CORK, SEPTEMBER 23. At a meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Tralee. on the atft inn. the Gentlemen prefent una zimouily came to the refolution of petitioning Par liament to enad a law for the commutation of Tithes in Ireland. The Earl of MOIRA is now in Dublin, on a vifit to his venerable mother, at Moira Houfe. In the requilitinn to the High Sheriff of the county of Kerry, for calling a meeting of the Freeholders, to take the fyftem of Tithes into confederation, it is very remarkable to have the names of three beneficed Clergymen among the Requifitionifis. • Sunday evening lad, the garrifon and yeomanry corps of this city fired a feu de joie, in celebration of the taking of Copenhagen and the Danith fleet; and on Monday morning, orders were ;trued by his Nitir fhip the Mayor, requiring the inhabitants to exprefs their joy on the happy occalion, by illuminating their bottles in the evening ; this order was, however, fpeedily countermanded, owing to a remonftrance, figned and prefented by a number of the moil refpee• table merchants, in which they declared that, viewing as they did, the attack upon Denmark, as an onpre• cedented, and apparently unwarranted outrage, upon a Neutral Power, and with which they had been en• gaged in an extenfive commerce, they could not court tenAnce it by any public aft of theirs.

NEW biSCOVERIES. 141..arittn, A ucurr Is.—The itnTal Hydrographi cal Office of this city has poblifhed, by command of the PR:Nca .or Peace, in Ibe Gazette of this city, the following notice, relative to a difcovery recently made in the South Sea : The frigate la Pala, belonging to the Philippine Company, and commanded by Don John Baptille Monteverde, on her voyage from Manilla to Lima, difcovered on the 18th of February, 1806, a group of Wands, the fduthermoft of Which is fituated in 3 deg. 29 min. North latitude, and 162 deg. s min. Eaft longitude, from Cadiz. There ;Elands. 29 in number, occupy a fpace cf to leagues from N. E. to S W. and are Ceparated by channels, one or two leagues in breadth. They are low, woody, and interfeßed with rivers. Their in habitants are of the molt pacific difpofition. They first approached the frigate to the number of 2 r, in two canoes. iVfo!tt they had come within mufiret fhor, they ceafed rowing, and held tome ent-ia nuts towards the Spaniards, fhouting and making flans. Tire frigate dewed her fails, and !witted the S i llnifh co. lours-this ma'aceuvre having apparently excitedlorne apprehenfions in the iflanders, the Spann colours were (truck, and a white flag was twitted, the crew, at the fame time, calling and making Cgns to the canoes to approach. They, accordingly, came along• fide, and gave the Spaniards Come cocoa nuts, with out demanding any thing in return, but none of them :maid be perfuaded to come on board. The crew of the frigate then diftribtned among them Come old kniv.r, iron r ings, and pieces of red cloth ; and this liberality excited fuch joy and gratitude in there good people, that they immediately 'tripped their canoes to make prefents to the Spaniards ; their nets, their fifh hooks, their cocoa nut !hells, which ferved them for cups, their enormous hats, made of the leaves of the palm tree, were all, in a moment, removed on board of the frigate ; and they, at length proceeded to (trip themfelves of their only garment, fattened round their waift, in order to via) , their gratitude to their benefaetorr. Still they were not content with themfelves, and gave the Spaniards to underhand that they would mutt n to their ifland to fetch other prefents, and requelling that the frigate would wait for them. Tittle Indians are tall, well made, tobufl, and aftive. They arc of an dive colour, have flat notes, black curled hair, but of confiderable length. In each car.oe was a venerable old man, naked like the others, and who appeared to be their Chief. One very remarkable circumflance is, that thtfe two old men were white, and had aquiline notes. They had rather the air of S. , aniards than of Savages. Captain Mcmtever de adds, ihat there Minders, and their aged Chiefs, b .re a confiderable refernblance, in their features and collo:101, to the Indians of the iflands of Sr. Barthr.kmew, and theft of Cafe and Ibißai, where he landed in 18co, with the frigate la Philip• riue, a mtnandcl by Don Juan Ibarguitia. COMET —On Wcdnefday evening, a Comet made its appearance, yilsble to the naked eye, in the neigh bourhcod of London. Its place lot mcd nearly a right angle with the bligkt liar Ardurus, and the elegant conflellation Corona, or the Northern Crown, and fet altu..l due Wc4 about eight o'clock. Its sr;Tearance she naked eye, was that of a (hr of the fis It magnitude, having a very ditlinguifhable beam ol light es Eebttloll:y, extending to the left or South of its bo.ly, cf about a font or eighteen inches in length. The c lour of the whole was very white. Capt. MI% BY is appointed to comin,,nd the Thalia frigate, at Plymouth. A letter from a Lieutenant on beard Else 'BELLit• ROPHON, to his filler in London, dated the 16th ult. oil' Racist:fart, zmntions a very providential efcape of that Gentleman. It may he recollected that about the month ef November lath, Lieutenant Hucis rs, with a fmall petty, attempted to cut a veffel out of Roc'sefort in the night. The Frenchmen were pre pied for the attack; they had an extraordinary nunilser of military on board, repulfed our boats, and Lieut. HUGHES, who headed the party, was feverely sl molded by a mulke.t ball, which paired tb r o t ty . h 11:e abdomen, but without injuring the in• tellues. Ile now (late, that on the Thurfday pre• vissas to the date of hi; Liter, he had what he con ceived to be a mote miraculous efcape than that of halt Novernher. On that day there was a moll fudden and heavy fquall of which wis followed by the molt tremendous thoch of thunder and lightning that was cw:r heard or seen any where near the lati tude in which they were at that time. It clollly re fenstsleci rue of the thunder-Rorms which are expe rien:ed on the coati. of Africa, which ate laid to be worle than thole ttfually witneffed in the Welt Indies. The main and mizen malls mere Cnivered by the light ning ; the rigginr, was on fit c in various parts; fonieof thefailswere enveloped in fmoke and lite,likc burning tinder ; the lightning darted through the decks and bottom of the Ihip (in the lea Orate, right through to the water ), and at one place a plank was, by the force of the eledric fluid, flatted out from the 'hip's fide. Ore mati was killed and 1 a were wounded. But the moll milli kable cit camnance is, that a flalh of the4;litning entirely dellroyed a hat belonging to Lieut. Hucis Es, the writer of the letter, and then being attraded by the (word which hung by his fide, twitted the blade in a moll curious manner, and left his perfon entirely unhurt. The late norm a i pears, from the following ac• count, to have been very fevere in the Highlands of Scotland. A party of military, in marching from Invernefs, by the higlihnd road, to Perth, were over taken by the florm, during which one of their num• ber, a recruit, finding himfelf fatigued, fat down on a (tone by the way to reit a little. His companions, in the mean time, travelled on a few miles, and being difappointed in the expeftation of their friend over taking them,became fornewhat anxious for his fafety, and returning, found him dead, and nearly covered with fnow.. The memorable Lottery Scheme of the Pigot Dia• mond, though confifting of 20,000 Numbers, and unaccompanied with any other Prize, was found fufficiently attraftive to induce a purchafe of every one of the Tickets.

BOTAN r BAr. By the favour of a Gentleman in the Eaft India efiablifhment, refident at St. Helena, we have receiv ed a (cries of the Sidney Gazettes, to July 13, 113c6, which we believe are the ha from New South Wales. With refpeEt to the pitblie intelligence they con tain, there can be little that is generally interetting to Europeans, otherwife than as every friend of huma nity will be glad to fee decency and order prevail in a fettlement where confiderable infraCtions of law and juftice might be expelled. It will be fuppofed that the trials for offences are numerous ; but it will be learnt with fatisfaetion, that by thefe papers they apps :r to be condtraed with equity and impartiality; and, although the nature of the Government, or rather tile defcription of the fubjeas, does not admit the feleCtion of a Jury, yet the decifinns of the Judge appear to be the refult of patient examinati •n, and of a deliberate attention to the refpedive rights of the individual and the public. It has been dircovered, that many of the convicts have effected their efcape by the American (hips which have touched upon the coaft, in confequence of which fome falutary regulations have been adopted, to prevent this praaice in future. Our Readers will recollea, that leveral cafes have recently occurred, of perfms returning from tranfportation, which we have recorded in our accounts of criminal proceed ing., and molt of them have ease from the tanks explained in thefe Gazettes. A quantity of Bum, in (mall lots, Were fold at public anaion, at los. to 14e. per pair ; a herd of twine, at 4d. per pound, alive ; maize, in the public market, at Los. per bufhel ; potatoes, tcrs. to 195. 6d. per bag ; tobacco, ts. to as. per pound. Every account confirms our former report of the apparent excellence of Port Dalrymple for the purpofes of our extenfive fettlements, as from the furveys already taken, fome very fine tracks of land are difcovered. Not more than 12 miles from the (cite of the town, on the Wellern Arm, a heavy fall of water, from mountainous precipices, has received the name of the Smaller Cafcade ; there being sno• ther of prodigious magnitude and height, fifty miles fur ther dittant. The natives appear Rill to be but little difpofed to fraternity, but on the contrary, always difappear when approached. No adcident has, however, oc curred from any all of aggreffionlon their part; which has never gone further than putfuing one or two (hagglers to the confines of the encampments : they are in general more robuft than the native inhabitants of this part of the country ; but, from the conflate. tion of their weapons, it can hardly be fuppofed they accuftom themfelvet to hottility againft each other. Their (pears, though of prodigious length, ate not barbed, and quite fmnoth at the point ;—they are thrown withoui the of ftance of the wamin.h• which adds confiderably to the velocity of the weapon ; ytr: fuck is their dexterity, that at a confiderable diftance they ftrike, and frequently kill the game therpurfue. They carry neither clubs nor fhields, and hence they may be concluded to be peaceably difpofed to one another, or the very fmall portion of,ingennity which initruted them in the contrivance of their only wea pon, would certainly have extended to that of a de. fence againft it, were there allual necellity. From thefe particulars, fomething may be collected of the infirm Rate of facitty, in a country nearly co. retentive with Europe, commencing, like ancient Rome, the afylum for fugitives and delinquents and perhaps deitined, like her, in a future age, to be. came the miftrefs of the world. Let not palled nations look with contempt upon this people ;—;h e ipirit of enterprite is no where more confpicnous and neceflity, the mother of invention, may produce effeas apparently miraculous, in communities worm with age and decrepitude, and debilitated by' th e ; Iv . dolence and apathy of modern luxury and refineme
