The. object at stated ,by 4he orators of the lay is not to sever mat country irom &ngiana ; but to restore Ireland" to' the situation in which she stood before the act of union was adopted The facts adduced in support of the repeal, are of no trifling import. They undoubtedly demand the mot. serious-and dispassionate-coroidurarion " of the British" Parliament. It is a circumstance highly, favorable to the cause vhih now so deep ly interests the people of Ireland that their pro ctdings have thus far been conducted with sy tem and good Order1. To-morrow w6;shail pie sent to our readers the memorial together wiih the speeches delivered on the occasion..---Com. Adv. .- London, Sefit. 24 The Gazette of Saturday contains the official account of the operations of the expedition from Cadiz. J hough-this gallant body of troops hare not had the full success which " wc had expected'in the capture ef the Frendh corps at Mogner, yet we can truly say thatthey deserv ed it. The nemy, with some loss in killed, wound ed, and .prisoners, was driven into Seville, and will, perhaps, in fu'ure not think himself safe in any position upon the coast. ,N The letters from Cadii agree with the state , orients which hadbeen previously received through France, that the enemy having now completed . several mortar batteries on the opposite side of the harbor there, bombardment would speedily take place. The official dispatches"from the same place, , written by General Graham, and the honorable Henry Welle&ley, bn the 3tth ultimo state that no important operation had taken place up to that period Advices received at die Admiralty on Saturday, frorrf Oporto, being of the 5th inst. are of two days later date than those before published. No change had taken glace in the positions of the British army, but skirmishes between the differ ent; out posts were daily occurring, and the pa- troles were mutually harrassing each other. This certainly sounds trj ominous " of a general en gagement. ' " .

Some of the foreign papers very plain ly hint, that the monarchy of Sweden, as far as respects the reigning family, is about to expire on the present dynasty, and a new stock of sove reignty is to be furnished to that unhappy country from the royal nursery of modern kings, the gar den of the ThuiHeries. Bonaparte jo distributes the crowns of Europe at his pleasure, and at whose summons kings start up as from the witches cauldron in Macbeth, in constant and unbroken succession, having taken, offence at ,the conduct of some of hisjjwn family under tho burthen of royalty, is now resolvell to put crowns more worthily earned upon hijf fcr6iite generals, and it is understood that Bernadotte is to be elevated to the throne of Sweden. There is little doubt but Napoleon ? will go on stretching his creation of kings from one part of Europe to another ; till likeT Cybele, the mother Ipf the gods, he will be able to boast himself the wet nurse of all the sucking monarchies of the continent. Prussia will doubtless follow Sweden and Russia will deservedly succeed to the vassal age of Prussia. It is already indeed rumoured that the king of Prussia has anticipated the hint to abdicate and make room for a favorite of Bona, parte by . having resolved to immure himself in his palace for the rest of his life. . He has reign ed like a monk, and will now in reality become one. For our own parts, we do not care how soon a monarchy like Prussia is extinct. The coward ice of the Prussian court was the origin of the pre sent servitude ol Europe and the extinction of that kingdom will be a just punishment for its treachery and folly. The atheistical fabric of Frederick the Great was.never made to last. Na ture -herself,' if man had been an inactive and unfit instrument, would have conspired to abate and overthrow it. Boston,1 October 31. VERY IMPROBABLE. Mr. Wild, who arrived here yesterday from Cadiz, informs, that the Salsette BritUh frigate, of 38 guns, captain Bathurst, had arrived there from Malta, and brought a report that Lucien Bonaparte who has resided for years near Rome had thrown himself, .with his immense property, into the hands of the English at Malta. for the division in which he" resides to' makea return of th'e lands of non residents, at the same times, and in the same mariner, classing them ac cording to quality, as the lands of the inhabitants of the country. yv 'H4 ,v ': ;'..' . , Bu order of the Convention,' 'J " . .

JOHN RHEA, President. - - - THURSDAY, KOVEMBER 15, 1810. 15. The Federal Court for North Carolina, was opened in this city on Monday last, by Chief Jus tice Marshall and our district Judge, Potter. Abraham Collins, charged with counterfeiting Bank Bills (whose trial has been hung up 'for these several 'years) was tried on Tuesday, and acquitted. The BUI was much mutilated and torn since it left the hands of the witness, Dorsey, who testified that it was in a whole state when he re ceived it from Collins The bill of indictment be ing a facsimile of the Bank Bill in its present state, of course different from it when passed to Dorsey, was therefore not proper evidence.

An extract of a letter from Nit' chez, dajted Oct. 13, states that a number of per sons from ihat and Orleans territory, had joined the patriots in West Florida.
