although for the outrage of which she
complained. every Unsuitable retribusion
hadbeen afforded. In looking It this
subject let it be observed TOO, that her
interd;ction does not extend to the other
hslligerents-only British ships are ex.
cluded-for long after the presidents
proclamation, a French ship Of war lay
in the Chesapeake. Mr.. Roses mission,
evidently ola conciliasory nature, ter.
minated in nothing more than an ex.
preston Of concern which he might have
made for the affair Of the Chesapeake
trigate, then reduced to common trans.
action by separating his governm
from any concern with it. He did not
procure the smallest alteration in the
measures Of America; she did not, in
any degree, relax from that angry pos
tnre which she had assumed; nor di-
minish in that irritable sensibilitys which
she expressed upon the occurrence of
the attack on the Chesapeake. II she
hoped BY this menacing position to make
our government relinquish their right to
search merchant ships, We are glad they
possessed 6rmness enough to disappoins
her.
We have infinite concern in stating
that the indication Of turbulence and
disorder 10 several counties are inereas.

place.

ed disposed to exercise those acts Of fol-
ly and violence which the inconsiderate
and unreaectiug too frequently suppose
willremedy the distress complained Of,
but which infallibly add to the evil aud
its consequences. The jnterposition of
the chief magistrate, aided BY other res
Pectable gentlemen Of the town, sue
ceeded in pursuading the people to
peaeeabte conduct after q little time
and, although strong body Of the mill
tary were ready to act, If called upon,
it is q gratifying circumstance to know
that good order was re.es.abiished BY
the milder remedy Of persuasion, and
that no harsh measures were necessary.
Some rioters who had assumed the
name Of Thra.hers, hav. recommended,
within few nights, their meetings, and
committed some acts Of violence ia the
county Of Roscommon. On Friday last
they held meeting, near the residence
ofsir Edward crolton, who, on being
apprised Of the circumstance, lost no
time IN preparing to endeavor to bring
the offenders to justice. Though labor
ing under some severe personal infirmi-
y, sir Edward put himself at the head
OF his servants and tenants, and about
ii O'Clock at night came up with a.
large body Of Thrashers at the ford of
Kilsoom. who. on pe1eeiving his ap.
Proaehs made dispositions for giving re.

three Of those ~deluded wrstches los.
their lives, and seven were taken prison.

ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
Lord Greuville said, there was sub.
jeet ofimportance, ofwhich he had given
aseneral notice previous to the recess,
he meant an address to his majesty 70
suspend the operations of the orders in
council. Rumors, however founded he
knew not, had gone abroad, that it was
the intention Of his majesty's govern.
Inens to recall them, in consequence of
the pleasing hope that our relations with
the u. s. Of America would be restored
TO their FORMER amicable intercourse. II
such was the fact he congratulated the
country, and was much more anxioos
that the revocation Of the orders in coun.
Gil should proceed from the voluntary
act of the kings government than by any
motion Of his. However, ifuo such in.
ten,ion should be manifested, BY the con-
'etusion ofthe present month, he pledged
himself to submit to their lordships the
propriety Of addressing his majesty for
their repeal.
Lord Hawkesbury rose for the pur.
pose Of garding agains. any Inference
which his silence might encourage, with
respect to the 'rumor of repeal, to which
the noble baron alluded: at the same
time that he felt it his duty not 10 make
single observation on the state of our re.
lations with America. Adjourned.
.~> ..>.*-. Coax, Mduif.
It may be presumed from some obser.,
yations between lords Granville and
Hawkesbury, in the House of Lords, on
Thursday, respecting the orders in eouu.
Gil, that hopes are entertained Of an ami.
cable termination Of our difference with
america. Lord Greuville limited at an
intended concession of those orders bv
the government 10 consequence of the
arrangements with the American govern.
ment. Lord Hawkesbury would not
admit the fact or any sueh intention on
the part Of government as the revocation
Of these orders, but he did not discredi,
the other presumption. We do most
sincerely hope that good understanding
may be resumed between these king.
doms and America but we must con-
sfess, aud We regretsto do so, that We do
not expect that event will result from a.
ny friendly disposition Of America to-
wards Us, Compelled to make an cleo
ZION between the United Empire and
France, she win, in all probability, in
consideration of her commercial int.
rests. prefer the former! but there has
been 40 irritation and i'll. will in her re-
cent conduct TO Great. Britain and Ire.
land, which lead Us to think she would
no, make the adoption voluntariIy.-
She, AT this moment looks at Us in an at.
,itude Of war, for as a friendly power
she would not xpel from within the lin
its Of her Jurisdiction every thing British
or 4rish-with any other feeling than an
hostile one, she would NOT inserdict her
people from all intercourse with our arm
