LONDON, November 28.
IRELAND.
Friday se'night a meeting of magistrates took place at Hillsborough, where lord Carhampton attended. The result of the meeting was, that five of the parishes in the county of Down, which adjoin the county of Armagh, were put out of the king's peace. A similar meeting took place at Antrim on Saturday, of the magistrates of that county, attended also by lord Carhampton.
After agreeing to the following resolutions, lord viscount O'Neal in the chair, they adjourned to the 23d inst. at Ballymena.
Resolved, that at this alarming crisis, when we are threatened with a foreign invasion, and when seditious associations are formed, hostile to the internal tranquility and regular government of the country, it is the duty of every man who values the blessings of our constitution, to stand forward in defence of the laws, and of that rational liberty and security, which the due execution of them affords to the persons and properties of all his majesty's subjects.
Resolved, that we see with indignation and abhorrence, a system of assassination and outrage making its appearance in this country, a system which stops the channel of public justice, robs every individual of his dear-est rights, and has materially injured the commercial credit of the country.
Resolved, that this atrocious system has originated in unlawful meetings, held under the pretext of promoting reform, the members of which we have good grounds to believe, are united under the obligation of unlawful oaths.
Resolved, that a continuance of the system of terror and intimidation, which has been established in this country, will lead to the inevitable necessity of having recourse to that remedy which a late law has provided in such cases.
Resolved, that when a foreign enemy is making preparations to invade our shores, when it becomes the duty of all well affected subjects to form themselves into armed bodies, under the legislature, for the defence of their property, it is necessary to declare that we will support, at every hazard, the formation of such corps, which in certain parts of this opulent country have been hitherto obstructed by menace and insult.
Resolved, that as men and magistrates, we will use our best exertions to stop the progress of sedition, outrage and assassination, in whatever form they may appear, and preserve the peace and tranquility of the country; and should efforts for that purpose be unsuccessful, we will not shrink from the duty, however we may lament the necessity of taking the steps prescribed by the laws, to declare the country in a disturbed state.
Thursday the lord lieutenant of Ireland held a privy council at Dublin Castle, when a proclamation was issued declaring the parishes of Tullnish, Aghaderg, Donagheloney, Moira, Matalin and Seapatrick, in the county of Down, to be in a state of disturbance, a certificate for the purpose to his excellency the lord lieutenant having been received, signed by twenty-four magistrates of that county.

INVASION OF IRELAND.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, December 1.
"Yesterday our city experienced a scene of confusion that I can scarcely describe.
"At eight o'clock in the morning, an express arrived from the mayor of Cork, stating that several sail of French line of battle ships, conveying a thousand flat bottomed boats, with 150,000 men, were plainly discernible, standing to us for the shore, and making preparations for landing.
"The Lord Lieutenant immediately sent for the commander in chief, who summoned a council of war, at which all the staff officers were present; and while they were deliberating what to do, the report circulated like wild fire through every part of the metropolis; and by one o'clock it was asserted on Change, that 400,000 men had made good their landing, murdered all the men in Crookhaven, ravished the women and then set fire to the town, which was soon reduced to ashes; and that they afterwards
marched for Cork, with intent to put all the men to death there, to plunder that city, and reduce it to a heap of ruins!
"The privy council was assembled in the great council chamber; the general officers in another part of the castle. All the inhabitants of the city and suburbs who had red coats put them on. Fierce cocked hats, cockades, swords and firelocks were to be found in every street; and to say the truth, there seemed to be the appearance of alacrity; and tho' much confusion was to be found, no dismay was visible.
"Expresses were immediately despatched to order the people to drive all their cattle from the coasts into the interior, and to remove their valuables; and a messenger was sent to England with this alarming intelligence.
"At two o'clock, rumor annihilated Cork, Waterford and Kinsale, and announced the enemy on his march to Dublin, laying waste to every town and village through which he travelled, that the PEAS OF DAY BOYS had joined him, and were his guides.
"At four o'clock another express arrived from the mayor of Cork, with the agreeable intelligence that the seventy sail of French line of battle ships with one thousand flat bottomed boats and an hundred and fifty thousand men, turned out to be the homeward bound East-India fleet, on their way to Plymouth, and that the burning down Crookhaven was nothing more than a chimney on fire!
"The council broke up, the citizens took off their scarlet coats, the guns and swords were laid up, and the heads of the university exclaimed, Parturiunt montes, nascitur ridiculus mus. "
December 13.
The Olive Branch, an American vessel which was taken and carried into Portsmouth, a few days ago by the Audacious, man of war, on examination, it appears to have 37,000 stands of arms, instead 20,000 at first stated, and above twenty-five pieces of artillery, mostly brass, among which latter are some of the park artillery lost by the Duke of York before Dunkirk.
December 15.
This day we received the French Journals to the 12th inst. The following are the leading particulars—
Louret, in his paper of the 11th, says, a letter from Milan announces, that the flag of distress is flying on the ramparts of Mantua. He adds, that news which appears to be more certain, is, that Kleber with 30,000 men has passed the Rhine at Oppenheim, to annoy the operations of the Archduke against Kehl.
Letters from Strasburg announce, that the bridge of Kehl has been destroyed, which makes it more likely that the place will fall into the hands of the Austrians.
A letter from Nieuweid, states, that the Archduke has refused an armistice requested by Moreau.
The English have quitted the Isle of Elba, but have left a convoy there. It is thought they are about to return thither in considerable force.
The Brest fleet still remains in the road, it has 22,000 troops on board.
Nothing further has transpired respecting the negotiations for peace. In the interim the Directory send couriers to Vienna, the Emperor to Petersburg, and Lord Malmesbury to London.
PARIS, December 1.
Buonaparte, commander in chief, to the Executive Directory.
Head quarters at Verona, 29th Brumaire, November 19.
"I have been so harrassed with fatigue, citizens directors, that it has been impossible for me to make known all the military movements that have preceded the battle of Arcole, which has decided the fate of Italy.
Informed that field marshal Alvinzy, commanding the army of the emperor, approached Verona, for the purpose of forming a junction with the divisions of his army in Tyrol, I filed off along the Adige with the divisions of Angereau and Massena, and in the night of the 24th and 25th threw a bridge of boats across at Rouco, where we passed that river. I was in hopes of arriving in the morning at Villa Nova, and by that means taking the enemy's park of artillery and baggage, and attacking them in flank and rear. The head quarters of general Alvinzy were at Caldero. But the enemy, who had heard of some
movements, had sent a regiment of Croats and some regiments of Hungarians into the village of Arcole, extremely strong by its position in the midst of marshes and canals.
"This village stopped the advanced guard of the army during the whole of the day. It was in vain that all the generals, feeling the importance of the time, precipitated themselves at its head, to oblige our columns, to pass the little bridge of Arcole. Too much courage was dangerous. They were almost all wounded. Generals Verdier, Bon, Verne, Lasne, were put out of combat. Angereau laying hold of a standard, advanced to the extremity of the bridge, where he remained for several minutes without producing any effect. Meanwhile it was necessary to pass that bridge or take a circuitous route of several leagues, which would have made our whole operation mis- carry; I repaired myself to the spot; I asked the soldiers if they still were the conquerors of Lodi? My presence produced an emotion among the troops, which still determined me to risk the passage. General Lasne, already wounded twice with shot, received a third and more dangerous wound.
"General Wignole was also wounded. We were obliged to renounce forcing the village in front, and to wait till a column, commanded by general Guieux, whom I had sent thro' Albaredo, had arrived—he did not arrive till night, took the village, four pieces of cannon, and made some hundreds of prisoners.
In the interval gen. Massena attacked a division which the enemy made desile from their headquarters against our left, discomfited, and put it completely to the route.
"It had been thought expedient to evacuate, during night, the village of Arcole, and we expected at day break to be attacked by the whole army of the enemy, who were found to have had time to file off with their baggage and parks of artillery, and to advance to the rear to receive us.
"At day break the combat commenced every where with the greatest alertness. Massena, who was on the left, put the enemy to the route, and pursued them to the gates of Calderp. General Robert, who was on the middle causeway with the 75th, defeated the enemy with the bayonet, and covered the field of battle with dead bodies. I ordered the adjutant general to advance along the Adige, with a half brigade to turn the whole left of the enemy, but the country presented invincible obstacles; it was in vain for that brave general to plunge himself up to the neck in water; he could not effect a diversion of any consequence. In the night between the 26th and 27th (Nov. 16, 17) I had bridges thrown over the canals and marshes.
"General Angereau passed them with his division; at six in the morning we were within sight; general Massena on the left, general Robert in the centre, and general Angereau on the right. The enemy attacked the center vigorously, which fell back. I then drew the 32d from the left, and placed it in ambuscade in the woods, and the instant the enemy pressed the centre and was on the point of turning our right, general Gardanne, at the head of the 32d, sallied forth from his ambuscade, took the enemy in flank, and made horrible carnage.
"The left of the enemy was supported by the marshes, and awed our right by their superior number. I ordered citizen Hercule, the officer of my guides, to choose 25 men of his company to advance along the Adige, to the distance of half a league, to turn all the marshes which supported the enemy's left, and to fall afterwards, in full gallop, into the enemy's rear, and make several trumpets sound. This manœuvre was perfectly successful, the hostile infantry gave way, and general Angereau took advantage of the moment. But it still made resist-ance, though it was retreating, when a small column of between eight and nine thousand men, with four pieces of cannon, whom I had made desile through Porto Leguago, to take position in the rear of the enemy, and to fall upon their backs during the combat, finished by completely putting them to the route.
"General Massena, who had returned to the centre, marched straight to the village of Arcole, which he took, and pursued the enemy too near the
village of St. Bonifacio, but night prevented our going farther.
"The fruit of the battle of Arcole is between four and five thousand prisoners, four stand of colours, and 18 pieces of cannon. The enemy lost at least four thousand killed, and had as many wounded. The adjutant general Vandelin has been killed. I had two of my aids de camps killed, citizens Elliot and Muisson; two officers of the greatest distinction; tho' young, still they promised to gain one day the highest military rank with glory. Our loss, though inconsiderable, was very severe, because it included all the principal officers.
"Meanwhile general Vaugeois has been attacked, and his important position at Rivoli forced; this has uncovered the blockade of Mantua. We sent the cavalry to Vicenza, where I had left general Kalmaine with three thousand men.
"At this moment I have rallied the division of Vaugeois; I forced it, and it is at Castlenovo. Angereau is at Verona. Massena about Villanova. To-morrow I will attack the division which beat Vaugeois. I will pursue it into Tyrol, and then wait the surrender of Mantua, which cannot hold out a fortnight longer. The artillery has covered itself with glory.
"The generals and officers of the staff displayed an unexampled activity and bravery. Twelve or fifteen were killed, it was really a deadly combat; there is not one but what has his clothes pierced with bullets.
"I will send you the colours taken from the enemy.
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
Army of the Rhine and Moselle.
The General in chief to the Executive Directory.
Head quarters at Schilfiken, 2d Frimaire, November 22.
Citizen Directors.
The garrison of Kehl made a vigorous sortie to reconnoitre the line of circumvallation of the enemy.
General Defaix was charged with the attack of the right—General Decaen in the centre, and General Sice on the left.
The whole line of the enemy was forced without a shot being fired, with infinite intrepidity on the part of our troops: the enemy abandoned all their artillery, which was instantly spiked. Could we have anticipated a success so complete, and had had artillery horses ready, we might have taken twenty pieces at least. With the horses which we could spare from our own we could only bring off ten pieces. We have made from six to seven hundred prisoners, amongst them are twenty officers, including a Colonel and a Major. Such was the result of this sally.
As soon as it was thought the enemy's corps de reserve ready to attack us, Gen. Defaix caused the troops to return to their entrenchments. To attempt to maintain ourselves in those of the enemy was an operation which was not amongst our projects.
The battle was one of the most obstinate of the war, and must have occasioned a considerable loss to the enemy. They cannot deny that the advantage was entirely ours.
The 10th, and 106th, and 84th, demi brigades performed prodigies of valor. It was impossible for me to ascertain all the details of the instances of individual courage which were displayed on this occasion. I have promised to appoint provisionally to the rank of sublieutenant a sergeant of the 106th, who gave proofs of uncommon courage. The general officers who conducted the attack merit the highest eulogium.
General Defaix had his horse killed under him, and was slightly wounded, General Lacombe had his horse wounded in two places.
Several officers equally distinguished themselves. Perion and Quelard, Chiefs of Brigade of the 106th and 84th, were wounded. Messire Chief of battalion of the 10th, was amongst the foremost in forcing the entrenchments.
The good conduct of the troops upon this occasion ought to persuade the enemy, that if he is determined to attack Kehl, he will not carry it so easily as he may have been led to believe.

DUBLIN, December 6.
By a gentleman arrived from Belfast, we are happy to learn, that the

Inhabitants of that populous and wealthy town, are in a state of the most perfect tranquility; that the pursuits of commerce and manufactures were at no former period more sedulously followed, and that every thing carries the air of peace and industry.
The whole of the county of Antioch we are pleased to find, enjoys the same uninterrupted tranquility; not a parish in it has been disturbed even for a day—of course not one has been proclaimed.

Letters from Vienna, says the London Courier, announce that La Fayette, his wife and daughter, with La Tour, Maubourg, and Bury de Puffy, are about to be sent to Siberia.
A writer in a London paper proposes, in these critical times, to arm the clergy in defence of the kingdom. They amount to 40,000. Archbishops to be field marshals—bishops, generals—deans, generals of division—archdeacons, aids du camp—&c. while the vicars and curates should be subalterns and privates, and do the fighting, as they are used to hard duty and hard living.
The French Journalists say, that as his Britannic majesty still titles himself King of France, and as he does not acknowledge the French Republic, that he might have kept Lord Malmesbury at home, and treat for peace with himself!
The French Republic insist upon the pope's recalling all the bulls he has sent to France since the year 1789—and that in their room he shall send some oxen, sheep and money.

THE SUBSCRIBER
HAVING engaged a workman from Philadelphia, perfectly acquainted with manufacturing Cordage in all its different branches, is determined to engage extensively in that business; he will therefore give the highest prices for good well cleaned HEMP and TAR, and generous wages to all such FOURNEYMEN Rope Makers as can come well recommended for their sobriety and industry. He would also wish to take a number of boys from twelve to fifteen years of age, as APPRENTICES to the said business, who shall be well clothed and comfortably boarded in the family of Mr. Dodge the manager, who has come forward highly recommended as a man of character, and perfectly well acquainted with the management of a rope walk, and whom the subscriber has taken into partnership. As this species of manufacture will probably be continued and greatly extended in the western country, and as it is an easy and decent employment, it is hoped that many will be disposed to be instructed in so useful a branch of business.

CASH will also be given for a quantity of HEMP SEED of the last year's growth. March 18, 1797.
Six Dollars Reward.
LOST from the plantation of Mr. Leonard Young, near Bryant's Station, a black HORSE, five years old, fifteen hands high, trot, branded with O I believe on his near buttock, and a scar on his hip. G. PENDEGRASS. Lexington.
RUN away from the subscriber the 13th instant, a likely young negro man by the name of TOM, of rather a black complexion, about five feet ten inches high, a little knock-kneed, but thick and well made for strength. He was scalded when young and the scar is very plain yet on his back and side; he has a down look when spoken to; he had on when he went away a white linen short coat and leather breeches, with old shoes; he took with him a rifle gun, double triggered that runs about 100 balls to the pound, well finished, with R. Bohannon on the box; also an Otter skin shot pouch and powder horn, with a tin charger fastened to the strap; he is of a cowardly disposition and may be easily taken. I rather suppose he will make for the north west side of the Ohio, where he will endeavor to pass for a freeman; or perhaps he may attempt to go thro' the wilderness to Virginia—any person taking up said negro and delivering him to me, or securing him in any public jail, so that he may be brought to justice, shall receive a generous reward and all reasonable charges.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE PRISON.
O welcome, debtor! in these walls Thy cares, and Joys, and loves fore- go, Approach (a brother debtor calls) And join the family of woe!
Did fortune with her frowning brow Thy late and early toils withstand; Or slander strike the fatal blow, Or griping us'ry's iron hand.
Say, does a wife, to want consign'd, While weeping babes surround her bed, Peep thro' and see the fetters bind Those hands that earn'd their daily bread?
Does she in vain, on knees that bend, The marble heart of wealth implore? Breathless pursue some flying friend, Or beat in vain the closing door?
Look up, and share our scanty meal; For us some brighter hours may flow; Some angel break these bolts of steel, For Howard marks, and feels our woe.
ANECDOTE.
A person in company the other day said, he thought it very singular that vessels from Great Britain to Ameri- ca made such very quick voyages at this season of the year. A citizen replied, that he was not surprized at it, for it appeared to him that this country had been drawing nearer to Britain since the adoption of the treaty, and of course the vessels would have shorter passages.
THAT BEAUTIFUL HORSE CALLED
