Rebellion of 1798 Wicklow and Wexford Insurrection
The 1798 uprising in Wicklow and Wexford is traced from initial peaceful states to rapid radicalization under Orange influence. Reports describe low early troop presence, priestly opposition, widespread Yeomanry brutality, and mass conversions to the United Irish cause. The narrative details Oulart Enniscorthy Vinegar Hill campaigns, the fall of Wexford, and the brutal reprisals that followed, leading to eventual reverses by mid June.

Dismissal of Sir Baldwin Walker in Ottoman Navy
A letter from Constantinople dated the 3d instant reports the dismissal of Sir Baldwin Walker from the Ottoman navy amid Capoudan Pacha's resentment. General Jochmus is also expected to be dismissed as notes from French and English ambassadors on the Biledjick affair remain without a written Porte reply. The Augsburg Gazette notes the Duke d Angouleme’s illness with intestinal cancer, with cautious hope for spring sea-bathing recovery. A Turkish-flag merchant vessel from Bengazi to Candia was forced to dock at Zante due to bad weather. English authorities learned Muslims aboard were delivering alares from Tripoli to Candia.
