SIR.—I seed you the following particulars of the attack od outrage committed upon toe last night at the hour of twelve o'clock. by en armed banditti, some of whom broke open and entered my porter's lodge, at the gate of my avenue, and swore him to inform them of the quantity and particulars of the arms iu my bombe, and whether I would be likely to deliver them up quietly. The porter states he decliped giving them any in formation. but told them the army would not be given op ; whereupon they required him to give them a kettle. or any thing that would carry fire. lie denied haviiig any article that would suit their purpose. They then asked fur the steward's house, to whom they went, and from whom thee took lire, and posted sentinels on the doors of each of there men, commanding them. u they valued their lives, not to stir out of their houses. They then proceeded to a haggard in the rear of my dwelling louse, which contained upwards of sixty toes of bay, sixty ►egs of wheat in stand, sad 20 barrels of oats in steed, end ant all oa lire. They next attacked my dwelling-hoes:, with yells, shooting, en. whistling to the front sod rear, end at the same time demanding my a• ms, which I peremptorily refused, adding that I would only part with them with my life. They said that every geodeman in the country gave up their arms. gad that if 1 did not give op mine, they would burn my house and dices. sod • second haggard .f mine—one further re itioved then that which was on fire. They then assailed the minim** of my house with a mixed diaharge of ire-arms and •Woes, the time others of the party retire to the out nines, Oriole all which time a smart lire was kept up epos them by myself, M►. James Foot (my father), Mr. James Atkin (my broelier its law). sod a faithful surveet. ~. Thoottook emetitmed for about am hour, the banditti at is tenets demanding the arms. which was as repeatedly saswered by a discharge of arms from the house. I ant, however, sorry to say oar ire was without effect, except in one Wet:nice : during the conflict out man came to the end of the house with a Ilauitteou ; 1 fired at and mimed him : be then ran to the half dour with We Undies. and some straw, and attempted to set it on ire, when a shot from one of our party wounded him in the neck, as he WAS seen to Nagger away, aml was carried °IT by his comystique. who thereupon led.

In another wing, a lour-lior‘e stable and a cider-house, cootainiug fosrteea hog. sbesds of cider, and all the ilseelaakeuta necessary for ' , akin eider. Sir Hugh Gough, with a party of the 2241 regiment, from Mattevant, and Captain Heaviside, with a party of the b7th regiment, arrived about three b'cluek this meroine, but eider tonately too late to reader assn talloe. •• The whole low by 'this outrage may he estimated at from 1001. to 0001. I am. Sir, your very obedient servant, •• T. W. FOOTT." The dwelling of a farmer of time same of Donovan, near the residence of Richard O'Douovao, of DUIIeTWI ' S Cove, in the west of this costal, was foreiby entered on the night of the let inst. by a party eonsisting of five or six armed mew, with their faces blackened. Alter abusing Donovan for having lately takes a farm, they maltreated him and his wife in the meet Gruel manner, and afterwards robbed the house of 30/. sod property: We regret to add the man hes since died of his wounds, and but little hopes are entertained of his wife's re • covey. Oe the morning of Sunday last a notice was foond posted on the ohapel door of Cratioe, civatosoiog persons not to pay tithes we psia of death. - Oa the eight of Sunday last, the house of William Park, in the parish of Dram, county of Roscommon, was set on fire, and the iatersur of it consumed.

In addition to the oommusicatios whieb appeared in the'llfort treat Griae/le of the 17th ult. relative to the Arctic expedition, under the orders of Lieutenant Franklin, we ate haupy to be empowered urinate, upon the authority of more went arrivals that the expedition had arrived at York Frotory, in Hudson's bay, and was about to embark for England. It appears that the tuils'aud the sufferings of the expedition have been of the most trying description, and that if they do not exceed belief, they were at least of such suture as almost to overcome the stoutest heart, and deter all future attempts of a similar tendency. It was lilted out in the summer of 1819, and, in the course of Ills, following year, it was enabled by a liberal aid and reitifoircement from the North West Company, to advance to the shores of the Great Bear Lake, which we think, is situated in about 87 deg. north lat., where is encamped sad wintered. In the ensuing spring, it approached the Cop per Mine River, which it descended until it fell into the ocean. Hitherto the expedition was accompanied by Mr. Wintul, a clerk to the North West Company, with ten of their best hunters ; but the wide and open sea, which appeared at the con/thence of the river with the ocean, elated the expedition so much with the hope of ultimate success, that it was thought proper to dispense with the further attendance of Mr. Wint eel and his bunters, who accordingly returned op the river, leaving the expedition to proceed in two canoes to explore the coast of the Polar Sea; eastward from the month of the Cop per Mine River, towards Hudson's Bay: But it seems, that ie ereasequence of the approach of winter so early as the latter mid of August, heavy falls of snow, dense as mists, and as extremely hare sad ill-provided wardrobe, the expedition was unfortunately prevented from accomplishing its end, farther than exploring about 600 miles of the coast which lies to the north-east of the Copper Mine River, and ascertaining that, so far ea the eye could penetrate, the sea which lay before them was quite open and perfectly free of ice. As the expedition returned, its weals and its exigencies be came alarming in the extreme, and it anon required the whole fortitude of the heart, sod the utmost exertion of the frame, to heave the hardships which stared it in the face. In approach ing that part of the Comer Mine River from which it set eat, it was necessary to double an immense point of land, which would occupy a greater length of time than its emergencies would well of admit of, and it was therefore deemed necessary to set the canoes adrift, and cut a direct coarse over land to the Copper Mine River. When the travellers arrived on the basks of the river, they experienced acme puzzling difficulties bow to get woos, but basing killed ten elks, with the skins of which they contrived to construct a canoe, this hardship was soon overcome ; bet the joy which it diffused was as tran sient as disappointed hope. In forcing their melancholy way through the untravelled wilds between the Copper Mine River and the Great Bear Lake, they fell completely short of provi sions, and were for many days ender the necessity of subsist ing upon sea weeds. and a powder produced from pounding the withered home of the food which they bad already consumed. In this struggle between the love of life and the dread of a death that most be terrifying to all mankind, Mr. Wood, sine Canadian, and an Esquinies, fell untimely and reglietted victims ; and had not the survivors, who for several days were driven to the necesaity at prolonging a miserable existence by fee Bing upon the tattered remnants of their shoes, and we fear, upha a more forbidding and unpalatable fare, exerted them selves by s gaper-Imam effort to reach the Great Bear Lake, it is prultahle that they would have all suffered the most ex quisite and appalling martyrdom. Here they found the beads and the bleached bones of the animals dallied served them for lest winters provisions, which afforded them the melancholy ingredients for preserving the vital spark, anti( their arrival at some post belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company. It is said that upon the arrival of the surviving party of the expedition at Slave Lake, the Canadians there were very nigh breaking forth into some alarming ontrage when they foiled that their former comrades, instated of rotarniag with the expedition, had been lost for ever ; bet we understand that no aerials injury has transpired in consequence of this very natanddisappoinunent. It will be seen by the following article of intelligence from Lloyd's List of Thursday, that Lieutenant Franklin, mid the rest of tlw gentlemen composing the above expedition, have arrived safe " Yarmouth, Oct. 16. " Arrived in the roads the Prism of Wales, Hodson 's Bar ship, Davidson, fame York Factory, all well ; bmogbt bane Captain Franklin, Dr.Hiobardson, Lieutenant Beck, and the gentlemen comp osing singllte laud expedition for the purpose of discovering a north west passage, was landed at Strontium*. A gentleman also landed with despatcbes for the Company. DULL AT Navis.—A few weeks ago we noticed an unfortunate duel between Walter Maynard, Esq. President of the Council of Nevis, and John Higgins, Esq. in which the latter was killed. The trial of Mr. Maynard took place at Nevis an the 7th of August last. The defendant was first in indicted for murder, but the Greed Jury ignored the bill; whereupon an indictment fur manslaughter was framed, on which charge he was tried. The case excited considerable interest. Nearly all the inhabitants of Nevis. and many persons from the neighbouring islands, were assembled. Sixteen pre fessional gentlemen of Nevis attended. The prosecution was coodoeted by the Hon. John Woedley, Attorney-General ; the Hon. John Stephens, Solicitor-General, of Nevis ; and G. W. Mardeetwough, Erq. Sim St. Kitt's, and John Peterson, a q . K. C. of Nevis. For the defence. Messrs. bong, Warning, Woodcock, and' Smith, and Sidney Stephen, Esq. from St. Kitt's. The details of the evidence would not be of much in terest here. 111 will be recollected that the fatal contest was produced by certain offensi►e epithets applied by Mr. Maynard to the father of Mr. Buggies, for which an apology was de manded and refused. The trial lasted until past-ten o'clock at night, when the Jury, after sconsultatioe of about lire minutes, brought ia a verdict of Nut Guilty. The usembied crowd showed their approbation of the •erdict by kid cheers which continued several minutes. _ _ - ST. PAUL'S CAT/MORAL —Through the whole of the entitling winterois.

Mr. Willock re. plied that lie had no money les his hands, ands that hie Majesty must apply to his awn Minister, Abul Hussars Khan, who lied transacted the affair with the former Bri. fish representative. The Minister was sent to Mr. Wil. lock, to try to prevail upon him to advance the suns whirls the King itynirtd, bill Mr. W. unstated in saying that be could not snake any advance t spots which the King sent him a message. importing, that if lie did net pay the money, he would instantly eider his head to be struck off. Mr. W. only laughed at this threat, and replied, that the King deist not touch a hair of his bend, upon which his Persian Majesty directed that Mr. W. should lose his head if the money was not aivanced instantly. Mr. Wiliocb desired the Minister to give him obis message in writing, which, however, he declined doing, but permitted Mr.W, to put it down its his presence, tom lie might be certain of its accuracy. Mr. Willuck then declined that he should set off Ihr England 'lately, and report the whole affair to his Court. This so alarmed the King, that he changed Isis tone, and sent to otter the British represents. tire the highest honours and rewards it lie would remain, and bury the transaction in oblivion. Mr. W. indignantly rejected these Oilers, and instantly set off for England ;' —and, it is added, that his ceoduct has bees highly ap. plaided here. We mention this story to say that it is false from begin. ning to end. The true came of the misunderstanding between the two Courts arises, we rather think, from the non-payment of a subsidy, agreed open when is was con sidered necessary to detach Persia from the interest of France. then under the dominion of Bitonaparte.' and which the British resident refused to pay, become, as it is reported, the Persian troops were engaged in a MIN against our allies, the Turks.

Nothing, we conceive, would give more sans. fectiou to onr nsagnaninions ally, the Autocrat of Russia, and Head of the Holy Alliance, than a rupture between England and Persia, as is would completely throw the latter Power into his hands, the result of which wueld ira lOjtlflUUll IV our Eastern policy. PIRACY. &phis Briggs, of the schooner Alidgmil, sailed from X ant ra, Cuba, on the 40th day of August. Neat morning, of Key Rostain, saw a schooner which gave chase. When with in about • league, we prepared for acacia, all bends (11l me• and 8 boy.) being ready to defend the vessel to the last mo ment. At sun-set the chase filed again, when we took in sail, and every man was stationed at his post. She came up on our weather snorter. within pistol shot, hauled up her foresail, and fired three guns and musketry, without bailing ns. She appeared full of men. We conamencod a firing upon her, and in about an hoer shot away her fore yard and fore gait. She then ceased firing and bailed in Spanish, which we answered by telling of one character, and demanding to knew his i they made no reply. We commenced firing again—she fired another gun and stood of.

The mainsail had 46 abut holes tbroogh it. We must have killed • good assay of the crew. as we were so near as to hear their cries. Captain Todd, of Philadelphia, anived Xibera about the 22d ultimo from Commie, and stated that several piratical vessels were fitting out these, soder a mite named Mans, who swore vengeance against the Americans, and moat particularly against Lieutenant Stockton, of the Alligator, who burnt one of his vessels.

The public should understand, that, although if • man should not give money to the accused, he is equally guilty, as the law wisely makes it • felony, by the act of putting another in fear to extort money. Tkere is also another Act of Parliament, which, by its clauses, even protects those wretches who practice mach nameless offenoes front extortion ; one of the cl observes to this effect:—" Should a man be guilty of such • charge, and known, and to be seen in the guilty act, then ought the witness to come fo.-- - ' • • to justice ;" bat if that evidence or threaten to extort money, to they become guilty of capital &key, meat of death.
