The reduction in the number of the Lords of the Admiralty mill La carried into elllxt by the removal or one of the three laj Lords and one gallant Admiral who has a seat at the I3Jard—to explain this would Le &lit:knit, if we did not kilow that the other two Icy Lords have seats in the Ilouse of Commons, and that the poor Admiral who goes to the right about, has no Parliamentary influence. The Special Sessions under the Insurrection Act oi;eatd at Cork on the Ist hunant, and at Liineridk the same day: On that and the following day 17 individuals were tiled at Limerick, sonic on in 3.ict ments for being " tumultuously and unlawfully aisembled," and others as being " idle and disor derly.' Thirteen were found guilty, and four ac quitted. Sumo of them who were found at a dis tance from home and apprehended with arms in their hands, were sentenced to seven years' transpor tation, mid sent off immediately to Cork, where they were to be secured on board the hulks until the transports are ready to convey them to Llutany TTIT: NATIONAL It7GISTEtt Bay. It is expected that this pt.:imputes; in carry ing the Insurrcction Act into force, will have at least a salatary etli2ct on many of the insurgents, and keep them at home at night, at which time the chief excesses are committed by the \Vhiteboys.— Outrages, however, still continue ; but not to the extent st.:ted in the Dublin Papers. Private letters mention, that some gentlemen's houses which were said to have been set on fire and destroyed, never \yore attacked, nor had they received the least injury whatever. Last week the premises of Mr. Parker, a respectable farmer near Tralce, were set fire to by a party of insurgents, and some cows perished in the flames. The following morning they were ex peditiously cut to pieces the wretched peasants, who carried off the. pieces for their consumption, and to tiflbrd sustenance to their famishing families. The Limerick Chronicle states, that on Friday last, about seven o'clock, Henry Sheban, conveying the mail from Rathkeale to Shangolden, and one escort of the 3d Light Dragoons, were fired at by some ruffians, who secreted themselves behind a hedge. Their shots, if the report is true, were too success ful, as the postman and his horse were killed, and the dragoon wounded ; after which the robbers took ofF the mail. The shots were heard by the Police, and a deta , :hment of the 42. l regiment, who repaired to the place. Several individuals were taken into custody, who, if not concerned in the murder, will be tried under the Insurrection Act. In the neigh limarhensl of Newmarket, in the County of Cork, the peasantry are giving up their arms, and return ing to a state of tranquiLity. Letters have been received from New Orleans to the 6th of January, by which we have the follow- ing: — ST. ANTONI.), DEC. 4,—Oa the night of the ;;t1 October, General Long, with 50 men, of all na tions, entered the town of Bahia, producing the greatest consternation by their horrid acts, (I hap pened to be there at the same time). They put to flight the sentinels, and took possession of the fort and artillery without opposition. As soon as intel ligence of this reached St. Antonio, the Governor dispatched Coloncl Ignato Paris, u ith 150 men, with orders :o retake the place, and make prisoners of Long and his party. He arrived near La Bahia, and sent to Long requesting to see him, to ascetain the cause of his visit. Long met him, and stated his &jut was to establish the independence of these provinces. Colonel Paris replied, that their lilac pendmce was already achieved, and not to give himself any further trouble, and demanded the giving up of the fort, Long would not give it up. At eleven o'clock (morning) Colonel Paris made the attack—a warm firing was kept up for 24 hours. Long's artillery did no execution, and he finally surrendered at discretion. Long and his party were brought prisoners to St. Antonio, and from thence were sent to Santillio, to take their trial, as robbers and pirates. On Thursday evening, a messenger from Franca arrived in the greatest haste with dispatches, which were delivered to Lord Londonderry while at dinner at Eellainy's. His Lordship, who had not swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, had no sooner made himself acquainted with their contents, than he rose from title in apparent agitation, and proceeded to his Lace. It is unnceLssary for us to offer any comment o. this circumstance. An official return to an Order of the House of Commons states the quantity of gold sent in to his I:!jesty's Mint from the Ist January 1815, to the Ist January, 182°2, at 41V,6981b5. sozs. 7drs. 19 gr„ins: value 19,283,3351.

A letter dated Puebla (kingdom of Mexico), Nov. 30, says—" This country, after having rapidly ef fected a revolution, is now exposed to the greater danger of internal discord. There exist three dis tinct parties, each solicitous to establish a different form of government. 'llia first seeks to establish a republic; the second an empire, governed by an European prince ; and the third an empire, with the General-in-Chief, Iturbide, at its head. Mean while, specie is extremely scarce, and the troops ill paid. The Provisimul Government has declared a free trade with all countries." A commissioner was sent out by government to New South Wales, in the latter end of 1819, or beginning of 18'20, in . cons,aptence Lf staternent4 transmitted home of mal-administration in that colony, in order to make an inspection into dr.: situation of aflitirs there, to point out abuses, and report on the best la2ans of correcting them. The gentleman had a salary assigned him, of 3,0001. per annum, and also carried out with him a secretary or assistant, whose remuneration was to be on a scale proportioned to that of his principal. What investigation these gentlemen cut.-red into, and wh,,t services they pertlAmed in the colony of New :".ar.ll Wales, are yet a secret to the public; and we be. lieve, also, to their employers. They returned to this country in the beginning of last year, but we cannot learn that the report, which was the object of their mission, and with which it was to have terminated, has yet found its way into tiny of the government offices. In the mean time, the salaries, both of principal and secretary, continue to increase the pressure of the public burdens. One would not insinuate that the retaining them as long as po , sibie has been the paramount motive of the parties; yet it is difficult to imagine such a list or abuses in N..!,v South Wales as should require twelve months to enumerate them, or even that a report on them might nut have been prepared on the voyage home. A requisition is now signing, to request the Lord Mayor to convene a meeting of the Livery of Lon don to consider the present distress of the country, and to petition for a reduction of the present griev ous burdens of taxation, and a reform in Parlia ment. _ • _ For some days past the frequenters of St. James's Park, have b.!en attract. d by an ingenious machine, which raises a very long ladder,without any support at the top, on which a man mounts ant stands, whilst he saws off the decayed branches of the lofty trees. Letters from Marseilles of the 214 h ult. state, that very fresh advices had been received from the principal ports in the Levant, that tranquillity Irtd been perfectly re-established, and hopes were enter tail • of a speedy arrangement between Russia and the Porte. His Majesty recently sent the Order of the Gar ter to the King of Denmark; this, it is said, was a prelude to the demand of his daughter Caroline, aged 29, in marriage. CAPTIME 01' A SMUGGLING CUTTER—The Agnes, of Flushing., a very line new cutter, armed Ihr the purpose of smuggling, was brought into Grimsby Roads on Friday last, by his Majesty's re venue cruizer Stag, Capt. Ferris, commanler. This vigilant officer, after a chase of four hours oil.. Whitby, succeeded, by superior management, in getting to windward of the prize, and coming within pistol shot, was on the eve of pouring in a broadside, when she struck. Iler crew consists of twenty-three men ; she has nine port-pules on each side, and her cargo originally consisted of fifteen hundred tubs of Geneva, the greater part of which she is supposed to have landed in the neighbourhood of the place where the Slag fell in company with her. After the capture, sixty-two tubs were picked up, having ben thrown overboard in the chase. The Lord Chancellor, on Thursda, morning, in the Court of Chancery, delivered his judgment in the matter of Howard and Gibbs, bankrupts. His Lordship declared that the present choice of assig nees could not stand, and that there must be a new election ; thereby confirming the judgment oh b.s Honour the Vice-Chancellor. Letters have been received, V;tl America, from Santiago, of the 11 th of February, stating that Guido was at present Governor of Calloa, and the the greatest tranquillity reigned at Lima. When the report reached that place of Contarae's approach funds to the amount of five or six hundred thousand dollars were embarked on board the shipping at Ancon. Lerd Cochrane had for some time teen making every exertion to endeavour to procure money fur paying off his sailors without avail ; upoa hearing the amount which was on board the (litre:- ent transports at Ancon, he went in the O'Higgins, and furcinly took possession of the whole sum, not withstanding strong representations limn the Geae ral, Ile immediately commenced paying off all the ships. Report says, he has nut dared to pot his foot on shore since. It is understood that the two junior Lords to be reduced are Admiral Hotham and Air K. Douglas. It is singular enough, that Ministers after what was said in the course of the debate on Friday night, should include a professional min in the reductii.n. The Hon. George Anson, one of the Members h r Yarmouth, was so severely hurt by a fall tii.rn his horse, a few weeks since, that the ni.:st str:uus fears thr his safety were entertained. We are hayFy to state, that he was so far recovered last week 84 . to be able to attend Parliament. He paired mad , with Lord Robert Manners in favour of Mr. Cal. craft's motion for the repeal of the Salt Tax. -~
