W k~ 1 taken of NOL each—the first tee/. appropriated for purchasing lines and fishing-tackle for the poor fishermen on the coast, and the next toe/. for pile chasing wool and flax to give•mplricrtient to some of he wives of the peasantry ; which lets the balance in hoodoo( the Treasurer to be something about %UN. Thit sum it was proposed to retain for the present, to answer future emergencies, which arrangement of the Committee was countenanced and apparreri of he the Government, as appeared front two letters received by Mr. De !a Cone, and which he read *..bitt..Malletinit. The first was dated the 26th A ugu.t. received from Mr. Goultsurn. in which thi• Oflitfeniasi stated, that Government conaidereri ' 9 ;letter to delay giving employment on the public works contemplated. until later in the sestina, lest it may prejudice those emplut .41 in getting in the 1999 19c0t ; the other letter was felt Mr. Griffith. re.. •t -.serf that morning, and stated that in an audience which this gentleman had with the Lord brute ti.ust, his Fiicellcucy approved of resuiniug this butane, until sifter the autumn, when hurves't work reaaeil, and when oilier measures may be resorted to and followed tip for improviiig the condition of the peasantry. The Meeting decided accordingly, that use appropriation should be made of this sum in she of the Treasurer. A convertrat;on then look place with respect to two . grimts to the amonnt of 331.. which had hero made on the 11th of, June to two parishes, named Hilmonns and Derry, suppot•ed ;,:o be Kilintchatel and Domini, but which remained unclaimed, and it was 01re:fore proposed to throw this pool into the general (send. Mr. JUIPTI N 31'Cattitfir mid, that being one of those who attended thee& meetings from the coni menceitPitt, he had an opportunity of witnessing the diligence and correctness with which the Tees.. taller attended to the business of t h e Conamitter ; be devoted much of his time in answering commu nications, and forwarding in every wry iu his power, int laudable objects. Mr. M'C•atue then moved the thanks of the Committee to Mr. De La Coor. This tr.tion was itunirdialely panted uoani tnti.ly amid the applause of the Meeting. Mr. D EA COUR returned thanks, observing he (lid not think himself entitled to so honourable au instssee or thrir regard for his service.. Sir NICIIOLas C. COLTIOURST moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Secretaries fur the attentiou, assiduity, and ability with which they discharge the ditties of their situation—this was also received with approbation by the meeting. Captain HOARE then suggested, that as the Corn. twitter were appointed for the purpose of relieving the distress; of the poor in the county, and having effected this object as far as lay in their power, it wit now their duty to guard as much as possible against a recurrence to the same state, by adopting some plait to improve the habits of the people. lie would give an outline of the arrangement he pro posed, in order that the Committee may act upon It, or alter or modify it at pleasure; but lie thought it essential that ►ome body should he formed to act during the winter, to suggest to Government any flung they may cou•ider necessary to Ise done, and to futtil those ditties recently performed so advantageously by the Central Committee. The hew Committee he proposed should consist of nine country gentlemen, and they should coin aisuilicate with the Local Committees and the civrity of the different parishes. They may as semble monthly, and report at that time on the Mete of the county generally. If it were !Mind wecrierary to apply to Government again; to assist the industry of the people, it could be done through this Committee, but in no instance should gratuitous relief he given. It would be a poor re turn for the exertions made in England to relieve toe peasantry, if the gentleuzeu of the county did net couie foriaard to prevent as much as iu their power a recurrence to ally more appeals to its -bounty. This Committee, he was aware, would have many difficulties to encounter ; but they sbonld also experience the pleasure of having per formed their duties, which would compeusate fur any disappointment. • The Rev. Mr. K lELY thought the number too small, and considered that theme should be a repre sr-tinnier from each barony, so that the information should be as general as possible. He knew himself that objections had been made in the county to the Ibrioation of the present Committer, and there-foie proposed Gentlemen should be selected front the coast who would ha►e a knowledge of the fisheries, as well as from the northern baronies, and that the principal landholders in each should be appointed on Ilk Committee. Rev. Dr. WOODWARD approved of the sugges tion, but conceived that sufficient had net been June to manifest our gratitude for the extraordinary arid unprecedented benevolence exhibited by the people of England. lie proposed that u abort ad dress to the peasantry should be prepared, which may be read at the different churches and chapel., such as lie saw lately from the London Committee, Algottl W. Smith," for he apprehended the symptoms of insubordination were nut entirely era dicated. The Committee now proposed way act very well as a mouthpiece to communicate with the Corternitient, and as auch lie approved of it. Sir N. C. COLTRURST read from • newspaper rani *hid* were passed by the Dub lin Mansion fleii.e Committee, and considered the present Committee could not do better than follow v.p the spew in %huh these Resolutions were die trtetl. He therefore proposed • Resolution to this ed-t t, which was adopted by the Meeting. C.pirsin Husnß del 14red he was not satisfied 1,,0r uit,,,ute.—takiug up a matter stilt and forgetting the thing alter, like gentle- If going to a luZ-hunt, or like cli ldren throwing aw.y then haablei after being so long unitised with 111 PM. - No ; lie was tor having none in the Com. wits-e but working gentlemen, acid fur confiiiing the Ate' of the Committee to improve the habits of the peasantry, and riot by giving them money, to i n duce them to expect •tuit relief in future. Ile Joist no objection that the Committee should receive reports from the maritime district., but be thought ,siinre good would result from the Committee being select and labormus, than from the situation the Amen - Mere may proceed front. Mr. Tssum•s G. FRENtIi we. for a General that would embolic* ail the purposes which the state of the county way require. and not have them frittered away into one Committer. for encouragement of the linen trade and dux. ...Arnim, nee, Will weil which theater of the Wye thrum frittered eke euctettreseateut 1 1, growing. another for fisheries, and so on. tt eras impossible, under such circumstances, for the Go vernment to acquire an exact knowledge of what wovild he moat beneficial for the county. Sir N. C. COLTHURST proposed following up the filmier RVaoltition, by moving for the adoption of g Central Comtehtee. Mr. Di L♦ Cove supported this proisositiOn as a preliminary arrangement to any further proceed ing. It could receive report, from the.flatt and Fishery Committees, and the Baronial Committee., if found necessary. This was a period in which every man must come forward with heart and hand to aid the distresses of the country, and improve alre situation of the pearantry ; if he did not, the most serious and lamentable consequencra may fol low; therefore, all should earnestly unite, and give their indefatigable support to assist in struggling with our present difficulties. Rev. Dr. Woonwx au was for a strong pull, and ■ long pull, and a pull altogether. They must met for themselves, and with vigour, for it was nut to be expected that the Government would be always holding them up by the hand. Sir NICIOLAS C. COLTHUIST then moved that • permanent Central Committee be etc( ted, who would act in connexion with the Parochial and Baronial Committees. Captain HOARE repeated his objections to the Baronial Committees, and considered they would make the business of the Croats' Committee too complicated, and that it would be difficult to bring the members of a Baroni..l Committee together. Mr. T. G. Fiteacu said it was early proposed by Mr. Wrixoo Becher, that baronial commit tees should be established, and it was matter of regret that they were not, as they could have co operated with the central cctannitter, and could have taken much of the labour off their hands. If they had been formed at tbe consittencensent, there would have been no had mJetegetnent of the funds iu the parochial committee-a, in preventing and checking which, much of the time of that Commit tee. had been employed. In many of the parishes there were no resident gentry, only the clergy ; and how necessary was it to have baronial committees to act in such district'. After much more discussion, it was at length re solved, that a permanent Ceuttal Committee be formed, and that it should act in conjunction with ,the Parochial or Baronial Committees; and it was also moved and agreed to, that each member of the present Committee should give in a list of 21 names of the principal landhuhlet• to form the Committee in conjunction with all the Peers aud Members of Parliament connected with the county. Towards the close of the dry, and after the other business of the Meeting had been disposed uf, Mr. James Redmond Barry made a communication to the Chairman, the High-Sheriff, with regard to a sum of 1001., which his faintly had received fermi the Loudon Committe. Ile said the Loodou Com suittee had forwarded this sum is cuitsequrnce of representation made to it, that a great number of the poor peasmitty, to thelt of live hundred families mu the parishes of Abheyrnahuo and Do tioughmore, hail the greater part of their clothes in pawn, and the Committee, with that liberality end benevolence which distinguished them, imme diately forwarded the above sum for their release. Mr. Barry then submitted the plan he proposed to follow, to turn this money to the best account ; lie intended, lie said, that it should he devoted to af fording employment to the female portioit of these families during the winter month*, and to associate with him in its distribution, the clergyineti of these respective paridua—lint plan was, that the females telirved should make a return in labour by apiii• fling flax and wool, sod the profit accruing should go again to puichase more flax and wuul, sous to keep tip a constant fund for employment. These details Mr. Barry read from a letter, the counter- Fart of which he had forwarded to the LUIldOl3 CoMmittre. Many Gentlemen exp f d their approbation of the plan, nod raid they had no doubt that under the auspices of the benevolent Lady, who received the money from the Committee, it would have the most beneficial effect. Alter some other busine.s of minor interest the meeting shortly after dispersed. lOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FLANDERS MAIL. Eitrnct au lettrr from Corfu, Judy 25 : The accounts from the Continent tit the 16,11 of this month inform us that R p .St of 30 Frank•, en camped at the village of Perm, near Alta, was sur prised and surrounded by the 'rooks.

The death of Odysseus was generally spoken of, a loss which was more than wade up for by the suc cess of the brave and prudent Mink Botzsris. No reliance is now placed in Greece iia the arristinice of Russia, to which, as Chourschid Pach■ has pub licly announced, " the Porte had deigned to grant peace, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greek fellow Christman, and recognised the pre-ennueuce of the Crescent above the Standard of the Cross." Though this is merely the boasting of s Barbarian, it is not easy to describe the sinider impression which it has made on the miods of die Chriaps..

FRANIIVORT. 'AIIOI3IIT 26. Several conferences have already taken place at Vienna in the office for Foreign Affairs, at which Prince Metternich presided. At these conferences, which may be considered as preliminary proceed ings to those of the approaching Congress, the following Ministers have been successively invited to attend : Fur France—The French Ainbassadoe lb* Ma►quie de Caraman. For Great Britain—Sir G.rdoo. Fur Pruitai•—Prince Hataftlrt. Fur Bilissa—M. de Tatiactrtr. It is affirmed that in the famous battle at Ther. mopylse, the Greeks were aided by the counsels of a foreign General of distinction who came from Corinth. This officer, who observed the strictest incognito, fought in the ranks merely as a Greek Captain. BRUSSELS. SEPTEMBER S.

Respecting the important events in Thessaly we have received information, from which it appears that the troops, which, in consequence of the orders of the Porte, successively arrived from Bulgaria and Rouselir, immediately proceeded to Thessaly to deliver Chourschid Podia from his embarrassing situation. The troops of turned Greek peasants which occupy the defiles of Olympus could riot oppose any effectual resistance to this army, and retreated into inaccessible mountains. The very formidable army (stated to be from 15,000 to 20,000 men) advanced therefore without opposition to Larissa, sod effected its junction with Chours chid, who had previously collected the remnants of the Turkish corps or Hassan Pacha, Mahocuet Packs, &c., which had been defeated and partly destroyed before. Chourschid resolved in obedi ence to the orders received from Constantinople to continence offensive operations, even before the Paella of Salonichi should arrive with fresh rein forcements. The latter had sent a corps which was pl..ced at his disposal towards Cassandra, and put himself at the head of it, which induced tile Greeks that had landed there to rein). bark, as they were not disposed to engage in a serious combat with superior numbers, but they will probably return as moon as the Podia again left Cassandra with his troops. When these accounts came away the Pacha was also on the point of marching to Thessaly. During this time Chourschid had really gained many advantages over the Greeks, which were proclaimed at Salonichi with great pomp ; but he subsequently sustained a severe defeat which compelled him to retreat. The Turkish authorities at Salonichi of course say no thing of this, hut positive information had been re ceived there of the total failure of Cliourschid's new operations. The communication between Larissa and Salonichi was, however, perfectly restored, and a new division of troops was really on the march from Macedonia to Thessaly ; so that some despe rate battles may still be expected in the latter pro. since. /ROSS THE DANUBE, AUGUST 24. AVe have accounts of the appearance of Turkish arid Greek ships of war on the west coast of the INlurca ; the two squadrons were, however, not strong, and seemed to beonly detachments of larger fleets. A letter from Corfu speaks of a naval action in which the Turks are said to have suffered severely.

The Porte circulated various accounts of victo►ies, and announced the approach ing subjection of the Insurgents iu the Mores. The people were informed that Chniirachid united with the Paella of SAlonichi and Hassan Pisan, had gained great advantages, and was on his march to the Mores, whither also the Turkish fleet had sailed, kc.; but the better informed Turks did not give much c►edit to these accounts, which they considered as a contrivance to revive the fallen courage of the Musaulmen. The Jani-series 'hew on all occasions their dislike to the present system. They say that Hatch Ef fendi is sold, and in the pitynf the enemies of the Mussulmen, and that all the mi►fortunes that have happened hitherto must be ascribed to him. They are also dissatisfied with Ibrahim Paella, who com mands the army at Bujukdere, and has ►aved Hsieh by his courage, in recompence for which, his friends say, he is to be made Grand Vizier, and he has, in fact, had several initiate audiences of the Sultan, at which Haiti) was present. But well-informed per sons say that they are not on such good terms as th e y se e m ; th a t th►y fear and envy each other, and will soon be at DI en variance, and that Haleb is certainly fur from thinking of doing any thing to advance Ibrahim, on whom lie can never depend. It was stated at Constantinople that all the dif ferences with ttussu were adjusted, and M. De Tutischeff will soon come as Ambassador. Several troops have again lately been ordered from Bulgaria to joie the army in Thessaly. Those sent before have relieved Chourschid from his em barrassment, and enabled him fur the moment to act on the offensive.

Government lilts just received official dispatches from the General Liberator, dated Pastels, the Bth of June, enclosing the terms of cspit ulation granted to the Spanish troops, who defended Rams, and Quito, in virtue of which the first place was taken possession of by the President Liberator, the same day (Bth June), and the latter by General Sucre on the 25th May. The brilliant marches from Boni bona and Pichinchu which preceded the capitulation obliged the enemy to surrender. and the liberators of the South proved themselves as generous as they were valiant. The Colombian guard has increased its reputation; the warriors of Pichincho have proved that the love of liberty can vanquish every difficulty. The wet of the South has ended to the glory of the Colombian arms.

A Flanders moil has arrived, with papers from Brussels to the sth instant. A letter from Corfu mentions two ernes of hOrrid cruelty committed by the Greeks, upon which the writer observes, it is afflicting that religion sod huturnity should have to deplore excesses of which Christian soldiers should never be guilty. This writer, however, forgets that these excesses were acts of retaliation provoked by the excesses of the Turk., the first aggressors, whn.e crimes and cruelties have set the example of relent. less ferocity, arid driven their opponents to madiliss and despair. We seldom see an account from the other side of the Atlantic which dues not speak of the destruc tive activity of the pirates against the property of British merchants. The losses have been so severe that a merchant freighting a vessel for an Atlantic voyage, buds at this moment a 'serious difficulty in inducing any underwriters to secure the cargo. The premium in mans• instances has been 4 20 per cent. and is seldom leas than to guineas. It is int possible not to feel such • slate of affairs to be highly disgraceful to the British Government, who having at their disposal • navy superior to all the other navies of the world combined, should yet suffer the most important branch of our commerce to be made a prey to pirates. Our merchants must led grateful to the naval force of the United States, which has been frequently exerted in defending Blitisb property from the gripe of the robbers, but it is very hard that they cannot look with confidence to their own Government fur protection in return for the enormous taxes to which their trade is liable. W hen this subject was noticed last Session in Parlia ment, it was pertly and ignorantly observed, that the United States were as much bound to watch over the trade of the Atlantic as we should be to prevent piracies off Spithead. The Lord of the Admiralty who made this remark ought to know that the duty of protecting the trade of Great Briton' is not con fined to latitudes or climates, but that wherever the British flag is seen, there, too, it ought to en joy safety and respect. But do our Ministers mean to recognise in the Americans an exclusive so►ereignly over the western Atlantic, by conceding to them the duty of exclusive protection I There was a time wheu the Cabinet of go6laud woyld pot Pup co.uotepooctli 'Tr
