A contemporary print Rated laft night, on the
authoritrof a letter, dated Dover, that accounts
had been received from France of isloa EAU, 116R-
TRIER, MASSENA, and BIRNARDOTTE having been
arrefted, and an embargo laid on all the 'hipping
in the ports of France.—lt is hardly poffible
that the cucumßances ran be as Rated, for not
one of the individuals named has any thing
in common with any other. Some of them
have always been in oppofite parties, and be-
tween none of them has any thing more than
cold civility been ever known to take place. It has
been known for Tome days that General LAIRS
has been atrefted, but we have not beard of any
others, nor that this particular arreß was con-
flated with any political movement of particular
confequence.

the Wildernefs, Kent.
Mr. ABBOT'S talk in Ireland is very properly
compared to the cleanfing of the Augean Stables
impofed upon Hercules. By the dot that has
been thrown at him for breaking up the Paving-
Board, and other jobs of corruption, it is clear
he has put the 'hovel in the right place. The
Paving-Board, to judge by their advocates, will
make better Seirongets.
The twat Candidates at the next Elation will
have the fatigue to go through of fabricating pre-
tenfions, as a fet.off againft their obfcurity ; but
perhaps this may not be more difficult than for
tome of the old ones to explain the advantages the
Country has reaped from their (ervices. How
many would fucceed, if Contlituents were as dr-
ci.mipeEt in elating a Reprefentative as in hiring
a fix:ant of any other detcription, and Lafifted

On the approach of a general eleftion it is al-

Mr. R•NDLI JACKSON bas refigned his office of
Advocate General of Madras.

• At firß there were fume thoughts of giving it to
