It appears now that the efforts of r the lu+ur,te►it freer,. to emancipate the kingdom from their oppre+•ion, has completely litikd.— , Letters from Madrid of the 17th instant, from Vesdeva of the ISth, and from Rota of the 11th, ..ositively contradict all the reports respecting the reneral tranquillity of Spain. The alarm excited .3 the first ruovement of site troops' has nearly ut,s;iled, and no formidable traces of the insurgents 'Pie attempt to seize Cadiz has been %%ice unsuccessful ; the troops were repulsed at Cortadura with the loss of two or three hundred ;nen. "The officers are unable to prevent the soldiers from disbandi►►g themselves, and joining the Royal standard. General FREYRE has pressed the In- Argenta so closely, that the Chiefs of the revolt are endeavouring to embark at St. Peter. The city of Cadiz has shown great attachment to the King. The moat perfect tranquillity prevails throughout the rest of Spain. Every courier is now expected to bring intelli :Noce of the total extinction of a sedition which has caused so much alarm to the friends of le ;itimacy. It is reported, that the number of disaffected •oldkrs does not exceed 2,000. It is believed that they have Prepared vessels, that the Chip& may escape by the river of San Pedro, which is ommanded by the fort of Sauti Petri, of which art they are masters. The Government are send ng towards Andalusia all the disposable troops— ;eneral FRLYRE is detained at Seville s by the ex craordinary snow which at present covers Andulusia. In addition to .the .above particulars, we learn ..hat the Insurgents remain in possession of the Isla of Leon. Four thousand marines from the squadron have ji)itsed the garrison and the city militia, to prevent them from rendering them selves muter. of the city. All men able to bear arms have been called upon by the Governer of Granada. STATE 91.' IRELAND. (PION THE DUBLIN KTENISCI POST, HICEITED THIS LORNING.)

The number of the insurgents is computed at 500, while that of the loyal villagers did not exceed 100; on the valour and good feeling of the latter, it is impossible to bestow •utficient praise ; wholly undisciplined, and but *very imperfectly armed, they have achieved a feat which entitles them to the gratitude of the county in which th-y live, and have set an example to their neighbenrs, which, if imitated, would soon check the progrees of se dition, and restore public tranquillity. This society of deserving peasants are, we are informed, assured of a reward suited to their merit, from their landlord, who. by his parental attention to the claims of his numerous tenantry, has obtained their lure and confidence." We recommend the conduct of this landlord, and the effect it has had opon his tenantry, to the con sideration of those Gentlemen who hare fled front their residence.

Cower CafLow•.—Some time ago, we mentioned a circumstance to which our attention hail been called by a letter from Maryborongh, in the Queen's County : we have made every inquiry respecting this matter, and find that the report originated either in some ocetegisk tricks—or was a ramification of Paddy *Ow's Plot, lientlensen should be very cautions in jontilier letter writing at this time, that they do not give from under their hands any thing tending to excite alarm unneces sarily. Thank tics& our part of the country is tranquil; and well it is for the poor, at the present moment, that it is so: every exertion has been made, and is making, to relieve their distress; and we acknowledge that wuch is due to their patient endurance of almost every priva tion, at this season of general calamity.—(Curime Morals/ Pest.) At a bleeting held in Belfast, on Tttesday last, Reso lutions to relieve the Poor were entered into, and a Com mittee appointed to collect subscriptions. A similar Meeting was held in Kilkenny on the same day, and in the small town of Tullow, County Carlow. 401. has been subscribed with the same benevol;nt intent. EXTRACT Of A LITTER 111034 IDANDOPI, DATED JAN. Y.S. "I regret much to inform you, that a spirit of great discontent has manifested itself in this place among the cotton weavers, who are the great bulk of the trades. people of this town. Ureat thetrem has latterlr previa ed amongst them, owing to the scarcity of wort; and the low rate of wages; the consemtente of both which canoes was, that the great proportion of those poor people were reduced to a state of absolute starvation. They, however, bore their misery with extraordinary patience, and almost without a murmur, until tl:ey per- l i cared the camblet and worsted weavers, whose trade , has been altogether rained, driven. by their own Wants. to encroach upon what they conceived to he their ex elusive concero, the waving of cordnror; for which ar ticle there was some little demand, and such a price as enabled a man, with the ;mistimes of his wife and one or two children, to earn, perhaps, seven or eight shil lings in the week, by very laborious exertion, from five o'clock in the morning natal ten or eleven it night. The cotton weavers complaieed that the intruders, as they called them, not only eneroathod upon their trade, but also ruined it. by endeavonsiag, in a variety of ways, to nndersell them, so that the coeds remained upon the hands of the old employers, or were disposed of at a loss; to remedy which. those employers were obliged to curtail still more the hire of the workmen. Driven thus to a state of desperation, the cotton weavers, it seems, determined to turn round upon the intruders. and as outrage which occurred its oar vicinity last night, is attributed to this resolittioo.—A man, be name Quin lan, at ltilbrogan, in the vicinity of this town, who had been a camblet weaver, and lately turned his looms to the corduroy work, was attacked in his house last eight by a large number of persons, some of whom dis charged fire-arms. Qninlau, and four other turn, who were with him, were overpowered and kept down, whilst the bongo was rifled, his looms injured. is curds taken away, and part of the looms, together wit h some wearing apparel, &c. curried off. He has this day lodged infor mation" against a number of persons, who have been ap. prehentled; a part of one of his looms has been found in the hoes. of one of the persons, and after a patient ex amination before Thotfias Ho.-nihntpok, Esq. a respect able Merlotti*. eight or ten persons have been 'malty committed to take their trial at the Assizes. Though there is a general impression of the innocence of some of those committed, they are likely to be sent to Cork to-morrow.

This day we have received Paris papers of Sa turday, The accounts respecting the suppression of the Spanish revolt, as given in another part of our Paper, are still further confirmed. Ferdinand i must attribute this result, so fortunate to him, rather to the panic which seems to have pervaded the ranks of the lnsnrgents, than to the wise and effective measures of those who remained faithful to him. It appears, that the snow which covered Andaln•ia offered the most favourable opportunity to the revolters of concentrating their strength, and preparing themselves against the opposition of Ge neral Freyre, who was intercepted in his march by the impassable state of the roads. But want of union, as well as confidence in their own strength, afforded an easy victory to their enemy. The maxim of saute qui pew( seems to be generally understood among, and practised by the soldiers, wherever the opportunity occurs. A public sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was appointed to take place on Saturday, to receive the communication of the Minister of Finance, upon the project of the Law on Ways and Means. The King transacted business on Friday with the Minister of War. The Duchess of Bourbon also paid her respects to his Majesty. The Duke de Crillon died on the 27th ult. at Paris, aged 71 years: he had been a Member of the Constituent Assembly. of the same account makes, however, the pla Royal retreat to be Vittoria. And here for present we will leave these vague, but metr o fabulous accounts, till we have better authority, as to enable us to set them forth with more 03 . deuce, or less dubiety.

Upon the personal virtues of his late Majestyi hope and trust we have spoken as become us: au are more sensible than ourselves of their beneala influence upon society: the good example of Sovereign is more likely to be imitated by his peal than one of an opposite character. We hare a thought proper to fall into that servile cotes ascribing every desirable public and private gad to the good King, in the view of ingratiating 01 selves with those who are nearest in °ennui to the Crown. To describe his Majesty as ose the greatest Princes of this or any age—as baj raised the renown and the fortune of the es* beyond all reasonable hope; and to premixing long period of his reign as made up of an anise rupted series of halcyon days, is such a gross a of the proper gravity of history, and such fan clattery, that whatever allowance we may aW for the operation of self-interest, we are at a k for the motive of so doing.
