Every arrival from Ireland gives the most decisive evidence that the storm of calamity and crime in that country has not been weathered, notwithstand ing the boast of the Lonv LIEUTENANT, as given in the Dublin Journal of Wednesday, that he.was proud be had steered the country through the danger r-- The counties of Cork, Limerick, and Waterford, in which outrages were last year so numerous, are again the scene of murders, robberies, and conflagrations, notwithstanding the numerous executions which have taken place in these counties. Last seahou the combination against the Tithe, System was principally confined to threatening noticest to Tithe Proctors and Clergymen, not to enforce it 6 but the Whiteboys no longer confine themselves to, such negative hostility ; the Tithe Corn is burned in' several places, sometimes by gangs, and sometimes, it is said, by the application of some chemical prep;- ration, introduced by individuals, which remains in the rick or corn-stack sufficient time before combustion takes place to enable the perpetrator to escape.— These are outrages which no person can justify', yet the peasantry of Ireland. have some cause of dis satisfaction, when, during the late dreadful famine, they have seen the Tithe Corn, the accumulation of years. rotting on the very spot where it has been collected. The LORD PRIMATE of IRELAND, in his Visitation held a few days ago at Armagh, with singular bad taste, to say no worse of it, said—" The right of the " Clergy to Tithes was enjoined by the Scripture of " GOD, and confirmed by the laws of man. The tithe " of the parish was as much the property of the inc es " bent as Me estate was of the landholder—nay, even " more so. By the various revolutions of war, and " the forfeitures consequent on rebellion, the soil had " often changed masters ; but in every mutation, the " property of the Church had been held inviolable." Now, without entering on the history of the Tithe System, the investigation of which would not be in favour of the worthy Primate's doctrine, and without objecting to the ample reward of the Clergy for which be contendi, we will observe, that the laws of GOD and man never intended that the grain and other produce, raised by the money and industry of the peasant" should be torn from their little landed patrimony, and hoarded up to rot, while that peasan try was perishing of hunger. The fact is, that the Tithe System, oppressive as it is in every kingdom, is ruinous in Ireland, where it is increased and enforced with a rigour that makes it as odious as it is oppressive. It does not merely take a tenth part of the amoral proddce of the soil, but a tenth of all that increased and artificial produce which capital and an improved knowledge of agri culture and industry raise: that is to say, the Clergy, according to the present system, have not only a tenth of the prpduce of the land, but, without contri butingbne farthing towards it, a tenth of allf the ad vantages and discoveries that science and experienci have beeen able to make, so far as regards agriculture: But to come to another subject, which, though kept out of sight by the LORD PRIMATE Of ALL IRELAND, he had most immediately in view, when he rind's-, cated Tithes, we mean Church Revenues in general, and particularly those immense sums which be and his brother Prelates draw from impoverished Ireland. His Grace refers to divine ordinances as enjoinlng the payment of Tithes; but be has not stated by what ordinances the large estates annexed to Epis copal Sees are claimed. Now Scripture is very ex plicit in informing us that those to whom the Tithe was given were expressly excluded from every other interest in the inheritance. A few passages, with which his Grace is no doubt well acquainted, will prove this : 4 , And the LORD spake unto AARON, thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel." Again,' s , But the Tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit : therefore, I have said unto them, among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance." His Grace cannot but be aware that the tribe of Lay' was minded in the par tition that was made in the land of Canaan, except as to theTitba Whatever authority mitiae drawn tbete fore, from the divine ordinances . * favour of litiast they cannot be referred to as affording ay in favour of other ecclesiastical property. . • But the Tithe System, injurious as it is in its effects, As, not th e only . evil Ireland at this dasestuans under., The system of goveriiment - ThITA • - ewer been one of coercion , rather that t a oh ; and, under that system, there are l so . many subordinate myrmidons of powerlo carry rt.lato after, that the People are entirely separated •fvolis shsir superiors, whom they consider rather as haksrtiskrmasters and oppressors, than friends and protestors. No attempt is made to reform the Irish peasantry by bettering their condition, or to bring them to a sense of duty, but by exercising the rigours of the law; and now that these have been carried 'to their- utmost extent without effect, we are at a lost tolits* what new expedient will be resorted to. • . The Insarecticui Act passed, and operates at this hour: yet the menaces and preparatives of insurrea Lion proceed as boldly as they did twelve months ago. The Hal,eas Corpus Act was suspended, and fount, practically useless : the army was increased, but di; Glared, by no less authority than the Duke of Wm,- unoron, an inadequate Instrument for maintaining the public tranquillity. What remains, then, to be tried? The new County-Police Act ! Unless the po lice be as numerous as an army, they will not succeed where the army has so often failed. There does, in deed, remain to be tried—that into which, since the Government bas not had the grace to enter volun tarily, it will at length be driven in mere despair—we mean a new system of national relief and conciliation. The Government and the grievances of Ireland can; not long exist together—one or the other must fall. In another part of our Paper will be found the , particulars of some dreadful outrages in Ireland, to which we have to add the following: Wurrinpor Araociuss....- 14 The following melancholy outrages' which have occurred in the put week, immediately in the neigh bourhood of Dowell, have been received from a correspondent on whose veracity we can rely, dated Saturday night.--Sunday night the haggard of Capt. FumsrA, of Landscape, was set on See and destroyed. Tuesday nights quantity of hay was burnt on the knits Mr. Hummer, of Fort William. Wednesday night a large bourn, the property of a - cubit farmer named Bretz :Kr, of Skabanagh, was burnt. Thursday night some tithe corn, left by Mr. Jost Sum% on the lands of Sycamore, within a mile of thii town, was demurred by in. Friday night two torn stacks, the property of a man named Foley, at Carrigreen, were also burnt ; two fuse brakes were fired the same night, in different directions, the reason of which is obvious. Whilst writing the above, the town basket in alarms, on the report of a Gentleman of veracity, who witnessed ten different fires in the neighbourhood of Castlepoke, and on the lands of New town, atc. This has since been ascertained to be the fact. AU these occurrences have been invariably reported Wore. nine o'clock at night, and many of them before eight. At tho boor of eight on Saturday night, three immense bets were seen from different situations in this town."—Dublin Journal. We have received the French Papers of Wednes day ; but their contents are not of much interest, either so far as relates to France or to other countries. A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburg announces that the judgment condemning Caron to (lead), had been confirmed by the Council of Revision of the Fifth Military Division. The heating of some causes relative to the•freedom of the Press, has been put off for eight days longer. The persons against whom charges of this nature stand, are one Gabes!, Desmazure, and Lecrivain, for selling treasonable prints. Dardonvitle, charged with publishing a work called " Solite Reflections on Trea son," has been accused of outrages and offences against the KING and Religion. Great changes have recently taken place in the Se cretaries of the Agents of Police at Paris ; nearly 20 have changed their quarters, and ten or twelve have received their dismissal. The Correctional Tribunal has condemned the Sitar Rickard, a dealer in herbs, in whose house had been found certain poisonous drugs, allowed to be sold only by druggists, to pay 1,500 francs. The intelligence respecting the Greeks in these Papers is favourable. Accounts from Trieste of the :11als of September state, that letters had been re 'teived at that place from Corfu. under date of the Ma of August (the latest yet had from that quarter), whirls confirmed the reports of the victories gained by the Greeks in the vicinity of Argos and Corinth This concurrent mass of testimony, coming at differ ent times and from so many various directions, would be deemed conclusive in any other case; but the in credulity of those who do not believe, because they do not wish, that the Greeks should have triumphed over the last mighty effort of the Porte to exterminate them as a people, is of no common kind. They can not deny that all the accounts published by their great Oracle, the Austrian Observer, relate to the particular period at which the irruption was made, and to the first advantages which it was impossible that a sur prise should not produce. They see that the most mysterious silence is maintained by that Journal with respect to the events which followed that period, when the Turks, having obtained a footing in the Morea, tried to extend their inroads, and met with heroic re sistance and ruinous discomfiture in every quarter. The intelligence from Spain, though two days I later than previously received, is not important. A Spanish courier, who left Madrid on the morn ing of the 21st, states that, at his departire the Capi tal enjoyed the most perfect tranquillity►, and the greatest activity existed in all branches of the Admi nistration, which rivalled one another in thci: :cal to I Lettersirenin Bayonne assett, that destntielf ad& nues imong Qatint Oilien l itelops.

L'Echo die Mai has published, and some Jour ash of Paris Have republished, A Spaniihnarrative, under the title of " A Dispatch, alidressed by the Coin mandant, Don Thomas Costa, to the Captain-General of the Army of the Faith," the object of which was to give an account of an attack on the town of MAS.. sauet, on August 28. It terminated in announcing that the French troops of the frontier cordon made three charges on the Militia of Massanet, who were pur suing a part of the troops commanded by Don COSTA. Gallicia has remained tranquil ; but the following letter has been received from Vigo, dated Sept. 9: a~lr . " On the demand of our Political Mid, supported by our Mi nister at the Court of Portugal, that Government has ordered to be expelled from its territory all Spaniards who have taken refuge there, after having conspired against the Constitutional System. It is in consequence of this measure that Pereira has returned with arms into our territory, and has surprised two weak detachments, one belonging to the Regiment of Burgos, and the other behinging to the mounted Custom-house officers ; he bas successively occupied Sajamonde and Redondela, the heights of which he covers.

The Austrian Observer, of the 23d ult. con tains the following intelligence: co: Yesterday Lord Strangford commenced his long determined journey to Vienna. More than two months ago he informed the Ministers of the Porte that be had received permission from his Court to go to Vienna about the time of the Congress ; and also. that *after the long and important conference of: Tolilin he would have left Constantinople, bad net the wish to complete several consitsissionsvelseequendyreeeited detained him. The intelligence which reached bins in the latter end of August made him, however, resolve no longer to postpone his journey. He applied to the Porte for a conference before be should set out+ Though this request involved some difficulty, on ac count of the proximity of the minor Festival of Bairem, a conference with the Reis Effendi was nevertheless fixed for the 27th, the day before the commencement of the festival—a courtesy which Lord Strangford accepted as a mark of personal regard shewn to him self. Shortly before the period of his departure he received the melancholy intelligence of the death of the Marquis of Londonderry ; but, much as this event affected him, he would not alter his determination. —He assured the Ottoman Ministry that his absence would be of very short duration. lie hoped to arrive at Vienna between the 20th and 24th of the present month. Lord Strangford's last conferences with the Reis Effendi were highly important ; and in the detailed report drawn up by him, contains the most instructive information respecting the events of the present moment, the situation of the Turkish empire, the rela tions of the Porte with the Powers of Europe, and a number of other subjects on which the most per verted and unreasonable ideas appear to prevail in foreign countries. Within the last week the Greeks who are here have been again occupied with rumours of victories. They speak of the return of the insurgent Senate to Argos, of great defeats sustained by the Turks in the Morea, &c. Of. these events, however, we have as little in formation from any credible source as we forinitly had four weeks previously of the fabricated battle of Thermopylw. We only know this much—that the Turkish Government considers the conquest of the Morea as completed, and manifest this conviction not only by their declarations but by their measures.:— They rely also not a little on the farther consequences of the system of moderation which has hitherto with great prudence been followed by Cbourscbid Pacha.' Orders are daily transmitted to him to spare no tabour and no sacrifice if he can thereby avoid the farther shedding of blood. The Minister also seizes every I opportunity which presents itself to represent..to the foreign Ambassadors that to follow this coarse is the great object of their endeavours, and the earnest wish of the Sultan. On the LOth a considerable train of artillery, with a large supply of ammunition, departed for Er:engin. In that quarter the Persians have recently obtained considerable advantages over the Turkish troops, commanded by Jelaladdin Pacha. These advantages . are the consequence of the defection of Selim Paha, a Kurdish rebel, who, on the condition of receiving pardon, had ptornised to join the Turkish army „ ma, but abe t butted of fuliliathis west over to ib.

Thirty per• sons who had been concerned in the revolution of 1820 have been condemned to death, and thirteen. to 25 years imprisonment.

' The Piedmoniese Gazette contains an Ordonnanee of CnAntes FELIX for the regulation of the studious youth of his dominions. The students of Turn, it will be remembered, were zealous partisans of the Constitution of 1821, and mainly instrumental in bringing about the revolutionary explosion. For this the University of Twin v►as dissolved, and its fine building converted into A stable for the horses of the Royalist troops. Like the Army, it has now been refOrmed, and, together with the other seminaries of the kingdom, placed under an Institute that would have suited any century from the Bth to the 15th, and no other. All education is subjected to the Priests. The students are condemned to a surveillant. e, as constant and more galling than that of galley slaves. They are directed in what houses they must lodge, what Church they must attend, what religious exercises they must perform. If these restrictions on the spirits of youth _do not please the High Allies, they: iseglirviety fastidious indeed !

After a morning unusually dark and hazy, the Sun broke forth in unclouded splendour; and for several hours revived all the heat and Flory Of &miner. In the evening, a thin whitish veal en veloped the sky, through which dazzling, and almost lincessant flashes of lightning played with harmless brilliancy unaccompanied with thunder. This Mag nificent display lasted till the Moon with an attendant planet (Jupiter) resumed their thrones in the heavens and shed a milder but not less beautiful light.
