COHK, May 3®.
Extraft of a letter fr»m Ennilcorthy, dated
May 15;
" On Saturday 'the icth of May inft.
Nicholas Walfh was executed ®n Vinegar
Hill, (the principal Theatre et his savage
atrocities) pufrfuant to sentence of a court
lrurt'ul held at Wexford the 24th of April
last.
" Walfh, oil hearing that his head was
to be fixed on the Castle of Ennifcorthy,
had" his hair close cropped ; but when he
wis in'orined thai it was not to be cut off,
but that his carcase was to be. brought back
and, thrown into the lira beyond the river
at Wexford, he was much disappointed and
cad do»v i, for he was taught to believe in
the Gaol at Wexford, that every good
Chriflian, on feeing his head, would offer
up a prayer for his Cuul, and when the
French fh?uli come, (which he was certain
of) they would -revenge his death tenfold.
" Wallli was convifted of the mnrders
of seventeen Protrflants, several of them by
his own hand, and all of them hi& immediate
neighbours ; the majority of th-fe devoted
objefls of his more than savage brutality,
were npwatds 70 years of age. Wallh was
the villain that escaped from Mijor Sirr, by
leaping out of a two-pair of flairs window
in Bull-Alley.
'' On the fame day, Thomas and Nicholas
Parle were executed on the bridge ef Wex
ford for the murders committed asSchola
bogue; one of them confefled to having
thrown back with his pi Ice the child of a pro
teflant, which the miferahle mother, while
writhing in the flames, had put out of the
barn door of Scholabo^ue.
" It appeared in evidence on Walffi's tri
al, that he looked over the bodies murder
ed, and if an) symptoms of life appeared,
he with- his sword or pike dabbed them to
the heart."

May 27.
On Friday night, information having ar
rived at Clonmel. that a number of rebels
were aflembled about two miles from the
town, on that Waterford fide, a detach
ment of about thirty men from that t»wn,
was dispatched under an officer, who came
lip with near 500 of them : after a few
(hots were exchanged, the rebels fled in ev
ery dircftion, succored by the daiknefs of
the nigfit, they all escaped, oxcept one who
was killed, and another taken prisoner.
Thefew re brought to the town of Clonmel,
dud on Saturday morning, the body of the
fellow who was (hot, was suspended from
the Town Hall; the other, it is supposed
will immediately be brought to trial by a
court-martial.
The firft and second divisions of the Clare
militia, which were quartered at Tralee
kc marched to Limerick last Tuefdayand
Wednesday, to do duty until further orders.
John Mulcaby atid Patrick Flyn found
guilty by a general court-martial, of burg
lary and robbery were on Friday last taken
from the cells, uaderan escort of the Lan-
cafhire Dragoons, to Pallas Green to the
county Limerick, where they were hanged
pursuant to sentence ; after wftich their
bodies were brought to town, and thrown
into Croppies Hole, at the New Gaol.
PARIS, June 2.
For three days we have had no news from
the' Chief Consul. He had informed the
Consul Cambaceres that he should be some
days without writing. This sudden silence
announces the execution of some great mi
litary operations. Until the present, Buon
onaparte has not passed a day without wri
ting to his wife, to the consuls, or to the
Blinirters who were in need of some decision.
The minister of war yesterday received a
courier from Genoa He bring* intelligence
that gen. Maffena in a sortie made at several
points, took 470 of the enemy prifontrs,
and has procured prrfvifions for 30 days.
They write from Delingen that General
Moreau had sent an adjutant to General'
Kr y, to inform him that France preferred
peace, to var ; and if the Imperial army
would retire beyond the Lodij the French
army would retire beyond the Rhine, in or
der that they might in the mean time treat
of-an anniltice. General Kray, it is said,
sent for reply that the anfwerto these pro
pofitioo« mutt be made at Vienna.
, It was by stratagem that the French got
pofleflion of the fort of Honkentwcll. They
sent to the cqmmandant a falfe order of the
Duke of Wirtemberg, in which he was in
formed-of the arrival of a body of 500 men
to reinforce the garrison. A (hort time af
ter, a French corps, disguised in Austrian
and Wurtembergeoife uniforms, appeared
at the gates of the fortrefs. They vfere,
rece.ved. and the commandant, the dupe of
his credul ty, w.is oblig d to surrender the
place. This fort in point of strength and
situation can only be compared to Fort Koe
nigftein in Saxony.
They write from Vienna, that tie dis
grace of Gen. Mack is certain. He will
be no longer in service ; nevertheless, he
will enjoy his penfioa. It is raid that he
ought rather to have blownhis brains out,
than yone to the Head Quarters of Gen.
Joubert, and that he is too much devoted
to the party of the Arch Duke.
PETERSBURG, April 30.
The Emperor as Kuflla has proposed to
Prussia a treaty of Alliance, the objeftof
which is to reprefi the ambition of all the
blligerent powers ; and to maintain in its
integrity the ancient territorial division of
Italy as well as Germany.
Official Account.
MILAN, May 9.
Head-Quartert, Albenga, May 6th.
In order to increase the diftxefs of the
enemy, closely blockaded in Genoa, and to
oblige him to concentrate (til more his pic
kets plced out tide of the ramparts ; in fine
to pfrrtiit no reft to his troops worn down
by fatigue. I ordered several small columns
to attack on the 23d the enemy's detach
ment, polled in the Polcevera and the Valley
of Bifagno. This caused confidcrable
aL rm in Genoa.
The bravery of our volunteers soon bro't
on them the fire of all the batteries ; but
although many ot them had penetrated near
to the Billions, our loss was not consider
able. Four pieces of cannon taken on the
Port de Cornigliano and 200 prisoners
were the price of the valor of the regiments
Sultry and N'adafty.
The enemy has since been daily worried
in this way by, Field Marlhal Lieut. Ott,
to wl'omThave entrusted the command
of the blockade in order that I might has
ten by Savona with the brigade de Latt;r
maon to join the corps of Field Marflial
Lieut. Elfuitz. I arrived on the 27tfi A
pril at Bergo di Lagine, and I made ar
rangements to attack on the following
mbrning the poiition of Sept Paios, beyond
.Cappra Zoppa.
Field Martial Lieutenant Kaim had orders
to advance with a column by the mountains
towards Te rre di Melogno and Calizzoua.
Gen. Latterman was at the fame time to
attack Borgo Finale and Saint Pantalone.
Major general Gorupp, ported in the envi
rons of Ceva, and who had been reinforced
by F. M. L. Kaim, was' diretted to com
mence operations in the environs of St. Ber
nardo.
Field Marshal Lieutenant 'Kaim was to
make on his fide a vigorous attack on the
Col.de Tende. Intimidated by these move
ments, the enemy abandoned, without ma
king the lead refinance, this so highly ad
vantageous position ; and on the 30th of
April he took that of Saint Spirito, conti
nuing to occupy Laono, CafHllaro and Roua
Barbena. I the fame day removed my head
quarters to Fina*<
The column which had taken the rout of
the mountains, advanced by Sept Pains on
Mounte Calvo or Monte Zuovo, and these
by Bartttnetto towards Rocca Barbena.—
General Gorupalfo marched from Saint Ber
nardo, towards Mounte Gale. He made a
jun&ion at Pietra with general Latterman
who had advanced along the coast towards
Borfi.
011 the ill of May Major General Latter
man attacked the post of Loano, which was
in poflcflion of the enemy, A l'quadron of
the jth regiment of Huflars, commanded by
Captain Gavenda, fell upo-n the enemy who
had descended from the Heights into a small
plain, made I o officers and 2eo soldiers pri
l'oners, and forced them to retreat precipi
tately towards Borghetto, a place which the
enemy had fortified with great care.
On the 2d of May, I eftablilhed my head
quarters at Pietre, waiting the progress of
the column of the mountains. This co
lumn on the 3d, yetterdsy took pofiellion of
Montegale and of Roeca-babor.a, besides
forcing the enemy to abandon the Angular
ly advantageous position of St. Spirito.
The er.emy fled with the greatest precipita
tion to Loeca-uiraria, from thence by Al
benga to Alaflio, constantly pursued by the
cavalry The cavalry fell upon the rear
guard of the enemy, near Alberga. Seven
rfficers and roe'folsliers are already brought
in, taken at that place. The enemy has de
stroyed at Albenga a depot ot artillery with
its laboratory ; however, we, in return,
have got pofleffion ot a considerable powder
magazine, as well as twenty pieces of can
non of different sizes. We hav? also taken
several pieces of cannon at Alaffio. I have
caused the enemy to be pursued towards
Langueglia by finall divisions, and I have
erdered the brigade of Lattcrtnann to take
a position near Alaffio. In the mean time
I shall wait till I hear of the progress of the
column of the mountains, who arrived
yeflcrday Nafiion, and 1
from thence t,o £*{lel.Bianco.
Field Marshal Lieutenant Ott announces
to me thepgretable {intelligence that he has
repnlfed a column of the enemy, which
made a sortie -from Genoa near Cernato.
On this occasion he made fourteen officers
and 300 foldiern prlfoers. Our lofa in
this affair, as well as il ihe above mention
ed aftions, is very iiconfiderable. Too
much cannot be faiij .fifthe bravery and con
stancy of the troqgft. General Ott particu
larly notices the couageous' conduft of
Lieutenant fuchenitz, of Spleny, who, in
the above sortie, attacled the enemy at the
pint of tjie bayonet wth a company and a
half, and after.killing jreat numbers drove
him back.
Constantinople, April i 4.
A English fqu?(jron arrived at Alexan
dria, will not admit of the capitulation
concluded with the French. It is determi
ned to oppose their failing, and affefls to
treat them as prisoners of war.
The French preffingly lemand that the
captiin Pacha hasten to ccnvoy them with
his fleet, but this fleet still 'ies quiet in our
port.

JO" The carriers of the Gazette of the
United States have been strictly forlid to

should any person detect tbem in d ing
so, they Will give immediate information to

To Reapers and Correspondents.
(Cs* It is proper to apprize newfpiper
readers 111 the remoter qu rtersofthe Unitn
that the Gazette of the United States is an
Official paper, and is the tegular Journalist
of the Laws, and of every important Po
litical Document. With State Papers, the
Laws of the Union, 3nd the mod recent Fo
reign and Domestic News, general Litera
ture it associated, and the departments of
the paper so arranged, that we have it in our
power to furuifh ot original matter seven or
eight columns a week to the motley tribe
of miscellaneous readers, If public encour
agement will, in the smallest degree, juftify
the labor, we (hall, in additiou to ourpre
fent weekly exhibit of amusement and criti
cism, shortly subjoin a series of Original Es
says upon those topics " which come home
to men's tnfinefs and bosoms." Hence,
the Gazette of the United States when
bound in volumes at the end of each year,
and when the politics of the hour or of
parly shall have ceased to inform, or to in
fhme, will be fouad to contain those ar
tides and principles of literature and morals,
which are at all times, and in all places,
profitable and pleafanti
03" The merchants of thecity, and friends
to the interest of this paper, 3re requested to
furnifh the Editor with such London, Liv
erpool, Dublin and Edinburgh papers as
come to hand. New papers will be always
intereßing to those " who hunger and thirst"
for intelligence, and Old papers will subserve
the views of the Editor in feleding cl ffical
and miscellaneous articles.
Several pieces relating to the late De
mocratic Meeting, have been received.
The gentleman, who has favored us with
several interesting Anecdotes, some original
remarks on the writings and conduft of
J. J. Rousseau, and an Eflay, entitled
" Aristocracy," is urged to become a con
flant correspondent. Good sense and just
principles will always command the atten
tion of the readers of this Gazetw, will vex
and difcomfit the Jacobins, and |he whole
tribe of Knaves and Fools, under whatever
political or moral denominations.
It is understood that there are certain ftu
dlous and literary ladies, in this city, who
though poflefling the power* of invention
and Poetry, are timid of criticism, and flow
to publish. They may be aflured that their
efiays (hall experience no rude or cold treat
ment from the Editor of the Gazette. He
is anxious to render service to modest merit,
and to give the raoft liberal encouragement
to the genius, talents, and virtue of the
. ladies.
The fuccefsful imitator .of the style of
Hujibris and facetious and satirical bard,
who form»rly wrote in" The Farmer's Mu
fruvn, utider tfie name of S. Spunkky, Esq.
is solicited to publilh his humorous rhymes
in this Gazette.' He must not, with his
stores of fuffer us to apply to him
"We grant, although he had much wit,
He ivaj very Jby of uftng it,
And therefore bore it not about
As being loth to wear it out;
Cut juQ. nn holidays,or so,
As men their bell apparel do."
The authors of the Connecticut " Echo,"
a witty and ufrful plan of writing to deride
the folly, and countera£l the efforts of Jaco
binism, are requeued to fraternize with the
writers in this Gazette. Their sentiments,
conveyed through an official paper, will echo
far and wiefc.
Well written eflays on Rural Economy;
concise notices of improvements in the ufe
ful or fine arts ; topics of science, neatly,
fuccinflly and popularly handled ; (ketches
of tours to interesting parts of the country ;
liberal and accurate translations from new
and valuable French books, pamphlets, and
papers ; dramatic dialogues, (hort and witty ;
articles of criticism, humour and poetry, and
political eflays and paragraphs, written with
sense and spirit, will always be warmly wel
comed, ard conspicuously inserted.
The Editor again urges genius and lite
rary labor to address to him their fugitive
produftions. A Gazette, widely diflemina
ted, like this, is the belt possible vehicle for
short effufions, whether the object of the au
thors be mere notoriety, or legitimate fame.
Of learning and genius (t is required that
the collections of the firft and the inventions
of the fi-cond be imparled often, and com
municated to multitudes.
