Government have ordered all the disposable troops in Ireland to proceed to the Disturbed Districts of the West. The whole County of Clare has .been proclaimed; and in many parts the resident Gentry have laid aside all other objects, that they may de vote their whole attention to the preservation of public tranquillity. On the other hand, we are sorry to learn that several Gentlemen in Galway, either through fear or intimidation, have been obliged to yield, in some respects, to the wishes of the banditti. They have agreed to accept of the limited rent of fered lc: land—the price fixed by the Ribbonmen. We regret that such instances of weakness should have occurred. • If the land be generally let at a rate too for the price of its products, the proprietors ought to reduce the tent, on the ground of equity, but not ir. consequence of threats or midnight attacks. land. owners, at this moment, should remain firm, and boldly face the danger, as concession in one respect, will only induce turther demands. The forcible reduction of rents will naturally lead to the doctrine, that it is unnecessary to pay any rent what ever. If the reduction of rent can be effected by law com!dnatioa, the same power may be applied to destroy altogether the practice of paying rent, and it will net be di thc ult to impress the latter object on those who have succeeded in the former. We merely state this inference, as a probability which ought to be well considered by the land-owners of the disturbed Countic.s, before they ) ieid to the menaces of the ban ditti.—The Ribbon Sy ,tern, according to the latest I accoutiv, is still extending—it now pervades an area of nearly 100 niiles in length, and 30 ur 40 in breadth, along the west coast of Ireland; but we trust, that the power of the Government, conjoined to the energies of the Gentry and well-dispOsed part of the tenantry, will spetoily check its progress. The following paragraphs are extracted from the Irish Papers : ENNIS, FEB. 28.—1 t is with great regret that we are compelled, from circumstances that have come to our knowledge, to menti3n, that the Riblonmen have male their appearance in this county. On Fri• day night last,- they visited the house of Terence O'ilrien, Esq. of Glan Lodge, in the Barony of Bur rell, convenient to the county of Galway, and also two other houses in that neighbourhood, in search of arms ; they were, however, disappointed. Bunahow and Cregg were also visited on Saturday night. Monday night, a large field in the neighbourhood of Buttonhill, near Meelick, in the county of Clare, was turned up by a patty of those nightly depreda tors, and a daring notice, of which the following is R I:teral copy, posted on the smith's foige : NOTICE Giving to any Man that Ills grotnd Will he Du or un Dng to Give out at Eight Guineys per ae,:r cr .if NAt the will be Jubitzed for an Evampel to the whole C“untry, By the Com mand al order of Captain Ribbin Man that latOy arrived from the .

E iris, MAncn I.—On Monday night last, Tom kins Brew, Esq. a Magistrate of this County, hearing of the nightly meetings of the night-crawls, in the neighbourhood of Corofin, called on several Gentle men, all of whom immediately offered their services, and accompained by some servants and a few te nantry, according to .agreement, met at Ballard, near Eilnaboy, where, after holding a council of war, they had not proceeded farther than Aglish, when they fell in with a large body of these mis creants, who advanced boldly, thinking the party were friends. Mr. B. O'Loughlin, who was in ad- vance, desired them to stand; they hesitated, and on the entire party appearing, many of them fled, when they we;e immediately fired on, and it is sup posed tome of them were wounded, as one was seen to fall. We are happy to announce that nine of tliese fellows were made prisoners, together with their Captain, who had a white band round his hat. These gentle►nen Mr. Brew and his little party lodged safely in jail yesterday morning. CASTLEBAR, FEBRUARY 23.—Friday morning, in consequence of the report made to the Marquis of • Sligo, his lordship, Mr. James Browne, M.P. the Rev. Dean Browne, Major O'Malley, and other Gen tlemen, proceeded from Westport House to Clare, through this town, taking with them about a dozeo of his Lordship's bailiffs and servants, well armed and mounted, to augment the civil and military force which is judiciously stretched along the borders of this county, adjoining Galway and Roscommon,— . The excellent precautionary arrangements adopted by his Lordship, and the many respectable and spi rited friends who are acting in concert with him, have been hitherto_ most successful in preserving from political contagion ?he poor of this county, for whose interesting condition, surrounded as they are by trai tors, they cannot but entertain the most lively anxieties. " We have been favoured (says the Mayo Consti toils's) with a tattering account, from the first autho rity, of the state of this county, as contrasted with Roscommon and Galway. It concludes thus :-:- The whole fiontier of the county of Mayo adjoin-1 ing Galway and Roscommon is lined by parties of the Militia Staffs and the Yeomanry, to whom, in truth, we owe our safety, whin all around us is in such a disorganized state. Those parties have been amply provided with ammunition, &c. &c. and every assistance called for, through the prompt kindness of the Right Hon. Charles Grant, who has uniformly and instantly complied with every wish and sugges tion of the Magistrates of the County. Forty Dra goons are to be stationed at Clare immediately, and three hundred Infantry will be in the county in less than three days. Thus we flatter ourselves the safety of this county is effectually secured.' " TUAM, FEBRUARY '2B.—A number of our Land lords have, within .the last week, given notice that they will give out their land in future at tire rate of Four Pounds per acre. We would like much to see a similar liberality followed up by other Gentlemen, as by that means a great check would be given to the Ribbon system, which at present wears so formi dable an appearance in our country. The shepherds of these Gentlemen in our neighbourhood who lowered their rents, are all allowed to return to their situations by the Ilibbonmen, but the different other Gentlemen are necessitated to herd their flocks them selves, fur no shepherd dare remain with them. GALWAY, FEBRUARY `2B.—This day, and yester day, 350 men belonging to the 9th Royal Veteran Battalion, commanded by Colonel Twigg, arrived here from Birr. We ate informed that 1000 men in addition to these, are under orders fir this town.' The ftegimenti are the 60th and 44th. This great acquisition of military will, we are confident, shortly and effectually suppress the present tumults and re st°, e perfect order. GALWAY, tit tr 2—A most shameful and highly reprehensible conduct has been practised in this town within these last few days. We allude to the play ing of patty tunes by the drum, of the 77th Foot. We must suppose that such isroceedings did i:or ema, nate from them - . No pretext should be suffered to exist that could excite in the public mind those angry feelings, of which men are but toe susceptible. Were it not for the timely interfetence of the Mayor, on the night or' Monday last, the mailt of an• affray be tween the countrymen and the , icquet which accom panied the drums, in all probability, would have ter minated in the loss of the lives of some inoffending persons. LIMERICK, MARCH I.—An affray took place yes terday in the town cf Killaloe, in which the usual gladiators' of that place were the principal actors. Fire-arms were exhibited in abundance on both sides, and used with effect ; one man named Francis M'Na nntra, received two bails in his body, and there are but little hopes of his recovery. Friday night, some ground was illegally turned up on the lands of Monegetragh, in the County of Clare. Oft Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Kennelly, Parish Priest, represented from the altar the enormity of the offence, which operated so powerfully on his flock, that .500 of them repaired to the lands, and laid down the ground in its original stite. It is supposed that the perpetrators were from another Parish. RoseoxtmoN, nett I.—Proceedings have al ready commenced at our Assizes, against the insur rec:ionary banditti called Ribbonmen. Six of them have been tried and.convicted. The awful sentence of death was instantly passed on one of the most fla grant of the criminals. . Fri Jay, the LORD-LIEUTENANT of Ireland arrived at the Viceregal residence, in the Phoenix Park. DUEL. —Toesday se'noight, a meeting took place at the North Wall, near Dublin, between a Mr. C—, and a Mr. After exchanging shots, the for mer Gentleman was slightly wounded in the breast, when their friends interfered, and succeeded in effect ing a reconciliation. I Tit lc DUKE OF DEVONSIIIII2.—The gaieties of Chatsworth ceased about the Ist instant. His Grace left that hospitable chateau early in the week, for London. The plate and other valuables are arrived, and nearly all the domestics. The former has been conveyed to Chiss.ick, wherein eighty strangers' beds have been put up. Much festivity is expected to prevail there during the Easter holidays; and soon after the meeting of the new Parliament, a grand ball and supper will be given at Devonshire House;', the improvements in the latter mansion will be corn-'' pleted by that time. ARGYLE NEW ROOMS.—The first grand Philhar monic Concert this season, took place on Monday night, at the above elegant Rooms. At half-past eight the Concert commenced by an admirable band : there were sixty vocal and instrumental performers.' The boxes were filled with rank and fashion ;—there were upwards of seven hundred persons present, among whom were, Lord and Lady AstisnooK, Earl of POMFRET, Lady POLE , Lady L aco, Sir dEORGE SHER, Viscount CARLETON, Lady STEWART, S/rJOHN FREDRICK , COOOSesS Of ABOENE, Sir GEORGE MADDEN, Gen. KYD, Mr. HOARE, &C. GEORGE THE THIRD, HIS COURT AND FAHMT..— This Work, which is looked for with considerable impatience, is reported to be composed after the mo del of the Memoirs of the Duc de St. Simon, and THIEBAUD'S Frederick the Great. It will be etnbel lished with no less than eighteen finely engtaved Portraits. THE INtURIECTION IN SPAIN. , The fact, which has been positively stated, both in the French Papers and in letters from Spain, .that Rlzoo,:after leaving Algesiras, had retreated to the . Isle of Leon, is new contradicted; it appearing, by letters received yesterday in the City, that this Chief continued his marclr (afteriaalting at Vejer to afford the convoy the time necessary for reaching the hie of ,Leon in safety, and to protect them from O'DoN NELL) to the Eastward, and actually entered Malaga on the 18th ultimo, where hetad been for some days expected, with a force of 4,000 men. This news is conveyed in a dispatch from General O'DozotELL to . the Court of Madrid and iu that it is alleged that the Patriots were attacked three several times on their march by the Royalists; and that they were subse quently compelled .by force to quit Malaga, where so little disposition previously existed in their favour, that the Chief Authorities retired on their approach. The private letters, however, pteseat a different nar rative, as they assert, that HIROO entered Malaga without - slistaining any injury from O'DONNELL, or oppositionfrom the citizens; and on the 19th, as the French Papers also state, moved from thence in the directioil of Grenada, where the inhabitants had ma- nifested so decided a bias to the same cause, that great apprehensions were entertained at Madrid that they would declare for the Constitutionalists imme diately on their arrival; and from the rapid move ments of RIEGo, it was inferred that he placed his reliance on a knowledge of such a sentiment in his favour. RIEGO and his little army were to pass the night of the 19th at Veles Malaga, and would pro ceed on the following day to occupy a strong post on the road between Malaga and Grenada, where a handful of men would be able to protect.him from the advance of O'DMINEXL. EGUIA, the Ex-Minister of War, was at Grenada, the place to which he had been banished on his dismissal from office; and hav- lug little favour to expect from the . Constitutional Army, was preparing to quit the city. Distant as Barcelona lay from the scene of action, the plans of MEW, it is said, would be only completed on his reaching . that place, where he expected to find a ready co-operation with his views. Letters from Barcelona, of the 21th ult. were indeed received yes terday by the French Mail, which mention the exist ence of such a disposition, arising ft Om the reliance place. by the inhabitants on the temperate system of conduct pursued by the Constitutional Army. These prospects of success in the South, are likely to be seconded by revolutionary movements in the Northern Provinces of Spain, and particulatly at the foot of the Pyrenees. Minn, it is no* stated by let ters from Paris, has passed the frontier, and entered his native country, wherenumbers are said to have been hastening to join him. The journey of that Chief through France was not effected without con siderable difficulty, as he had been for some time re garded with suspicion, and all his motions during his residence in Paris were strictly watched. He contrived to elude the vigilance of the Police, by pre tending to have received a severe injury by the over turning of a cabriolet, and voluntarily subjecting himself to a close confinement to his apartment. He quitted Paris late on the evening of the 18th ult. with great secrecy, and arrived at Bourdeaux before day-break on the morning of the 22d, 'having so arranged his plan of travelling, as to - enter the principal towns on his route at - a very early or very late hour, in order to avoid observation. At Bour deaux, MINA was recognized by some one who knew him, and the event of his. arrival there was transmitted to the Spanish Embassy at Pails, who were not aware, till this intelligence reached-them, that MINA had quitted the French capital. Still, however, he had difficulties to surmount, as a gene ral order had been sent to Bayonne to detain and examine strictly all Spaniards passing the frontier.— At three o'clock in the morning of the 24th, he en tered St. Esprit, a suburb of Bayonne, with two Gen tlemen who had accompanied him from Paris; and the suspicions of the Police being excited, on the in spection of their passports, an attempt was made to place them in confinement. Their mode of escape in this instance is not known ; they suddenly disap peared, however, leaving behind some valuable pro perty, and all traces of them were lest till the 26th, when advices were received at Bayonne that had been seen at a village in Navarre, about nine leagues distant, at the head of 500 followers. At Pamplona, and ether towns in that part of Spain, a spit it of disaffection to the present Government was believed to exist. .In advices from Cadiz, of the 18th ultimo, also received yesterday, it is stated,That the troops in the' Isle de Leon had determined on . a desperate attack on the Cortadura, and that* no less than 46 Officers had volunteered to serve in the attempt, which was considered as a sort of forlorn hope, in whichniany lives must be sacrificed. Algesiras, it appears, was occupied by the Royalist troops after the 'departure of Rreqo, and the blockade of the harbour; previ ously existing ;was removed. Extract of -a Letter from New York, dated 27th January.—" It was reported at Rio Janeiro, a short time since, that a Chilian force had united to that of . A RTIGABi to act against Buenos Ayres. Although this report is improbable, yet it appears that the famous CARERA, an enemy to the authorities at Buenos Ayres, has arrived at Valparaiso, from Monte Video, and been introduced to the Governor ; and an express was immediately sent 'to the capital Of Chili;; THE ARMY. On.the9.B th and 9th ult. 350 men, belonging to the 9th Royal Veteran Battaiion, commanded by Co lonel Telco, arrived at Galway, from Birr. The 6f.;ih and 44th are also under orders for the same place. The Royal Staff Corps marched into quarters at Ashford on Saturday. last, from Saltwo , )d Rtrracks, to-remain there during the Election at Hythe. NAVAL 1.% TEL LIG ENCE.
