Privy Council, Clerk of the Council in Ireland, one of the Keepers of the Phoenix Park, and a Vice-prefident of the British Lying-in Holpital.Few characters have been more chequered with royal favour and public difgrace than his Lordship, Early in life, through the means of his father the Duke of Dorfet, who was the chofen favourite and convivial companion of his late Majefty, he was promoted to a high rank in the army, and in the war before laft was appointed commander in chief of the British forces in Ge many, which rank he held till the memorable battle of Minden involved his Lordfhip in disgrace; with what juftice, may hereafter be developed by future hiftorians, when party fhall no longer purfue, and truth difpei the mift of obfcurity that has fo long clouded the bulineis of that day. After, however, incurring the difgrace of his Sovereign, who with his own hand erafed his name from the lift of his Privy Council before his guilt was proved on trial, he made his appeal to the public in such a masterly defence, as left a doubt in the minds of many of the juftice of that court-martial which pronounced him incapable of ever ferving his Majefty in a mi itary capacity. He then long remained unmeddling in public bufinefs, during which time the celebrated Lady Betty Germaine (whofe correfpondence with Dean Swift the public are acquainted with) dying, left him a confiderable fortune, with the annexed condition of changing his name from Sackville to Germaine. Some years afterwards he was restored to our Sovereign's favour, and in Lord North's administration promoted to the rank of American Secretary, wherein he ftrongly evinced himself the foe of American independence. As the reward of his exertions in office, when he retired he was promoted to a peerage, when in title he resumed his priftine name.

Ennis, Aug 29. On Friday laft, near Sixmile-bridge, fome men being employed to diftrain for rent, were met, on their return with the cattle, by a number of perfons, who attempt ed a rescue, and in the contufion occafioned thereby, a loaded masket, which one of the men who was driving the cattle had in his hand, uhfortunately went off, and the contents lodged in the head of one M'Inerney, a perfon of his own party, which killed him on the spot.

Corke, Sept. 6. This day Dennis Long, and M. Gonnell, other wife Mickey Builam, were tried in the city court, and capitally convicted for a rape committed the day before on Catharine Brien, in the North Gaol, where he had been remanded last Saturday after an honourable acquittal of a fuppofed robbery committed op her matter. The particulars of this horrid offence were as follow: A icheme was laid by a number or villains, about twelve o'clock on Monday against this unhappy girl, not above 17 years old; and to carry their diabolical purpote into execution, had her called from the female apart ment in the gaol, called the nunnery, on a pretence that he was wanted at the lower hatch; the innocent creature not having eaten any thing fince the day before, went eagerly down, in hopes fome perion was bringing her food; but ruling her dilappointment, was returning with dejected spirits to her 100m, when the was feized by the delinquents on the lobby, forced into their appartment by dragging her along the floor, and oh horrid to relate! Long and Bellam there defiled her. The depofition gives by the largeon the injury the received in confequence of her Auggles in prefervation of her virtue, was too Chocking for a court, and he begged to be excaled going imo particulars. The only defence mide by the prifoners was an alibi which bore no appearance of truth, and the jury, compoted of reputable citizens, found them guilty. The nahappy girl give as good and clear tellimony as petible, and conducted herfelf with every degree of decorum and modefly fuitable to her lamentable fituation. It is feared, that other delinquents have been partakers in this horrid offence, but her condition was fuch as deprived her of being able to recognize them.

About an hour before, a lamp lighter was feen Jurking about the door, dressed in a failor's jacket, and from his height and appearance, muft be the fellow who found means to enter the houfe.

23] This morning, between one and two o'clock, the house of Mr. Caffidy, in St. Patrick's Back clofe, was broke open and robbed of feve ral articles of furniture, fome cafh and wearing apparel; had not the continual barking of a dog alarmed the family, it is fuppofed they would have been murdered by the villains, and the houfe ftripped of every article of value. Scarce a night passes that fome depredation is not committed in that neighbourhood; a few nights before, the apartments of a poor widow in the alms-house there was robbed, it is believed, by the fame gang of villains, who effected an entrance by throwing up a ladder to her window when he was afleep.

Last night fome villains broke open the stall of Mr. Story, in New-market, and carried away meat to the value of fix pounds and upwards; and early on Thursday morning the house of Mr. Brady, in Great George's-ftreet, was robbed of forty guineas in cah, together with plate and other valuables to the amount of 1501.

28.] A young man of the name of Elliot was hot about fix o'clock this morning. The manner in which this fad catastrophe happened is thus related :-Having been informed that a young woman, who had lately been his favourite mittrefs, but had through pique accepted the fervices of one of the deceased's acquaintances, was then in bed with him in a house the corner of Mabbot-street, he inftantly repaired thither, and endeavouring to afcend at a window, received his death from the difcharge of a blunder. buts by one of the parish officers.

As four gentlemen, betonging to one of the volunteer corps in this city, were returning in the evening in a coach from the Black-rock, they were topped near the Circular Road by fix armed villains, who prefented a pistol in at the coach window, and, demanding their money, inftantly feapped it, upon which the four gentle men leaped out, and, after fome refiftance, lecured tour of this defperate gang, who were yesterday brought before the fitting Magiftrate, at the Thoifel, and committed to take their trial.

Too much praise cannot be given to the laudable and fpirited activity of the volunteers, in erelt humanity and tenderness, giving at fecuring to many predators, and contributing to some time the unhappy culprits every indul- the farety of the lives and properties of the ingence and opportunity for a detence. It would habitants of this city and its environs; and it is he very laudable to open a fabicription for this to be hoped the mercy ever attendant on the happy girl, while languishing under the hor-mind of the truly brave, will not operage in the Debate the received, as we hear the is in moft indigent circunftances.

Same evening, between the hours of fix and feven o'clock :-A black fervant belonging to Major Doyle, of Summer-hill, had been miffing for fome time, and on fearch being made, was found hanging in his master's stable. It appeared that he had brought a tool out of the house to fland on, while making falt a collar, which he had taken off one of the horses, to a beam, and fixed it round his neck, he kicked the ftool away, and plunged into eternity. From the fituation in which he was found, it is fuppofed he suffered extreme torture, the collar being fixed very awkwardly about his neck.-No caufe whatever has been affigned for the commiffion of this desperate deed.

30] A Poft Affembly was held at the Tholfel, for the election of a Magiftrate in the room of the late Alderman Darragh, when John Carleton, Richard Moncrieffe, James Lane, and Samuel Reed, Elqrs. were returned by the Board of Alderman to the Sheriffs, and the numbers by ballot for each were as follow:

Mr. Lane had declined upon his being return ed to the Commons, and the majority being in favour of Richard Moncrieffe, Eiq. he was declared duly elected,

Previous to the election, Mr. Binns prefented a paper to the Sheriffs, containing a refolution to the following purpole, "That it is derogatory to the honour, dignity, and independence of the city of Dublin, that any perfon filling the important office of Magistracy, thould ac cept of any place or employment under Government, as by fuch conduct they were obliged to give fupport to measures that were highly injuous to the effential interests of their Fellow Citizens."

Mr. Mulhern feconded the refolution, and in a very forcible speech pointed out the abfolute neceflity of rendering the Magiftrates of this city truly refpectable and independent. He adverted to and cenfared the conduct of a certain perfon, railed not only to an high office of Magiftracy, but in whom was likewise placed a still greater confidence, by delegating to him a molt important truit. He also declared, that the conduct of fome of the ermined Sages had been in direc contradiction to the fenfe of the aggregate meetings in this metropolis. In fhort, he spoke with the greatest judgment and animation during the courle of half an hour.

Some short converfation afterwards took place, and the Refolution patled without a divifion.

Sept. 1. This morning, the Lord Mayor accompanied by Alderman Howifon, waited on the Commander in Chief and Secretary Orde, to whom they communicated the examinations fworn again tome of the military officers con

cerned in the late outrage in Mary-street, and requesting their affittance in handing over thele offenders to the civil power. They were re ceived with very great politeness and attention, and affured that every proper exertion should be employed on their parts for the furtherance of juftice-a conduct which does thefe Right Hon. Gentlemen gave credit, as no doubt can be entertained of the Gncerity of their intentions.continen The High Conflable took two of the gentlemen into cuftody against whom the above examinations have been fworn.

The fame day, his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, attended by the Archbishop of Cafhel, the Bishop of Killala, the Viscount Ranelagh, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. Mr. Beresford, the Minifter and Church-wardens of Monkftown, and the Committee for building the new Church, laid the firft ftone thereof. His Grace was generously pleafed to give fifty pounds in aid of this pious and neceffary work. The church is named Saint Mary's.

Same night, fome robbers broke into the houfe of the Rev. Matt. Brown, Bow-bridge, by raifing the window with an iron lever, and took thereout fome filver spoons, and other articles of value not yet ascertained—Mr. Brown, alarmed by a dog in the parlour, which attended them, started up, and by a random fhot winged one of the gang in their flight down the lane, and lodged him in Bridewell. His name is Edward Kearney, a noted villain, and much fufpected in the neighbourhood.

2. Mr. Gort, an English gentleman, whe had been on vifit at Slane Caftie, was stopped in the evening about eight o'clock, on his return, within a mile of this city, by three footpads, armed with clubs, who robbed him of feveral guineas and his watch.

5] The Houles of Parliament met purfuant to adjournment. The Clerk of the House of Commons read the following letter of refignation from the late Speaker:

"Gentlemen,

"My advanced age, the decline of my strength, and what i feared moit, of my understanding, have determined me, before my imperfections become more apparent, to retire from that high ftation to which your favour had raifed me. To thefe perfonal confiderations let me add one of much more moment, the hazard of an interrup tion to the bufinefs of the public by my infirmi ties. Thefe motives have induced me to requeft, that you will accept of my refignation of that high office with which you honoured me, and elect another Gentleman in my room; and give me leave Gentlemen, at the fame time, to make my most humble and grateful acknowledgments to you for your tendernels and indulgence to my errors, and for the conftant and honourable fupport which you have given me in the dus charge of my duty during the course of tourts a years and upwards, the memory of which never be erazed from my mind. I am, with th utmost respect, and the most facere affection, Gentlemen,

The Houfe then unanimously chose the Right Hon. John Fofter to be their Speaker, who was forthwith prefented to the Lord Lieutenant, and approved of. The thanks of the Houle were then voted to the late Speaker, and an addrefs to his Majefty to confer fome mark of his Royal favour on him: also, an address to the Lord Lieutenant, to give some ecclefiaftical preferment to the Rev.
