rsl sate. This brave militia now shares with the troop. of the lies the bosom sad fatigue of guarding the pa late of the King, who repeatedly testifies to them his satisfaction. It is said that his Majesty proposes im mediately to have a general review of the volume= 0. the 9th lastest. it appears. that the Menicipslit of Madrid presented as address to the King. The following passages show the ',orgy sad decision with which it is animated : " Folly convinced that the late events of which this heroic city has been the thew,. will dispel from the Royal soul of your Majesty these melancholy illusions through which it had been blimded by perfidious men. not less the enemies of the nation than of year Majesty. the Constitutional Municipality of the capital of the Ruins, hastens to bring to the foot of the Throne the most dune expression of its sentiments. and of its wishes for the preservation of the State and of the Coo ' stitutiomal Monarchy. The Municipality believes, Sire. that it can never render to its King a more valuable ser• vice then to represent to him, at the prop ir time. the ne cessity of adopting prompt end energetic measures, which suay sue the country for ever by getting rid, in a cer tain and radical manner, of the evils which afflict Ir. " It is still time, Sire. but perhaps it is the last time, to remedy the evil. The means are simple, and being gees adopted, the social edifice will st Ind on such solid fouadations, that neither the present generat've, nor that which %ill replace our grandchildren. shall ever see it shaken. But the first and chief means consists, in your Majesty's becoming, at last, convinced. that the real friends to your life and year glory. are the defenders of the fundamental law which guarantees them both; and is your placing yourself with sincerity at the head of the cause of the musky. and giving public and parti colu piedpe, ankles soesider yourself identilisa with it. • • ' " In order to "tee the first preof that year Majesty has sincerely embraced that cause loathing as so necessary as to appoint, in replacing the retired Ministers, men Itsowm to be illustrious and to be devoted to the system, and endowed with an energy and an activity capable of reanimating the social body, sow languid and weak through the bad faith of s great number, and throagle the indolewee and intemperate., of others. Your Court, Site, er rather, your domestic circle, is composed (such is the coneictioe) of permanent conspirators against liberty. " The keeping near you a single one amongst them would deprive your Majesty a confideura of your faithful Spaniards, and never more then sow WlOl It so necessary to the safety of the State and of your Majesty that you should recover that confidence. An set, not less 'detesting, Sire, fur the restoratlos of the public tranquillity end the seeurityof all, is the exemplary and prompt punishment of the trsitois and perjured men that have shed the innocent blood of those whose only crime was remaining faithful to their sacred oaths." As article from Corfu states that the Greek Govern- , meat has adopted a new mode of paying the temps a.,w fighting for the independeuce of their soustry.— It has substituted [sad for money; sad the isequestru lion of all the domains belonging to the Selina, the Vokonfs and the Mosques, affords as extent of tern. tory more than salhcient to pay the services of a large brut/ for a number of years.

From these grievances we be relieved, unless that vicious mad usconstitotional system is annihilated, w►ich bas been the cause of the one, and which is deeply interested io the maintenance of the other.

I answer without hesitation, though 1 conceive the mode of operation must be left to that assembly, to which alone it can be referred, that the country ought not to be satisfied with any scheme of Reform, which would not provide for the abolition of that 'ado' and sneezed -1 totional iolluente, which bas so long prevailed in the 1 House of COMIDOSS, keeping both the Sonnies and the Subject in thraldom.

KENDAL BUSHIL LORD Ciller JUSTICS Mu 111.11 - JE;I : e; COURT Of lillYo'll BENCH IN IRILAND. MT LORD—A recent detection of a horrible crime here impels me to obtrude upon your Lordship with a migration. which your character for humanity and a strict sense of justice gives me reason to hope you will adopt. even though it route to you anonymously. On your appointment to the office of his Majesty's SolicitorMeeeral for Ireland. sixteen or seventeen years ago, you were said to have determined to confine your future practice to the Court of Chancery,* except in par• titular eases. Ins very few instances did you deport from that de tensioation sad else of them was when yen appeared in the Rec order's Court of Dublio, shout ten years since, as leading Counsel in the prosecution of Byrne, for imputing to the Honourable and Right Reversed Percy Jocelyn, the Lord Bishop of Perlis, en attempt to commit a certain crime. Your fee on that oecesion was, I believe, exactly one hundred guineas, and I remember your warm eulogium of the Right Rev. Lord for his comma in coming for ward to prosecute under such circumstances. I most re ligiously believe that you then considered his Lordship an Innocent and an injured man. Byrne was convicted. I will not say that conviction waseatirely owls, to the ability and elcumenee of Mr. Bush.; but I well recollect the effect produced spots the Court, the Jury, and the auditory, by your powerful appeal to their feelings. Most certainly it Insured to unfortunate Byrne no mitigation of punishment; for, having been sentenced to be publicly whipped through the streets of Dublin (from Newgate to the Royal Ex change, aid back again), the Sheriff, In the zealous dis charge of his duty, superseded, for that day, the com mon executioner, and procured from the Barrack a drummer, nearly six feet high, whose strength and dex terity were fully proved by the manner in which be la cerated the back of the unhappy culprit. Byrne hors the punishment without a groan—oe his being e arned into the gaol from the ear, to which be had been tied, be solemnly declared his innocence, and burst isle tears. I forget whether his sentence did or did not include transportation, if it did not, the sense of degradation did that which the Judge decreed not. Byrne left the country, and has not sine been heard lit. Such are the circumstances of Byrne's ease, I find, precisely—l know they are substantially correct. You will, lam sore, recollect all this with pain—it will, trete, operate as an example to future lawyers, to refrain from esageratiag charges, or exciting prejudice against prisoners, an ther•statensent of cases—and the fat* of Byrne will, I trust, have the salutary effect of render ing Jurors still morescropulons in the discharge of their duty, when deciding upon the life or character of their follow-man. I now come to the suggestion of which I spoke in the commencement, and which my intimate knowledge of the exceltence of your heart Wnoes use to think you may have anticipated, after learnisg the detection here, to which I alluded, namely, that you will cause strict inquiry to be made after unfortunate Byrne, and (if he still lives), cause such reparation to be made for the tot ters of Ins person and the destruction of his character, as any be within your power; and le making such re paration, you will, no doubt, be ennoilleently assisted by the noble and highly respectable family of hie prose cutor. I trust it is unnecessary for me to apologise for this appeal to yoar Lordship's justice. 1 have the honour to be, &c. &c. _.• • ....- - Gif Leasiod Fdray. DISTRESS OF THE POOH IN IRELAND. (PROM THU DIAILIE MORNING POST OF TUESDAY.) We regret to find, by accounts from the country, received yesterday, that , a period bee not yet been pet to the melancholy state of destitution under which so large a portion of oar fellow-countrymen in the south and west of Ireland have so long suffered. It would appear even that the distress approaches nearer to the Capital. By the Resolutions of the Managing Committee of a Fund, established for the Relief of the Poor at Moats, we regret very much to observe, that those who should be the first to come forward on such an occa sion, have been applied to in vain ? This Is dreadful heartlessness. Landowners of the Neighbourhood have refused to contribute to the relief of the starv ing People! (I.OY TBZ CBRONICIA OF lIATURDAT.) We feel it to be our painful duty to report that die trees in our city is daily assuming a more aggravated appearance, and that unless some immediate assistance be afforded, many of our fellow-creatures must perish from actual starvation. In making this statement we do lot speak unadvisedly. The weekly expenditure of the City Committee, to whose immediate protection nearly 20,099 fellow-creatures look up tor their daily food and support, is something short of 400/.; and we speak from authority when we say, that scarcely this suns, being but a siagle week's pro►ision, now re mains in the hands of the Treasurer. A bounty on potatoes, and other incidentals not yet included in the dishursemeut, must considerably reduce this sum. Weduesday last, two cars, laden with flour, from Roeisiaills to this city, were taken off by the pea. I sentry near Derrygalvin, in the Liberties; inch acts are not only disgraceful, but must impose a hea►y tax on the parish where such plunder is committed. Tcsisz,Juir 17.—Mrs. Casey, (the wife of James Casey, who has been some days since committed to our gaol, for the atrocious murder of his mothe•rio law, Mrs. Kelly,) has been apprehended, aid it is ex pected will be transmitted to gaul this day, antler the warrant of John Raymond, Esq. as an accomplice in that deed of horror, the murder of her own Mother ! I I She is quite a young woman, woman, we understand, not above the age of fifteen, and is very near her con finement. Her mother was also pregnant, and within a few India of ber confinement, when b irbarously murdered. The above named safortuoate woman (the wife of Casey,) has just this moment, passed through this town to the County tiaol. A man named Edmond Carr, has also been this day committed by Mr. Ray , mond. charged with being a prin. ipal in the assassi nation of Conway, the Tithe PrJcsor, who WAS cruelly mardered some months since. Mr. Alcoa, proprietor of the estate of Wilton, is the county of Wezford, three years ago, forgave hi• tenants to the amount of 16,000 f. of f rent; and about a month ago be called his tenants together, forget, them again about 13.0001., redeem' their rents to half, and gave them new leases;' his lands formerly set for from 13•. to 40s. are nuw set from 7s. to 231. per sere. THE POPULATION OF-TURKE lAV IS ()Atli -Ig. The population of Turkey generally, instead ur in fireasing or remaining stationary, setters every wear a diminution of many thousands, the number of births being exceeded by the number of deaths. From 1 is 1814, the Plague and the Sma.l Pov swept off njt wards of four millions of souls. So late a* I 7 6 4, the umber of Turks in Asia and Eurepe u as estimated at 12 millions, and they do not now amount to more than 6 millions. In their outset, the lurks rapidly .Iwereased, because many of the nations conquered by does embraced Itlabometanism, but this cause has Tong ceased to operate. The Number of 'larks in Europe, we are 'wired, by those who have had the best means of informing themselves, do not amount to more Chao 1.200.000, of whom somewhat about 400,000 inhabitConstantinopie and the neighbourhood. Without entering into minor distinctions; the M iaowing is an estimate of the respective division/.a the population :--o• - ! Turks, . Hebrews and Armeniane, MOM Greek Christians. . . . 7. 099 0 0 Bulgarian Christians, . . 2,000,090 Albanians, GOO MO In all, This is merely the population of the Continent of &rope and the Was& of the Archipelago, without inclnclisg the Henke of the islands situated os the toast of Asia Miser, lonia, and Acolia, as fee as Tri• Waned. The Albanians are partly Mahontetso and partly Christian ; bat they are not very decided altar rents to either religion. The Malcontent) part may be 400,000. These, however, with about 3110.010 Mahometass, originally Greeks, might easily be con verted into Christians. The Greeks on the roast of Asia, with those of Candle aaJ Cyprus, who are not included in the above estimate, amount to wore than two millions. it is well known that there are besides a number of Greeks settled in Russia, Transylvania, Hungary, Austria, and Dalmatia.
