The Russian subjects wh•• have taken refuge in the lonianlsles a re thc object ef thestrictestsuperintendence of the Local Authol ides. Some day all will be known; end there is no doubt but that the EiMperor Alexan ,dir will extend to them his benevolent and paternal tegard.-11)e siege of Patras still continues : the Creeks are occupied in making mines, and it is pro bable that a subterraneous explosion will deliver the Peloponnesus from the presence of the Turks, who mow occupy no strong place but this in Achaia. We have seen a private letter from Leipzic, of the 25th ult. brought by the Mail of Saturday, in which the writer says— ,, Everybody here is looking for war, as the GRAND SULTAN is dead." That is, as we un derstand it, the war party at Constantinople is ex pected to carry its point, the SULTAN being now out of the way. Whether the alleged death of the SUL TAX rests on any new accounts received at Leipzic, or on. the same rumour that reached this country a few days ago, we have not the means of ascertaining. is reported on 'Change this morning, that Go mein have received dispatches from Lord STRANG• Ft:1(1), at Constantinople, of the 70th of December, hid, state, that the point of the Russian ultimatum, xvi.ich had so long occupied the consideration of the Pore, had been acceded to ; and the question of war cr peace, by this concesion, it is hoped will now be at test.

S.—Amidst the many melancholy representations to which the late tremeudotts weather has given rise, we have to record an instance of providential succour and protection, such as has seldom occurred within our recollection. 'the Rus sian brig Ales, on h-r voyage from London to St. Übes, in bal last, was driven upon a reef of rocks near the Casketts, on the night of the Veda ult. and in the space of an hour went to pieces. Tile crew, consisting of the Captain and thirteen seamen, clung to the quarter-deck (being the most substantial part left of the wreck), upon which they remained exposed to the dithger at the elements for a period of five days and nights, during which they kept theists4ves from starvatiun by a small bag of dried peas, .~ ~•••• ^r ~,.~:■.* 'Which awl Merit & and of which each of their re-' calved his portion at thf rate of 20 per day ally. Two of ti poor fellows, worn out by fatigue and buffering, died od the third day, and the survivors expected either the same lingeting fate, or that seem mdstiess wave would, in ono moment, sweep them from the wreck, and consign them to a watery grave. Callous, indeed, to every feeling of humanity, must those wretches have howls who could see their fellow-creatures in this awful situation, and not attempt to extricate them : and yet, with the de-pest indignation we bear, that a vessel passed them within hail, on Christmas-day, when the weather was comparatively moderate. and refused them the slightest assistance. The floating planks were at length thrown no the back of this Wand during the night of Saturday last; and the cries of the poor sufferers being heard by persons can the look-out in the Preventive Service. Lieutenant Joon, R. N. with the promptitude and courage of a true British sailor, hastened to their relief; and, after many hagardous at tempts, succeeded to rescuing 12 of this wretched crew from the frightful destiny which seemed to await them.—The Highland Lad, for the West Indies, with troops ) , logging out of harbour, got on shore, and still remains there.

Sunday night, an armed band burst into the house of P. Gorman, near the Commons of Rathkea!e, and barbarou,ly mur dered him. His father, an old man, ivat desperately wounded by the ruffians. This horrible outrage was committed near the spot where Mr. GOING was assas sinated. We lately recorded the cruel murder of a man named SLACK, at Cratloe-wood, in the county of Limerick, on Christ alas-day. The death of this victim, it appears, could not satiate the vengeance of the banditti, and oa Monday night they levelled his wretched cabin with the ground. In the neighbout hood of llimdon, ten houses hate been plundered of arms. A man named Grady was lodged in gaol on Mon day last, accused of being concerned in burning the SHIM family, in the county of Tipperary. The pistols taken froth the postboy, on the road from Limerick to Bruff, were returned to T. GRADY, Esq. of Grange. Three stand of arms were also given up to Major MACLAINE, of the 42d, at Shana golden, on Monday last. On the 30th ult. Major WA RBURTON'S Police had a contest with the banditti at Roan, county of Claret About 200, of which 50 were mounted, assembled for the purpose of demanding arms, and with the view of carrying off cattle and other' property, to hevade distraining for rent.

On the nights of the 22ciancli8ci of December se veral houses within three or four miles of Bandon, in the Pari,h of Temple Marlin, were attacked and robbed of arms in the most daring and systematic manrer. Thursday night last, a large Meeting of these mis guided men was held at Quarry's Cron, near the Commons Mountain, four miles north cf Bandon, where they divided inta three parties, each taking a different direction. One of them proceeded to the house of a man name 4 Fleming, at a place called Knocknanirk, about two miles from where they had originally met, and beat him most unmercifully. The Kilkenny Moderator of Tuesday contains the following account of a rencontre between the military and the insurgents in the county of Limerick : " A letter was received in'this city yesterday from Rathkeale, stating, that a detachment of the 42d Royal Highlanders, lately quartered here, came up a few nights since with a large body of the insurgent peasantry in the vicinity of that town, when. an engagement took place. The latter were defeated with the lost of five killed and seventeen wounded. Not one of the military, we are happy to say, was wounded in the action, of which we shall probably be able to communicate ample particulars in our next. This is the first engagement which has taken place be tween the King's troops and the peasantry in this still disturbed quarter of' the country, and its result will probably strike n wholesome terror into those infatuated marauders who hate so long been able to c..nduct their schemes of murder and spoliation without any effective check." EXECUTION OF FIVE MEN FOIL WHITEBOTISg. Monday morning, at six o'clock, Thomas Kelly, Michael Kiely, Timothy Shea, John Histon, and John Mullane, who were convicted at the Commission. of offences under the Whiteboy Act, and ordered for execution, were taken from the County Jail on cars, to Newcastle, to undergo the awful sentence of the law. They arrived at the place of execution, a field of Mr. HARTNETT'S, near Newcastle, a little after two o'clock. When the platform was erected, the un fortunate men ascended, attended by their Clergy, who, having previously afforded them spiritual con solation, individually exhorted them to make open, free, and full confessions, to the surrounding spec tators, and to warn them against the awful delusions which had brought so fatal a result before their eyes. After the unfortunate men had severally addressed the populace, whose number might be estimated at about 1500 only, The Rev. Mr. FITZGERALD, in the most solemn manner, exhorted the people upon the awful examples then about to take place—five human beings stand ing on the hi ink of eternity, brought to that igno minious scaffold by the vile counsel of those whose mandates they have fulfilled; and perhaps some of those very persons who have thus immolated their fellow mortals at the slain() of vicious purposes, are at this moment, silent spectators of those miserable victims. If such ate present, what must be their feelings, what reparation could they make to an of fended GOD, and to upright laws so violently out raged ? Let them retrace their steps—let them give up their arms—let them bow with humility to the offended laws; laws which are calculated to puriue and punish the offender, and also to pardon the re turning prodigal. Where are the mad conspirators? where are those who set the laws at defiance ? in whom, perhaps, the unfortunate men before you have more than once glorified in their growing strength Where are their associates now, who revelled in crime? Not one of them dare shew their heads—and there are their victims. Turn from your evil ways, or that mt.s. be your fate also. The Right Hon. WILLIAM CONYNGIIAM PLUNKETT has been appointed his Majesty's Attorney-General for Ireland. The Right Hon. WILLIAM SAURIN (now Attorney 7 General), for the present, retires from office.

CORN BACHANCR, JAN. 7.—The 'arrivals of all Grain last week were very large, and we had considesisble sup plies fresh in this morning from Essex, gent, and Sufielk, yet prime Wheat sold from 2s. to 3e. per quarter higher than last Monday, the quantity of that description being small lit com parison with that of inferior quality, upon,whiels there is no imp provement in prices, but the sale of it was rather brisker than it has been for some time past, although the arrival of Flour freest the coast has been immense. Fine Malting Barley is ls. per quarter dearer, hut the stained and inferior sorts are unsaleable* Beans are Is. higher, and fine sampks of old were in demand at that advance. The supply of Oats within these last few days has been very considerable, but fine fresh Corn fully supports last week's priets. &aril YIELD Blamer", SAL 7. —Currency of this morning :- -Meet', 2s. 6,1." to 3s. 104. per stone of Sibs.; Mutton, Sts. 64, to 3s. 84.
