LONDON: TOURSDAT EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1822. STOCK EXCHANGE, TEN O'CLOCK. The market is not so brisk this morning as yester day, as all parties are impatiently waiting for the retail of the interview to-roorrow with the Lords of the Treasury. A large bolder of the Five per Cents., it is said, has sent a petition to the Lords of the Treasury, begging they would change the boor of n.eeting from one to four o'clock, that no advantage =ay be taken, at the Stock Exchange, of the result. Consols opened this morning at 7s&, and for next Account; and the 5 per Cents. 1044. It is again stated that a message is expected hourly from the Bank, that they will discount at 4 per Cent. The foreign Funds 154 morning are as follow : French i per Cents 90 Spanish bper Cent Bonds 39 New Spanish Loan Prussian Bonds fee Danish ILIIVEN O'CLOCK. A repast prevails that letters have bee■ received this morning announcing that hostilities will immedi ately commence between Russia and the Porte: Accounts from Falmouth. received this morning, state. that a vessel is arrived from Batavia is 104 4.ys. The master, it appears, lies dead in the cabin, and three of the crew have died on the passage, and have been thrown overboard. The remainder are very sickly. Letters frees Savannah of the 22d Jan. have been re ceived this morning, but no papers. Advice& from Batavia, to the 9th of November. state tbat the sugar crops there have entirely failed. We copy the following from a New England paper. of the 14th of January :—The manufattarera of New England have advanced, during the past year, in a ratio far exceeding the more eager anticipation of the friends of domestic industry. It is • fact worthy of notice, that some of the very individuals, merchants. dealers in British cloths, wbo, in Boston, raised flags during the war, as indicative of their determination to resist the Government is presecatiog unwires which ahould prevent an unrestricted trade with Great Bel tail, some of the same merchants who scouted at the idea of American manufactures, are now investing their money for the erection of large cloth and woollen factories. Oa • sales is the Hesse of Repreerstativer, of Mr. Whitetail. it wee rewired, that the Cassius, for - naval alleles he instructed to fncintre late the 'Moe' dienry of an; horising the building and evil Omit of an additional number of small ls of war, of a else not exceeding 12 ions each, for the purpose of pro tecting the commerce oldie United States in the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico. The Irish papers received to day evince that the pro- 1 ceedings of the Sifhial Commission are not soficient to restrain the spirit of outrage io the South of Ire laud. Besides the attempt described in soother part of our paper, and which was accidentally productive of calamitous effects on some individualsbelongiog tear army, more than half a dozen houses are stated, by the Limerick and amemell papers, to have been at tacked and entered for arias ; and two hare been beret, in consequence, it is supposed, of the claims of the former tenants, agreeably to Captain Roues —A farmer had died of the wounds lie bsd re ceived from some of the Insurgents, and another man had been beset in the street of Tipperary, and in stantly lolled with stones. Several persona have been apprehended, in whose houses were found part of the property which was taken away at the late burning and devastation of Mr. Geraghty's Glebe-house. The Magistrates of the county of Limerick were so meet on Monday last, to apply to the Lord Lieutenant to plate the county of Limerick under the losarreetionAct, and the Magistratei of the city were to assemble the same day. On Saturday last, there were a hundred persons in the county Limerick gaol on charges pot bailable. At Cork there were on Friday on the Ca lendars, 306 names, of whom nearly 200 were for Whiteboyism. Paris papers to the 19:h bring accounts from yi n''', stating, that an English courier bad brought despatcher, containing, it is said, the copy of a note, 'which the Marquess of Londonderry has caused the Ambassador to present to the Court of St. Petersburg, I. the name of his Britannic Majesty, and the object of which is, to maintain peace between Russia and the Porte. It is added, however, that England declares Intonation of observing the strictest neutrality in . OM of a rupture, reserving to itself power to send re-1 Ipforcements of troops to Corfu, and a more numerals I squadron to the Mediterranean. Persons who have Ma means of knowing the opinions of the Austrian Cabinet, assert, that there is slot the least probability ert war. On the other band, the Austrian Authorities' In Illyria, are stated to have received news that the darnel orders have been sent to all the Pachas of Es. votress Turkey, and assemble all men able to bear OBS. Two armies are to march, one to the Mona, sad the other to Epirus. The Cotensanders-in-ChiHl are Josef Pada, and Ibrabim Paclia. Tartan haw alas been sent to the Pachas of Asia to send numerates" isigsaf troops to Europe, which will jeda tie Ottoman amine ea the Prath, and oat the left bask of its ,' IDaiielboo--After all that bad been said of the termi nation of the war betwarn the Porte apd the Per n, be it is asserted, in letters from Odessa, to'continue. be &Inch of Persia is stated to ha v e giv e n an eras e answer to the English Resident at his Coon, and who endeavoured to propose terms of accommodation. The Greeks who bad taken refuge in Russia have only been enjoined to retire farther into the southern provinces, not to give umbrage to the Turks. Prince Michael Seim, who had been sent away from Kischenoff, the capital of Bessarabia, has received passports to proceed to the Mores, by the way of Marseilles or of Leghorn. Lettere of the 15th of January received at Vienna from Constantinople affirm that Prince Ali, who was stated to have died of the cholera morbos, was alive, and in good health. There is still a numerous party that denies the accounts of the Austrian Observer, and considers them as coming from the house of Roths child, which is charged with the financial operations of the Court of Austria. By neonate from Madrid we learn that the Sittings of the Cortes on the 6th and 7th, were devoted to the discossioa of the projct oo the Press; and that the first ten articles had been adopted. The Marquess de Campo Verde has announced officially to the Minister at War, on the 3d instant, that he had made his entry into Seville on the said day, at five in the afternoon, with the Political Chief Albistu. They had been re ceived at Torreblanca, about a mile from the city, by many Generals and other officers who paid their re upsets to them. The General Mega was to..areive at Madrid between the 14th and 16th of this month. lie had left Valencia on the 3i, to repair to Anew, whence he would continue his journey by Andalusia. His lady had arrived at Madrid on the sth. The close of the Extraordinary Session of the Cortes is an nounced fur the 14th of this month. Agreeably to the constitution, the first preparatory junta for the or dinary Session, which should open on the first of March, will take place on the 15th, and it is in the second that the President of the first month of the Session will be named. It is generally believed that Admiral Valdes, the Ex-Minister of war will obtain the majority; this would be a guarantee for the Liberals. Some persons, however. think, that opinions will be divided between Admiral Valdes and the Doke del Parque ; but it is more probable that the choice will fall upon the former. The brigadier Jeerer's'', who commanded at Cadis, was to repair to quarters at Cuidad Real. until the council of Generate. who are to try him, meet at Madrid. It is he himself who bas iasisted en being pat on his trial. The persons accused by the French flovernmat of having favoured the escape of Colonel 1./armee, awl Captain Laterderie, have bens tried.

We were extremely glad to find, that Mr. Win. last night, refused to postpone his motion relati►e to the Irish robes, which stood (and continues to stand) for the 26th inst. There is • perseverance in Mr. 111.31E'1l prosecution of his important public labours, which reflects great honour upon his name, and can. not fail to produce lasting advantages to the nation.- The subject of the Irish Tythes, is one of the ►eq highest importance. Perhaps, no measure is so well calculated to remo►e the discontents of Ireland, as an abolition of her Tythes. We belie►e Catholic Emancipation would not gi►e more satisfaction to the Irish Catholics. The injustice of collectiag Tythes from Catholics, fur Protestant clergymen, is gross and palpable, and is more hated by the persons who suffer ender it, than all their other grievances. A Protestant clergyman frequently deri►es a large income from a liarish, nine-tenths of whose inhabitants are Catholics, and ►oluntarily support their (ran i Priest out of the scanty pittance which is to find them food. Is it difficult to imagist the anguish of the Catholic, when he sees his cattle dri►en from his fields, by a rapacious Proctor, at the point of the bay onet too, in order to feed a fat and lazy Rector while his own children are crying for more bread than he is able to gi►e them ? Can any mode of entwines reconcile him to that? Rut if coercion cannot: reconcile him, will it deter him from taking re►enge, when the hour of vengeance presents itself? Certainly not! and what should pre vest your ►eleasing the Catholic peasantry from the burgher of the tythes? Where there are no Pro- testants, there can be no need for a Protestant Clergy. man ; and where there is no need for a Rector, or Vicar, there need be no trims. Shall we be im pudently sold, that tythes are as much the property of the incumbent, as the land is that of the land.' 'owners? and that odes are the rent of the teeth put of the land, as much as the revenue which the laid iwur draws from his estate is rent fur the other dee parts ? This absurd stuff has been uttered by elms of tbe hirelings of Government ; but you will never *Ms, the native good sense of the Irish believe in it ; nor bill you obtain an assent to the proposition, from any sensible and honest Englishman. The Ministers of religion are to be maintained, at the public ex pease. Their should be such as will support their dignity, and should be as assured as the Revenue of the Cr0wn...... This, usteestiosably. every Clergy. man is saddest Is. wording to all common weir and justice. Religion is the only safe foundation for the moral well-being of a country ; and its honest Ministers are a nation's best friends. Bat this pro vision can be had without the craclion of tythes, which is the most burthensome and injurious mode of raising the sum necessary for the Clergy. We wilt. not waste our time, nor trespass upon oar readers, by detailing the evil. resulting from the tythe systems.— They are known to every school boy ; and it would, even in England, be a wise thing to abolish tythes wholly, giving a proper revenue to the Church. It would give new sources to our wealth and prosperity. Bat in Ireland, the abolition of 'riles is a measnre of strict necessity. You can have no peace in Ireland with Protestant tythes (we may call them) and a Catholic population. CONCILIATION must be applied to the wounds of that country, if you would heal them. Shedding of the blood of her unhappy inhabitants will not wash out the sense of the wrongs you have heaped upon her, although it should flow in larger torrents than any with which you have hitherto fattened the ground. A resident gentry, an absence of tythes, a participation of all the eulnantagee of the English Cowan:ion. (which includes Catholic Emancipation,) a mild and equitable Government, are the materials of conciliation. Let them, sec• cessively, be employed in rearing so desirable structure. May we see our House of Commons commence with tythes, on the day of Mr. Humes motion ! The aggregate Catholic Meeting in Dublin, of Thursday last, have agreed to petition both Houses of Parliament. Let not only the doors, but the hearts of each House be open to them. The same meeting have also agreed to petition the Kiss, praying for his Majesty's mott gracious interposition in behalf of his Irish Roman Catholic subjects. May the Sovereign, in granting the prayer of this pe tition, spew that he in not unworthy of the munifi cent gifts which both countries (Ireland and England) have poured upon his Majesty and his illustriou House ! So prays every good man is his entire realms. Mr. LENNARD'S motion for a re.lection of the Ciril Lest, our readers will fiod, is postponed till the 27th inst. We would have been glad to see even this short delay avoided. Reduction tot the proper revenues of the Crown, and of the great Officers of State, most be adopted before the nation will be either benefitted or satisfied : and here, we cannot help noticing the .di lemma Ministers have gut into with their • plan of StockjWiag. The additional Malt duty must be repealed Dow. There is so going back front that.— And Ministers cannot get the million and a half out of the Five per Cent. Foodholders. We observed (when Lo.d LONDONDMIRT made hie famous speech) th at thormht that resource would fail then. k „„„ of ow other quarter from which they can draw the willton aed rs-half, but from the revenue itself, by retrrach mast and lopplitge rnt from the Civil List lad Fr ett Oates of Stair, ate tie most racietst and prope r t h at oars be farad. A large portion of the tine of the Haase of Cetorccas last sigh', was very properly occupied with the case o f Mr. Hamar HUNT, and the state of the Royal Bs►gl ad Scotland. At present ere eau only direct oar It es4 6 4 , atteatios to the discussions to which these subj ect , gave rise; but as they will be brought forward an!, on on distant day, we shall then take ociasies to devote to them the conaideratios they deserve. An intimation was delivered yesterday inotaisc from Lord Liverpool and the Chaacellor of the Es. chequer, through Mr. Hasse, the Secretary of th a g u , of England, that they wished to see the priatipal holders of Navy Five per Cents., at Fife-ho ne , to morrow forenoon, at 12 o'clock. This intimatio n art ,. dewed no great effect on the - Stock Etchance. Thee is considerable difference of opinion in the city with respect both to the propriety and the result of th , pies.
