In the county of Cork there are upwards of 150,000 persons in actual want of food.— In three parishes in Mayo, there are 9750 individuals inn similar situation, and a great portion of them suffering under fevers and dysenteries. At Cuppah, in Tipperary, there are 2000 famishing persons, nearly one-fourth of whom are now in the fever. At West port, in Galway, there are 14,000 applicants for food. Iu the parish of Ballynahill, fifteen persons died for want of food, and several more in the adjoining pa rishes. In several other places the distress is quite as great the nettles and weeds of the fields are quite exhausted, and the wretched victims of famine and disease often drop down while the food is distributing among them. The French Papers of Monday bring rather grati fying intelligence from S p ain, and give a full con tradiction to the falsehoods diurnally asserted in some of the Ultra Journals, of the success of the Insur gents, the threats against the KING, and a variety of other reports. It appears that the KING, instead of going to Madrid secretly and on compulsion as was stated, was, with the Royal Family, to make a public entry on the 27th ult. by the gate of Toledo. But the most important article respecting Spain in these Papers, is the KING'S Answer to the Message of the Cortes on the state of Spain, which was preented by the Ministers on the 20th. The following is a copy " I have recaved with the greatest utisfaction the Message addressed to me by the Cortes, in which they express their re pect for the Constitutional Throne, and their desire to contri bute is the felicity of the Monarchy. These sentiments, so be coming to the Repreuntatives of the Spanish People, afford me reasons to hope that the first powers of the State acting in con cert to put an end to present evils, anti to avoid those with which the future may threaten us, the agitation of the public mind will subside ; the hope of overthrowing the established system will vanish, and the nation will enjoy all Its benefits in peace. " The prospect presented by the restoration of the Constitu tional S) stem in le2o, was no doubt promising, as the Cortes have stated; but it was not difficult to foresee even then, in consulting the history of nations, that an Immense difference would exist between proclaiming and consolidating liberty, and that time alone, assisted by prudence and constancy, would be able to correct the accumulated abuses of several centuries, to oounect in the same uniform plan the various branches of the Public Administration, and to raise the opinions, the interests, and manners of the People to the level of its political institutions " It is not in the power of the Government to hurry on the natural course of things, nor to avoid the evils inseparable from great and difficult reforms : but I do not hesitate to assure the Cortes that I shall make an energetic use of all the means, fa. c ause, and rights with which the fundamental law invests me, to cause it to be religiously observed, and to remove the ob. stacks which may oppose its firm consolidation. " I rely on the co-operation of the Cores to attain so ins. portant an end ; on the wisdom and perseverance which charac terise the Spanish People ; on the enthusiasm and bravery of the t inny and the militia, on the influence of public opinion, and on the support of the immense majority of the nation, seeing with eatisfacticn amidst the grief created in my mind by the events which agitate some parts of Spain, that experience confirms the grounds on which my confidence is founded. 61 I flatter myself, with the resources decreed and the mune placed at the disposal of the Government, that I shall soon be. bold tranquillity re-established io Spain, and the attempts of the enemies of the coantry frustrated; and this without having re. course to extraordinary measures, which, seldom necessary, and often dangerous, are always a proof of the impotence of the Wing laws. " In extending my authority to all that concerns the primer-, vation of public order in the interior, and the external safety of the State, conformably to the Constitution and the Laws, I find all my tights and obligations comprised within that general basis . Faithful to so sacred an engagement, I shall spare neither efforts nor sacrifices to render my Constitutional Throne, in all times, and under all circumstances, the rallying point of good Spaniards " In vain shall the sacted name of Religion be invoked to se duce the senseless ; in vain shall it be attempted to confound the banner of loyalty with the colours of rebellion. My subjects shall listen obediently to the voice of their Monarch ; and in the contrary case, the sword of the law shall force back into the path of duty, those who would persist in their criminal wanderings. " The Cortes may be certain that whilst I shall labour to maintain tranquillity, time chief foundation of the i nterna l pro. and its rights to be td as I sat that it is should be attached Monarchs. resat, when the maintain trAngususty, tag ewe. .--- sperity of the State, I star cape Ili dignity a respected in rigs foreign mistime, convinced impossible tha tke indapeothsce of nations a without injury to the authority and dignity of • 1 rejoice that its rimming:me DM tho 1111111111111111111 ~--~ r s, J . :. 4. - ‘ , ll , , . • spirit of sedition stAdos if oveey direction to mislead the sitnfis inhabitand of the tewawy, and to crest* dangerous altercations, the Message of the Cones should have procured me so public and so solemn an opportunity of reiterating tai Ozpresdoo of my sincere whiz, that the Spanish nation may madder the rights of Throne as a pledge and a guarantee for its liberties and ONT. Aranjues, June IS, ISM. 44 FERDINAND." The French Papers also contain some information relative to the Greeks. An article from Odessa of June 6, says—" According to the last letters from Bt. Petersburgh, a report was current that a l)ecla ration would immediately appear, announcing that the Greeks must never reckon on the support of Russia in their foolish and guilty enterprise, and sum moning them, in consequence, promptly to accept a Turkish amnesty; but Europe witnessed a year since, that what is called a Turkish amnesty is•certain death, after having laid down their arms." Letters from Janina, of the 28th May, furnish fresh details respecting the manner in Which the Albanians have taken vengeance for the perfidy of CHOURSCHID PACHA towards Act. It is known that they were promised a share of the treasures of the latter, but CHOUHSCHID soon found means . to elude that-promise. New negotiations *me then set on foot, conducted by English agents. The Albanese appeared to allow themselves to yield ; a great number then engaged to serve against the Greeks under the orders of the PACHA, who caused six months pay to be paid in advance to these combatants. But in the very first affair, they abandoned CHOURSCHID, who was obliged to retreat as far as Janina, after experiencing a check and considerable losses near Kordiza. The diversion made by the Greeks at Metelino, appears now to have been of the utmost importance to their arms. It is stated from Zante, wider date of May 25, that the Morea, which previous to the insurrection scarcely contained a population of 500,000 indivi duals, has now more than a million of inhabitants, composed of Christian fugitives from Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, the Isles of the Archipelago, and every place whence they could fly to avoid the massacre of the Turks, whom the SULTAN has unmuzzled. Ge neral CotocornoNt is now in the environs of Patras, at the head of 14,000 men, perfectly armed and equipped, blockading Joesoue PACHA, who con tinues to. occupy the castle of a town which has ceased to exist. The Austrian Funds have been for some days lower at Frankfurt, which is attributed to the uncer tainty respecting the negotiations with the Potte. The last letters from Semlin state, that the Tut kish troops have been again reinforced on the frontiers of Servit, and that intelligence was every day expected of the entrance of the Turks into that Province. French Funds, Mwhlay, Five per Cents. 911. c. This fore.:oon we received a Spanish Mail, but the Papers it brings from Madrid are not later than the 20th ult. and possess little interest. An article from St. Sebacian's mentions a plot, which had been car rying on between the Governor of the fort of St. Juan de Ulloa, and the Spanish troops that were marching from the interior to embark, which was so well con trived, that had it not been discovered, New Spain would have been recovered in a week. It must have been well contrived indeed, to have accomplished such an object ; but the fact is, that South America is for ever lost to Spain. By an extraordinary conveyance, Madrid Papers and letters to the 27th ult. have been received. On die preceding day the Cortes approved, by a majority of four to one, the arrangements made by the Mi nisters with the Contractors of the last loan. In dis cussing a plan for the improvement of the Revenue, the Cortes have come to a resolution, that " fawn the Ist July, 1822, to the 30th June, 1823, the im portation, manufacture, and sale of tobacco of every I kind, shall be on account of the nation, without any corporation or individual being allowed to engage in this trade, except with respect to segars and snuff brought from the Havannah, which may be imported as heretofore, on payment of the duties." On the 16th ult. the Political Chief of Barcelona issued a Proclamation to the inhabitants, in which, after noticing the disturbances in that Province, he concludes with the following orders: " 1. The patriotic of Tertulls, established in the suppressed Convent, barefooted trinitarios, is shut from this day, and cannot be opened without the consent of the Political Chief. 44 2. No militiaman shall wear his uniform out of the service. " 3. No corps of militiamen, nor part of a corps, shall meet without the order or pet mission of their respective Chiefs. 44 et. Those who shall assemble without such perndssien shall be treated as disturbers of public order, and judged with all the severity of the laws." Hamburgh Papers to the 26th nit. have been re ceived. The Official Journal of Stockholm, of the 17th, contains an account of the dreadful fire at Nord kioping, by which it appears that 448 houses were burnt, and 3818 persons (not including the little children) are without shelter. Five or six persons, and a quantity of cattle, perished. A magazine of the Crown, with 8446 barrels ofeorn, was destroyed. About a third of that handsome town is reduced to a . heap of ruins.—A great part of the town of Sulabach was reduced to ashes on the 10th ult. and conflagra tions, of almost equal extent, have occurred in East Prussia and some neighbouting Polish towns. The rapidity with which the fire has spread in these in stances, is attributed to the dry nessef . the weather. ST. PETERSSURGH, JUNE 11. The Schah of Persia. at the head of a large and formidable army, condones his march without inter- " --7 7 1 . 4 7 94. • . rupdon against Bagdad. He has in his suite his three sons, and also Abbas Mirsa, who is well known in Europe, and resided so long as Ambassador froth his ; Court at London, Vienna, and Petet sburgh. A great plan is in contemplation here to-bring thel water of the Nerva, by means of an aqueduct to be erected, into every house, and even into the highest story. The expense of the aqueduct is estimated at 25,000,000 of roubles. A second plan relates to the establishment of a Russian Company of Insurance, for account of the Government, which would be ac companied with the prohibition from making any in surance in a foreign country. Up to the 6th of June, 265 ships had arrived at Rip, and 142 sailed. An Imperial Ukase of the 26th April, which is in tended to guard against the bad consequences of the failure of the harvest, such as have occurred for these two years in several provinces of the empire, orders the establishment of a Committee in the capital town of each Government, consisting of the Civil Governor and other official characters, whose chief duty is to see that their Government has a constant supply of bread. Corn magazines are to be established, and a special fund assigned to relieve the distressed by ad 4ancjng money where the magazines are insufficient; this money is to be repaid in two years at the latest, and to bear 6 per cent. interest, which is to be added to the fund. The property of the person relieved to be security for the sum advanced him. Those laud owners who do not take advantage of these measures, and yet suffer their peasants to want, will be placed, with their property, under judicial guardianship. HAMBURGH, JUNE sl: The first of our ships that sailed for the Greenland Whale and seal fishery returned yesterday to Gluck stadt, with a full cargo. The accounts of the other vessels that have sailed from the Elbe this year for Greenland, are likewise very favourable. It is to be regretted that the fishery has been so unsuccessful for several years together, that only three vessels have been sent from Hamburgh. Exchange on London, 37 3-37 6. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 11th of June. One of them contains the following im portant intelligence: The Young Brutus, which had arrived at Ba lti more in ten days from Laguira, brings intelligence that MORALRS had been defeated by Colonels PE- I NANO° and 111111/13, and his troops cut to pieces, and that Moamar; had fled to the island of Oro. Boct- VAR had, by proclamation, invited the inhabitants of Quito to submit to the Columbian forces. Everything wears a favourable aspect in that neighbourhood.— Intelligence from Petu, up to. February, states, that 4000 men, writ by Boum**, had formed a junction with SAN MARTIN, with which he landed at Pisco, captured the place, and subsequently routed the de tachment of CANTaaac. In Paraguay, a considerable number of troops were collecting, to provide against internal disaffection, as the commercial policy of the Protector was much disapproved of." =. NEW YORK, JUNE 10. It is again announced, that a commercial treaty between the United States and France has been con cluded, and signed by Mr. Adams on one part, and De Neuville on the other. An attempt to effect the independence of Potosi, in South Amet ica, was made in March last, and after a variety of incidents, terminated in the defeat of the projectors, and the execution of twenty-one, princi pally Officers, and inferior punishment of ten others. Our correspondent at Baltimore has furnished us with some extracts from the Rio Janeiro Gazette of the 19th February, from which it appears that the Prince Regent of the Brazils, determined on intro ducing the Constitutional System, had called a Coun cil of Procurators-General of the Provinces. The attributes of this Council are thus defined: " i. To give me advice, whenever it shall be ordered by mei in any matter of great importance and difficulty. " 2. To examine the great Projects of Reform to be made in the general and particular Administration of State which may be communicated to them. " Z. To propose to me the measures and plans which may appear to them the most urgent and advantageous for the wel lare of the United Kingdom, and for the prosperity of Brazil. " 4. Every one of the Members is to advocate and watch over the interests of Ms respective Provinee.* The same Paper contains an Ordinance, directing the Provisionary Government of the Province of Per nambuco, in the event of the arrival of any fresh Portuguese troops, not to allow them to disembark, but to intimate to them a determination which bad been formed, that they return to Portugal, the Pro visionary Government supplying them with neces saries for the voyage. The following is the force composing the Army belonging to the United Provinces of the River Plate, which acted in the liberation of Pern, and was at Lima in October last year, ready for service:—ln fantry, 3251 ; Cavalry, 931 ; Artillery, 162; Chiefs and Officers, 218.—Total, 4562. Five Negroes of Iredell county, North Carolina, belonging to General Davidson, lately took the desperate resolution of destroying the whole family by poison, to prevent being removed with them to Alabama. Two of the General's daughters only were destroyed, in the absence of their husbands. A dose (of hemlock) was ready for the General himself, but the plot was discovered before they were ready to complete their purpose. IMPORTATION PROM SooTs.earD.—Friday, a quan. tity of wheel-barrows and hand-berrowep imported FROM THE SAME ?ATM, JAN. 11. from Scotland, were sold by auction in front of the Tontine Coffee-house. Whether the price obtained was such as to warrant further importations of this species of raerchandize, we are not informed. The I person who made this shipment to the United States must,• we presume, have received his impression Of our country from some of the Ih:curate descriptions which have appeared in the Edinburgh :Rada', and Journals of British travellers. He must have con: eluded, either that the country was barren of trees, or that the people did not possess sufficient skill to manufacture such choice goods. ,He had beard his learned countryman ask, 4 , Who reads an American book?" and thought it would be as pertinent to in. ,quire, Who wheels an American wheelbarrow? Letters have been received in the United States from La Guayra, dated the 11th of May, stating, that the naval force employed against Puerto Castello was too small for the reduction of that place, in conse quence of which Commodore DANIELS was about to proceed to the United States in quest of supplies._... Subsequent letters have been received in London, an nouncing, that a considerable quantity of arms, clotL ing, naval stores, and a small naval force, has arrived. A very singular suit had been instituted against Mr. TOMPKINS, Vice-President of the United States, respecting the balance of an account of dis bursements during the late war. • The Vice-President examined the witnesses personally. Advices have been received from the city of Santo Domingo, dated May 7, mentioning that everything was tranquil there; but the Spanish inhabitants were emig. ating to the Main and Puerto Rico, being un able to brook the dominion of a Black Gooernmeat, and the irregularities of its Commanders and troops. The duties on imports and exports had been aug mented to 50 per cent. and the cutting of mahogany prohibited. A regular file of Papers from New South Wale; has been received, from which the following are extracts: !SOX VII SIDNEY saztrrs OT JANUARY 7. The cultivation and popui ,tion of the Se ttLlnents on Van Diemen's Land are both greatly increased since last year.

An Address has been prese ted to our new Governor, Sir THOMAS BILISRANE, congratulating him wt his safe arrival. This was presented by the inhabitants of the districts of the Ilawkes bury, to which his Escelltincy returned a most gracious answer. FROM THE TAPER OT rzs. 8.
