Althangh letters Weir received in town yesterday from various parts of the conntry, we do not learn that any new event of importance was communicated from the disturbed districts. There is no longer a doubt, hut that the particular grievance which has had the largest share in pro dacicg the present (potful... and their accompanying tunsultnens resistance to the laws, is the severity (shall we say the injustice?) with which tithe is rated and levied, or attempted to be let led, in the South of Ire land. The reader cannot have forgotten the does meats which we recently published respecting tithe in the parish •f Aglivh, coonty of Waterford. The ex tracts which we published yesterday from the Cion mel Herald. are also of great importance as bearing upon this question. The Sub-Sheriff of the county of Waterford at tended, it appears, at a village called Poor-Mile- Water, to levy distress for tithes, ender Civil Bill de crees. The Cloamel Herald says : " The seasation produced by his presence was each as may naturally be supposed to attend the m en:lon, esootiot an unlettered population, in the time of neiversal depression tad distress, of legal process, to ?oyes payment of tithes, several years in arrear, to a person who has for the last six or seven years; if not longer, been entirely out of the ! The foolish, misguided people, to a great Banshee, took up arms." • • • • • • And agaits "In the word of the rebellion of 1795, this dis trict was singularly tranquil • • ". Although the people, uoivereally speaking, murmur against the rates at which tithes are charged, as quite too heavy. beyond any commensuration with the crops and prices aed grievously aggravated in their pressure, by the coneonsitanoy of every other burden, still they pay the wildest any menace of war. Their objection veers to be against what many sober persons consi der an ungracious effort, just now, in a district hitherto solerably tranquil, to put in execution Civil Bill de reoleartherrined for tithes that accrued doe oat of crops grown wise nr ten, or eleven years since. We know that no landlerd can be found, who has suffered three years' rent tat ran in arresr, and is at the same time ualeeting or unthinking enough to attempt enforcing Its payment. He knows that the teasel who has been obliged to fall so much behiodhand, cannot be ex pected to recover his lee-way, and he gives up the claim as hopeless." The Editor of the Paper from which we have made these extracts is himself a Magistrate, and never, we believe, Weltered the charge, as other public writers have done, of leaning too mach to the side of po feeling. • • • • (11110111 YR!

It is knows to all oar read ers, that fonishowen is famous for illicit distillation. The dicer oonsmanding the revenue police, having re ceived information concerning certain stills, went with big party to seize them. The peasantry offered a fierce mistime, sod we regret to state appear to have been too teccessfel. The officer bad blears fractured, and sin of the Police ere said to have been killed. The particu lars have not yet reached us, bat, we belisie, the reader limy-rely on the foregoing statement. After a detail of the various outrages which bad been recently committed is the county of Cork, the sass, paper thus proceeds :—As a set off to these statements. we are glad to have in oar power to state, that Water ford has, generally speaking', not only continued tranquil, bat that not fewer than 90 stand of arms bare beta ss tiered, voluntatily, to the Magistrates.— We bare also to state, that nine of the murderers of Mr. Brenton. who was assassinated between Cork and Trak*, bare been apprehended, aid the leader of a party shot. There is now a force of between sic and seven thousand men, horse, foot, and artillery in the comi ties of Limerick and Cork alone. And yet these two moieties bare bees, and continue to be, in a greater state of agitation. than any in the kingdom. Nothieg eau be more aanoying and harassing thou the duty to which these brave men are exposed, and nothing, we understand, can surpass their cheerfulness and ala crity.

The first ship fitted oat by the Rhenish West India Company. has sailed from Ilansbarg to Purt•au-Prince, or St. Domingo, laden' with a cargo of Germas manufactured goods. This attempt to rival England is bailed in Germany as a matter of mach commercial and political importance. Private letters are said to have been received from Paris of Tassday last with the price of the French Fends. This is variously stated. According to oar account the relates closed that day at 89f. 40r. ; another states they had reached so high as 89f. 75c. and a third report gives the closing price at 891. 70c.

There have, how ever, bees many instances of mange, besides those quoted ; but as these bate been of the usual character, for the purpose of collecting arms, we have abstained from occupying oar columns with the details. Thou chiefly occurred in the county of Kilkaany ; but other outrages and threatening notices have also appeared in the county of Dublin.

No one has everesteeded it, in the ins-1 penance of the subjects with which it ham to deal. not is the importance of the crisis which hangs over its preeoediegs. The Debate of last sight in the Com mon% lavolve% in elm% Myles which lack& all that MOCKS, the we/fare sad happiness of the noised king bow. It is set Itelasel only that is emseerastl is Lord Lostwexasaas's phut for resserieg truniptillity se that emery. The fetv of &Owl Woe le ieteleei is tile ,- f~M ehrufitmr; of that policy which diet,44 the measmre.-: If coercion is to be the only remedy for misery, Ned consequent dissatisfaction in Ireland, it will and most he equally so in England; for we Ilarel dissatis faction 'floats here as well as in oar sister isle. and we have my Lord LOXDONDEPtiIIf to govern 1' here as completely as be governs in Ireland. '1 his, we confess, is a melancholy prospect ; for the Hon.e consented to his Lordship's propositions. Yet, we do Dot despair; fur the Commons have to take into con sideration, by and bye, their own dish hses, and parr• haps they may not then think that new coercion. are the remedy most fit for their unhappy ease. Thb alone it is on which we rely for the country's re demption from the rain which threatens it. If the gentry of England, when their own sores Lome to be probed, can endure the rough hand of Lord LONDON- Damn-, and not rise as cue man to resist his unre lenting quackery, England will be gradually reduced se the prestos state of Ireland, and thence to a state of as great slavery as ever cursed any ancient or any modern people. Lord LONDONDERRY, as if aware that mate's minds might perceive the full extent of the et ermity of his policy, soot►ingly said (speaking of the Habeas Corpus Art) " he was least disposed to adopt that which would deny to any of Ms Majesty's , subjects the advantages of that Act." We plainly say, we do not believe his Leo& ship. This is harsh langeage, best it grows ea of his Lordship's long course of conduct. Is his tenderness fur Ireland become, on a sodden, so evident, that a single protestation of his shall make us believe in it ? Ireland owes the visit that unhappy country, to his Lordship's ignor. ante, or to some qnslity of his mind worse than ignorance. England has also owed to hint the share s►e has bad (at times) of like ezeesses--and we shall see still more of the same, is both countries, if he continnes to govern both, as he does at pre sent. His Lordship said, in Isis memorable speech of lass night—" 'I hese excesses were dictated by an invisible, unknown power." We cannot accede to the assertion. The power which has caused these egresses, is known to the whole world, and is not so far from his Lordship's own knowledge as he wouli insinuate. His Lordship's policy is no secret in Eu rope; and, i■ Entlan I, we are not blind, however patient we may he. Lord LONDONDMIXT, however emitioas, mould not help, in this very debate, betraying Ale hidings which dictate the policy of his Borers beat. both of England and Ireland. Speaking the outrages of tits latter country, be says— 'e They were not characterised by those re►ile priociples which pervaded all other part of the world !" Here we see betrayed the obi& 'epee of Lord Lottoormenny's mind, and also. thc erkple mipd of the HOLY ALLIANCI. All Europe (says his Lordship and the Alliance) is Infected with a desire for Reform. We must dragoon all the loathes of Europe out of this spirit; and that we may nor want an excuse for our &griming, we mast inveith them by our spies, or drive them by our oppression. into acts of desperation, sad open outrage. Them was a laugh in the House when ►is Lordship utterer' the above words. Well might the absurdity of them provoke laughter, if it were not for the solemn consi derations which dow from the view we bare of them. Bat they are melancholy wordy, as betraying too plainly the train of ideas which ran through his Lord. sbip's mind, when applying his system of coercimm to one " part of the world," infected with the disease of which he complained. The partly a:owed, and partly secret association among despots, to put down liberty throughout Europe (or as his Lordship calls it " all the world") was the issoceat caw. of the slip his Lordship bore made; and so fa•, at least. we are indebted to the Holy All ance.-ms Lord LowooNnsaav's sympathy with that holy thing, betrayed his mind into a moment's forgetfulness. which we may bail as fortunate to the cause of free. dom ; for the jealousy already awakened in the country will, it is to be hoped, grow into mere and greater jealousy. Lord LONDONDCRIT said—" He hoped he would not be called ea to explain why the Lord Lica tenant thought the suspensioa of the Habeas Corpus Act necessary. It was usual to repose that eoslidenee in Ministers on all oceasioas, that they may not be Billed upon to declare all the information that they may have acquired."—Here, again, we have secrets of the system pursued by his Lordship obtruded upon us. ....rho Habeas Corpus Act is suspended ; and, Maw Ministers may torture whom they please and they will be fools to themselves. if they do sot chase, for their victims, the men most capable of serving the cause of liberty, and most likely to defeat the unhallowed cause of its enemies. The whole character of this measure, proposed by Lord LosooN aaaaa , deserves the severest censure. No fmnadation was laid for it. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland did not Juana it. Parliament are to grant it. en the mere responsibility of Ministers—that is, is tether words, of Lord Lo . racy. Mr. C. ORAXT said, while he reprobated the principle of the measure, soolded is the Marquess Wer.t.gther fir a due exem Mee si the powers proposed to be confides! to Lim. We Asset combat to say each coafidence. His meal time of the Oevernesest of Ireland, rider such men, is same enough to make as hesitate.

The formation of these donansh must appear terrible to those who do not know tie system of Government adopted in Ireland, pini y. lady for the last thirty yean ; bat when we ere such reports come from those who ban so long basked under the sunshine of Ministerial ranee, s e can see no diMculty In milkier reports of hooked. awl thousands being arrayed in the fate of the M. litary, and regular lists of killed sad wounded psi. fished, though there might not be a shot fired. We do not atttibete a deviation from truth to the Noble Marquess, as be bad it from trust-worthy seems, but this we assert from a perfect knowledge of the country and the people, as well as recast informs don from different parts of the country said to he infected with rebellious prisciples, that altheogi wises, tythe-proetors, and other tyranti have drives the peasantry of Limerick ind the adjacent cousin into recesses, the other parts, said to beatproachisg ts insurrection, would still remain quiet were they au ended by persecution, by continued law.meits,oraoes insult and unrelenting oppression. list this is pt op in the usual m to terrify the timid an make a diversion in (avant of their employers.
