AMIRICAW APP4II S.

We have a peculiar fatisfadion in announcing,
from authority which may be depended upon, that
the difficulties which occafioned the rupture in the
progrefs of the Commiffioners of this country and
the United States of America, appointed to de-
cide on the refpedive claims made by the inividu-
als of the two countries, are happily removed.
The Government of the United States have
agreed to pay a fpecific fum to the Britifir Govern-
ment, which we underhand to be acro,000l: and
which is to rata), all the old long pending claims
by Britifh fubjeds on the individuals of that coun-
try. Britifh claimants have now, therefore, to ap-
ply for reftitution to their own Government. The
American claimants, a1t0,.. for the capture by
Briti(h cruizers, by which they fuffered to fo large
an amount, are, by the prefent 'adjuftment, al-
lowed to proceed as provided by the laft commer-
cial treaty between the two countries,, and juflice
will, therefore, be rendered them, on duly fub-
ikantiating their lodes. •
The demand made by,Britifh fubjeds on the
United States was above a million Rerling. As
that Government is now releafed by paying only
two hundred thoufand pounds, it is conceived
that the bargain is very favourable to America. •
The entire fettlement of there leag pending
claims is, however' an objet of no inconfiderable
moment. Our three Commillionars at Philadel-
phia, it will be recolleded, abruptly returned to
England about two years furze, under circum-
fiances very unfavourable to any future amicable
adjultment of the difpute. The three Commit.
Antlers on the part of the United States, viz. Melf.
Gott, PINCKNEY, and TRUMBULL, however, con-
tinued in England, where they have now refided
about five years on this bufinefs; and for the two
laft, totally unemployed. There in concert with
the Commiffioners on the part oithis conntry,ap-
pointed to at with them, will again enter on the
trial of caufes, and it is expeded that no other im-
pediment can prevent the object of their million
from being fpeedily accomplithed. The final ar-
rangement of this tedious affair is, we underhand,
almott, entirely indebted to the unremitted exer-
tions and able negpciations of Mr. Kurd, the
American Ambaflador, at London ; bat, for the
conciliatory meafures of that Gentleman, it is
believed the three American Con.Thiffioners, re-
fident here, would have been called I..rne.
This would neceiffirily have occafioned unplea-
fent confequences, as ;he breach would thereby
have been widened, which was at firft unfortu-
nately produced. .

The five State Prifoners lately confined at Fort
Geotge, and fent to Ireland, are Dr. gatifin, and
Ma* Pennant, Siam Donudd, and Hunter. They
arrived at Greenock! in the evening of Saturday
lag, accompanied by Mr. SYLVERTER, the King's
Meffenger : and on Sunday morning they were
fent on board the HAZARD Hoop of war, which im-
mediately fet fail for Ireland.
It is a little remarkable, that one of the moll
famous and defperate robbers of the prefent day in
France is named V urpin. He has lately been ap-
prehended, fo that in name, profejion, and death,
he will refcmble our celebrated highwayman.
Sr uART'S Regiment, which has now the honour
of being named the oQLieen's German Regiment,
and which contributed io effentially to the glorious
termination of the sift of March, when oppofed
to the veteran troops of France, except the Oil
ceis, are all Auftrians or Hungarizns, who were
taken prifoners in the campaigns of 1796 and 97,
in Italy, and fold h General Bonaparte to the Spany.h
Goverenafitt, who incorporated them into their
foreign Regiments, ufually denominated Swifs.—
They formed a part of the army in Minorca, when
attacked by General Sir CHARLES Sruatr. With-
in a few da) s only of our landing, upwards of a
thoufand of thefe brave inbred 1 fellow: came over to
us, which fo diminifhed and deranged the inten-
ded defence, as to induce the Spanifh General to
furrendef this important Mend, almoft without
firing a gun. They were immediately formed into
a Regiment on the Britifh Eftablifhment, and the
command given to Brigadier-General Joe* Sru-
arr, who had ferved with Sir Ctiaates from his
firft appointment to the command of the Britifh
Forces in Portugal.
On Wednefday evening the remains of the late.
Rev. Aar Hot O'Leaav were removed from his i
, lodgings in Portland-ftreet to St. Patrick's Chapel,
a place founded by his zeal, and confecratedby his
talents and his virtues. Thurfday morning the
Chapel was hung with black, and on the pall, fpread
diet the offin, were feen the emblems of the Roman
Catholic . ith, with the Cap and other infignia of
the religi Ili order to which the deceafcd had be.
klnged. igh Mars was celebrated by the Chap.
lains with, becoming folernnity ; and the Grand
Dirge was, performed in the molt fublime tlyle of'',
facred muk by Mr. Weis, who prefided at the
organ, accompanied by an orcheftra filled with the
Brit vocal performers of the Catholic perfuafion in
London. But however impreffive the funeral fer-
vice was, and though every heart ftrongly vibrated
to the plaintive notes, yet the triumph of eloquence
Came left, and forced from every eye the guffiingi
tellimony of real forrow—The Rev. Mr. D'Aftcy,
from Dublin, attended the pulpit, and delivered
himfelf in a (train of truly pathetic oratory, of
which we cannot fpeak in terms of warmer praife
than by faying that it was worthy of the revered
ebarafter which he (trove to ponrtray. The fkrong
emotions of the fpeaker were felt by the whole au-
dience, whom he alternately melted into tears for
the dead, and elevated their fouls to heaven.
It is impoffible to give a lift of the Roman Ca-
tholic Clergy who attended on this occation; but it
would be an unpardonable omilTion to leave out
the names of the Bifhops Douo eas and Hussey;
and of the Rev. Mr. Garrzy the Rev. Mr. D'Ait-
cy, the Rev. Mr. Ls!, the Rev. Mr. Coolie*, and
the Rev. Mr. Dsv sato: who were among the
'thief mourners. We mull xlfo add the names of
Cll. O'KELLY, Dr. KINVIDY, Meftis. IizATINS
Mr. D. O'CoNaoa, Mr. HARLEY, and Mr. T
O'Llear, who took a diftinguiffied part in titer ~,`
