PRIVATE COR R Es PONDENCE.

DUBLIN, JULY 91.
Perhaps at no former resiod was Dublin so thin
of inhabitants as at present. The ci:izatits seem an-
xious to indemnify themselves for the disappoint-
ment they suffered in consequence of the insttr..ec-
tion last summer, and have hurried Liu tl:e iin•
try with augmented numbers, and increased avi-
dity. Of course you must suppose the late rumours
of an intended rising have not made any stroi.

ainee have us with a larger supply of

and illaaaed. They have, I understand, made a
1:•.:oher of cuts from the Cit' -water Course to the
!Slack Bogs, which lie in the interior of the County
of Wicklow ; and this is the pare source front which
we are to be supplied in future. :Ile Graee-dei-
ger in Haruki says, a tanner will last you nine
years." This remark, I understand, struck some
of the members of the corporation as founded
it, good sea,e, and confirmed by experience,
who have since struggled, with laudable anxiety,
to procure the Citizens a beverage which might
unite all the tanning qualities in high perfec-
tion. 'They have at length succeeded. Bi water
being strongly impregnated with the bark of dc.
cayed trees, is astringent, antiseptic, and an excel-
lent bitter after repletion ; sometimes operating as
an emetic, frequently as a cathartic, besides it is
purer than spring, river, or canal water ; for, as
neither fi.b, frog, nor reptile, can live in it, it is not
liable to be polluted by their sexual intercourse, or
other animal fundions

tranquillity arising from their private conventions,
and rendered always neuter by the effett of their
geographical situation. On another, a tacit confe-
deration, formed under the banners of Prussia, fol-
lowing the movements of that Power, looking to it,
though, like Hannver and the Hanse Towns, often
in vain, for proteflion, and, like that power, always
temporising. In a third class, are found Sovereigns,
on whom the Court of Vienna has more influence
than that of St. Cloud, or who are independent in
their determinations, and solely guided by the in-
terest of their States, or the duties imposed upon
them as Members of the Empire; but they unfortu-
nately constitute the minority. These differences
appeared in 1799, at the Congress of Rastadt, and
are now again clearly to be seen at the Diet at Rd•
tisbon. This division, and this isolation alone con-
stitute the weakness of Germany and the strength
of France, so much so, that, offensive or defensive,
the system of Europe is no longer in its power.
At the point to which the German Empire has suf-
fered things to arrive, it is Bonaparte, as head of
the French Revolution, who decides the common desti-
ny.We shall, therefore,have Peace or War, as it suits
his convenience: according to the calm or agitation
which shall prevail in the interior of his Republic ;
according to the murmur or obedience of his army,
and the riches or penury of his treasury ; according
to the occasion he shall have of diverting the atten-
tion of an in:mit-al, vain, and fickle people, with
fetes and triumphs, which serve at once to amuse,
to enslave, and to terrify them. In short, a deplor-
able truth exists, that it is in rain for Europe to be
at peace with the revolutionary French Government,
for it never will be so with the revolutionary spirit,
which is more independent of the Governments,
than the Governments are of it.

A most singular boss nature has been produced
by a cat belonging to a person in Carlisle. 'flit
head, which is nearly twice as lame as in an ordi-
nary kitten, has the lower j.tw divided in the midst,
and each division contains an entire untie. From
the breast, the body branches out into two parts ;
each of which *sadly resembles the lower parts of
a proportioned cat. consequently, it has eight legs,
two tails, and two tongues. This natural pheno-

Wednesday, at Marlborough-streor office, &hos
and Frnme, journeymen boot-mrkers, u-dei 'sent an
examinaton charged with menacing and irritating the
moh, on Monday evening, at the house of I kis tv,
a closer, in Henriecia-stree., Manchester-square.
HEALY 'wore, that when his house was beset by
the mob, he observed the Defendants peculiarly
alive among them, and that he distintly beard
them say, after QUIGL EY, a closer, had been dread-
fully hart, " We now want Hits I.v, both he and
Qum; tv should be torn in pieces, and the house
should be pulled down where such Government in-
forming rascals live." He was obliged to shut up
his house for personal security, but the mob re-
mained for upwards of an hour, and he saw the
Defendants particularly alive until they were dis-
persed.
The statement was corroborated by two others,
who saw the Defendants present, prior to Quigley's
ill treatment, and who heard them repeat what has
been stated above.

The Defendants denied the whole of the c!iarge,
except that they were brought thither by seeing .1
mob.

The Magistrate remarked, that if the charge was
as satisfaciorily made out before a Jury as before
him, the Defendants would meet the most severe
punishment, and he held them in substantial bail.

PRECF:ZrER.

A second experiment was made on Wednesday,kd
the utility of this invention, which met with the most
complete success. Six persons, having fist girt
themselves with the machine, jumped overboard off
Parliament Stairs, above Westminster-hridge, and
went down gently by the tide to Blacktriars'-bridge.
A groat number of boats surrounded them, as %%ell
to says them in case of danger, as fram a desire to
witness the experiment ; but every thing went on ex-
tremele smooth awl well. It was curious to ob-
serve six heads and shoulders in a perpendicular pos-
ture, Walking, as it were, through the waters, quite
still, unless they wished to change their direction,
which a small paddle or two 1% ith their hands, which,
as well as their legs, are pettedly at liberty, will do.
The machine is extremely simple ; it is made .if
strong sheet cover, hollowed, and strongly soldered
together, in eight different pieces, conneded with
straps ; it is laid on the chest, and rolled up over the
breasts, the whole fastened with straps that go over
the shout tees, and are secured to the belt that goes
round the chest. The divisions of the machine,
though of a different shape, partake of the
qualities of a cistern hall, to float on the water,
and when the whole is fixed on, it is not unlike a
horse's collar in shape, bat much larger in proportion.
It it very simple, almost instantly put or., and it ap-
pears to us will be of incalculable benefit in enabling
persons attending lift-ioatt, (-moth, Ste. who ran
4riao, to remain Z considerable time in the water
without tiring ; and, by its buoyancy, to assist
others. who ...vow swim, that may be in danger of
drosveing.
A great number of spedators, both afloat and
ashore, apt ared highly pleased with the experi-
ment, to v:hiLit the fineness of the day not a little

" The 1?,..ye G.-orge had one man killed, and an-
other wounded ; many shot in her hull, and more in
her sails ; but few shot touched either the Camden or
Ganes, and the fire of the enemy seemed to be ill
direfted, his shot either falling short, or passing
over us.

"Capt. Timins carried the Royal George into action
in the most gallant manner. In justice to my bro-
ther Commanders, I must state, that every ship
was clear and prepared for aetion ; and as I had
communication with almost all of them during the
two days we were in presence of the enemy, I found
them unanimous in the determined resolution to de-
fend the valuable property entrusted to their charge
to the last extremity, with a full conviaion of the
successful event of their exertions; and this spirit
was fully seconded by the gallant ardour of all our
officers and ships compunies.
" From Malacca, I dispatched Lieut. Fowler in
the Ganges brig to Pulo Penang, with a packet from
the Selea Committee, to the Captain of any of Ills
Majesty's ships, soliciting their convoy to this very
valuable fleet.

" On arrival at Malacca, we were informed that
the squadron we had engaged was that of Admiral
Lineis, consisting of the Marano of S 4 guns, the
Belle Polite and Semithvdt, heavy frigates, a cor-
vette of .2.3 guns, and the Batavian ft igate,
of 18 guns.

" The 28th of February, in the Streits of Ma.
laces, lat. 4 deg. 30 min. N. we fell in with His
Majesty's ships Albion and Sceptre. I was then in a
very poor state of health, and Mr. Lance went on
board the Aliion, and, by his very -able representa-
tion to Captain Ferrier, of the great national conse-
quence of the Hon. Company's ships, he was induced
to take charge of the fleet.
" Oa the 3d of March, I dispatched the Ganges
brig with a letter to the Right Hon. the Governor-
General, giving an account of our anion, to be
conveyed to the Hon. Court.

notice, that on Monday neat, he should move for
the produ&ion of the paper► to which he had re-
ferred.

The Archbishop of Publin's Palace Bill was read
a third titre and passed.
Mr. ROSE said, that in consequence of what had
passed, o* a former evening, respeding Memiscrs ap-
pointed to certain offices in the Duchies of Corn-
wall and Lancaster, whether it were neces-ary that
they should vacate their seats and be re-elefted, he
had been looking into the Journals, where he found
several instances, which bore him out in thinking
that the A.c.t of Queen Anne did not apply to such
appointments. If no doubt were entertained by
any Hon. Gentleman on the %Mica, he should thidk
that such Members as held offices in such Duchies,
might continue their seats in Parliament with safety
to themselves, andwithout any need to be re-eleißed.
Mr. BANKES said, that for aught he knew to
the contrary, the Member to whom the Hor. Gen-
tlefnan alluded, might continue to hold bis seat,
without any itisslation of she Aa of Quemt Anne;
but still he thought it better that the Hon. Meru-
be.r should bring forward a Motion on the subjea,
which would aff.ird the House an opportunity of con-
sidering it, rather than that the present silence of
„the House should be cor.stnied into, an approbation
of the lion. Member alluded tn, retaining his seat
untie the circumstances mcnti sned.

Mr. ROSE, then gave notice, that on Monday
neat he should bring forward a Motion oil the sub.
jeil. He added, that the Hon- Member, whose si.
tuation hr referred to, held the Office of Judge of
the Common Pleas for Cie Duchy of Lancaster.

weigh, and cants oat to endeavour to annoy the
boo to ; but Ail the other ships and vessels of the
squadron were so well placed as to give chace to
them immediately ; and it was only by cutting
away tlseir buts, which were a-stern, and retreat-
ing very speedily into shoal water, that they escap-
ed, but not before they had run the gauntlet of all
the ships and cutters, and were very closely en-
gaged for a considerable time by the Merlin, Fa-
vourite, Locust gun-brig, aid Hope cutter ; and on
this occasion I teel particularly indebted to the ex-
ertions of Captains Brenton and Foote, and Lieuten-
ants Lake and Dubbin, whose vessels were very
often during the :Rion in very shoal water, with a
falling tide ; indeed nothing but the bad sailing of
the Merlin prevented Captains Brenton from cutting
off the sternmost brig.
The Locust lost her main-topmast, but I have not
heard of any other loss. The conduct of the Cap-
tains Sykes, James, Paul, and Beauchamp, com-
manding the bcmbs on both these occasions, was
highly meritorious ; and although their ships were
frequently struck, it gives me great pleasure to add
that no lives have been lost. What damage may
be done to the enemy by near fire hundred shells
and carcases• thrown into the town and hason last
evening, and this morning, it is impossible to calcu-
late; but I may without vanity say, that if the ex-
ertions of the enemy's flotilla he not much greater
on our shore, than on their own, we have little to
dread from them.
I cannot conclude without expressing my obli-
gations to every officer and man employed in this
squadron. I am, &c.

" Even in a political view I proved, that this horrible act
would neithrr proem:: tranquillity to France, nor safety to Eu-
rope. l'oe difference is great between the military despotism
seised by an Usurper, supported by accomplices, by victims,
and by terror and the lawful monarchical authority inhetited
by a legitimate Prince, with the national will and wishes for
age,. The latter never dies; but history of all times evinces,
that the annitination of the former is on the point of the sword
of a rival, or in the pois mous cup of an enemy. Napoleon
Bonaparte may reign ; hut was his progeny ever so numerous,
he will leave an posterity behind him, and his dynasty perishes
with him, because France has within her bosom many other
Generals, equally ambitious, audacious, and ferocious, who
will never respect a rank to which they have equal right with
Napoleon, and superior claims to those of his children, brothers,
and nephews. Until, therefore, your Majesty as.:ends the
throne of your ancestors, my unfortunate countrymen will
only fight fee the choice of their tyrants, and my degraded
country experience nothing but an intermittent and incurahl,
,anarchy, extending its ravages, tormenting and undermining
civilised society m every part of the globe My humble re
monstranees and representations wer:, liow.,ver, as ineffenive

Pius VII. goes to France, and trul religion is equally threatened

happiness of being consistent and faithful to my invariable
doctrine, in laving at the feet of your Majesty my usual and
.unchangeable allegiance and homage ; I am also well aware of
the imminent dangers to which such an honourable profession
exposes me. But, S av,already,frosn age, on the borders of rterni-
ty,some days longer existence in a world, where crime promeis
arid virtue millers, are of no value to me, at the expellee of the
dictates of my conscience. Submitted with resignation to the
will of Providence, I sin prepared to meet death, either in the
dungeons of the Temple, in the wilds of Cayenne, in the
wood of Vincennes, or at the Place de Greve. I shall expire
as I have lived, with the grin and consoling hope of inhabiting

A ploughing match took place on Mr. Kinnear's

eight ploughs started, and the first premium was
adjudged
To Peter M'Nicoll, servant to Mr. Lauder, Randerstrm.
The second to Henry Storrier, servaut to Janet Hunter,
Esq. of Seaside
The third to William Allison, servant to Mr. Charles II tin-
ter, Dron.
The fourth to James Thomson, servant to Mr. Rot
E.:isson, Manic of Errol—and
The fifth to Thomas Smith, servant to M. James 111:I,
Pitcogie.
The weather was very favourable. Many ama-
teurs of agriculture were present. who were highly
gratified with the emulation among the competitors.
The countenance given to this, the first ploughing
match in this part of Scotland, afford.; a well-
grounded hope, that the laudable design of the
Perth and Forfarshires Agricultural t;iciety, to in-
cite a spirit of improvement among the ploughmen,
will be fully canted into effeß.

It is reported in France, but we believe without
authority, that Count MARCO,? has fAllen into dis-
grace with the Emperor of IlusstAg and has been or-
dered to his estate in the country.
One of the greatest curiosities in the neighbofir-
hood of Fontaiableau is a monument, of which Na-
ture duly has been the architeFt. It is a tree, com-
monly called Bouquet du Boa. This tree, which is
one of the finest in Europe, does not be,urcate, or
shoot out any branches until it reaches the height of
forty feet. It raises its head ahr.ve all its neigh-
bours, with a noble dignity, and seems a magnifi-
cent Corinthian column.

It may, withtruth, be observed, that there is no pro-
minent trait in the charafter of Bov AP • R Tv, which
re.embles any thing to be fou.od among 'he heroes
recorded in the civilised ages of antiquity . He has,
however, evinced a boldness and deci,ioo, -nrnewhAt
ciimparable to that of THISIMS. I Iv: sc. I. Cs, and
PER ET II Eous, but very differently applied indeed.—
Furthese personages direeled their valour and prowess
against the oppressors of innocence and the perpetra-
tors of injustice, against the monsters who delighted
in trampling on wcakness,and torturing mankind. But
if BONA PA RT E were to shrw hi; bravery against offen-
ders of that description, he must turn his sword no
most of his own favourites—el he were resolved to
destroy the greatest monster that ever civilised Eu-
rope has, or that perhaps has ever, afiliaed and dis-
graced humanity, he must commit suicide.

ST. AFRA.

The remains of St. Afra were lately found at
Augsburgh ; she had been a Priestess of Venus,
in the ages of Pagan idolatry, but embraced the
Chiistian religion, with her three maids. A fes-
tival was instituted at Augsburgh, on the disco-
very of her remains, which lasted eight days, and
ended on Sunday, the 49th of last month. During
that celebration, the skeleton of the Saint was
publicly exposed in a glass case, for the veneration
of the Roman Catholic believers. Some devout
Ladies of Augsburgh had presented the Saint with
large diamond rings, golden chains for her neck,
and a silver crows) of laurel covered with pearls,
for which they rook receipts, enabling them to
reclaim their pres:.nts, in case that Patroness of
the Bislioprick of Augsburgh should be at any time
secularised. During the feast, there was an im—
mense concourse of people from the neighbour.
hood, particularly from Bavaria ; at least one
hundred thousand people came from ten to twenty
houts journey. The great silver offering-dish,
which was placed before the glass-case of the
Saint, filled so rapidly with the donations of the
devotees, that the Monks were obliged to empty it
several times in a day. A sermon was preached
every day, painting in the most glowing colours
the heroic martyrdom of that great sinner (since
she was a Priestess of Venus before her conversion),
the miracles she had hitherto performed, and the
great benefits she had conferred, for these fro)
years, upon the city and bishoprick of Augsburgh ;
lamenting, at the same time, that the Protestant in-
habitants could not enjoy her efficacious interces-
sion with the Almighty. A Papal indulgence was
affixed to the porch of the church, promising for-
giveness of sins out of the treasure of grace of the
Church, for two hundred days, to all the faithful
who should confess their sins, take the sacrament,
and earnestly pray to God for the eradication of
all heresies. A very produdivecolledion was made
among the Boman Catholic citizens, to defray the
expences of the feast ; and a superb sarcophagus is
preparing to preserve the bones of St. Mrs next
year. 1 ather Placidus Braun has omitted, in the
recond edition of his treatise on the life and the ads
of St. Alra, the passages which were offensive to
the Palatino-Bavarian Government. and to the Pro-
testant Citizens of Augsburgh. The Lutheran in-
habitants of that city fared very well by the feast,
since the assemblage of so many people employed
every trade.
