FROM DUBLIN PAPERS,
Received, by the, Draper, Collins, from
Dublin, arrived at New-York.
DUBLIN, Nov. 10.
The following authentic intelligence ap
peared in a poftcript of ourlaft publication :
By advices from vice adm ral Kingfmill,
dated Cove, Nov. i, it appears, that the
Caesar was fafe arrived there, having carried
away her foretop mall, maintop mad, gal
lant mail, and forefail, in a gale of wind,
when on the point of engaging the four
French frigates which had been in Killala
Bay. The Caesar, however, left the Terri
ble, of 74 guns, and the Melpomene, of 44,
who were in fucK a situation ai to be certain
of bringing the French to aftion, so that
we hav; every reason to hope that the whole
will be captured.
This accounts for the firing heard off
Achill Head on the 28th of Oftober."
It appears by the last English mail, that
although every reasonable probability ekifts
of the truth of the current rumours of tali
week (the recovery of Malta, ar.d the distress
of Buonap rte) no intelligence in confirma
tion of circumstances so much to be wished,
has yet been received in London.
The blockade of St. Elmo, the only fort
in Malta, remaining in die pofieflion ot the
French —the utter iirpt.fiibility of their re
ceiving a' v leinloretmcnt of relief by sea ,
ar.d the retreat of Buonaparte from Cairo
to Rofetta, are authenticated fafts, from
which, with every reasonable certainty, the
truth of these reports may be positively in
ferred.
LONDON, Nov. 10.
Soon after our paper (Sun) wis vefter
day put toprefs, we hid occalion to flop it,
to announce from undoubted authority, that
a very ftrious infarreftion had broken out
at Brab.lnt.slld Flatidert. Piivate accounts,
upon the authority of which we yesterday
stated the interesting faft, add, that the in
furgei ts were ft ill in force to the number
of 12,000.
The suspension of all interconrfe between
France an-1 Holland, as well as this coun
try, by the medium of .cartels, has given
rile tu an opinion, that foffle commotions
kave taken place at Paris. We thing this
extremely likely to bs the cafe.
ALEXANDRIA, January 27.
ExtraS of a Letter from a gentleman of ref
ftßab'ility in Richmond to his friend in this
7 own, dated January to 1799.
" Every given more convincing
proofs of the fuccefa of Mar/hall's Eleftion ;
and it is said thafMr. Henry will come into
the Legislature, but I much doubt it.
" The legiiflatute are about 1 passing an ap
peal to the People, in the ftape of an ad
drtfs, fraught with the most direful senti
ments to the government of the United
State*. Times are alarming—civil diffen
tions, if not aftual civil war, may be ex
pefted. Nobody can millake.the meaning of
Taylor of Caroline. He is the prime m«-
rer, and is surrounded by those who move
pretty much as he direfts——One week
more, and all their projects will be out. A
bill is ordered to be brought into the house,
arraying the State Judges against those of
the United States, iR cases that may occur
under the ftdition aft, the avowed objeft of
which is to set at liberty any person who
ftiall be prosecuted under that aft.
Taylor's refolutiow, which you have seen
Nicholas's substituted in place of those
proposed by Giorge K. Taylor— the appeal,
or address to the people—and the bill orde
red to be brought in, will fill up the measure
of hiftility, on the part of this state against
the United States. The government of
the United States m*ft protest irfelf or
yield to the force of Virginia. Such open
hostilities cannot and mull not be passed o
ver in silence. Another projeft is before
the house, for arming en maffc all the militia
of the Commonwealth—this is alfot he
fqheme of Taylor and his party—and
who can doubt the objeft ? It is not to pre
pare to defend the nation againit a foreign
foe, for this party boldly assert, that there
is no such danger to be apprehended. What
then is the objeft? The resolutions menti
oned, afts contemplated, and the manifeftp
to the people, are the bed elucidations."
NORTH-CAROLINA
In the House of Commons, December
24th, 1798. The general assembly of
North-Carolina view with pain the alien and
sedition afts, passed at the last session of the
congress of the United States—they consid
er those afts not only as operating- a viola
tion of the principles of the couftitution, but
as being altogether improper and unnecessa
ry :
Therefore, resolved, That the senators
from this state in the congrefsof the United
States, be direfted, and that the rep*efen
tatives of the state be re que (led, to use every
endeavor ill their power to cru'fe that the a
bove mentioned afts be repealed without de
lav.
' Resolved, That'the Governor of the state
be requested to forward eopies of the forego
ing resolutions by the earliest conveyance
to the senators and representatives of this
state in the congress cf the United States.

To the Editor of the Aurora>
Please to inform the public that sundry
late paragraphs in your paper, ftigmatiziug
the people, clergy and government of Con

He is a native .of Jersey ; but as well known
in the eastern states, as the cranes at Castle

He is now in this city upon the on

a petition in favor of the Vermont Spitter.
I forbear to fay more, left I should trespass
