AAR is a man, whose powers of mind are not to be
estimated by the standard of human perfections. if.
appears in our hemisphere like a COKE; destined
by nature to range without controul beyond the
general limitation by which Providence has marked
the boundaries of the mental spheres. His genius is
one of those rare gifts of nature which, in any
age, enlightens and astonishes mankitxl; and
though the appearance of such luminaries may
be seldom and uncertain, yet they are distin-
guishable from all others by their splendid diffusion
of intellectual light, which, while it exhibits to our
view, by its piercing rays, the latent deformity of
tyranny, brightens also with its radiance the beautiful
mantle of tnacn.-rx ; and whether the fancifhl flights
of this Tutelar Genius display their lucid nudus in
the URSA MAJOR of the North, or in the Ptqcts
Atisra..i.Lts of the South, he is still, in. Ireland, the
patron rafitirtsie and the punisher of ries. •

Government have received further ucounts from
Lord C tTIICART this morning, but they have not
been made public. If any thini of importance
should transpire in time for a Second Edition, we
shall publish it.

We particularly call the attention of our Readers
to a Letter inserted this day, signed MAGNUS Arot.Lo.
The very intelligent writer appears to be well ao.
quainted with the secret political springs that set in
motion the complicated interests'of nations. When
such enlightened minds employ those abilities in ex-
posing the machinations and corruptions of a de-
pealed policy, they may be truly said to be the real
benefactors and promoters of 44 peace on earth, and
good-will towards men.''

SurenxEss, OCT. 2.B.—The Dictator, Capiain
Stewart, has sailed for Chatham, Where it is expect-
ed she will be paid off.

The following letter from New Orleans, r'ated'
August ?4, contains a repetition of the report of the
loss of the Southampton frigate, at the mouth of the
Mississippi. We still trust that it will turn out to
be unfounded :—" All is bustle here in the military
way. Since the morning a report has reached town
that the British have taken possession of our block-
house at Fort St. Phillip, near the month of this
Biter. The Southampton frigate was cut away at
the Balite, and the Brazen sloop of war weathered
the the storm on the 18th instant ; and it is believed with
their boats they have taken the above-mentioned pt.'
sitions, which were rendered entirely defai
the hurricane. It would be impossible to give yes
a just description of the dreadful bavock and melan-
choly aspect of this ill-fated city. The hurricane far
surpassed any thing of the kind ever witnessed here-
tofore, for violence, and consequent destruction of
iroperty. Every house in the city is more or less
njured--many were dashed to atoms; hundreds of
lives were lost on the river, and out of 60 vessels,
Scarcely six are worth repairing."
It is very generally believed that the Parliament
*kith has just been elected, will sit beta very few
months before another dissolution takes place.
The damage sustained by the shipping on the river
and in the Pool, during the dreadful gale of Tues-
day evening, is estimated at more than 100,0001.
Three West Indianien lost their bowsprits and re-
ceived considerable damage in their rigging and car-
goes, in Gravesend Reach. The Butaths, Captain
MAYNE, is safe in dock. Two foreign ships went on
shore below Greenwich.
His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND has been ho-
noured with a 4etter from the PRINCE RE.•ENT, ex-
pressive of his approbation of the whole of his con-
duct in Ireland. It is said he has also received an
offer of the Viceroyship of Ireland, if he should in-
cline to continue at the head of the Irish Govern-
ment.—(Lish Paper.)
