DUBLIN, March 29.
The Englilh newspapers of Monday and
Tuesday are filled with a variety of re
ports.
Lord Elgin's arrival in London afforded
matter for strange speculation ; among
which the illness or death of the emperor
was one.
Others reported, that the Archduke
Charles' was gone to Vienna, in conse
quence of the news received at Brussels
from Frankfort, that the king of Prussia
had withdrawn himfelf from the general
alliance. It was also said, that the young
king had escaped from Paris, and was ar
rived fafe at Brussels.
it does not appear, that any account
whatever has been received in London of
the emperor's sudden illness; any more
than of the king of Prtiffia's having desert
ed the general alliance. The news of his
Prussian majesty's final intentions in regard
to the war, mud come from lord Malmef
bury at Berlin, and not fromPruffian agents
at Frankfort The report of the arrival
of young Louis XVII. at Brussels arises
from a young German nobleman of about
nine years of age, of great expectations,
having arrived there from Frankfort, from
whence he travels in fomeftate. The rul
ing demons of Pans have long held a mali
cious and obstinate silence, even as to the
exiuence of the young monarch, and his in-
J ured relatives.
We cannot help thinking that the report
(for as yet it is only a report) of the se
cession of the king of Prussia from thegrand
alliance, mud be totally unfounded. That
arl absolute monarch should degrade him
br a pecuniary capitulation with the
very dregs of mankind, and should conde
icend to treat with those, who have used
towels all ki "S s »hc most scandalous and
yihfjng epithets seems to us little less than
impossible. Time will develope this my-

The arrests and executions at Paris conti
nue, in such a degree, that the number of
daily victims is incredible. The late reports 1
o> scarcity there, are attempted to be contra
dialed ; but by the measures taken to pre
vent monopoly, and to.-watch over the Tale
of their eggs and cabbages, it does not ap
pear that iamine is very far from tjieir doors.
The Gazette of the ajth intt. (which we
received yesterday) brought no information,
but the appointments of Lord St. Helen. to
be AmbalTador to the States General of tlie
United Provinces , and Sir Morton Eden to
his Chatholic Majesty.

FALMOUTH, March i S .
The Royal Charlotte Packet left Guernsey
011 Saturday morning tiie nd ; but having
got the length of the Galketts, it blew ftich
a gale of wind that /he was obliged to bear
away, and the fame evening came to an an
chor in Guernsey Roads.
She failed again on the 23d, and arrived
at Weymouth at 7 A. M. yesterday.
In her paflage, a-brealt of the Gaftetts,
almost two leagues to the westward of them,
Sunday, at noon, she fell in with admiral
Macbnde's squadron.consisti ng of four line
of battle snips, four frigates and a (loop of
war ; and two frigates arrived in Guernsey
Roads, the fame morning as the packet fail
ed, supposed to be part of the lame squadron.
The packet brings advice, that 011 Satur
day night seven large tranlparts with troops
ait.l Junes for Jersey, under convoy of two
frigates, a (loop of war, and an armed cutter,
arrived at Guernsey.
It was gene, ally believed at BiufTels,
when the la ft accounts came away, that
the King of Prussia had actually made a
compact with the Ruling Power in France,
in confequencc of which, his forces, his
contingent excepted, will be withdrawn
from the frontiers. We state this as
a mere report. Sun,
i he Carmagno'e, French Frigate, car
ties thirty 24. pounders, and is manned
with the flower of the remnant of the
I' rencli navy. She has hitherto proved
fuece'sful, not having met with any thing
near her proportion in metal. The Ar
tois, lying at Deptford, under the -corn*. I
maud of Lord Charles Fitzgerald, goes
out under a roving coinmilfion, and means
to fail into the track which this Republi
can veflel has for some f'rae occupied in
the North Seas. The Artois carries 28
eighteen pounders, and 6 nine pounders
011 the fame deck, 4 thirty two poundeYs
(earonnades) on the quarter deck, and
four nine pounders on the forecaftle.
The Danilh veflels are no small object of
this enterprize.
The Viscount Pioger, aid-du-camp to
the Marquis de Drefrny, the French Ge
neral who commands the Emigrants, came
to Weymouth in the packet, and we learn
that the Royalists on the banks of the
Loire are 80,000 strong; but that only
half that number are properly armed, the
reft having only (licks, clubs, or any wea
pon they could
Yesterday was pregnant with rumours
of great importance.
The circumstance of the Arch-Duke,
Charles, brother of the Emperor and Go
vernor of the Low Countries, having sud
denly set oft" for Vienna on the evening of
the 19th, in consequence of an express
which he received, has given eife to much
conjecture and speculation at Bruflels.
We fliall state all the circumstances which
have come to our knowledge, and leave
the public to judge for themielves.
Yesterday Mr. Hankey received a let
ter from Bruflels, dated Saturday last, da
ting that the Arch-Duke Charles, in con
sequence of an express, set off on the e
vening of the 19th for Conde. He there
met with a Boy to whom he paid parti
cular refpeft. He brought him to Brus
sels the night of the 2tft, and on the
morning of the 22d they departed toge
ther for Vienna. That Boy, was suppo
sed to be the young King «f Fiance.—
This letter Mr. Hankey shewed to the
Minilter.
By an express from Bruflels, which left
that city likewise on Saturday, very different
accounts were received* Tbe general belief
according to this account, of the cause of
the Arch Duke's sudden departure, was,
that the Emperor was dangerouily ill, aud
according to some, actually dead.
The Earl of Elgin arrived in town yester
day morning at fix o'clock, having made an
uncommonly quick journey from Bruflels to
London. ,
;
We tear that the Prefidtntof the
States at the instance of the National Con
vention of France has recalled Mr. Morris— *
and has nominated Mr. Monroe a Senator
of the United States, from th<» state of Vir
ginia, to succeed Mr. Morris.—We also hear,
that Mr. Carmichael is recalled from Spain,
and is to be succeeded by Mr. Short.
From Corkespondskts.
There has been much writing and har
anguing against the proposed duty on
and Sugar; the bug-bear of excise,
&c. has been brought forward ; but those
worn-out ideas have had as little effect as
the cry of the boy, who used to call out
Wolf, Wolf, on every occasion.
The truth probably is, that the Snujf
and Sugar manufafturies are so very lucra
tive, that a disclosure of the immense pro
fits some people have made, may excite
competition and diffufc those benefit*
which a fe<zu have monopolized.—l fine ii
