This young Nobleman met Mr. Lawless yesterday, in Arthur-street, in the town of Belfast, and accosted him in the following manner. " Mr. Lawless, you have thought proper to speak of me, within the last six mouths, in a public assembly in this town, in such a manner as is most painful to my feelings. You have reported me as a person that would ti eat .the public opinion of Belfast with contempt, and that -I would put the petition of the people of Belfast in my breeches pocket. Now, Sir, I should rather you would abstain from alluding to me, or making any reflection on my conduct." To this Mr. Lawless im .mediately replied, "That Lord Belfast was a public character, and that his conduct, as a Member of the Legislature, was public property, and exposed, like all other legislators, to public animadversion. That be (Mr. Lawless) world always feel it his duty to ob strve on the conduct of the most distinguished as well as the humblest Member of Parliament." To this Lord Belfast replied—" He did not deny the power of public opinion, but he wished to be done justice to.; and it was not justice to say that he put the peti tion of the people of Belfast in his breeches pocket, who never received the petition." Mr. Lawless an swered, " Do you, my Lord, say, on your lioneur, that you never received the petition of the people of Belfast ?"—" I do say so, on my honour," replied Lord Belfast. " Then," said Mr. Lawless, " I have no hesita tion in saying, I regret extremely that any expression should have fallen from me in a public assembly painful to your Lordship's feelings, because I spoke under the impression that your Lordship had received the Petition, and, having received it, neglected it, or in other words, oft it in your breeches pocket." MELAWCHOLY•AFIAIR.—On Friday evening, Mr. WALTER law's, of Barrack-street, Dublin, was ar rested on a Sheriffs writ, and unfortunately refused accompanying the bailiffs, who, in consequence, wounded hitn so desperately, that he expired in the Sheriffs' prison (whither he had been taken subse quently) on Saturday evening, at half-past seven. Peace Officers Roe, Phillips. and Thyne, of the Mountrath-street Division, took three persons who are charged with the offence into custody ; their names are M'Cormick, Hdhsrington, and Bait. The wounds of which the deceased died were inflicted with a sword-cane. + l` r - -----~ E T - __ . .; Rw-. __ WEDNESDAY; SEPTEMBER 18. 1822. THE FUNDS. - STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Duke of ' WELLINGTON has also left town for Vienna, so that all conjectures on these two points are terminated; not so, however, as to the . part which the British Envoy will sustain at the approaching Congress. Firmly p,e;suaded, as we are, that the meetittg of the Holy Alliance Junto is but to renew the compact they haveinade, or to plot new measures against the, growth of liberal opinions, in whatever country they may manifest themselves, we conceive the duty of out. Representative as a very ktraight.forward - one— ; that of at once entering a solemn protest against all direct or indirect interference with the internal affairs of foreign States; and then, if that fails 'of diverting the other parties from their purpose, he has only to' , put that protest on record, and quit the Congress. Such an act, while it would go far towards dis concerting the projects of Austtia, Russia, and Prus sia, would vindicate this country in the eyes of the world, and prove, that while we strictly maintained c r own liberties, we respected those of other countries. - It has been said that the Congress will not ioterfere in the affairs of Spain and Portugal. We shall rejoice to find that the Holy Alliance has been seared from a project which formed the principal object of its members assembling at Vienna: we have, however, some doubts of this, and scarcely think that the Em perors of RUSSIA and Ausrata will be so easily frightened flout a favourite object, though, if Eng land assume but a decisive tone, Spain and Portugal will not be cursed by their interference for the pre. sent; and even Lows XVIII. may outlive a few more conspiracies, although his Ministers are taking all imaginable pains to excite them. Be this as it may, the members of the Congress are rapidly assembling, and we shell soon be able to " draw the curtain and skew the picture." The French Pipers of Sunday have reached us.— An article from Vienna, noticing the preparations for the approaching Congress, says—" As soon as the Duke of WELLINGTON and Viscount Mon - rmoanxcv arrive, the delegates of the five great Powers will turn their attention, it is said, to the drawing up of a general plan for the deliberations of the Congress, which will be presented to the Emperor ALEXANDER, who is expected to arrive at Vienna on the 7th. It is believed that the residence of this Sovereign will be short. He has already requested that neither fetes nor ceremonies may mark his arrival at Vienna.— About the middle of September the two EMPERORS will proceed to Italy ; but the Congress of Verona will not commence befoie the beginning of October. Prince dETTERNICH will, as at the last Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, exercise the functions of President of the Ministerial conferences." The Journal des Debate has a very gloomy article on the affairs of ,the Greeks, and despairing of their emancipation, recommends to Christian Europe to afford them an asyJum. " Christian Europe," says the Editor, should procure fora Christian nation the enjoyment of those civil and religious rights which no Government refuses to its own subjects without a breach of the social tie, and the destruction of its own laws. If some Cantons of Greece could be piked under the administration of Archbishops and Muni cipal Councils as they partly were before the insur rection ; if the Turks were excluded from these pri vileged Cantons as they were in Wallachia and Mol davia; and if these arrangements were guaranteed by all the Christian Powers, the Ottoman Porte would gain a certain trgntte, a source Or riches, and the 4 Greeks would find a teartarrrefage until the time when, better bretight:sti end, liettexprgsaleed o they would becemtriemansedfe6tharOleit libeetyi.

To these wishes, participated in by all the true Royalists, by all the friends of European and.Chris thin legitimacy,, we add our desire to see statesmen take into their serious consideration the plans which we have pointed out for some days, on the possibility of assigning to the Greek colonies certain territories in Europe, which are useless, as well as chargeable, to the States who own them; but which, in the hands of an industrious and trading people ) might become the finest country, , and perhaps raise a new Syracuse or a new Marseilles." _ We confess we do not think the cause of liberty and humanity in Greece so hopeless; and have much greater fears of its suffering by the pen and ink de crees of the Congress At Verona, than by the scimetars of the Turks. - M. BENJAMIN COWSTANT, whom the Government agents at the late trial at Poitiers laboured so much to'calumniate, has answered this atrocious prciceed ing in the following spirited letter: • TO THE EDITOR OF THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. ",Paris, September 14, 1822. "Stn-1 have this day read the deposition of M. de Carrere, Sub-Prefect of Satiatur. The explanations which I am just pub lishing as to that affair having been completed before that depo sition reached me, I have not been able to speak of it. That omission I supply by this letter, which I pray you to insert lite rally. I render myself responsible for the facts and the expressions. " MI. de Carrere says that I arrived at Saumur in the night. This is a lie. Pray do not change the word ;it is the only proper one. I arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, and M. de Carrere knew it immediately, for, at four o'clock, the Police were at my dour. " He says, that during the night a consultation took place, and that the public tranquillity was threatened. 14 lies lie 1 During the dinmr, the tranquillity was threatened by cries raised against me, under my windows. The letter of the Mayor of Saumur, which is to tie published, states the fact. M. de Carrere knew it, fur his agents were at the door, that the rioters, who it was sup posed would, frighten me, should nut break ft in prematurely.— Several Magistrates of Saunter, and M.Bosibs, Deputy of Maine et-Loire, will attest these facts. , of the garrison: It is pretended that nothing lin agitation but to prepare the materiel for an of 60,000 men: Yet we `see hardly any move; of troops; for, except 200 men lately arrived Pau, the cardcm has not received the reinforce ments which the Paris Journals have announced * , It, true that preparations are spoked Ul,,TOsii a camp of 12,000 men in iris country . from_Bi... dirt to St. Jean de Luz, as well as of the speedy ar• rival-of the troops that are to compose it Other reports are circulated of the hostile inten tions of our Government towards Spain. On the other hand, a plot is said 'to have been discovered, formed -by a small number of French • refugees' in Spain, tending to disturb the tranquillity of that coun try, with the support of some Spanish troops t so many conjectures, in short, are made respecting these mill: tary movements that everybody desires to be relieveri from this uncertainty. The most probable is,'lhat the neighbouring Spanish provinces king the theatre of a most sanguinary and disastrous civil war, the French Government provisionally, and in expectation of the results of the Congress at Verona, wishes to make its territory respected against the innovators " M. de Carrere mays, that I promised to set out early in the morning. This is a lie. When, after having suffered the house where I dined to be surrounded for three hours, hoping that I should go out by a private way, he begged me to give up the banquet of the next day, I declared that I would not dy like a culprit, and I would depart only in full day. M. de Carrere wish edit to be thought that the population of Saumur forced me to leave the town. Thence his tolerance to the rioters who threatened my hosts as well as me. M. de Carrera has sported with their lives as well as with mine, to have this satisfaction. " This was reckoned on, for the Quatidienne published a nar rative of 0 my flight,' and of the services M. de Carrere had ten dered me. These services were limited to the exposing me, as well as those who had entertained me, to be assassinated. The attempt began at eight o'clock, M. de ('arrere arrived at eleven; and when he says that the National Guard resisted authority, it is a fact that some of the National Guards not being able to obtain an authority to protect their fellow-citizens and me, came without orders round the house to save our live,. " M. de Carrere says, that I alleged as a reason for. not setting out, the health of my wife. This is a lie. I had declared that I would not set out till nearly mid-day, and when M. de Carrere returned to press me, he may recollect that the conversation was shot t and clear. " Ile concludes by a fifth lie, so much the less explicable as public notoriety demonstrates its infamy. He wishes to have it believed that I travelled with a female other than Madame B. Constant, that I made her assume that name. I cannot guess the motive of an imposition so easy to confound, and to throw back on its author. in Spain. Tranquillity is far from being restored in the thrie provinces of Alava, Ouipuscoa, and Biscay, notwith-; standing the severe measures adopted by General Espinosa. On the contrary, the bands of Zavala, Guesala, and Uranga, daily increase. Zavala and Guesala have collected about 1,100 men, and traverse the mountains of Alava and Biscay in four bands, while Uranga maintains himself in Guipuscoa. These three partizans cover the great road, and have detachments for the express purpose of intercepting the mails and the communication. The Constitutionalists of these countries, with those of Navarre, using reprisals, no longer give quarter to their aiversaries. Harassed by fatigue from the continual and fruitless marches which they areobliged to make in a country full of mountains—fruitless, because the Defenders of the Faith always fly at their approach, attacking only the small escorts and the unhappy stragglers, whom they shoot on the spot, al lowing them, they say, the advantage of confession ; a ceremony which the Constitutionalist‘, have omitted when they have made any prisoners. At this moment, " However, M. de Carrere and his compeers should not insult women. This excess of meanness is naturally allied to . the excess of ferocity. This genus had been lost since 1793. 0 I set aside the denunciations which do not personally con- 1 cern me—against the Mayor of Saumur, his relations, the na tional guard, and the citizens. M. de Carrere bears down on an unfortunate man whose private life all the witnesses had re speeted. So abject a spirit blasts itself without imposing the la bour of doing so on others. " I repeat, I take on myself the responsibility of this letter, and I beg you to accept the assurances, &c. (Signed) " BENJAMIN CONSTANT." PARIS, SEPTEMBER Is. The persons condemned for the conspiracy at Rochelle, have been removed to the prison at Poissy, therefore, they carry on a war of extermination. A Provisional and Ambulatory Junta has been formed in Guipuscoa, like that in Navarre; it has already decreed many measures of administration, to which the inhabitants have not been inattentive, especially to the summons to the youth to join the Defenders of the Faith, for the number of the volun teers increases daily ; so that considering the opposi tion which the Constitutionalists have to combat in this country, it is to be feared they will be over powered, or obliged to repass the Ebro. The columns of Colonels Campillo and Jauregui 4re continually in motion ; the first in Biscay, the second in Guipuscoa, where they have beaten their adversaries whenever they could overtake them, which is not easy, because they follow the plan (4 . Qnesada in Navarre, which is, to enlist and organize troops, to cut off the communications, intercept the couriers, attack the small escorts and garrisons ; but it may be said that, with the exception of St. Sebas tian, Irun, Toloso, Bergara, Mondragon, Durango, Bilboa, and Vittoria, they are masters of the whole Province, so that the last remittance of the loan, amounting to two millions of francs, which was forte warded some days ago from Bayonne, for General Espinosa, was still detained at Irun the day before yesterday, for 'fear it should fall into their hands. The accounts from Navarre are nearly of the Sala: nature. Espinosa, at the head of 3000 men, divided into three columns, advanced ca the 3d, upon the positions of Quesada, and occupied on the 4th Urroz and Aoiz, but the General of the Faith and the Trappist, having together about four thousand men, had advanced from the Roncal, going along the mountains on the valley of Canfran, having left a garrison of 300 men at Irati, and a battalion of 600 at Ochagania, Taurieta, Aronoz, Espana, and le Ron cal. On the Stb, Quesada surrounded the fortress of in the Department of the Seine and Oise.
