MI r - - ~. - _ DISTURBED DISTRICTS IN IRELAND. FRESII OUTRAGES. tfROM THS LIMERICK CHRONICLE.] GIMMICK. WEDWZSDAT. Nov. 15.—Such was the influence of the appeal of the Rev. Dr. Hogan to the m,ral feelings of the multitude who attended his Chapel on Sunday last s that every countenance seemed horror cricket at -.the awful terror* which the Laws cirtod and man marked out for Such lawless and de- prayed pursuits, and the greater number of the con • -greetion were .I:observed to remain in the Chapel, to less the word of Ood anew, and implore 'his protec , lion and aid against the evil seductions of the present times. The Chief Peace Officer stationed at Castle Connell, and all the detachments under his command, passed through this eity, this day for Rathkeale ; and the en tire of the County Establishment were inspected in that town by their Chief Magistrate, Richard Wil-. (*eke, Esq. who assumed the command on Satotrday. This week detachments of the 6th Enniskilleners are to arrive at Kilmellock, Bruff, Ballyporeen, Mit ebelatown, Monorail., Pallisgrane, and Emly. Par . this are also to be stationed at Caller, and in the towns of Tipperary and Clogheeo. On Sunday night, a piquet of the 33d Regiment, in patroling the roads in the neighbourhood of Butte vent, fell in with a body of men whom they dispersed, but succeeded in taking six of them prisoners. They were brought to the bai racks of that town, and under went an examination on Monday, before the Magis trates. _ _ _ _ On Sunday, Cnptain Gunn and thirty of the 93d Highlanders marched from hence for Bruff, to replace u detachment of the 33d, ordered to Butte ant, from whence they will proceed to Cove, to embark for the West ladies, on the arrival of the 15th Foot from Ports mouth. At two o'clock, yesterday morning, Milford-house. within one mile and a half of this city, on the Dublin road, was visited by an armed banditti, who dashed in the lowersashes of two windows, and with sledges attempted to break the hall-door—the family being aroused from sleep, the ruffians were asked what they wanted ? They answered, tire-arms ;" and being in formed that there was but a fowling-piece in the house, they required it in a peremptory manner. Mr. Mann sell not being prepared to resist them, the gun was handed out. After consulting each other for ten minutes. they returned and required more arms ; but on Mrs. Mattnsell assuring them there were no more, they retired 6ring shnti. The party was numerous; those outside the hall exceeded thirty, well armed With either casakets or blunderbusses, exclusive of a vast number in the demesne. Extract of a letter received at our office from a gen tleman residing at Killlynn parish, in this county : An armed party, consisting of about thirty men, most of whom were mounted, attacked the houses of sic respectable farmers, and took their arms, to the amount of eleven stand. From the route taken by the barrlitti, after they had finished their depredations, it is supposed they came front the West of the County. In this opinion I am inclined to concur, from the peace able disposition and general good conduct of the inba bitunta of this parish. lam confident that the peace of this immediate neighbourhood would be fully preserved, were a few eekkiegt.Or policemen stationed in the village of Ballyorgan. The village of liallyorgan is situated close to the high road to Fermoy, seven miles south of Kilmalldile?"There is not a Magistrate, Policeman, or Soldier, netieer than three miles." On Sailaf night, nearly eighty men, uncommonly well utosated. attacked the houses of John Speering, Millet, sail William Davis, at Beabus, within a short dis tance of .%dare, in search of fire-arms, and succeeded in • getting two guns. The villains demolished the windows and doors, and, on retiring fired several shots. On Sunday night, a large party, supposed to he the same, attacked the house of John Rose, Esq. at iiratisrd, near Adm.,. and demanded his arms. Mr. Rose said he would not give them but with his life. They offered to leave his own double-barrelled gun, provided he would give them a single gun and a blue deriniss, which they knew he had in his house. Oa finding him determined to resist, they retired, after firiWg two shots into the house, and breaking all the windows and several of the doors. The house ef Bartholomew Gibbingb, Esq. of Gib hingsgrove, was attacked un Sunday night last, by a large party of marauders, who broke the WI-door with a sledge and pick-axe, and fired several shots into the windows. They were, however, most gal lantly repulsed, and driven off in great confusion, leaving behind them a sledge, a pick-axe and spear, antrblood was found in large drops near the Louse. A brisk fire sae kept up from the I ouse by Mr. Gib bing, and his party, which must have done execution. Contributions were levied by the party which at tacked Mr.'Orady, of Doringstown, on Sunday night, (as stated is oar last,) on several houses where they did not find arms, and they paraded in great numbers near tile town of Ki!finnan. .(In Sunday night, the house of Thomas Hill, Esq. of Itallyhotietheidgb, in this County, was broken open, and some guns taken. WU, house of Mr. Martin Feore, of Ballyhught, was • ala attacked by the same party on Sunday night, and two guns taken from Lim. The following Farmers' Louses in the same neigh hmartined were also attacked on Sunday night:--Patnek Ithretes, Michael M'Aulirs. Patrick Oleeson's, and three others. whose- names we have not yet learned ; from inch us had not arms, money was demanded to par chile ammunition : this, in some instances, was gladly ac- Ceded to by the owners, and where the money was banded to them to any extent, it was immediately returned by the marauders, who stated, that in order to make the coutrihntion equal, they had agreed that the demand should not exceed a sovereign at every house. On Sunday night, the house of btr. James Hill. at &algae; was attacked, and some fire arms take.. Mr. brahy's house. at Sappleton. was likewise snak ed, and two gulls obtained. • Several Headmen in this County have detachments of Police and Military stationed in their bosses. to resist the expected visits from the rightly maunders.

Timer, Nov. 14—We are sorry to Understand that some houses in the neighbourhood of Castle-island were last night visited in search of arms. We shall be exceedingly glad to hear that every active step which the occasion calls for will continue to by used by the Magistrates and Gentlemen of that neighbourhood, to dissuade any misguided chavscters from participating in this lawless system, which is at tended by so many miseries to themselves abd We are happy to say that the wise affectionate measures pursued by the Magistrates and gentlemen in the vici nity of Tarbert and bistowell, and the excellent admonition to the peasantry which has been printed and circulated among them, has preserved that district of the County from the slighest symptom of insubor dination. On the night of Monday last, the sth inst. a gang of Ruffians broke into the house of Lieutenant Mo riarty, it. N. at Dankerron, in this County, with intent to commit a robbery, and had collected considerable booty before it was perceived they had entered the house. Mr. and Mrs. Moriarty were not at home on that night, and Lieut. Nott, R. N. who was then on a visit with his brother Officer, was the first who heard the plunderers at work. lie immediately ruse from his bed, called the servants, and proceeded to the head of the stairs, called oat, What are ye doing there, ye villains ?" the answer was a shot from one of the rob bers in the ball, which providentially missed him. Lieut. Nott, armed only with a dirk, immediately rushed upon the ruffian who fired, and stabbed him, the dirk entering about 4 inches in his breast- the felfow groaned deeply and staggered out of the house. At this moment the Lieutenant heard a great bustle in the par lour, and supposing he would he surrounded and over powered, drew back, when the fellows getting. out by the parl , .ur windows, fled in all directions, leaving •in their fright, outside tile house, all the plunder they had collected—silver spoons, house linen, and various other articles, the panic-struck ruffians having enough to do to carry off their wounded associate. Informa tion of this ou'rage having, on the following day, reached Richard Mahony, Esq. Captain of ►he ken mare corps of yeomanry, this gentleman, accompanied by Richard P. Mahony, Esq. a sligistrate of this county, and the Rev. Denis Mabony, immediately called out his corps, divided them into four parties, one of which he headed himself, and searched the country closely, to a great extent, (having also dis patched a party through the mountains) but, we are sorry to say, without effect. Mr. Mahony and his corps have also, on many occasions, been extremely active in preventing and suppressing the pernicious system of smuggling which now prevails in this county. DISTURBANCES IN CORK. (PROM TIM CORK CHRONICLE.) CORK, Nov. 14.—We really lament to be obliged, a the performance of an important duty, to annouts ___ the extension of the outrages to the North-Westei part of our own, which so recently afflicted, and which yet, it appears, does partially afflict a neigh bouring County. Intelligence was brought to this City by the mail coach which arrived last night, that the houses of the High Sheriff of this County, Beam! Barry, near Glanworth : Captain Collis, near Fernsoy ; and George Montgomery, Esq. near Mitchelstown, have been attacked. and the Proprietors deprived of their arms. We cannot trace any foundation foe intelligence other than what we have mentioned abate; but still it is so confidently stated, and so widely cir culated. that we can do no other than give it to the public. however unwilling we may be to give currency to every idle rumour or groundless alarm, that may be set afloat for interested purposes. These lawless pro ceedings, together with the others which we stated in our last, and more that we have to record in this even ing's publication, are of too heinous a character, and are too generally extended, not to demand the moat prompt and efficient measures to put them down. Let a County Meeting be called, let the danger be met man fully, and. at the same time, inquisitorially, and let us not be the victims of incendiaries on one hand, or the dupes of designing and interested individuals on the other. There is one thing which we are assured of, that there is nothing of political tendency, or of an hos tility aimed at the State, In these nocturnal outrages.— , The evils, such as they are—and we, by no means, wish to palliate them—arise, we presume, from some local and partial incitements. At all events no great incon venience can proceed from having a County Meeting, at which all the Magistrates in it ought to attend, and the best remedy for meeting the exigence can be discussed, and, no doubt. such measures will be adopted as afford the best chance of preventing a continuance of these proceedings, even though such a Meeting may not be qualified to inquire into, or remove the causes, if say exist. (MOM TUB CORK INTBLLIBIINCER.) One private communications enable us to state, that the Magistrates and Gentry are taking measures for their own protection, and the preservation of tranquil lity. The town and neighbourhood of Doneraile have been regularly patrolled every night .during the last week, by the volunteer inhabitants: and on Tuesdiy at their request, a small party of military were stationed. there. We understand that the 22d regiment, lately quar tered in Cloninel. have received orders to remove to the County of Cork (the bead-quarters to be at Mallow), and are to be replaced at Clontnel by the Ride Brigade, from Naas. UNFOUNDED RUMOURS. (IRON THE !SOUTHERN REPORTER.) Coax, Nov. 15--There were (yesterday) some very alarming Rumours put into circulation, evidtatly by persons who have an interest in making matters look bad. It was said that the houses of General Barry, the High Sheriff of the County, near Olanworth ; of the worthy Archdeacon Collis, sear Fermoy, and George Montgomery, Esq. near Mitchelstown, had been all at tacked and robbed of arms. It was even said that the latter gentleman had been severely beaten, and the partici lardesenption ofpuni ailment be underwent was described. Coupled with these stories were others, of similar out rages oseamitiod in the vicinity of the City, all of which naturally asoull, excited very painful alarm. It is with consideraNa gratification, however, we are enabled to immune, that, for any one of the rumours thus pro pagated there was not the slightest foundation, and that there is every reason to hope the active measures which are every where panning in the county, will soon put as end to the lawless proceedings that leave bees cat rying en. Itis lather a singular circumstance that an amount as attack on the hoses of Mr. Gibbires, of GibbitiN's- Ifrove, in this County, should fret appearis tke Law rick Chronicle of yesterday. Gibideginteve is, we LONDON: TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1821, _.........-_ STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Market is exactly in the same state as it was yesterday morning. Very lime is doing, and the present price from 78 to 1. The disturbances in Ireland will force themselves on our attention, were it only from the space which the account of them occupies in the colau►ns of every paper. What would be said if similar accounts were brought of the state of Portugal or Spain? How would our Ministerial journalists ridicule the mismanagement or imbecility of these governments that affected to be free ? But what can be thought of Ireland, when after all we have :►eard of the effects of the titso's visit there, and of the conciliatory measures of the administration, and of the loyal temper of the in habitants; we see large districts of the country in such a state of insurrection as to receive an extra ordinary establishment of Police, and be consigned to a rigour beyond the law ? It would be surprising that such extraordinary circumstances could be viewed by Englishmen with indifference. But what is still more strange, and must excite more astonishment or con cern, after all these extraordinary measures are resorted to, and the local police of these districts has been aided by a formidable military force, the spirit of disorder is unchecked. So far are the Irish papers received to ►lay from exhibiting any indications of returning peace, that they declare the County of Limerick, which took the lead in lawless proceedings, still continues in a state of disturbance. Several houses, it appears. in the liberties of Limerick, and tbevicinity, have been plundered of arms. The Insurgents bare even ap proached within almost a gun-shot of the City ; and have, in some instances, succeeded in carrying off arms from places within the range of the Artillery stationed in the garrison ; and where they have not any arms, they have levied contributions in money, ex pressly for the purpose of purchasing ammunition. The County of Limerick, as is generally known, is that which is the most disordered. The County of Cork, though not absolutely exhibiting, they say, as yet, the fearful as pect of Limerick, is in a state far from being tranquil. In one town, that of Mallow, the inhabitants, we learn. even without an application to Government, felt it necessary to take up arms, put their Yeomanry on permanent duty, establish a line of posts, and place their patroles and sentinels as in a town besieged. The County of Clare is also disturbed, and those of Waterford and Tipperary, though they are at present tranquil. are accounted in a preoarious state. In the county of Kerry the magistrates and gentry have tried a conciliatory plan with the people, and appear to have succeeded in the preservation of peace. It was to the want of this, and to the severe exactions exercised in the County of Limerick, on Lord COVILTZNAT'II estate. that the rise of the insurrectionary spirit is to be ascribed. - - "It is acknowledged by every man (says The Dublin Evening Post) at all conversant with the subject, that the disturbances in the county of Limerick may be fairly and directly traced to the system adopted by Hoskins in the administration of the Courtenay Estates. These es tates consist of about 40,000 acres. The conduct prac tised by this gentleman threw this part of the county into a ferment. It was not immediately met by corre sponding vigour, and there was, for some time, no dis position to moderate the tone, or to alter the system. The disturbances, in consequence, got to a head that de fied the civil power. The comparative impunity whisk even still the Insurgents—(we really do not know what other name to give them, though we do still find it neces sary to guard ourselves against the imputation of sup posing any thing political in the confederacy)—tbe punity, we say, enjoyed by the insurgents bad its neces sary and natural effect in causing the tenants of the neighbenring lands to imitate their example; and the infection, as we bane seen. has spread. " Now, we lay it down as a principle in which we are supported by facts, that, hail the proprietors of the neighbouring lands, or their agents, assembled together, in the midst of the people , not in C onclave or Divan, but openly—had they , in the presence of the people , dis cussed the state of the country, listened to the complaints of the tenantry, and redressed their grievances when this was possible, or evinced a disposition to do so, the county of Limerick would not be, at present, in the pe rilous and disgraceful state we see it. This has been done in Kerry—and Kerry, we perceive, is quiet. There is surely no strong difference of character, there is cer tainly little difference in condition, between the natives of the adjoining counties. " One word as to the politics of these disturbances. —Some London wiseacre contended, that the Carbonari bad affiliated brethren in Limerick. This is, to be sure, the acme of the absurd, Yet, really, it is not more ex travagant than to contend, upon the authority of an Epigram. that there are certain leaders behind the scene. This was gravely attempted by The Patriot. The Epi gram, the reader may remember, ran to this tune— " Hoskins and Going are all one ; " Hoskins is going— " goieff is !fops." !, Now this lipigram, such as it is, is ten or twelve, or , foe aught we Mew to the astray, twenty years ' Is the county a cot, we believe at Mallow. there were, in dme days Omer sesepenakisg, two bankers ottbe _,!it.___ believe, co9siderably to the west of biiciti, in w h ich Vbe respectable 'Gentleman thinksel is batensively con nected. *e had not heard of the transaction till we saw it narrated in the Limerick paper received to-day.

Paris papers to Sunday last arrived this mo n * They contain a representation or remonstrance at dressed to the King► of Spain, on the 29th ult. trey the merchants, artisans, and officers of the garris eeif Madrid. This memorial is not deficient in fried % or boldness, and complains of the numerous sad sme. dalous violation of law that had taken place, s a d hp. cially of the constant persecution of that restorer o f Spanish liberty, the heroic General Riego. h one of these journals, is an extract of a private letter, dated from Madrid, at eleven o'clock i same night, stating the commencement of seri als disturbances in that capital; but the channel throoo which the intelligence comet, gives us reason to h ap it will prove exaggerated. Letters from % oft the 10th inst. are quoted, stating, that the Spsoki Ex-minister of Marine, Java, had arrived on Asp. ceding day at the Lazaretto of Behobia, aolthoth was to proceed to Paris, charged with a mission fi ts his Goverument to the Court of France.--The l e t ters which have arrived from other parts of Spain email most afflicting intelligence of the progress of the yel. low fever. The hopes entertained of its being checked by the autumnal change in the temperature have, eef or . innately, not been, realised, and places hitherto exempt from the calamity, (and among them Cadis) have be. come the seats of pestilence. In some respects the cause of the Greeks appearsby the last accounts to he prosperous. An article from Corfu of the 15th of October, positively states that tie Tusks were in possession of only two fortresses is Candia, and must shortly evacuate that Island. A letter from Leghorn also states that an Ottoman corps, which came from Salonichi, had been defeated by Odysseus. The Greek leaders only ask for amassed ammunition : the European Adventurers, who arrive without arms and money, experience a disagreeable reception. The 'hairier* Murder, however, which for some time past has not published any intelligence from Constantinople (probably on account of the ab• sence of Prince Metternich), contains the followieg article, remarkable for its decided.tone against theist. cess of the Greek cause : " By the last accounts from Constantinople of Oct.lo, the junction of the Turkish fleet with that of the tan Bey, and also with several vessels belonging to the Governor of Egypt, and the Dcy of Algiers, is con firmed. The appearance of this fleet has spread terror in the Morea and the islands.—The Greeks ban elm doped Athens, and the Tujc s taken possession of it, tilt it immediately became a ey to the holes. There is room, however, to hope that this salatnity has fallen upon the new town only, which was composed of nine huts, and that the interesting remains of antiqaity have been spared by both parties. Some contribution bun been received at Hydra from foreign countries; liat this assistance is by no means adequate to the wants's] perils of this unhappy people. Those who bare not as yet derived courage from despair look to the future with trembling." The French Chamber of Deputies bare been hither to occupied with preliminary business. On Thursday only one more candidate for the Presidency could be elected, namely, M. de Donald, who had 114 votes, six above the absolute majJrity, there being no mere than 215 Deputies present. On Friday, on proceed ing to the choice of the fifth Candidate, 214 Delman voted, and after a scrutiny, the votes were toned far M. de Vaublanc 108 ; and M. Collard 88 ; on which the former was declared the fifth candidate for the Pre sidency. The Address of the Chamber of Peers to the KING, though but an echo of the Royal speech. contain a spirited passage in behalf of the Greeks which we have quoted in another column. Count Lieven is stated to have arrived at Paris, from Russia, on Wedeesday- It is added, that he was to set out in a few days for London, and that it was believed he was charged with a mission to his Britannic Majesty. The Prince Royal of Denmark, and his Princess have had as asthma if the King of France. FRENCII FUNDS, Nov. 16.—Five per Cents. 90 1 - 5. c.—liank Stock, 1592 f. 50 c.
