LONDON, AUGUST 2L, 1803.

Tit e Malt unpleasant reports respeeling Ireland
were yesterday afloat, which by the Mail arrived
this morning we are happy to find are not altogether
confirmed. In Dublin, though the Inhabitants arc
daily alarmed with rumours, tranquillity happily
continues to prevail, though the Rebels arc so
daring as to fire at the Sentries in its vicinity. In
the Counties of Wexford, Wicklow, Kildare, and
Meath, great alarm prevails ; but we hope the
vigilance of the Military will overawe the dis.
affefted. It is in vain to conceal, however, that
all the private Letters received from Ireland for
the last week are full of serious apprehensions.

We arc happy in being able to announce the ar-
rival of the Jamaica Fleet in the Downs. Some
of them, aft we before stated, were dismasted in a
gale of wind off the Western Islands.
By the Queen Charlotte Packet arrived at Fal-
mouth from Jamaica, we are happy to learn of the
capture of a French Frigate, of 4.8 guns, and two
Corvettes, by a Squadrop under the Command of
Cummudore BAYNTUN•

We received this morning the Moniteuri of the
17111 and 18th inst. The latter contains an article
from Amsterdam, dated so long ago as the 16th
July, which states that Citizen SCHIMMItLikN.

Government. This circumstance was mentioned
some time ago, but from the manner in which it is
now mentioned in the.Alon;teur, we may consider
it as a measure finally determined upon. The Naval
