I t he W I quality in the noble Marquess to which t i e Ministerial writers of the day look up, is that tavaicb, unhappily, recostree has often and in vain use bad to reduce that distracted country to order. Oicharecteristic of his admiration of Government, they, is rigout ; yet in exercising it, he not ive his own discretion, but take advice pf the experi." soc a part of the resident community. Acting with o at lis called vigour, and directing it by the Ilist feelings of the persons at the seat of local go. esent, have been the sources of most of the wig bows of Ireland. From what is hinted, the govern. totieself has not been wrong, but only not enlight. wit Oa from wheedle Courier of last night suggested 4isvy expect the nhw Viceroy to be attended with a Ivy assemblage of 'fresh Counsellors to furnish him ofieisteilleence and advice.

Was l The nobility and gentry of property, says the ea pent writer, must, if they seek to secure peace to her dis- Meta a ad surly deserted provinces,_ come forward in a body, and seriously set themselves to discover l a apply a remedy that shall heal the sores off the past, and prevent a recurrence of similar ones in future. But as to any radical cure, slat is out of the question. Let them, continues this political quack, instead of cc:intending for specialities political opinions (such as the Ca tholic Emancipation, on which they have set their hearts) exert themselves only to increase the domestic comfort of th e poor, by the adoption if expedients. The chief expedient which this I sagacious writer has himself found out, is the return the absentee. to their native country ; and if the Irish laid-owners could but be persuaded to reside on their own estates, their system of government is so excellent, that the country would, in a abort time, become the most tranquil and flourishing part of the Britiab Empire !!! While the Bonanox Ministers, who have so often attempted by their emissaries to create a counter Re- I volution in Spain, bare sunk under a coalition of their own enemies at home, it must be satisfactory to the Liberals of France, and to those Spanish Patriots *ho nee determined to rescue their country from bonnets intrigues, to see the content failure of -of the aeltesnee of the ROYAL RMOROIDOROR Of Spain. This !pest-ridden Meow% has not bees idle in the 1e of subjugation. His attemp ted eltiages in the Government of the different Provinces hes bees disapproved of by the people, and have pro tined firm opposition from the Corporate Authorities. The pasillanimous creature, however, festal led on by the Monkish Ultra', who feel their ill-gotten power falling away. and their prospects of living on the labour of the people vanish before their eyes. They see the bigotry of centuries, and the clouds of superstitions thraldom evaporating, and the people determined to ernancipate themselves. determined to prefer liberty to ilaverys and the rights of their fellow-citixens to the ustrpation of a prejudiced Clergy : who, like all others of the cloth, are at all times arrayed against the cause of liberty. The Courier fancies in its ravings, that the Spaniards, because they ate resolved to have the substance, not the shadow, of a liberal Government, have fur their object the conversion of Spain into a Re public. That the people of Spain should prefer any form of Government to that of the &moven, is not much to be wondered at. And even a Republic may offer to them its temptations, especially when they see their Transatlantic Colonies flourishing under the standard of the people, and the 1 NQUISITION levelled with • the dust. These are advantages to Spaniards for Which they themselves have paid dearly. The indlo cote and tyranny of Kings in 1 Priests, no longer bold victims in captivity. Chains have rusted with the blood of the brave ; but the bonds have bees broken asunder for the good of the human race. No longer 'are freemen consigned to the dungeon for thinking. ne edifice of Monkish cruelty no longer 'sista. Spain has a glorious field before it, while its hopes of • effectual regeneration are supported by Portugal. *hose Institutions are gradually and firmly advancing fikgrottness. The wisdom of the Portuguese is pre eminent, and we hope that a union of the political interests of that people with Spain, will be courted and eff.cted by the Patriot exertions of both countries. Arosurao, Nov. 27.—The Russian army of the South, commanded by Count Wittgenstein, is to have for its van-gaard MONO Polish ',lacers.

(PROM TIN DOMAN MORNING NOM IMIG. . Oat starests from the Provincial Papers this day are tow. Portuestely they disclose so sew atrocity.— The following statement we copy from the Correttpostri• ' eat of Saturday evening : " EITIAMIDINART Ournatia.—About the hour of 12 o'clock, on the night of last Tuesday, a large party of the peasantry, well armed, and consisting of more than two handled peruse. went to the farm of Inch, *bids is situate between Ballingary and Charleville, and, in a short time, destroyed a valuable orchard. They felled one hundred and• fourteen apple trees, sixteen ash trees, and one elm tree. But devastation slime was not the object of the Unditti, as they had broughtwith them, about one hundred horses and cars. for the purpose of removing the spoil. They partly effected their design, as they removed some of the tim ber from the premises, shouting in triumph. and firiag glans, as if is defiance of the civil or military powers. The letter which has communicated this intelligence adds, that there is a report in the neighbourhood, that the peasantry are determined not to leave a treestaa4- ing in that part of the country. The farm of lack is part of the estate of John Mason, Esq. and as information was quickly given by his sons, to Major Wilcock., of the perpetration of the outrage, some hopes were enter tained that be would be able to discover some of the offenders" We stated on Saturday. that it was the intend*. (as we were informed) of the Lord Mayor, to lane a Proclamation. ordering that all public houses in the city of Dublin. should be closed at eight o'clock et night. We hosed since shoats) Proclamation was ac tually issued, bat we could not see one, nor could we discover any body else that bad sees this Lord Mayor's Proclamation. Oar own opinion is, that such a pro ceeding is not called for. la the north, the abominable Toll Extortion has been the cause of seine disturbance. The unfortunate peasantry were so worried by the exorbitant demands of these harpies, the Toll-men. demands not warranted either is law or in equity, that they have been driven, as happened in Dublin under the auspices of the Cor poration, to open resistance to all payment of tolls, as the people are unable to distinguish between the legal demand, if there be any such, and the extortion. We recollect when, at the Toll-house in Barrack-street, three shillings and ninepence for toll was demanded on three doses of reaping hooks, and when an Alder. man of Dublin bad the hardihood to appear is person to support the claim We are credibly informed that many of the Magistrates in the northern counties have not discharged properly their duty en the subject of these disputes respecting the Toll system. We understand, and we have great pleasure in stat ing it, that the orders which had been issued for the erecting of barriers at the canal bridges. and other outlets of the city, have been countermanded. We wish the Directors of the Bank of Ireland would order the cheemax de frill. which wu on etarday placed at the top of the Bask building, where it joins W es t m orlaed-street. to be taken down ; groundless a larms are ceased by the appearance of those sort of preparations, whisk are injurious is their effects. la superable ridiculous and foolish reports were in air collides during the put week, wholly unworthy of Wines *Wm, M The sta ff of the City of Cor k ind a. wader the eosusand of Adjutaat Bass, have been ordered to teas the forts at Cove. His Majesty's Privy Conseil were again in deliber ation on Saturday. On the *abject of the Nenagh affair we find the fol lowing letter in The Correspondent of Saturday eve's- " Sin,—An account of the affray which took place at Nesagb on *today evening last. between a party of the Nenagh Yeomen on daty. sad some country people, has bees transmitted to the War Office, by two llagistrates, who took information upon the spot; and an investigation is in progress, the result of which will be shortly made public ; in the mean time, I beg to state that the .pars graph in The Dublin Morning . Post of this day, giving an account of the transaction, is incorrect. " Pecan Rotates, jun., Capt. Nenagh Yeomanry." The account given in the Morning Post was taken from letters written on the spot, which, we know, were not intended to be further used, or published—the writers, therefore, could have ne motive 'in misrepre *eating the circumstances which had occurred. We have since-seen other letters. which give precisely the same account. la addition to other causes of distress which now afflict the South of Ireland, we learn, with much re gret, that the poor are threatened with what to them would be a *talons calamity, the loss of a large part of the potatoe crop. This is owing to the continued wet weather, by which the pits are filled with water, and the potatoes rotted, or rendered unfit fir use. COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. We understand the Commissioners of Parliamentary Inquiry have discontinued their sittings for the pre sent. and are returned to England. Probably they wish to speed the Christmas with their friends, and it is. we believe, their intention to return early in the Spring, and resume the investigation with which they had been charged. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX. The Churchwardens and Deputies met at the Post 011ite Tavern, on Saturday , when the Secretary read. the Lord Mayor's Requisition, calling an Aggregate Meeting, on Thursday next, at the Royal a Exchne. The Requisition was ord ered to be pobilshed ; s g ad sanguine hopes are entertained. that on a moderate, but fall sod firm representation if the grievous op pressieas of this impost being laid bef ore Par liament.ar- its total repeal would follow. the Meeting on Thursday will be *ell attended. Three thoasaad of the Veteran Battslieu are to be immediately embodied.

Suaday se'saight, between five and six o'clock is the evening. as Monsieur Morel was on his way Irons Exeter to Newton Bushell, he was stopped tear the latter place by two footpads, who presented a pistol to Lis breast, and demanded bis money. Monsieur Morel, greatly alarmed for bis life, although he did not under stand English, surrendered his pocket-book, containing 551. In notes, with which, after a fruitless search for his watch, the robber and his companion jumped over the bodge and made off. The tallest of the villains had whiskers, and wore a blue jacket and trowsers. We understand, that the late Mrs. Fortescue, of 11 Avishays, Somerset, amongst other Legacies, has left 5001. to the Devon and Exeter Hospital. As inquest was held at the Swan Inn, Great Tor rington, on Sunday last, on the body of Mary Stevens, who was found dead under very suspicions cirrum stews. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Mur der; and a young man named Philip Chapel, sup posed to be the perpetrator, has been committed for trial to the Devon County Gaol. The King's pardon was yesterday received for Thos. Watts, who was convieted of Forgery at the last As sizes. bad teceived sentence of death. A detainer, however; against him, was at the same time received, for a misdemeanour; but to be liberated on giving hail, himself in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each, for his appearance at the next Assizes.--(diffred, Dec.ll.) The Gazette of last eight annonaces the appoint- Inuit of the Marquess of Wellesley to be Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, the Marquess of Coaynghaut to. be Lord Steward, the Duke of Montrose to be Local Chamberlain, and the Doke of Dorset to be Master of the Horse.

They mention the arrival of intelligence from Pastas, that the Greek troops from Tripoli:2a had arrived before that place, and were attaeltiag it. Us their approach, the Turks began to put into ex-- cation a plan they had previously formed for the de. strection of the tows, which they set on fire at several places. The conflagration was raging when the Sc. coasts loft, and all the inhabitants had quitted Patras. The Enlist' Consul bad arrived at '!.ante. About 1,500 Lalliot Turks bad remained in the Castle, which, as the Greeks are ill provided with artillery. is described as sufficiently strong to resist their attacks; but it was probable they must soon surrender for want of previsioas. A Lisboa Mail arrived yesterday with letters and papers to the 3d instant. This packet brought over t►e sew Portugaese 'disaster to our Court. M. Oli veira, aad the Secretary of Legation, M. Fernandes Thomas. Letters were received yesterday from St. Peters burg to the 13th ult. The exchange had fallen from 91 to 91. This unexpected fall tended to confirm the reports that were in circulation as to the hostile inten tions of the Russian Court. A very eminent house at Dantsit had stopped payment to the amount, it is said, of four millions of guilders. The failure is attributed to as esteasive speculation in grain, in expectation of the opening of the ports in this country. This cir cumstance bad caused a gloomy appearance at Desi st*, and commerce was particularly dull there. The mercantile house above alluded to, it is said, is the beam of Tonnejme and Co. A letter from Malta of the 13th ult. says—“ The Rochfort will sail from hence on the 15th, to bring Sir Thomas Maitland here, who has been detained in Corfu by the late disorders in the islands.

It only appertains to rigid and impartial posterity to fix the place which Na pless is to occupy among the great men, ancient and tea. but the circumstance of his exile and of his promature death. suffice to create the liveliest interest in the minds of all liberal men, whatever be their na tion, or soot, and to deserve. on their parts, a last tribute to his memory.

GRAND FIGHT BETWEEN NEATE AND Tint GASMAN This fight which had excited so much interest and expectation, not only among the jitney, but among the public in general, took place yesterday in the plains above Hangerford, 66 miles from the metropo lis. It was one of the most tremendous encoatiters recorded in the annals of the art, and left far behind the celebrated battle between Johissos and Big Ben. Its issue also disappointed most of the knowing ones. • for thouth both combatants were known to he des perate hitters, yet the dreadful punishing right hand of Gas was expected to bear him through triumphantly. Neate and Gas entered the ring in high spirits. each anticipating victory. Tom Belcher and Harry . Harnier were Neste's Second and Bettle•holder, and Spring and Shelton Second and Bottle - holder to das. The first and second moods were to the advantage of Gas, and betting rose two to one in his layout. The third round was more equal. though be still main tained some superiority. The foufth round, though not the last, proved decisive of the fight. Gas, who lass the habit of breaking from • his man, and then tumbling in with desperate violence, received himself two treinenduous hits right and left, which floored him, and took the fight out of him. Fourteen other rounds were fought after this, but he Dever recovered sulliciestly to render the ultimatelssaa doubtful. He was bit stone blind, and punished in the moot dreadful manner, whilst at the conclusion of the eighteenth round, when Neale wag declared the victor. be 'either had lost a drop of bleak nor had a wretched fags to skew. Many bets were depending, an 4 much money has been lost by the issue of this battle, the whole of which did sot last more than 24 seinates.
