By the brig Caledouia, Capt. Hunter, from Dublin, to New-York, accounts are received from Ireland to the 7th, and from London to the 3d of April The Aflembly at Warsaw, Poland, have de :lared, in a note to the Bricifh Minister, Mr. Hailes—that the Republic would never give up, on-any condition, the smallest part of its posses sions—particularly Dantzic and Thome. This resolution was made in consequence of informa tion received from the Poli/h Minister at Vienna, reipeiTtiiig certain propositions from the Court of Berlin. . Some accounts received by the late arrival at New-York from Dublin, fay that the profpeft of a war with Ruflia, has enhanced the price of linens in Ireland In (forming Hmael, the Ruffians loft 70oo*men; in this number were three Major-Generals, one Brigadier, fix Colonels, forty Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors, and from 2 to 300 other coinmiflion ed officers. The life of one fellow-creature, in the estimation of humanity, is worjJi more than all the"glory and triumph con^oeft. By the votes of the two hoYles of Parliament, it appears that the Britifli government is deter mined to interpose its power for bringing about a peace between Rufiia and the Porte. The armed neutrality, during the last war, affords the precedent for the warlike preparations now making in England. How far Catharine willre lith being diiflsted to, time will discover.

On this occasion, a person well acquainted with the affairs of Sweden, makes the following' re marks :—The confutation of Sweden lias lntlch more regard to personal liberty in some very ca pital circumstances than the British, or that of any Monarchy in Europe: Accordingly, the court before whom the rebellious officers were tried, proceeded with extraordinary caution, and did not condemn nlore than a few arch-trai tors afcer a trial that lalled foine months, and was laid before the public in a minute detail. The King, who with heroic fortitude, has " the milk of human nature" in his veins, would, after nil, permit only one facrifice to the national se curity. This lenity might be fatal to hiin and to Sweden if both were not guarded by a patri otic and loyal people. That the people of England should haveacon ftirution " written on their hearts," is thought by fonie a novel and unfounded idea. But it may be asked, should this country ever be so far cursed as that innovators, in their rage for change, should annihilate the/orraof theprefent excellent balanced constitution' of the United States, would it not be found that the peop]e of tbii country have the principles of a free constitu tion written on their hearts? Would they not re cur to those principles which are immutable, and indelibly iinprefled on our natures ? They would —and after ftiffering for a season demagogal ty ranny, their sober feufes would bring them back to a government founded on reason, equality and juflice. Previous to adoptingour present confti turion, which is nothing more than a definite and express arrangement of acknowledged prin ciples, we were in the difgraceful (ituaiiou that some appear defirons of feeing us again reduced to —But it is to be hoped, that the present per manent position of the federal government, and the proipetSl of continued tranquility in these States, are a death-warrant to the hopes of sedi tion and anarch v. What are eqr/al rights? This is a term fre quently made use of, but it is fufpedted with very different meanings. The constitution of the United States holds out the belt commentary upon them—that has opened the door to genius and patriotism wherever discovered—every citi zen is eligible to the honor of serving the pub lic, wbofe merits entitle him to the diltinclion— every man is by that constitution fecuied in the polieffion of his acquisitions, whether of fcientific or pecuniary property, and consequently secured in all the advantages and privileges conne&ed with them. Were this not the cafe, the springs of industry would be broken, and every fiimnlus to enrerprize destroyed. Equal rights then ftridt ly mean, security of property, person and life.
