August 20. The state of affairs between this country and Ireland is exceedingly delicate, scarcely a day passing without giving rise to some new alarm. Should the sister kingdom persevere in her design of opening a trade with the East Indies, and carry that great point in despite of the powerful opposition that will assuredly be made by the company, it must follow, that the people of this country will insist upon enjoying the same commercial privileges, or that they will traffic under the protection of Irish bottoms; so that in either case, the monopoly of the produce of the East in a few years will, in all probability, be wholly abolished.
