Sprague, arrived here yejlerday from Dublin, informs, that the spirit of Infurreclion in Ireland continued daily to Wear a more serious afpeft—that a Jhort time previous to his failing, there had embodied in the invirons of Dublin, above 80,000 men, completely armed, whose publicly avowed objeft, was, catholic emancipa tion—religious fredom, and the Independence of Ireland—that this body of men were encreafing in numbers, andpraftifedjlrtft order andfubor dination—that they aided and ajjijled the far mers in gitting in their crops, intending thereby tofecure the means of fubfiflence, when Jlrug gting for their liberty—-that many of the mem bers of the IrifbparTtament, were friendly to their cause i and that they had notified the govern ment, that in cafe of a refufal, to grant them, what the laws of nature and of God would jnflify, they would apply for foreign aid, deter mining toperifh, rather than to submit any lon ger to drag on a flavifb and miserable txiflence —He further informs, that the city of Dublin was in a eontinuedjlate of alarm andapprehen- Jion —that the -manufaftories were shut up—and trade of every kind apparently annihilated. [lt is certainly worthy of rtmark, that none of our late London papers mention a wotd about the situation of Ireland ; which, from the above, and other verbal accounts received here, seems to be " Jam tvir." There must be a little exaggeration.] It is with pleafitre we observe, that a resolve of the General Court, has faffed empowering the agents for building the State-House, to pro cure portraits of the illuflrious Governors BOWDOIN, HANCOCK and ADAMS, to be preferred in fame pa ft of that superb ede fice. It is of importaince, that therefhould be, in all States fame depository of the images of those, whose char afters have become immortal. How gratifying will it be to poflerity, to view the accurate resemblances of WASHING TON\ and his contemporary patriots, who, together wrought the great work of their coun try'sfalvation! While they contemplate the ven - erablt countenances and figures of those godlike men, their bosoms will be inspired with a glori ous emulation to imitate their virtues, and to perpet uatc the principles of liberty, independence, honor and truth. RICHMOND, june 20. IF, (fays a Correspondent) a peace has absolutely been fettled between France and the Emperor, and a treaty formed on terms advantageous to the Republic ; the dis advantages which must result to the United States, at the present crisis, will be incalcu lable. The Frenph Republic, proud in.her viftories, and powerful in her alliances, will stop nothing short of humbling her natural foe, Great Britain ; and so little can the fnendihip or the enmity of the U. States affeft that determination that D e Croix, with some justice may declare he " will not condescend to calculate the advantages or dijad vantages." If, however, France discovers ever such great benefits which might result from the two Republics' ftrengtheriing the. bands of friendfliip ; it is the opinion of our political vates, that (he will be io bloated with pride, on her acquisition of her new ally, as obstinately to refufe the acceptance of our Envoys ExWa. or give any other ex planation of her motives than those she has already adduced.

Yeftel'diy evening our worthy fellow-ci tizen John Marshall, left this city in order to join his colleague, Mr. Dana, at Phila delphia, from whence they go immediately to France. Mr. Marshall was escorted 7or 8 miles on the road by the city light-horse, and an immense concQurfe of citizens. He Was saluted as he palfed the suburbs of the city, by "a dilijbarge of cannon—in ihort etery mark of attention which could be, was shewn upon this occasion. At parting with his company, the manly afpeft of the General, appealed to yield to his natural sensibility, and not having, at this jnoment, words to express his thanks for their po liteness—a tear evinced the. feelings of his mind, and foretold, that his country's good rested on his heart. Health to - his person—- pleasure to his voyage, and SUCCESS to the negociation. Foreign Intelligence, PARIS, May t. Previous to the signing the preliminaries of peaoe, the emperor sent to the French general three .noblemen of the highest rank in his court as hostages. Buonaparte re ceived them with diftinftion, invited them to dinner, and, during the desert, addrefTed them thus—" Gentlemen, you are free— Tell your master, that if his imperial majefly wants a pledge, you cannot serve for one, and that you ought not, if none be wanted." 1 The Executive Directory have, it is said, direfted general Buonaparte to demand the liberty of La Fayette and his two compa nions in misfortune-—Bureau de Pufy and Latour Maubourg, It is not to be supposed that the hero-trf Italy, so diftinguiflied by every noble and generous sentiment, would have neglefted to break the chains of the illustrious viftims of the vengeance and ty ranny of the English government: but it is pleasing to fee the Direftory themselves an ticipating this aft of magnanimity and jus tice. It is a glorious triumph of the spirit of moderation over the fury of party. Meflage from the Direftoiy to the council of Five Hundred, of the 30th ult. " We art.cagei - to dissipate by this mes sage, the uneafiaefs created in the public mind, and which disaffeftidn and stock-job bing have attempted to accredit, relative to the reality bf the preliminaries of peace corr rcluded betweefr-jeneral Buonaparte and the emperor's plenipotentiaries. The adjutant general of the army of Italy, Sole, arrived yesterday evening with the preliminary stipu lations signed, which he delivered to the Direftory. That officer passed through Germany, and hostilities have ceased every where. The baiis of these preliminaries, approved of to-day by the Executive Direc tory, "are, - The cession of Belgium by the emperor anil king. The acknowledgerresta of the limits of France, fnch a? they have been de creed by the laws of the republic. The e'ftablifhmeflt and the independence of a republic in Lombardy. " These moderate as well as honorable | conditions are the guarantees of the solidity ' and duration of a peace so gloriously con : quered by the love of liberty, the indefatiga ble bravery of our brethren in arms, and the ! talents of the generals, who, for lix years, ' have led them to viftory." This meflage was received by the council of Five Hundred with the loudest plaudits. Jean de Bry paid a just tribute of grati tude to the peace-makers of Europe : he expreflied the warmest wishes that the peaoe might extend beyond the continent ; and he concluded by moving, that the legislative body should direst the day of the signing of the preliminaries of peace to be a day of re joicing. Paftoret moved that a column should be erefted to the brave defenders of the repub lic in the fquareof the" great commune, with this infeription : La Republique reconnoiffante a fes braves Defenfeurs. The Republic in gratitude to her brave Defenders. These motions were referred to a com miffian. The above is a literal translation of the meflage of the Direftory.—rWe shall now lay before our readers, an extraft from the Republicain Francais (one of the molt re fpeftable of the Paris papers) which gives more in detail the preliminary articles ; and this intelligence, though not official, may probably be considered as authentic. It has been copied by all the other Paris papers. The independence of the republic of Ba tavia is recognised by the emperor. The preservation, by the republic of Bel gium and the country of Liege. The French republic shall have, for limits, Luxembourg, and all the territories of the empire to the Meufe. The emperor recognises the independence of the republic of Lombardy. He receives as an indemnification a part of the Terra Firma of Venice—Venice is to receive in ex change the legation of Bologna and Ferrara. There is to be a Congress at Berne, to re gulate the definitive articles. The two pow ers shall invite their allies to be present at the Congress, to treat for a general peace. Buonaparte, to the Doge of Venice. Head-quarters, Judenberg, 20th Germinal (April 9.) In all the Venetian territories in Terra Firma, the fubjefts of your government are under arms, fcnd the rallying cry is " Death to the French!" The number of the soldiers of the army of Italy, who have been their viftims, amount already to several hundreds. In vain you affeft todifavow those movements which have been provoked by yourfelf.

The blood of oiir brothers in arms (hall be avenged ; and there is not a French battalion charged with the million, which does not feel three tifnes the courage and ftrenglh necessary to punifli you. The senate of Venice has returned the blackest perfidy for the gerierofity with which we have behaved towards it. I fend yoti my propofyions by one of my aids-de-camp and chief of brigade—-War, or Peace. If you do not immediately take every measure ne cessary for dispersing the banditti, if you do not, as soon as poflible, arrest and put into my hands the authors of the murders which have been committed, war is declared. The Turks are not on your frontiers ; no enemies mfnace you; yet you have fanftioned the premeditated dpfign of the pricfts, to form in- I fuhrftion, & to direftit against the French. I give you 24 hours to difpprfe them. The ) days of Charles VII. are pall. If, notwith , ftjmdjng the good will the Freriqh govern- I ment has fhgwu towards you, and I (hall be 1 compelled to attack you, do not, imagine that the French soldiers, like the brigands you have armed, will ravage the fields of the innocent and unfortunate people of Terra Firma.

'I How much peace was wished for, even on the part of the French, may be feeu from the following circumftancegi eiJ l The Neapolitan ambafi'ador, the marquis di Gallo, general Meerfeldt, and,general Buonaparte, met in an apartment of the pa lace of the bilhop of Lepben, and had a lo:ig '' conference in order to sign the preliminaries of peace. . •' In the afternoon of the 18th a number of ftaff officers and generals of the.French.4tmy, ; who had been invited by general Buonaparte, ; were collected in a large hall, where they waited the hour of dinner : they all knew the negotiations were begun, but expected not at all the preliminaries would be signed that day ; after they had waited a considera ble time! the folding doors of an anti cham- ! ber were thrown open, and Buonaparte en- : tered with the marquis di Gallo,and. general Meerfeldt. He shouted, " Long live the ; emperor, long live the republic : prelimina ries of peace are signed, long live the empe ror, long live the republic ! !" 1 This joyful intelligence was received with 1 the loudest plaudits and testimonies of joy by all present, which were re-echoed through all the palace by the attendants, the ferv- ] antr, and the soldiers. 1 The Plenipotentiaries, Generals, and of- 1 ficers, afterwards fat down to as sumptuous 1 a dinner as theplace andcircumftanc'es would afford ; and at which the health of the Em- ] peror, the pj-ofperity of the republic, and j1 the armies and generals on both fides, were j dranki witti the mgft Joyful acclamations, ' t Soon after dinner Gen.

The able seamen who had j fcrved through the whole war, and who had c originally received 51. of bounty, saw a set of men, raw, ignorant, in some inftapces '<■ old, in others mere boys, many of them in ill health, come on board with 30, 40, or 1 even jol. bounty money in their pockets, r and these men could neither take their share J of duty in the tops, nor ease the toil of the 1 1 veteran. In several instances they saw them , t desert to return again with a second bounty, j f Nay, they have seen them return with a fe- c cond 40 or 501. "after being discharged as f unfit for service. This galled the genuine r seamen, and to this more than to any other c cause, may be ascribed the confederacy for f the rife of wages." 1 Intelligence has been received at Copen- "c hagen from Malta, that,the Danish frigate t Thetis had arrived there from Tripoli, not v being able to conclude a peace with the bey.

A committee was appointed to report a ; bill <?n the fubjeft of expiring laws, but ; Mr. Sitgreaves thought it to appoint a committee on the fubjeft of the laW for fixing the next meeting of Congtefs, 38 he did not think the present extra meet ing could affeft that law, since it was the provinceof the Prelident to call extra sessions |of Congress ; but it was the business of Congress to fix the annual meetings, and " that the two powers could not be allowed to infringe upon each other. Mr. W. Smith differed in opinion, and wished the report to lie upon the table, or a committee to be appointed to concur with the Senate. A committee ofconference was appointed. Mr. Blount, from the committee ap pointed to report on the fefolution proposing to purchase arms, reported it as their opi nion, that the fubjeft should lie over till the next fefiion. Mr. W. Smith thought the fubjeft im portant, and wished the report to lie on the | table. It lay of course. i The bill for providing for the proteftion s of the Commerce of the United States was read the tKird time, and the blank for filling up the number of men to be employed in the cutters, was filled up with thirty ; on the question being about to be put on the palling 'of the bill, Mr. "Nicholas, said some statements !iad r been received from the War Depart meat and ordered to be printed. He had -not seen a copy of them, but wasinformed there was.yet wanting 197,000 dollars to com plete the frigates. He Willed information on the fubjeft. Mr. Parker read an extraft fralri the account,which bad been printed. Mr. Nicholas wished to knotv how it happened that in four months so great a mistake could have happened as to the ex ' pence of finifhing these vefiels. When the | last appropriation of 170,000 dollars was made, they were told that sum would be fuf ficient to make them fit to receive the men on board;, but now they were called upon for 197,000 dollars more. He thought this matter ought not to pais over without en • quiry, as he did not like to be f.awn from step to step to do what, if the whole matter had Dean feeri at firft, they might pot have "consented to.. He.trusted this Was not in tentionally done ; but he owned it looked very suspicious. Mr. Parker believed the estimate of last fefiion was only to make the Vessels readj to receive the guns op board, and did not in clude the guns.
