BOSTON, March 2.
TUESDAY arrived here the Mercury Packet Capt. Sampson, from France, but last from an out port, as mentioned in our last.
We congratulate our readers upon THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION IN IRELAND, in defence of the rights of their trade, of which the following is a general account, taken from a paper printed in London, called the Courier de L'Europe , of October 22, 1779, brought by Capt. Sampson.
The Parliament of Ireland met on the 12th of October. The Earl of Buckinghamshire, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who is much in the good graces of that nation, opened the session with a soft and soothing speech, mentioning his Majesty's tender regard for the safety and happiness of his subjects in that kingdom; complaining of the inadequateness of the public supplies; and inviting an augmentation of them.
The Commons having returned to their chamber and the speaker in the chair, Sir Robert Dean rose, and made the usual motion for an address of thanks, Mr. Richard Hely Hutchinson seconded him, and made a very laboured panegyric upon the blessings Ireland enjoyed under the best of Kings, and the best of Administrations . Mr. Grattan replied He drew a striking picture of the distresses and oppressions of Ireland. We have nothing said he, to expect: No regard is paid to the sufferings and petitions of the people; Ireland has nothing to hope for but from its own firmness and spirit. What! Shall the Commons of Ireland have less spirit than the body of the people? Are we so degenerate, as to be so despicable, as to be too afraid of the censure of England to attend to the cries of our famishing manufacturers? He then made a motion for an amendment to the address, representing to his Majesty the distress of the kingdom, and the necessity of opening a free trade, and leaving Ireland to enjoy unrestrained, the Rights and Advantages which Nature had given it.
Lord Westport seconded this motion for an amendment. He recommended the appointment of a Committee to enquire into the state of the nation, and finished by declaring that Ireland could be saved only by an unlimited trade . Mr. Oyle made a second enumeration of the grievances of Ireland, in which he was very severe on the embargo, and the duplicity of the British Ministry, in that and other instances, whose promises could never, he said, be depended on.—Mr. T. Flood, declared against an inquiry, and hoped the day was not far off that would bring relief to the kingdom.—The Recorder spoke not long, but with great spirit & boldness: Let us, said he, put firmness into our language and conduct: There is no room for inquiry and delay: Now is the time to take our measures against that Ministry, who having lost America, have embroiled and distressed this kingdom by their infamous system of politics.—“I vote, said he, for the amendment,—Sir Edward Newenham, said, let us speak with an open heart, if we mean to help our country: Let our address be conformable to the exigencies of the day. Is there a man within these walls that can justify the conduct of Britain to this country. Is there a man that can lay his hand upon his heart and say, unless he has abjured the interest of both Kingdoms, that these Ministers have sustained the honour, or provided for the safety of either of them? Have they not added insult to contempt. The man who
originated our present troubles, stands upon the infamous lists of the pensioners you now pay: His name is FRANCIS BERNARD; a name fatal to the honour and to the safety of Great-Britain.
The tyrannic system of this man, tending directly to slavery, and therefore, agreeable to the Ministry, was adopted by them; entirely swallowed up by their horrible contest with America, they have totally neglected the preservation of these kingdoms. Our friends in England have pleaded for us. I am obliged to them, but do not relish this manner of proceeding. WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT NATION; we have separate parliament, and separate courts of justice; why should we supplicate the favour of another parliament to give our commerce a just extent? Let us see if there be a minister hardy enough to stop the course of our own bills. Let us pass them, and they will have their effect. We are not minors; we have no need of a cruel step mother to take care of us, nor will we repose ourselves on the insidious promises of a jealous sister. If England will not revoke her cruel restrictions, let us revoke them ourselves, by not obeying them. Ireland, I repeat it, is an independent nation, and cannot submit to the insults of any other country. Many other members spoke; all the difference seemed to be not about the substance, but the mode of the amendment, which some chose should be in soft Terms. It was at last made to stand to the following purport: ————— “We beseech your Majesty to believe, that in the present situation of affairs no temporising measures can preserve this nation from destruction; and that the only way to save it is to open in all its ports a free & unlimited trade. This amendment passed. It is easy to discern the effects it will have? and the speculators who arranged the union of the three kingdoms, imagining Ireland might be swallowed up in the vast bosom of the mother country, are now found to have been deceived.
The next day the Address, with the amendment, was read and approved in the House of Peers.—Another was read, designed for the Lord Lieutenant, which was not at all, we may suppose, more flattering to his Excellency, and which passed unanimously. On the 14th, the two Houses adjourned to the 1st of November. Immediately Mr. Henry Flood set out for England, commissioned to bring the Court of London to digest this hard amendment. It is not to be doubted but Ireland will soon enjoy an unrestrained commerce, and lift up its head among the most powerful nations in Europe. We leave it, continues the publisher of the Courier , to writers who are under less restraint than we are at present, to trace the circumstances that led to and compleated this revolution. They cannot forget the associated volunteers who appeared in arms, and engaged in military discipline. These companies have saved Ireland. Under their protection the Commons dared to speak in the language of an independent nation; and voted their solemn thanks to the companies of the associated volunteers. They amount to near 40,000 men; and we may look upon all the men in Ireland, capable of bearing arms, as now belonging to these companies. The Duke of Leinster, and Lord Shannon, are the principal officers who appear at the head of these free associations; and indeed they make no secret of the matter—for on the evening of the 13th, the Duke of Leinster dispersed through all parts of the city the following
Esq; his Secretary, went passengers, arrived at that port from hence after an agreeable passage of 18 days.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Sept. 28. “As to France and Spain they are doing what they can to bring Portugal into the war, and England is interested to keep her in peace, to which she is very much inclined. It remains therefore to be seen which party will prevail, and which side Portugal will take in case she is obliged to enter into the quarrel. To avoid extraneous terms to be her present place.
important revolution.—Thus the independence of these States, and the flors of our Allies , have prepared the way for the freedom of Ireland.
Wednesday 23rd ult. Capt. Tralh arrived at Newbury-Port from Corunna, in Spain, by whom we have advice, that the frigate L'Sensible, on board of which the Hon'ble JOHN ADAM'S, Esq; Ambassador from Congress, and the Hon. FRANCIS DANA,
All the volunteers, that is to say, all the inhabitants of the city of Dublin, appeared at their head, and rendered military honors to the authors of the GLORIOUS ADDRESS.
[The combined fleets of France and Spain, by hovering on the British coast, and engaging the attention and arms of that nation to their own defence gave a plausible occasion and a fair opportunity to ripen other matters necessary to this
invitation, in form of a circular billet.
“His Grace the Duke of Leinster earnestly desires you would appear to-morrow, with all your accoutrements, precisely at half after twelve, at Leinster-House, to form a double rank in the streets, through which the members of parliament are to pass to the palace of the Lord Lieutenant, to present his Excellency the address relative to a free trade ”

NOWICH, Feb. 15.
Accounts from the grand army, as late as the 6th inst. indicate some important movement to be under consideration.
Late intelligence from New York reports, that only about 2000 troops remain in the city, commanded by General Tryon; Clinton, Cornwallis, & Knyphausen, having gone with the embarkations from that place: That the sufferings of the inhabitants were truly great:—That the cruelties exercised towards prisoners, bare a resemblance to those exhibited by Britain in the East Indies--And that considering the movements which have of late been made, it was the general opinion a final embarkation would take place in the spring.

PROVIDENCE, February 19. Extract of a letter from a principal Merchant at Gottenburg, dated October 15, 1779, received by Capt. Crawford.
"By an American vessel lately arrived at the neighbouring free Port of Marstrand, I have been favoured with the Firm of your House, in consequence of which I take the liberty of addressing to you this letter, and to make you a tender of my best services in this Part of the world.—The extending of commerce, which every Merchant must have in view, and the immense field for speculation which the glorious Independence of America opens at present, make me bold to presume, that commercial business might be transacted between your country and this to mutual advantage. Being a native of Sweden, I think myself equally a judge thereof, as I hope to have it in my power to effectuate whatever plan may be struck out to promote it, and at the same time to deserve the confidence of those who may think proper to honor me with their friendship and correspondence.—Permit me to suggest to you a few observations for your government; Sweden consumes large quantities of Tobacco, Indico, Rice, &c, which hitherto have been imported directly from England. Swedish exports which would answer for an American market, in my opinion, are iron in bars, wrot ditto, wrought brass and copper, steel, wire, nails, sail cloth and cordage, all kinds of India goods, particularly tea, china, silks, &c. What other European goods might be wanted, could easily be collected at Marstrand from the neighbouring countries. The port of Marstrand is conveniently situated for distributing the products of America to Sweden, the Baltic, Germany, Holland and England, and the providing the products of all these Countries to furnish returns to America.—Ships can enter and sail from Marstrand at all seasons of the year. This town is situated only 12 English miles from Marstrand, & no place in Europe is preferable to it for purchasing of Teas, both with respect to price and quality."
[Gottenburgh is a trading town of Sweden, with an excellent harbour, in the borders of W. Gothland, near the entrance of the Moludal river, in the W. Sea. It is regularly fortified, having two citadels on the land side, and a citadel on the sea side, for its defence. It is the See of a Bishop, and contains 13,000 inhabitants. In 1731 an East-India company was erected here. Its navigation is considerable, as ships can sail from thence to all the sea ports without the Categat, and not be obliged to go through the Sound or Baltic. It lies 228 miles S.W. of Stockholm, and 164 N. of Copenhagen. Lat. 58, 29 N. Long. 11, 36 E.—Marstrand is a very old Staple. Town of Bohus Lehn, in Gothland, in Sweden, with an excellent harbour, to which is an entrance on the south and north side, and defended by the impregnable citadel of Carlstein, Busching.]
PHILADELPHIA, February 3.
By a gentleman from Charlestown, South Carolina, we are informed, that Capt. Millegan, who left Havanna about the first of December and arrived at Charlestown, reported, that a packet had arrived to the Governor of Cuba, with an account that the Spaniards had taken possession of Pensacola, where they had made 900 British prisoners, besides Refugees. Capt. Millegan also reported, that an expedition was forming at the Havanna against St. Augustine, and all the vessels lay at single anchor ready to put to sea, at the shortest notice.

Extract of a letter from an officer in high command, dated Charlestown, Dec. 10, 1779.
"By the last accounts from Savannah, we learn, that the enemy are quiet, and, for the sake of an airing, they have encamped their troops at several plantations, at the distance of ten miles round, the furthest from town are at Abercorn. They are fitting some transports for sea."
"Before this reaches you, you will doubtless hear, that the Spaniards have been up the Mississippi, and possessed themselves of the English settlements on that river, and that they made 900 prisoners; that about the beginning of this month they left Havanna with a respectable fleet with 4000 troops, for Pensacola or St. Augustine, perhaps both. This the enemy affect to disbelieve and are not reinforcing these posts; but hourly expect the troops from New-York."
FEBRUARY, 16.
Extract of a letter from York, in Virginia, dated the 1st of February, 1780.
"By express just arrived, we learn the fleet which lately left the Hook is gone to Augustine: They sent a flag ashore at Charlestown with prisoners. Five French frigates are off Charlestown bar, and the enemy have evacuated Savannah on a certainty, by a second express late last night."
BALTIMORE, February 8.
A gentleman who arrived here a few days ago from Georgia, informs, that Gen. Leslie had arrived at Savannah from New-York, and had superseded Gen. Provost, in the command of that British post. The last mentioned General, it was said, was to proceed to Augustine to take command there, an invasion, on the part of the Spaniards, being apprehended.—Our informant adds, that the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, Assembled at Augusta, had chosen the Hon. GEORGE WALTON, Esq; their Governor.
FISHKILL, February 10.
The conditions on which Congress have consented to make peace with the Indians, are, —"First, that it should be supplicated on the part of the enemy. Second, that they shall surrender all the Americans in their hands. Thirdly, that they shall expel all British agents and emissaries. Fourthly, that they shall covenant to deliver up such as shall hereafter go among them.—Fifthly, that they shall covenant not to take up the hatchet again, under penalty of being driven from their country. Sixthly, that they shall give hostages for their strict adherence to the promises, to be by them made."
HARTFORD, February 15.
Extract of a letter from Litchfield, February 10. "You have doubtless heard that the house of Caleb Mallett of Washington was consumed by fire last Thursday night, and five persons, viz. Mr. Mallett, his wife, and three children all burnt in it, which was the whole of the family that was at home that night: And this day one Barnet Davenport, (who was a hired man to said Mallett at the time) was committed to our goal, and confessed he knocked Mr. Mallett and his wife on the head, robbed the house, and then set it on fire, and when said Davenport was taken up was clothed in Mr. Mallett's cloathes."
BOSTON, March 2.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman passenger in his most Christian Majesty's ship Le Sensible, to his friend in this town, dated Corunna, December 16, 1779.
"As I know it will give you great pleasure to hear that every mark of attention and respect is paid by foreign courts, not only in words but in actions, to the Americans, permit me to inform you of the reception the Hon. Messrs. Adams and Dana met with on their arrival in Spain: —Mr. Adams and Capt. Chavingoy waited on the Spanish General at Ferrol, who treated Mr. Adams very politely indeed, offering every thing in his power for the accommodation of himself and company, and also invited him to dine the next day,—The French Vice Consul was not only extremely polite, but so very kind as to provide lodgings for us all, which is rather difficult in that town—he also offered every service in his power, invited us to dine, &c. &c. The next day Messrs. Adams, Dana and Family, excepting myself, dined on board a French 80 gun ship. Two days after the French Consul, who resided at this place, paid us a visit at Ferrol, and if possible, surpassed Mr. Vice Consul in politeness and kindness, such as offering and providing mules at this place, and generously advancing Spanish money for our present purposes (for unfortunately it so happened, that all the money the whole company had of the Spanish kind, and none other will pass in Spain, did not amount to more than forty dollars) we are, servants and all, ten in company; he also bore us company the whole time we were here, ordering his servants to provide provisions, and other refreshments, for the way, as none are to be procured upon the road. On our arrival at Corunna, Messrs. Adams and Dana, waited on the Governor, who received them extremely polite, offered every service in his power both in his public and private character—assuring Mr. Adams that he had it in particular command from the King, his master, to treat the Americans with distinguished regard and respect, in consequence of that, the King's fleet, soldiers or any thing else, was much at the Ambassador's services: This morning his excellency, together with a number of other gentlemen, did us the honor of a visit—an honor indeed, such as is very seldom conferred by a Spanish Governor: To morrow we are all to dine with his Excellency, after which we shall take leave, and proceed on our journey to Paris, and may possibly take Madrid in our route, as the distance is not more than one hundred and sixty miles."
Extract of a letter from Lisbon.
"We are obliged to you for your information regarding Capt. John Graos Dua's strand to your city, to reclaim the restoring to him his ship Nossa Senhora de Carmo e'Santo Antonio, which had been contrary to the faith and laws of nations, seized on by a cruizer and carried into your harbour. He is the only instance that we find of the many ships to our Brazill, or elsewhere who met with any cruizers of your country, that has been so unwarrantably seized on; the news whereof, had immediately risen the premiums of insurance on our trade to five per cent,—above the former price, which, by the bye, is an impairable loss, caused by the Captain of that cruizer, for him to lament and atone for at leisure, as he thereby gave cause of surmises injurious to the honor and rectitude of his national Governors, untill we became apprized of the resolution of Congress of the 11 of May 1778, regarding said capture much to their honor, and to the tranquility of our navigation, as the step has been since verified on every other instance of our ships having been encountered by the cruizers of your Congress."
Extract of a letter from an eminent House in France, to the Board of War of this State, received by Capt. Sampson.
"The combined fleets of France and Spain are in the English channel, before Plymouth. We hear that horror and consternation are spread throughout England. All our coasts swarm with vessels, and our troops are embarking to conquer Britain. Admiral Hardy avoids the fight; it is not known where he may be now. Two battle ships of the English have lately been taken, the one of 64 guns, and the other of 50. Vast number of their merchant men are every day captured; four of their East-India ships have lately fallen into our hands. God grant that the vigorous efforts of this campaign may terminate the calamities of war! That peace and tranquility may be restored to France and America; and that the ties of friendship and good understanding may keep long the two allied nations bound together for their mutual defence and happiness."
