UNION WITH IRELAND..
On th;&. important ar.d interfiling' question
a pamphlet has lately appeared in Dublin
under the title of Arguments for and against
the Union considered, from which our rea
ders mull, we are convinced, be gratified with
some extrafts. The following are the wb
fervations of this author, on the general.ad
vantages in point of national ftreugth to be
derived from an union of the two countries;
France well knows the principle and the
force of incorporation;. Every state which
{he unites to herfelf she makes part of her
empire one and indivisible, and will not lui'-
fer any mention to be made in negotiation of
restitution. Whilst in her affected plans of
policy for the liberties of the Britilh empire,
flie maintains the principle of reparation as
efTent'ul to freedom ; she conlidered the urn
on of England and Scotland as art ufurpa
tipn of the foririr ; ana leaving England
to her fate would make Scotland and Ireland
f-parate republics. France well knows the
adage, durn singuli p'.'gnar.t, universi vin
rwntur ; and she has pbyed chat game l'uc-
But a» we wiih to check the am
bition of that desperate and unprincipled
poiW<;r, and t ' lat on d can only be effected
by maintaining and augmenting the power of
Briufll ejppire, we should be favorable
to the principle ot usiion, which muit incrqale
3.id cunlolidate its resources.
if an union may be desirable between two
independent kingdoms, it mult be most desir
able when two such kingdoms are united un
der one sovereign, and have separate legifla
t'jres; for they have all the di [advantages
■without the advantages of an union. The
sovereign mud reside in one of the kingdoms:
there would of course be tne metropolis of
tlie empire ; there would be the real feat of
the government; thence would flow all the
counfcls; and thither world resort those
who wilhed for favour and emolument. The
kingdom where "lie monarch did not reside,
not having the origination of all counfcls and
meafurtjs, and having much of it? rents car
ried away by ahfenteet, would be in a perpe-,
tual flue of jealousy and discontent ; and be
ing separate in all refpeets but in the indivi
dual person of the monarch, would be a prey
to foreign f iftion ; and an empire thus com
posed could never be in a slate of full secu
rity, for there never could be a certainty
that all parts of it would pursue the fame
fyflem.
The obje&ions to this predicament were
so Ilrong in Scotland before the union, that
the Scots brought in a bill of settlement, to
provide that their monarch should never be
the fame person as the king of England ; up
on this the alternative of Union or Sepata
tion became inevitable, and at length the;
■wifely preferred the former.—.What ha
been the consequence ? The Scotch, becarrt
ing entitled to all the privileges of Britifl
fubje&s, have greatly *dded to their own ci
vilization, and wealth ; have enjoyed inter
nal tranquility and security, and enablei
Great Britain by the confoUdation of tiv
whole island under one government, to read
that height of prosperity and gk>ry, uhici
makes her the envy and the prot<j&refs ch
Europe.
In the situation which Scotland I«ld pre
fcnt; except that the crown of Ireland is bj
express statutes of declaration and necogni
tion perpetually annexed to and dependeni
upon the crown of England ; so "that who.
ever is king of England, i» in right of thai
title ipso facto, king of Ireland. The kin;,
of Ireland, at the king of Scotland before tht
union, retides in another kingdom. Th<
counsels for the government of Ireland an
framed in the Britifli cabinet ; the govern
ment of Ireland is adually administered b)
a Britilh lord lieutenant, who distribute:
the patronage of the crown ; the Irilh par
liament is supposed to be in a great degru
fubjeft to British influence, and near om
million of the rents of the kingdom are an
■nually exported to sbfentces. The jealou
lies upon these points are great and unavoid
able, and form the perpetual topic for in
flaming the minds of the people in newlpa
pers, and the unvarying theme of complain
»nd inveiTtive by parliamentary opposition
Nor Cin this inconvenience cease whilst as
fairs remain as at present ; for so long a:
we foim part of the British empire, we mu{
acknowledge one executive power, one pre
siding cabinet; and it is of indifpeniible ne
ceiiity for that cabinet to induce every par
©f the empire to pursue the fame principle:
of a&ion, and to adopt the fame fyftetn o
Hieafures, as far as pofTible ; and as the in
terefts of England mull ever preponderate
a preference will be always given to her, o:
supposed to be given, which has the faineef
fed. The Irish parliament is certainly it
its inllitution independent ; it may when i
pleases aft contrary to the policy of the em
pire ; it may exhort the king to make wai
when the views of England are pacific ; ii
driven into or.e by neceflity ; and it has ac
t ial!y asserted a right to choose a regent o
its own appointment, diftinft from the re
gent of Great Britain ; it may also declan
agau;ft treaties, and refule to ratify com
raercial articlts. Now if Ireland, having
these power*, should at any time exert then
in opposition to the conduit of England, th<
empire would be endangered' or dtlTolved
and so long as the parliament of Ireland
-orr; motives cf Jifcretir-n and prudence
d-.es not exert them, it will be fubjett t<
the imputation cf bcin? meanly and corrupt
ly liibfervirnt to the English cabinet : anc
the imputation being conftemtly repeated
and always liable to be renewed, will havi
in future, as it has had alieaiy, a prejudi
sial influence on the public mind, leading
the people to diltiuft acd disparage their le
giflature.
Decernlvr,
ftHelligei ce from Par s, ta:d to be receiv
ed yesterday, was fp ken of w ih the utmofl
confidence last nighi, in some of the firfl cir
cles of real and authentic communication.
According to thefc, Liflc, in Flanders, ii
n>»t the only part that has declared its en
■ mity to the governing powers ; and in the
j capital itftlf they are daily under apprehen
j fion of frtfli and the mod alarrhing commo-
tiori.
Four thou'and Auftriau officers, who
forved to the army employed in Italy agianft
Buonaparte in his co»qutft of that country,
have been dismissed the service, upon fame
thin" more than the fujpicim of having been
in the pay us the French -dire&ory.
LORD NELSON.
[ At the latter end of last year, this gallant
officer received apenfion of a thou land pounds
per annum in conference, as was said, of
the loss of his arm, but in fȣt as a small re
coropence for a whole life of danger, hard
(hip, cnterprize, and service. Previous to
the ifluing of the grant a positive cuftora re
quired, that lie should diflinAly state hisiir
vices to his majesty. The following is the
memorial which was delivered in upon the
occasion :
To the king's most excellent majesty, the
memorial of Sir Horatio Nelson, K. B.
and rear admiral majesty's feet,
Humbi.y Shewkth.
That, during the present war, your me
marialift has been :n four aftions with the
fleets cf the enemy, viz. cm the 13th and
t4 of March 1795; and the 13th July 1795
—.aid the 14th of February 1797 ; in three
adtions with fiieates ; in fix engagements
again ft batteries; in ten tfttotls in boits
employed in cutting out of harbors ; in d'e
ftroying veff-ls, and in taking three towns.
Your memorialist has also fervtd on (hore
with the army four months, and comin-.tnJ
ed the batteries at the siege of Baftia and
Calvi. That during the war he has assisted
at the capture of seven fail of the line, fix
frigates, fiur corvettes, and eleven priva
teers of different sizes ; and taken and de
stroyed near fifty fail of merchant veflels ;
and your memorialist has a&ually been en
gaged against the enemy upwards of one hun
dred and twenty times. In which service
your memorialist has loft his right eye and
arm, and been severely wounded and bruis
ed in his body. All of which ferviees and
wounds your memorialist most hombly sub
mits to your majesty's most gracious confid-
eration.

HORATIO NELSON.
O&ober 1797.
From the Political Journal of Hamburgh, for
November, 1798.
HOLLAND.—A general and daily in
creasing derangement, which clogs the
wheels of government in all parti of the po
litical body, and produces a stagnation of in
daftry and financial operations, formi the
charaftenflic feature*-, of the go.
vernment. Th«- com mercial city of Middle
s' irg, followed the example of Amsterdam,
declaring' itfelf inlolvcnt, and tequefting sup
port from the national treasury, after giving
• diflrefiful account of its ruined finances.
But the national treasury itfelf was likewif?
in a calamitous and helpless situation, and
si ancial derangement! were still multiplied,
by th« council of elder, having reje&td the
cor ftitluio< al resolution of transforming the
debts of the late provinces into national
de* t«.
O' e of the principal impediments, where
by the operations of tht new government;
; were obflruded, was the general difconte it
! and the displeasure as the people at the pro
ceedings of government, which were not fe-
I conde 1, but rather countera&ed. Thus the
mtmb. r» of a comraittte, appointed to frame"
a new code of laws, declined their charge
and the direftory gave notice hereof to the
legislative body, enjoining tbem to use" cosy
five mesfurea. U der these circurn fiances,
the Batavian govrrnmcnt was newly alarmed
by the violent infurre<Stion in Belgium,
which by its extent, duration amd obstinacy,
took so menacing an afpeft, that the grea
test part of the French troops in the pay of
Holland, were ordered to march from thence
against the Belgian insurgents. Strong mea
fures were concerted to defend the frontiers
of Holland, partly in order to prevent the
further spreading of the infurreftion, partly
to cut off a retreat of the insurgents into
the territory of the Bat.vian republic. A
strong body of troops was therefore collefted
and ordered to Ration themselves on the
frontiers.
New lo(Te8 abroad soon affjeiated them
selves to the evils of the interior. Two of
the belt Dutch frigates, the Fury of 36
guns and 153 men. and the Wankfamkeed,
of 26 guns and 100 men, having on board
287 French soldiers, 600® (land of arms,
and many other warlike implements, beside
a great quantity of money, had scarcely left
the Texel on ther way to Ireland, when
1 hey became a prey to the British. Both
furrendercd to the captain of the Britilh fri
gate Sirus of 36 guns, thr fi r ft having made
but a weak refiitahce, and the latter none
at all.
Last month a lift was made out of the re
maining naval foro«« of Holland, according
to which there lay at present in the Texel,
two (hips of the line of 74 guns, 6of 68,3
♦effels of war of j6,a of 48 and 44 gun 6,
and 8 frigates j in the Maas, 4 (hip» of the
line of 74 and 68 guns, and one frigate.
Brfid. s these, there were in the port* of
Amsterdam and Rotterdam, 8 Ihips of the
line and 4 frigates, with some small vefiels
of war. But of the whole of this marine,
pait of which oiily is lit for use and ferWce
wa> continually blocked Bp by the combi
ned Ruffians and Englilh fleets, and thus re
duced to a palSve Hate of ina&iviiv, where
by its existence was rendered aimoft useless.
At Amft«rd»ni, Rotterdam, J^ey-
den, and other places, the diTooMtrntl of
the manifelled themfelses in violent
fpeeche j a d threats, d n"twith(l»' ciiagf
the military force being- on the fide of the
ruling party, the latter saw itft lf daily ex
posed to the dangers of violent commoti

To impugn the- weigkt of this precedent,
a hackneyed (lory (which h.is been in use on
foch occaficr.s, time immemorial) was the

a traveller of, the road and delivering to him

ulr. Hopkmfon, the deputy attorney gen
eral fcr the county of Philadelphia, very
happily remarked, in reply, that more rogues
had rode off upon that eld, fpavin'd, wind

MB. Fehhq,
It is with pleasure underflood that Mr.
Peter Helm agrees to serve ai commilEoner
lor the county of Philadelphia—to fay that
he deserves, on this occahon the confidence
of his fellow citizens, it language too £te
l)fe and inadequate to his merits—he has
with credit to himfelf, and benefit to the
county, fcrved in that capacity before ; he
has during the molt trying Jcafons, Volun
tarily remit red services which the utmost
gratitude of tfi£ citizens can alone repay—
During the fever ot 1797 -he superintended
the hospital at the Wigwam and executed
the trust rcpofed in him with firmnefs and
humanity, any thing that envy or malice
can fay to the contrary notwithstanding
Certificates now in his pofleflion from the
highest authority warrant the a (Tertian. Dur
