n communication respecting an associa-

separate the two countries and eXtirpate
Hcreucs," has been made to the Irish go
vernment. The first communication was
to Mr.. Grattan and the Knight of Kerry,
who thought it their duty to inform govern

Dublin Castle upon this subject when the
post was dispatched last Monday. No fur

BY late Danish ordinance, all Captains
OF vessels and others, going from any port

The Dutch papers contain an Imperial
Decree, dated palace of Amsterdam, Octo-

CommissaIy Generals at Rotterdam and
Emoen; the latter is to have Special Com

who is to reside at Delfzyl.

that many gentlemen were yesterday exam

|of the Dublin Papers treat this plot as
mere farce, or device to throw odium on

of a regular plot. There is neither a Priest
