Such is the wish of this Deputation, who pray to the AL MINTY to preserve for many years the important life of your Majesty. " Anla, 27th Nov." (Signatures of the Deputation.; The French Papers up to Tuesday last, and Madrid Papers to the 29th ult. came to hand this morning. The former contain little intelligence of interest re specting France, but give ample evidence that a war between Russia and Turkey is just at hand ; indeed it is reported, on snore than one authority, that hosti lities had actually commenced. This report is, perhaps, premature, but all the accounts concur in the activity which prevails in the Russian Army, in its preparations for an extensive war, and in the very decisive tone which Russia has assumed in her de mands on Turkey. The Greeks seem to have turned the report of ap proaching hostilities between Russia and the Turks to their advantage, announcing that they would have the assistance of the former Power. These is now se doubt that Tripolizza has surrendered to the Greeks, who appear to be victorious everywhere ; and it is reported that Patras has been taken by as sault, and the Turkish garrison put to the sword. In these events, however, England might perhaps stand aloof; but, as if there was never to be a Conti nental war in which she is to look tamely on, an in snrrection of a formidable character is said to have 1 broken out in the lon ian Islands, where the inhabi tants are so ungrateful as to rise a g ainst their English protectors. This might have been expected; for 'when the Continental Greeks were boldly attempting to break their chains and resume the dignity of their nation, it was not to be expected that their more courageous brethren in the Islands should passively submit to a foreign yoke, either Turkish or foreign— whether imposed on them by a Firroan of the GRAN') Suwon, or an act of the Congress of the Holy The Madrid Papers, ind the intelligence of a ice date from that capital, in the French Journals, is oft more favourable character than the previous accounts. The KING is said to have refused to accept the resig. n ation of the Ministers, who have explained thpe-whole a their conduct to the satisfaction of the Permanent Assembly of the Cortes. This instance of firmness, on the part of his MAJESTY is said to have discon 4erted the disaffected, who seek to c onsole themselves spreaJing unfounded reports of insurrections in the yeovinces. state as to require all the wisdom and energy of the' Government, not merely to suppress them for the present, but as far and as speedily as possible to re move the causes in which these violations of the public peace, and of the tranquillity of the country, have originated. .DATURD,ANCES IN IRELAND. IRONt THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF SIONDAY. We have endeavoured, by every possible means, to ascertain certain important facts relative to the pre sent state of the country. We have carefully watched - 1 the provincial Newspapers—we have corresponded' with well-informed men in various parts of Ireland, but particularly in the disturbed districts r —we have had personal communications with Gentle:leen from the south, and with many of all classes, in i *this City, and after all, we cannot trace the slightest symptom of political disaffection, or of religious animosity in any one part of Ireland. Considering that we are acquainted with men in different ranks, of all parties and persuasions, and that neither in one way nor in another can we find any cause for alarm, it seems to us most surprising, that such absurd rumours should excite considerable agitation—rumours of events to come, which really appear to be imprac ticable. For instance, it was circulated on Saturday, that the City was to be attacked by 8000 men, some said 80,000, precisely at the hour of eleven o'clock at night, and that the Proclamation from the Head Office to shut the public houses at eight o'clock, was issued in consequence. To counterbalance this alarm ing report, the Evening Papers stated, that the erec tion of the barriers around the City had been sus pended, which shewed that the Government did not anticipate any unusual occurrence immediately, or certainly the precautionary measures would not have been abandoned. We waited until the awful hour of eleven should arrive—and arrive it did—but neither Captain hock, with his eighty thousand, appeared—nor even did Lieutenant Starlight, with his advanced division, of eight thousand, come forward to frighten the women and children—for the city was never so tranquil. At the hour of twelve, we passed through several streets, and were much gratified to perceive the stillness that prevailed; the unusual quietness; the total absence of quarrelling among drunken men; in a word, the as pect of the city was totally changed, and we hope it will remain in this very improved condition : but let us inquire into the cause; the public-houses were ac tually shut about nine o'clock, and these nuisances being thus closed, the labourim classes had no op portunity of spending their weeks wages, of getting drunk, of quarrelling, and fighting; and, of course, they had returned to their homes with their money in their pockets. We have, indeed, no hesitation in saying, that if the Magistrates would make this order perpetual, and see it strictly enforced, it would do snore to extend morals and civilization than all the I Benevolent Societies will ever accomplish, and it ought also to be carried into effect in all the cities, towns, and villages throughout Ireland. DISTURBED DISTRICT&I We regret to say, that our intelligence from the i South affords too many instances of outrage, and that the misguided peasantry seem still to be pursuing their lawless measures with undiminished activity. Monday night, the house of Mr. WILKINSON, of I Caherilly, in the County of Limerick, was searched for arms, and the banditti obtained one musket.— i They also attacked the house of Mr. HANNAN, where they got another gun. On the evening of. the same i day, four policemen were availed by a party in the t wood near Currah, as they were returning from Ratl keale so Pallace Kenry. The police fired into the wood, which dispersed the ruffians. On Tuesday and Wednesday night, the houses of four respectable farmers, near Bruff, were searched for arms, and I none being found, the banditti demanded money to purchase them. The house of P. RYAN, near Hos- , pital, was attacked ; he refused admittance, but they , set fire to some rape-stalks at his door. On Tuesday, , the house of Mr. BURN, of Mohane, was attacked by a party, demanding fire-arms and money. On Wed- , nesday night, the house of Mr. BARRY, near Bailin*. guard, was attacked for arms. He resisted, and in a short time, a party of the 98d Regiment =lived, z which scoured the country till daybreak next morn- , ing, but no trace of the villains could be found which spews that the military had been watched, and timely information given to the banditti. Thursday night, a number of armed men went to , the house of the Rev. Mr. MADDER, Rector of Bally brood, and proposed certain tegulations respecting tithes, intimating at the same time, that if he did not acquiesce, they would again visit him. Friday night, the tucking-mills and house of Mr. GLEESON, near Bruff, were attacked by an armed party, which car ried off a number of blankets and pieces of frieze. — On the same night, a number of young ash-trees were maliciously cut and stolen from the lands of Derry kneckane, the property of Alltt.t., Esq. in the South Liberties of Limerick. Friday night a"party went to the lands of Grannagh, with an intention to carry off the trees; but being met by an adverse gang of ban ditti, determined to give opposition, from intetested graves, the orchard was s.tved from destruction. It is stated that all the horses and cars of the neigh bouring tenantry were put in requisition to take a part in this outrage. Mr. SHEEHY, of Ballintubber, has suffered a new injury : five head of cattle were driven off his farm of Glenquin on Wednesday last, and he can find no account of them. We formerly stated that the Catholic Clergy had lost much of their usual influence with the misguided peasantry. A threatening notice was sent to the Rev. Mr. CONNERY, Parish Priest of Kildimo and Ard canny, on Sunday last, commanding him to quit his present residence, on pain of punishment condign. In the county of Tipperary, near Clonmel, the bad principles of Captain Rock have been but too evidently manifested. On Monday night, about 50 wretches assembled between Caber and Cashel, and proceeded to the vicinity of Knockgrafton, wherehey dragged from a cabin a poor man and woman , whom they flogged. Mr. BARRY of Caber, the Seneschal to Lord GUIs- GA Lt, attempted to hold his usual Court, at Bally looby, on Wednesday last ; but notices were served on the Jurors, that they should make their wills before they attended. The owner of the house was also threatened, and the consequence was, that the Seneschal could not hole his Court. In this neigh bourhood notices regarding tithes have been sent to several Gentlemen, and it is intimated that great re ductions are expected from the Clergy. Monday night, a large patty assembled at Thorny bridge, and on Tuesday night, bands, in search for , arm entered several houses in that neighbourhood. `They forced their way with crow-bars when refused admittance.. They announced their determination to abolish tithes and taxes. They searched several houses, and obtained a few offensive weapons. On. Tuesday night, they attacked a house at Moors town Walsh, within a mile and a half of Clonmel. The occupier being in a slated hopse, resisted and fired at the banditti. The party retired tor a short time, but returned with spades, 55.411 which they snipped a part of the roof, and threw' in burning turf and straw. Under these circumstances, the oc cupier, Mr. Moen's, was obliged to surrender his arms, two muskets and a pistol. They told MORRIS that they would soon swear him not to pay either tithes or taxes. In the neighbourhood of Rosogroon, notices were posted that no person should offer more than 30s. rent for the best land, and from that raw down to 14s. per acre; and also, that no arrears of tithes should be paid. COUNTY OF MAYO. Although this county continues free from acts of open violence, the system of administering unlawful oaths is extending among the peasantry. It has now got into the Barony of Tyrawly ; four persons, * namely. John Carr, Peter GiUesAy, Eneas Early, and Matthew Chambers, of the parish of Crossmolina, having been on Tuesday committed to the county jail by GEORGE °Emmy, Esq. of Germer Abbey, charged with being Ribboninen, and with aiding and; assisting in administering unlawful oaths. COUNTY OF ROSCOMMON. Wednesday se'nnight, in consequence of an alter cation that took place between them, a man named Cunningham was killed here by a thrust of a cane sword, which he received through the heart, from one 111•Manusr of the Roscommon Police. An In quest was held on the body, the next day, and a verdict of 0 1 4/4/ Murder was returned against the police man. He has been committed to Roscommon jail to abide his trial at the ensuing Assizes. COUNTY OF LIMERICK. Saturday se'nnight, about four o'clock in the after noon, the Rev. Mr. TURNER, Rector of Duleck, was stopped near his own house, by three footpads, well armed, who dragged him off his horse, and after having covered his face with the cape of his surtout, threw him on his back on the ground, while they tore his clothes and rifled his pockets. They took from the Gentleman £l9 in notes, some ten-penny pieces, a silver muff-box, and a valuable watch. COUNTY OF CORK. A person who acted as a sort of leader among the marauders, has been arrested by ROBERT Twins, Esq. an active Magistrate of the county of Kerry, and conveyed to Dublin, where be is expected to give much valuable information. He is a person above the ordinary rank, and has disclosed the names of nearly three hundred individuals who were engaged in these nocturnal disturbances. He has also, we are informed, given information where thirty stand of arms have been recovered. Much credit is due to Mr. Twists for the address and promptitude with which he effected the arrest of this man. Mr. Twin being armed, met him in a solitary part of the coun try, and having reason to suspect his being engaged in the late disturbances, threatened him unless he made a disclosure of all he knew, which, after some time, he consented to do. He was then forwarded to the metropolis, where Mr. Twigs has also gone. DREADFUL CATASTROPIIEr•Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a most promising young Gentle man, fifteen years old, the eldest son of Major LENON, who resides at Grange Cottage, in the Queen's County, Ireland, within three miles of Callow, got leave from his father to go out for the purpose of killing rabbits. The young Gentleman wrapt him self up in a Portuguese cloak, with the intention of calling upon the son of a neighbouring farmer, of the name of MAKER, some years older than himself, who generally accompanied him on such occasions. In a fatal moment, however, Mr. LENOX, conceived the idea of giving the young farmer a surprise, and concealing his face—which he did by ele vating the cloak above his head—on arriving at Mr. MAHER'S house he assumed a feigned voice, and leaning over a hatch-door, demanded their money, arms, &c. Young MAKER, the rustic friend and com panion of Mr. LENON'S hours of recreation, struck with the supposed danger of the moment, seized a blunderbuss loaded with slugs, which lay by the fire side, and fired it at the young man, in whose defence he would have died. himself ! The consequence was, the nose, and a considerable part of the head, were li terally blown away. Dr. REED and Surgeon BYRN, of Carlow, were immediately sent for, but they could only put an - end to thetorturing anxiety of the wretched parents of both the patties, by declaring that hope had fled for ever! Mr. LEMON died on Thursday.-- The miserable young man who committed the act, was seized with a delirium, and has gone off, no person can tell where! Saturday there was a Coro ner's Inquest held on the body.—Verdict, Acciden tal Death.—Carlow Journal. Mullins IN W H ITECHAPEL.--A few nights since a horrid murder was perpetrated in the neighbour hood of Whitechapel, on the person of Richard Neads, a labourer. It appears that on the night of the mur der, the deceased was, with some of his companions, at the Green Man public-house, in Castle-street, Whiiechapel, where a man, named Mahoney, with whom the deceased had fought a pitched battle about twelve months ago, interfered with their conversa tion, and brought forward this circumstance, which gave rise to high words. Mahoney coolly observed, " That he was not done with the deceased, and it would not be long before he would do for him," or words to that effect ; and on Neads quitting the place with his companions, about one o'clock in the morn ing, Mahoney, in company with another man, fol lowed him outside the door, and made an attack upon the deceased, who was knocked down by him, and beaten in a dreadful manner. On the deceased getting up to defend himself against the attack s of his opponer.t, the latter seized a tremendous stone, and, with the greatest violence, gave the deceased a blow upon the back of the head, which felled him to i the ground in a state of insensibility, and the blood issued in profusion from his nose and ears. Assistance was immediately rendered to the unfortunate man, who was taken to the London Hospital, and pot to bed. A Surgeon attended him, and on examining 'his head, a dreadful injury was found on the back part.

Thursday night, Sir WILLIAM READ, Bart. arrested five men in the parish of Feacle, in the county of est Clare, for administe rin g ille g al oaths, who were n day transmitted to Ennis jail. Letters received yesterday from Pernambuco, dated the 27th of October, state, that a great change has been produced in the situation of affairs there, by the arrival of orders from Lisbon, in pursuance of the Decrees of the Cortes, for the recall of the Governor, the formation of a Provisional Govern ment by the vo tes of the Colleg e of Electors, the li c ensing the Militia for a given period, and for the removal of the European troops to Lisbon. In consequence of these orders, the election of the Members of the Junta too ave k place on the 26th, when the choice, as might h been expected, fell principally upon the native Bra zilians. Of eight Members e lected, there was only one European ; the rest are all said to be Brazilians by birth, and connected, directly or indirectly, with the insurrection of 1817. The turn the election had taken created so much disgust in the Portug uese,ere that nearly a ll the families of respectability w preparing to quit Pernambuco, either for Lisbon or Bahia. The Governor sailed on the 26th for Europe, in compliance with the order for his recmeall ; ay, and with an other vessel also left the port on the sa d eighty Portuguese passengers on board, for the same destination. Respecting the removal of the Troops, nothing had been done ' but it was expected they would be shipped for Bahia as soon as a body of na tive troops could be organised for the protection of the Government.
