The following sketch of this prr;on may therefore prove acceptable to our readers : Jat i tirs Cathelinean„ a °ennui in the Vcndcan army, eras born 17,;:l. On the 20th rebruary. 1793, the National Convention coders.%) a levy of 300,000 men: the lOsh March was fixed upon for sirsa!g the lots. The young coon of St. Vincent, who were op posrd to this measure, drove away the gens.arannes and pillaged the lintel tie Ville. l'athelmmu, bearing of this affair., harangued hrt neighbours, and placed hintsrlf at the head of 100 men, and vale,: the villagers to arms. At Jallais he repulsed a larger force, u-d took passmion of a siz.pounder, the first piece of artillery in Jove. of the Vendtuns. /11 the 13th 31arell he took posses sor ef the silage of Chemille. and made many prisoners. On I.lth he :masked Chollet, and defeated a force of gee hun. t.-... 1 men, and took several picres of artillery. Cathclineau, w was but a simple peasant, ruse to the command of an army ; • it is somewhat rentarkahle, that at this period the Royal I'atholic forces in La Vendee were led by a man born in ice obscurest clam of sochty, while the descendants of Wren were te the bead of the Republican army employed against them. On the l'Jth of June, Cattlelineal' sttacked the city of Nantes, but was reptised ; and on the 10th July he received a ball which fractured F's leg ; * gangrene anceeeded, which occasioned his death. The teasarts he command:a called him the Saint of Anjou, from his viety. and they supposed him to bo invulnerable. The Govern. ittent of Louis XVIII., in :11ay 1816, granted a pension of 1,500 t73ncs to his son, and MOO francs to each of his daughters; these ; r.sians hare been ?aimed 1:7 Charles X. to 8,000 francs each. ere is a fine painting of this ‘'‘ndean chief, by Girodet, DOW exh'bited iu the Louvre. In a South American journal, which, according to the Sp: :.:11 fashion of long names, bears the title of the Al once w .•reo d A:iroveo, we have a journal of the military • !ations between the Vie.?roy Lass as A and the instal- ANET•. It will be found to arc in substance sy:th the accounts that have reached us through the Buenos Actes Argos. In this last statement, however, we have a•. estimate of the numbet of troops under OLANETA and 1 'lite force of t'le former is represented to be cl.vett .%ono men ; that of the latter nut more than 4 axs. The threat cf Vs, nit is again reported. It is as • d that hia vanluard was .:-.trpristal at I.•:nas, and that Xer AT A who commanded it, was made prisoner. 'rigs General leas been 33 often killed and capful...al before, that we trust yet wait sort.. time patiently, before we give crederm to this new version of his misfortunes. At the Kingston Assiros yesterday, in giving Ii charge to the Grand Jury, Mr. Justice Beastor.iii alaia adverted strot: terms to the brutal and mercenary practice of i7--fgliting. In the film plum, his Lordship inquired ol.ether tit: constables of Mulesey w:re in attendance?

At the pleasure of acme hal f itj fellows of this stamp, a vira is fixed upon for s 1 oxivg-iratcli : the decision is privately iiiiii uni tated through the channels by which there parties mate Immo :he r movements to each other ; and sud denty, on the day appointed, the peaceful am( imstts rering ricighbourthm I thus selected is tilled with a tvsgeniblige, comprising nearly all the men of desperate and doubtful character iu the kingdom. Vet, we deeply regret to say m, these proceedings have been tolerated by the co :::: ivance, and sometimes almost ender the sanction, of the Magistracy. Henceforward, however, he hope we may consider the debasing sport of boxing as abolished, at heist as a public exhibition. If -- fools who would still bet on the molt of a after what they have recently sew, the peace and decorum of society will not be outraged by the bullies and blackruards of the ring; and we trust the " historians of the day" will not in future deem it part of their duty to dive in: the recesses of this low-minded and revolting gratification, in order to render their columns" interesting to all classes of readers." _ The disturbed state of public feeling in Ireland, owing to th proceoUngs instituted against Jr.: O'Con NELL, seents,—we lament to say it, likely to precipitate that crisis, the approach of which many haul looked forward to with so much fearfulness. If we were not among the number of the alarmists, it was not from an unacquaint ancc with the peril to which the public quiet was exposed, but from an inward IBllltfilllCC that no circumstances were likely to arise which Lord EST.EY was not prepared to meet, and that no danger would present itself which he hail not both OM ability and the means to overcome. if we arc now among the alarinkts, it is because the step which has created so much ferment, justifies alarm ; inas much as it involves a train of consequences against which the country may well despair of providing any adequate security. Artifices, we know, hail ken employed to excite unnecessary apprehensions, but it were much better so than that the aspect of affairs should be as now they are,—fraught with painful anticipations, and full of real peril. What will be the issue of all this ? is a question which every one asks, and no one can answer. The A TTOINEY•CENEIit we think, has given a decisive advantage to Mr. O'Co N- L t.t. ; an advantage which we are sure he did not look for, and which we are sony lie has obtained. The wiser and more reflective class of his Catholic brethren, did not take part in Isis petulant and intemperate feelings: they did not, indeed, openly disavow him, but they in their hearts regretted that he had brought discredit on their cause by the indiscreet fervour with which lie supported it. To our ears, on this side the water, his language was too au thoritative and his tone too peremptory : all this bad a tendency to call forth old fears, and to revive expiring pre judice e If any attempt at usurpation had been mani festnl by any of the C itholic Leaders—if their fol lowers had any where proceeded to open outrage—the instant application of the public force for the public secu rity would have met approves everywhere; every one, both bete and iu Ireland, would have felt that the Govern ment, in the prompt exercise of its power, had done no more than the occasion called for and the safety of the State justified. Mr. OVONNII I. would have had no pub lic sympathy to which be could have applied—no feelings of justice to which he could have appealed. Ile would have been cast away upon the storm lie had raised ; and probably without much lamentation for his fate. As it is, his condition is entirely reversed. The occasion on which he is prosecuted is strikingly inadequate and ill-timed : the offence charged,—looking to the expressions which consti tute it,—is felt to extend itself much beyond the personal case of Mr. O'Cornreet.; it is felt to involve the privi lege of public remonstrance, and the freedom of political discussion. Many interests of infinite magnitude, dear,—and justly dear,—to the whole British people, English as well as I Irish, hinge upon its result. No man,—throwing aside his predilections and prejudices, and feeling as he ought to feel,—eau wish well to such a prosecution. It must fall to the ground: it cannot be otherwise. From whatever point we look at it, our view is the same. There is an alliance of feeling and reason that constitutes the nature of than; the occasion chosen for the attack of Mr. O'Coaazet has given him wherewithal to appeal to both ; and it re quires no gift of prophecy to predict that he will do so with success. In the !seeders condition in which Ireland is at this moment—and by this measure—placed, it will be greatly owing to his moderation and good sense if she is not convulsed to the very centre. What could the Cabi net propose to itself by such a step? Is it wise at any time to seek repose through hostility ? Was it to be ex pected that the agitated state of Ireland would be calmed down by furnishing this new, and, of all others, most irritating source of outrage ? Lord We tees r. a v Wa g proceeding well and wisely in his course. Ile knew Ire land—be knew human nature—his reflections on both had 'aught him that the sure clel lasting repose of the kingdom he was dehe,ated to govern could only be brought about by the quiet and peaceable means of legislative improvement. Instead of any spirit of disobedience or rebellion appearing that called for any strong measure, the policy of Lord WELL/sexy bad in its salutary operation so soothed the di:turista:l districts, that the insurrection .4els had been declared no longer necessary, and hail accordingly been taken oft The prospect which had been so long overcast was every day brightening. The leaden of the Catholic lolly,—Mr. Ol'ox xte e among the foremost,—had in all their speeches at the :association spaken of the administra tints of the Luau LIEUTENANT, and its important be nefits to Ireland, in terms of the most sincere and cordial praise ; but it did not suit the Orange faction that the great enticel division in that devoted kingdom slieu!d be thus healed. ...ley spared tin effort of art or in ' fiuence to excite in the public mind an apprehen sion that the Catholics were secretly preparing for revolt. To a certain—indeed, to a very great extent—they suc ceedel. Tuty found many who believed—and many snore who sheeted to believe—that the strong arm of authority could aL e quiet these apprehensions ; and that, without that, there could be no peace for Ireland, nor security for the Protestant Establishment. The present rash pro ceeding against Mr. O'CoNNEI.T. has grown out of this palicy, and of this representation. The footsteps of the Orange Leaders may be traced on every peat of the ground that is now going over. The LORD LIEUTENANT is not fitted to follow in such a track ; he is eat made to bc an in:strut:sent ; his mind is that of a master: but he may, for an instant, be turned aside,—for this has happened to minds of the first ordere—froin the prudent, straightfor ward course of his own policy. There are among his steer'ne , friends,—many of them the moat forward, and apparently, zealous supporters of his aystem,—who would joy to see him thrown moue the wildest !bangs of time people; after their counse% had thresses the Cetholie multiteile into a estates of dangerous motion, they would next excite a elegueur for his recall. They have at this hour an indevideal in their eye ready to vault into Isis scat. If his Lordship withstands,—as we trust he will,—this curly conjunction of ()range influeuce and Court intrigue, be fling owe his triumph to his own firmness and his own foresiiht. The misehievous i nergy meat to be feared is that which works unseen. Ile has a spirit callable of ee leisting the deem ; the danger is from the under-eurecne A rumour. wholly groundless, was spread yesterday. on the authority of a private later, from Lisbon, dated the loth Iheenther. tha vemse misunderstanding hail taken place between Cr William A'Court and the Portuguese Govertunent.

THE BRITISH PRESS. PARIS. Irsox OVZ COARESVONDENT.I Nits. Pre. .2a. It is generally believed that M. de Poa.io N AC COW return to London in a fcw days after the opening of the Chambers. Ills friends Lave foolishly civm too much importance to his refusal of the portfolio of th-.• !ittister of Foreign.% fiiiirs, and the pretended difficulties he opposed to the aect•ptaneo of it ; it is, however, the opinion of the hest-informed among them, that this proposal was never seriously made by M. de VILLELE. M. de I ) OI.I6NAC is by far too closely connected with those persons who immediately surround the KING, and too intimately identified in politics with M. de Fitz.; AMIs and others, who at Court form a party in direct opposition to him, for M. de VI t.tri.E to bacve he could without danger admit him into the Mini:dry, or even permit him with safety to continue for any length of time in Paris. At the last reception at the Tuileries, M.dc COMERS: complained very much of the had state of his health ; that the weight of his duty was by far too much for his years ; that his infirmities rendered hint inadequate to the longer support of it ; and that the greatest benefit that could be conferred upon him would be to relieve him from it. Those to whom he held this language consider it as sound: ing the note of preparation to his adherents for the change which he anticipates, and by which he will cease to form a part of the Ministry. The approaching departure of M. de PO/JONA(' has greatly diminished the rumens of the dismissal of M. de mAs ; it is also said that that Minister is strongly supported by M. Pozzn di Boauo, the Russian Andras udor. Private letters received from St. Petersburgh, emtain al l the dreadful details of the melancholy deluge which bap_ petted in that City ; but the Rusaian nobility, who are at Paris, endeavour most strenuously to weaken the belief of its extent ; and they pretend that it has been gristly ex aggerated, but the rerersa of this is well known to be the truth. The enmity which M. Pasxcurr has excited against himself at Court, will pmbably be more dangerous to him than all the revolting abuse of power by which he has so notably signalized his administration ; his reneci is regarded as certain. His nether-in-law, Madame Ft. Lees:, has reported in the circles, for some days past, that her son-in law is tired of his post ; that its nature was never much to his taste; that he cl,sir,:s nothing so much as to be em ployed in some other functions snore congenial to him; and that he had already had the offer of an embassy: .hose cir cumstances arc well calculated to conf. no the report of a resolution, said to have been made to suppress the Haute l'oliee and the Direction General of that establishment. 1 Licntetant-General of Police will then be chosen from among the Presidents or Counsellors of the Corr (Royal Ccurt). The new appointmcut will not ditir materially from that which exists nt present, if the person who is chosen to fill it should chance to be like M. k's.sx- T, a Jesuit of the short robe (n Je:uit Jr rrl , e rorrh•). The project ,of changing the law respating tile civil ceremony of inareage is not abandoned, but as it is con sidered likely to create much discontent among a numerous class of citizens, it is intended so to modify it as to render it less objectionable ; it is therefore proposed, as an amend ment, that every citizen, des:rous of marrying. shall present himself at the c'.turch before going to the municipality, and that the muncipal ef:icir shall not proceed to perform the marriage ceremony, till the bridq.-reon delivers him a cer tificate of the religious e.. l ...bration, or the declaration of a priest, attesting that itc Ole priest) had refused the sacra ment of the bridegroom. You must foresee how many digiculties lie in the way of obtaining from a priest a decla ration of this kind, ant how many quarrels and scandals such a document would generate; but when a law is bad in its principle, it is bard;y possible it should be otherwise than absurd in its details. Many eminent persons in the crdrejudkiuire loudly complain of the project of changing the articles of our code relative to civil acts. M. de 31ArrtoNac, who was charge4l with the thawing up of the law for the indemnity, complains bitterly of the inextricable difficulties of the duty imposed upon him. M. Ourrard, the Contractor-General of the Army of Spain. was arrested on Christmas Ere, between one and two o'clock, in a fiacre, in the Rue de Pw, at the suit of one of his creditors. Ile required to be conducted imme diately to the President of the Tribunal of First Instance, before whom M. Cuttinet, his Advocate, centended, that as M. Ouvranl had already sufibred five years' imprisonment, at the suit of the Minister of the Public Treasure, in Isl 1, he could not now be imprisoned for debts which had ac crued previotnly. M. Drouin, the Counsel for the enalite.r, by whom he was arrested, argued that M. Ouvrard hail not suffered the five pates' imprisonment which were e of, and even were it so, that was for a public debt. M. Moreau, the President, directed that M. Ouvranl should be detained, and he was forthwith conducted in a hackney-coach to ttt. Pelagic, where he was handed over to the jailer. Letters were received yesterday from Madrid, dated the Isth inst. At that period the capital was perfectly tranquil, and it was understood that the French troops were let con tinue to occupy seven unfortified towns, in which they are to appoint the authorities, and five fortresses. Sor.e sem salient had been excited in Madrid by the arrest and im prisonment of an Ex-Political Chief, San Martin, who had been for some time living in an obscure Spanish village, upon a posh ive pledge of safety from the Government. The Ma drid Gazeite contains a decree ordering the different Muni ei;‘alities to use the funds which they may bare in hand, from whatever sources, for the equipment of troops. Many of the Regidors had arrived iii Madrid to remonstrate against this decree, and amongst them the Regidor of Se ville, who stated that that. gam opukut city was scarcely able to bear the expense. of $0 to 100,000 francs per annum already imposed upon it for the support of the Rivalist vo lunteers, consequently that the equipment of regular troops from the municipal funds would be impossibk... . _ . 'There seems to be no doubt of the extraordinary fact that the capital of Peru is in the military occupzion of the British. It appears that on the approach of Bolivar, General Roth, who, with the Spanish troop., garrisoned the place, expressed to Captain :doling, of his Britannic Majesty's ship toe Cambridge, his inability to hold out long against the I'atriot forces, and that he had solicited the aid of the British ship's c‘inpr.ily to protect British pro perty during the reign of anarchy, which, from necessity, lanai precede the restoration of the Indepoulent Govern ment. Accordingly, 100 maniocs were lanikil from the Cambridge, a►nd were marched to Lima, for the purpose of guarding British intererts, during what may be termed the interregnum. Mr. Rowerott entered the city at their head. This event is considered Ls the precursor of the entire pacitication of Peru; fdr the latest whims from the head quarters of General &diver, dated :21 tlt August, cominu 'Uwe the important intelligence that I►e bad again opened migoeiations with the Spanish Om issue of which. it was expected, would had to the acknowledzineut of Peruvian independence.

The territory of Nlceklenburgh is bounded by the Baltic, and the expecta tion of deriving some exclusive commercial advantage,' 'Cr his subjects, is said to have dictated this step.

The last mail from Ilttenosi Ayres has bought a copy of a R-port drawn up by a Committee of British Merchants, on the past and prey nt rude of the trade with the Rio de la Plata, which supplies some eemmercial infornsatien of a highly interesting nature. The improvement of the trade of Mott: ,lyres, since its separation front Spain, low been Tory Tensarliable, NA fur:Ashes a strong proof of the ad vainagcs veinal by that country in eatablishing its inde pendence. In the year 1;96, the exports front to Buenos A, r, t amounted to V,Foo,nets dollars, and the im ports to Cinliz from Buenos Ayres to .5,000,000 dollars which, an Spain possess:it an metre monopoly, may be stated 24 the whole trade of that Vieeroyalty. In the year NU, according to the returns of the Custom-house of Buenos Ayteo, the imports are intimated at 11,000,000 dollars, of which nearly one half were received from Great Britain direct. In the same year, the exports from Buenos Ayres are evimated at 6,700 ,000 dollars. This dif ference in tie amount c.f the imports and exports from that country is exp:ained by the cireumstanc, , , that the actual quantities have aiways exceeded those returns, as they have at all times been short manifold& I in order to save duties. In the amount of siscie in particular, said to be exported, no reliance is to be placed on these returns, as the article has sometimes bent wholly prohibited, and was then smuggled uhf. The revenue of Buenos Ayres, in the year isle, is stated at 1,900,000 dollars, and which is said to be raised on a scale of duths comparatively moderate. The system of high duties was wiacly abandoned by the Go vernment. on account of the temptation it created to smug gling. The increase in the trade of Buenos Ayres will ap pear far more striking when it is stated, that under that name was returned to the Spanish Government the whole trade with Paraguay and Upper Peru, which is now, from political Cattier, wholly suspended. When those causes cease to operate, which the progress of events appears to indicate will very shortly happen, the returns roust inevit ably become far greater. It is estimated by the Committer, that, while the colonial system existed, all manufactund and other liuroptats goods sold (Jr three limes 'heir preset prices, while the masks' s: of the country was given in ex change foraor aver i n ' s ". :he of m ;- os il t ai st i ri i k h in o g w f p a a ct id s o ro f r a it. ge preceding nature comprised in this report, of which our limits will not permit us to give a more exten&l notice ; but the whole of the details possess cotrzideralde interest fur persons et:gazed in cotnincrec with that part of the world. ].:':tract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Genoa, o!ated December 11 :—`• The Consul-thmeral of his Ma jesty the King of i 11....
