LONDON, February 1.
Mr. Pitt in the house of commons in a debate on the proposed union of Ireland with Great Britain, brought forward the following resolutions the consideration of which was made the order of the day, for the 7th.
1st. That in order to promote and secure the essential interests of Great Britain and Ireland, and to consolidate the strength, power, and resources, of the British empire, it will be advisable to concur in such measures as may tend to unite the two kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland in
one kingdom, in such a manner, and on such terms and conditions as may be established by acts of the respective parliaments of his majesty's said kingdoms.
2d. That it appears to this committee that it would be fit to propose as the first article to serve as a basis of the said union, that the said kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland shall upon a day to be agreed upon, be united into one kingdom, by the name of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
3d. That for the above purpose it appears also to this committee, that it would be fit to propose that the succession to the imperial crown of the said united kingdoms shall continue limited and settled in the same manner as the imperial crown of the said kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland now stands limited and settled according to the existing laws, and to the terms of the union between England and Scotland.
4th. That for the same purpose it appears also to this committee, that it would be fit to propose, that the said united kingdom be represented in one and the same parliament, to be styled the parliament for the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, and that such a number of lords spiritual and temporal, and such a number of members of the house commons, as shall hereafter be agreed upon by acts of the respective parliaments, as aforesaid, shall sit and vote in the said parliament on the part of Ireland and shall be summoned, chosen and returned, in such a manner as shall be fixed by an act of the parliament of Ireland previous to the said union: and that every member hereafter to sit and vote in the said parliament of the united kingdom shall, until the said parliament shall otherwise provide, take and subscribe the same oaths, and make the same declarations, as are by law required to be taken, subscribed and made by the members of the parliament of Great Britain and Ireland.
5th. That for the same purpose it appears also to this committee, that it would be fit to propose that the churches of England and Ireland, and the doctrine, worship, discipline and the government thereof, shall be preserved as now by law established.
6th. That for the same purpose it appears also to this committee, that it would be fit to propose that his majesty's subjects in Ireland, shall at all times hereafter be entitled to the same privileges and be on the same footing in respect to trade and navigation, in all ports and places belonging to Great Britain, and in all cases with respect to which treaties shall be made by his majesty, his heirs or successors, with any foreign power, as his majesty's subjects in Great Britain; that no duty shall be imposed on the imports or exports between Great Britain and Ireland of any articles now duty free; and that on other articles there shall be established for a time to be limited such a moderate rate of equal duties as shall, previous to the union, be agreed upon and approved by the respective parliaments, subject after the expiration of such limited time, to be diminished equally with respect to both kingdoms, but in no case to be increased; that all articles which may at any time hereafter be imported into Great Britain from foreign ports, shall be importable through either kingdom into the other, subject to the like duties and regulation as if the same were imported directly from foreign parts; that where any articles, the growth, produce, or manufacture of either kingdom, are subject to any internal duty in one kingdom, such countervailing duties (over and above any duties on import to be fixed as aforesaid) shall be imposed as shall be necessary to prevent any inequality, in that respect; and that all other matters of trade and commerce other than the foregoing, and then such others as may before the union be specially agreed upon for the due encouragement of the agriculture and manufacture of the respective kingdoms, shall remain to be regulated from time to time by the united parliament.
7th. That for the like purpose it would be fit to propose, that the charge arising from the payment of the interest on the sinking fund for the
reduction of the principal of the debt incurred in either kingdom before the union, shall continue to be respectively defrayed by Great Britain and Ireland. That for a number of years to be limited, the future ordinary expenses of the united kingdom in peace or war, shall be defrayed by Great Britain and Ireland jointly, according to such proportions as shall be established by the respective parliaments previous to the union; and that after the expiration of the time to be so limited, the proportion shall not be liable to be varied, except according to such rates and principles as shall be in like manner agreed upon previous to the union.
8th. That for the like purpose it would be fit to propose, that all laws in force at the time of the union, and that all the courts of the civil or ecclesiastical jurisdiction within the respective kingdoms, shall remain as now by law established within the same, subject only to such alterations or regulations from time to time as circumstances may appear to the parliament of the united kingdoms to require.
That the foregoing resolutions be laid before his majesty, with an humble address, assuring his majesty that we have proceeded with the utmost attention to the consideration of the important objects recommended to us in his majesty's gracious message.
That we entertain a firm persuasion that a complete and entire union between Great Britain and Ireland, founded on equal and liberal principles, on the similarity of laws, constitution and government and on a sense of mutual interests and affections, by promoting the security, wealth and commerce of the respective kingdoms, and by allaying the distractions which have unhappily prevailed in Ireland, must afford fresh means of opposing at all times an effectual resistance to the destructive projects of our foreign and domestic enemies, and must tend to confirm and augment the stability, power and resources of the empire.
Impressed with these considerations, we feel it our duty humbly to lay before his majesty such propositions as appear to us best calculated to form the basis of such a supplement, leaving it to his majesty's wisdom, at such time, and in such manner as his majesty, in his parental solicitude for the happiness of his people, shall judge fit to communicate these propositions to his parliament of Ireland, with whom we shall be at all times ready to concur in all such measures as may be found most conducive to the accomplishment of this great and salutary work. And we trust, that after full and mature consideration, such a settlement may be framed and established, by the deliberate consent of the parliaments of both kingdoms, as may be conformable to the sentiments, wishes, and real interest of his majesty's faithful subjects in Great Britain and Ireland, and may unite them inseparably in the full enjoyment of the blessings of our invaluable constitution, in support of the honor and dignity of his majesty's crown, and in the preservation and advancement of the prosperity and welfare of the whole British empire.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.
We have received the Madrid Royal Gazette down to the 15th of January, from which we shall lay before our readers several important extracts, with as little delay as possible. The following are the most prominent features of the present interesting and authentic advices:
Buonaparte, and his army triumphant in Egypt.
The foundation of a new city had been laid in Egypt, in a commanding situation, it is called Buonapartopolis.
The affairs of Italy favourable to freedom.
General Moreau at the head of an army of observation, was encamped with 200,000 men on the Po, between Verona and Legnago.
The Neapolitan and Sardinian monarchies, no longer exist.
Malta has been re-inforced and provisioned.
Peace concluded between the German empire, and the French republic, Portugal threatened with invasion.

The following was written by Edmund Pendleton, esq. of Caroline county, Virginia, and published in the Examiner, printed in Richmond.
"When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, speak of them as they are; nothing extenuate, nor set down ought in malice."
SHAKESPEARE.
The measures recommended by the secretary of war, and commissioner of the navy, for an augmentation of the army and navy of the United States, and now under consideration of congress, are truly alarming; since their adoption would create, a ruinous debt, which after oppressing the people for ages to raise the annual interest, must at length be cleared, either by a revolution, or a dishonorable sponge.—An army of 50,000 mercenaries, at the devotion, of some future enterprising president, aided by a sedition bill, and other accumulated terrors, with the influence of hope from an enormous patronage, will subject America to executive despotism, instead of a representative republican government.
A fleet to give full protection to our commerce, or to extend beyond what is necessary to guard our coasts against pirates and privateers, would not only cost more than our trade is worth, but be at all times at the mercy of a foreign nation, whose naval power could not probably be equalled by the sale of America in fee simple, and the application of the money to that purpose.—A nation too jealous of our rising commerce, and panting for its return to her former monopoly and direction, to which our waste of wealth and strength, would contribute. Our resources are said to be equal to any purpose.—Let us examine the state of them.—It has been proved, that the 1st of January 1796 our public debt necessarily created during the war, so far from being diminished, was increased about six millions of dollars; altho' in a time of peace, and when from a trade generally flourishing, the import revenue was productive; besides other taxes, and the sale of a considerable proportion of western lands.
In consequence of measures since, we have now to raise about ten millions of dollars annually to be paid by four millions of people of all sorts, (two dollars and a half for each soul,) no matter in what form: And should the proposed augmentation be made, the annual demand will be increased five millions more; without estimating the discharge of any part of the principal, or the probable call for further expence: And how is this to be raised? the treasury is deficient, and two millions are to be borrowed by anticipation on the credit of the taxes—the people are supposed unable to pay more than half the ten millions for the present year, and therefore five millions are to be borrowed to supply that deficiency.—the same inability will no doubt, occur in future years—so that out of this annual demand, it would seem there will grow a new debt, of five millions yearly, and the interest: and if any person can foresee where it is to stop, the disclosure would afford some comfort. Again—these loans are to be made at an unlimited interest (how constitutionally the world will judge) which betrays a suspicion of American credit: It is said the president has offered eight per cent, whether it will be got for that or not, is uncertain; but should that happen that "the paying or rather contracting to pay eight per cent for money would evince the ample resources of a nation," seems as novel and absurd in national policy, as all men know it to be in private concerns.
Further—how are individuals to pay these heavy taxes? their commercial intercourse with France, (from which, when in its vigour, they derived great wealth, the annual balance in favour of America, being stated at upwards of six millions of dollars) is prohibited; and our trade in a great measure confined to Britain, by her capture of our vessels to or from the ports of Spain and the Batavian republic: In the British trade the balance has been ever against us, and must ever continue so, whilst it remains subject to her controul. It is true the tobacco states have lately experienced an high price for that article, attributable to small crops of late years, and to all the European markets being open, and a fair competition kept up; it is now said that the price is greatly fallen in London! if this be true, it must proceed from its being engrossed to that port,
by the captures or other means, that they may buy on their own terms, and by tending the surplus to foreign markets, pocket the profits, which the planters are intitled to, and would receive from a direct free trade to those countries; it being notorious that the markets there are yet empty, and the price very high.
In this serious and deranged state of our fiscal abilities, we must surely pause; and not encrease the evil, but on the most imperious and inevitable necessity: Whether such exists, or not, will best appear from an enquiry into the true state of our foreign relations, particularly respecting the two great European nations, unhappily engaged in war, which is prosecuted with a spirit, strongly indicating a wish of extermination on both sides; and from both of whom, America has received aggressions.
In this enquiry we meet embarrassment from the silence of the public communications, as to the injuries of one nation, and all other transactions with her administration, while the voluminous statements respecting the other, are tedious to read, and difficult, accurately to understand.
It cannot I believe be denied, however, that from the year 1793, to the present day, Britain has continued to capture and condemn American vessels, and impress our seamen, contrary to the law of nations, and since the late treaty in violation of that. By the treaty they agreed to make compensation for those injuries, to be settled by commissioners, whose progress hath been slow and expensive, and the payments, it is said scarcely equal to interest on the demands; this I do not assert, but from what I hear of another set of commissioners at Philadelphia, I am inclined to think the U. States would have a good bargain to discharge both classes of her commissioners, and set the spoliations on her commerce, against the assumed British debts; although probably not a shilling on that account was justly due from the Union: Which it may be necessary to explain.
At the time of the British treaty in 1794, the unsettled parts of that of 1793, were—on the part of Britain the evacuating the western posts, and delivering up, or compensating for the negroes they possessed of ours at the peace—and on the American part, a repeal of the state laws, which impeded the recovery of British debts: Which nation was most faulty in the non-performance, was a question, the discussion of which, was more likely to irritate, than conciliate: Impartial judges will probably decide it against Britain, from the terms of the treaty, requiring her part to be performed forthwith; whereas the American part, would in its nature require some considerable time to effect it; and from the superior power of that nation to indemnify herself, by reprisals on our commerce, if, after performance on her part, America had neglected to comply with hers: However, the declaration in the preamble, to forbear these unfriendly discussions, was wise, if it had been observed in these points, as it was in the case of the new spoliations, which admitted of no doubt, that the fault was all on one side. As to what was to be done, America had in 1789 performed her part, by adopting her federal constitution, which declared "all former as well as future treaties, to be the supreme law," and operated as a repeal of all the impeding state laws: it only remained to provide for the yielding of the posts, and compensating for the negroes.
It was indeed equitable that America should account for all losses in the debts, from insolvencies happening between 1783 and 1789—but the same principle at least, equally required that Britain should account for the damages to America, occasioned by her non-performance, to wit: for the loss of America's share of the peltry trade, and, probably the expence and other evils of a long indian war, from the retention of the posts; and interest at least, added to the compensation for the negroes: The accounts to have been fairly adjusted, and the balance on either side paid; or to save trouble, to have set one against the other, each nation becoming pay-master to her individual citizens. Instead of this Britain is rewarded for the breach, by a total acquittance for the negroes; and being allowed still eighteen months more to yield the posts, which were in 1783, to have been given up forthwith. The American lands, which Britain had in the interval granted to
their Indian traders, were confirmed to them, which they were permitted to hold, and continue British subjects, if that was their choice at the end of a year; by which America was subjected to the danger of indian hostilities, and injury in trade, from their secret cabals.
On the other hand America is punished, and not only with payment for insolvencies, happening in the period before stated (the utmost limits, of her moral obligation on a fair mutual account,) but, from the loose wording of the article, we are told, that all the worm eaten ledgers of the century are brought forth and an insolvent balance is claimed—at the same time legal judgments, on trials not depending on the question of legal impediments, contemplated by the treaty, but on the real merits of the demand, are submitted to the judgment of the commissioners, against all propriety and expediency: the amount and consequent increase of the American debt, is incalculable, and no wonder it is estimated at from thirty to sixty millions of dollars.
This is the state of our situation respecting Britain, which does not offer any temptation to a political union with her; nor an anxious desire to increase the commercial intercourse, unless it can be more free, and its progress and profits reciprocal: at the same time no person wishes a war, with her, which would increase the evil, but hope for a remedy in negotiation, directed by principles of reciprocity and mutual interest.

PARIS, January 8.
Two Tuscan Tartars have arrived at Leghorn, from Alexandria, in Egypt. The dates of their last accounts, are to November 10th. The following is a copy of a letter from a lieutenant of the French marine artillery, dated at Fort du Fare, Alexandria, Nov. 8th, 1798: "We have received intelligence that the inhabitants of Cairo and vicinity, instigated by English emissaries, have risen in arms against our troops, who were necessitated to fire on the insurgents, and to destroy near four thousand of them; that the residue had returned to order, and had surrendered themselves to Buonaparte in person. After the insurrection was allayed, a contribution of two millions, was levied on the inhabitants." This letter incontestably proves the falsehood of the accounts of Buonaparte's death, and likewise of his reputed ill success, but it establishes the facts of the insurrection at Cairo—of the scenes of blood and carnage consequent thereon; and that the intrigues of the British are not confined to Europe.
We further learn from Egypt, that the divan assembled at Cairo, by Buonaparte, had not answered his expectation. The result of its deliberations was, that all innovation was contrary to the Koran; and that the Koran had foreseen every thing. At the breaking up of this Turkish convention, the Polish general Sulkowski, one of the principle aids de camp of Buonaparte, was assaulted by them, and altho' he vigorously defended himself, fell a sacrifice to their fury. General Desaix, informed that at the instigation of their jealous and ferocious priests, a number of armed Mussulmen threatened to assassinate the Institute, (a society of learned men, assembled at Cairo) was murdered in the act of affording them assistance. Gen. Buonaparte immediately assembled his forces, beat the generale, and ordered in a detachment of 6000 men, who had been stationed at a distance. A horrible carnage was made amongst the assassins. Fifteen hundred of them took refuge in a mosque. No quarter to assassins, was the word; and they all perished by the sword. It is added, Buonaparte has been obliged to shut himself up in his encampment. January 26.
The garrison of Mantua has received a reinforcement of three thousand Piedmontese, and that of Brescia has also received an addition of 2000 troops, from the same country.
It is said that the commandant of Ehrenbreitstein has called for succors both from the empire and the king of Prussia, and that both the one and the other have said that they cannot assist him. The garrison makes daily signals, which are believed to be signals of extreme distress.
The capture of Malta by the British, is fully contradicted by the last letters from that quarter.
LONDON, February 5.
Only one of the four Dublin mails that became due yesterday arrived, bringing letters and papers of the 29th. The most striking feature of the intelligence is that which described the general indignation excited by Mr. Pitt's speech of the 23d, wherein he pledged himself to persevere in an union. The speech of Sir John Parmell shews with what feelings it was received; and the resolutions of the Holfers company must apprise the minister of the extremes to which parties will proceed if he perseveres. January 28.
Government has lately received undoubted intelligence, that the French are at this moment making the most vigorous exertions at Brest, to get ready for sea, with all possible dispatch, a squadron of ten sail of the line; and that for this purpose, they have sent over land vast quantities of naval stores, and a great number of seamen, from different parts of the northern and western coasts of the Republic. The directory has given out this armament is destined for the Mediterranean.
BOSTON, March 28.
On Tuesday last the chief judge passed sentence on ABIAH ADAMS, for a libel, which was, that he was to suffer thirty days imprisonment, and sureties for five hundred dollars, for his
good behavior for one year, and pay costs of suit.
Mr. Adams was immediately taken into custody, and imprisoned in the gaol of the county. He was put into a room, thro' the double grates of which his friends could convey those consolations which his situation required. The cold damps of his abode began to operate on his feeble constitution, which he expressed to his friends, and on representation made to the sheriff, he was removed to a more eligible residence.
PHILADELPHIA, April 15.
The latest from Northampton.
By a gentleman who left Bethlehem yesterday morning, we are informed, that the troops were encamped at Allentown, in good health, and spirits—that twelve more of the insurgents had been apprehended in different quarters of the country, who, together with those previously taken, were securely guarded in the camp. The army was this day to advance towards Bethlehem, and had a prospect of being able to return to the city about the 19th inst.
At Miller's town the army was joined by a troop of horse from Lancaster, another from Chester, and one from Montgomery. These had afforded considerable relief to the other cavalry, which had before been much harassed with frequent excursions after the insurgents, and without much success latterly, as they had become alarmed, and the most active of them had fled from their homes. Several parties had been in pursuit of a person of the name of Marks, of Quaker town, a leading character among them, who had however, effected his escape.
April 19.
Latest from the Army
The army marched in perfect health on Wednesday morning 5 o'clock, from Allen town, for Greenbrier's, near the Blue mountain, in Lynn township, Northampton. Some persons in Lynn township were to be apprehended, which induced the general to approach the mountains. As no evidence of hostility or violence was apprehended, it is believed that the business will be soon accomplished there. After which, it is supposed, the troops will return by the way of Hamburg, through Berks county; many parts of the county having evidenced a seditious temper, though it has not arrived at the disgraceful crisis exhibited in Northampton.
It is probable the army will return through Reading, and visit some disturbed parts of Bucks and Montgomery in their march home, where they will arrive in all probability the middle or latter end of next week. We are informed by a gentleman who has been continually with the troops that their conduct has not only been irreproachable but remarkable for discipline and good order through the whole course of their march.
It appears that the violence of the deluded people of that country is completely subdued, and many of them begin to be sensible of their error; though too many are in a state of sullenness which time only and the punishment of the most atrocious offenders at least, will remove.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
MAY TO APRIL.
WITHOUT your showers, I breed no flowers, Each field a barren waste appears; If you don't weep, My blossoms sleep, They take such pleasure in your tears.
As your decay Made room for May, So I must part with all that's mine; My balmy breeze, My blooming trees, To torrid suns their sweets resign.
For April dead, My shades I spread; To her I owe my dreis so gay; Of daughters three, It falls on me, To close our triumph in one day.
Thus to repose, All nature goes; Month after month must find its doom: Time on the wing, May end the spring, And summer triumphs o'er the tomb.
