Not W ithetanding the decision in the C4istle-yard that day, he felt proud of the success ref the causes for: success he must call it, when he was tonnnated Iliac the signatures to the petition in favour of emancipation would go forth with all the weight' that belengsd to a vast majority of the rank and respectability of the county of Devon. Lord Eante=oN proposed the health of Mr. Buller, of Dosssises, with three times three. Mr. BULLER, in returning thanks, said that the pert aseined him in the preceedinge •!* '.: do) tie consiPterel as the highest honour which ceuid be con fer' ed upon him. He lied watched the progress of 'public opinion on this important question, and he was glad to find the number of its supporters was daily increased. The practices which had been men tioned as having been resorted to by a certain party to increase their numerical majority, he regretted ; nod unless he had heard it from such good authority, e'octicl scarcely have believed it iiould have been put in practice by any set of men claiming to be respect able. One consolatiOn, however, he derived from it ; it ;erase. proof of a falling cause. (Cheers.) For when men stooped to such means, it was clear that they were driven to their last shift, and that they could ant support their principl,..s by the legitimate course of fair public dikeussion. Indeed, indepehdently of this, they hail other strong proofs tient thee :-ause of thir opponents was rapidly declining. was one which hied not been, and would not be, deserted by its friends, and Po .nhich daily converts were made from the ranks of its enemies; for the conviction was rapidly gaining ground, :hat the continuance of the penal code was e it stigma on our constitution. Lord Jolts Penssenn proposes! .he health of Lord Seymour, and observed that his Lordship was ready to enforce the arguments in favour of the amend ment ; but scarcely had he opened his mouth, when be was interrupted, not from any dislike to him, but from a fear that asy thing which might be said should bring conviction to minds which they did not wish should be convinced. This was another proof of the weakness and injustice of the cause of their adversaries. As a bystander at the meeting of that day, he had made his remarks upon the proceedings, and had observed that, with one ceeeption, there had been no allusion whatever to the reign of the bloody Queen Mary. This was some approach to nu improvement in the conduct of their opponeets ; for it would be recollected that on almost all former occasions, the crews of Mary's reign had been dwelt upon, and arguments used to show, that if further eonees-ions were grahted to the Catholics, the fires if Smithfield would again begin to blaze. The march of their adversaries in intellect was but slow, vet they had made some progress, for they had al ready advanced nearly 140 years, and came down to the period of the Revolution; and though he would not go into any historical details respecting the events of that period, he must observe that those who drew arguments from them forgot one little circumstance, that • the Roman Catholics of that day were attached to the House of Stuart, which House had now ceased to exist. (Cheers.) Several gentlemen had expressed a wish that the time might arrive when the Roman Catholics might be admitted to all the- privileges of the constitution. With that adinission, the question lay in a very nar row compass: it ,was this—when was the time to came at which they might be so admitted? This was a question of degree, and, as such, perhaps, was not the fittest subject for discussion at a county meeting; yet they might stop a Utile to examine how far the admission was likely to be injurious to liberty. . Ott this subject they had Mr. Fox, the strenuous, the almost extravagant assertor of civil liberty ; he was in favour of emancipation. Was it likely to injure the church ? Let them look to Mr. Pitt, the earnest asserter of the rights and privi leges of the Church; and he also wuran .advocate for that principle. Was it likely to injure the prin ciples of the Revolution? They found Mr. Burke the most strenuous asserter of those principles, and he was a warm advocate of emancipation. these, perhaps, wereTpersors in the foie-top, and saw land sooner than those who were engaged on the deck, and, certainly, long before those who were still in the hold (cheers and laughter); and if lie were to pursue the allusion further, he might say long, long before the many who were engaged in the biscuit room. (Continued laughter.) He would not tree.- pew; on their attention, for they were all agreed on the principle that it was grossly unjust to deprive any !nen of their eligibility to otlice because of their religious opinion. He hoped, and he was sure they ad hoped, they would see the day when such dis greceful tests were erased from the Statute Book. The Noble Lord then gate, " The Health of Lord Seymour," which was drank with three times three, with great applause. Load Sin - Kona returned thanks. The Rev. J. P. Joetas said, that, as one of the Vice-Presidents, he would propose the health of Lard John Russell, a most distiriguielted member of that distinguiehed noble family who might be leoked upon as the hereditary defenders of our glori- Gee coneiitutien. The Rev. Gentlemen then en tered into a long eulogy upon the merits of the Noble Lord, ztie! of those ancestors f-re •vhen. tar derived hie mime, as well as his claim to the best re gards of every man who valued the liberties of his country. The toast w.ts drank with loud and immense cheering. Lord J. RUSSELL :mtrned thanks. The Rev. Mr. .MACAULEY, of Plymouth, after de precating the notion that the Church was in danger, lied observing that it might indeed he considered iv mess hat in jeopardy if it required such assistance for its support, observed it was a libel upon tturcli to assert that it could only be kept up by keeping 30,000 bayonets constantly presented to the breasts of the Roman Catholics. They might in deed say, it was a weak ease-- Si tali auxiiio, ai de feaaoribus iatia rgil. The Rev. Gentleman went on to contend that however well disposed the Rottian ©np. tbolics of Ireland might be to ',Weil to the irt3trttc= tions of those who held mit to the it the tospel, they would recede froth the t•roffet-cd instruction, when git-tn b those who held the B:hle in one hand aid the sword in the other. In conclusion he pro posed the health of the Rev. Chabeellor Martin and the other Protestant C:erv,•men who attended the tnceting . for the PtVrpose of supporting the cause of emsol The Rev. I. P. JONES, in the absence of the Rev. Chancellor Martin, returned thanks. Sir. GEORGE BAMPFVLDE proposed the beulth of Eh' ington in a short speech, in which he cnla gized the public and private conduct of that Noble Lord, It was drunk With loud and repeated arm. L9td ti3kNGTON returned thanks. After the health of the Hon. N. Fellowes. Mr. Wu. COURTENAY proposed the health of the Right lion, Lord Fotteseue, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, which wa drltuk with loud cheers. Lord El!n/NVI`GN returned thanks on behalf of his father, and expressed his regret that bodily in disposition had prevented his attendance at the meeting. The Duke of SOMERSET having left the Chair, Lord Ebringrou and several of the Gentlemen left the room. Mr. TYRRELL was called to the (Thai", and his hcdth being drank, in returning thanks, he said, that when he had been requested to take a part at the Exeter meeting, he had willingly acceded, not only because he was the zealous friend of religions li berty, but because he was a native-of the country m rst interested in tile question of Catholic emanci pation. Perhaps the opinion which he had formed and expressed would not have the le - ss weight, .vhen he declared that_ he had formed those opinions in spite of early prepossessions and prejudices, for he was the son of an Orangeman, and the member of a family, who in the year ninety-eight had borne a conspicuous part in the support of the Protestant ascendancy. They had heard a strong argument used to-day in favour of Catholic emancipation, " that of eight successive Lords Lieutenant, six bild returned converts to the question of Catholic eman cipation ;" but, gentlemen, said Mr. Tyrrell, no one who is tinacquainteg with the nature of Irish society can form any adequate idea of the immense force of this nr;4nment. A Lord-Lieutenant upon his arrival in Dublin finds himself surrounded with Orangemen—every thing he hears is in favour of Protestant Acei,ndancy and against the Catholic— he live., in fact, in an Orange hemisphere, which I can only cotnpate to a London fog in the month of November; and glaring indeed must be the evils of Catholic exclusion, if a single ray of light from them can pierce this mist of bigotry and intolerance, and tli? Hr 1 7:f die Virt:!-:, The eon% iviality of the meeting was kept op to a late hour. (mon THE REPORTER OF THE TIMES• =ET/ SATURDAY, JAN. 17. You will perceive from the accompanying report of the meeting of yesterday (which I have taken in great part from two accounts published here to-'ley in the Western Times and Wouleacr's Gyzette), that the hopes of the liberal party, to which I alluded in my letter of Thursday, have for the present been di.- appointed. The object which they proposed te carry was lost, as you will observe, by a numerical majority. • The No-Popery party was had a triumph, if that can be so called which was gained by a bois terous assemblage, consisting in a greet part of the lowest order of persona, who refused to listen to any thing like discussion, and who systematically inter :. •pted every individual who did not belong to the party which so many of them had been paid to support. By number: alone did the No-Popery party succeed in obtaining their temporary triumph, and though even here the disparity was not so greet as to give much to boast of, still if those numbers expressed the enhought and unbiassed opinions of those of whom they were composed, they would be entitled to respect. Here, however, the party failed; for oat being able to bring together, by the mere influence of public principle, a party sufficiently strong to effect their purpose, the No-Popery leaders had recourse to means not less effectual in securing an attendance. Those who could not be per suaded to come on public grounds, were induced to attend from motives of private interest. • As an illustration of this I may refer you to the statement of Captain Buller at the dinner, with respect to a party of his own labourers, whom he found on their way to the Meetine, with scarcely any other know ledge of their object than that they were to be guided by some persons in the Castle-yard, who were to pay them titer day's hire. But the history of this Meeting is not limited to one such example. The case of the Brixham men furnishes another. These men—nearly the whole of vehom are (judging from their appearance) persons moving in the humblest walks of life—were brought from their homes, a distance of 28 miles, in covered waggons, and the expellees of their journey defrayed. This was so little of a secret, that it was openly stated by many at the Meeting, and not contradicted. In the very freqeent interrnetions which took place in the course of the day, many public appeals were made to the Sheriff to call " the Brixhem men" to order, and it was publicly declared that they had been hired for the purpose of crewing disturbance. If that was the object of their employment, it waa, no doubt, eminently successful ; for the uproar they kept up :3'31 incessant, and was most effectual in preventing a fair hearing to any person not at their side of the huatings. The expense incurred in obtaining the sup port of these and others equally active in the same cause trite considerable; and I was assured, on au thority which could not for a moment be questioned, that one individied had expended the sum of 150 guineas in " bringing up his men." That the large . masses so collected were well instructed in the part they were to perform, could not be doubted by any person who witnessed their conduct in the course of the day. There seemed to have been preconcerted a - regular system of signals in a manner similar to that adopted by the Brunswick party at the late Le e& meeting. Two large Ullioll flags were hoisted on poles in the centre of the no-Popery side. When ever these were waved, a loud shout was raised by the surrounding crowd, sufficient to drown the voice of the most powerful speaker; and it was remarked by all who to:ik all retentive view of what passed, that these flags were eertr raised during the speech of any party on the right of the Sheriff, but that they were in frequent ectivity while the speakers on the left were addressing the meetin g . This was so obvious, that many persons called out to have the flags removed, as they were evidently used as signals for disturber:Ace. They were, however, kept in use till the dose of the proceedings. I men tioned above, that the difference between the nume rical strength of the parties who vo'ed was not of itself a ground of triumph, even if the majority had been honestly obtained. Upon this point 1 may notice the statement of a paper published here to (Woolmer's Gazette), which asserts that the numbers in support of the petition against emanci pation exceeded that of their opponents in the pro portion! of 15 to 1. I heard of others who fixed the majority at 20 to 1; and some in their zeal car ried it as high as 100 to 1. The lowest of the esti mates is a gross exaggeration. The majority in clude the women and boy.; who were on the eleva tion at t! , :• right of the heistie , end 'wire 7'etCr) with, acid formed no inconsiderable addition to that side, was at no show of hands and hats more than two to one, if even so much. But, not counting the women and children, I should say that it :night be to ken at very little, if at all, exceeding three to two. A simple fact will explain the only founda tion on which those extravagant accounts, to. which I have adverted, could for a moment rest. The suc cessful exertions of the party on the right to prevent Lord John Russell, Lord Seymour, Sir T. Aeland, and °theta on the left, from being heard, gate great displ2asure to the liberal side, which was much increased when the Sheriff (after the confused discussion noticed in the report) refused to dissolve or adjourn the meeting, and proceeded to put - the question. To mark their sense of what they considered as unfair treatment, it was sug gested by many gentlemen on the left that they should not hold up their hands at all on the amend ment ; and when the Sheriff put the question (which was by holding tip a placard printed in large letters, desiring those in favour cf the amendment to hold up their hats) there were only a very few, and those in the more remote parts of that side 'oho held up their hats. As compared with these, it would be correct enough to say, that the majority was twenty to one, or eren greater ; but it should be recollected, that this apparent indifference lasted only on that question ; for on putting the others when all the hats and hands were held up at each side, the majority in my opinion was, as I have said, little, if at all, more than three to two. This is not merely my own opinion; it is, I have the [teat reasons for know ing, that of several of the most distinguished indivi duals who were present, and who;-from their posi tion, had an excellent opportunity of forming a correct opinion on the subject. I must, however, in fair ness add, that some other most respectable patio', and similarly placed, stated to me that they believed the majority to be between two and three to one in favour of the no-Popery petition. Be this as it may, after what I have shown of the manner in which the majority was collected, it would add very little to the real weight of the petition, eren if it were thrice as great. But there is an easy way of petting the real question at rest. Both the petitions are now lying for signatures in severe] parts of the county, and kiatliarnent and the public will soon have an op portunity of nseertaininr , whether the honest senti ments of the majority of the nobility, gentry, and freeholders of Devon, on this mist inspottant ques tion, were fully eXpressel by the' hired men of Brixham and their noisy coadjutors 'in the Casth - yard of Exeter. One word as to the number of persons present. It was stated in the papers here, that there were about 10,000 or 11,000 persons present. I have reason to believe that the assembly considerably exceeded that number. The Caatic-yard is an area of about 120 yards by 60, which would give a space of 7,200 square yards. '1 his is exclusive of a kind of slope or elevation from the level of the yard to what was fornietly the top of the Castle wall. This slope could contain a very large number, besides that placed on.the level aim A surface of 7,200 square yards would contain 36,000 persona, at five to a square yard. Abset one half of the whole space was covered by the mul titude, and though in some places not very thickly, vet in others, near the hustings, the mass was as densely packed as it could well be. Takittg the mean of all the places at five, I should say that there were-not less than 16,000 or 17,000 persons present at one tune in the yard. Many others who saw the '.!,11!C:!1 :k or opinion. SPEECH OF SIR J. GRAHAM AT THE CUMBERLAND ELECTION. (From the Carlisle Journal.) Gentlemen, I am iadependent—l am for the great body of the people. (Cheers.) You would despise me, I should, he aehained of myself, could i z be capable of paring down my political sentiments; to suit the views of a party, or to. &sensible my feelings to geitt the support of any portion of the freeholdere, to whose suffrages I aspire. Such as has been my pnblie conduct, such it will continue to be. I will not say what changes time may effect. Time, which has its effect upon all things, has not, I hope, passed over my head in vain. It has moderated some of my views, and it has abated some of the ardour of youth ; but it has not changed any of the great political principles upon which I commenced my political life. (Cheersi.) All the pr:i.eiples with which I set out in life I now hold. I am the opposer of all , john—of all onneceseary ontlay— (applauee)—the staunch and unflinching advocate of eco nomy in the public expenditure, and for the abolition of all unnecessary places and sinecures (Greet applause.) I am anxious for a reduction of taxation; as fari'an consists with the honour, the dignity, and the safety of the' nation. (Cheers.) lam the advocate of all gradual and temperate reform of the abuses in Church and State.— (Cheers.) Although lam an adherent of that small pay still remaining in.the Howse of Commons who maintain the rights and privileges of the people in opp,ition to the power sod infinence of the Court—and although I conaisier party am the best riepoeitmy of public principles, by the power it has in holding men to their professions, I am no advocate of faction, and can never he made the tool of any party. (Cheers.) As a proof of what I say, I tell you that I believe we have now a prime Minister who is anxious to introduce economy into every department of the State—who has evinced a disposition and a power to maintain the peace of the country. Thinking as I do, that economy and peace are necessary to the happiness of the people, thus far I give the Deice Wellington my support.—(Great applause.)---I do not think it neoessery to enlarge upon any of these topics, or to detain you by a farther exposition of nay ;sen timent,' ; hot you would despise the pusillanimity, by which 1 worth! be degraded, if I should blink a question which egitetss tine country from one end to the other— which divides and breaks up cabinets—which threatens to dissever the one kingdom from the other ; and which may . .justly be said to " fright the isle from its propriety." need not say I allude to the Catholic Qneetion. Now, Gentle:nen, as candid dealing is the most honourable, and what you have the right to expect, I will state to yon ho nestly, at whatever risk of losing the support of indivi dual., my views npon the question. (Cheers.) I am an ad vocate, then, of concession, coupled with proper sefeguards —oriak such securities as are necessary to a Protestant peo ple. (Cheers.) I think with the Duke of Wellington, that the settlement of this spleatton 'would confer a gensral bene fit upon any individual in the state; and I also think with him that the party violence by which this question is discussed tends materially to retard its progress ; but I differ from him in thinking that the question might be buried in oblivion ; and I go farther and lacy if it could it ought not.—(Cheers.)—In whatever way we look, Ire land stares ns in the fsce, anti demands redress's ; era mey hate the subject, we may dreed its influence—bat we must settle the question. Do 1 approve of unqualified conces sion? No ; no more than I approve of interminable op position to the Claims. Do I approve of the Cetholic Association ? No, no more than 1 approve of the violence of the Brunswick Club's. But I say the question is not one of extremities ; I say there is a way in which we may escape the dilettante, end that the petit of safety is the middle course.—(Cheers.)—lelvould have the qnestion settled justice done without reference to the wishes, much less to the threats of the Catholics ; I would hive the Government of this Protestant country-to give to the Catholic Nobility and Gentry these rights which they claim, with such securities as are consistent with our Con e stitutien ; and by doing this act of juetica we should se cure to Ireland internel peace.--(Cheere.) M r . Ti m ms, who has succeeded Mr. Sykes ss Solicitor of Stnmpe, held, during the life of the latter named gentleman, the place of h:s Deputy. The ap pointment of Mr. Holroyd, which was prematurely stated in all the Newspapers, would have been carried into ef fect, hut for the interference of the Duke of Wellington, in sontelitence of which Mr. Timms is to perform the duty, receiving, however, only a moiety of the emoluments hitherto attached to the office.

C. agent for the nearest kindred Reel relativee of the late James NeVil son, commonly ca:led " thkft Jamie," to trite of his _constituents, who has given us •permission to make the following extract : Mir. Monro his just re turned from the consultation with Messrs. Jeffrey, Miller, and Sandford. In point of strict law, it. is the (Tinian of these gentlemen that the prosecution of Hare can proceed; at all events, that the matter may very proper !y be tried, They concur in think ing that Hare alone ought to be the party to be tried : that applica , ion shohld be made thst to con tinue him in prison; and that the whole evidence should then be got, and an indictment prepared." We trust, therefore, that the statement of Mr. Jeffrey being retained as counsel in this case, will no longer be considered as " apocryphal" by the Scots mune-Who might easily have ascertained the correct ness of our information had he given himself the trouble to inquire. It thus appears that our vi e ws in regard to the liability of Hare to be tried, at the instance of the private party have been adopted and sanctioned by the eminent Counsel already named ; and it is equally evident, from the above opinion, that they consider the Lord Advocate, pa public prosecutor, bound to grant his concurrence as a mat ter of course. Burke, we undostand, has offered to make isn- portant disclosures to an individiud he has named,- 1 provided that indiddual be admitted to him in the company of his Confessor. The gentleman pointed out by him as the intended depositary of hiAproffered revelations is - a respectable man of business, of the Catholic persuasion, from whom we have ascertained the correctness of*this information ; but, on applying to the civic authorities here, it was refused, in virtue of positive orders, which had boon issued from a higher quarter to exclude every one except the Con fessor and other spiritual guides of the wretched cri minal. The gentleman - referred to then applied, by letter, to the Lard Advocate for admission, offering, at the same time, to communicate his notes of what the wretched man might disclose, to his Lordship or any other of the authorities whom he might choose to point out ; hut to this application no answer was returned. After waiting in rain several days for a reply, the gentleman in question addressed Mr. Peel on the subject, inclosing a copy of the letter trans mitted to his Majesty's Advocate, and earnestly so ;citing an order from the Home Office for admission to the criminal, which, it is expected, he will ob tain. We are quite satisfied, from what we have heard, that Burke has several, we should rather, perhaps, say many, circumstances of the utmost im portance to disclose; and it would be a suliject of deep regret were any point of punctilio or etiquette to prevent his shriving himself sod unpacking his heart of the horrid secrets with which it is burthened. A rumour is in circulation that another' slaughter house has been discovered ; and if we may credit the statements which have been made to us, informa tion to that effect, hss been given to the proper quarter. /ASIVS• THE FEMALE HUSBAND. The funeral of this extraordinary woman took place on Saturday, and' was followed to the grave by ae immense concourse of persons, who were at traded in consequence of the very singular circum stances that were disclosed at her decease. The de• ceased, during her life-time, used to receive a little money quarterly, but from what source she never disclosed to Mary Allen, who has reason to !believe that the deceased invested money in the hinds of some person, for which she received interest. The deceased's unfortunate partner is - plunged in' great distress since the accident, which terminated the life of the former. It appeared that tho survivor was wholly dependent on her for support, and at the time of t er death, there was not as much money in her possession as would pay the expenses of inter ment. Miry Allen represented herself to he about 11 years of age, her name before the ceremony of marriage between het• and the deceased was Nsylor, and her father is now alive, and resides in the Mint, and follows the trade of a bedstead maker ; lint' he is in very indigent circumstances, and wholly tumble to be of the slightest assistance to his daughter, therefore, the poor creature is completely thrown on the world, destitute of the means of support. Mr. Crisp, with whom ate deceased had worked, up to' the time of his death, has conttibuted a little money in order to enable Mary Allen to purchase a little mourning; but the expenses attendant on the fune ral, remain unpaid. The survivor of the extraordi luny marriage is a very short, and rather stout woman ; there is nothing whatever prepossessing in her appearance. She hes been taught the trade of a bonnet-maker since marriage, but owing to an acci dent wh;ch happened to her about nine months ago, when chopping a piece of wood, by which she lost the fare-finger of her left hand, this misfortune rendered ::er incapeble of obtaining a subsistence by that trade. The deceased's wages were about 225. a week, butt she frequently earned more by assisting to work ships down the river, and she has been known to go op the shrouds, and even sent to the yard-arra of a topsail-yard, either to assist in furling or unfurling the sail. She is also described to hare been of the most sober habits, never exceeding a pint of porter in the day. The deceaved had a great dread of coming to poverty, and of so saving a dist= position was she, that if she happened to pick up any thing on the river side, such as meat, fat pieces of pork, or any other description of article, she would take them home and convert them to some use, either as food for her cat, er in some other way.

The estimated revenue was c,iculated on the produce of 1826 ; the augmentation between 1827 snd 1828 is 28,865,000 francs in favour ofthe Jotter.

A winter campaign in the desert , ' of Bnlgaria appears to he attended with greater difficulties for the Turks ti.an for our troops. A mere fill of snow sufficed to disperse one of the enemy's corps which had shown itself about Para vadi. Since that time not a Tarkisli soldier has been seen.- Every thing is tranquil in all our cantonments, and our advanced ,posts occupy unmolested the banks of the Kano*, chick, Vsravadi, anti Coushidjik.

Immediately en receipt of the first news of the bloeknde of the Dardanelles, the Ports ordered regular caravans for the conveyance of corn by camels is various directions to the (mete of Asia Minor and Syria. It is affirmed that 9,000 of those animals are already allotted to this teeeriee. Besides, several ships with provisions, have lately arrived from the Rtypian ports in the Black See. Under these circumstances, the prices of bread and ether provisions have not risen since the blockade of the Dardanelltea ; nay, the Government has, of its own accord, deaieteilrom the intended removal of all the Greek and Armenian Rajas not regulerly settled in the, capital.

Since the death of Dachanib Effendi, the opinion of lltani Bey has had the greatest weight in the Divan.

A Ruesian Cabinet Messenger, with despatches from St. Petersbnrgli for Lender, pasaul through this city yeeterday. No one who looks into the history of the Fitzwilliarn Atiminietratien can fail to be "truck with the many points of similarity between the care of the Viceroy of 1795 and that of 1829. Even the language of the ardent public men of both periods has a striking resem blance. Sir Laurence Parsons asked, in the Irish House of Commons, on the 2d of March, 1795, " whether the British Minieter was to eontrnul all the interests, talents, and inclinations of Ireland? I ornteet to God (Raid he), that in all the histories which I have read, I have never met with a parallel of such ominous infatuation as that by which he appears to be led. Let him persevere, and >on must incrcese your army to myriads. Every man mast have five or six dragoons in kis house." If the army was not increa'ed " to myriads," it was increased to over 100,000 men ; and fifty millions of pound; sterling did not (to use the Wort:s of Mr. O'Connell) pay for what ever delight John 801 l took in governing Irelandl , adly, in e single year, closely following the recall of Lord Fite wiliiam. The determination of the English Minister to recall Lord Fitawilliam was taken on the 10th of Fe bruary, 1795, but the Noble Earl did not depart for more than six weeks afterwards. The interval afforded time to Ireland to speak through all the divisions, and enb-divi • sions of its pootiletion.—More of military celerity in the state movements is observable on the present occasion— awl for ohvions reasons.

An unusual press of metter.prevents us from doing more than pointing atteneion to the Devon Brunswick Meeting, the result of which, how ever apparently flattering to the Brunswickers, is in reality any thing but s.atisfaetwy, inasmuch as their triumph arts the triumph' Of chicanery, not oriustice. But we may revert to this to-morrow. The Prussign Stale Gaictie of the 11th inst. contains what may be termed an official account, from St. Petershurgh, of the situation of affairs near Varna. It appears that the Turks find the severity of the weather more detrimental to their plans than the Russians. A mere fall of snow' was sufficient to disperse a whole corps of the Turks which had shown itself near Paravadi. Every thing remained tranquil in that quarter about the latter end of December; and the Russian advanced poste occupied, unmolested, the banks of the Kamtschik, Pararadi, and Couzlidjik. The Turks had made a sally •from Giurgevo, but were repulsed with iigonr. Meantime both parties are preparing to renew the war upon a more 'enlarged, and consequently more decisive scale. The PORTE is busy in equipping a fleet, and the supply of provisions to Constantinople has been amply provided for. The blockade was not materially felt, nor was it likely to influence the determination of the SULTAN so far as corn was concerned, for he had taken the precaution to get regular caravans for the conveyance of corn from the coasts of Asia Minor. -apd-Syria. For this 'italic's° about 9000 camels. were, col- Gibraltar Chronicles to the 29th Dec. have been received, by which we are happy to learn that the epidemic had entirely disappeared, for there was no fresh ease nor • any death for some time. The Lieutenant-Governor issued a procla mation, stating it to he the opinion of Dr. PtM, Chief of the Medical Department, that the fever had completely ceased, and orders were therefore given to the inhabitants to purify their clothes, bedding, furniture, &c., to prevent a recurrence of the disease, such as had taken place in Malta, in 1812-13. His Majesty's ship, Orates, had ar rived from off Tangiers, as all differences were considered to have been amicably adjusted. Calcutta Papers to the 31st July have been received, but they do not contain any news. Extracts from the French Papers will be found in another eolu'ran. By the official table of the Revenue it will be seen that the receipts for 1828 Are 29,0(40,000 francs, or about mil lion and a quarter over those of 1827. German Papers of the 12th inst. have been received this morning, and fully confirm the 3ini 7 picions which we entertained respecting the " sanguinary battle " before Varna, and the of tuck upon Varna by the Grand Vizier • with 70,000 men, all which memorable events did not occur at all, for the accounts were merely invented to deceive the people ! The blockade of the Dardanelles commenced nu the 14th November, by a squadron uncle Admiral IncoßD, who had just arrived two houi too late to prevent the entrance of 21 ships, carrying 200,000 kilos of corn, with which they got safely into Constantinople AUGBBUR9N, JAN. 11. Nrzrelitnrgh Courier, which had an article dated Widdia, Dec. 21 , , reporting that the Grand Vizier, with 70,060 men, had attacked Vitriw, where there had been a sanguinary battle, has sow I . :.nother rrticle, dated Widdin, Dec. 28, to the fol lowing effect :--- , The account of tho battle neer Varna is not con fimned. The Greeks in Wallachia publish such • tccoinits in order to deceive the people. We must alio correct what WAS Hold of the Vice-President, to whmn the Government of the Principalities is en ti tasted during the absence of Count Pablen. It is not General Prprwcky, bat Pflajor-General Von Gotteslow, to whom that post has been given. At the commencement of the year, there is to be arm's. geticrol levy of rtattita Wallachia.
