Campbell, mafter, was totally wrecked on the Bally achron fhore, near, Coleraine, and out of 25 people on board, only one man laved his life, who having ftripped himfelt, most providentially escaped by swimming. He happens to be a Frenchman, and has been cloathed and treated with great humanity. The parts of the wreck which have come on there have been fold by public cant for the benefit of those who shall appear to be entitled to it, and eleven bodies have been buried in the church-yard of Ballyachron.

The regulars likewife fired three excellent vol lies in honour of the day. On the pedestal of William the Third's ftatue appeared the following icfcriptions: (On the well fide was) "The VOLUNTEERS of IRELAND Overthrow the FENCIBLE SCHEME, < Procure an unequivocal BILL of RIGHTS; 19.] The corporation of the city affembled this day to deliberate on fome expedient for the better fupply of Dublin with coals. Would it not be eligible to encourage the bringing of Irish coals from the Tyrone collieries, by way of Newry? especially, as a new and excellent vein has been discovered, whole quality, it is faid, is little inferior to thofe of Cumberland.

The eminent abilities and acknowledged virtues which adorn your Excellency's character, and have justly recommended you to the confdence of your fovereign, afford us every reafon to hope that your Excellency's adminiftration will prove honourable to yourself, and highly beneficial to this nation. While we rejoice in the poffeffion of that measure of civil and religious liberty which 20 enlightened legislature hath recently extended to us, and which to the honour of this nation hath been applauded by the univerfal voice of our ge nerous and benevolent fellow-fubjects of every denomination; we embrace with pleasure this happy occation of declaring that we feel our felves, felves more strictly bound by the ties of duty and affection to our most gracious fovereign, and more ftrongly attached to our country and excellent conftitution. And firmly refolved to persevere in that conduct by which we have been deemed entitled to favour and protection, we flatter ourselves with the pleafing hope not only of evincing by that means the fincerity of these our profeffions, but of being recommended in due time to further indulgent and favourable confideration. His Excellency's Anfawer. I DESIRE to return you thanks for your addrefs and your congratulations upon my arrival. As your loyalty to the king, and your attachment to the welfare of this kingdom, have difpofed the wisdom of this legislature to remove thofe reftraints which the neceffity of former times had impofed, I do not doubt but your future conduct will justify the liberal confidence which parliament has repofed in you; and the protection of government to which it will fo well entitle you.

Refolved, That the refufal of the French miniftry to treat with Mr. Grenville, 'till the ftipulation was made, affords a ftrong proof of the fidelity and policy of our ally. Refolved, That it is the intereft, and will become the wildom of America, to ratify and confirm in the strictest manner, all fuch treaties between France and America, as may tend to unite them in the hour of peace, as they have hitherto done in war. Refolved, That it be recommended to Congrefs to imitate the conduct of the court of Versailles, in cafe the British commiffioners should aim at a Separate treaty. And whereas intelligence has been received here from the most respectable authority in Paris, that it is the intention of the British miniftry to detach thefe ftates from their political connections with France, and to grant us most extensive conditions for a peace inde, pendent of our ally; Refolved, That it be recommended to Con grefs to guard in time againtt British artifices, and prepare the minds of the people, to reject with indignation, every defigning overture of this kind, as means only to divide and destroy.

TH E HIBERNIAN MAGAZINE: OR, Compendium of Entertaining Knowledge, For DECEMBER, 1782. Account of Sir Edward Hughes's Engagement in the East Indies. With a firiking Likeness of that diftinguifbed Admiral. Admiralty-Office, Nov. 30, 1782. day, anchored about four miles without the road. In the mean time I placed his most advantageous manner to defend other fhips in the road with fprings on their cables, that they might bring their broadfides to bear more effectually on the enemy, fhould they attempt an attack. Alexander Allen LIEUTENANT lajeng med Majefty's flips in the emfelves, and the L' (commander of his Majefty's tranfport the Royal Charlotte) arrived at this office yesterday with dispatches from Vice-admiral Sir Edward Hughes, knight of the Bath, and Commander in Chief of his Majefty's fhips in the Eaft-Indies, of, which the following are extracts. Extracts of a letter from Sir Edward Hughes to Mr. Stephens, dated on board bis Majefty's fhip Superbe, at Sea, April 4, 1782. I SAILED on the 31st of January from Trincamale for Madras Road, in order to get a supply of previfions and ftores, of both which the fhips were then in want. On the 8th of February I anchored in Madras Road, and the fame day received advice from Lord Macartney, the governor of that place, that a French fquadron, confilling of thirty fail of fhips and veffels, was at anchor about twenty leagues to the northward of that port. In the afternoon of the 9th, Captain Alms, in his -Majefty's fhip Monmouth, with the Hero, Ifis, and the armed tranfport Manilla, joined me in the road. I continued to ufe all poffible diligence in getting the neceffary ftores and provifions on board the feveral fhips until the 15th of February when the enemy's fquadron, confifting of 12 fail of line of battle fhips, 6 frigates, 8 tranfports, and 6 captured veffels, came in fight to the northward, ftanding for Madras Road, and about noon, the fame Hib. Mag. Dec, 1782. At four in the afternoon the enemy weighed and food to the fouthward, when I immediately made the fignal to weigh, and ftood after them, having received on board a detachment of 300 officers and men of his Majefty's 98th regiment, who were diftributed to the fhips of the fquadron that were the worst manned. I flood with the fquadron, as per margint, to the fouthward all that night under an eafy fail, and in the morning at day light found the enemy's fhips had feparated in the night; their 12 line of battle fhips and a frigate bearing east of me, diftant about four leagues, and 10 fail of their frigates and tranfports bearing S. W. diftant about three leagues, and fteering a direct courfe for Pondicherry; on which I inftantly made the fignal for a general chace to the S. W. in order, if poffible, to come up with and take their tranfports, well knowing the enemy's line of battle ships would follow to protect them, all in their power. In the courie of the chace, our copper bottomed ships NOTE. + Superbe, Exeter, Monarca, Hero, Worcester, Burford, Monmouth, Eagle, Ifis, Seahorse, Combustion. Hhhh came |
