PAR's, FF.a. 16.—Letters from Palermo, cf the 14th and 23d January, speak in obscuie terms of a conseiracy, the object of which was to deliver all persons smidemned for political and other offences teumlwison, and renew the commotions of lust year. The military authorities discovered the plot, and a great many arrests have taken place, amongst them arc a few men of distinction. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Fri day, after some additional articles and amendments had been rejected, the Chamber proceeded to the discussion of the 4th article of the law of the Jour nals, which is stated in the following terms:—" If, in the interval of the Sessions of the Chambers, cir cumstances of a serious nature should render the established measures of security and repression in sufficient for the time, the laws of the 31st March, 1820, and 26th July, 1821, shall be again put in face, by virtue of an ordinance from the King, coun tersigned by three Ministers.'' An amendment was proposed by Gen. Foy, which produced a warm de bate, and the Chamber adjourned without coining to the vote. Pants, Fes. 19.—The account of the election of the Abbe de Pradt, as Deputy for the Depart ment of lb is incorrect: 120 votes are re quired tor the majority. M. Mondre, the royalist candidate, had 119 votes, de Pradt, 168.

The-Russians s. em to be quite tens quil in llesurabia e ssebile the Turks make marches and counter marches, which arc of no in"; ortance, but much harass the inhabitants. They are putting their fortresses on the Danube i the must respectable state of defence —Many European engineers (said to be English) have lately :arrived from Constantinople, and direct ail the works. There is no appearance of a speedy evacu ation of the principalities. C:.RFU, JAN. 2.—The conduct of our masters shows more and more their partiality in favour of the 'lurks. Nut contented with having manifested it by closing up by their Police all the channels by which we might receive information of what is pass ing in Greece, they make war by anticipation against Russia. The Ccteall-General of that Power at Smyrna, being obliged to quit his post to escape assassination, bud taken refuge at Cmgo, with the persons belongini , to his office, wheru he lived strictly watched by the police. He hoped that time would bring some relaxation of this strictness, end he had permitted his first. Dragoman to go to Zante, where his wife and children had tasen refuge on the burning of Patois. This officer thought the wished fir moment was at hand when he should jo u his falsity; but on arriving at the health office, he received orders to re-emb Irk and to depart within a cert..in time. In vain he alleged his char ,cter and the righ:s of outlet's. A deaf ear vas turned to his remenstrances, and he was obliged to depart. Since that time the Governor has given notice to the Con sul-General of thc Emperor Alexaider, to his Le gathin, said all Russian subjects, to quit the lonian Wanda. It is imagined, that all those expatriated iadividuaLs, most of whom arc in very unfortunate circumstances, are going to embark tor Italy. Cons u, JAN. ;22.—Letters from the Moreaof the 9th of January, say that the Central Government of the Greeks has sustained itself at Argos. The Provisional Commission of Government is composed of six Ecclesiastics and six secular members.— Prince Kurudba, formerly Hospadar of Wallachia, who has resided for some years at Pisa, in Italy, is stained President, and his son-in-law, Prince M. Suite°, who i. expected frum Russia, Vice-Presi dent. A vessel is sent to Leghorn to take them on beard. Prince Centactizetio is sent to Russia, other persons to other Courts of Europe to implore their ur at least their neutrulity.

The public are already informed, that thc Heta ritts assembled in Beasarabia, have been sent into the interior of Russia since the departure of Prince Sucre. They are now cantoned on the left bank of the Dniester. This measure at first excited great surprise, but Oen the arrest of the !Walachian Cluefi, Pen&Nut, ,Basil Rules, Georgina Maras, Soufas, and /Certifies, was known, all the Greeks rejoiced at it, because all there chiefs now arrested were fomerly instigators of the troubles in Walachia, acid the companions of Suva, who, by his treachery, sacrificed the unfortunate Prinde . Alex. Ypsilanti and the sacred cohort. They are the men upon whom A. Ypsilaati, in 'his well known proclama tion, invoked the vengeance of Heaven, the con tempt of mankind, &c. It might have been thought, that after so many misfortunes brought down upon the Greeks, these men would have refrained from new plots; but it is generally affirmed that they had secret connec tions with the Turks, which were discovered by the Russian authorities. We have news from Jassy of the day before yes terday. The excesses of _the Ottoman troops had not &eased a moment. Saudi Paella, whose head quarters arc at Fockaany, did nothing to restrain them. Aunto, Fee 6.—lt is said that Bayonne is the rallying point for the forces which are to effect a counter-revolution in Spain. General Quesatla, it is said, is organizing a corps of Royalists in that city. The French General Rogniat, immediately after his arrivabot Bayonne, gave orders to the troops in that city to adVairce - to the frontiers, and announced that several regiments were making forced marches to reinforce the cordon. This intelligence spread consternation amongst the directors of the revolu tion, and inspired the Royalists with joy. The Cure Guesala, of Bilbua, has taken refuge in France. Our letters annouace that he is at Bayonne. Complaints are made here of the recep tion which our refugees met with beyond the Py renees. It is said, that a Russian gentleman, be longing to the embassy at Paris, M. has proceeded to Bayonne, where arc also M. Rouquette and M. Let:lila/an, charged with a private mission. The presence of those travellers on our frontiers is the object of various conjectures. An article from Kischenow, in Bessarabia, dated the Bth ult. issys—" The Russian army is conceo trating more and more in this province. All the military movements which have tAen place this month, indicate that we shall soon ace hostilities commence. It is impossible to imagine the ardour with which the troops, from the private to the su perior officer, are animated. All are impatient to tree the Pruth. The atrocities and insults commit ted by the Turks on the Christians of the Greek Church, which is that of the Russians, are consider ed as if committed against themselves. Indepen dent of the Russian troops, there are about 10,000 Greeks here, who, in the event of war, arc promised to be formed into a Greek phalanx :9 IRELAND. -...-- BELFAar, FEa. I s. —We brave received accounts stating, that the Riiibusimen and weir le.i.lers have mile to a determination to suspend their annual opcuitions of marching, and parading on the 17th of March, in conse quence of the apparent inclination of his Majesty's Go eminent in Ireland to discourage every association opposed to them.

MI these men are of a class, far above those who have beet' usually found implicated in the miserable which now pervades the country. They were men in easy circumstances and holders of large farms. They were all brought forward this day to uto comity gaol, in two carriages, under a moue escort of dragoolis. The gaol is now excessively crowded.

Mr. %Valles, and Vol. Sir H. Gough, with a party of the etdd regiment, marched from Mill street to the parish of Kilcummain, where they appre licioled eight men, charged with the murder ofßrereton, the itiatl.coach agent. One of these fellows has made impoitant disclosures, and the wretches will soon be he brought to justice. The special commission will open out Friday next. From Kerry we learn, that the spirit of outrage has rather increased. The search fur amts is incessatit.— Large bodies assemble in the very skirts of Tralec.—The Kerry Paper says—" From all the communications which have reached our office up to the present day, we are bound to state, that the disaffected have been most active in their ploceedi rgs during the last week, and that the present aspect of the country demands the most prompt attention of the magistrates, the gentry, and the government." The neighbourhood of Killorglin is in a very disturbed state. The house of a yeoman was burned to the A man of the name of Healy. at Deerpark-gste. was de prived of a gun fast week.

Government has at length resolve( to terminate all the commercial difficulties which have fir mane time subsisted between this country and the United States of Notch America. Instructions have actually, as we understand, been scut to the several West India Islanes that the ports should be opened immediately to the direct trade of the United States, upon the principles of reciprocity proposed by the American Government. By this arr rigcment the United States are permitted to send their lumber and provisions in American bottoms direct to our co l o nies, and are authorised to take in exchange colonial produce. I'his arrangement w ill, it is hoped, be productive of very extensive advantages • to our colonists. The same trade may have been and, in fact, Las for some time been carricl on be tween the United States and the British colonies through the medium of Bermuda, which was erected - into a free port for the express purposes of tkis commerce; but it was so very circuitous, and at tended with so much expense,,that neither party could derive such service from it as from its nature might have Lirly anticipated.—We rep et to -- say that the extreme distress of our Vest ii ; ;14 1 - 91•- ••' Colonies requires every effrt that can b.; made Lir their relief. To compare their condition with that even of our distressed agriculturists, would but in adequately express their suffaings, and, as the arrangement to which we have now refeired has been anxiously sought by them, as the only means likely to relieve than front a destruction which seemed otherwise inevitable. ~- __ ~-~ • to- • • • • • • • A I ~~
