We have riteired the following article from Lloyd's, dated this day, 1S •ilelock I— " The following very distressing informatiou has just been posted; it rests on the authority of a pri. rate letter s received this morning by a boon of die Ira rapectability - MITT. 30. - We l y re jolt leant, that sal of 111' ellavey of 95 lad from Eii oad. hosed to the Bakis, IL have bete loot, with all ' their crews, a few day. she, not far frees ?Unused.' " N. B. The Guttenburgh list, resolved today, is of the same date as the letter above, and maitre no mention of the circumstance." We ha►e recei►ed Papers this morning ► brought ►y the Gottenburgh Mail; but they do, out contain ono word of importance. By the last accounts from Ladle we learn ) that the d. rredatioos of the Ladroass appear to have Leal) , ceased altogether. They are said to have agreed to surrender. and deliver up tbiii.B4l4, and a Bcet of three hundred eal. proesellog to, , J ., Champee f o r that purpose, was passed brake pout. bay ships, Ilinchnsam,•:Bgrampare, Md Gsnlir tarns, which had arrived at Bombay from China, previous to the sailing of the ship Cllarlet Grant. —rob— Same letters from Itio Janeiro confirm the U. counts we have already given of the march of $ Portuguese army towards the territory of the Rio de la Plata, to overawe the Spanish South Anted.' cans, awl to induce them to submit to the Govern. scent of the House of Bragansa. It is not gene rally known, that at the time of the emigration of that Fittnity, from Portugal, a condition was in troduced in the Treaty with this country, under which Great Britain engaged to support the pre. tension. of the PaINCE &WENT to Spanish Arne_ r;ea, in the event of the establishment of a French king oa the Throne of the Permit State. It will be immediately seen that considerable embarrass. ment will arise under the complicated relations in which we stand towards Portugal, Spain, and the Colonial Dependencies of the latter. It appears that the French Government is resum ing woe influence over the destinies of the Island Of St. Domingo. General Rmaun, who was sent from France to treat with PCTION I seems to have nut successfully accomplished the object of his 6.1101 . He gained the confidence of that Chief t4ll, by quelling the insurrection of Jereasie, with. ° Ol firing a shot or shedding any blood, as we have swell in a former Paper. As ham as the insets. gents returned peaceably to their homes, the Ge. ne:al repaired to Port.au.Prince, where - PO*4W iha.l entrusted him with the committal of his army, aalounting to 14,000 men, with which he was pre paring to march against CURISTOPUS. General LA MAR. who, with a considerable body of troops, was at the Mule, had been .killed by 'a canuon.baii, in an engagement with, Cikatecorita4 army. Our Readers will see, that we have made the utmost etertions to procure the earliest anti fullest account of the proceedings of the AGGREGATE MEETING of the FREEMEN and FiteLnoenues of the CITE of Donuts', assembled on Tuesday last, at the Royal Exchange, to take into consideration the necessity of adopting some effectual measures for the Repeal of the Union ; and we believe, it will be found that much of this Report we have ex elusively. Be this as it may, we have relinquished every other object to make way for this. Et en the otettion, whether Banknotes have commenced their career of depreciation or not ; and, in fact, whether the Bank and the Funds are solvent or nut, has appeared to us of leas importance than a question which touches the present situation of Ire held, and developcs her teniper and her views. The Bank of England may crumble into dust, or be turned into a now Hall fur Rag.fair clothes; and the funds may disappear in the metamorphosis, and the INORPENDENCE and CONSTITUTION of Eng. hind survive..-....8ut the loss of Ireland is to Englund her lest wound, under which she mush expire. With the enemy she has to resist, and will here tq guard against, even under very wise and cioderate counsels on the part of her government, Ireland is of more importance to England than three-fourths of all her own counties. Ireland, by the fertility of her soil, her harbours, and her happy scite in the ocean, is naturally formed to amass an amount of surplus wealth, for the general defence of the Empire, tar beyond the compa. rative natural means of Britain.—Remove the obstructions to her agriculture and commerce, and she will have that accumulated wealth, and you will have your full share of it, for all purposes of national prosperity and national defence. But it is not only the wealth (which you fiud you sadly want) you may gain from and by Ireland, under proper management, but a population to fight your Inttles you may also gain—and such a popu lation ! hardy in formation and habit—daring to any extreme that sanity can :attempt—impetuous as madness—and as firm and immoveable in purpose as Patience herself I—Such is the population you may have at your will, and with all its warm affections too, for Ireland loves even more ardently than she hates! Well, then, Is there any question that can enter into a rea. sonable co.opetition with this of Ireland ? The Bank ! Let the Bank and its Orators stand still where they are, till we have looked at Ireland; eml Whenever Ireland moves, let us never keep our eyee remote or wandering from her! And is it of no moment, Ireland such as we have described, and your perils such as you know them to be, to consi der what the wants and wishes of Ireland are, and what your conduct ought to be? Let us, then, have a little more reasoning on this subject. We have painted the distresses of Ireland to you ; we heist shown their origin in the kind of domination rebid this country has exercised upon Ireland, but More especially iu that most cruel, insolent, and op. pressive deed of the Mims' ; we have shown you all the natural, the inevitable consequences of the Union, in the langour of Ireland's agri. culture,; in the withering up of her com merce; in the want of food among her labouring families, and absence of peace and sickness of heart, amoog' her merchants, manufacturers, and ether traders; we have echoed, and re.echoed to you the consequent cries of Ireland, and have re. fleeted her tears ! What more will you have, to be awakened to a sense of her sufferings, and a coat. punction for your injustice? You cannot have more for these objects! to stir these feelings in you! And if you must have more from Ireland, it will be of another nature, and be directed to another object. Appeals to your generosity, appeals to your pity, caunnot be pushed fur ther. They will bear no increase in the heart. rending misery of the scene, they will bear no heightening by any other "of form of expres elon What is then to follow must be addresed to your fears, and beware it does not awaken them—WHEN IT IS TOO LATE I—We have said thus much, to draw the attention of our Readers, before all things, to the proceedings at the late Meeting in Dublin. They will find enough in these to excite great and interesting feelings— they will see a vast assemblage of persons delibe. rating amid voting upon a question which had to do even with their very existence, as orderly as if it' bad been indifferent to them, yet as effectually as if no other passion but what regarded them could enter their bosom. The whole conduct of the Meeting, it is impossible to meet with too high praise. The capital of Ireland has set the two-fold example of what is ta bath. to save Ireland, and bow It isconstitutionitlyAswell as effectually, to be done. The statements mid arguments in the Petition to the Howse of Commons we must refer our readers to, at length. There are passages we would mark, but that our Readers cannot fail to feel their force. Of the Petition to his Majesty thesame may be said. 'The Speeches are full of the ablest reasoning, and best-toned feeling. It would be almost invidious to `notice pirticular speeches, or particular passages. But, to shew what the feeling in Ireland of the necessity of Repeal is, and how it displaces all otherfeeliegs, we must observe,thatMr.O'CoENELE, a Raman Catholic Leader, In Ireland, ended his • THE sTA.T.Esnkfc ' • umult• 4 y'-; ~.1. elotititiattipeech, bye:claiming- 44 if Mr. Pt ncavis, " would eater into a treaty with tee, milking it a, " Condition, that provided I would consent to a IC re-enaction of the Penal Code against the Ca. " (holies, the Act of Union should be repealed, " I declare to God, I world accept the condition." —There are no terms which can adequately express the value of Sir J. itIDDALL'd conduct On this oc. easion ; nor can any, do justice to the sense the Meeting had of his high worth. Tho best of thanks the whole people could give him were also his. Although there were more than 10,000 persons assembled in the immediate vicinity of the Ex. change, no disorder prevailed. The populace see the dawn of deliverance at hand approaching through peaceable means, and feel their misery too deeply to interrupt its progress by any folly of theirs. All this grows out of the necessity of the ItrticAt, and the CO.OPERATION of ALL PARTIES to Obtain it. Ireland is at length happy I—shappy in her view of her interest!—and happy she will be in the result! Mr. FOSTER'S friends slid not, it seems, expect the people would conduct themselves with the win. don) that should give no opportunity of coercion. It is stated to us, that 8000 troops, with a large park of artillery, were la preparation for auy Previous to the dissolution of the Meeting, a Re.. solution, proposing a piece of plate, value 100 gui. neas, to Sir JAS. RIDD %la, was unanimously carried. Alf. RANDAL JACKSOW is a prolific subject for comment, but we are sorry we must postpone the further consideration of his speech at the Dank Meeting till Monday, to make wdy for the even more important subject of the NEW Opposition in IRELAND to the unhappy measure of the UNION. Mr. JACKSON' has found some abettors among the Morning Papers, and we shall advert to their argu. ments in the general discussion of the question. The critique on the Lyceum Theatre, contained in the Herald of this d.y, implies a censure on our observations of yesterday, on the Play of the hypo. trite. We shall not pan this unnoticed; fur the question now raised is, in truth, of much impor tance. We shall only now say, that the Theatrical Critiques of the Iler old are remarkable for their discrimination generally, end sometimes for their wit, but very rarely for any good moral tendency. Thursday morning his ble.ttarry and the Ptie. ceases AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, took an airing hi Windsor Park till twelve o'clock. On Thursday, the Dnke of Crtatirce, teconi. panied by the Duchess of YORK and a young lady, visited Westminster Abbey, and remained tiewing the wax-work and other curiosities from t* o'clock till four, Yesterday the Disko of CtrurixßLAND walked to Covent Garden Theatre, and viewed the interior by day-light. His Royal Highness has scarcely any remains of his wounds. The Paincess of W AXIS intends, In a far days; to visit Tunbridge Wells. His Grace the Archbishop orYonx, with a se. feet party of rank and' fashion, are now sojourn. ers at Lowther-hall, In Westmoreland, the magnia. cent seat of the Earl of LONSDA LE. Lord DUDLEY and WARD, we are happy to state, is perfectly recovered from his late iudis. position. Sir Wur.rass SCOTT lately arrived in Dublin, with the intention of making a tour through a part of Ireland. Mrs. Fox was taken suddenly ill •on Monday morning at St. Ann's-hill, near Chertsey. Dr. Pope was sent for express frost Staines. She is now considered in a fair way of recovery. Lord COCHRANE and his brother have been at Badajos, and on the 3d ult. set out for Lisbon. Tho workmen have commenced clearing away the ruins of St. James's .Palace, occasioned by the late 6re, preparatory to re-building the apartments which were destroyed. The benches In the walks are repairing, and five or six new ones are to be added. A Penny Post Office has been established in Bath and the neighbouring villages. By a letter received from an Officer in India, we understand a grand expedition is fitting out, con. sisting of the 56th, 69th, 78th, 80th, 84th, 86th, and part of the 47th Regiments of Font, with 3000 Sepoys ; they are to rendezvous at the island of Madagascar, and when joined by troops from the Cape, are to proceed against the Isle of France. A Battalion of Marines is orderded to be formed for some new enterprize. The men are now select. ing at Pertinsouth, and it is supposed that the com. mend will be given to Major Savage, of the Ma.l rines. A Company of the Bth Royal Veteran Battalion is under orders to embark, at a musmeot's police s fur Heligoland. 4..‘ A Court Martial is now sitting., skt-OWehriAo ‘ Captain HOPPER, of the Id West "inhviielVflitili: for disrespectful language to his Comeratkilfitolll. co., Colonel TeRRa. Major Paton's, bf Northampton Militia, is Judge Advocate. • A strong illustration of our " increasing corn, coerce" and our " growing prosperity" (if the proofs which daily present themselves upon 'this. head needed corroboration) is afforded by ari spection of our Custom-house entries. There bet been no export of any description from this tow* since the 3d ins,. ! nor has there been any impail since the sih 1! . (Galway Chion.) It is in contemplation to render the communicate ties betwien England and Ireland shorter and,sners conveuient, by the North-West of Scotland.

It is said Cork has thriven by the Union, and by Mr, Fos. TM's measures founded upon it. lam no Foliti. ciao; but if I may venture a conjecture, which fact and reason scent to unite in sanctioning, I do in my soul verily believe that we (for lam a s cal vr of broad cloth) have to attribute all our mistur. 'tones to that baleful Union; and I implore Goo Os to dispose the heart of the best of Ki n ds, and the best of men, as that the repeal of that ruinous Act may relieve the manufacturing class..s troni their present deplorable condition." Wednesday last, a circumstance, which tlnsgrves the peculiar attention of our Legir t ;attire, oc at the Public Office, Marlborough-rot -el. A re spectable butcher, of Isiewp..rt-market y ei he, it appeared, had a abort time back, thr.ingl, .lie in. vanity of hii wife, been seisco , l and carried otl to a private mad:house, at Hexton, made his es, ape on Tuesday evening last, and called upon a Mr. Wat. son, a neighbour of his, to _consult with him, who received him very kindly. In Osamu:an t. 4114 th• tWO keepers ruthed into thr house him, and were abort to drag. him away ; but Mr. Wat. son and several of his friends rusructi kilt, and sent the two keepers to the watch.hocse, where, they remained all night, and at twvive o'clock the next morning were taken before the Magistrate of the above office. It was clearly proved by the friends'ef the butcher, and acknowledged the keepers themselves, that he was in a sound state of mind; in consequence of which, the Magistr4o ordered that he should be regularly discharged.— Himanity demands that private mad-houses be put under the inspection of Public Authorities, and that it be made highly criminal to send to, or re. ceive any person into a private mad-house, with. out an order from some Public Authority, sanc. tioned by a due Medical Report. The letter your Correspondent A. B. in The Statesman of Septem. her 9, gave some excellent hints on this subject, and we hope it has met the eye of sou,e of our ' benevolent Legislators, who du watch over the` interests of humanity, and in matters too that are not so immediately connected with the greater eon. terns of Government. On Monday, the 17th inst. Mr. Alderman BAT. TEN was unanimously elected Mayor of the ancient city of Rochester for the year ensuing. Mr. Mums, of Covent-garden Theatre, is at . Brighton, for the recovery of his health. He viewed the Theatre on the Sunday previous to its opening for the first time. He had not been on the pre. miser before since the day he attended the Prince of WALES, in laying the first stone for the building. Two new candidates have started for the situation of Keeper of Cold-bath-fields prison : namely, Ha. milton, an Officer of Marlborough-street, and Ad. kips, of Bow.street. There are expected to be leveed other candidates for the situation, and the Magistrates will make their election at the next Middlesex Sessions. ANOTHER Guosv.—A. second "perturbed spi. rit," it appears, is playing Its pranks at Yahoo, in • Soraersetshire, which is nut an unaseasureable distance from Sampford. With respect to motive ancrobject, the consideration that the Michtscluas, Quarter is fast approaching, may prove a solution. Molyneaux, the black pugilist, has .produced another man of colour to fight any ten stone man. Crib is not yet in condition to kid Molyneaux. The Provincial Papers are chiefly occupied with accounts of harvests home and plentiful crops. A boy, eleven years of age, being entrusted by his muter, who lives at Rarrole, near North/imp. ton, on Tuesday se'nnight, to carry a loaded gun some distance, wantonly levelled it at several per. sons, and at last dischargettit among a gronpe of pretty little innocents, who were playing at a tut. tace.doer.
