LONDON, July 16.
THE spirit of Emigration from Ireland is as
great as ever. The St. Patrick and Faith
ful Steward failed last week from Londonderry
with one thousand passengers, most of them Re
demptioners, or white Slaves ! The Three Brothers
also failed from Bclfaft a few days ago with three
hundred Passengers.,•
ME Caffini, the French Mathematician, having
presented a Memorial by the French Ambassador,
in London, praying that some person would under
take to carry Iriangles from Greenwich to Dover,
to meet the French at Calais, in order to determine
the exaft distance between tlie observatories of
Paris and Greenwich, his Majesty (who is ever
ready to patrorrze ufeful. schemes) immediately
granted a thousand pounds , for the carrying it oh,
and General Roy was, by his own Consent, fixed
upon for the undertaking.
A Cabinet Council fat on Monday night at the
Treasury, which did not break up till past twelve
6 clock. Ihe fubje& of their deliberations is sup
posed to have been occasioned by the late very
alarming advices from Ireland, where matters arc
in so critical a Bate, that, it is said,. the Lord Lieu
tenant has applied very warmly for his recal, in a
letter addressed dire&ly to the King. Yesterday
morning also, another meffengcr, being the third
since Thursday last, arrived at St. James's from the
fame quarter, witli dispatches, reported to be of
great importance.
, 3 ul y 2 3- The partizans of Mr. Pitt talk of little
eile, at the present moment, but the high fun of
blocking up the Irish ports; a measure, they fay,
determined upon in the cabinet: if so, we shall
soon be able to decide upon the genius of the pre
sent administration, for the rife and conduct of a
civil was!
Tarring and feathering is become so much the
rage, in Ireland, that the Lord Lieutenant himfelf
is said to have expressed, in his last dispatches, great
apprehensions, left he should be compelled to wear
the new fashionable uniform before he takes his
leave of the country!
The rapid change of sentiment which has taken
place, with refpe& to Mr. Pitt, .in the county of
York, presents a favorable omen, that the people
are returning to their senses again, and that the
true character of their former favorite, begins now
to be pretty well understood. He has been burnt
in Effigy, in the city of York, and his name and
administration treated with every mark of the most
indignant contempt and ridicule.. It must be re
membered, that the temporary paroxifm, in favor
of this young man, was more strong in this great
and rcfpe&able county, than in.any other part of
the country. If therefore, they have seen fuffici
cnt cause to withdraw their partiality, within so
short an interval, there is good reason to believe,
that the less prejudiced part of the community
will speedily follow their example, and unite in
the reprobation of a man, who in the space of
nine months, has gone deeper lengths in invading
the constitution, and has imposed heavier burdens
upon the poof.fubje&, than, any minister ever did,
in the course of the longed administration, ever
recorded in this country.
Mr. Pitt lias already relinquished almost thehalf
of his taxes, and has so modified and altered the
remainder, from the suggestion of impartial ftatefr
men, on Mr. Fox's fide of the house, that they
bear no fort of refcmblance to the original form in
which they were firft presented to the public. It
is not in the nature of things, to convey a Wronger
proof of incapacity, and utter incompetency for
she office he fills, than is involved in this' simple
fi &..
The conduct of the Premier, id infinuatihg a
want of personal veracity in Mr. Fox, merelv be
cause he misconceived a trifling sass refpefti'ng &
department in which he was not immediately con- ;
cerned, is perfectly on a level with that general
tenor of candor and liberality for which this un
hackneyed youth is so much diffinguifhed.
Nothing can be'more confident than Mr. Pitt's
conduct during the whole of this session, with his'
declarations when he firft came into office. He
then affirmed, that his utmost hope, in accepting
his employment, was to prevent mifehief, without
being so sanguine as to expe&to do any good. And
whoever considers thp great candor with which
his India bill has been altered, so as to suit the
fancy of the Directors; the little knowledge with
