THE NATIONAL A letter has been received from Corunna by a ves sel which left it on the 26th ult. It states, that part of the army under General ABADIA had advanced and taken possession of Benevente. The Lords of the Admiralty have lately addres sed a letter to Sir Henry Blackman and Son, of Le‘ , es, in answer to a representation made by them, and other merthants, of the depredations commit ted by the enemy's privateers in the Channel, on the Sussex coast, stating, that measures will be taken for secui ing the trade to the utmost degree practi cable." The following notice was this week posted at The four transports, with ammunt. Con, &c. which went up the Baltic a short time since, have returned with their cargoes, and sailed fr6m Wingo Sound with the fleet for England on the 23d ult." The Pope is said to have rejected all offers of conciliation made to him by Buonaparte. A serious disturbance took place between a regi ment of Irish militia and detachments of the Eng lish militia, quartered in the Royal Barracks. The particulars are not sufficiently authenticated at pre sent to receive publicity in The Dublin Evening Post, but there is one fact, of a very extraordinary nature, so currently reported as to remove all doubt, name ly, that 4.00 of the Irish actually opposed them selves to 1500 of the English militia. Happily the dissenticm is likely to subside, as the Irish have been removed to different quarters in the city. The Irish regiment is generally known by the cheering title of the " Garryowen Boys."—(D. E. Post, Oct. 1.) ' • We hope the statement contained in the preceding para graph is unfounded, or at least much exaggerated ; at all events, we trust, and are sure that the example will not be imitated— and that even the parties concerned in it will repent, and make mutual atonement, upon reflection. The Irish regiment alluded' to seems to be the Limerick city militia, now in garrison in Dublin—the same that •o gallantly repulsed the French under Humbert, at Coloony. Surely, those who so well employed !heir arms against the foreign invader, should not be the first to stain them in the blood of their English brethren; neither should their English brethren forget for a moment the title of this 11, , - roic band to the respect and love of every Briton who is a friend to his country. The cordial hospitality which was pas sing at this very time between the relatives of the Officers of this very regiment and the Officers of the Cardigan at Limerick, forms a pleasing contrast to this odious broil ; and is, we are sa tisfied, a more genuine specimen of the general feeling in both countries. Two British Officers, a Lieutenant-Colonel and a Captain, were killed lately in Portugal in a quarrel, with a Portuguese -Officer. The British are described as the aggressors. CATEATON-STR BF.
