,AND, . very extraoniinary circumstance, but to the truth of which, extraordinary as it is, we pledge ourselves, occurred lately in the principal Roman Catholic Chapel of Kil kenny. One of the Priests was delivering a sermon on the in tercession of the Virgin, when a young Priest, who was pre sent, stood up, and publicly contradicted the doctritte; exclaim ing to the preacher, that l►e was misleading the people, for that Christ was the only intt rcessor ; and warning the people tact to believe the doctrine which they then heard. Mach confusion, as might indeed have been expected, immediAely raose ; and the interrupter was seized and Iturlied into the Sacristy. At this strange scene tt;-Avareis of twelve hundrelftersons were present. —(The Patriot.) The E trl of Fingal and the Hon. Mr. Barnewell have been served by the Attorney-General with notices to •hew cause on the first day of next 'Ferm, why criminal information should not b filed against his Lordship. for presiunig at the C'tranty Meath Catholic Meeting; and against I`./!r. Barnewell for attending the Meeting ; and tor appointing delegates, contrary to the express words and meaning of the Convention Act R ECONC I lATION. " DUBLIN, OCT. 2.—T6 the confusion of the Faction, we re joice in Jtating, that the late difference's between the Limerick and Nottingham Regiments of Militia have been.hap:. , lly accom incxiateci. These Regiments met yeste• - day morning in Stei.hen's • green, and delighted every honest mind by their cordial reconct iit.tion. Durieg this gratifying scene, the Band of each Regi ment played the national tunes of the other. 'fills is as it should be—henteforth their wete:ons will be drawn only again , t the common enemy ; andthe faction who so brutally exulted in their Oissention, have now to mourn their re•uttion.-I.° l ay such tears be ever by the internal adversaries of Ireland; the Agents of her external foe !—( Patriot.) _ _ ig The inisunderstanding between two Of the battalions in this garrison, the Nottingham and Limerick city regitnenta . of mill.; tia, we have some reasons to believe, has fist been accurately stated either as to the cause of its occurrence, or as to its souse-' quences. It did not originate in any-pre-existing between those two fine corps, nor did it terminate as Was resorted. This we may venture to assert is the fact. The disagreement had its commencement out of the barracks, in some accidental contro vert), among a few individuals of each is ginietit, whom good fellowship had somewhat impaired in discretioe and under standing; and, unluckily, 'whilst deprived of these guar.lians, it was communicated to each regiment by their intemperate com rades; and adopted with very reprehensible heat by each battas tipn, without any inquiry into the circumstances. Under the ir ritation of the- moment therls no question but that each corps acted in a manner that violated every duty of a soldier, but-sell there was no sanguinary reseutrrent mixed up in the contest whilst it lasted, and it lasted too long for the reputation of those corps. It was more the consequence of a mistaken sensibility upon military pre-eminence, -which is always to be found in assos elated bisdies of men, whether armed or unarmed, than of any other consideration. Whilst We would vindicate those regi ments from the imputation of possessing any unworthy senti -ments of 'hostility towards each other, embarked as they are in the same cause, with the saute motives to enjoin both to an hum ble and faithful discharge of their public duty, .and with no less a stake than their common country to tight for, against the ene• 'my of mankind; .we cannot let the cireinnstatice pass, without that share of reprobation which the soldier incurs, who shakes off his suliardination to indulge his passions, and who puts more to the hazard in a moment ist licentiousness, than the services of his life could be a compensation far. It is nut so much in the mere transaCtion condemnable as it is, that the evil lies ; it is in its pbssible extenition among those corps who have each gene rously undertaken to - defenSt. the country of the other, 4nd who .may, by misrepresentation or exaggeration, ituagi •e insult or contempt, where neither had for a moninet the slightest exist ence. This is the.danger, which, added to a gross infraction of eLscipline, must, upon a moment's reilec:ion on the part of the •regimentt in question, hitherto so exemplary in conduct and in characters, show them - how much was committed to the lassie of their quarrel, and how necessary it is that their =niacin should be immediate, and their future cordiality sincere. It is no mat ter which might have been in error—nothing can justify the soldier in taking redress into his own hands. We have assumed the liberty of making these few remarks, which are suggested by an anxious wish, that our Military force in each kingdom should evince, by common goo&will. that they have no adversary hut . the tyrant that would enslave their country—that they Nita only for the preservation of the British Empire; and, we must say, with a great respect for what others may think, that if any of to presumes to an editorial censorship upon these occasions, our observations shouts be conciliatory, and without any predileC• • 642 I give you, Charles, the regiment of Loraine, which h vacant at 11? preient.

BERLIN, SEPT. 21 —The progress of the Emperor Napoleon towards the north leads us to fear, that the period of our ttan /trinity is on the eve of closing ; moreover, the French troops which occ. py our unfortunate country are kept in continual m vement, marching and countermarching, by which means it is etraliy impossible to ascertain their numbers or the point at which their main force is to be concentrated ; report estimates the former, including the Saxon and confederate troops, at 330,000 men. On our part, the desire is still for peace. and ef forts will yet be made to preserve it. Should we, I-iewever, he compelled to enter the field, it will be with the deter; r: illation to recover the independence of our country, or to perish in the conflict. WARSAW SEPT. .s%—His Royal Majesty our Duke is expect ed here on the 21st. The palace is putting in order fur his recep tion. It has been found necessary to have several hotels in the city, the apartments in the palace not being sufficient for the oc casion this time.--( Dagen, Sept. 20.) PANscowA, Arc. 19.—The last intelligence from Belgrade informs us that the bo-tian corps, assembled near Trawnuk and the Drina, have suddenly and entirely disappeared. The corps of 3000 men, which made an irrupti ,n into Servia. have also retired, dragging with them into slieve7 the inhabitants of the villages they had pillaged. We, in reality, know nothing of the directi in this corps has taken. All Serviais in a fright ; for if the Russians lose a battle, the fate of this province will be dreadful. - - Tht-y write from Orsowa, that all communication between Widdin and Nvw Orsowa has been interruptc:. for t!:rve weeks. 'rho corps of General Dais has been forced to quit l'imok, and is now encamped before Cladova. Tcn thousand Russians 7‘r, - ; on Mount Allan, upon the other side of the chain of mountains, and severalthuusatais of Russians have already arrived at Crap jowa. A renort has 'been general for some days that many strange Turks 'tad arrived at I.Vi , idin.—Yesterday similar intelligence, of gor , d atrhority, was received from Belgrade. It is therefore confirmed that Ismail Bey. of Serra, has arrived at Widdin, with a corps of from 25 to 30,000 men.—(4licille du Nord, Sept. 24.) IVLW ISLAND. RIX!INT4, SEPT..29.—Last evening his Majesty's ship Sabrina sailed from Torbay for Portsmouth. This is the ship that first ' discovered; in June last, the island that sprung up from the bot tom of the main ocean, about a league from St. Michael's, one of the Western Islands.—When first the Sabrina discovered this miracle, she thought, by the smoke ascending, it was two ships engaging, and made sail towards it till she discovered her mis take.; the sea round it was agitatd in a most wonderful man ner, and the water almost hot ; she sent her boat on shore on this new-found island, but found it smoking, and so excessive but they could not tarry ; they took possession of it, hoisted their colours, which they left flying there, and baptized the island after their ship's name, Sabrina. . It appears in some parts from 60 to 4r/) frost high above the surfacs of the water, and round it (which is about two miles lorg, and half a mile wide) is 40 fathoms of water; what is n ore sorpssing, there is a large creek or reservtir that leads into i i., t'ortn of a horse-shoe, sufficient to contain eiitlit or ten sail of the lit e, in which the water appeared as boiling. I have n snow of the soil, if you may so call it, or part of the lava that w. thrown up when the earthquake or eruption happened, and it Lese:rhlt s smith's cinders. I find from otie of the Olken who land .(1 ou it that abundance of fish were floating about the and qu.,ntities of fish bones lying scorched on the shore, where th,! sand appeared. No doubt, Goveriunentwill soon people and fortify it, as it will make an excellent place of ren drzvous for our shipping, 'and those who trade to tne Western Island , . I find some part of St. Michael's sunk at the tune, and the frighttd inhah - tan s would have left it if they could, when the ck ham): ned, as they thought their whole island would love thsappeared.
