Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated March 23.
There has been sad work in Ireland, lately, many of the people called United Irishmen, had formed a conspiracy to assist the French when they appeared, and murder all the friends of government; numbers of the ring leaders have been discovered, and we are in expectation the whole plot will now be found out. Things in England wear at present a very melancholy appearance, and how it will end God only knows. We are doing our endeavors, and hope the French, when they do come, will meet with such a reception, as will make them return to their own country, and let us enjoy that peace and tranquility, which we have been deprived of so long.
