The commander in chief has inexpressible happiness in communicating to the officers, seamen and marines of his majesty's ships before Cadiz, that an action was fought at the mouth of the Nile, on the first, second and third of August, and under the blessing of God and the intrepid conduct of the officers and crew of the squadron under the orders of rear-admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, knight of the Bath, a most signal and GLORIOUS VICTORY was obtained over that of France, as will be the best seen by the number of their ships taken and blown up, as follows:

MINUTE OF FACTS
Stated in the Dispatches to Lord St. Vincent. The French transports ran into the Nile, and Buonaparte landed with only a few days provisions on hand, with about thirty eight thousand men, two thousand having been cut to pieces on attempt to land at Alexandria, where they expected a passive reception.
The crew of the Timeleon, when the ship took fire, attempted to save themselves on shore, but were all cut to pieces. The L'Orient's people were in part destroyed in the same manner, and blown up, only a few escaped, perhaps into the woods to starve.
The French fleet, at the time of the action, had only five days provision on board.
[We further learn by Mr. Yates who came passenger in the America, and who was favored by Admiral Jervis himself with the official particulars above related, that none of the transports were destroyed, having probably run up the bay of Rosetta into shallow water, and that nothing certain had transpired to unravel the future projects of Buonaparte, whether he meant to settle down in Egypt, or whether he call his wishful eyes on the distant shore of Mangalore. His situation at best appeared to be hopeless—his armed ships captured or destroyed, his transports blocked up, and his retreat cut off—his provisions nearly exhausted, and a supply precarious at best, if not unattainable; and above all, pressed on every side by hordes of Saracens, too barbarous to be worked upon even by French delusion.
The forebodings of the invader must forcibly assure him that the despoiler of Italy and the conqueror of Egypt will never be united in the same man, and that he has, fortunately for the world, perhaps, left the channel of Britain to perish on the banks of the Nile.]
We very confidently assured our readers, some weeks since, that Buonaparte's fleet had met with a defeat, and that the French government, by their "gag laws," had endeavoured to stop the circulation of the news; but that admiral Jervis, as soon as the winds of the Mediterranean would admit, would receive and transmit the official account to England, when the world would soon be informed of the grateful event.
The ship Mount Vernon, of Baltimore, left Batavia previous to the 23d July, for Tanquebar.
A stated meeting of the American Philosophical Society, will be held at their Hall, on Friday evening the 23d instant.

ADDRESS.
To the PRESIDENT of the United States.
Edenton, 4th September, 1798.
SIR,
WE, the Officers and Soldiers of the Regiment (Militia) in the County of Chowan, in the State of North Carolina, being this day assembled in general muster, and naturally feeling on the critical situation of our country, which may, ere long, require our services in the field, avail, with alacrity, of favorable an opportunity to express our sentiments of the present important crisis which we have the pleasure to assure you are unanimous.
Well knowing the advantages and blessings of Peace and how essential it is to the welfare of a country to preserve it with all nations, we approve of the measures which have been taken for that purpose with respect to France, and which we anxiously hoped would be effectual; but we have seen with regret that our Government treated with contempt: Not only one Envoy rejected with ignominy and disdain, but more solemn embassy of three not suffered even to negotiate, and a miserable attempt made, after vainly trying to reduce them to the meanest compliances, to divide them from each other, and carry on a delusive show of negotiation, for the purpose (as we solemnly believe) of effecting divisions in our Country, and deceiving it (if it could be weak enough to be deceived) into an inactivity of preparation suited to their machinations against us, but fatal perhaps to our country forever.
We have no reason to believe that our Government have been in any fault, (and are perfectly convinced that it has not been so intentionally); in as it magnanimously, and with a noble sense of duty, offered a fair dismission of this subject, and reparation if any injury had been committed, we consider the treatment our Public Ministers have received the highest indignity that could be offered to your country, the most open defiance the common sense of mankind ever yet exhibited, and a decided proof that the Directory were conscious that their conduct would not stand an investigation, but that they possessed Jews which they dared not show.
We have read, Sir, with peculiar satisfaction, your liberal and wise instructions, and are satisfied you could not, without dishonor, have carried your concessions further.
In this situation, therefore, insulted as our government has been, (a government of our choice, and therefore peculiarly entitled to our protection), extensive as have been the French depredations on our commerce, and as no hope remained of Justice by peaceable means, we highly approve of the measures taken in support of that Sovereignty and Independence, of which we should deem ourselves unworthy, if we hesitated for a moment to resolve to risk every thing in their defence against all attempts, whether foreign or domestic; and we rejoice that the exertions of our country in this great conjuncture, are to be conducted under the auspices of a Statesman who has so eminently entitled himself, by a long display of illustrious talents, and the most conspicuous virtues in public and in private life, to that confidence which the present arduous situation of public affairs indispensably requires.
By order, and in behalf of the Regiment,
RICHARD BENBURY,
Brigadier General.
ANSWER.
To the Officers and Soldiers of the Regiment of Militia in the county of Chowan in the State of North-Carolina.
GENTLEMEN,
YOUR unanimous address at Edenton of the fourth of September, has been transmitted to me by Richard Benbury, Esq. your brigadier general. After a solemn embassy of three envoys had been denied an opportunity to negotiate, the miserable attempt to divide them from each other, and carry on a delusive show of negotiation, for the purpose of effecting divisions in our country, was too mean and contemptible to impose upon the credulity of any true hearted American. I rejoice in the opportunity of congratulating you, on the ill success of that wretched artifice, both with the people of America and with the envoys, who are now all happily returned to their country.
(Signed)

EXTRACTS FROM ENGLISH PAPERS CONTINUED.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 20.
Within these few days the Proclamation has been made public, which Buonaparte issued in the Arabic language, on his landing in Egypt. The following is a faithful translation of it:
"In the name of God, gracious and merciful.—There is no God but God; he has no Son nor associate in his kingdom.
"The present moment, which is destined for the punishment of the Bays, has been long anxiously expected. The Bays coming from the Mountains of Georgia and Bjars, have desolated this beautiful country, long insulted and treated with contempt the French nation, and oppressed her merchants in various ways. Buonaparte, the General of the French Republic, according to the principles of liberty, is now arrived, and the Almighty, the Lord of both Worlds, has sealed the destruction of the Bays.
"Inhabitants of Egypt, when the Bays tell you the French are come to destroy your Religion, believe them not: it is an absolute falsehood. Answer those Deceivers, that they are only come to rescue the rights of the poor from the hands of their tyrants, and that the French adore the Supreme Being, and honor the Prophet and his holy Koran.
"All men are equal in the eyes of God: understanding, ingenuity and science, alone make a difference between them; as the Bays, therefore, do not possess any of these qualities, they cannot be worthy to govern the country.
"Yet are they the only possessors of extensive tracts of land, beautiful female slaves, excellent horses, magnificent palaces! Have they then received an exclusive privilege from the Almighty? If so, let them produce it. But the Supreme Being, who is just and merciful towards all mankind, wills that in future none of the Inhabitants of Egypt shall be prevented from attaining to the first employments, and the highest honors. The administration, which shall be conducted by persons of intelligence, talents, and foresight, will be productive of happiness and security. The tyranny and avarice of the Bays have laid waste Egypt, which was formerly so populous and well cultivated.
"The French are true Musselmans. Not long since they marched to Rome, and overthrew the throne of the Pope, who excited the Christians against the Professors of Islamism (the Mahometan religion). Afterwards they directed their course to Malta, and drove out the unbelievers, who imagined they were appointed by God to make war on the Musselmans. The French have at all times been the true and sincere friends of the Ottoman emperors, and the enemies of their enemies. May the empire of the Sultan therefore be eternal; but may the Bays of Egypt, our opposers, whose insatiable avarice has continually excited disobedience and insubordination, be trodden in the dust, and annihilated!
"Our friendship shall be extended to those of the Inhabitants of Egypt, who shall join us, as also to those who shall remain in their dwellings, and observe a strict neutrality; and when they have seen our conduct with their own eyes, hasten to submit to us; but the dreadful punishment of death awaits those who shall take up arms for the Bays, and against us. For them there shall be no deliverance, nor shall any trace of them remain.
"Art. 1. All places which shall be three leagues distant from the route of the French army, shall send one of their principal inhabitants to the general, to declare that they submit and will host the French flag, which is blue white and red.
"Art. 2. Every village which shall submit to the French, shall host the French flag, and that of the Sublime Porte, their Ally, whose duration be eternal.
"Art. 3. The Sheiks and principal persons of each town and village, shall seal up the houses and effects of the Bays, and take care that not the smallest article shall be lost.
"Art. 4. The Sheiks, Cadis, and Imams, shall continue to exercise their respective functions; and put up their prayers, and perform the exercises of religious worship in the Mosques and houses of Prayer. All the inhabitants of Egypt shall offer up thanks to the Supreme Being, and put up public prayers for the destruction of the Bays.
"May the Supreme God make the glory of the Sultan of the Ottomans eternal, pour forth his wrath on the Mamelukes, and render glorious the destiny of the Egyptian nation!"
DUBLIN, September 22.
Instructions have been transmitted to gen. Hutchinson, commanding a force of 1500 men at Callbehar, to act in the most vigorous manner against those rebels, who, notwithstanding the defeat of their allies and the destruction of their friends, still continue to distract, by their depredations and outrages, the northwest parts of the county of Mayo.
Guards have been this day placed on the several bridges leading to the county of Wicklow and its vicinity to prevent any of the rebels who may be chaced out of those parts by the military now scouring the country, from effecting their escape through this city.
This day gen. Lake is expected to set out for the county of Wicklow, in order by a system of decisive and persevering measures to accomplish the reduction of Holt and the disgraceful banditti who have hitherto kept alive the rebellion in the county of Wicklow.
Wednesday a poor inoffensive man named James Miley, was seized by a party of the Wicklow rebels, as he was saving his little crop of hay on the lands of Mergaltown, and placed against a wall by the merciless villains, who fired at him and lodged three balls in his head.
The county of Wicklow is still subject to the depredations of Holt's and Hacker's gangs. Some days since a party of those desperadoes, well mounted and armed, consisting of about 50, not content with having before carried off the flock, and many things of value from Ballybeggs, (the property of the rev. Richard Symes) returned there so early as five o'clock on Sunday evening, having heard that some yeoman corps were stationed there to protect it and the adjacent country, and in a few hours reduced to ashes, with the greatest part of its furniture, that ancient and respectable mansion—the family residence upwards of a century.
Wednesday night a banditti, composed of about 40 of Holt's miscreants, penetrated into the neighbourhood of Cellbridge,
and committed the most wanton depredations on the property of several industrious and peaceable inhabitants. Amongst those who suffered, Mr. Cruise of Ardrey, and Mr. Peppard of Bankstown, have been plundered, not only of cash and provisions, but also of furniture and cattle.
September 23. At twelve o'clock this morning Teeling was brought into Court, pursuant to an adjournment from Thursday. He read his defence, which occupied three folio pages.
It commenced, invidiously as many Lawyers have asserted, with implied suspicion of the jurisdiction of the Court, eminently calculated to labour under, with the superior chances he might have if tried by the Civil Law. The main point of his defence was, however concise, merely stating, that having been bred in France, through a native of Ireland, he entered early into the Republican army, where he attained to some rank; that at the time the last French expedition to this country was projected, he was at Rochelle, where he received orders from General Humbert to join the destination embarkation with all possible dispatch; refusal he thought it his duty to comply, as a man, but stamp his name with infamy. He advertised, as an extenuating circumstance, to the humanity of his conduct since his arrival in Ireland, as appeared by the testimony of his Prosecutor; and concluded with the usual ceremony of reliance on the justice and mercy of the Court, and some personal compliments to the Lord Lieutenant.
He was adjudged Death, though not formally, until the sentence is sanctioned by the Lord Lieutenant.
LONDON, September 25.
The French according to Buonaparte, in his Arabic Proclamation, are true Musselmans. All their hostility to christianity and its professors, we may therefore conclude to have originated solely in a desire to establish the religion of mahomet at Paris.
The Beguiers, mentioned in the action stated to have taken place between Admiral Nelson and the French fleet, is a corruption by the French of the Italian word Bicchiere, being the name given by the Franks to several hills on the coast to the east of Alexandria, from the resemblance they bear to glass tumblers reveried and so called ever since the Crusades. This coast has no harbor, but an open roadstead, as described by the French, and indeed the only place where so large a number of transports could ride in any safety, as the winds are invariably during the summer soeelse, that from N. to the 15th of June to September, from N. to U. E. and N. W. being the Etesian wind mentioned by Herodotus, as blowing in that period 100 days.
The Dutch Gazettes, and also letters from Amsterdam of the 12th inst. received on Monday, mention that an engagement had taken place between the English and French fleets in the Mediterranean; and that Admiral Nelson had arrived in Naples Bay with eight sail of French ships. He is said to have dispatched the Leander, of 50 guns, with the news to Lord St. Vincent.
So decided and deep is the court of Naples in its hatred to the French, that the French papers say, a great number of natives of France have been forced to quit the Neapolitan territories. "It is only," says a Parisian journalist, "through friendship for Spain, and a remnant of regard for the emperor, that the blow against Naples has not yet been struck. But our troops are advancing towards her frontiers, and will be able to invade her territories upon the first signal."
An embargo has, by order of the French directory, been lately laid on all the principal ports of the republic: in consequence of which general Sir Charles Grey dispatched orders to every regiment stationed in the district under his command, which have been since publicly read by officers at the head of every troop and company. The orders are very long, but their chief purport is, for the troops to hold themselves in readiness to march at the shortest notice and as free as possible of all encumbrances, beyond a necessary change of linen, &c.
The drought at present is so great in France, that they have desisted in Paris from watering the streets, and the rivers are in many places said to be dry.
The original plan of the French for invading Ireland was, to send three squadrons to sea at one and the same time—one from Rochefort, (which got clear of our cruizers, and after being seventeen days at sea, landed General Humbert and his banditti at Killala); a second was to sail from Dunkirk; and a third from Brest.
This afternoon, Messrs. Aubrey, Delarue, and Ramel, late Members of the Legislative Bodies in France, and transported from that country with General Pichegru and Barthelemy, were brought to town from on board the Nimble Cutter. These gentlemen were taken late in the evening to the Duke of Portland's office, and from thence to the Alien office, in Down-street, Westminster. General Pichegru at present has apartments at an Hotel in the Adelphi.
Baraguay d'Hilliers and Capt. Bergeret were arrested immediately on their return to France, and are now confined in the Temple.
From a Paris Paper.
A curious experiment was made not long since on the Seine, at Paris. Twelve soldiers entered the water in order of battle, and with the aid of a machine, which embraces the body, they traversed the Seine with great celerity, and after having drawn up a platoon on the opposite bank, they re-entered the river, and in the middle of it set up a fire of musketry well sustained, and charged with bayonets, though they had under them at least 21 feet of water. Besides the weight of the men, this machine will carry a burthen of five myriagrammes,

without making. The inventor is Citizen Mangin, Adjutant-General with the Minister of the Interior.
NAPLES, August 12.
A Letter from Florence, dated August 21, says, According to letters from Naples, the French Charge d'Affairs has given in a note to the Neapolitan Ministry, in which he protests against the admission of the English fleet into the harbour of Sicily, and declares it will be considered as a breach of the treaty of peace. French troops are continually on their march towards the Neapolitan frontiers.
The King of the Two Sicilies has this day issued the following Proclamation:
"The great alterations which within these few years have taken place, both in the political situation and in the organization and tactics of the military force, have induced us to turn our attention to the re-organization of the army and other military force of the country, in order to provide for the defence of our States and the protection of the lives and properties of our subjects. In this view we have from time to time adopted measures to bring the royal troops to that degree of perfection which they are capable of. The absolute necessity of augmenting the power of the State, and (what is much more urgent) since the Italian States, our neighbours, have assumed a hostile appearance. The States of Barbary, too, have in a particular manner, since the late occurrences at Malta, doubled their audacity, which must excite well-founded apprehensions for the safety of our kingdom. In order therefore to oppose a powerful barrier to the attempts which either one or the other of those powers may make against our States, it appears necessary to augment the regular force in Sicily, which appears particularly threatened. In order therefore, to oppose an invincible barrier against all attempts, we have deemed it necessary to declare by the present Edict, that all males in our dominions are born soldiers, and are bound to take up arms in defence of our holy religion, the crown, and their own life, in case these sacred objects should be attacked by barbarians, or any other hostile nation. In consequence of this principle all our subjects from the age of 17 to 45, are to be considered as if they had been enrolled in the different corps of the army, and if circumstances require, they must join the corps for the performance of actual military service. We, ourselves, as well as our Royal Highnesses our son, are comprehended in this enrolment, and we shall be the first to sacrifice our lives in defence of our Religion, the Monarchy, and our Country."
This edict was published on the receipt of a courier from Naples. Every thing depends, therefore, upon the issue of the disputes between the court of Vienna and the French government. If Austria continues at peace we also may expect tranquillity.
VIENNA, September 5.
It is now asserted that prince Repnin will not have the command of the Russian army which is on its march, but that it will be given to prince Ferdinand of Wurtemberg. The adjutant-general of his imperial majesty, baron Vincent, has been sent to meet the Russian troops, and accompany them thro' the Austrian Hereditary States. At the same time a considerable Russian corps, under the command of field marshal Suwarow, will march into Turkey to restore tranquillity there; while another army of Russians, in conjunction with the Turks, will be employed against Buonaparte.
FRANKFORT, September 11.
Notwithstanding all the alarms of war of the last week, we are now very quiet. The French remain as they were, and are principally employed in raising contributions and requisitions. The artillery is gone back to Weisburg. The troops which had been assembled at several points have likewise marched back; the head quarters are still at Friedberg. The number of French troops collected on the Upper and Lower Rhine, is estimated at 100,000 men.
LONDON, September 27.
The Paris papers having been the first to give an account of the battle between the British and French fleets, and that intelligence being confirmed by another account received from our minister at Constantinople, does away all doubt of an action having taken place. Mr. Smith, having the best means of information, would not deceive our court, or be himself deceived; he must have had the most positive belief of the fact before he transmitted it to government; and administration must have had an entire reliance upon its truth, before they published the intelligence in the shape of an official bulletin.
The following, which is an extract of a private letter from Constantinople, dated Aug. 27, seems to give a more minute account of Buonaparte's landing in Egypt, than any we have before received: "It is said he Divan had been previously informed of the French intending to invade Egypt, yet by many of its members this report was deemed a mere fiction, invented to disturb the good understanding which has so long subsisted between the Ottoman Porte and France. Their astonishment was therefore extreme, when they were officially acquainted with the French having actually effected a descent near Alexandria. The particulars of this event are as follows: "The Toulon fleet, having for some time cruised in the Archipelago, appeared before Alexandria, and the French demanded to be received as friends. The Musselman, who commanded in that city, made very strong remonstrances against their projected landing, endeavouring to convince them that any attempt of that kind would be considered as an attack on the right of Sovereignty of the Grand Seigneur, on the privileges of the country, and on the tranquillity and safety of the inhabitants. But all his remonstrances proved fruitless: the French landed in different places about 22,000 men, notwithstanding the resistance made by the Egyptian troops, and the inhabitants of the country."
"Two days after, the French intending to occupy a post to the right of Alexandria towards Rosetta, they were surprised by a corps of about 6,000 Egyptian horse, and some thousand foot, commanded by a Bey who enjoyed the reputation of a brave and gallant soldier. The engagement lasted a few hours, and the Bey was forced to retreat with considerable loss, though the French suffered likewise considerably; and their loss was more severely felt, as they were unable to repair it. This action convinced Buonaparte of the sentiments of respect entertained for him by the Arabs, and by the Egyptian troops. He called a council of War, the result of which was, to advance beyond Rosetta, and to entrench himself about 10 or 12 leagues from that town, on the banks of the Canal which leads to Cairo. In this position, he issued a proclamation, and endeavoured to set on foot a negotiation with the Beys, who, however, peremptorily refused to treat with him, but insisted on his re-embarking his troops, and quitting the dominions of the Grand Seigneur."
"In this situation were the affairs of Egypt on the departure of the last accounts received from that country. "In our city we hear of nothing but war, though no declaration to that effect has as yet been issued by our government. The most vigorous warlike preparations are, however, made both by sea and land. Under these circumstances, the French Charge d'Affairs, as well as the other French citizens residing here, keep at home, lest they should be insulted by the mob."
"The Hamburg mail has brought an article of information, which though not of the very first importance, is nevertheless a very curious production, a proclamation issued by Buonaparte, which is a master piece of revolutionary hypocrisy. This general last year professed the utmost respect for the Pope, though at the same time he robbed him of his dominions; he now declares "that he honours the Prophet and his holy Koran," at the very moment that he invades the country inhabited by his most zealous followers, and most fervent disciples. But so far from his hypocritical proclamation having made the least impression on the Turks, favourable to the republican adventurers, the most vigorous preparations are made throughout the Turkish dominions to check their further progress. It is therefore undeniable that he finds himself in an hostile country, where he is likely to meet with obstacles far more numerous and insurmountable than he expected."
"It will be recollected that gen. Buonaparte previous to his quitting Italy, gave a Constitution to the Cisalpine republic. The French Directory, it would seem, is now resolved to take advantage of his absence to destroy his work by the agency of M. Trouve the Directorial Envoy at Milan. The constitutional party of the Legislative Body has sent gen. Lahoz to Paris to oppose the innovations intended by Trouve, who in a letter to the Directory, has denounced the manoeuvres of the ambassador, and complained of a handful of Russians holding regular meetings in the house of citizen Trouve. Instead of receiving any sort of sanction, Lahoz was ordered to quit Paris within twenty-four hours."
"Lucien Buonaparte, at the head of the anti-directorial party in the Council of Five Hundred, has eloquently defended the work of his brother. On a late motion of order, he founded the toison , against the dispositions of Government, which under the specious name of reform , evidently strove to bring on ruin . He said, the French constitution itself was threatened with similar innovations, by the Directory, and on the point of being overthrown in the same manner. Almost all the members demanded that his speech should be printed; but the devotees of the Directory succeeded in causing the council to be resolved into a secret committee, in which Buonaparte's motion was disposed of by the order of the day."
"From all the recent proceedings of the Ottoman Porte, it may be considered as having virtually, if not formally declared war against France. Among other acts of hostility, it is stated to have issued a Firman, forbidding the several Commandants in the Archipelago to admit any French ships of war or transports into the ports of that quarter."
"The great part of the Austrian military force in Bohemia has been ordered to advance, as their place is to be supplied by a part of the Russian troops on their march to the frontiers of Russia. It is added, that all the places through which the Russian troops have passed, and where they have stopped, bear ample testimony to their good behaviour."
"It is to the credit of our vices, that they do not proceed to the same extent as the intelligence from France respecting Admiral Nelson's victory. The French state, that their fleet has been engaged and destroyed; the British minister at Constantinople, brings the history down to the burning of one large ship; — we are to suppose, that the French have added the remainder of the narrative, for the purpose of representing themselves as more weakened, more disgraced, more beaten, than they really were? Certainly, no."
"By accounts from the Continent every thing is agreed upon for the Supreme Government of the Catholic Church at the death of the present Pope. As soon as that event takes place, the Italian, German, and Hungarian Archbishops will be declared Cardinals, and will proceed to the election of a new Pope. It is thought that the choice will fall upon the Archduke Maximilian, Elector of Cologne. The funds at Paris have risen of late under an idea that the period of a general peace is not far distant."
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 11th instant states, that another Russian squadron composed of seven men of war, is arrived in the Baltic, and has cast anchor in the bay of Kioge.
The Posenia Gazette says, that prince Repnin had gone from Dresden to Vienna, to negotiate a passage for 60,000 Russians, through Galicia, and Austria, to unite with the Austrians on the frontiers of Switzerland. Several Russian regiments had already arrived in Galicia.
The report in the last French papers of a Negotiation for Peace being on the tapis between Portugal and France, is corroborated by the intelligence received yesterday from Hamburg. (Times.)

It is high time for the people of America to open their eyes to the machinations of the most daring set of villains that ever infested civilized society.
The United Irishmen of Europe used as a pass-word the mythical term, Elphinstons , containing the following horrible oath—
E very, L oyal, I rish, P rotestant, H eretick, H, S hall, M urder, A nd, T his, I, S wear.
When we see similar schemes already introduced amongst us, distinguished from those of Ireland, only by greater daring and atrocity, it is time to awake, — lest whilst we sleep, THIS DAGGER CUTS.
Down with the United Irishmen! Down with these Foreign Counter-Revolutionists! Down with these men of Blood!
COMMUNICATIONS.
Citizens of Philadelphia.
A Meeting of the United Irishmen has been announced yesterday through the medium of Mrs. Bache's paper — it is therefore asked what can be the intention of a meeting so designated? Is it for the purpose of forming plans for the introduction of a system into this country, by which similar associations have ruined that of their birth — a system too which would have brought some of the leading characters in this society to the Gibbet, had they not fled from thence and found an asylum here? But it is unnecessary to ask what their intentions are — their object is evident — Acting, in as much as they can, under the intrigues of France, for which no doubt some of them are well paid, and fine promises made to others, they unite in efforts to favor the wicked designs of that nation of plunderers, of reducing us to the wretched state of the unfortunate Geneva — the views of their brethren in Ireland were the same.
American beware! Look upon these United Irishmen, whatever appearances they may put on, even with Cockades in their hats, as so many serpents within your bosom. I know many of them, and I know their sentiments to be inimical to our happy government — I know also that, if ever they have an opportunity, they will be ready to join your enemies in plundering you of your honest and well earned property, and to subjugate you to the greatest tyranny that has ever scourged the world. I mean France; and this I say from the knowledge I have of some, and the with of the whole of them, to peel from our own country — what then can we expect from them here? Be convinced of these truths, Philadelphia, and keep a strict watch over United Irishmen — be persuaded that they are your enemies — they talk loudly of their attachment to this country, but believe them not; it is only a mask to cover designs formed against your rights and liberties, which they will throw off the moment they can attempt with any degree of safety to carry their plans into execution — as the United Irishmen in Ireland have done. A Loyal Irishman.
MR. FENNO, AS the Loyal Irishman in your paper of yesterday has given the Mythical meaning only, of the Pals words of the Right Boys or United Irishmen , you are hereby furnished with the offenſible meaning with which they impose on novitiates.
SAOIRSE ACH OF AUGHT, Means Free, but, like the word notorious , it is for the most part used in a bad sense; for it also means Baleness and Licentiousness .
CODRA MACH OF AUGH, Means a Ruffian, a Clown or a Leveller, or Equality.
CODROMACHA, Means an Uncivilized, or a Brutal Wretch — From the words compounded, are made the pass-words of yesterday, and by a change of two or three Letters only, will be found the Dublin Sign and Counter-sign , CODROMACH & SAOIRSE AUGHT. An Irishman.
A certain Jacobin happening in company with several gentlemen, last evening, was exulting at the good luck of Buonaparte in getting safe to Alexandria, and pointing out with great perspicuity the facility with which he would get to the Red Sea, when he was interrupted by a fervant hanging on your Gazette of Monday which one of the gentlemen on calling his eye over, exclaimed, that the French had actually got to the Red Sea. I told you so; I told you so , said the Jacobin to let us have it. Read on, read on , but alas, how great was his confusion and disappointment on learning that it was the Red Sea that Admiral Nelson had souped the poor devils in.

It is said, that while General Pinckney, with his lady and family, were in this city on Monday last, on their way to Philadelphia, Doctor Logan happened at the same Inn with them; and that the General, wishing to expedite his journey, had proposed, in the hearing of Logan, to take the stage, and leave his family to travel on at their leisure; when this fellow, Logan, the late illegitimate, spurious, or bastard ENVOY to the French Republic had the unparalleled effrontery to offer the General a seat in his carriage.
