'I \ From the [The Scot's-Iriihman is really lorry, that he could not accommodate the language of this friar to the delicate organ's of those for whpfe life it is designed ; but indeed they mull blame the ptrverfe obstinacy of the Muse. He reprefentetl to her the fine mu sical sense of the people- for-whom the song. was to be wrote, and begged of l»er, for once, to exchange her .barbarous pronuncia tion for the fofter tones of a more cultivat ed language', that her " canna's" and " din nas" were become quite intolerable ; but the telly little Scots Gentlewoman grew angry gowk," and gilly-gapas"—(he said that (he had sung her songs in her native dialect to far better folk than him or his fine-eared Jacobins, to whom, (he supposed, he now intended to make his court ; she called him " faufe, ungratefu' tyke," that had it not been for htr " barbarous pronunciation," and her " intolerable cannas and dinnas," hi: name would not be known fix miles from hiscihin, but now it was spread all over the country, and bye and bye it would get into a hook, and be, perhaps carried all over the continent.—But, readers ! you all know how an enraged lady will go on, when her vanity is hurt. The Author attempted sev eral times to interrupt her and at lafl when file paused for want of breath, he again re monftratecl, but to no purpose : (he still ftorm-d, and flatly told him, if he took not the Song in the language (he chose to give it, he might want it.—Unaccustomed as he is to female brawls, what could the poor poet do ?—He took up his pen', and quiet ly submitted—And he is sure, that numbers of the good people for whom this Song is in tended, who are married men, will applaud him for h\sprudence.—He has, however so far prevailed with the crusty Lady, as togive the Song a very tweet a/?, which he hopes, will, in foine measure, atone for tbe harsh ness of the rJords.~\ A NEW SONG FOR THE JACOBINS, BY THE SCOTS-IRISHMAN.

JOHN VAUGHUN spril 20 iFprdfftt The people are raoll generally difcontent edattbe conduct of the Neapolitans. The commander of the garrison, D. Diego Na felli, banidies not only the Republicans, but likpwife theTufcans. , He orders all couriers to be flopped at the gates, opens the letters, and allows those only to pass which he thinks proper. The king of Sardinia arrived at Placenza at three in the morning of the 17th, with a train of twenty and three chariots, escorted by a hundred and twenty French hufiars,' and eighty Piedmontefe dragoons, who wore the French cockade. He set for wards yeflerday for Borgo San Domino, and he palled through this city about two this afternoon. Our Duke has paid him the highefl honors. BRUSSELS, Jan. 9. Several large detachments of cavalry and infantry continue to traverse night and day such of our departments as are flili in ft (led with rebels. These are particularly the de departments of Ourthe, of the Lower Meufe and of Dyle. The troops are obliged to watch alt night, notwithflanding the severi ty of the weather. They have lately de flroyed a..band of the rebels, who defended themselves with much fury : and in other partial adtions have made a number of pri soners. The greater part of the army ©f Mentz, encamped on the left Bank of the had received orders to repair to Belgium, there to remain until ths end of the pref?nt trou bles. These orders, however, have been countermanded, and these troops are now on their march to Italy through Switzerland.— A great number of deserters continue to ar rive at Coblentz from the fortrefs of Ehren. breiftein. According to their reports, the garrison has plenty of fl&ur, but is in Want of every other article. Every three days an half pouqd only of fait meat is given to each man. They feel most severely the want of wood at this inclement season. It is said that Spain is making pn parationsfor War*, and that flie is meditating an expedition to retake the.island of Minor . ca ? of which the Bng'lilh made thewfelvj?: matters,at threepence only of a few {hot, ■The Prince of Wales packet, which fai'tec from London the 15th Nivofe, carried *oH( ail order, to Lord St. Vincent, off Cacliz* to F detach two ships of the line vo join, general j Stewart.

The facility- witlvwhich they took Minorca makes theni conceive the hope of easily taking the other, i. We are (lilt ignorant of the fate qf the agents of the, Republic Who were ?t Naples fore the last hoftiKties ; but we, at* | length know what were the Orders which a court as bliHd in its fury as it was extrava gant in its enterprises gave; concerning them, , immediately after the declaration of war. | They were exposed to the insult? of a fa natic people ; they were loaded with oppro brium ; they were forced to hear the menaces of the mSfl worthless, and what was flill more affecting, the imprecations which these con temptible men threw out against the Re public. Such was their fate during the 24. hours which was granted them to embark. They did «mbark—Their destination was for Ge noa, but they have not yet arrived at Genoa, nor at any other port in Italy. If'they had been delivered up to the (hip of the enemy, we fliould bfive heard of the vefTel which car£ ried them being taken. What is become of them then ) Have we a new injury to avenge —a new crime to punish ? Time, and that time not distant,' will disclose the truth. The garrison of Mantua has received a reinforcement of 3000 Piedmontefe,and that of Brescia, has also received an addition of 2000 troops from the fame country. It is said that the commandant of Ehren breitftein has called forfuccours both from the emperqr and the king of Pruflia, and that both the one and the other have said, that they cannot assist him. The garrison makes daily signals, which are believed to be signals of extreme distress. There was a new piece came out at the Theatre in the city, entitled Les Irlandais Unis. It was crowned with applause. There were some well written scenes and full of ef fect. The minister of the marine, in a speech which he made to the officers and people of the dock yards on the 21 ft, said, that though the French navy had not shared in the glo ries of the French armies, it was about to do so. Its turn is coming. The creative regards of the direftory are turned towards the ocean. Vengeance is'preparing herfelf agairift the cunning English. Naples pro mises us a new arsenal. In a few days Si cilly will become the granary of Malta. In a few days the Mediterranean will be cleared of the auxiliaries of the perfidious Ferdinand. The mir.ifter concluded with a declaration, that he would speedily give to the French navy the means of revenge. J Roof. Gen. Berthier, with Buonaparte's young est brother, is arrived in Corsica.

LEGHORN, Dec. 17 On the 28th November in the afternoon, after leghorn had furrendcred, Admiral Lord Nelson went on (hore, and was receiv ed with the loudest marks of applause by the people. The number of Neapolitan troops then amounted to 4000 men, and 7000 more were expedled. In the har bour of, Leghorn there was aGenoefe mer chant fleet,con fitting of 70 fail,under convoy of a xebec, and which, according to letters of the 3d instant, it appears the British Ad miral treated as prizes The Genoese Con sul has protested against this aft ; and the Tuscan Government has promised redress. An armament cenfifting of 4000 men has failed from this place, but the destina tion of it is unknown. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3 An official communication was this day made by the Divan to the foreign Ministers relident at Constantinople, that the English Commodore Hood, who had for some time blocked up the harbour of Alexandria, had sent a number of gun-boats, furnifhed by the Ottomans, against a strong fort erefted by the French near Aboukir, upon which they had mounted a vast number of cannon for the proteflion of the (hipping and the port, when theFranch having been compel led to evacuate their position, the Commo dore put a fuflicient garrison into the fort ; (hortly after which the Governor of Rhodes sent to hinvfeveraj, thousand troops, which obliged the French toretire in various 6ther dirediions, when the Turks took a position that effectually prevented Buonaparte from •communicating with either Alexandria or >Rofetta.

" Gentlemen, " I am sorry to inform you of cur mis fortune : However, I have dop.e all that any man could do to save your property. " The 22d day after I left Boftoi, I fell in with the ship Indtiftry, Capt. Goodwin, and kept company with her until the 25th of Jan then parted off Ceuta. The rext morning early, I saw two privateers comtng out fivm Malaga, who pafled by U3 then tacked (hip and followed us. As f-on as they got within reach, I hoisted my colours and gave thee a (hot from quar ter : 1 hey immediately hoitled French co louts, ai d both gave me a (hot, and gotdi reft a-ftern. I then cut my stern ports down to the deck, and got my two longest guns out a-ftern. In the mean time they had fired the second (hot, and had got quite near me. I then commenced firing my llern chafes, ar.d the second (hot I cut away the jib and half the foremaft of the largest pri vateer, which caused them to drop a little farther afttrn and we all continued firing fromgo'cloak till 12 and their guns being so much larger than mine, they kept cut ting away my rigging, when I could scarce reach them. By this time I was becalmed, and saw another privateer coming a-hcad, and fired al2 pound (hot at me, and those tak ng advantage of the calm with their oars kept in such direflion, that I could not fire a gun—neither did they un til they came within mulket (hot, when they gave me a charge of grape and mufltet (hot, which cut away my main-topsail yard, jib.an d fore-fopmaft stays, both top gallant (heets and halyards, so that they are all hanging overboard. I fired my mulfcets once, and finding resistance useless, hauled down my colours ; being then about 4 miles from land, and 8 fiom Malaga. I fired my Item guns about 40 times, and two wind ward ones about 10, and it is the molt sur prising thing, that they killed none of my men, tho' v. e received above 300 (hot into our vessel. " The firft boat that boarded me had one brass 9 pounder, and four 3's, and 40 men, of which I killed two and wounded fix— the second was a small one of only one gun and 4 swivels—the third was a privateer of nine guns, one 12 and eight 8 pounders, and 60 men. " I dare fay you have heard of the cap ture of your schooner, Capt. Grille, long before this. As I cannot juftify Capt.
