so hateful to English
tyrants, fire was forcibly entered by these Loyal
Anglo-Americans, and the figure was tarred and
feathered in usual form, to the no small difeomfi
ture of the crew, who threw out the bitterest im
precations, and threatened severe retaliation on
any yeffel belonging to Poit Rofeway, who may
hereafter enter the Cove of Cork.
