DUBLIN, July 8, 1782. THE HE right hon general earl Charlemont reviewed on the hill of Bellewitown, near Drogheda, upwards of four thousand volunteers, computed chiefly at the corps in the counties of Meath, Louth, and other places adjacent. The cavalry were firft reviewed, and performed a va riety of elegant manœuvres, which reflected equal honour on the feveral corps, and major Edwards, who was their exercising officer. The review review of infantry then commenced, (in which the Rathdown carbineers, and Union light dragoons took part, by skirmishing on the flanks, in front, and covering the retreat, &c. of the two armies) and from the fine appearance of the troops, the happy fituation of the ground, the expert discipline, skill and adroitnels of every corps in the field, both artillery, cavalry, and infantry, and the excellence of the plan of review, which was prepared by major Gudgeon, exerciling officer, the whole afforded the ut met delight to a most incredible number of admiring fpectators; and furpaffed most infinitely, any description in our power to give; but nothing could exceed the beauty of that part of the plan where the troops were drawn up in two armies, diiputing the field for a confiderable time with equal fill and obftinacy, till at length one army was entirely broken, and purfued to the fummit of the hill by the adverse troops, when a masked battery immediately opened, which fecured the retreat of the broken party, and had a most admirable effe. There were a number of corps encamped on the hill for several days previous to the review, to which place the others were invited to partake of a repaft when the review was ended, previous to their march from the field.. At the review at Bellew ftown a failor who went voluntarily to alift in manning a masked battery, had the misfortune of having his band blown off. A collection was immediately made for the poor fellow, by the volunteers, amount ing to above one hundred and fifty guineas, and every care ordered to be taken for his recovery. 14.] Sailed from Tarbert for Portimouth, under convoy of the Ariel floop of war, the trade from Limerick, with other fhips bound for England.

My Lords and Gentlemen, THE great and conftitutional advantages you have fecured to your country, and the wife, and magnanimous conduct of Great Britain in contributing to the fuccefs of your tedy and Lemperate temperate exertions, call for my congratulations, on the close of a feflion, which must ever reflect the highest honour on the national character of both kingdoms. It must be a moft pleafing confideration to you to recollect, that in the advances you made towards the fettlement of your contlitution, no wets of violence or impatience have marked their progress. A religious adherence to the laws confined your endeavours within the ftrictett bounds of loyalty and good order; your clairns were directed by the fame spirit that gave rife and ftability to the liberties of Great Britain, and could not fail of fuccels as foon as the councils of that kingdom were influenced by the avowed friends of the conflitution. Such a fpirit of constitutional liberty, communicating itself from one kingdom to the other, mult naturally produce that reciprocal confidence and mutual affection, of which we already begin to feel the most falutary effects. A grateful zeal and generous ardour have united this whole kingdom in the most corcial and vigorous exertions, which promise effectually to fruftrate the defigns of our common enemy, and to re-eftablish and secure the glory of the whole empire. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, When I confider the very active and liberal part you have taken in contributing to these great and glorious events, I must as dutinctly exprefs to you his majesty's fenfe of the last effufion of your generofity for the defence of the empire, as I must return you his gracious thanks for the fupplies which you to chearfully voted at the beginning of this feffion. His majetty's royal example not only fecures to you a moft jutt and economical application of the aids you have granted him, but affords you a molt folemn pledge of attentive investigation into every means which the circumstances of this country will afford, to alleviate the burdens of his loyal and grateful people. To co-operate with you in carrying into effect this molt benevolent difpofition of his majesty will afford me the highest gratification, and manifest to you the tentiments I fhall ever entertain, in return for the confidence you have repofed in the fincerity of my profeffions for your welfare. My Lords and Gentlemen, duftry, and divided the nation. The diligence and ardor with which you have perlevered in the accomplishment of these great objects, must ever bear the most honourable teftimony to your zeal and industry in the lervice of your country, and manifeft your knowledge in its true interests. Many and great national objects must prefent themielves to your confideration during the re cels from parliamentary bulinefs; but what I would moft earnestly prefs upon you, as that on which your domestic peace and happiness, and the profperity of the empire at this moment molt immediately depend, is to coltivate and diffule thofe fentiments of affection and confidence which are now happily reftored between the two kingdoms. Convince the people in your several diftricts, as you are yourselves convinced, that every caufe of patt jealoufies and difcontents is finally removed; that both countries have pledg ed their good faith to each other, and that their beft fecurity will be an inviolable adherence to that compact; that the implicit reliance which Great Britain has repofed on the honour, generofity and candor of Ireland, engages your na tional character to a return of lentiments equally liberal and enlarged; convince them that the two kingdoms are now one, inditTolubly con nected in unity of conftitution, and unity of in terefts; that the danger and fecurity, the prof perity and calamity of the one, muft equally affect the other that they stand and fall toge ther. And then the lord Chancellor declared, that it was his grace the lord lieutenant's pleasure that this parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 24th day of September next, and the parliament was accordingly prorogued to Tuelday the 24th day of September next. The following are the Particulars of a Plan for feizing General Greene, and difperfing, if not corrupting Lis whole Army. Some short time ago a man ran away with s horfe belonging to an officer in general Greene's army, and got to Charles-Town; the general fentia flag to the commanding officer of that garrison to demand the man and horfe; the anIwer returned to him was, that it was impoffble to give up the man, as he had put himself under the king's protection, but that the owner In contemplating the fervices which your un of the horse should have his property on fending remitting affiduity has rendered to the public, I for it. When this anfwer was carried back to muft indulge myself in the fatisfaction of speci- general Greene's camp, the officer fent his ferfying fome very important acts, which will moft jeant, whole name was Peters, to Charles-Town, materially strengthen the great constitutional re- to bring back the horse. While the ferjeant form you have compleated, and which will for was in the town, he was founded as to his atever diftinguish the period of this memorable teftachment to the cause in which he was embarkLion. You have provided for the impartial and unbiaffed administration of justice, by the ac for fecuring the independency of judges; you have adopted one of the most effectual fecurities of British freedom, by limiting the mutiny act in point of duration; you have secured that most invaluable of all humen bleffings, the perfonal liberty of the fubject, by paling the Habeas Corpus act; you have cherished and enlarged the wife principles of toleration, and made confiderable advances in abolishing those diftinctions, which have too long impeded the progrefs of in ed, and his fideiity to his commander, and it was found that he loved money much better than either his commander or his caufe. As foon as this discovery was made, it was propofed to him that he should found the ferjeants of the rebel army, and see if they could be gained over to deliver up their general, and receive the English into their camp. Large offers were made; and as an earnest of what he might expect if he fhould fucceed, a very confiderable fum was given to him upon the spot. Peters, though faithlefs to bis caufe and his commander, was cers, Que to the promises he had made at Charlettowa. He lounded almott the whole corps of ferjeants, and found them difpoled just as he could have wifhed. The plot was well laid, and Peters gled to go frequently with a flag to Charlestown upon bufiness cotufted to him by his own offiAt his last journey to that town he had a long conference with our people, and then it was agreed that on a particular day, which he nam ed, a party of British light horse, to confist of two hundred and fifty men, should at a certain hour be drawn up near the skirt of a wood, which flanked Greene's Camp, and there they were to remain till he should make a particular fignal; this fignal was to be made without fail, at a fixed time, if every thing was ready in the camp for the execution of the design. This well-concerted scheme was overturned by female curiofity. The wife of one of the ferjeants was forprized at the frequent vifits he ufed to make at night, to meet the confpirators, and fufpecting that there was an intrigue in quels tion, the refolved to discover, if poffible, who was her rival She followed her husband in the dark, till she came to the tent where the ferjeants met, and liftening carefully, he heard fufficiens to convince her that love was not the object that had made her husband go out; and though he was not able to discover the particulars of the affair, the nevertheless heard enough to be affured that a conspiracy of fome kind was on foot. She immediately went to general Greene's tent, and after having ftipulated for a pardon for her husband, discovered all the knew. The confpirators were leized, and examined feparately; but Peters was the only one among them who was fully acquainted with every particular; and he refused to make any difcovery for fome time.-The reafon for delaying it was generous on his part; it was then night; and the attempt was to be made by day break; he knew, therefore, that by agreement the English horie muft have been at that time lying in the place, which he had pointed out as the fittest for the ambufcade: and he knew alfo, that if he was to diktole all the particulars of the conspiracy at that time, this party must be either cut to pieces or taken prifoners: the light horfe were, in fact, at the appointed place to their time, and having waited beyond the appointed hour for the expected fignal, and not feeing it, they concluded that all was not right, and therefore rode back to Charlestown. This was what Peters expected; and in the morning he made a full difeovery of the plan, but without naming his accomplices. The confequence was, that he was immediately hanged, with other of the confpirators who were apprehended with him; and general Green, when the gentleman who brought the above particulars left Charlestown, was taking every meature to difcover to what extent the contagion of defection had spread itdelf in his army. The following Intelligence, as we have it from the firft Authority, we can affure our Readers may be depended upon : "About fix weeks before Christmas laft, a woman about forty years of age, who called herfelf the hon. Mrs. A. was introduced to the then Premier, at his house in Downing-ftreet, on the recommendation of an 'American refugee of very celebrated reputation, as a person of the most exquifite abilities at intrigue. Our spies at the court of Verfailles had about that time become too notorious, or had been so idle as not to have informed government of many matters which were abfolutely neceffary to be known. Mrs. A. on her first interview with lord N. discovered such an uncommon genius in the line of fineffe, that he was afterwards introduced to other members of the cabinet, and at last to the king himself. In about fix weeks, after several· audiences, it was found the could be made useful, and upon her own offer, the was fent to Bruffels, with proper appointments, and a felect company of chofen fervants. After a fortnight's flay in that city, the removed to Paris, and under pretence that the environs of that city agreed with her health, the took an house in Nouburgh de Louis XVIth, and fet up a plain equipage: She frequented all public places occafionally, and was at the court on all public days; at last, the never miffed of being at all the Queen's concerts, as well as those of the princes of the blood, and had the addrefs to get herself publicly presented as an American woman of fashion, perfectly unacquainted with the French tongue; he was conftantly at Franklin's levee, and at that of the minifters of Louis the XVIth, as being a fuppofed ftranger to the French language. It happened that the frequently came into the choiceft fecrets of the court of Verfailles, which the conftantly dispatched with the utmost fecrefy and hafte to Londen, by way of Oftend. At last, from her very curious eu quiries, though done with the utmost art, and the appearance of innocence, he began to be fufpected; and one day in the middle of the laft month, while the was at court, a messenger was fent to her house, who took poffeffion. Luckily the had an item of it by a gentleman at Paris, who, though not on to hazardous a business, had employments at Paris: the accordingly disguised herself, and leaving her houthold, and all her valuables behind, came fafe to Dunkirk, from whence the got a pass to Oltend, and on Sunday the 23d of June arrived in London, having narrowly escaped a public execution as a female Spy. "It was through this lady's intelligence, that fuch complete information was gained of the failing of the Brett fleets for the Eaft Indies, whereby admirals Barrington and Kempenfelt made fuch valuable captures, and frustrated the defigns of our enemies in that quarter. She is faid allo to have obtained a complete account of the manner in which the fiege of Gibraltar was to be carried on; and alfo fome American intelligence of the greatest importance. "A penfion is fettled upon her, out of the king's purse, of 300l. per annum, with which fhe is retired to Cornwall, the county of her nativity." The fpirit of independence feems, at this period, to pervade every part of the world. Advices have been received at Petersburgh, dated June 27th, with the information, that the Tartars of Dubon and Crimea, have erected the ftandard of revolt from the Ruffian empire. Their Their Chan Jakin Gerray, against whom the people had menaced the utmost violence, has been obliged to fly from Boschschitera, the place of his refidence, as has alfo Mr. Conftantinow the Roffan minitter, who refided in the fame town. They have retired to Tagaurik, upon the frontiers of the Ruffian empire. Not many of the circumftances attending this revolution have hitherto tranfpired, but from what is already known the most serious confequences are apprehended from its The court of Ruffia appear to be peculiarly interested and alarmed by this event. Couriers were dispatched on the infladt the intelligence arrived, and are daily fending to the frontiers of Tartary as well as to Conftantinople with orders relative to this infurrection to the Various minifters refident in thofe quarters. Se. versi regiments have been fent to reinforce the troops already ftationed in the Ruffian frontiers. The command of the forces, deftined to quath this rebellion, is to be given to the Comte BeliBacu, M. le Chombellen, and M. de Semilow, procurer of the fenate, are to preceed to the borders with a commiffion and full powers for effecting a pacification. a BIRTHS.
