LLTTER OF LORD CARBERY. TO THE CO( NTY OF CORK. 1 use this comprehensive term because I feel that there is not a legal Freeholder of this great •County, who is not deeply interested in the subject on which I address you. You will have seen in the public prints the proceeding of the County Meeting of yesterday, and I tnist you will feel with me, a just indignation at eie result of it Your great County, the first in this portion of the United Empire, was ealled.hy your High SLerilf, in pursuance of a Requisition fi►r the purpose of addressing the Prince Regent on the death of our lamented Queen. It might have been presumed that on such a subject, every man would have telt it his •duty to come forward, and give his assent to the last -eomr/iment that was to be paid to the memory of one of the must ashiable and virtuous Queens that ever s::ared the British Throne. It might be fairly pre sumed that on such an occasion even apathy would have been roused to .make an .exertion, that party feeling, if it could be supposed to exist, would have been stifled.; that when the County was called upon to give in a loyil and complimentary Ad -dress to the Representative of our beloved Sovereign, - oa - a solemn and important occasion, there would have :been finind in this great and loyal County but .one -heart and one mind.--Very different, however, has :been the case; even of those who signed the 'Requisition, but few thought proper to attend the Meeting, and •iustead of seeing the Benches of your Court House 'crowded with the rank, property, •and respectability of ithe County, they were occupied by persons resident in `the City, some of•wbom, perhaps, had the question been 'tried, might have been found wanting in the privilege of a Forty Shilling Freehold. The consequences Nv ere such as might have been expected ; I need not recite them. they have already appeared: !in the public prints. It now rests with you to submit to.thc degradation which the County has suffered, or to. come forward and •assert -your dignity, your rights, and, your true inde pendenie. If you choose to give up the direction of your County into the bands of those 'Gentlemen, in God's name let them be your .High Sheriffs, let them be your Grand Jurors, let them be the Representatives of your County, If, however, one spark of public feeling yet remains unextinguiAlieJ, let .it be kindled into a flame. When your Sheriff summons his Baili wick, attend him, rally •round him, protect his dignity and your own, appear •in your places., and let those Gentlemen, whatever may be their pretensions, hold that rank and influence in the County, to which their merits and their property entitle them ; but do not let them usurp yours am no party man. I address you as a frec.and independent landed proprietor of your County, deeply interested in its welfare, sallow for its honour, and indignant at its disgrace. Cork, December 24, 1818. CARBERY. Letters from Amsterdam state, that the house of Beerenbrook, the establishment which has attracted so much notice from the extent of its speculations in the Government securities of France, is at length declared in a state of insolvency. The ruin of this commercial house, which. though not perhaps of the first order, maintained a very high .rank at Amsterdam, is chiefly to be ascribed to those speculations, of the magnitude of which some idea may be formed by stating, that M. Beerenbrook at one period held 4,000,000 of rentes, iorming a capital of 80,000,000 of francs ; and t h at every fall of one per cent. that took place in the funds, constituted a difference of more than 40,0001. sterling. M. Beerenbrook has not retained any stock in his own manse fur some wcels past; but the loss caused by the decline of the rentes during the present month, falls on those exchange brokers who became his securities at. the ►ast liquidation, and will of course be enormous. She following - scene has occurred in Cork:—The county were summoned to address the Regent on the demise of the Queen. Lord Carbery moved the ad dress; Mr. Boyle proposed a nominal amendment.— Parties were strongly divided, and the bheritl obliged to adjourn. Lord Carbery has addressed an indignant epistle to the county. - • - - :Lord Castlereagh was so much indisposed with the gout on M ondkty, that it was hecessary to lift. him in and out of his bed.; indet.d he wits scarcely able to move at all without sb6sistance. -- The lust Census wade in Bavaria states the number . o f families in that kingdom o) he 789,190, which sup a popula tion of tour gaillious of iadiabitants.
