October 9. From the appearance of the Bate of
politics in Ireland, a revolution must certainly be
not lo far distant. An anxiety for the fate of a na
tion in a predicament, from Which we have, by
the blessing of Heaven, been emancipated, will be
entertained in every breast not callous to the im
pressions of liberty; and not to wifli them success
would be entertaining a suspicion of that holy flame
Which once shone so bright in the annals of the
late revolution. They have learned the lessors
from Americans, and they arc pursuing, fiep by 1
step, the fame courfc. Analogous i^ the cftabliflr
incnt of the volunteer associations with the Ameri
can minute men. Committees of correfpondcr.ee,
&c. are cuofen, arid the non-nnpdrtation agree
ment has lately been adopted. Prosecutions, on
the part of the crown, against the patriots, have
been frequent; and have met with the fame un
daunted firmnefs, which they met with here, arid
the far famed method oftarring and fcathering-now
reigns triumphant in Dublin and other places ; and
to complete the example, a delegation for a grand
National Congress had been chosen; when our lad
accounts came away.
We have an account from Milton, that a young
man, named benno, lately died there of an inter
nal fwelhng. After his death, a wen was extrac

and an half.

N E W-HAVE N, Sept. 23.
Tire following interefling affair happened at
Fairfield, last week : A gentleman, who had fre
quently pra&ifed matrimonial discipline, and had
made his wife a proselyte to the do&rine of non
refinance, and pafac obedience, was lately waited
upon by a cohort of her sex, who, having prepared
his back for the purpose intended, by removing
every obdru&ion, made him run the gauntlet, be
tween two lines of female heroines, who weragegu
iarly drawn up for that purpose.
N EW- YOR K, 02. 21.
Mr. Printer,
Please to infat the following !
A S we have lately had, and are likely to Con
tinue to have, many returning among us,
whom this country have by repeated resolves, de
clared as traitors and enemies to the independence
bf these states ; and as no evidence can be more de
cisive than their own declarations, the following
Address of the Loyalists, presented to Sir Guy
Carleton, in March 1783, is offered for the peru
sal of all real friends to the lading happiness and
wellfare of America.
" That their hearts dill glow with loyalty to
their sovereign, arid the fame enthusiastic attach
ment to the British constitution which firft Simu
lated them to action ; and nothing can ever wyan
their affe&ions from that government, under which
they formerly enjoyed so much happiness.
" That their detestation of that republican system
which the leaders of the rebellion are aiming to
^ftablifh, the fatal effects of which are already felt,
is unconquerable.
" That whatever stipulations may be made at a
peace, for the restoration of the property of the
loyalifls, and permission for them to return home;
yet should the American Provinces be fevered from
the British empire, it would be utterly impossible
for them ever to be reconciled."
Quere. Whether it is not impolitic, or even dan
gerous, to admit a set of men, whole avowed prin
ciples are " a detestation to our republican system;
whose affe&ions caw at ever be weaned from the
British government," and who declare these men,
whom we call patriots, as " leaders of a rebellion,"
and protest their averhon to the system of indepen
dence, which the Americans, by their blood, have
been "aiming to establish, is unconquerable ?" What
words can more forcibly convey every sentiment of
enmity to our present established forms of govern
ment ?
They declare "the parties ran never be recon
ciled." Shall we receive such a set of men amongst
us, whole irreconcilable hatred is thus openlv, and
so recently (March 14, 1783) avowed ? Beware
then, my countrymen, of warming snakes in your
bosoms!
NEW-BRUNSWICK, o^. 19.
The citizen's of New-Brunswick would with to
inform a certain Mr. Brasher, a noted refugee, who
at present is lurking and (bulking about the town
and its vicinity, that his presence is disgusting, and
therefore requefthis immediate departure. Ajecend
requisition perhaps will not be so agreeable.
C H ARLES T O N;
NOVEMBER 29, 1784.
From the VERMONT GAZE TTE.
STATE of V ERMON t.
, _ Arlington, April 26, 1784.
S I R,
WITH that rcfpe& for Congress which the ci
tizens of this State have ever maintained,
I beg leave to transmit to your Excellency the sen
timents of the Council of this State, on the late
proceeding of the Senate and Assembly of the State
of New-York, refreshing this State, that your Ex
cellency may lay the fame before Congress, for
their confederation.
On the 21st of OHober 177 b, the Legi^ture of
the State of New-York palled a special law, em
powering Congress to hear and determine the coh
troverfy between that State and this, not upon the
principles of confederation, but according to equi
ty, arid on the 7th and.2@ ft of August 1781, Con
gress proposed preliminaries of a fcttlcment of the
laid controversy, to this State; which were accept
ed, and fully complied with by the Legillature of
this State, at their Sessions in February, 1782.
The Legillature of the State of New-York, in
the Nov. preceding, had very fpiritcdly reinon
ftrated against the preliminary settlement of Con
gress aforefaid; an extract of which temonftrance
is as follows:
" Refolvecl;
That in case of any attempt of Congress to tar
ty into execution their said a&s of the 7th and 2@ft
of August last, this Legillature, with all due defe
rence to Congress, are bo^nd in duty to their con
stituents, to declare the fame an aifumption of pow
er in the face of said ad of submission of this State,
and against the clear letter and spirit of the second,
third, ninth, and eleventh articles of confedera
tion, and a manifeft infringement of the fame, and
do therefore hereby solemnly protest against the
fame." But of late it appears, the Senate and As
sembly of the State of New-York, are again urging
Congress to decide their controversy with this State.
It seems they are willing Congress should fettle the
dispute as they have a mind, but not otherwise.
It appears from the late journals of the Senate of
the State of New-York, " That the Delegates be
further indruded to press Congress for a decilion
in the long protra&ed controversy, refpe&ing the
right of this State to the diftriH commonly called
the New-Hampshire Grants." And further, "but
that if ffie muff recur to force for the preservation
of her lawful authority, the impartial world will
pronounce that none of the bloodshed, disorder or
disunion which may ensue, can be imputable to
this Legillature."
As to this bloody proportion, the Council of this
State have only to remark, that Vermont does not
wish to enter into a war with the State of New-
York, but that flie will a& on the defenfive; and
expe&s that Congress and the twelve States will
observe a drift neutrality, and let the contending
States fettle their own controversy.
As to any allegations of the State of New-York
against the conduct of this State in bringing a few
male-contents to justice, and obedience to govern
ment, whom they had inspired with sedition, I
have only to observe, that this matter has been
managed by the wisdom of the Lcgiflature of this
State, who confider themselves herein amenable to
no earthly tribunal.
Before I conclude this letter, I beg leave to re
mind your Excellency, that it appears to the Coun
cil of this State improper, that the States of New-
York and New-Hampshire, who are competitors
for the jurifdittion thereof, should vote in Congress
on any motion which refpe&s Veimont, and also
contrary to an express resolution of Congress of the
2qtli of September 1779, in the words following,
" and that neither of the said States shall vote on
any question relative to the division thereof," that
is, relative to the independence of Vermont, al
though it appears from the journals of Congress,
that those claiming States have ever since voted on
all matters in which the interest of this State has
been concerned.
S I R,
I conclude this letter with the Satisfaction of re
minding Congress. that this State is still desirous of
a confederation with the United States, and have
the honor to be,
Sir,
With the highest refpe&,
Your Excellency's most obedient,
And verv humble servant.
(Signed) THOMAS CHITTENDEN.
His Excellency the
Frefident of Congress.
