CAMBRIDGE June 4.
A letter has just been received from Mr. Fy(he ,j
Palmer, dated Sydney, New South Wales, June ,
13, 1795, in which that colony is represented to
be in the most dreadful fituation v The military
officers monopolize all the trade ; every (hip which
arrives they immediately buy the eango, which they |
fell even at the rate of 1000 per cent, profit.—A
Mr. Bolton, who was sent out some time fiuce by j
government to cure fifti and make fait, hai never t
yet beep employed; anii on his Hating to the com- (
making officer that he would undertake, with the (
aflillance of boats and men, to'fupply, from Lord j
Howe's lfland in the neighbourhood, a full or even
a double allowance of well cured fifh, at the third ,
of the pi ice of beef and pork, 110 notice was taken ,
of the proposal, though the eolony at that time ]
" had not provisions for a month, though every per- t
son was at half allowance, and thoughTowls were c
felling at five (hillings each, and a cabbage at fix- c
pence, and pork at one (hilling and fix-pence per 0
pound.—Mr. Palmer's men, which, he had bought g
at a monltrous rate, with his farm, were taken n
from him ; a message was also sent to him to pull
njf his hat to the officers, othei wife he would be t
confined and punished ; and orders had been twice r
given for no soldier to speak to him, though the ]
ceremony of " capping" the officers was never o- a
mitted by him, and though he never conversed with ii
the soldiers.—The good undemanding which Go
yernor Philips took pains to cultivate between the
natives and whites was entirely done away, and a J
system of plunder and extermination substituted.
The natives of y the Hakfbury, (the richest land
possibly in in the world, producing thirty and forty
bushels of wheat per acre) having by cultivation
loft their favourite food the wild yams, poverty
compelled them to Ileal some indian corn to support '
nature, a crime which the unfeeling settlers refeut
ed by unpeialleled severities, Sixty soldiers were n
"sent to kill and deftioy all they could meet with ;— n
and a native boy, who lived with a settler, was (]
made t<i discover where his parents and relatives con- H
cealed themselves. The soldiers came upon them, fc
seized them, unarmed, and, unexpe&ed, killed five, p
and wounded many more—the dead bodies-were n
hung on gibbets, in terror cm. Mr. Palmer con- ];
'eludes Viis letter by hoping-.that on the arrival of d
governor Hunter, a policy will be introduced that u
may corre£t the many abuses and oppreffiont the f
colony at present groans under. i,
The late coufpiracy "at Paris has been evidently h
encouraged by the difaffeftion of the inhabitants of a
that city, on account of the old quarrel relative to t
the re-ele&ion of the two-thirds. This point, our f,
will recolledt, was "not enforced without a t
struggle at the time, in which many lives were loft ; p
and as we have often stated, force is not the way tc y
convince ; it may exterminate, but never ean produce
a chdnge ef mind. Thus the present governors of a
France would have e(labli(hed themselves much o
»nore firmly, and what is of mote importance, t]
would have established the constitution under which r
they aft, had they acceded to the request of the Pa- tl
rifians, by publishing the departmental returns, so n
>6 to have made it evident that the constitution was f<
Teally adopted by the majority of the people ; tbtV tl
refufal to do so left doubts on the public mind which g
have not decteafed, Snd which, but for the acci- tl
dental of the Dire&ory, might have pro- C
duced anothe"? revolution. ri
Our Jlrong government, and their violent adfrer- le
ents, might, (if they would ever pursue wisdom) tl
learn a salutary lesson even from this high-handed n
tfonduft of the regicides—they might from this I
know, that an obstinate refufal to gratify the peo- p
pie in their reasonable demands, does not tend to ef- a
tablifh a government. a
A young man in Greenock of the name of Kid, n
who has been blind from his infancy, has lately fin
ifhed the model of a sixty-sour gun ftiip, of about ti
five feet keel, with carriages for the guss, and every tl
•nece'Hary material and aparelling of a fhip'of that c
-rate, without any assistance whatever, or other.in- h
3rument than a imall knife and hammer. c ,

That the situation of Eilropc and the world is '1

the difficulties may be which throws upon nag

iiiat :&is a propitious.xra for a poor and oppriffled d
i-ountty like Irelaifd All that we have gained for in
the lalt fifty years was gained during of di

the advantage. This, therefore, is oui time for
our conftit'tition with that of tc
Great-Britain 4 nns is the time for putting an em- ar

is the time for placing the conftitutioa and the
vnnnedion with England upon an equitable and un. at

5 : We would be-the besotted peoplethat we are called
- if we omitted aa opportunity to do so. 1 here is
nothing incompatible in attending to the mainte
nance of order, and the redrels of grievances :
they are the grossest libellers of government who
difTeminate a contrary doctrine, because its tenden
cy is to drive the community todefpair, tofeparate
them from the conftiKied authorities, and to teach
them to look only to themtelves for redress. We
are bow on the eve of a general eledlion—and if the
ele&ors do n«t bind every candidate to the great
measures which are yet wanting to completeour po
litical fyflem, the depression of their counxry will
be f. cmne in which, if they do not participate,
they connive at, and deserve to feel the eonfe
qucnces.
It must be very unpleasant to us in the present
critical period, to mention that the persecution in
the county of Armagh rages with a fury that would
not discredit the ardour of Dioclesian. Such
unfortunate people as have presumed to stay in that
- country,-have fuffered a complete devaluation of
property; and others, who preferred exile, have
been_ hunted from the province, and harrafTed on
the road by reproaches and insults. This is the age
which is called liberal ; and this the quarter which
ie pretends to separate political punishment from reli
e gious opinions.

>' MONTEGO-BAY, August 6.
' l Last Sunday arrived the brig Phoebe, Harvey,
y from New-York, in 35 days. On the 12th of
July, at 2, P. M. in lat. 28, 48, Capt. Harvey
y saw four fail to leeward, about three leagues dif
r tance, which proved to be three large French fliips
" of war, and a schooner, supposed to be a tender.
e One of tkem, a 74, made for the Phoebe, fired a
' (hot, and brought her too, when (he was boarded
11 by two officers, who, upon iufpedling the papers,
were perfedlly fatisfied. They informed, that they
11 were four days from Cape-Francois—that Guada
e loupe was' in palfeffion of the Englilh—and that
- they were bound for America- They were desir
e ous of knowing if there were any Engli(h cruisers
• on the coast of America, or laying in the harbor
f of New-York. They treated Capt. Harvey with
t great civility, and offered him any assistance he
? might in need of.
1 On the Z4)h ult. Capt. Harvey was boarded by
e the Swallow English sloop of war, cruizing on the
c north fide of Cuba, who informed him, that the
s Dunmore, of New-Providence, bound to this ifl
• and, was taken the beginning of July, and carried
> into the Havanita.
• From the GOLUMBIAN MIRROR.
a LtVMI PoW!ll, Esq. has offered as a Representative
of the coujities of Loudoun and Fauquier, at
I the approaching eledion of President and Vice-
I Prertoent of the Unittd States. The occasion
» produced a circular letter to the Freeholders of
f the Diftiift, from which the following is an ex
t tract.
AFTER what has been said, it may feem\in
e Ijceeffary to declare that George Washington is the
- man of my choice as President; and as Vice-Pre
s fident, to aft with him, I now believe I should give
- my vote to John Adams. These men have both
» been tried in their refpe&ive offices—we have prof
> pered under their management, and I feel no with to
s make experiments. But reports have lately circu
lated that General Walhington has declared his
f determination Vj retire from public life j (hould this
t unfortunately be the cafe, the'queftian is, who (hall
: succeed him ? This, indeed, is a nice question, and
involves several considerations. 'Till very lately we
r have only heard of Mr. Jefferfon and Mr. Adams
f as certain candidates for the Presidency, and of both
> these there have been some reports, which,, if well
r founded, would make me reluctantly vote for either
1 to fill this important poll. Whether these have
; proceeded from party spirit, ought, and no doubt
will, be the fubjeft of enquity.
: It is now said Mr. Patrick Henry, of Virginia,
f and Mr. Pinckney, of South Carolina, will both be
1 on the nomination—Should it be so, I must declare
, that I feel at present disposed to vote for. Mr. Hen
-1 ry. This gentleman was at firft much opposed to
■ the general government; but, I believe, after amend
» ments were obtained, he became reconciled to it •
> for we have not heard of his joining in the cry of
r the present opposition againtt every measure of the
1 government, as has been commonly the cafe with
• those who were opposed to the ratification of the
■ Constitution ; but, on the contrary, his late decla
rations condemning, in the strongest terms, the vio
• lent measures in the last Congress, (hew
I that he is a friend to peace, order and good govern-
I ment. A ftrongreafon for the appointment of Mr.
i Henry is, that it may have a tendency to unite all
■ parties, and do away that ipirit of contention which
■ at piefent rages with so much 'violence amongst us
and threatens the deftruftion of the Union. I am'
, not fufELiently acquainted with Mr. Pinckney to
• fay more of him than that his chafer is refpec
: table, is a friend to government, and that he was
' the negotiator of the treaty with Spain, which is
: considered a very advantageous one to us. I ftil]
■ however, entertain hopes that the fame love for his
country, which has hitherto induced the President
to facrifice all private eonfiderations to the public
good, will lead him to continae in office, at least
1 till the ejtabnfhment of peace in Europe ; for un
til that takes place, 1 conceive all his firmnefs and
good judgment are requiCte to keep us clear of
their deftrudive contests. If, however, he (hould
determine to retire, and you (hould give- me a vote
; in the chsice of a successor, I fliall conflder j t
duty to weigh jW ell the charaflers of the different
Candidates, and, to the best of my judgment, give
"the preference to that man who wjll be mod likelv
to preserve the peace and "happinefa of our colmtry
and the government under which we live
(hall be my firft considerations, and, in my determi
nation, public opinion (hall have its due weight.

A letter from Anvers of June 30. not only con
firms the news of the crossing of the Rhine by the
French army at Strafburg, but adds that the French
- were advancing in force towards Heidelberg, to
tllr °vv themselves in the rear of the Auftrians, and
that the head-quarters of the prince of Conde were
J already in their power.
1 On the 28th ot June, the left wing of the army

per towards Acher and the Sieg. On th- 29th,
t the division of Grenier pafied the Rhine at Cologne,
