ITAGua, OCT. 4.—By a resolution to his Ma jesty of the 2d inst., it is decreed:— " 1. That to complete, and where necessary to correct, the regulations contained in his Majesty's resolutions of the 20th of June last, the Bishops who shall open their episcopal seminaries shall be at liberty to proceed immediately to the organization of them, as fixed in the 2d article of the Convention of the 18th of June, 1827, and the bulls of the 16th of the calends of September of the same year, ap proved by a Royal resolution of the !:. ) d of October following. "2. That the young men who have pursued their preparatiory - etudies out of the kingdom, and 'who shall before the Ist of February, Ism, apply to be admitted into the episcopal seminaries, shall be relieved from the decisions of his Majesty's de cree of the 14th of August, 1825, and be placed on the same footing as those who have prosecuted their studies out of the kingdom with the King's permission."

(From the Message. drs Chambres of Sunday.) The Messager des Chanzbres contains a letter to the Editor from the Viscount de Chateaubriand, in which, thanking him for the obliging manner in which he had spoken of himself, he declares that he has read with much pain what is said of the Count de la Ferronayesb He sends et the sante time the copy of a letter which he wrote to the Count on the 16th of last month. He says, "It is said that you will not choose Rome from a scruple of friendship. The air of Naples would not suit you if that em- bassy were to be given away: The air of Vienna is still worse. Rome is the noblest and finest re treat. I release you from your oath of fidelity to misfortune. My place has not been taken from me; I have voluntarily resigned it; your delicacy is per fectiv safe. Go to Rome, at least let me have a ti-lend for my successor. The Palace is ready to re ceive you. If the horses, the carriages, and the wines, suit you, your house is quite prepared. You are but fifty leagues from the spot, nothing can suit you better than this. Perhaps I may go one day under vou r protection to revisit Rome, not like those decayed great personages (puisauces tombees) who retire thither, for I am not a great personage, but like those pilgrims who go there to seek conso lation. I hope that your health is perfectly re stored : Rome will complete your cure, if it is not yet effected:" _ The Viscount adds to the Editor— " I owed this sincere explanation to the loyalty of my Noble Friend." (None of the French Papers contain any further particulars relative to Russia and Turkey.) (Prom the Allgenteine Zeitung of Oct. 7.) FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 20.—1 t has been known in Belgrade for these three days that peace is toneluded between Russia and the Porte, but it is also known that the Pacha of Widdin, who, with his Albanians, has been inactive the whole summer, has now all at once set out en his march for the Balkan, in order, as he has expressed him self, to cut off the communications of the Russians. —We expect with impatience news of this under taking, which it is feared will only produce useless bloodshed, as General Geismar is said to have fol lowed the Pacha of Widdin. Since the conclu sion of peace the Servians are full of joy because they now will be put into possession of the privi leges which were stipulated for them in the 'I reaty of Akermann, but actual enjoyment of which the Porte has hitherto refused them. Count Diebitsch has informed Prince Milosch, in writing, of the conclusion of peace, and of the stipulaticns in favour of Servia, requesting him to announce it to his countrymen. The Pacha of Belgrade will, it is said, be soon summoned to Constantinople, and be placed hi a more extensive sphere of action. It is also reported that the Sultan will go to Adrian ople as soon as that city shall be evacuated by the Russian army. It appears that he intends to sit in judgment upon those who have latterly been guilty of want of energy, and that he has extensive plans of reform. It is much to be feared that, after the departure of the Russian army, there will be dread ful and sanguinary scenes in those provinces %villa', in the Sultan's opinion, have not opposed sufficient resistance to the enemy. It is said that the late Grand Vizier, Izzet Mehemet Pacha, who, when Capitan Paella, defended Varna with so much bravery, but afterwards fell -into disgrace, will be again raised to the post of Grand Vizier. VIENNA, OCT. 2.—Metalliques, 100 7 1: Bank Shares, 1185. (The Austrian Obseraer of Oct. 2, contains no news.) DEATH OF JOHN HORNER, ESQ.—This venerable and highly respectable citizen died at his house in Walker-street, early on Monday morning last. Mr. IlortNEß was the acting partner in the well-known firm of INGLIS, HORNER, and Company, afterwards HORNER, TER,IIA and Company, and latterly JOHN HORNER and Company, manufacturers in Edinburgh. He was father of Mr. HORNER the celebrated Barrister and Member of Parliament, who was unfortunately cut off at an early pe r•iorl of his brief but brilliant Parliamentary career. Mr. IThrtNEß's only remaining son is Mr. LEONARD HORNER, the originator of the School of Arts in this city, and who, from the great success in his gratuitous and patriotic ser vices as Secretary of that Institution, together with his having taken an active part in the management of the New Edinburgh Academy, was at once fixed upon as eminently qualified to fill a similar office—that of Warden to the London University. The duties of that situation, how ever, bad so seriously affected the health of Mr. LEONARD HoitNER that lie was under the necessity of returning to Edinburgh for some months to breathe his native air, and had only gone back to London a few days before the death of his revered father.—Scotsman. In the Tear of what was the site of Exeter 'Change a chapel of ease to St. Martin's parish is about to be erected. The celebrated BOERHAAVE is said to have held the elder-tree in such veneration, on the score of its medicinal virtues, that he often took off his hat when pas sing a tree of that species. -• " Tales of my Time," by the deservedly po pular authoress of " Blue Stocking Hall," will appear in a few days. They are calculated, it is said, to extend the fame of this successful writer, -and to ta!te a distinguished place among the first productions of the day. DR. DODDRIDGE.—The private corrrespond ence of this celebrated Divine will, we understand, exhibit his character in a new light, and prove that piety and cheerfulness are allied more closely than is imagined. Many of the letters of Dr. DODDRIDGE, indeed, are characterized by gay thoughts and witty expressions, and all are indica tive of a mind at peace with his Creator, and with the world ; a mind which, in the intervals of its sacred du ties, could find time for " mirth which after no repenting draws." Lieutenant HARDY'S Travels in the Interior of Mexico will, at length, be published in a few days. He has, it appears, explored many parts of that country never yet visited by any traveller. His work, we understand, abounds in anecdote and personal adventure of the most interesting description, and comprises an account of the present state of Mexico, its mining districts, its splendid and picturesque scenery, the manners and customs of the inhabitants, with sketches of many public characters with whom he came in contact, &c. From the deep interest at present taken by the public in Mexican affairs, this •o lume will, no doubt, prove highly acceptable. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The Duke de LAVAL MONTMORENCY has arrived in London, as Ambassador from the Court of France. He landed at Dover yesterday, having only stayed two days in Paris on his way from Vienna. The Duke has never been in England before, and can scarcely speak a word of Eng lish. He is apparently about sixty years of age, and is tall in person. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town this morning, for Walmer Castle ; and Lord BA THURST for Cirencester. The particulars of the Treaty signed ai Adrianople on the 14th ult., have not as yel been made public. The Turkish Empire seems destined to a ' speedy dissolution. The last letters from Alex- ' andria, which are to the 30th ult., bring the in telligence that MEHEMET ALT, the most powerful as well as the most intelligent Pacha in the dominions of the SULTAN, has been making serious and active preparations for de claring his independence of the PORTE. It is known that various grounds of division and dis trust have long existed between them, but the immediate cause of the present misunderstand ing has been a refusal on the part of the Pacha to send the succours required of him for the re lief of Constantinople. The SULTAN has not as yet, of course, found leisure to take that ener getic notice of this act of disobedience, for which all the measures of MAILMOUD are so remarkable ; but from the known characters of the Sovereign as well as of the vassal, it is to be presumed, from what has transpired, that MEHEMET will either succeed in shaking off the Turkish yoke or lose his head in the struggle. The first answer of the wily Pacha, in reply to the requisition of the SULTAN, was to ex cuse himself under pretence of the badness of the roads, and the miserable condition of his Pachalic. To a man of AiAlimoup's character such an answer must have produced some im mediate act of vengeance, bad he not been re strained by the embarrassing circumstances in which he was placed, and by the fear of exciting the other Paellas to follow the example of in subordination of which MEHEMET had set to iem. It is believed that the PORTE has always re garded the elevation of MEIIEMET ALI as the work of revolt, and that he would long ago have fallen under the veneance of his Master, if he had not been constantly on his guard ; contriv- ing always to rid himself of the bearers of the bow-string, among whom he is said to have at one time found the person who was to have re- placed him in the Government of Egypt. He succeeded in intercepting a new firman of death, which had been sent to him since the capitula tion of the Morea, while the bearer of it was on bis progress through the Desert of Syria. It is nevertheless true, that of all the Pachas of the empire, there is not one from whom the SUL TAN has received so much assistance as from MEHEMET A Li. He alone bore the whole burden of the war against the Greeks, especially towards its conclusion, exhausting his treasures and sacrificing his fleet in the service of a Power, the violence of whose resentment is not perhaps strongly characterized either by gratitude or jus tice. The mutual relationship of Suzerainte and vassalage between the PORTE and its numerous dependents is not indeed very strictly defined, and it is not to be wondered at if a man of MEHEAIET's character should avail himself of the present opportunity to try to establish an in dependent Government in Egypt. The last firman addressed by the SULTAN to the Pacha contained a renewal of the order to send 20,000 men to Constantinople, under the command of his son InnArtrm, at the same time enjoining MEHEMET to furnish his ac counts of receipt and expenditure, and requiring him to observe, that, like all the other Paellas, he was only the salaried agent of the PORTE. Under existing circumstances this language seems to have been somewhat imprudent, as it `the said to have determi ned the Pacha to resist the orders of the SULTAN, to save his son from the fate which probably awaited him, and the wreck of his army from destruction. This resolution, it now appears, was lately adopted at a family meeting of MEHEmET ALI, IBRAHIM, and the two sons-in law of the Pacha. It is even thought that a Pacha, who also bears the name of IBRAHIM, and who had been sent by the Divan to take the com mand of the Turkish vessels in the port of Alexandria, would be made to wait for a consi derable period before being permitted to proceed to sea. Although affairs are thus ominously situated, no open rupture has yet broken out, because on the part of the PORTE the period is not favourable for taking immediate vengeance on his rebellious vassal, and because, in regard to the Pacha, he either feels that he has no- thing to gain by commencing hostilities with the SULTAN, or perhaps he wishes to throw the odium of the first attack on the PORTE. But whether he is to take the lead in commencing hostilities, or to act merely on the defensive, there seems to be no doubt that he is seriously preparing for the event of a decided rupture with the Ottoman Government. The coasts are fortified as well as possible, two fortresses having been raised, the one at Aboukir, and the other at the rock o f • the Arabs, which are said to be the only points where a landing could effected. In consequence of new levies the army of the Pacha now amounts to 35,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, all European, vbithout taking into account the troops employed at Mecca and Cor donfau. With the aid of the natural de fences arising from the position of the country, surrounded by deserts, these forces are thought to be sufficient to repel an attack, supposing the Arab soldiers to be faithful. Preparations are said to be in progress for sending a corps of 8,000 men to garrison a fortress situated beyond the desert towards Syria, and the extremity of the Pachalic of Egypt. On the sea it is thought that the Turks would find it difficult even to maintain an ineffectual blockade espe cially during the winter, the Pacha having several fine frigates, which sail remarkably well, a quality for which the Turkish cruisers are not very conspicuous. The whole of the hypothesis rests, of course, on the supposition that the forces under the im mediate orders of the Pacha, naval as well as military, are disposed to favour his views of am bition or independence ; and that is a point as to which there seems to be considerable doubt. France has long been suspected of having a de sign on this fertile territory, from its capability of furnishing those supplies of cotton, coffee, sugar, and other articles, which must at present be brought from America, or raised more ex pensively at home, and which at the same time operates as one of the most active of the causes of that feeling of jealousy too generally enter tained in this country against the commerce of England. Official information has been received at Lis bon of the POPE'S refusal to acknowledge Don MIGUEL. By accounts from Brussels it appears that the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, with his suite, has arrived there. The Austrian Observer, of the 2d of October, contains the following relative to Greece, and the proceedings of the National Assembly : NEWS FROM GREECE. VIENNA, OCT- 2. The following are the contents of the decree of the National Assembly at Argos, dated Aug. 3, by which 'it appears the answers given by the President of Greece to the English resident, M. Dawkins, in coirequence of the communication of the protocol of March 22, this year, empowers the President to take part in the negotia tions relative to the definitive fate of Greece. The fourth National Assembly of Greece having taken into mature consideration the diplomatic documents which have been communicated to it by the President of Greece, through the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, having con sidered with the same attention, let the note dated 18th May, which M. Dawkins, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of Great Britain, in the name of the Allied Courts addressed to the Greek Government in communicating the Protocol of 22d March, 1829 241 y, The official note of their Excellencies the Ambas sadors of Great Britain and France, dated Smyrna, 9th June. 3dly, The answers of his Excellency the Presi dent of the 234° May and sth June, and the above com munications. Considering that the Government, in undertaking the serious and difficult task of answering these communica tions, conceived it to be its duty not to deviate from prin ciples which the National Assembly at Epidaurus laid down for the restoration of Greece, and which were de veloped in the instructions of the 26th April, 1826, which it gave in the Diplomatic Committee appointed by it, Considering the said instructions express the wishes of Greece asthe great interests for which it struggled unalterably require, and as the engagements demand which Greece entered into before God and man—as well towards itself as a nation, as towards every individual of the Greeks who have sacrificed their fortunes, and shed their blood in the sacred defence of their country, Considering that these engagements are and must remain inviolable, because they are enjoined and consecrated by honour and religion, The Fourth National Assembly of the Greeks decrees— ]. The principles which his Excellency the President has followed in the just appreciation of the Allied Courts, in his Manifesto of the 23d of May, and his note of the Bth of June, are approved in the fullest extent. 2. Full power is given to his Excellency the President, J. A. Capo d'lstris, to take part in the negotiations to which the Allied Courts may invite him, to agree on the conditions of the execution of the Treaty of London ; in this he shall abide by the principles laid down in Art. 1., and act on the bases which the National Assembly at Epi daurns agreed to, and according to which the instruction of 26th April, 1826, are drawn up. 3. The conditions which may be agreed upon shall not be binding upon the nation, till they are acknowledged and confirmed by its National Representatives. Argos, Aug. 3, 1829.

The Nuremburg Correspondent of the sth October has been received. It contains the fol- lowing article in favour of Russia, but takes more for granted than events will bear out. The cruelties at Constantinople we had heard of before : BERLIN, SEPT. 28 No event, perhaps, has ever so fully answered the wishes of all the nations of Europe as the victory of Russia over the Porte. By this victory the Emperor Nicholas, if he generously renounces all conquests, has, however, made one conquest, which he will not refuse ; he has gained the hearts of all the people of Europe, the good opinion of his age, and immortal glory. There is but one opinion here respecting the Emperor, and that is the most favourable that ever a Sovereign enjoyed. He certainly cannot he more loved and honoured in his own country that he is in Prussia. Private fetters from General Muffling have been received ; when he left Constantinople his health was perfectly recovered, and his commission had been most successfully executed. But Constantinople was in a dreadful state when he left it : the executions were incessant ; the Sultan and the dreadful Hussein fancied they saw traitors every where, and the unhappy victims were sent to death on hare suspicion, without trial. It may be the necessary task of the present Sovereign of the Turks to extirpate parties, but - a man on whom so heavy a load of blood guiltiness rests can never truly govern his people—lie can never be a pattern to them as a Sovereign should be. Only his innocent son will be able to effect it ; the father can only prepare the soil ; the fear which the father in spired can only be changed into love and respect for the Sovereign under the son. We have received this morning Bombay Couriers to the 24th of May, from which we give the following extracts: — We have been warned for two successive evenings of the S.W. Monsoon since Wednesday. The weather has been extremely cloudy, and on Thursday evening there was a gust of wind from the N.E., which swept before it all the dust yesterday evening. We had another squall with thunder and lightning and a shower of rain. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.: BOW-STREET. The number of charges brought by the New Police against persons found drunk in the streets is almost incre dible, in fact, the class of drunkards appear tH have re ceived more benefit from the alteration in the police than any other class. This morning a delicate-looking girl. named Sarah Ann Barton, was charged with robbing Joseph Guest of a watch, chain, and seals, value SOL, while be was drunk, at one o'clock this morning. One of the police found Guest lying drunk in l', , rtugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. A mob was collected, and the policeman was told that a girl dressed as the prisoner had just left the prosecutor. Witness took care of Guest, and then found the girl, who had nothing in her possession hut some pawnbrokers tickets ; and as he could make nothing of her, she was li berated. He was afterwards told by another policeman that the prisoner toad been trying to get over the pallisades into the burial ground, and when detected pretended to be tying her shoe. The officer found the watch, &e. ly ing within the burial ground, close to where she had been trying to get over, but nut of her reach when outside. The gentleman who first told the officer about the pri soner leaving the prosecutor Row swore positively to the prisoner's identity. She first told witness that she was the wife of Guestf, who now recollected nothing of her. Mr. AlitcstruLr. remanded the prisoner for re-examina tion, as she bad nothing to sly in her defence.

Calcutta Papers to the 22d April, Quebec Papers, to the 10th Sept., and Mauritius Papers to the 28th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Calcutta Papers, though not of a later date than the last received, are rather interesting in re gard to the Indigo crop, which state that letters were received from the adjacent districts, giving but a melancholy account of the progress made by the Planters in their sowings, the greater part of whom complain bitterly, whilst others write in apparently good spirits ; the truth is, that the rains have been partial ; the sowings amount to half and three-fourths of the lands in cultivation, and but a very few gen tlemen have been fortunate enough to complete their sowings, and some complain they have had no rain at all. In the Moorshebabad, Kishenger, Jes sere, and Jellalpore, loud complaints are making ; and it is the general opinion that down to the pre sent date the season promises to be much like that of the past year. (From the Quebec Paper of the 10th Sept.) ST. JOHN'S NEW BRUNSWICK, AUG. 25.—We are enabled to state, with certainty, that instructions have been received from home by his Honour the President, to appoint the Rev. B. G. Gray to the situation of Archdeacon of this Province, and it only waits the sanction of the Bishop of Nova Scotia. By a letter received from Riviere du Loup, it appears that the surveying party under Captain Bayfield were at that place on the 3d inst., having returned from the Gulf. The Mauritius Papers contain observations from a correspondence with the Secretary of the-Royal Astronomical Society of London, addressed to his Excellency the Governor by the Vice-President of the Royal Asiatic Society, stating that the Isle of France seems to be admirably fitted for astronomi cal observations. The climate is healthy, and the sky at all times uncommonly clear and serene, ex cepting for a short time, when there are violent gales of wind. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 89-a sellers for the Account, and for November 89k; at present the Market ap pears like a volcano. Thursday being settling day in Consols, it is expected the Bulls will give the Bears a severe lecture for their temerity. As yet it is impossible to say whether it will turn out Bull or Bear account. Money is becoming more plentiful. By the Hamburg packet, it is expected that we shall have the official articles of the Treaty of Peace with the Turks. In the Foreign Market little or no business doing, therefore current prices cannot be quoted at present. ENGLISH Bank Stock, - . 2114 12j India Stock, 2211 222-A- S per Cent.

Sll Letters from Bourdeaux, of the Gth of October, bring accounts that, owing to the continuance of the bad weather, great damage has been done to the vintage, and the quality of the wine of 1829 will not prove good. The letters from Egina of the Ist September state, that when the President was passing Spezzia on his way to Poros, Admiral Heyden was off Poros, with the greater part of his squadron. Count Augustine Capo d'lstria left Egina for the Continent, with a large sum of money, to pay the troops of Eastern Greece, who had revolted, not being paid for some time past. No speculation of consequence is at present going forward in the Consol market. The only business doing is making up the account against next Thurs day. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 89k for the present Account, and 89? buyers for November. The holiday of the Hebrews still continues, consequently but few of them ap peared in the market. To-morrow is settling day in the Foreign market. There is great hustle today in settling accounts. Brazil is the only Stock in Which any thing is doing. The other Foreign Securities remain at yesterday's prices. THREE O' CL O CK. Consols for account, S9i ; Ditto for Nov. 89-3-. THE MILITARY-LOCAL POLICE. Cork, October 4, 1829 (From the Cork Constitution.) We are authorised to state, that in addition to the correspondence which has been already made public on the subject of the withdrawing of the Military Guards, and substituting a Police in lieu thereof, the following officia l communication has since been re ceived by the 'Mayor : C . With reference to former communications on the same subject, I have now the honour to acquaint you, that Major-General Sir G. Bingham has received a communica tion from Dublin, stating, that, to enable the civil authori ties at Cork to make the necessary arrangements for forming a Local Police, that the Military Guards furnished in aid of the civil power, " may not he withdrawn until the first of Notember."--I have the honour to be, Sir, &e. C. TURNER, Lieut.-Col. and A. A. G. To the Mayor of Cork. COUNTY WATERFORD ELECTION. (Abridged from the Waterford Chronicle.) On Wednesday last the meeting which was an , nounced in our preceding publication took place in Dungarvan. The attendance on the occasion far exceeded what could have been expected on so short a notice. The attendance of gentlemen who ar peared on and near the bench was very numerous- - amongst them we observed Messrs. Galwey, Lon an, Power (Churchtown), P. G. Bar ron, Cave, AP., O'Connell, M.P., Wyse, O'Donnell (Car.. rick), Theobald Power, T. Hely, F. Kennedy, J. Kiely, T. Kiely, James Barron, H. W. Barron, O'Gorman, Foley, Power (Carrick), Philip Barron, D. Ronayne, James Galwey„ Dennehy, Purcell, P. Nettet ville Barron, Smith, Stafford, Lanigan, Fitz gcrald, &c. At half-past one o'clock JAMB# BARRON, of Georgestown, Esq. took the chair. It was moved by Philip Barron, Esq., Oronded by Dominick Ronayne, Esq., that Theobald POwer, Esq. be requested to act as Secretary to the meeting% A Committee was then appointed for the pur pose of drawing, up resolutions. Here two letters from Mr. Villiers Stuart were sent ,up, which, on being read as follows, were handed over to the Committee, who then retired W the Magistrates' room : I Dromana, Oct. 6, IS2/. Sta,—Having made up my mind as to the core s. which it will become me to pursue, I think it unnecetti sary, ned perhaps unadvisable, to attend the meeting of to-morrow, at Dungarvan, but request you will do me the favour of submitting to the county my enclosed letter, ad.- dressed to you as Chairman on the occasion. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, H. VILLIERS STUART: The Chairman of the Meeting of persons interested in the County Waterford Election, at Dungarvan. Dromana, Oct. 6, 1829: Sra,—Perceiving on my return to Dromana this even- ing, a notice in the Waterford chronicle of a public, meeting, relative to the election of a Candidate to succeed me in the representation of this county, I think it right not to let the occasion piss without making an explicit' statement of my sentiments on that subject.—Althougb. since the settlement of the Catholic Question, I am neither inclined nor called upon to enter very warmly into the local politics of the county, yet if upon the vacancy cause , ' by my retirement, it should be the intention of those Gen' tlemen who supported me at the last election to put in nomination a Candidate of their own choice, and that there appeared no essential difference in our general political views and opinions, to an individual so circumstanced, have no difficulty in saying, I am prepared to tender 04 support, and I trust the county of Waterford will alive)/ contain within itself a sufficient sense of its own dignirt and independence to preserve it from a blind subservieng to the will or dictation of any party or persons, whether they belong to us, or are wholly unconnected with otse county. There are times in which strong measures are not only justifiable, but necessary, for the accomplishment of a political object. The great end for which Ireland hat so long struggled, being happily at length attained, We shall no longer, I hope, weaken our force by intestine divisions, and a recurrence to religious distinctions, but endeavour to improve the advantages accruing from the late measure of conciliation, by discarding all fictious views, and by uniting in cordially promoting the general good of the empire at large. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HENRY VILLIERS STUART. To the Chairman, &e. &c. During the absence of the Committee, an indivi' dual was descried its the meeting who was suspected of being favourable to the Beresford party, Hie appearance excited considerable irritation, and he was assailed from all sides with loud cries of "Pot him out ! put him out !" and was in the most inv, minent danger of being instantly "extinguished but the Chairman rose to interpose, and stated that no individual, no matter what party he belonged tos should be molested, and called upon the meeting observe that decorum arid good conduct, withou t which their proceedings would lose much of theireffec t • Mr. O'CONNELL also interposed, and assured the meeting, that if they would but have a little patience they should hear the merits of the Beresfords veil fully and freely canvassed. The temporary excitation then subsided. In about fifteen minutes the Committee returned.' when THOMAS WYSE, Esq. addressed the Chair, stating that he held in his hand the first resolutice% in support of which he proceeded. The county e l Waterford, by a late unforeseen occurrence, Irad suddenly been placed in a new, but, he would no t add, a difficult position. Before the period in whic h its constituency might naturally be called on to e%i ercise afresh their important franchises, they hiS, been summoned to pronounce on the choice of Representative in Parliament. Mr. Stuart 10 formally the hands f intimated h sco i t ' is is tit i u n e te n n t i s t , io a n tr o u f st re C si o g n r f i e in r g re digl:: him after a struggle unexampled in the Parliarneut" ary records of this country. 'What may have he:: the considerations which suggested or decided t step, it was not for him to judge. A public 313 has a title to the fairest construction of his a ctiOlVs and in proportion as by his very situation, he is t rot:g especially exposed to t h e ex- p arte j ud g ment of hi° fellow-citizens, the wise and generous should be pro; portionably slow in adopt in g t he hasty COn; elusions of the multitude. But whatever to have been his motives, sure he was t i. h at they could only have originated fro m same spirit of high-mindedness which had been i ! lic invariable rule from his first appearance in puu.de life, of every portion of his public conduct. could not for a moment believe that with the uilicent career which his character, and the eitero which his fellow-countrymen, had opened to Illetir any little bias of party aggrandizement, any soy porary disgust at the solicitudes insepar abl Y , iP nected with the active duties of public life , couluePore the slightest degree, contribute to make him l o ge from its accomplishment. Mr. Stuart maY joy been led, by too hasty a calculation, into theobe pression that the newly modified constituency hag country were not adequate to the efforts which to signalized the existence of their the occurrences of almost every day, the 01 % 0 4 augmentation of the registries, not in this C ont ieg only, but in most other of the independent s horn in Ireland, were proofs sufficient that tbst h a t tv in some degree of its strength though, so alai CO! pressed in the display of its energies, the pop u 3 , 0 it stituency was by no means extinguished, and o rro t was still fully capable of coping with the stro_Sevo exertions of the obligarcliy. The spirit of 1826: 40 not yet dead ; the Ten-pound Freeholders hadro entrusted only with the concentred power olat, Forty-shilling Freeholders. They were the f tir ie predecessoreveriog the officers of that great civil force which.,!- t h years back had struck the first efficient blow 1 0 ' emancipation of the country.—(Cheerse„,,eo Stuart need not doubt of support in 180siot found more, with every difficulty to conteed. o f e ver in 1826, than his most sangine friends conl._,,tto have antiiiipated. Why then should be despagost we despair, who have combated for him? its e re we did, we can do again, if be will only giv e ave opportunity of doing it. Mr. Stu art maY 001 i signed, but there is no reason why Mr. StuarLiectioP not propose himself again to our flee. e v olie", Does he doubt our just appreciation of lus,.„ 0 01 0 , 1 mentary services ? Does lie think we are nr,,al t ed with his participation in the late magnift.,cuoreo mighty victory ? Irish Members in giinert!l ior the House of Commons, are distinguishednis, 040, inattention—they have curtailed, by perso c, ' o f 0 . gence, the advantages, slight as they ell ., i f , 1 , 0 Parliamentary representation. Mr. Stuaria sense, was certainly not Irish. He ws_ s fec tar tb organ of our wishes — a diligent q e f o re r our rights. His principles are . 0 00 sl vi public—they neither require a &lora inottrou eulogy. But should Mr. Stuart, I to eon _ lc which it may not be in your power the bon% or to direct, still persist in retiring from upon be which your partiality would still collie:lc toll, t. what is to be done ?
