ON. AN EARLY CAOTION TO TIIE rEOPLII Or

AVG. 5.
There Is a letter of the 29th, from one of Lord
Was.urovox's Staff, stating the death of MAanowr
and Bowerr. The pursuit continuos on the rood to
Burgos. The French retreated ten leagues iv one
day. We are in sad want of wood, water, &c.
The Inhabitants all kindness; but were so fright-
ened at Salamanca, bifore the battle, that Lord
MILLIIIGTos was obliged to place strong guards on
She town to prevent their flying.

IRELAND!
Who, in the name of truth, billeted in thepro.
Inked neutrality of the Cabinet ? Has there been a.
man so stupid—so absolutely embruted by eve-.
dulity, as to repose confidence in the assuranciel,
so frequently given, that Ministers would not inter✓
fere with the progress of the CATHOLIC Quorum—
that it should be left to work its own way—to stand
or fall on its own merits, sod that every Member
of the Ilonourabk House should bepermittedto give
a free vote, writillesenced—unintimidated, Does the
man ,exist who has benefited so little by " expe-
rience and the evidence of facts," as to have
placed faith in the declaration ; that the period be-
tween the Prorogation and the neat meeting of Par-
liamen4 should be passed by Ministers in acts of
conciliation and kindness towards the Catholics of
Ireland? The Catholic Board—those who act for
and in the name of the best and bravest People on
earth, have not, thank Heaven ! been fooled by
inch promises and declarations, but if any portion of
the community could have been so blinded, the mist
is now dispelled, and the monster of Persecution
and Intolerance, once more appears in all its
original, disgusting, and detestable deformity.—
The lie—the cool, deliberate, infamous lie in the
Courier, which influenced the decision on Marquis
Welleeley's motion, and the other conciliatory pro.
seeding, the prosecation If Mr. Atzpatriek, have
been followed by the revival of an old Drama—the
system of ALARM is resorted to in the hope of de-
; etroying the harmony that reigns amongst the Irish.
people—of again dividing Catholic .and Protestant,
and of making them cut each other's throats for the •
love if God t But the trick is too stale; it cannot
now, we trust, be played off with effect. It may,
however, be necessary and useful, to expose the in-
sidiois 'policy, and to warn the country of the ap-
proaching danger.
Let the People look to the transactions in Long-
ford, as detailed in the Dublin Evening Post, of
Tussle last—by the way, we trust, the Commander
of tie Forces has taken the proper notice of that de-i
tail—let the People also look to the first Resolution
of the Catholic Meeting of Kilkenny, the cause of ,
selsich we shall explain, and then they will discover
that it is a duty incumbent on them, to guard against
the renewed machinations of a dark, intolerant, and
Implacable enemy.
Previous to the 24th of last month, the ALARMIsTs
had been particularly busy in the city and county of
Kilkenny—the old story was industriously circulated
•-••••44 the Catholics were to rise and cut the throats
of all the Protestants"—all—all—neither man,
woman, nor child was to escape the twentredgcd
knife of the Papists I—The alarm, however, made
little way till the 21th and 25th, when the nightly
guards in Kilkenny were doubled, and each man
furnished with twenty rounds of ball cartridge.—
The order for this was said to have been received
from Dublin Castle, and it is even conffdently as-
serted, that a person high hi authority in Kil- ,
kenny, had written to Sir Juux Rummy, request-
lug him to abandon Ms country residence, and in-
stantly to remove his family and plate into the city
for safety. The trick failed -4here were only some
old Ladies frightened, and the Catholic Meeting on
the 31st ultimo was numerously attended by Pao-
TIISTANT rank, fortune, and talent. Yet, the !
ALARMISTS persevere anti es there is every reason
to believe they have high sanction for their base pro-
ceedings, this early caution may be useful. We there-
fore
say to the 'liberality and virtue of the land, let
no report—no artful insinuation—no foul calumny
disturb the harmony so fortunately established be-
tween Catholic and Protestant—live united—remain
firm !

Some of the Letters from Lisbon state, that the
Expedition which had arrived at Majorca from Sicily
had not attempted to land on the Spapish coast, but
had unexpectedly and very unaccountably returned
again to Sicily. What degree of credit is due to this
report we know not.
It was reported last night, that a Telegraphic Dis-
'Patch had announced an arrival with a pacific over-
tore from America. This, however, was unfounded;
but an Otlicer has arrived Sir J. Dvcawoavii,
with dispatches, relative to transactions on the
American coast. It is said, that fifteen sail of ships
had been seen, which were at first suppoied to be'
French, but proved to be East Indiamen.
Ott the one dey that Mr. Liao* arrived V. the
P agatielloa, he received a letter frees ht r.Cairorrns,

A Meeting of the Lieutenancy was held at Mid-

formed, who will forthwith visit the disturbed dis.

vation of the peace are formed, and how they are ma,
flexed, &c.
We extract the subjoined from the Waterford
Mirror of Wednesday last:--11, Gentleman of this
city has received a letter from it. John's, New-
foundland, via Liverpool, dated July 16, which
states, that a few days before the letter was dis.
patched, the Adonis cutter, of 10 guns, went out
on a cruise, and having fallen in with an American
priiisteg,.a smart engagement ensued. The cutter,
we ere wry to say, is stated to have surrendered,
after sufkinidk the loss of many of her crew, who
I were killed in the action. On the receipt of this in-
telligence, such of his Majesty's ships as were at St.
' John's went out in search of the privateer and her
prize, with what success is not mentioned. Although
there seems to be no reasettah4 ground to doubt the
• accuracy of this statement, it arty be proper to men-
tion, that Stock's Navy List, for the present month
(August), gives Portsmouth as the station of the
! Adonis cutter.

At the battle of the 22d, the Lady of a Captain
of the Royal Fusileers, follow:ed her husband to the
scene of action; when she heard of his baring been
killed, she hurried among the dead and dying, and
found a ball had passed through his head.

from the top of the Haymarket was very beautiful, fur the
