r V r I ;"' I • STAYS AF 11181.417VD.' - , Prltol4 THE nunirsi iiintsro r:err.) It is. lOW manifest to all men, that the Gentry, in a considerable part of the South of Ireland, bare abdi cated their station in society. They h'ave had charac ter which they decline to support—they haveproperty, or they have had, Aids they refuse to defend. An . inserrectioh, extensive axit is formidable, prevails in the County of Limerick—Cork has been also infested —anealfestations of its existence lit Clare, Kerry, and Tipperary, have been put beyond a qnestion—and yet the limey remain quiescent-4er sit with their hands folded—record the welters which have occurred , In ensiling paragraphs, and content themselves with calling open the Oeverumeat for forte, force, force. Nothing bat force will do, in their opinion. We think they are wrong. Force, if it could be applied to all the assailed and assailable point*, would not do. The fate dreadful oecarrenee in Tipperary Iris not, iw the least, changed' th* general view we are disposed to take Of the State of the Country. it tends, on the contrary, rather to confirm and corroborate the im pression we hare long felt—and, as the time fur half tnessuse is over, as every one it ailed 'upon to do the hest, and to say, the best he can; in the present meted eriels of the Country, we shall proceed, with lit- . tie, if any, qualification to delivei our own opinion. In a discussion of this nature, it would be extreme ly idle to discard, from the estimate of causes, the pee aentemedition of Agriculture, the distressed state of the landowner, the oppri.ssion of the tithe proctot, the • impoverishment of trade,' or the destitnion of the peasantry. Some of those will account for the !robe cility of the superior Orders, as well as for the ferocity of the pear. It is iA the operation of those that we must look for the remote causes—and the science of political ecoeomy would be worth nothing, if it did not indicate sprit:n-4 the consequences which are now il lnetrated in the actual disorganization of. a great part of the country. Hut as we have already, on several occasions, felt it necessary to investigate those matters, and to trace them to their effects, perhaps it would be as well that e should confine ourselves, for the present, to the Its:tiolate causes of those disturbances. In the first place, we would beg to ask, what is the state of the Magistracy of the county of Limerick—the focus and tee centre of the present Insurrection, if we must le compelled to call it so ? • • • • • • • The great landhold ers who should be an example to the minor gentry, ha?! departed ; and they are tormenting government right and left, for the application of force, force !-- There.are seven or eight thousand men in the neigh hood. Why should the whole country be assessed fer this ? Wby sot pat ehnestates of these absentee g ntiemen, under sequestration, and when they begin age n to return rent, why .not . make them available for the et rale s incurred ? prirciple has been already recognised.—lt is r. cognized in the Peace Preservation Aet. The dis terbal dirrirts must pay the Police. If there be jos. ti. e ifs this, there would be surely much greater justice in making the property of the man, who experiences none of the trouble, anxiety or alarm attendant upon its operation, but who reaps all the advantages of the measure, accountable for the expense. We have toad, until we are sick, declamation* on the busbies' of taxing a was who 'did Sot hie on his property. Well, it.., we sleighd not tax him. — But if his property wets attacked in his absence, we should make that property available for its defence. If he complain, be has only to sell it, and live in the pace in which he finds himself more comfortable. We read its the Preach papers that Lord Cottrteosy has purelhaiid a magnificent Chateau and Demesne in Franci„We quarrel not with his Lordship's taste or patriotism. He may like the climate and the people of France better than those of Ireland, or he may be influenced by any other cogent reason. We care nut, do we enquire. Bat, since he prefers France, would it not be more honourable for his Lordship to sell his dirty Irish acres? They would he bought we warrant him, and Agra is a probability that the landlord would be resident. Certain we are that any change must be for the better. Why should not this argument be applied to min resident landlords is general, whose lands happen to lie in disturbed districts ? lint it should seem th it that there is a call for the Insurroetios Act. 'lie Reader will find sonic resolu tions that point that way in knoll'''. _colonist.— We were prepared fur this. We knew it was long the wish, and the ferv-nt hope of a majority. we are •sorry to say, of the land-owners. It has laws the common try of some of the Yelpers, who think they are writing politits, when they are pronouncing tirades against use Actives. Well, then. we do acknow ledge, hr we mail, that the Peasantry in the South of Ireland are in a state of semi-barbarism—that the out rage which we had to record in our last, and sore fur ther particulars concerning which will be found in our columns this day is deeply disgraceful to the national character. We do admit s that in the history of the bar barldes practised by the Turks upon the Christian Creeks. &oda whieh we reed seek dreadful mid blood chilling details. in almost every Foreign Journal, bare been almost thrown into the shade, by the recant out rages in the County of Tipperary. Nay, in the history of tht North American Indians, the most ferocious and cruel race of men that ever lived. there catkokoly he found a parallel to this nowt shocking. ocinwresiat. But the Turks are Barbarians, and the Indians are savages.— The form of tiovernment among the first, is • blind, besotted, and ignorant Depatisea: among the latter there lano feria .f tiorernment. His passions, his revenge. is the nattier controls, of the Savage. How then comes it: that in the British Empire; the fi nest and most en lightened in Europe; the best administered, and. as we are told a thonsand times. the taint moral—how comes it, we say, that in the very bosom of this empire, and Immediately under the lallueace of all these excellent institution, which is the bright of our self gratulation. we have prolonaced the that a the world. and Uneasy of surronnuins stations, that sigh a set of Fiends, in the buns hen aboold Eat. • Whei the people of Englaad shall declaim. as de claim Ring will. so d.inbt.aa the sallect of this sopa rui•led itreeity—swhea they shall talk of the Irish pre*. as savages and wretches, to whom so mercy shoo,* ha shows. we. shall take leave he ask them. tl/Bete task is this ?

Or is this stain in our character peculiar to the nation Why we can scarcely think so. Tin lAA who have emigrated to America, and have enjoyed equal laws and *Vats with the Natives of the Transatlantic Republic% err not behind, is morality or decorum, any •ember of the Union. The truth is, England is chargeable with the crimes and miseries of this Country. She has had Ler now in her possession 600 years. Though her grasp was often relaxed, she never quit it entirely. Since the Revolution she has reigned with sovereign sway and masterdom. And in the nineteenth century she rule., a population trebled in mount, quite as barbarous as she found it towards the close of the seventeenth. It is useless to shift the burden of her responsibility, or try to shift it, to other shoulders.. We admit, that the Superior Orders of the Country are as much to blame as wen can well be, who, treat ing the poor as slaves, find in them all the vices and ferocity that belongs to a state of slavery. Still, England was the Mistress; and England, the envy , of surrounding nations, he. confined hei• Irish Le gislation to the demoralising Penal Code, with all its minute and machinery of perjury,- blood, and, plunder. It is trite. the greater part of the Cock is • : revel pealed; but the crimes of a century cannot le ie. speedily washed away. They have left vices behind, them, which neither England nor the OentrY have thought of removing. We hope, however.aud we believe. that notwith standing the lowering prospect now before us, a new era is not far distant. Ilse high character, the firm . and constitutional character of Mr. Brant, supplies, at least, one pledge, that the Cabinit meant this Country well. Mr. tirant despises show, and be has not the vulgar vanity of showing his strength. But those err grievously, we suspect. who give out—and lleaven knows we heard enough of these 'hinge out ! these ambignone voices !—that there is any difference of opi nion in the Irish Cabinet, as to the remedies which should be applied to the present disturbances. On the contrary, it nil! be found, we imagine, that on this subject, at least, the utmost cordiality prevails at the Castle. More we have not room to say—nor conld we bring ourselves to say less, Early nest week, perhaps on Tuesday, we shall have some observations on the sub ject of two plans, which we find have been proposed for the Government of the Country —one, Martial Law, since the Insurrection Act has expired— and the other. a svtem of Ueneral Police. We shall only say for the present, that we think both bad ; and, we are pretty sure, that neither will be adopted now. LIMA. ..-....--- The Baltic Merchant, which arrived in the Downs on Monday last, in 99 days from Valparaiso, brought, letters from that port to the 19th of August. They confirm the reported capture of Lima by General San Martin, and state that the Conqueror had entered that city on the 12th of July. Letters from San Sago de 'Chili also corroborate that intelligence, and add that' the Flag Ship of Lord Cochrane (the San-44ae had encountered a tremendous gale in thalz i tCho• rillos and had been driven an shore, where e wato completely wrecked. The San Martin bad a large quantity of specie and valuable goods on beard, which had been collected by imposts upon vessels trading in those seas. Nearly the whole of this treasure had been lost. Lord Cochrane,bis officers, and crew, were saved, and his Lordship bad removed his flag to the 'O'Higgins, of 50 guns and 360 men, commanded by Capt. Crosby. Tine San Martin carried 64 guns and 400 men. Besides this intelligence, letters hive been re ceived direct from Lima, which announce that the Viceroy had evacuated that city on the 4th July, and that the inhabitants had immediately opened its gates to the Patriots and declared themselves independent. The following are extracts from letters posted up . at. Lloyd's " Lima W 29 entered by General San Martin and his Staff on the 4th of July, the gates baring been thrown open to receive him by the inhabitants, and their inde pendence declared." Another letter states :—" An army of indepeadente is now marching against Quito. Tit, siege at Cs. Inane is carrying on with great vigour, and the tri umphal entry of General Bermudez is expected to take place every day." " SANTIICO Ox CHILI.

"Head-quarters in Lima, July 19. 1921. " JOSE DE SAN MARTIN. " To his Excellency the Captain-General, D. Bernardo 01Iligins. Supreme Director of the State of Chili." By a private letter from Lima, dated the 16th of July, we lean that the evacuation of the city by La Serra took place on the 4th. The viceroy was ac companied by the whole of the Royalist troops, con sisting of about 5,000 men. Of this number 2,0Q0 took the route along the coast to the southward, under the command of La Serra, and the remaining 3,000 marched towards the Sierra, under the command of Cont.:rec. The solemn declaration of independence by the authorities of Lima was made on the 15th, and no interruption to the public tranquillity had occurred. Callao, it appears, had not surrendered to the Chilies forces on the 20th of July. s' Extract of a private letter from ♦alparaiso, 16th iiie 1821 :—lt gives me great pleasure to infi;rm yon, that Lima is at last in possession of Oeneral San Martin.

An article, dated Frankfort, November ; 19, says, " all the news that reaches us on the jest of Turkish affairs evinces that the negociation be tween the cabinets continue, but it shows equally that the Dina and the cabinet of Petersburg do not, on that account, relat in their preparations for 'war. The Russian troops, stationed in Polend as well as along the frontiers of Turkey, so far from retire leg to their homes or their garrisons, take up their winter quarters wherever they are. The guard of the Emperor Alexander, which of Itself alone ferias a corp of between 50 and 00.000 men, will not return to the neighbourhood of Petersburg, and the Russian Government has agreed with the purveyors . . to provision the army ddring the winter months. The Turks, •o their side,take measures either fir attacking the Russians or opposing to them a rigoress resistance, according to the tarn which the first hes. tilities may take. They write to as from Coastsati• not le, that the Ottoman population of that great rap; tal, animated with the blindest fanaticism, are load in their demands for war.

Rothschild sad other rich merchants a lost, of which his court has need in case Russia should go to war with the Turks. A letter from Venice. of. tbe Iflth of November. • states the following details, as having been reeeived ' by' commercial houses there from Zante, under the dates of the 14th and 15th of October. "The Turkish 'f\A .. Ant, composed of about 80 ships of war, and 40 little ' vessels taken at lialatidi, had been attacked on the ilth, between Z ante and Scantagno, by a divisios of the Greek fleet. After an engagement of ten hoer., the Turkish fleet entered Zante in very bad conditito. having lost one brig, two galliots, and three of its prizes. (Other letters announce the lose as more eon siderabls.) The Greeks formed themselves in line in sight of Lime, and a spectator worthy of credit took the number of their ships to be 82. The Greek Com mander came os shore on the 14tb, and held a confer ence with the anthorities on the island. Os the 1511. at day break. the Turkish fleet quitted Zante." An article dated Trieste.
