.ng the finances of the Re public, was ft ill under difcuffibfi, and no resolution had heen come to 011 the fubjeft in the fitting of the 30th, the lall of which we have any -ac count. We also received this morning Bruffel's papers to the 3 th ult. In an article from Vienna of the 18th ult. we find a speech attributed Buonaparte, wi which he fays -that he had no objection to the Mihnefe forming an independent repub lic ; but that it was their hnfinefs to consider how far they could defend themselves againfl the house of Auflria. From this conversa tion it wis conjeftured, that the Court of Vienna would recover Milan ; and what ad ded to the' supposition that the Milanese Wi're desirous of returning tc! the fubje&ion of the Emperor was, that four de utie* from Milan had arrived at Vienna, where they had been well received by Baron Thugut, and had on the 12th «n audience with the jEmperOr. % The Impartial European of the 28th ult. contain* the following article : " We are. this tryoment assured, that jt is ! reported through different Swiss .Cantons, j that the negociations of peace between ' France and th« Emperor are brokea off, and that hostilities are on the point of commen cing. " The Swiss, who appear to have been apprehensive that Buonaparte would march ag?inft their Cantons, have perhaps spread this report' to quiet the uneasiness of the people ; since they ar sure that the threats of Bnonaparte will be attended with no effe£t. t " What appears to give credit to this re port is, the arrival of several Piedmontefe agents in Switzerland, wlo purchase horses at any price for the cavalry of the King of Sardinia ; it is, hi faft more thau probable that if the war with Auflria commences, this Prince will be obliged to furnifh the contingent which he has undertakeu bythe treaty to furnifh. We are, however, dis posed to believe that these horses are destined for some other purpose, and that this bad news will not be considered." letter from Duffeldorff of the 25th ult. icontainedin the Bruffel* paper of the 29th) ates, that an order had just been received there from the commander in chief of th. ar my of the Sambre aad.Menfe, which excited general astonishment j the county of Berg is ijnmedintely to supply 500 men per day, ork at the fortification* of Duffeldorf. ecity itfelf i* to supply 250 ;■ and 300 uppers are arrived to fcccmd the operation* . of the workmen. The objeft of,a measure i so extraordinary at a moment when every appearance promises a speedy and general peace, is anxiously enquired. t ~ Tha French troops are making move ments, the end of which it would be diffi cult to divine. We are indeed assured, that gen. Le Febre js entrusted with a private expedition ; bnt this assurance i* merely founded on conjefture. On the other hand it is remarked that the Auflrian troops are assembling in force at Hapan.

According to this philo sophy, the end of the world i« the beginning of ' that which they call Freedom, and the Republic ' of the penple mull be porn only to die 1 1 AFFAIRS OF IRELAND. < The lad accounts from Ireland are cer- i tainly. of an alarming nature, in as much as t they shew that the ratifications of the con federacy distinguished by the name of Unit- : cd Irishmen, are g'n reality infinitely more f cxtenfive than even the reports of the two f honfes of Parliament in Ireland on this sub- s jedl had laught us to believe. c From these reports we were induced to think the conspiracy was confined, or near ly so, to the province of UMler ; we find iiqw, however, that it has travelled to the t Other extremities of the kingdom, and gain- J ed numerous proselytes both in the south & t the weft. ' f The difcovcry made in the camp at Bau ion, in the county of Cork, has but too t i clearly established the melancholy truth 1 and-opened a -gloomy to thof : who contemplate the'political ,fituatiof) o ■ affairs in Ireland. The plan laid by the confpiratores afford i the greatest ground for alarm, as it was'no a sudden elullition of difconten or ill will but a cool deliberate delignj exery part o , vvhich denotes system, reflection, combina i tion, and talertts. In a word, every thinj ■ was conducted with so much secrecy, anc every precaution which was to thi fuccefft of a great and dangerous enter prize was so well taken, that had not an accom plice, either from remorse of conscience, 01 hope of reward, betrayed his associate* and revealed the plot, the confequenje mnf have been such as would have made huma nity shudder,""and perhaps haw in a higl degree endangered the interest of the Bri tilh empire. In the camp at Bandon were Rationed his j majesty's 30m regiment of foot, a battalior of militia, attached to it, and the count) j of Leitrim regiment of militia, making it ! the whole 1500 men. j At no very great difiance from this camp 1 are two others in the fame county, (Cork] of which is st Ratnoormuofc. A- com muoication was opened between the privates of the militia Rationed in all here, and a regular plan of operations was digested by them, for counteracting those pursued by government in- the North, for the extirpa tion of the principles that bound together the members of the society of United Irifh mci . The only part of the plan which has yet transpired, is this, that on the ifl day of this month, ar an honr agreed upon, the men were to rife in all the three camp*, put their officers to death together, with the regulars who should oppose them, and make themselves mailers of all the floret, ammu nition, &rms and artillery. This being ef fected, they were to rahe the fbndard* of United .Irishmen, and invite all the friend* of their Cause in every part of the kingdom to repair to it. ,The 30th regiment in par ticular, it is said, was marked out for d«- flruftion. on account of the fleady loyalty they had displayed in seconding the itieafures of government for disarming and apprehend ing United Irishmen. We haxe heard, how ever, that the massacre ' was not to have been extended beyond the commissioned non commissioned officers. This plot, as our readers already know, was dWcovered by a private of the Dublin militia ; and in consequenCe of hi* informa rion, between 30 and 40 soldiers of the Bandon camp were secured, who, were des cribed as the ringleaders, or mod aftive agents in thebufinef*, as were also some of the country people, who were represented as having been the means of communication between the different camps. The extent of the conspiracy greatly alarmed government—it was resolved, after some deliberation thrt a dardon should be granted to all the conspirators who were not then in cuflody, on condition that they ab jured the principle* of United Irifhment, and took anew the oath of allegiance to hi* majefly. On this occasion Gen. Dalrymple, who officially made the offer of pardon, saw whole companies advance in bodie- to avail themselves of the offer ; thu* proclaiming, by their abjuration, that they were, or at leafl had been United Irishmen. If any man think* that the mi'chief is at an end, and that this new security, taken for their allegiance, is a firm pledge of their fu ture loyalty, and of the public tranquility, he mull- be credulous to a moll unpardona ble degree —for what reliance can be placed on the oath* of men, who have already broke the mofl sacred and solemn engage ments ?—-"Not to fay any thing of their en gagement confirmed by oath to the society of United Irishmen, they could not have entered into the conspiracy which has been so lately Jete&ed and defeated, without a deliberate breach of the oath of allegiance which they took at the time they were en listed or embodied. Surely the repeated breaches of the moll fee red obligations, can not afford a rational ground for hope, that those who have hitherto disregarded and trampled upon oaths, will in future be reli gions observers of them. Those who are capable of entertaining such a hope, are not qualified for the office of statesmen. Oaths never have beeu, and never will be, as binding on the multitude as felf-interejl. Make it the interest of men to be true to you, and you need not think of eXafting an oath of fidelity from them. Thi* system mud at lafl be pursued with refpetl to Ireland. The government of that country mull undergo a very Conlidera ble change, before any reasonable hope or lasting tranquility can be entertained.— Neither England. nor-Irelqnd'can afford to keep a large army conftatitly ok foot in the latter kingdom ; and if it be the prtffure of military force that alone keep* down the spirit of infurre&i«m, we may naturally ex pedl ,it will rife when that pressure is with drawn. Away then with force ; let the govern ment be established where alonfc it ought to Hand for the hearts and affections of the peo ple ; and should oiie'turbulent and seditious man then grefume to disturb the tranquility of the country, twenty of hi* neighbours would appear to secure and bring him to s condign punishment. Far as the present feflion of parliament is advanced in Ireland, as well as here, some fleps ought to be taken before the recess, for tranquilizing that diflraCted kingdem : and the preliminary flep should be, a change of the lord lieutenant and his advisers. PARIS, Juty 1. The executive directory ?ent a day or two ago to the minister ofpolice, to know if it was true, that there existed clubs in different quarters of Paris. Cochon re turned for answer, that he was already in the knowledge of the existence of more ' than fifty, and that new ones were eve • ry day forming. They add, that the df reftory, after deliberating a quarter of art hour, called in the minister again, and gave him directions to redouble his vigi . lance, because the directory could not fuffer any anarchical club;;. Nothing coujd be more wife than this determination but so vague an order must rather puzzle than enlighten the minister ps police, since anarchy maybe brought about in a variety of ways. The jacobins are endeavoring to introduce it ; the royalists are at work at it : and the ambitious dream.of it. Each party hopes to find his account in it, although it has hitherto only proved their graves. It is almost in the essence of clubs to lead to anarchy, because every great assembly of men has a tendency to acquire dominion, and because the powers which they as sume to themselves, is stolen from that which Ihould belong to the legislative bo dy. Clubs may for a moment assist gov ernment, but they ultimately make it pay deah for the aid which they lend it by the yoke which they impoie on it, Besides, how can the directory hinder one party from holding clubs, if it gives permission to another ? We now hear of jacobin clubs, directorial clubs, and revolutionary clubs ; they will not it is true, give themselves these titles, but they will have the fame tendency and the fame objects in view. The only method of preventing this, to pass, according to the spirit of the constitution, a law which iftall put an end to them altogether. ' It is thought that tfle{fire£tbry, by gi ving HedouviMe the chief command of ! St. Domingo, intend to give gen. Ro chambeau the fuperintendance of the Spanish part which has been ceded to us. Maret, the plenipotenliary," who had remained behind at Paris, set off for Lille yesterday. We are allured, that the majority o£ the directory are sensible of the neceffi of agreeing with the legislative body, in order to prevent a ruptute dangerous to all parties, to strengthen the cause of the sincere friends to the constitution, and to bring about a union which is at pres ent so neceflVy for resistance to attacks of all factions. The minister for foreign affairs has just published a bull of the Pope, en joining all French priests to submit to the laws of the republic—Will, the voice of his holiness be as effectual in fcalming the tempest as it has been in railing it ? A vessel which has put into Brest, met fifteen English (hips of war in the nar now leas. Letters the Hague, dated oifcthe 23d ult. mention that Mr. Adams, the resident of the United States of Ameri ca there, was about to return, and that Mr. Murray was Appointed to succeed him. Admiral Lucas died loth, aged 50, at the tiijie they were preparing to enter 011 an examination -of his con duct relative tothe surrender of his squad ron at the Cape. Some of the Dutch Journals have published the secret in ftru£tions which were given to the ad miral. These are dated on the loth of November, , 179£; the admiral did not fail till the February following, yet no change was made in these inftruftions, although in the interval, intelligence had been received of the English having made themselves matters .of the Cape. Letters from Germany mention, that the Hessians had attempted to pass the line of demarcation, and the French had dppofed it; in conference of which, a bloody battle had between the twp psales. A private letter from Milan announces the death of the Pope ; and adds, that the King of Naples had sent a diviiion of his army to penetrate into the eccle siastical ltate. Buonaparte had detached a diviiion of his -army to oppose it. -The little probability which there is in the latter part of the intelligence, gives us reason to entertain doubts as to the for mer part. Afleed Ali Affendi, the Ottoman am baflador, having completed his Quaran tine, mrfde his public entry intq Mar seilles on the 17 th ult.-—The cannons ' were fired on the occasion. . ' Letters from Milan, of the 12th ult, mention that the Difinitive Treaty of Peace between Austria and France, was . signed on the 31ft' May, at Montebello, . by the Marquis di Gallo and Count Meerfeldt, on the one fide, aud Generals Buonaparte and Clark, of the other; af ter which Count Meerfeldt set off for Vienna. It is thought that in eonfe quence of an arrangement agreed on be tween the Plenipotentiaries, that 2 J,OOO Auftrians have left the Tyroffor Bavaria, which it is known, has long been coveted - by the House of Austria. The length f of time/occupied by the secret negocia -1 tions between'the Cabinet of Viennaami - the French government.gave r.ifa to iome uneafitwfs ; but it is said that the Empe ror is certain of being amply indemnifi ; ed for the cession of the Low Countries • and 'of Lombardy, by poffeiTions nearer 'J home, and which will render the House ' of Austria more powerful and more for : midable than ever. It is in T aly that , the most important affairs of Europe are • conducted with secrecy ; that the fate of ; governments is disposed of; that ne\V i republics are created and destroyed, are mingled arid divided and their constitutions, governments, &c. deter mined on. It is there that the House of Austria, having up. arms to destroy the French Republic nas found means to employ its troops in effecting its ambi tious designs. We.are affnred that the Directory has nominated as Minister for Foreign Aff airs, Talleyrand Perigord, the ex-confti ruent; as minister of the Marine, L. I loche, the ex-minister of the republic at the court of Berlin 5 and as minister of Justice, Defmuniers, the ex-constituent. It is added, that the Directory will keep Ramel as Minister of Finance.

To which Mr. Grove replied t Accept, friends and fellow-citizens, the sincere thanks of a heart glowing with gra titude, for this new evidence of your friend ly attachment and regard. Your approbation of my condudt in con gress, gives me reasonable hope, that that conduit is not displeasing to my constituents in general.
