►OOR IN IRELAND.

Mr. Bacwri.t. took occafion to mention the
Rate of the Poor of Ireland, profeffing that no
man was more unssilling than he to introduce the
fyilem of Britilh Poor Laws into that country,
however flrongly imprellecl that fome legiflative
meafure was neceffary for their relief. The Coffer-
inks of the Poor of Dublin, he admitted, had par-
ticularly attratled the attention of the Lord Lieu-
tenant, but the lunation of thofe in different parts
of Ireland, would have no leis interefled the feel-
ings of that benevolent Nobleman, had the cala-
mities they endured come within his knowledge,
and his power been competent to their redrefs.—
He could :tffure the Houle, that during the preva-
lence of infetlious difeafes, which too frequently
occurred in Ireland, and which raged with in-
creafed fury in the Lac fearcity; numberlefs un-
fortniate beings were to be found lb-etched along
the tides of the roads in that part of the country
he had the honour to reprefent, (County of Tip-
perary) with no other covering than furze, far re-
moved from medical affifiance, and languifhing
under the leveritv of dife.efe. Only a few days
:ince, he flatedi that be had a converf4tion with
in (Mice: of the Dorfet(hire Militia, quartered at
Cartic.k, from whom he learned, that icenes not
cl Abe-ling to humanity had been but too often
.vitneited in that part of Ireland. Many of thele
miferable creatures died from abfolnte want ; the
'nicks of bridges were generally crowded, as they

furnilhed tome filcher from the elements The
plan he propofed to fubmit to the Houfe, in order
to prevent the repeated exhibition of fuch fhocking
fpetlacles, would be to make it compulfory on
Grand Juries to ere El houfes in the molt convenient
place!. in their refpedive counties, for the reception
of the Poor, under fuch circumftances, and to in-
veil them with a power to levy taxes for the fup-
port of the fame. He did not intend to bring this
pi ojea before the Houfe until after the Reed's,
and from the pi.luie he bad drawn, he could not
entertain a doubt of the concurrence of all humane
men, in any plan which would tend to ameliorate
the condition of the Poor of Ireland.
The SrE.lx t a del;red to know whether the Hon.
Gentleman wilhed to give any fpecific notice ?
Mr. CORRY expreffed his moll cordial concur-
rence in the wishes of the Hon. Gentleman, to re-
lieve the Poor of Ireland, but as a regulation for
that purpofe had long been an ohjeft of anxious
folicitude with the juftly efteemed Viceroy of that
country, and his able Secretary, and as a plan cal-
culated to anfwer all the ends defired by the Hon.
Gentleman was already deviled, the nature of
which, fhould it fall to his lot to move the Sup-
; plies of Ireland, he would then more particularly
explain, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not
prefs any mature which was not in concert with
that he alluded to, which he again affured hint
was fully matured, and would be keedily brought
forward, under the patronage of the Irifh Govern-
ment.
Mr. BAC; WY Lt. allowed every tribute of ipplanfe
to the kith Government, adding, that his only
wills was, that the fyftem adopted by his Excel-
, lency the Lord Lieutenant, with regard to the
Poor of Dublin, fhould be made general through-
out the country.
Mr. CORRY replied, that the meantre was in-
tended to be general ; but that it was only in Dub-
lin that it could be yet brought to maturity.

This day we received Paris Journals of the t gth
inflant. The Teri Confolidi have rifen 2 per Cent.
on the ritth the price was SA This (hews that
the late declenfion in the price can be attributed
only to fpecutations of fome kind or other.
The Minißer of the Interior has publilhed, in
the Momttvr of the Isth, a general Table of the
price of Wheat in the different divifions and de-
partments of the French Republic, for the month
of Fruftidor (Anglia and September). By this
Table it appears that the mean prices, per myria.
gramme, (2 zlib. 1-15 oz. averdupoife), were as
follows :

Diviiion, ci-dt.vant Belgium
id Ditto, North
3d Ditto, North-Eift
4th Ditto, Lift
sth I)itto, South-Ealt -
6th Ditto, South
7th Ditto, South-311'dt
Eth Ditto, %Vat
9th Ditto, North-Wcil
loth Ditto, Centre -

By taking a morn of the above mane, if we have
made no ntitlale in our calculation, the price is
equal to about cgs. flerling. What then are we
to think of thofc who arc daily making attempts to
perfuadc the I'ublic that our flock of corn will be
diminifhed by exportations to France ? We ought
to obferve too, that in taking the mean, the quantity
fold at the highell prices is fuppofed tobe in full pro.
portion to thofe fold at the low, which is probably
above the truth. Betides, does not every perfon
know, that no corn can be exported till the prices
arcconfidcrably lower in Britain than they have yet
fallen to ? We have snore to fear from the impo-
litic meafure that has been propofed of allowing
the &tillers again to make ufe of corn in their
works. A few months ago we were told that it
would require at kali three fuccellive years of ex-
traord:nary good crops (if fuch a thing could be
expeded) to flock the ciumtry! and now from
miflaken view of the means of incrcafing revenue,
the corn is to he converted into a IPirituous effence
to enable our artizan, and labourers to fw.tllow in
one glafs of gin a! much corn as a ould maintain
them for a thy. The voice of the country is fo
decidedly agair.ft this wicked and impolitic mca-
fure, that we have no helltalion in laying, the
prefent Miniltry will jufily forfeit all claim to pub-

lic Actin, if they perfevere in the defigr that 1.1

ral Officers who dined the day before yefterday
with his Excellency were Adjutant-General
ROC, jUft arrived from Ruffia, and Chef de Bri-

Ratification of the Preliminaries by the nest

not yet made public, but it is thought 'lst it will

Amiens, that great preparations are making in
that city for their reception.
HARMFUL, OCT. 3o.—Since the reftoration of
good underfianding between England and Raffia,
it has been agreed that an Ambaffador (ball be
fent to Peterfourgh, fpecially charged with the in.
terefts of Germany. Count VON MUNSTER, ap•
pointed to this important office, has already Set

Government has refolved that all the confifcated

ed fince the commencement of the Revolution,
%all be reflored to their heirs, as well as the in-
comes hitherto withheld.

We learn from Palermo, that, by an order from
the Secretary of State and of the Marine, the Ar-
chimedes fhip of war, is ordered to cruise on the
coal! of Calabria, between Cape Spartivento an
Otranto, to clear the Peas of the Barbary corfai
who render that paffage dangerous. This is th
only meafure which our Government has yet be
able to purfue for the fafety of navigation an
commerce. The African corfairs have acquire
fo much audacity, that they lately landed f
troops near Girgenti, and carried off all the cat
they could find, as well as Tome perfons, who ha
been made Haves. The King continues to refid
at Palermo, where he elercifes himfelf a great dea
in hunting and fluting.

Yefterday we received New York Papers up to
the lift of Oaober, and alio Come Bolton and
Charleftown papers, but not of fo late a date. The
mel important part of their contents relates to
the yellow fever, which was reported to have
made ks appearance at New York, and Norfolk,
(Virginia). On this fubjeet we have estratted
the following particulars :
An order was iffued by the Board of Health.
Office, of Philadelphia, on the r zth of Oftober,
prohibiting all trade between that city and the
cities of New York and Norfolk (Virginia), in con.
fecnience of the eiiftence of a contagious difeafe
in thefe two latter places. to diminifh the alarm
excited by this order, the following report was
publifbed in the New York Advertifer, of the sgth
of allober

" Oftber 18."

" Being extremely anxious to afcertain, with
precifion, what has been the number of deaths
from Malignant fever once its appearance among
us this feafon, as well u to procure craft informa-
tion of the number and cond,Con of thofe perfons
who at prefent labour under this difeafe, and ge.
nerally of the prefent a/anal Rate of our city, I am
now enabled, by the poffeffion of authentic Mate-
rials, to prefent a view of it, which, if not grati-
fying, will at lean lay claim to the merit of being
entree, and therefore challenges fcrutiny. From
tie t 7th of laft month to the tit of Oftober, eight
perfons have died of malignant fever. From the
IR to this day, the t Bth, 88 perfons have died of
the fame fatal difeafe. So that fince the middle
of 1411 month to the prefent day, out of upwards
of 60,c00 perfons, not more than too have died
doting month of a violent Fall Fever. The
;Nuns may be allured that this is not taken from
heathy, nor bufy interefted alarmifts. It
is not drawn from the mouths of panic-Bruck re-
tailers, formed in groupes at every idle corner;
en, it is a report drawn from a fouree, which,
though (lent, is folid. It is drawn from the re-
cords of the dead. The whole is in my pain-ion,
from the t 7th September, names, numbers, dates,
and defcriptions of perfons. With regard to the
timber of new cafes, as well as thole which were
en hand, I believe I go to the ntmoß extent when
I fay they do not exceed 30. Of thefe, fome are
recovering, fome are doubtful, and fome will die.
" Terror for this feafon, however,has done its
bolinefs completely s---the haunts of ttlive life are
abandoned;—three fourths of our citizens are
lied, and have left their bufinefs, giving them-
tette& up to penfive contemplation.
" Although we have had neither an epidemic
fever, nor a Rate of air capable of generating or ,
frpporting one, yet, as we have had, and Rill
have, the fever among us, thofe who have left
the city would, I think, do well not to return un-
til there has been tome continuance of cold dry
weather, or they bring the (roll along with them.
" James TILLARY, Refidenahyfician.
Wm Volta, Ocr. 2o.—The nine days fever
alarm is already over. Yeiterday many Bores
which had been (but on Friday and Saturday
were opened. The fine weather, with Dr. TIL.
LARY'S laft report, have had a moft happy ten-
dency. Bufinefs begins again to be the order of
the day.
The New York Advertifer, of the acth, Rates
alto, contrary to the report of Doftor TILLARY,
that only a fourth of the citizens of New York had
fled ; the remainder of thofe who had left their
dwellings having only removed from the fouth to
'l:e north of the city, as being more healthy.
Mayor of Norfolk has publicly acknow.
i.t1:,..!d the exittence of a deftruflivc pcailential
cat in that city.
!!. LOON, 'WH ITE F AD, and two other Phy-
';ans of Norfolk, Rate, in a publication of the
12:h of o,ftc.btr, that the fever had neatly ccafc,l
in that town.

_ ._.....
In on.: of the Charlellon (•. c.) Papers, a fever
i% raid to " rage" in that city alto, " with fatal
viulolce," but to be principally confined " to
Grangers."

The country, in many part! of this (late and
Jeifev. is vet./ unhealthy. In fume places whale
fAmilies are taken down with the fall or bilious
f,rer, which often proves fatal in two or three
days, with many of the lymptoms of yellow revel :
:—llownefs of &in, ilick vomiting, and blcetlina at
pore.
