INFERNAL'OUTRAGE.
I A gpng of United Irishmen, yesterday
befetthe house of Mr. Brown, Editor of the
-' Philadelphia Gazette, at fever&l different
* times during the day,- but not finding him
it home or finding him aimed, were repeat
«lly toiled in their design to murder him.
At about' 2 o'clock, however, several of
, them carried their ddign partly into execu
' : tion, by aflaulting and abuling Mr. Brown
V:.' -in the mod cruel and'barbarous manner.
. The following publication was declared by
the affallins to be the ground of their outra
-1 ges.
Dr. Reynolds in the Chair !
011 Monday the 18th inft. a number of
United Irishmen assembled to get drunk to
gether at a private bouse, having neither
calh nor credit to procure an entertainment
ata public one—Dr. Reynolds wus unani
mously calkd to the chair—what a villain
ous gang mult it have been when he was the
chief ! -The toafls and music ufedon the oc
casion, have in them a degree of hardiness
-ana contempt for the public feeling of this
country, thai could scarcely have been Jook
ed for even from the desperate band that
huzza'dto them.
" TbcFrtHcb Republic—lrifhmen cannot be

What has France done to deserve the
gratitude of Ireland ? Under deception af
ter deception, under promises of assistance
and protection, which France did not and
could not afford, Ireland became plunged in
to a scene of univerlal uproar and oarnage,
and is gashed with ifiany a deep wound,
which year; will not heal. Who (hould
curse France more loudly than Reynolds and
his associate in rebellios ? Did not this per
£dy of France, this promised aid which ne
ver arrived, drive him and his afiociates in
to extremities,.riot at firft contemplated;
and whicH jiave ended in the banishment of
Reynolds and m*ny hundred of his bre
thren—in the hanging-, of such as were not
fortunate enough to tfcape, and the entire
difcomfiture ef the whok: iyftem of iinfur

" Alexander James Dallas; the indepen

That these fellows ihould toast their At
torney is no way remarkable ; as Iri/hmen
etnnot be ungrateful, it was certainly indis
pensable ; but that the fhotild talk of the
independence of the Bar, is most nifh
ingly impudent.—.lt is not afccrtained be
yond all controvcrfy.that everyjuror,witnefs,

man, vvaa exposed almost to certain aflafilna

among whom Reynolds, was a leading cha
rafter.—lt was evi'n a solemn resolution,
that if a United ififhman, cor.fented to a
Terdift against a Uniied Irishmen, "he ought
to lofc his cxi Hence." Here, is the indepen
dence of jullice then finely disposed of:
And yet these fellows ha*e the effrontery to
come here and prate about the independence
of the Bar;
Many observations might be made on
this private entertainment; but as it may have
keen the priipal obje&of these poor wret
£hts "to push about thej>rum," and get
mellow without expence, it is a pity to in
terfere with the only pleasure they can en
joy.
Although the murderous deeds of this the
®c(ldftctt:ble banditti, that ever infefted a
civilized community cry aloud for theaveng
lng arm of justice ; and although xhe violat
ties of nature, the offendo , d|charitit,s of i'o

COMMUNIGA fED .
Yesterday morning, a dark-visaged United
Irishman, who appeared, by his looks and
manners, to have recently escaped to this
country,' called on Mr. Brown,' the Editor
of the Philadelphia Gazette, and began in an
abulive manner to.queflion him refpe&ing a
(publication in which one Reynolds, the chief
of the gang, had been properly treated for
his impudence in toasting the French Re
public at a recent fea'ft on St. Patrick's day ;
Mi. Biown, in a fpinted manner, drove the
fellow from his door, but without that chaf
. tiiement whicb he so riciily defcrved. About
2 o'clock, two more of this gang of ruffians,
lushed in upon Mr. Brown while he was
dining aloue, and one of them attacked him
with a bludgeon, while another", of luperior
size and ftre'ngth, held a 'young man Who
would otli.rwife have handed Mr. Brown a
weapon for his defer.ee—,fter Running Mr.
Brown by a feveie blow on the head the vil
lain seized him by the h-Jfc, and with his
feet, by the most violent efforts, attempted
to destroy him, but being fuddehly alarmed
by the approach of the neighbours,' both the
villains mrfde off; soon after the principal of
the gang (Reynolds) had the impudence to
. Iliew himfelf, and was soon followed by two
others, and several mort were seen lurking
about the door, apparently to effect a res
cue, in cafe of need. None of thtfe fellows
were known except Reynolds, who, by keep
ing jbimfelf apparently detached', seemed to
hope that he might escape being implicated
in thjs detefbble plot; but it is hoped that
the unerring hand of juftife may soon over
take the whole of. these horrid conspira
tors, who having, already forfeited their
lives by treasons in their own country, are
ft ill anxious to meet their dfferts in this.
To Mr. FENNO.
Sir,
I FIND myfelf under the disagreea
ble necessity of appealing to the public, in
contradidion of a malicious and unfounded
falfehood, which appeared in your paper of
the 27th inft. under the New-York head,
which dates that I had compelled a French
privateer to strike, and then had not courage
to take pofleffion of her.
Every, mar* who is acquainted with the
duty of a commander of a veflel of war, will
admit, that if the privateer had struck, it
was not my duty to take pofleffion of her,
but to have feat an officer.
The report may have aril'en from my
chafing'a French privateer into the illand of.
St. Euftatia, at which I fired a number of
shot ; which chafe I continued r s near to the
as I thought prudent' and proper; all
.the particulars of which were communicated
to thepfaper office?. '
The report imitated as having come from
one of my officer?*- which I am convinced is
as impoflible as it is rtutrue,
THOMAV\VILLIAMS.
?c7* the different printers who have in
serted the aforefaid paragraph, Its requested
to give a place to this also.
