A Dublin Paper, of the 17th. contains the follow-
ing paragraph upon this sulijeet :-
4, We have been this day inf.:mei, from a source
on which we tan place the frin,t rebanre. that
within these eight days (a period considerably sub.
sequent to any connected with the reports which
appear in the last London Papers) hour's army,
0,000 strong, was so far advanced on its route
to P.;rtugal, that the Geitieman from whom we
have received our information. and who traversed
a vmsiderable part of the southern provinces of
France on his return, says, he has no doubt what-
ever, but that it is at dm moment 5.1 putuioit tf
Pa:Oval.
" It is unnecessary to add, th it all communica-
tions in business or pleasure was at a stand.—
Confidence had totally disappeared. and a general
alarm pervaded every department of the State and
of the people."

We have received &mon Papers to the 25th last.
The accnuats from Richmond state, that Col. Ikea
has been tried and acquitted of the misdemeanour
imputed to him ; but the Counsel, oo the part of
Government, have signified their intention to have
him tried again in the place where his military en.
peditinn is said to have been completed. The con-
chs& of the American Government in relation to
Colonel Boa a, betrays a great deal of weakness.
It now lank, not like justice but persecution, and
must eventually gain hint a degree of popularity
which he never could have acquired by his talents,
however considerable. conchs& upon his trial
forms a contrast whh that of his prosecutors. Beini
An able lawyer, he took an adive part in his own
defence, but he comported himself with firmness,
temper, and moderation. On the part of the pro-
secution, however, we fiat, that even before his
apprehension, the examinations of General EA-eon,
and of all the other witnesses against Lim, were
published in all the American newspapers ; and the
prejadice excited was so general and B'3 strong.
that it was not nnta after several days of difficulty
and delay that a Jury was sworn. Of the first
pannel returned, out of persons, 45 were chip
longed and set aside, having declared an opinion,
from the evidence thus prematurely published, that
Cot. BURR was guilty Of High Treason, and ought
to be hanged. On the trial, too, we find the wit-
nesses assuming the tone, temper, and feeling of
advocates, indulging in declamatory philippics
against the Prisoner, and availing themselves of
every opportunity to mark their dislike of the
man and we do not find the Court ever inter-
fering to awn the dignity of justice, by restain-
in.; this disposition oi the witnesses. He has
been twice tried and 'twice acquitted I first for
Hign treason, and secondly for a Misdemeanour,
both growing nut of one and the same offence. He
is now to be tried a third time ; and should he he
a:Tsitted, we may venture to foretel, that he will
be one of the most formidable subj-Ets that ever ex-
isted within the United States. We stated in a for.
mer paper, that the Americans are greatly afraid of
the Indians on the side of Canada. A Quebec
Pa-
per, of the iilt of last month, asserts, " that the whole
of the Indian nations have offered their services to
the British Government, in case of a war with the
United States."

kere Otroon Steil harping upon my
daughtet !" l ht ilvramg Veil, of yesterday, asserts,
that the Ministry, in their Lite Proclamation, have
made a 101ICAIIi01 to Awe; ica; and The Saa, a fellow.
labourer in the Ministerial Vineyard, as positively
asserts, that they Lave not made a eeeci.;:icie. Tee
See is palpebly wrong, and has s:arccly advanced
the position, before it adduces, in the same article,
the most letisfedlory argument to ovet tut n it. The
right of farribly sear:hing ships of w.ir is the great
point in question ; and Ihe Sal asserts, that it the
dis:ussions with America should be potraiaed, And
things take an unfavourable turn, there is nothing
in the Proclamation to p . Government from
recurrinz to that preitice. Tne meaning of this is,
that Government has only relinquished their right,
for the time being, to keep the Americans is good
humour, du:ing the nerciatirin; hut it it be a I

and if it be abandoned only for one hoar, sew
temporaryabeadonenent is so tar a .weenie.
this is not all tor if the negociation trrrniiiate

ever ; so that. in fall, it is m temporary concessic
become permanent upon a certain contingelc;
indeed The See Very Mlitdlelly acids, flirt 'h.!:
