The L.'Heche, of 84 guru, taken by ad miral Warren, off Tory Island, is named the Donegal, after the county in Ireland. The house of John Mayes, on the North Quay, Yarmouth, was some nights since de stroyed by -fire. Mayes, on the firft alarm, fled ; but recolle&ing his wife, returned through the flames and brought her out in ■ fafety. He was now so rafhas to return a fccond tirjie, in the hope to f) the Seagull (loop of war. L 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.

" The movement made by the French army on the id inftaol, to march forward from the pofitiom' which it had occupied un til that time, induces me to offer to the Ge terais of llie Aiir.ies of the Empire, a I 1 0" lfvie# of the events which Sad happened about an year past with tefpe£\ to ourfclves, and which have at length brought us to the p.'int in which we are iow placed. 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. Probably to enable-them, when they are fufficiently prepared, to fall with their combined force on the Germans, to push on at the fir ft infant the Helvetic Republic as far ss the Danube ; to make that river and the Lech its limits, and to penetrate ft ill more forward.' Cadiz, Feb. 14. The firft military Hieafure diftated by pru dence again!) the Frcnoh>ara>y> -which hat ad-* vaTicrd from its positions, Ihould be the a doption of evyr,y step which the security and tranquility .of Germany render indispensable. 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. The result of the canvas is generally known: but the effects of the difappcint ment on the mind of the cartman, it is not easy to conceive. He had begun to assume an air ofgreatnefs preparatory to his entrance on the promised post ; and, from the revolu tion of sentiment which has taken place in the city, he has strong apprehtnfions that himfelf and his patron are likely to wear out the re mander of life in the obfeurity and inligni ficance to which thev were originally destined both by nature and education.
