I Mussn!mans into disobedleace. There never was a prospect of war so cherished in Russia as that is h ewer of the Greekr. Fanaticism ruse as high there as in Turkey; sod those who know the nature of a religions war mast be aware that the spirit which animates the combatants is sot easily repressed. The consegneaces are always snob as must shock humanity; bat these are of so importance to Princes. They care set wkat blood is spilled; if will be cleared off by a re Derii, and the victor rewarded according to the number of human lines be bas been isstramental in sa crificing. The days of Turkey in Europe are °lim bered. A throne built upteerstesh a despotic foonda tion must fall; it may, like a. sturdy bully, strut about is tempOrary majesty, but its day of decline ar rives. It is only by those States where the law. pro tect the. people is their rights and privileges, that a powerful and foreiga ~lay can aspect to be repelled. People ..re the sinews aad muscles of every State ; and if they . UMW% kept in a state of wholesome activity. it totters and falls.

Let these Stock jobbers withdraw the Per slang frost Bagdad—make the Orand Seigeer accept of Russian dictation; and Sir Thomas Maitland cage up all the Weeks** the lops of the bills and mous talus ; the end letttlt must out—the real state of TarLey mast be known, notwitirstaadieg these dein sloes. We shall not he deceived in oar hopes that the Turks can make no effectual tesisUnce to their ens. twits. To pat ►n sod to the most aggravated and wastos emelt/ea, and those moat savage barbarities daily ieditted on the Christian'', it is highly necessary that these inhuman monsters should be driven oat of Europe. Upos tbat principle, and that only, do we wish to see Europe freed from their dominion. In our paper of Monday we gave a brief statement of the ease of t►ree young ladies. rho were placed by an English gentleman, who was the fa tLer of two, and the uncle of one of them, in a boarding-school at Paris. Advantage, f t appears, was taken of his ailment. to conceit the young ladies to the church of Rome, and to make them re- n mace their duty to their father and guardian. Haring received oo satisfaction from the Commissary of Police, in his application fur their return to bin protection, be had presented a Petition to the Citatabee of Deputies for redress. This petition had been priated and sold in Paris, as it appears, ageiust the will of the petitioier, yet a translation has appeased in .England sad bees copied iota Emmy of the London papers. In this petition (Hr. Loveday), the I.:wallas. :dented ta, moos the arta employed to pervett ibe minds of the yogi% ladies. Aceordiag to this account, they were terrified by a revival of antiquated joggleries, " by the history of a Jew and a Prostitute, tormented by the apparition of a bleed. log Host, suspended over tbeir beads;" and mocb imposing indicate of other kiods were employed; —Phis affair, It is observed, is interesting to every family. Undoubtedly it is, and it is hoped, it will produce a proper impression. It is calculated to skew the dangers of a French education, directed as it often is, at present, by the must zeal ous Ultra Priests. The man who could not foresee the hazard to which young female minds were exposed, without the counteracting influence of pare..tal inspection fur half a dozen years, had little reason to be surprised at the consequences that followed- Ao English education is for young. persons of both e :es, who ate to pass their lives in England, the safest and the best. A letter received yesterday in town by express states, that the Emperor Alexander, in contemplation of war with TUI key, bee invited the King of Wurtein bor., his brotber-iu•law, to take the command of the Polhdi army. It was yesterday reported in the city that a contract has been made for 10,000 barrels of gunpowder to be sent to the Mediterranean. Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 15th ult. concur in stating that the long expected Russian Tariff is highly injurious to the commercial interests of this country. and that a prejudice exists in favour of the United States of America. The British Anshmeador, it is said. exerted himself much in endeavouring to procure a more favourable determination of the Bus. sin Cabinet with regard to this country. but without any favourable result. The Tariff itself. was gene rally expected by the Russi a merc h ants , would have been received by the late numerous snails from the continent, but in this they have been disappointed. The improvement in the exchange is the only indica- tion we have of a political nature. the whole of the letters. being silent upon the subject of peace or war with the Turks. J.

This decision is appli cable to every public act. . . Yesterday there was a Board at the Treasury, to take into consideration the reduction at the different public officer. and a minute was signed by Lord Li verpool, tkc. that those whottow retire should receive an allowance according to the scale mentioned In their Lordships' letter in the year In2l ; COM. gently Mr. Banks' Act no longer exists.

Yesterday's post brought an order, that they shoal.' be transmitted to the Penitentiary House at Cork, and delivered into custody there ; sad this morning. pursuant to said Ai, rectinns, they were sent off under a military guard. Extract of a letter from Major Wilcock', dated Rathkeale. January 3:— " I beg to acquaint you, that having received private information. I, this morning, at a very early hour, pro ceeded to the church-yaril of Ballysllonan. with a party of my police, and succeeded in getting several stand of good arms, a quantity of ballets and slugs, in a leather bag, a powder-horn, some flints, and a tarn-screw. all concealed in a spot resembling a grave, over which sense human bones were laid. I also beg to say, that this neighbourhood continues tranquil. I base not heard of any outrageoince Uorman's murder." The Magistrates of the county Roscommon met at Roscommon on Friday last, the High Sheriff in the Chair, when it was unanimously resolved, that the only measure which can operate to subdue the spirit of in surrection and outrage, is the immediate renewal and operation of the Insurrection Act. supported by a well organised police.

Marrett, charged with the murder of William Welch, of Ballinaeoarty, in the Liberties of this City, nearly seven years since. He bas been identified as the person against whom the jury found a verdict on the inqui vi t inn. The houses of Denis M'lnery, Mathew Hayes, Thady Ryan, Thomas Holleran, Widow Hayes, Darby Ryan. Thomas Hanrahan, and David Cremes. in the baronies of Coshma and Small County, In this county. were broken into since Monday last, as were also several dwellings in the neighbourhood of Kilcullans, by banditties, who searched for fire-arms, and when they got none, they insisted on money.and from several of the inhabitants they took eves the pewter off their dressers. Michael Slattery, of Kamilla'', is making some re- sistance to these ruffians, was beaten in a desperate manner with the bat end of a musket. IYilliam Lenaghan, Martin Brennan, and James M•Nulty, from the neighbourhood of Boyle, were com mitted, on Saturday last, to the gaol of Roscommon, for administering unlawful oaths, and extorting money. —(.lthloxe.licrald.) _ . i:ous - ro or KILK;NXT.—On Wednesday a labouring man was arrested near Pilitown, upon strung suspicion of having been concerned in some illegal visits that were made the preceding night in that neighbourhood. We hear that the country between Callan and Nine mile-house is much infested by nocturnal perambula tions, attended with gross delinquency. On Friday, a person was in our office, whose house, beyond Pilltown, received a second visit the preceding night for arms. As is too much the mode, he would not have his name mentioned. This is lamentable pru dence. lie says that such visits are no rarities where he resides.—(lraterforel Mirror.) There are only eine Provincial Bankers in Ire land this year—in 1809 there were forty-three. We are sorry to learn that the wet weather bas de stroyed the potatoes very generally in Ireland, and Olt great apprehensions. are entertained of famine in that country. From the hand to month way in which the wretched population live, when a talamityl „f this kind occurs,they are absolutely without resource. ~~ CATHOLIC MUTING, Dos La.

STOCK EICHANGE.-It is reported there has been an arrangemant between the hitherto hostile parties. and that an amicable understanding was come to on Tuesday at a dinner party. One of the tunes of the new chimes at the Royal exchange is—" There is nae luck about the house." Not very pleasant to the tenants of the Gresham estate, nor the frequenters of the 'Change. There is no truth in the account of the apprehension of the Navrollice delinquent at Charleston. It is known that he sailed from this country in the Comet, Oreswold, which sailed from the Downs on the sth of November for New York, and there has been no intel- ligence of her since. The following extract of a letter from Pernam buco, dated June 9. 1821. fdraishes one among a thousand proofs of the activity and atrocity with which (in spite of treaties) the Slave Trade is still car ried on by foreign states :—" We have lately hail many arrivals of slaves—three ships last week, and one this morning. The market is now so overstocked that the latter is to proceed to Maranham. Two of the ships have been oat a long time. and the mortality on board has been immense. One sailed from Angola with a cargo of 485 slaves, end 180 died. The other had 360, and about half died. It will be a losing con cern for the ships, as the contract is, that they are to receive about 101. per head for all they land. It is horrible work. The profits are usually very great. — An acquaintance of mine, • Portuguese. sometime. employs his spare cash in speculating in slaves; and he told me yesterday at dinner, that it had alwaysyleld ed him above 100 per cent. profit. One to-day was to have bee• executed for the murder of his master, mis tress, and infest child. The Deputies. however, having been chosen to-day, they begged the fellow might be reprieved, and he is to be sent to the coast of Africa. I detest the traffic and those who are employed in it." 7 • • . 1 : ----- • , 1 OLD .11411LEr.—Tars .11ormos. A BANK PROS FXLITION.

Of the letter alluded to, we have been favoured with the following extrac , • which we have much pleasure in communicating to our readers : " Treasury Chambers, Jan. 4, 1922.

Gooch, Esq., 31.P."—(Bury Gar:. Jan. &.) Accounts from Holland state, that the Rhine, which on the 211 of December Ives only eight feet hie h, rose can the 24th to II feet 3 inches. The Wad rose between the 22k1 and 24th front 9 feet 9 inches to 13 feet 6 inches. In the summer of 1791, on the day that the action - took place between Admiral Parker and the D•ttch fleet, under Admiral Zoutman, off the Borger Bank, an old man in Arbroath, who happened t,o be lying in his garden, affirmed that he heard most distinctly the firing of the guns ; and by placing his ear on the ground, he said in the vernacular idiom, he felt the yird dioule. He called on some of his neighbours, but they could not be sensible of hearing any sound; • he, however, continued firm in his assertion, pointing a southeast direction, and requesting them to nate the day and hour. for he was certain they would hear of a sea fight in that direction, and at that time. The spot where the man lay was about a third of a mile fraut the shore, and slightly elevated above the level of the sea, and no other land intervened between Arbroath and the scene of action, which, when the account of it arrived, was found to correspond exactly with the time pointed out by the old man.—(./foetrose ('tiroviele ) Carat LIVING I—At a country public-house, not • twenty miles from Lewes, a party of neighbours, one night last week, partook of an excellent plain sapper (it being Christmas time) consisting of boiled legs of mown, vegetables, fruit, puddings, Sic., with table beer, and after supper a glass of Holland, each, for the moderate charge of one shilling each ; with which charge, both the company and landlord were per- f, etly satisfied.—(Brig/toe Chrumick.) t The story of the amputation of Mr. Wallack's leg , which has appeared in some papers, turns out to b unfounded in fact. He was expected to recover fro, his accident so completely, as to be able to continue to perform the duties of his occupation.
