'l'lie »ews of the glorious viflofy obtain, ed by admiral Nelson over the French flejet at the mouth of the Nile, reached us on the 23d of Qftober, and occasioned the utmost .de' mon/lrations of joy throughout the whole fettle ment.

On Monday afternoon, five fail of the line foiled from Yarmouth Roads, as was fuppof • cd oil a cruize off the coast of Holland ; but early the next morning they returned into the Roads ; yesterday afternoon they again failed, and to day are not in light. On Monday the 18th inft. the Telegraph armed brig of 16 guns, with 60 men, com manded by Lieutenant J.

On Friday morning a cutter and two brigs being observed plying to windward, out of the ufuat track, gave rife to a fufpicion.of their being a privateer and her prizes. An orderly dragoon was immediately sent off to the Admiral at Deal ; and the Tailors from our pier-head (with an alacrity that does them credit) manned three of the targe boats kept for the purpose of affifting'fhips in dis tress (Foy-boats), and, without any other arms than a few difablid mulkets, went in pursuit, and, after a chafe of several hours, came up with and recaptured the 4 brigs ; the privateer elcaped, from superior lailing ; the prizes are now lying in our Pier, and prove to be freighted with corn and flour from Yarmouth, bound to TLiverp 01. Ibe privateer, which is from Oftend, is called the Brumfwick, carries 20 men, and was lately taken from fame smugglers on this cdaft ; they had taken nearly all the hands out of the brigj, and put lix of their own into each, who are now confined in the barrack here till they can be removed to "Deal. Admiral Mafi'aredo has lately received two Couriers extraordinary, one after the other, the contents of whose dispatches have not transpired. It is only known that he lias given orders to the crews of all the (hips to hold themselves in readitiefs fsr failing at the firrt signal.—Eight lliips of the line are fit ting out for a secret expedition.

Lord Grenville in the Britidi House of Parliament, on the 19th March in a speech of three hours, on the fubjeft of a Union, said. ' • " What then is the nature of the connex ion ? Does it provide both for the indepen dence of the Parfiainent of Ireland, and for that clofeund inseparable connection foefle n tially requisite for the common ifiterefts of the two countries ? The supposed identity of the legal power in both w»s the only bond and security of that connexion. This in a pure and unmixed monarchy would'no daubt be fufficient, because the power of the Sove reign could be exerted equally, in the lame manner in every part. The cafe, however, was different in a Mixed Government, where the exercise of authority was lini.ted by the different privileges of its component parts. Many examples of this Were to be found in various Governments—.ln Holland, tor in stance, from the time of Sir William Temple down to the deftruftion of the Government of that Country, every friend of the United States had lamented the imperftft connexion wjjich subsisted between them, and every ene my had availed himfelf of the defeft. The jtotericans, on the eftab'ifhment 01 their In dependence, had experienced a firmlar incon venience : the power in the Federal States was found to be too great, and that of the whole too feeble. It had been found necfla ry> therefor*, to abridge the authority ef the States individually, to draw clofcr the'gene lal union, and to enlarge the authority by which the whole was governed and held to gether. Even now perhaps, it was one o'f the principal defefts in the Gonftitut on of the American States, that the powers of the States individually was too extensive, and that of the general Legislature and Govern ment too weak for the public interest and se curity. Ihe want of a general Government to dirett the efforts, and employ the resources of the whole Members of the Confederacy, had contributed to the ruin of Switzerland. Had that country poflefled a Government ca pable of employing and dire&ing its united strength, if might have opposed an efleftual refinance to the violence and-injuftice 0/ the perfidious enemy by whom it was overthrown. Considering the bond of the connexion which subsisted between this country and Ireland at present, he -did not iiefitate to fay that it was nihil, it was not merely weak, but it was none at all.

Scarcely was the most folemnoftreaties concluded be tween tht Emperor and the Empflreori the one part, and Erarice on the other, when the French Government btgan to (how its in tention to take advantage, #ith »he mod manifeft injuitice, of the retreat of the arm ies into (he mijitary. petitions which they had taken, relyirg on. the frcurity of public faith. The peaceable people of Switzer land were subjugated, and the mod violent means were adopted by the French to change that country into a flivifh Ally, and to eftablifll thetfifrlves on the flank of Ger many. They refufed to let provisions enter into the foitrefs of Ehreribreitficin, in op position to the mo ft precise agreements. They blocked up that fortrefs, and without any refpeft for the Rights of Nations and > the indignation of Europe, thef devoted the quiet and inoffenfive inhtbitants of the Thai and the brave garrison of Ehrenbreit ftcin to the miseries of famine. What re mained of the garrison, thus ttarved into a surrender, were compelled to evacuate the place. At the moment whci» such afls of atrocity were committing Unhsard of in the history of the wprld ; at the motnent whvn they continued to levy contributions and im pose requisitions on the Right Bank, when the tone of the French Ministers at Raftadc became every day more imperious, and they accumulated new pretentions ia a manner in jurious t» the Gero as .Nation, they did nut hesitate to demand of us, on the part of France, if we were disposed to prepare any refiilance to future operations of that kind ? To our answer—" if hoftilitie* were put an end to by the French—if Ehienbreitltein was evacuated—if the French army was re treating from t*>e Right Bank; if the French troops in Switzerland which threatened Ger many were withdrawn, and if a reasonable peace was concluded at Raftadt, founded on the rights not on the slavery of the empire no other reply was made on the part of France than that it was hoped that tht Diet would to such a refplution as France might wilh.' A conduft which implied in other terms, " that the French should be be fuffered to continue at their pleasure a£U of hostility, which the Germans, as well as other people, were to consider as amicable and pacific afts-" To that ministerial an swer of the French has been this moment added to the declaration of th: General of the French army, Rating that it is at pfefent thought proper they Ihould prepare them fclves by taking advantageous military posi tions.

I atn imprefled Vrth the futleft conviftion, that the army under my orders will execute thi arrangement* which I have made in paf iing this day the Lech, for that grand na tiol, and lac red objeft, with the confidence and unlimited attachment of..which I have re ceived such multiplied proois in so many e pochs, decisive of the fate, of Germany, and in a manner which will Lmigoitalize in the ahnals of war its inviolable |oyalty, and its unshaken bravery. I have taken every pre caution that my brave troops (hall not be in want of neceflary provisions. I re main, therefore, in the roost positive con fidence, that all and every one of them will conduct themselves towards the inhabitants of the towns and countries who are onr friends, with the attention and scrupulous care required by equity and justice, as well as by the firft principles of morality. But should any individual be so far forgetful of their duties, as to stain by excesses the honor and glory of the army to which they belong, I solemnly declare that they fliall be punish ed with all the rigour of . military law. As I am not less certain that it is in the of every commanding officer to.prevent ex cefles of all kinds by tlie mHihtenar.ee of or der and discipline, I herrbj make the differ ent commanders of regiments and tf rpsjer fonally rcfponfible for every inltance of that nature which may happen. , One of the Candidates for a feat in the Legiilauire otthis State at the elettion l.ite ly closed, amongst other artifices used . to wriggle himfelf into power,promifrd a poor cartman, if he would vote for the Deniocta ticTicket,and if thac ticket,fhould eventually fuceeed, he would procure him the office:of Inspector, of Lumber for the city of New- York.
