in short set terms, arid they are trumpeted through
the place with all the vociferation of party
.zeal. In the mean time the candidate must toil
like a drayman; he mnft drink purl, chew tobacco,
take fnuff, make speeches whether he can Ypeak or
not, sing songs with cf without a voice, kiss the
women, old and young, beautiful and ugly he
must get drunk over night, and be on his legs the

April 14. Sir Guy Carleton is Shortly to go out•
Governor General of our remaining territories in
North-America.=Bcfides oth^r officers of govern
ment, he is to take with him a Bishop, who is
"expected to make “ the. crooked frail, and the rough
ways frnooth ;” or in other words, warm and com
fortable to (some of) the inhabitants as any other
p^rt of America.
April 22. The liberty of the press is certainly
the guardian of all other liberty; and they who,
for the fake of a few tranfgreflions, are for destroy
ing that liberty, shew themselves unfit for the
purpose of legislation, because they cannot distin
guish betwixt liberty and liceptioufnefs.
If the Paris accounts be credited, the date of
the French finances is more flourishing than those
'of either England or Holland.
The supplies, waysand means, and the consider
ation of the unfunded debt, will be among the
firft objects that will engage the attention of
ministry, at the next meeting of Parliament.
April 25. Accounts were last night received at
the Secretary of State's office, from the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, of a very alarming nature*;
a dangerous infprre&ion has taken place in Dublin,
and the Duke of Rutland has.been much mfultcd,
in his efforts to quell the tumult.
The Spaniards anfl Portuguese are as little in the
favour of the new hates, as the people of this
country, on account of the difeouragement they
give to the American trade in Europe.
'Extrafl of a letter from Dublin, April 9.
“ We are in great confiifion at piefent, in this
metropolis. A blow is aiming at the liberty of the
Press by Mr. Foyer's bill. The lower rank of
people are in continual tumult. A figure dressed
up with a bag wig, representing one of the enemies
to freedom, was yesterday carried about the Earl
of Meath's liberty, and afterwards burnt amidst
the acclamations of the populace. Much mifehief
is apprehended from the mob, on Easter Monday
and Tuesday; but proper precautions have been
taken by the police, to obviate any bad effects
from riotous proceedings."
D V B. L I N, April, 6,
The plan sketched by the Northington panders,
far the subjugation of Ireland to the English yoke,
begins now to unveil the majesty of that system of
tyranny, which Was to deprive the natives of trade,
—constitution—liberty. As noman could be found
so fit to carry outrage and horror through the land,
the military heroes, crowned with laurels, and
drenched in tlre blood of America, were poured
in here in thousands, by accident alone—not a
village, a hamlet, town dr city, in the kingdom,
'that is not crammed with English military, whole
swords yet reek with the blood of our American
brethren. Seven regiments now occupy the gar
rison of the capital, every man of whom had
orders, formahy days past, tobe ready at a moment's
warning to march into the city—the regiment of
horse flood fully appointed. Yesterday, a few
starving wretches formed a ragged g'oupe ofmifery
^nd despair—when the soldiery marched in all the
pomp of war, and took possession of the Senate
House of Ireland. Every avenue, all the corri
dores were crowded with infantry, while the horse
galloped through the streets at full charge. Posterity
will scarce believe, that in the year 1784, an Irish
parliament flew from the people-xo the protection
bf a sovereign soldiery.
For the DUBLIN EVENING POST.
To the P EOP L E.
WHENEVER faction sways and power is
exerted, riot to support the rights it was
created to preserve, but to crush inferior objects,
and to oppress the state, the general fafety depends
alone upon the people's virtue. In such a situation
is this devoted kingdom, at this important moment.
In vain we boast an independent legislation; in vain
we glory in extended commerce; the founds are
pieafing) but the substance is not found: Our I,
is independent only of the nation's voice; our com
merce fiee in name; but in reality enslaved.
An Englifli influence prevails amongst us, and
Ireland's trade muftyidd to British gold. In vain
the houfeßfs child of want flarids Shuddering in
our streets; sorrow at heart and famine in his face;
in vain tire pool artificer implores for work, to
rrourifh nature and to feed his children; in vain
humanity, with heaving sigh and trembling tear,
beholds her fellow creatures woe: The cry is
" hence ye idlers, hence ye rabble vile; and Irish
men muff starve, that Tritons may be pampered!
Hibernia, by God and nature firft defined to be
the grand emporium of the western world; in
clime salubrious, fertile in her foil, and hi' her
situation adapted for a general trade, by England's
cruelty oppreheu, becomes the land of famine, the
Ihe L - corrupted by a foreign minister,
and fnyilely obedient to his will, wants both tire
inclination and the spirit to tiffert our rights arid
vindicate our wrongs.—Look not, my virtuous
countrymen, look not to them for fuccour; their
L^a^sare carious to your fullerings; they feel not
yourdiftrefs. Why then fhoold wtcrAge to them?
Ihe means are in ourfelvcs; We will, we must
adopt them. What is this Britain that's to make
Us haves? And if ihe will not imile, why should
we fear her frown? To England's tyranny we owe
our wants! do Irish virtue let us owe success!
Where lies the difference between those nations ?
Do we not feel the winter's cold as well as they?
Andwill not hungei pinch us? If we are wounded
we "°' bleed? If we are fjarved, will we not
die? And when we are wronged, why should we
not complain!
Hear, then, the voice of nature, and be free.
Since protecting duties are refuted us, to encourage
England's trade, let us, my countrymen, with
unanimity, resolve to use none other manufacture
than our own, teach the proud tyrant, that we have
firmnels—and, when our cause is just, we will be
heard.
„ lire rion-im'pdrtatrpn agreement formerly entered'
into, procured for us a declaration of our rights
afimilar resolution now will obtain, for us, the
power to exert them. Have we been at all urfea
fonable? Have we pra&ifed tfe fame felfifh spirit
toward England, which the exerted to our ruin?
While in that county duties prohibitory, are im
puted on lr £ fh manufacture, we fought not to
exclude her goods, but to protect our own.—We
left her market open to the profligate and vain.
Fitz——might be clad in English silk, and F ^'s
clothes be all of British cloth. We allied but in
part to {upply our prudent, virtuous natives, yet
even -this boon has been refufed.
Let us but examine, whether any worthy cause
can be aligned for this uncommon partiality; who
firfl deprived us of our woollen trade ? 'Twas Eng
land. Who slandered firft the Irish nation, ar°d
enacted laws to exclude us irom their country?
England. Who destroyed our judicature, and
made our nobles cyphers? England. Who robbed
our parliament of power to legislate, and made the
dictates, of an Attorney General give laws to us?
England. Who ufarped a power to bind us by
their Senate, without our own concurrence? Eng
land. Who augmented our array in a time of
-peace, and drew them from us in the hour of
danger? England. Who left our coafls unguarded,
a prey to hostile privateers? England; the tyrant
England, those are her savors—those the blessings
fie bestows.—Good Heavens 1 Shall we then leave =
our country desolate ? Shall we deprive our
manufacturers of bread, to further her prosperity?
There is something so inconsistent, so absurdly
cruel, so timid and difgraceful in the bare idea,
that I trull it will inspire us all with just resent
ment, and point out the neceflity of felf defence.
Many parishes in the metropolis have already
declared tlieir wife determinatron, not to consume
a foreign fabric, but to give Encouragement unto
their own; some parts of the country have also
come into this ufeful measure. But unless 'tis
uhiverfal, 'twill be useless, and for this very reason
• —whatever part of the kingdom admits the impor
tation, will immediately be filled with English
goods. These will be fold for infinitely less than
firft cost, and conveyed in private through the
nation.—The retailer encouraged by the length of
credit, and the cheapness of the article, wiff buy
it up and fell it to us as the bed of Irish manufac
ture; the evil therefore will increase.—Let me
beseech you then, be all unanimous, guard against
all imposition, buy nothing on which the name cf
the manufacturer is not marked, and art affidavit
produced of their being truly Irish. Thus, my
countrymen, you may preserve a falling kingdom,
and by your virtue, deftrcly the force of venal
powci, and the machination of proftitnted knaves
A NORTHERN DRAPER.

ON Monday evening as a tradesman was fitting
on hs stoup, in Oliver-ftrect, he had the
pleasure to recognize the Captain of ah English
Privateer, on board of which he had been carried
and plundered in the course of the war; a keen
ferfe of the injury he had received roused him 10
filch a pitch of rage, that he fell upon the magna
nimous Hero, gave him fcvcral blows, and a 'few
kicks a posteriori, all which were received with a
decent and patient fefignation, Captain Bobadil
having lately become a peaceable citizen.

whiph arrived here' yesterday from Bristol, we
have papers of that citv to the 24th of April, and
in general we learn that the whole kingdom had
beeri thrown into confufion by the contests for
members for the new parliament.—The returns
had been very favourable to Mr. Pitt's administra
tion. A few large cities were yet in the warmth
of contention, such as Weftminfler, Bristol, &c.
At Britto!, on the 24th of April, the poll flood as

the election had continued already twenty-one
days, and when it would terminate was uncertain:
6ooohad already poll'd. The Fox and Burkito
flood aloof, and, as the contest was far advanced,
having many votes, they wished a pledge from
Cruger's friends that he would oppefe Mr.
hilt s administration, which was declined, on the
abortion that Mr. Cruger would act on his own
opinion, unless intruded by his constituents.
~ pr'ocipH grounds of eleEttoveering; abuse against
Mr. Cruger were, that he was an'Anneal, al
ways friendly to o^r caufc —that he had fabforted us
through the war, and that even now he erEoumced
our sassing in preference to the British ! ! / (The
