TH E new Parliament of Ireland will be ^
fidered by future generations as a Volunteer
Farliament ' e^ednot b Y Freemen and Free
holders, but by the aggregate body of the nation i&
•arms. The Fencibles are as obnoxious to the Vo
lunteers as the Loyalists are to the other American
Natives.; and it is more than probable the sword ot
Civil difeord will be drawn before the legal repre.
Tentative body is chosen.
If Washington has feriduty tetired from his post
of eminence, he proves himfelf as great a philoso
pher as he proved himfelf a general. The world
is much mistaken in she value of a crown or fceptre.
We gaze upon their brightness, but forget their
bitterness. We gaze in adniiration upon their glory,
and forget their frailty. We refped their gilding,
but pay no refped to their weight. But if all those
gay things, which we fondly fancy to ourselves,
were really to be found in greatness, yet still he
pays too dear who pawns his confidence for their
enjoyment.
It is certainly a niggardly panegyric upon the
of Washington, to fay that he is the
nioftdtfttnguifhed character which this age has pre
sented, as there is a brilliancy in his conduft, con
sidered in every light, which places him upon a
level with the mutt illustrious worthies o f antiquity
~:?"f CTerinf diligence with which he conduced
bimlelf in his station as th^afetor,^ dffen^eV
his country can Uy be equalled by! is moderation
in the use of that power which his elevated situation
and ihimenfe abilities afforded him, and his noble
rehgnariun and judicious retirement from all public
authority, after establishing the freedom of an em
fitch a towering dignity of character
as will be perhaps without a parallel in the future
records of mankind. The departure of this great
man from public concerns, displays a degree of pru
dence and knowledge of mankind which fully
b is , m ^ r y r'" s ' f ° r not<vit hftahding that a ftront
sense of his fences undoubtedly prevails over the
A me ft , very possible that jealoufa sot
have affefted his reputation if he had taken

less distrusts of political ambition, which will now be
handed down with all the zeal of patriotic gratitude
to the temoteft inhabitants of the Wefterrihemif

Many of the officers who fared 'in the American
army are now in town, and wear their black and
white cockades, the emblematical insignia of the

advices are received from Cadi±, that finte the
affair at Algiers the Barbary corsairs have become
so exceedingly outrageous, and have captured such
bombers of bpanifh fops; that the king had sent an

Afhip from Malaga, f or Cadiz, was chafed by two

At no period of the war was money in the city of
London so scarce as atpprese t, and indeed credit is
