Wouidlo God the enemy wciuld forget that tlt2re
is such a country belonging to us: Do the Opp.:
sition really wish that Buonaparte should forget
there is such A country as Ireland ? If they really
• wish theenerity should forget Ireland, why coon ter-
a6l their prayer by their praet;.ces ?—Why throw
oat double-edged hints that cut two Ways 3 that
teli
Buonaparte not to forget his
,fricnds in Ireland, and
ji•iends in Ireland not to, forget I3oonaparte.
Why hold out to the discontented in Ireland, that if-
Hamburgh is oppressed and distressed under there-
gime of France, it is because Buonaparte cherishes
violent prejudices against that city, on account of
its having permitted the arrest of Napper Tandy
Why thus encourage treason and rebellion in Ire-
land by adverting to the vengeance which Buonaparte
takes on those cities and countries who refuse to af-
ford an asylum and proteaion to Irish traitors and
rete is? How much then at variance, must we
peat it, are the prayers and the pradices of the Op-
position ? and how far does the one seem to prevail
over the other ? No, Buonaparte cannot, will not,
forget Ireland." The situation of that country, and
the claims of the Citholics are as present to his
mind, as to that of Lord Grenville or Lord Grey.
So much so indeed, that we should not be surprised
to hear that in Me late correspondence of the
French Government with ours, Buonaparte should
have insultingly observed, that it would not Lie
more unreasonable on his part to propose admitting
the Catholics of Ireland as a party to any .i\e!Joti-
ation than that we should propose admitting the
Spanish Insurgents.—To the sore disappointment of
the Opposition, therefore, the situation of Ireland,
.and the Catholic Question, still live in the heart of
Bnonaparte, nor can he he fairly e:Tected to forget
them, as long as he has C/zronicies and Registers un-
der his eve, or Arthur O'Connor, the quondam
friend of the Opposition, at his elbow.

The EARL of LIVERPOOL.—This venerable No-
bleman died on Saturday last, at his house, in Hert-
ford-street, May Fair. He bee reached the 80th
year of his age. A severe diserder in his bowels
was the immediate cause of his death, which was
probably hastened by the dreadful shock that he had
received a few days before, when Lady LIVERPOOL'S
dress caught fire, and he was too much exhausted
by illness to be able to render her any assistance.—
This Noblemen has been often the ohjeFi of political
hostility, but no man was, thratigh life, more con-
sistent in his public conde&L He was unitOrmly
loyal, and firmly attached tb the British Constitution.
It was indeed impossible to expett that with such
talents, and such steady prieciples, he should escape
the attacks of those who differed with him ; but he
was never betrayed into that violence and asperity
which too frequently attend political discussion. Lt
laa, the Earl of Live:tropes powers were more of
a solid and useful cast than of that shewy kind
which excites popularity, 'and his disposition corre-
spondt4l with the nature of his talents, views,
and acqUiretneuts. What he said was intended to
inform and to convince, not to dazzle and mislead.
In the earlier part
.of his life he was meat inclined to
literary pursuits, and many valuable tracts have issued
from'his pen, which abound in sterling matter; and
whichwe trust will he collected and published together.
They will do honour to his character, and be useful to
his country. His tried attachment to his Sovereign,
during all the agitations of political warfare, and 'all
the conflicts of party, deservedly procured him a
high share in the Royal confidence, because his Ma-
jesty knew that on the Earl of Lry enema. Ite could
rely for those counsels which result from mature
judgment and experience, and that he was a steady
friend to the preroaatiyes which the Constitution has
vested in the Crown. The Earl of LlYettrooe was
as amiable in private • life as lie ‘vas firm arid consistent
in his public conduct: He had occupied several
high stations, and whatever his political adversa-
ries thought proper to say against him, they never
could deny that his knoededge, abilities, and attain-
ments, fully qualified him for the respective offices,
and that he dischareed his duty with diligeneeeand
fidelity: This Nobleman descended from a very re-
spectable family in Oxtbrdshire. He was the son of
Colonel CHARLES JENKINSUN, the second son of Sir
ROBERT JENKINSUN, of Hedington, in that County.
In the year
.1789, his Lordship succeeded, as heir-
male, to all the -.family estates., and to the• title of
Baronet. In the year 1786. he was created Lord
HAWKESBORY, and, in 170, Earl. of LIVERPOOL.
His Lot dship was twice merried„ and has left two
Sens, Lord HAWKISSBURY, who succeeds to his ho-
flours, and the Hon. CHARLES JENKINSON. By tha
death of this Nobleman the offices of ColleEtor of tile
Customs Inwards for the Port of London, and Clerk
of the Pells in Ireland, are now vacant.
A barbarous murder was committed on Tuesday
night last, on the body of John Habbershaw, in his
own dwelling, at Stoke-church, Wilts. The de-
ceased was a farmer, :whose house an attempt had
• been made to rob, about three weeks since, but the
thieves were disturbed, and one of them so badly
wounded by The farmer, that it was with -difficulty
his -.companions- :got him away. At • eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night the, house was again -assailed by
these ruffians, and after locking up the servant in the
closet, they proceeded to a'bed=room where Mr. '
and Mrs. Habbershaw 'Slept,: and with dreadful in"-
precations demanded she drawera in the bed-room to
be opened, which .being done. by 'Mr. Habbershaw,
and the thieves. having got possession of money and
flutes to the amount of 1601. one of them barbarously ,
murdered him with tatlndgeon in the presence of
his wife, .whom They:botand to the bed,„ and de-
camped. It was five o'clock on Wedneiday moue- ,in befixe the: situation. of Mrs. fia.Obei•shaw. alai 1
,the servant was discovered, and peewit was it's- I
mediately made after the ruffians, and a
t>.tan was
apprehended on suspiciou, LIM .oakingLat, -utt
