If Ireland was granted her freedom, there was no one more willing to forget the injuries she had received. He never could forget that England was the country of Alfred, that she was the country who first put down the barbarising feudal system, and gave to the throne and the people an equal security. He could not be insensible to ire debt of gratitude he owed to a country which had given birth to a Fitywilliarn, one of those ornaments of aristocracy, which, if properly constituted, was the best protector of the rights of the people—the Corinthian orna ment in the architecture of human freedom, which gave shade and shelter to every human being. Could he for get that England was the first country that established the Representative system, which made it a law, that e should be without a representative? He only wished that she should not have a mockery, but a virtual tepre setuation I r her feelings. He was anxious that England and Leland should be unlted, that they should be con netted. But, then, he was anxious that there shotild be an hone 't, a just, fraternal, connexion. He desired no other— he scorned any other—(Loud cheering.) What they (the Catholics) wanted was an equality of rights. If England • conceded those rights, it would be not only prudent but wise in her to do so. 1-lad the policy of Earl Fuzwilliarn, in 1795 been succes,ful, would not England have saved • two millions by that act of justice? He rated the ex pense too little ; it was far, far beneath it.

We learn from Marseilles, that commerce, which has been languishing there for a long time, is now utterly annihilated. Like the other sea ports of the kingdom, Marseilles had no commerce with the North of Europe, burit still retained its trade with the Levant and Egypt. Piracy has taken from it those only remaining sources. The Greek corsairs are to the French commerce in the Mediterran an, what the Colombian privateers are to the trade of Spain. The price of merchandise in the market of Marseilles is daily falling, and holders of vods seek to g.. t rid of them at any price. If it be Asked, adds our Correspondent, how it happens that, after 12 years of peace, the commerce of France is in so miserable a condition? it is easy to answer, that this misfortune is due to the little care that has been taken to open new channels, or to enlarge the old. The de fective system of our Custom-house Laws has likewise increased our commercial distress. It appears, in truth, as if a hostile hand directed all the measures connected with our national industry. When we speak of our situation, some Rt ople cite England, and its recent bank ruptcies. England has suffered losses, because she has undertaken too much, but the commerce of France lan guibht.s, because she has undertaken nothing. !ROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. SMYIINA, Jut.? 24. The heroines of Maine, on the attack of the troops of Ibrahim, displayed great courage. Five hundred of them well armed gave repeated proofs of their courage to those troops, cowards it is true, but ably officered.— On the whole the affairs of Greece are looking up, and if our marine was aided by Lord Cochrane. who has not yet made his appearance, we are certainly on the eve of striking a great blow. The delay of this col brated Admiral astonishes us much, perhaps it is to be attr i• bated to the delay of the frigates expected from Ame rica, which were to set sail in the beginning of May.— According to the assurance given as here by the United States Ad miral , Mr. Condostando must, we feel con fident, have succeeded at Washington in his demands. In a single day the sum required by him was raised by subscription. More than a hundred llydriot and Spezziot vessels are in the port of Hydra; wehopethat they will perform their duty even before the arrival of Lord Cochrane. At the instant that I am writing, an Ipsariot child, which we have just redeemed, stands at my side. GOD take pity on so many innocent creatures! I announce, urili pleasure, the rehewal, by the Imperial Russian fami:y, of their contribution towards the redemption of the unhappy slaves. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON, Aus:2l. The combination of our tebellious soldiers, who, no longer finding any support in their own country, have been forced to seek refuge in Spain, may be looked upon as extinguished. 'fire happy termination of our troubles, which never appeatiei for a moment uncertain, is due in a great rnea.ure to the excellent constitutional spirit of the inhabitants of our provinces, and, above all, to the vigour of the appeals addressed to the Cabinet of Madrid, which was equally active in the receiving and granting the regaests conveyed by them, and in issuing the necessary orders to the Military Commandants of Galicia, Leon, and Estremadura. The rebels, after they were disarmed, were conducted to the fortress of Zamora, escorted by a regiment of Spanish Lat cers. The officers wete compelled to give up their swords, a treatment equally surprising and humiliating, which they were far from expecting, and w !licit contrasted in so striking a manner with the fallacious promises of their seducers. Brigadiet General the Count de Nlon talegre, their chief, who was also obliged to give up his sword, was tendered furious by the insult, and learned too late, that, after being tepulsed by his fellow countrymen, he could no longer expect any support from Spain, nor from any foreign power. PA BIS, Sher. 4. A German Journal, which is printed at Paris, con- , tains today a private letter from Frankfort of the ht, which gives some important intelligence. Numerous contradictory reports are circulating with respect to the negotiations at Johannisberg, in consequence of the profound secresy observed with respect to the delibera tions there, and because the assembling at that place of so many diplomatists and eminent persons of Germany leads to the inference, that the matters discussed there are of the greatest interest. Notwithstanding all this, says the writer, the sole and only object of the discus sson at Johannisberg ) seems to be the free navigation LON DON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1826. STOCK.

Aect. 87 The contents of the Paris Papers of Tuesday are scarcely worth notice, and are almost confined to some speculations on the approaching Congress at Johannis berg ; which, after all that has been said bn the subject, will be confined to some regulations touching the free navigation of the Rhine, and otter local intere.ts. Frankfort Papers to the Ist have been received. It now appears that the journey of Prince METTERNICH to Johannisberg has no other r bject than a wish, on the part of the Prince, to inspect the improvement.: car rying on at his estate there. The following are extracts : of the Rhine. The energetic note published by Austria 'some months ago, relative to the refusal on the part of Holland, led to the expectation that that Power would not oppose an! looger the execution of the treaties.— The Prince dc Metternich, was not, however, confluent of this at the time th4t the Commission from Mayenee came to pay their homage to him at Johannisberg. That Prince, previous to taking this aff.air into conside ration, was of opinion, that the solution of the question depended solely upon the particular negociations of , Prussia and Holland. Another circumstance, which hat awakened the at tention of the German public, is the rigour of the police, which allows no stranger to pass a night in any of the villages adjoining Johannisberg, unless he be provided with a passport, or can give security for his good behaviour. The senior Magistrate of Rudishein goes every morning to Johannisberg, to give in his re port to the Prince of the strangers newly arrived, and of those who have merely passed through. It is not known whether these measures are intended to keep secret the subject of the negociations. THE EVENING STAR. PRA NIEFORT, Auousr U. Our hotels are at present full, as well of persons returning from the baths, as of strangers who have come to attend the fair. Among the latter, are numer ous purchasers, especially from the countries on the Rhine, who are usually the first that arrive. at the fair. Large quantities of so 1, particularly from Austria, arrive daily. Persons who are competent judges in he.e matters, are inclined to expect a mere favourable conjuncture for this article, than, considering the state of the manufacturing districts in England, has hitherto been expected. His Highness Prince Metternich, who is expected here about the Gth or Bth of September, will stop a few days in this city, and then proceed by way of , Darmstadt and Carlshrue, to the Lake of Constance e after which be will return to Vienna, by way of Salz burg. All the repot s previously spread by uninformed Journals, respecting certain political objects connected with his Highness's journey, and his visit to Johan nisberg, have been now proved, by the event, to have been totally unfounded. The Prince, as we hear, has had extensive buildings erected, both on his estates in Bohemia, and on his domain at Johannisherg, partly ornamental and partly for use ; and the desire of seeing the state of these improvements, and of enjoying the recreation which the country affords, and the social intercourse connected with it, is probably the only mo tive of a journey which has given rise to so much speculation. SAXONY. Aeons: 6. The first Diet of the Principality of Schwaxburg Rudolstadt, which was convoked in 1821, is now ter minated, alter sitting the six years fixed by the law. The Government has announced this, and at the same time signified that the Prince is satisfied with the pro ceedings of the late Diet, and that the Deputies have fulfilled all the expectations that could seasonably be entertained. In the course of the six years, 100,647 dollars of the public debt have been paid, and several improvements in the Legislation have been made. Due notice will be given of the convocation of a new Diet. Prince Henry LXXIL of Reuss Eberdorff i considet ing the present unfavourable state of manufactures an ' agriculture, has been induced to excuse his subjects, for this year, from the payment of three instalments of the military tax. 'e staled at the time we announced the ratification of the Treaty of Peace with the Burmese, that it had been preceded by two da)s severe fighting. Letters have been received from Calcutta, dated the sth of March, from which it appears, that on the 30th of Ja• nuary a force, consisting of about fide hundre,l of the enemy, posted at a !slue called Watamachoete, were charged by a party of the Governor General's Guard, commanded by Lievtenint s TnANT, with great vigour and success. About fifty of the Burmese were sabred or shot, and amongst them one of their chiefs, named MorfroNGao, and the remainder were quickly diSpersed, The 9th of February was a fatal day to the enemy. though the Burmese evidently intended to give a final blow to the English, and deci.'e the contest. For this purpose they quitted their stockades and boldly formed on the plain, in order of battle, but they were soon attacked by the fence under Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, at PAghamew, which was captured with forty pieces of cannon and ninety jingulls. Sir A. CAMPBELL with a small escort, is state) to have been at one time com pletely surrounded, but the enemy were speedily put to the rout, and about five hundred of them were either killed or drowned, being driven into the River at the point of the bayonet. Our loss was extremely trifling. Accounts from Pais state, that the six millions re cently arrived from Hayti have been lent in a deposit of Rentes, to a great foreign banking house ; and, it is added, for the purpose of keeping up the Three per Cents. at the last settling day. Letters have been received trom Jamaica of the 23d July, but they do not bring any news of importance. WINDSOR. SEPT. B.—Since Tuesday last his MAJESTY has been unable to enjoy his u►ual out door recreations. owing to the unfavourable state of the weather. 1414 MASISTY enjoys good health and spirits, and devotes the greater part of the day to public busi ness. There are no visitors at the Royal Lodge. • Sir HENRY HALRORD and Mr. MlReoon, Sergeant Surgeon to the ignao, visited the Duke of lons yesterday. The health of hisßoyal flightless continues in thoßame favourable state it has been for some days past. The unfavourable state of the weatber yesterday privented his Royal Highness from taking his usual airing.

The Metropolitan Aldrrney Dairy is defunct. Another explosion of foul air has taken place at High Hewarth Main Pit, Newcastle•upnn-Tyne, which killed two men and a boy. Wednesday, a strange figure, arrayed in " Palmer's weeds," passed through Canterbury, doubtless on a pil grimage (if he was sane) to the shrine of some &vont ite saint on tile Continent. A man dressed in sackcloth, with his head shaved, without shoes or stockings, with books under his arm, has also arrived in that city, on his way to the Continent. His appearance excited surprise. It is a striking illustration of the decay of the com mercial marine of Spain, that since 1819 not a single Spanish ship has passed the Sound. The number of British that passed last year was 5,186. Yesterday afternoon, as a fine boy of the name of Nott, about nine years old, was turning out of Silver street, into Upper James -street, Golden-square, he was thrown down by the fore horse of a fire engine, fell under the wheel, and was killed on the spot. Tuesday a Court Martial assembled at Government House, Devonport, and continued onWednesday by ad journment, to try Serjeant Tanner of his Majesty's96th Regiment, on various charges preferred against the said Serjeant, for insubordinate conduct. President, Major Ram 68th Regiment. The evidence for the prosecution closed on Wednesday, and the Court met to hear the defence on Thursday. Thursday, a pour woman named Keyland, who had committed some petty theft, was traced to her lodgings, in Chapel -street, Westminster; and such was her fright at the prospect of being art ested, that she jumped out of a third fiJor window, and mutilated herself, it is thought, fatally.

Rain all day yesterday, and the steamers " came down very light"—not more than five and twenty pas sengers each. Nevertheless, Margate is just now in the very midst of her glory—cockney-crammed from cellar to roof-tree at her own price, viz. three to four guineas per week for a parlour and two bed-rooms, in which there is barely room for a bed, and round which you must progress edge-ways if you progress at all. The Marga'ers never neglect that good old proverb which says—make hay while the sun shines; And this season they have a large crop, and of a bsser sort than usual. For these last three hours it has been blowing a gale from the west north west ; the sea beating over the pier head in fine style; but nevertheless, the steamers pat and Attwood are just come in with a very handsome cargo of passengers each; and Mr. Irish 3.)hnstone, in attempting to go down the High-street to see them come in, was actually blown up again without accomplishing his object. I saw him pass my window bearing down with the wind in his teeth in the most determined man ner;- but he had not progressed many yards further, when a sudden squall put him to the right about, and away he went up the hill ten times lister than he came down. The Marquis and Marchioness of Worce,ter, with their son, the young Earl of Glamorgan, are sojourning hese, and the Noble Marquis is astonishing the residents, native and foreign, by his daring in driving a break with a pair of young horses. Sober people are afraid that in breaking the horses, he may break himself; but his Lordship knows there is no danger of that.

The trade have been the chief buyers. We have a fair demand for Sugar from V - e wholesale grocers, at the prices of last week, and trade in general is very good, and higher prices are demanded for most articles.
