The Dublin Journal.
DUBLIN - TUESDAY, DEC. 30.
Three Holyhead Mails arrived since our last. The London Papers are chiefly filled with the additional documents relating to the late Negotiation, published by direction of the British Ministry. -These documents principally consist of the communications which took place between the Lords Yarmouth and Lauderdale, and Mess. Fox, Windham and Lord Howick; they serve fully to prove, what was indeed obvious even from the papers published in the Moniteur that the French having first proposed the basis of uti possidetis, to induce Great Britain to enter into a negotiation, affected to commence the discussions merely with a view to gain time, until a separate Treaty with Russia, and the new Rhenish Confederation had been accomplished, and immediately upon having attained these objects, altered its tone -- denied the basis agreed upon - and obliged the British Ministry to break off the Negotiation.
But, in addition to the evidence furnished by the Moniteur, and established by these letters, the British Ministry have, by a document suppressed in the French publication, decisively proved the falshood of Talleyrand's assertion, that the negociation was fought for by Great Britain. This document is an extract from a letter of Talleyrand himself to Mr. Fox, specifically stating the desire of France for Peace, and directing the attention of that Minister to Buonapart's Speech, in which his readiness to negotiate on the basis of the Treaty of Amiens is declared. This part of Talleyrand's letter was studiously omitted in the Moniteur, in order to colour the false assertion that the British Ministry had first sought the negotiation.
With this observation we would refer our Readers to the documents themselves, where Talleyrand and his associates are marked by as strong features of craft and insincerity as ever distinguished even a French negociator.
But we cannot avoid observing, that whoever has attentively read the whole of this negociation, must be convinced of two things; first, that England proceeded upon the most honourable principles.- and secondly, that no peace can with safety be made until the power of France shall be reduced to reasonable limits.
It cannot be denied that an apprehension prevailed lest Ministers, too anxious for peace, should make some concessions injurious to the honour or interest of Britain; but the perusal of the State Papers manifest not only that no disgraceful concession was even thought of, but that our negociators spoke the language of men whose nation had been victorious in every part of the world. As to Britain, what she had conquered was to remain in her possession, with the addition of an amende honourable, the restitution of Hanover to our Sovereign. - The anxiety of Ministers was only as to our allies, to obtain for them the best possible terms; and this object was pursued with such zeal and fidelity, as does them and the nation the highest honour.
All the while that these proceedings were carrying on with so much good faith on the part of Britain, the Tyrant of France was exciting every stratagem - practising every fraud to deceive the powers of the Continent, and to detach Russia from our alliance. English honesty he saw could neither be deceived nor intimidated, and he seized the moment when the eyes of Europe were turned in suspense upon the negociation, to fall upon the unhappy Monarch of Prussia, the single Potentate in Europe who seems to have place any confidence in him. The misfortunes of that Sovereign, though we long foresaw them, we cannot cease to lament - they have been dreadful indeed, but not sufficient to erase from the map of Europe such a powerful state as Prussia : the King is again the head of 60,000 men : he is sustained by the Emperor of Russia, commanding the greatest army in the world; he is assisted by the gallant King of Sweden, and 60,000 hardy Swedes; need we add, that the mighty power of Britain is offered to his support. Lord Hutchinson is dispatched with this consolatory proposal, and if he has now, though late, the wisdom to form an alliance upon terms honourable to all parties, and the spirit to dismiss all the illuminati Ministers who have hitherto manifestly betrayed him, he may again be the powerful Monarch he was recently esteemed, with the dear bought knowledge of whom he ought to trust.
Buonaparte, it is said, has pushed forward into Poland to meet the Russians on the banks of the Vistula, leaving the Prussian army in his flank, and the Austrians in his rear. It must be obvious to every man, that the farther the Corsican advances, the weaker he must grow; garrisons must have been drafted from his army for the all the strong places, which, without resistance, have by traitors been surrendered to him; and the main army itself, advancing into one of the severest climates in Europe, must suffer inconceivable hardships from want of clothing and inclement skies. We will not be astonished when we shall read of his falling back even without a battle; but if the Russians should think proper to attack him, his fate is decided : for the Russian Generals are faithful and loyal, and the Russian soldiers are only second to the British at THAT DECISIVE WEAPON, THE BAYONET.
A most lamentable accident occurred on Christmas-Day, at Conway, in North Wales. -- The coach conveying the mail which left London on Tuesday last, arrived at the ferry of Conway in regular course; the day was extremely wild and stormy, and the river presented so frightful an appearance, that some of the passengers, by the coach refused to venture across; the mail, however, and sixteen persons, were put into the ferry-boat, which was either overloaded or unskilfully managed, so that about midway, a violent squall coming with an heavy sea, she instantly sunk.- We are sorry to state that of the sixteen, but two have been saved, one of whom swam ashore - the other fortunately seized upon the bag containing the mail, with which he floated until he was taken up. Mr. Jewster, a respectable hatter of this city, was one of those who happily for themselves, were alarmed at the appearance of the river, and declined attempting to cross. - This melancholy incident adds one more to the many proofs, of the propriety of altering the mail-coach line so as to pass through Shrewsbury instead of Chester, and thus avoid this very dangerous passage of the Conway. This alteration, and the projected bridge at Bangor, would render intercourse between Dublin and London as safe as the necessity of crossing the Channel would allow.
With great pleasure we learn from an Officer of the 30th, that that regiment and the other troops which accompanied it, had after a most favourable passage of twelve weeks, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, without the loss of a man; they were to refresh there for some time, as slight symptoms of the sea scurvy had appeared.
The declaration of Buonaparte, that he had put the British dominions in a state of blockade, is certainly ridiculous beyond contempt. "Blockade," says Dr.Johnson, "is the siege of a place, by stopping up all the passages to it." And how the vain boasting Corsican, who has not a ship of war upon any sea, which dare shew itself to a British ship - who has not one merchant vessel sailing under his degraded banner - how he shall blockade the dominions of Britain, passes imagination !
The conduct of Buonaparte towards the remains of the venerable Duke of Brunswick, completes the infamy of his character, and will probably render him an object of more detestation than any of the atrocities of which he has been guilty. This action shews that, however he may be exalted by the mean submission of the people who groan beneath his tyranny, the low passions of his original vulgarity, and the savage pride of his mind, never can be effaced. It might have occurred to him that when he pays the debt[?] of nature, if he should[?] not sink beneath the arm of justice, that people may be disposed to retaliate upon his remains, and treat them with every mark of indignation and contempt.
We mention with sincere regret the death on the 7th inst of Jas. Beresford, Esq. the fifth son of the late Right Hon. John Beresford : he was a Midshipman on board the Phoenix, and while loosing the top-gallant-sail in chase of a Spanish frigate, he was unfortunately shaken off the yard by a heavy sea that struck the ship.
The Lord Chancellor Ponsonby continued his sittings in the Court of Chancery every day since the expiration of the late Michaelmas Term, until Wednesday last.
The Magistrates of Limerick have publicly stated that an unusual number of Foreigners and other Strangers had of late sojourned in that city and its liberties, some of whom there was reason to suspect of misleading many, by inciting them to attend those nightly meetings which have disturbed the peace of the country, and accordingly required all such Foreigners, &c. to appear before one of them, to satisfy them of their object in repairing to that city, or else they would be arrested.
The London Gazette of Tuesday contains an order of Council for continuing the bounties granted for the encouragement of seamen and landmen to enter into the Royal Navy, from the 31st of December, 1806, to the 31st December, 1807, with the exception that the rewards to persons procuring seamen and landmen are reduced as follows :- for each, Able Seaman three guineas; for each Ordinary Seaman, two guineas; and for each Landman, one guinea; together with the same allowance for travelling expences as before.
The Committee at Lloyd's London, who manage the patriotic Fund, have sent the handsome donation of �60. to Mrs. Agnes Sked, of Dunbar, widow of the late Thomas Bruce, Quarter-Master on board his Majesty's ship Monarch, who was killed in the action on the 24th September last, with three french frigates, which were carrying out troops to Buenos Ayres. The Committee also wrote, that if she had any children, they would all be educated at the expence of the Patriotic Fund, and if there was any thing particularly distressing in the widow's case, she would get more.
By the statement of the receipts and expenditure of the Patriotic Fund it appears, that the subscriptions and divisions amount to �338,693. 11s. 1d. exclusive of �21,000 3 per cent. Consols, subscribed in stock. The sums paid and voted amount to �105,276 2s 4d by which relief has been afforded to 2140 officers and privates, wounded or disabled, and to 570 widows, orphans, parents, and other relatives of those killed in his Majesty's service. Honourary gratuities have also been conferred in 153 instances of successful exertions of valour or merit. A considerable number of claims arising from various actions are still expected, particularly from the relatives of upwards of 400 of the brave men who fell in the glorious engagements of Trafalgar and Ferrol.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.- TUESDAY, DEC.23.
Lord HOWICK stated, that he understood no return had been received from the county of Galway, in Ireland. The Sheriff had indeed made a return, not of any Member, but that the poll was not finished, and must be kept open until all the voters should have polled. This was not only novel, but highly extraordinary and improper - He should therefore move, in the first instance, that the Deputy Clark of the Crown do attend the House to morrow with the last return for the county of Galway.
Mr. CORRY said, he should not detain the House a moment : he only wished to put the Noble Lord and the House in possession of a fact. In Ireland there was no law limiting the duration of an election, as in England, and in Ireland there had recently occurred a case exactly similar to the present. The Sheriff therefore, it was likely, by not making a satisfactory return, might conceive he was doing his duty, instead of committing a reprehensible act.
Lord HOWICK replied, that were it apparent the neglect of the Sheriff had originated in ignorance, the case would be materially altered. With regard to there being no law in Ireland, limiting the duration of an election, that did not justify the Sheriff from a due execution of the writ. He should therefore move, as he had already stated, and by Wednesday se'nnight he should again move for the attendance of the Sheriff at the Bar, should he not, in the mean time, make the necessary explanation. Lord Howick's motion was then put and carried.
On the motion of Mr. Vansittart, the House resolved into a Committee on that part of the King's Speech, which related to the Supply to be granted to his Majesty. A resolution that a Supply should be granted to His Majesty was agreed to; the House was resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow.- Adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24.
On the motion of Lord Howick, it was ordered that the House should at its rising, adjourn to Monday next.
On the motion of Mr. Hobhouse, the Election Trial Bill was read a third time and passed.
Messrs. D.P. Cole, G. May, and ---- Buller, were sworn and took their seats.
On the motion of Captain Freemantle the Order for the consideration of the Saltash Election Petition was postponed from Tuesday Dec. 23, to Tuesday 27th Jan. on the ground that the evidence would not be in readiness till that day.
GALWAY ELECTION.
On the motion of Lord HOWICK, the order for the attendance of the Deputy Clerk of the Crown, with a return for the County of Galway was read. The Deputy Clerk was in attendance. The return was read. It stated that the Sheriff, in obedience with his Majesty's Writ, had proceeded in due time to the poll, which had commenced on the 19th of November, and proceeded with all due diligence, being kept open seven hours in each day; but that on the 15th[?] of December, the day before which the return should have been made, the suffrages of a great number of Freeholders remained uncollected. The Clerk of the Crown notified at the same time, that a second return has been received this day, dated 17th December.- The substance of this return was, that the suffrages of all the Freeholders of the County of Galway being collected, Mr. Denis Bowes Daly, and Mr. Martin, were declared duly elected. It was ordered that these returns be entered on the books.
Lord HOWICK said, it was his intention to have followed up the substantiation of the default of the Sheriff in not having made the return by the day when it was requested, with a motion, that he should be ordered to attend at the bar to abide the judgement of the House. But in consideration of the precedent, stated by his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Corry) last night, and from their being no room to suppose that the Sheriff had been wilfully deficient, he should wave that proceeding, and rest satisfied with the real return.
Mr. CORRY was happy that his recollection had tended to save the House and the Sheriff the pain of misplaced severity. But he hoped the Irish Gentlemen would, in the course of the present Session, consider the propriety of amending the Irish Election terms in this and many other instances. - Adjourned to Monday.
The Bishop of Kilmore has been pleased to confer the Vicarage of Outragh, in the county of Leitrim, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Hill, late incumbent thereof, on the Rev. Francis Percy, Curate of that Parish; which situation he had filled for 15 years with the most exemplary character; this promotion must give real heartfelt satisfaction to every person acquainted with his worth.
The Church-Wardens of St.Peter's Parish, acknowledge to have received from M.H. per the Rev. Mr. Lewis, two guineas, for the Poor of said Parish; and the Treasurer of the Sick Poor Fund, acknowledges to have received from the same, two guineas, for which they return thanks.
Mr. Rosborough acknowledges to have received from H.H. Ten Guineas, in aid of the funds for relief of Sick and Indigent Room-keepers.
MARRIED. - At Parsontown, the Rev. James Martin, jun. of Killaloe, to Miss Margaret Mellsop, daughter to John Mellsop, of Parsontown, Esq. - Rev. James Ellard, Curate of Kilfinan [?], to Miss Frances Bennett, daughter of the late Hugh Bennett, of Bosnetstown, county Limerick, Esq.- Mr. Robert Patrick, of Ballyduff, to Miss M. Cooley, of said place. - John M'Kay, Esq. of the Bank of Ireland, to Miss Letitia Moore, daughter of Wm. Moore, Esq. late of Moore-hill, county of Kildare.
DIED.- At Cloney, near Newtownlimavady, on the 17th instant, Mr. Wm. Haslett, aged 75. - At Cork, Capt. Wm. Barry; he had served for nearly half a century with honour and reputation, first in the Saxon, afterwards in the Prussian, and finally in the British Army.- Mrs. Hodnett, relict of the Rev. Wm. Hodnett, of Carrymore, at the advanced age of 78 years.
LONDON, DECEMBER, 23, 24, 25.
Some private letters from Cadiz, of the 29th ult. from Madrid of the 2d inst. mention, that the reports of the re capture of Buenos Ayres continued to prevail in both those cities. The report, however, receives no credit in London. His Majesty's ship Raisonable arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 16th of August, from Rio de la Plata, at which time no attempt had been made to re capture Buenos Ayres by the Spaniards, or to take Monte Video by the British.
When the Dar left Lisbon the merchants were in a state of uneasiness respecting the probable fate of Portugal, but the apprehensions entertained were founded more on the general state of the affairs on the Continent, than any thing specific that had transpired reflecting Portugal in particular.
An American paper of the 22nd ult states , that on the 10th ult Captain Amos Stodman left Carlisle, Pennsylvania, with 137 troops, and directed his march to Pittsburgh, from whence they were to descend the river to North Adam, Mississippi territory. This is confirmed by an article from Natchez, on Oct 10, which says - "Our troops that marched from this place on the 5th, are to be discharged immediately, in consequence of the Spanish troops having re crossed the Sabine river, and having promised to remain there until the line of demarkation shall have been established."
LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 26.
Sir Samuel Hood, sailed from Spithead yesterday morning in the Centaur, with the Polyphemus frigate, to cruize off the Western Isles.
Admiral Murray sailed also with the Polyphemus, Africa, Camel and Cormorant, from Buenos Ayres, but was forced to return to Spithead in the evening.
His Sicilian Majesty has, it is said, been pleased to confer upon Sir Sidney Smith the dignity of a Duke.
The Marquis of Tavistock is at present on a visit to his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and it is expected the Noble Marquis will continue not only during the holidays, but for some weeks after, to enjoy the splendid entertainment which the Castle of Dublin at present affords.
Those who pay particular attention to the weather, and make minutes of its variations, inform us, that we have had between forty and fifty days of successive rain; during which time the wind has blown almost constantly from the S.W.
Extract of a letter from Dover, Dec 25:-
"The wind which had become favourable last night for the transports and ships bound down Channel, changed back again, and it now blows hard at S.W. The rumour that was afloat respecting some of the troops being lost that was embarked here on Tuesday, was entirely without foundation. I can assure you that the whole of the troops that embarked were received safe on board the transports without the slightest accident. The whole of the brigade that remains were to have embarked to-day, but the high wind has prevented their going off; their baggage is already on board, and the vessels are all ready to receive the men as soon as the weather becomes favourable. The ships which went part to the westward last night are going back to the Downs, several of which have received damage more or less. I am happy to inform you that the Danish ketch which was on shore at the back of our pier, was got off last night, and is now safe moored in our harbour. A great number of French privateers are cruizing in the Channel, chiefly long luggers, which sail very fast, and annoy our trade very much."
The transports destined to receive Gen. Hill's brigade being now assembled in the Downs, the embarkation was to take place yesterday and today, at Dover; detachments from the several corps, with the heavy baggage, arrived there on Monday. The troops were to be put on board the small craft, to be conveyed to the transports immediately on their arrival at Dover.
On Saturday and Monday the left and right wings of the 3d, Old Buffs, came into Canterbury from Deal, on their route to Paddington. The regiments completes General Wellesley's brigade. At the same time the 6th and 13th regiments of Infantry moved from Dover, to occupy the Barracks at Deal.
After a stormy passage, Lord Hutchinson and suite arrived in the Astrea frigate at Elsineur on the 1st. She was on shore on the Anhalt Reef, in the Cattegat. She arrived at Elsineur with the loss of her main and mizen-masts, and very leaky.
The Auckland packet, which had been sent with Mails to Husum, and Lord Hutchinson's horses, returned to Yarmouth yesterday, having found Husum occupied by the enemy. - Yet a Mail boat from Husum arrived yesterday, brought by a bye-boat.
On Saturday Governor Picton underwent another examination before a numerous Committee of the Privy Council at the Treasury. Colonel Fullarton attended to make good his charges. The Members of the Council present were :
The Lord President (Viscount Sidmouth); Earls Spencer, Moria, Buckinghamshire, and Camden; Viscountess Castlereagh; Lords Grenville and Hawkesbury; Mr. Addington, Mr. Rose, and several others.
It will be seen that most of the late Administration were present, this is accounted for, in consequence of the investigation having commenced before them, and the whole of the investigation would be to go through again if they did not attend. The Committee sat from twelve o'clock till three.
We understand that some accounts were yesterday received from the East Indies, which were brought by an American vessel, which state, that an unfortunate dispute happened at Vellore between a regiment of Sepoys and a regiment of Native Infantry, about some women, and it became necessary to send a regiment of Cavalry to quell the disturbance.
BOW-STREET.- About a fortnight since Mr. Read, one of the Magistrates belonging to Bow-street, received from Ireland a copy of an indictment, and a warrant signed by Judge Day against Michael Nowlan, for a burglary and daring robbery in the house of Edward Doran, Esq of Ballymartin, in the County of Carlow. Mr. Read backed the warrant, and gave it to Miller and the two Limbericks to execute. On Tuesday evening James Limberick went into a public house in Golden-lane, by chance, when he observed a man who exactly answered the description of Michael Nowlan both in dress and person. The Officer charged him with being the man, and was about to take him into custody, but he resisted in a violent manner with a shovel, with which he wounded the Officer in his head, neck, and various parts of his body. The Officer however succeeded in securing him, and yesterday he was examined before Mr. Read, when he did not deny his name. He will now be detained till his person can be identified.
MILITARY INVENTION.- The new musket which was introduced to the Board of Ordnance last year, by John Smart, Esq. Miniature-painter, late from India, did not entirely succeed, though great praise was due to it. Another musket has been lately submitted to the Board by the said Mr. Smart, under a new improvement, discovered by his son, Mr. John Smart, jun. Lieutenant in the Royal Westminster Volunteers, and upon minute examination, was highly approved of by the Board, and sanctioned by Earl Moira. This most excellent contrivance clearly demonstrates its superiority over all other muskets, by rendering it doubly useful : so that a body of 500 men may do nearly as much execution as 100 men. The grand design is to disguise the ramrods, which frequently are lost in the confusion of battle, and to prevent the right arm from being exposed to the enemy's fire, by the ramrods; its car drawing and returning of continual motion ofries as far as any other musket, and becomes equal to a rifle in point of certainty; and all this at the trifling expence of a few shillings.

CHARITABLE SOCIETY
For RELIEF of SICK & INDIGENT ROOM-KEEPERS,
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE Operations of Charity, which Benevolence enabled us to apply, and Public Confidence sanctioned us in conducting, we have silently, and not ineffectually, hitherto directed to alleviate, to diminish, or to eradicate, the ills attendant on Poverty.
The melancholy existence of human misery that personal domiciliary inspection exhibits in agonizing variety - the swarming mass of wretchedness perpetually recurrent to our researches throughout the inclement, cheerless, and pestiferous habitations of the Indigent;- Distress, that never assumed the form of mendicity - Misfortunes that assail not the public ear with clamour - Disease, that never obtruded on and shocked the public eye, present unceasingly in multiform shapes; Claims, that it has been the irresistible peculiar duty of the Society to attend to, and to relieve. How effectually this duty has been performed, to the Detail of our Preceedings, the Particulars of Expenditure, and the Registry of the Claimants, we confidently refer.
Did our limits admit the detail of individual Cases, we could place in the fore-ground some, which the feeble language of description would be greatly inadequate to depict in commensurate form - Cases wherein want, disease, despair and death, rioted in every horrid form; but, to excite commiseration, we will not wound the feelings of humanity.
In an existence of Seventeen Years, the Society has rarely been neccessited to recur this Mode of Appeal. The Trustees would not now adopt it, but that its ordinary resources are exhausted. It will be seen by the last Monthly Report, a few Shillings only remained unexpended, whilst at this Moment, ABOVE TWO HUNDRED FAMILIES supplicate us for assistance - Shall they be abandoned ?- Ye to whom we appeal - Benevolence - Philanthropy - Men of Feeling ! Christians ! Answer for us - We have done our duty.

And whereas there is reason to believe that many Fines have been imposed and levied under said Act, within the district of the Metropolis, none whereof have been paid over, as by the said Act is directed; I am desired by the Governors of the Hospital and Free School of King Charles II in Dublin, hereby to require all Person who may have received any Sum or Sums within the District of the Metropolis, under and by virtue of said recited Clause, forthwith to pay the same to me for the use of the said Governors, as by the said Act is directed.
