[The Scot's-Irishman is really sorry, that he could not accommodate the language of this song to the delicate organs of those for whose use it is designed; but indeed they must blame the perverse obstinacy of the Muse. He represented to her the fine musical sense of the people for whom the song was to be wrote, and begged of her, for once, to exchange her barbarous pronunciation for the softer tones of a more cultivated language, that her "canna's" and "dinna's" were become quite intolerable; but the testy little Scots Gentlewoman grew angry—called him "senseless coof"—"witless gowk," and "gilly-gaps"—she said that she had sung her songs in her native dialect to far better folk than him or his fine-eared Jacobins, to whom, she supposed, he now intended to make his court; she called him "faulie, ungratefu' tyke," that had it not been for her "barbarous pronunciation," and her "intolerable canna's and dinna's," his name would not be known six miles from his cabin, but now it was spread all over the country, and bye and bye it would get into a book, and be, perhaps carried all over the continent.—But, readers! you all know how an enraged lady will go on, when her vanity is hurt. The Author attempted several times to interrupt her and at last when she paused for want of breath, he again remonstrated, but to no purpose: the gale stormed, and flatly told him, if he took not the song in the language the chose to give it, he might want it.—Unaccustomed as he is to female brawls, what could the poor poet do?—He took up his pen, and quietly submitted—And he is sure, that numbers of the good people for whom this song is intended, who are married men, will applaud him for his prudence.—He has, however so far prevailed with the cruel Lady, as to give the song a very sweet air, which he hopes, will, in some measure, atone for the harshness of the words.]
A NEW SONG
FOR THE JACOBINS, BY THE SCOTS-IRISHMAN. TUNE—"John Anderson my Jo." O LIBERTY's a braw thing! As France has found o' late, To pu' doon a' the gentry, An' tramp upo' the great! To level a' distinction, An' turn things heels owre head! Then you or I, or Rob or Tam May be, might get the lead. The State that's settled down in peace, Is like a braw green tree, That grows upo' a river's bank, As aften we may see; The wind, that thro' its branches blaws, It does na mind a fig, Nor, tho' the rain upo' it fa's, It winna budge a peg. But twa-three Chiefs wi' axes, Sae they're flou an' clever, Can soon this braw green tree cut down, An' throw it in the river; Syne, when its on the water gat, How merrily it gae's doon! An' o'ny ciel, wi' little skill, May turn it round and round. Then, lads, let's take our axes, An' slash wi' might an' main, There is nae other way, I fee, We liberty can gain, For, while the State stan's on its roots, We've naething but its fads. An' we'll ye ken baith roct an' branch For our sole use were made. Our bawling out again the laws Is but like wind an' rain, Frae which the sturdy State-tree Does aye mair vigor gain: But, lads, let's tak our axes, For it's ay getting higher, An', gif we canna find it short, We'll cut it doon for fire. O Liberty's a braw thing! As France has found o' late, How, in a fumml, they owerst The King, the Kirk, an' State! An' just like auld dead carrion, On which a hungry dog did prey, An' ev'ry filthy raven! An' here, my lads, I dinna doubt, But w'd hae dainty pickings, An', we'll I ken, there be some fo'k, Wha now their lips are licking. Syne, let us to't wi' heart an' han', An' doon wi' the auld bigging! We'll mak' a new ane in its stead, Wi' a braw five-faced rigging. There is but ae thing in the way, An' that's the b' executive; This pillar, lade, we maun ding down Tho' its baith clanch an' sleeve. But, gif I choose to speak my mind, I'd tell ye in a crack, Where we could get a furry ebiel, Wha wad a Samson act. O Liberty's a braw thing! As France has found o' late, Whare a' the folk, like horses wild, Did frae their teathers break. But, by and bye, the flat'ring grooms, Their bridles on did slip, An' now upon their backs, like de'ils, They ride wi' spur an' whip.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.
VIA NEW-YORK.
LEGHORN, Dec. 10.
The people are most generally discontented at the conduct of the Neapolitans. The commander of the garrison, D. Diego Nafelli, banishes not only the Republicans, but likewise the Tuscans. He orders all couriers to be stopped at the gates, opens the letters, and allows those only to pass which he thinks proper.
PARMA, Dec. 19.
The king of Sardinia arrived at Placentza at three in the morning of the 17th, with a train of twenty carriages and three chariots, escorted by a hundred and twenty French hussars, and eighty Piedmontese dragoons, who were the French cockade. He set forwards yesterday for Borgo San Donnino, and he passed through this city about two this afternoon. Our Duke has paid him the highest honors.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 9.
Several large detachments of cavalry and infantry continue to traverse night and day such of our departments as are still infested with rebels. These are particularly the departments of Ourthe, of the Lower Meuse and of Dyle. The troops are obliged to watch all night, notwithstanding the severity of the weather. They have lately destroyed a band of the rebels, who defended themselves with much fury: and in other partial actions have made a number of prisoners.
The greater part of the army of Mentz, encamped on the left Bank of the Rhine, had received orders to repair to Belgium, there to remain until the end of the present troubles. These orders, however, have been countermanded, and these troops are now on their march to Italy through Switzerland. A great number of deserters continue to arrive at Coblenz from the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein. According to their reports, the garrison has plenty of flour, but is in want of every other article. Every three days an half pound only of salt meat is given to each man. They feel most severely the want of wood at this inclement season.
PARIS, Jan. 25.
It is said that Spain is making great preparations for war, and that she is meditating an expedition to retake the island of Minorca, of which the English made themselves masters, at the expense only of a few shot. The Prince of Wales packet, which sailed from London the 15th Nivose, carried out an order to Lord St. Vincent, off Cadiz, to detach two ships of the line to join general Stewart. Dispatches were also sent to Gibraltar. It is said in London that these dispatches probably relate to an expedition against Majorca. The facility with which they took Minorca makes them conceive the hope of easily taking the other.
We are still ignorant of the fate of the agents of the Republic who were at Naples before the last hostilities; but we at length know what were the orders which a court as blind in its fury as it was extravagant in its enterprises gave concerning them, immediately after the declaration of war.
They were exposed to the insults of a fanatic people; they were loaded with opprobrium; they were forced to hear the menaces of the most worthless, and what was still more affecting, the imprecations which these contemptible men threw out against the Republic.
Such was their fate during the 24 hours which was granted them to embark. They did embark—Their destination was for Genoa, but they have not yet arrived at Genoa, nor at any other port in Italy. If they had been delivered up to the ship of the enemy, we should have heard of the vessel which carried them being taken. What is become of them then? Have we a new injury to avenge—a new crime to punish? Time, and that time not distant, will disclose the truth.
7 Pluviose, Jan. 26.
The garrison of Mantua has received a reinforcement of 3000 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 succours both from the emperor 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.
There was a new piece came out at the Theatre in the city, entitled Les Irlandais Unis. It was crowned with applause. There were some well written scenes and full of effect.
The minister of the marine, in a speech which he made to the officers and people of the dock yards on the 21st, said, that though the French navy had not shared in the glories of the French armies, it was about to do so. Its turn is coming. The creative regards of the directory are turned towards the ocean. Vengeance is preparing herself against the cunning English. Naples promises us a new arsenal. In a few days Sicily will become the granary of Malta. In a few days the Mediterranean will be cleared of the auxiliaries of the perfidious Ferdinand. The minister concluded with a declaration, that he would speedily give to the French navy the means of revenge.
Gen. Berthier, with Buonaparte's young-officer brother, is arrived in Corsica. He comes to concert measures with the directory.—Buonaparte still remains master of all Egypt. The 70 millions levied by the king of Sardinia, on Ecclesiastical property in Piedmont have been sequestrated by order of the French commandant at Turin.
The French government having complained that the Batavians continued to supply the English with provisions, the directory of that Republic has proposed to prohibit the exportation of salted and smoked provisions.
Letters from Brussels state, that armed bands of insurgents still make their appearance, but the Republican troops are in pursuit of them. A number of persons suspected of being concerned in the late troubles have been arrested.
LEGHORN, Dec. 17.
On the 28th November in the afternoon, after Leghorn had surrendered, Admiral Lord Nelson went on shore, and was received with the loudest marks of applause by the people. The number of Neapolitan troops then amounted to 4000 men, and 7000 more were expected. In the harbour of Leghorn there was a Genoese merchant fleet, consisting of 70 sail, under convoy of a xebec, and which, according to letters of the 3d instant, it appears the British Admiral treated as prizes. The Genoese Consul has protested against this act; and the Tuscan Government has promised redress.
An armament consisting of 4000 men has sailed from this place, but the destination of it is unknown.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3.
An official communication was this day made by the Divan to the foreign Ministers resident at Constantinople, that the English Commodore Hood, who had for some time blocked up the harbour of Alexandria, had sent a number of gun-boats, furnished by the Ottomans, against a strong fort erected by the French near Aboukir, upon which they had mounted a vast number of cannon for the protection of the shipping and the port, when the French having been compelled to evacuate their position, the Commodore put a sufficient garrison into the fort; shortly after which the Governor of Rhodes sent to him several thousand troops, which obliged the French to retire in various other directions, when the Turks took a position that effectually prevented Buonaparte from communicating with either Alexandria or Rosetta. Buonaparte had been obliged to fall back towards Alexandria, in want of provisions and ammunition, and harassed by constant attacks from the Arabs.
CORK, January 16.
The corporation of this city has at length stepped forward in opposition to the city of Dublin, and has avowed its wishes for an Union of the two countries in the most decided language. The address to his majesty is conceived in the following language:
To the King's most excellent Majesty.
"May it please your majesty, "We, your majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the mayor, sheriffs, common council, and commonality of the city of Cork, in the court D'Oyer Hundred, assembled, beg leave most humbly to approach your majesty with sentiments of the most affectionate attachment to your royal person and family, and the most confident reliance on the wisdom and firmness of your majesty's government."
"While we contemplate with the deepest concern the unprovoked rebellion which has manifested itself in different quarters of this kingdom, and the treachery which invited a foreign enemy to its shore, we cannot repress the warmth of our gratitude for the parental anxiety manifested by your majesty, to protect us, and the prompt and affectionate zeal with which our sister kingdom poured forth the flower of her nobility, and the most chosen of her sons, to restore quiet to the land, and to repel our common and inveterate foe."
"We listen with heartfelt gratification to any measure tending more closely and indissolubly to connect two countries which seem relatively situated for their mutual support, and which none but the enemies of each could ever with to divide."
"Convinced that the most beneficial effects must result to the empire at large from such a connection between this kingdom and Great Britain as will terminate all speculations on their separate interests, and afford additional strength and security to each by the cordial and energetic co-operation of both—we beg leave most humbly to address your majesty as our common parent, and to declare that we bear with the utmost satisfaction, that an union between the two kingdoms is at present within the contemplation of your majesty's ministers—and as your majesty's disposition towards your kingdom of Ireland has ever been gracious, munificent, and just, we feel confident that on the present occasion her liberties and her interests will be carefully considered, and anxiously preferred."
"Done under the common seal of the city of Cork, at the Guildhall thereof, the 15th day of Jan. 1799. "Philip Bennett, Mayor. "Abraham Lane, } Sheriffs. "Isaac Jones, } "Thomas Pope, C. S."
An address, couched in similar language, has been addressed to the Marquis Cornwallis, who returned in answer—
"That he should have great satisfaction in transmitting to his majesty the loyal and affectionate address of the City of Cork; which at a juncture so critical, and upon a subject so desirable, as the further consolidation of the mutual and permanent interests of Great Britain and Ireland exhibits an unanimous desire to further a measure which may terminate all future speculation upon their separate interests."
Waterford, Limerick, and other Commercial towns are expected to follow the example of the City of Cork.

BOSTON, April 13.
Mr. Russell.
WE present you the following extract of a letter from Capt. James Freeman, late master of the brig Diana, armed with 6 4 pounders, and 14 men in all. We think it a handsome specimen of American bravery, and that it does great honor to Capt. F. Yours, L. & C.
Malaga, Jan. 26, 1799.
GENTLEMEN,
"I am sorry to inform you of our misfortune: However, I have done all that any man could do to save your property."
"The 22d day after I left Boston, I fell in with the ship Industry, Capt. Goodwin, and kept company with her until the 25th of Jan. then parted off Ceuta. The next morning early, I saw two privateers coming out from Malaga, who passed by us—then tacked ship and followed us. As soon as they got within reach, I hoisted my colours and gave them a shot from my weather quarter: They immediately hoisted French colours, and both gave me a shot, and got direct astern. I then cut my stern ports down to the deck, and got my two longest guns out astern. In the mean time they had fired the second shot, and had got quite near me. I then commenced firing my stern chases, and the second shot I cut away the jib and half the foremast of the largest privateer, which caused them to drop a little farther astern and we all continued firing from 9 o'clock till 12 and their guns being so much larger than mine, they kept cutting away my rigging, when I could scarce reach them. By this time I was becalmed, and saw another privateer coming ahead, and fired a 12 pound shot at me, and thoe astern, taking advantage of the calm with their oars kept in such direction, that I could not fire a gun—neither did they until they came within musket shot, when they gave me a charge of grape and musket shot, which cut away my main-top sail yard, jib, and fore-topmast stays, both top gallant sheets and halyards, so that they are all hanging overboard. I fired my muskets once, and finding resistance useless, hauled down my colours; being then about 4 miles from land, and 8 from Malaga. I fired my stern guns about 40 times, and two windward ones about 10, and it is the most surprising thing, that they killed none of my men, tho' we received above 300 shot into our vessel."
"The first boat that boarded me had one brass 9 pounder, and four 3's, and 40 men, of which I killed two and wounded six—the second was a small one of only one gun and 4 twivels—the third was a privateer of nine guns, one 12 and eight 8 pounders, and 60 men."
"I dare say you have heard of the capture of your schooner, Capt. Griffe, long before this. As I cannot justify Capt. G. for giving up your property to such a boat, with a pretence that his men would not fight therefore I shall say no more about him."
"I am your obedient servant, "JAMES FREEMAN."
This Griffe commanded a schooner armed with two 12, and four 3-pounders, 2 large twivels, small arms, pistols, cutlasses, boarding nettings, and every implement that was necessary to defend his vessel, with 13 hands, and was captured by a boat that laid mounted 2 guns, and which he himself took for a fishing boat, as appears by his protest.
