IRELAND. (Abridged from ibe Dublin Evening Post.) " THE/ CONSPIRACY." The Courier will have it that there is a Conspiracy 7 -as-base and unprincipled" a con spiracy as ever disgraced the annals of this or any other country, against the Duke of Wel lington and his Majesty's Ministers. That there is a conspiracy to calumniate and run them down, we can easily credit—for we see the evi dences of such a disposition in the columns of the Tory Press of England as well as of Ireland. But in the political history of this country, the existence of such a combination, and fbr such purpose, is no curiosity. It is a thing of con stant occurrence—and , really we thought, until lately, that Ministers and the Liberal Press re garded these matters as entitled to more notice than they deserved. But Ministers know their ground—they were aware of the progress of " the conspiracy"—they knew that a system of unparalleled calumny formed part of the plot— but they could scarcely have imagined, we should think, that one of the most cautious and wily politicians of the age has implicated himself in the scene. We believe this to be the case. We believe that a personage of high rank and of great influence has been giving advice to the Orangemen of Ireland how to conduct their pro ceedings—that he has been spiriting the Faction up to oppose the Government, if necessary, and that the Faction in consequence, has resolved to have another grand field-day on the 12th of August, should not vigorous measures, in the interim, be adopted by Government. Now, that the letter to which allusion was made in our last was written to Newry, we believe, nay, further, that the person to whom that letter was written exhibited it to official persons in this country is certain. We go further—we assert that a copy of that communication is now in the hands of the Duke of Wellington. What his Grace may advise his Majesty to do in conse quence, we shall not pretend to conjecture. But if something decisive shall not be done, it is clear that the existing Government cannot stand. If this interference of high and influential, but irresponsible persons with the Government of Ireland, without subjecting the individual to a legal responsibility, be suffered to continue, it is evident that the days of the present Administra tion are numbered. We had written so far when the Iliad was put into our hands. The substance of the contra diction (?) contained in this Journal, we take leave to submit to our readers : " Some persons high in authority in London —s o me man in power, wrote, or caused to be written, a very inflammatory letter addressed to a gentleman in this country. It bore the signa ture of one of the most estimable and patriotic Noblemen- in the empire, was franked in his name, and passed free —of course by orders— through the Post 'Office. The object of the epistle was apparent ; but the hoax was manifest, the forgery too clumsy to pass current with any others than the Irish Administration, who were not let into time secret, and the Editor of the Evening Post. Its contents have been the cause of much ink shed as well to my Lord Leveson Gower in the way of a special epistle, to Mr. Peel, the Home Secretary, as it has been to our esteemed Cotemporary,' the Evening Post ; and we should not be in the least surprised if it yet furnished forth matter for a tract addressed to the Marquis of Lansdowne." Then, it is admitted, , g that some person, high in authority in London, wrote a very inflamma tory letter to a gentleman in this country." There is no doubt, therefore, according to the Hall, that the grandis et verbosa epistola was written, that it was a very inflammatory one, that it was intended to produce mischief in this country, and that it was addressed, with that view, to a distinguished leader of the armed Orangemen in Ireland. There is no doubt, in one word, of the existence of such a letter. Fur ther, there is no doubt that it bore the signature of an " estimable" Nobleman—that it was frank ed in his name, and passed through the Post office. We may as well, once for all, mention the name of this " estimable and most patriotic Nobleman," who despatched a highly " inflam matory letter" to Ireland, with a view, as the Mail is obliged to acknowledge, of producing confusion andbloodshed. This estimable and patriotic Nobleman then is, John, Earl of Eldon —Ex-Lord Chancellor of England. But, quoth the Mail, it is all a hoax—a clumsy for gery—a thing that would impose upon no one grit Lord Leveson Gower and the Editor of the Dub ?z Evening Post. What ! upon no one else ? Ccrne, come, Gentlemen—answer these questions. Did it not impose on Mr. Ellis? Did not Sir George Hill, your own dear Sir George—your champion and pillar of the Pro testant cause, believe in :its genuineness ? Did he not, now ? You have the means of ascertaining the Worthy and Right Hon. Baronet's opinions at any moment you please. But you say it is a forgery—nay, you pre tend that it was forged by a man of power in London—an enemy to the venerable Eldon— that this man of power—this man high in au- thority, not only forged the Learned Lord's name, but risked a halter, by forging his well known frank. Here is a charge of a most hei nous crime against some one. But your "True Protestants" are not very delicate in their de nunciations. However, in this case the charge is vague enough, for names and descriptions are kept carefully in the back ground. But there is, indeed, a serious and distinct charge against the Postmasters-General of England and Ire land, or, at least, against the Secretaries of the English and Irish Post Offices respectively. It is stated that this letter, so forged by a man in high authority, was ordered to be dispatched through the Post Office by the said high Per sonazre—and that it was passed accordingly. He must be a man of high authority, indeed, that would order the Officas of such an esta blishment to violate their duty, and to commit a manifest perjury. We do not think that such a man is now to be found high in authority, and that there is among the officers of the Post-Office any individuals who would perjure themselves at his bidding or request. But we will put the matter to a short issue. The Brunswick Club have several letters of Lord Eldon in their pos session. We call on them to compare the hand writing, the frank, and the seal. But the matter is really too plain to admit of argument. The letter was written by the indi vidual whose signature it bears, and, if we are not much misinformed, it has been NNithdrawn by that individual. We doubt whether it is now in Ireland. If it were a hoax, the friends al Lord Eldon, or Lord Eldon himself, need not be so uneasy about it. He might let the hoax explode—he might suffer the letter to be published—he might laugh at the scurvy efforts of his enemies, and he might take a manly ven geance on them by the exposure. But no— Instead of publication, we are put off' with " some very curious particulars connected with this letter," which are to be told to the world some time next spring. For our own parts, we have not the slightest doubts on our minds that there is " a Con spiracy." FOREIGN IN 1' ELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Illessager des Chambres.) PARIS, AUG. 4.—A letter from Lisbon, of the 18th July, says that three French frigates which were stationed in the Tagus had sailed. The Fau con was the only man-of-war remaining at Lisbon. The Provence (of the line), on arriving before Algiers, where it resumed the command, anchored off the city, at such a distance from it as not to be exposed to the fire of the batteries. While it was thus posted, an English frigate, with all her sails set, entered the harbour in spite of the blockade, while the French ships were unable to oppose its passage. Letters from Bayonne say that it is again in con templation to extend the fortifications of that place to the first line of redoubts which Marshal Soult had thrown up in 1814. This measure, which would make Bayonne a city of the second class, would infallibly draw to it a great number of inhabitants. Summonses have been issued by M. Desmortiers, Juge d'lnstruction, against the Editors of the Con slitutionnel, the Courrier Francais, and the Journal du Commerce. It is affirmed that the articles com plained of relate to the affair of Galotti, and that the prosecution is according to the law of 1819, at the instance of the Prince of Castelcicala, Ambas sador of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies. The Gazelle de Smyrne, of June 21, says the epidemic fevers prevail on board the Russian squadron at Poros, which are very fatal to the crews. According to the same Journal of the 28th, the Russian Admiral, finding that his men were so unhealthy at Poros, had lately left that place with his squadron, and was gone to Natiqsa, in the isle of Poros. Two ships of the line, two frigates, and several smaller vessels, had been seen steering to wards the island. (From the Constitutionnel.) Letters from Martinique of June 23 and 25 say " Our Governor, M. de Freycinet, arrived from Cayenne on the 19th inst., on board the Diana cor vette, and assumed the reins of Government the same day. " General Barre, Governor pro interim, sails for France in a few days. It is said that he would have made large concessions to the Colonists in the pro mulgation of the new ordinance, but for the opposi tion of a great public functionary. But the•name of General Barre is connected with too interesting a period for us not to respect him on that account. The people of colour will remember with pleasure that it was under his administration that the regula tions of the judicial organizations were promulgated at Martinique. _ _ However, the lot of the people of colour is not changed, and nothing is omitted to drive them to despair. In the month of January last, in the town of Sr. Pierre, a man was sold by auction, together with his mother, who had enjoyed liberty for 36 years. The people of colour spontaneously opened a subscription for their unhappy victims. The Co lonial 'Aristocracy, al ways suspicious and stupid, denounces the most innocent facts as criminal and dangerous to the public tranquillity. A few days ago, on information given by a M. Mezieres, the King's Attorney at St. Pierre ordered a search in the house of M. Sainte Rose Berne, a man of co lour. He was 'vehemently suspected of having some pamphlets in his house subversive of the colonial system. Nothing was found except a miensir in de fence of the people of colour published by M. Isam - bert, and, inconceivable as it may seem, this pam phlet was seized. If the proceedings have not beers continued, we owe it to the justice of the Attorney- General, M. Dimbert de Bourdillon, who did see in this fact a moral and permanent conspiracy. The people of colour, confiding in the promises of M. Hyde de Neuville, and the justice of their cause, wait calmly for the changes which will secure their future lot, and relieve them from the disabili- ties under which they now suffer.

RUSSIAN BULLETIN. DESPATCH FROM ADJUTANT-GENERAL COUNT DIE- BITSCH TO HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR. On the 20th of June (July 2), I had the good fortune to be enabled to announce to your Imperial Majesty the surrender of the fortress of Silistria. I have now received from Lieutenant-Gen. Krassovski the capitulation, and a detailed report of the opera tions which led to that event. On the ISth (30th) June, at half-past two in t 1.3 morning, a mine was sprung which had been opened near the curtain of the flank works, and the explosion of which produced a breach within the body of the fortress. On the following morning two more mines were prepared, which were carried under the same curtain and under the right flank of the bastion on the right of the polygon, against which the attack was directed. Nine saps, which joined under the head of the glacis, served for the covered way to a solid crown work, and a battery of thirteen cannot.] completed the breaches which had been opened by the mines. Finally, two mines formed in the very ditch of the fortress, and the experience which the enemy had had of the unwearied zeal and firmness of the be siegers, shook the obstinacy of the Paellas who com manded in Silistria, and at ten in the morning they sent a flag of truce to Lieut.-Gen. Krassovski. While Majors-General Prince Gortschakov and Berg were explaining to the Turkish Commissioners the conditions tinder which a capitulation could alone be granted, our works in the breaches, effected by the mines, were vigorously prosecuted under the protection of a heavy fire of musketry and grape shot. When the Commissioners, who came with the flag of truce, saw that our work's were esta blished on part of the bastion situated to the left of the attacked polygon, and that the breaches were cleared, they abandoned their extravagant demands, and urged, with the greatest impatience, that the capitulation should be concluded without loss of time, on the basis which, before my operations against the Grand Vizier, I had prescribed. Lieut.- General KrassovGki granted only some unimportant articles, in addition to that basis, and to them I have given my full consent. So great was the im patience of the Commissioners to complete the capitubtion, that, notwithstanding the darkness of the night, tiiay compelled the Pacha, Sert-Mahmoud, an old man of seventy, to leave the fortress at ten o'clock and repair to our camp to surrender himself as a prisoner of war, and as hostage for the fulfil ment of tha stipulated conditions. On the 19tb of June (.July 1), at seven in the evening, five battalions, with eight pieces of light artillery, under the command of Major-General Frolov, marched in parade order with flying colours through two breaches into the fortress, and took possession of the bastions, the gates, and the whole town. At the moment when Lieutenant-General Kras sovski sent off his report, dated June 23 (July 5), the number of the prisoners transferred to us here was 7,000. About 1,000 still remained in the town with the Paella, for the purpose of delivering up va rious descriptions of government property, and for other reasons. There are 1,000 wounded, and as far as can be ascertained, the loss of the enemy in killed during the whole siege exceeds 5,000 men. There have been delivered up to us 238 cannon for land service, and 31 belonging to the flotilla. Thus have our troops succeeded, notwithstanding the ob- Ebr LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1829. The French Papers present no news for re marks They have been for the last month unusually barren of intelligence, which can only be accounted for by the superior facility afforded for the communication of interesting news through Germany and Holland. The official particulars of the surrender of Silistria, in a bulletin from General DIEBITSCH, will be found in another column. We have a file of Antigua Papers of as late a date as June 26. The Houses of Legislature had met, and the House of Assembly had re solved itself into a Committee for Consolidating the Slave Laws. Mr. PRIEST, the proprietor of the Free Press, h a d b een re l ease d f r om prison, where lie bad been committed for contempt of the Court of Chancery, after an incarceration of forty-six days. Letters from Leghorn to the 19th ult. state that the crops were generally good throughout Tuscany and Romania. The depot of wheat consisted of 175,676 sacks. Letters from Barcelona to the 22d ult. an nounce that 250 prisoners, confined in the cita del, had been embarked on the 20th in a brig, for Ceuta, where they had been banished. They were chiefly belonging to families residing in Barcelona. It was expected that new arrests would take place. A very curious charge has just been made by the Dublin Evening Post—the particulars of which will be found in our columns of to-day— reflecting on a certain venerable Ex-Chancellor. It appears that a letter, purporting to be from the pen of the noble individual in question, has been addressed to an influential Orangeman in Ireland, with the avowed intention of stirring up his party to a renewal of the late frightful scenes in the North. The Dublin Mail, with an ef frontery peculiarly characteristic, endeavours to account for, or rather to deny, the interference of this hoary Ultra ; but its statements are alto gether so vague and inconclusive, th a t i nstea d o f clearing up, the) only leave the case in greater mystery than before. In this state of distrust and suspense, when it would be unfair to offer a decided opinion ; we can only hop e th at t h e mien able Ex-Chancellor will come promptly forward, and deny any interference with an affair which is in the highest degree disgraceful and unconstitu tutional. This denial is due no less to his cha racter as a man, than to his judgment as a states man. It is what even his own party will expect from him ; for however much in secret they may applaud their leader's interference—however much they may chuckle at his earnestness in their cause —however much they may expect from his wily and experienced energies—they will scarcely venture to applaud in public, conduct that must if proved inevitably degrade him in the eyes of the nation, and, by so doing, diminish his influence as the leader of their faction. To the Ultras, then, not less than to the Liberals, Lord ELDON owes an explanation of this very mysterious transaction. Should he decline it, and take refuge instead in what he may please to imagine is a justifiable and indignant silence, he will at once open the eyes of his countrymen, and put the last finishing stroke to a public character, which the Catholic Question has already " damned to everlasting fame."

We have had a very barren morning for intelligence, not even a single Foreign Mail has arrived, and only two arrivals of ship letters, and they are of little con sequence. Consols, which left off yesterday at 884 e for the account, opened at the same price, arid afterwards were done at BSi; at present they are 884 with a few minor bargains doing,. We are informed that a good deal of duty has been paid on sugars at the Custom-house, and on corn there has been already paid, this quarter, 150,000/. It is expected that Government are going to do something to relieve the West India merchants, according to their late application. The following has been sent by the Count Villa neuve, Commandant of Havannah, to the Custom house in that island : " The coffers of the Treasury being in urgent need to collect all monies, owing to the pressing orders recently received from his Majesty, I there fore shall attend to the fulfilment of its execution, which shall take place in the most regular form ; and I am resolved that one of its measures shall be the gathering of the duties specified by the Tariffs of this island, applicable to merchandizes of the Pe ninsula, coming under foreign flags; the duty is 21 per cent."

Consols have been done during the morning at 88-g- and 88i, with some business doing, but not to a considerable amount; at present Consols continue firm at 88i buyers. We can credibly state that:the present Quarter's Revenue is going on very favourable, and that already there is a surplus of 40,0001., although two thirds of the Quarter is yet to come. A vessel has arrived from Oporto, but her letters are not so late as the last accounts. By the above vessel has ar rived 10 or 12 prohibited Portuguese, who have made their escape.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that the physi cians had visited the supposed lunatic, and made their report upon the condition of his mind. The certificate he had read, and from the terms of it he felt disposed not to oppose the issuing of this com mission. All he had to ask for was, that by the order of the Court his client might, on behalf of the supposed lunatic and his mother, be at liberty to at tend the execution of the commission. Mr. HORDE opposed any such special order on be half of this lady. The LORD CHANCELLOR said notice of the COM mission would be served upon all parties, and after that they would be at liberty to attend. This did not satisfy the Solicitor-General, who continued to press for the special order. __. The LORD CIIANCELI.OR knew nothing judicially about this lady. He could not say why it was that the father and mother did not row together in this proceeding, the one petitioning for, and the other against the commission, but he was exceedingly anxious. to avoid any thing calculated to create great and unnecessary expence. Mr. HORNE said, the lady bad been divorced from her husband. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL considered there was sufficient upon the affidavits to enable him to enter into the matter, so as to show from the conduct of the parties, that he ought to have an express order that the lady should be at liberty to attend. *The supposed lunatic was not in the possession of his clients. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that there were precedents in these sorts of proceedings of most enormous expence having been incurred, and it was his determination as much as possible to prevent re petition of such mischief. If the Solicitor-General insisted on having a special order, he would have to go into the affidavits to make out a case for it, and that would have to be done on Wednesday next. IN THE MATTER OF WORSLEY, A LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not confirm the Master's report, appointing Mrs. Frances Worsley one of the committee of the person of the lunatic, and Admiral Worsley another, upon condition that he was only to have an opportunity of seeing the lunatic every third day, and in the presence of Miss Worsley, and without interfering with the manner in which he was treated. This was, in point of fact, to make Miss Worsley the sole committee.— From the affidavits it was clear that the treatment of the lunatic was not what it ought to have been, considering his station and fortune, particularly as regarded due attention to his cleanliness. Whether Miss Worsley or Luckey was to blame for this it might not be very necessary to inquire into. His Lordship thought he should best consult the interests of the lunatic, and do most towards re moving the unhappy differences that had so long existed among the members of this most respectable family, by appointing Mr. Thomas Worsley to act with Miss Worsley, as the committee, and which order he should make. As to the appointment of physicians and other necessary attendants, he should leave that with the committee, having no doubt that they would co-operate, and act courteously to gether, and in the most beneficial manner to the lunatic and the comfort of the family. N THE MATTER OF •BIGGS, A BANKRUPT-COM-. MITTAL. Mr. ROSE stated, that he appeared for the bank rupt, who had been committed by the Fourteenth List of Commissioners for not satisfactorily answer ing their questions, and who now appeared in Court upon a writ of habeas corpus, to pray for his dis charge. • The LORD CHANCELLOR had read the examina- tion, and, according to his judgment, the Commis sioners had acted just as lie would have done had he been in their situations, in committing the bank rupt, because he considered the answers of the bankrupt most unsatisfactory. Mr. ROSE then submitted, that if the Court re manded the prisoner, it would point out some course by which he might immediately have another op portunity of giving further explanation, because he could not be called up before the 14th list again until the Ist November, that list having closed its sittings for the season. . _ The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should remand the prisoner, but order that he should be called up before another list of Commissioners. IMPORTANT TO COMMISSIONERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in disposing of this matter, said he felt bound to take this opportunity of announcing that he found, by an order of Lord El don's, that Commissioners in Bankruptcies were not at liberty to have more than three meetings in an hour. He had, however, found that that order had been so neglected as to make it necessary for him to direct a letter to be sent to all the Commissioners, requesting a due observance of that order. So far had it been disregarded that on the 31st of July last, when business was the most pressing, he had found there had been no less than nine meetings by one list in an hour; seven by another, seven by another, six by another, eight by another, and so on. It was right that both the public and the Commissioners should know that when such irregularity of conduct prevailed the Court would take notice of it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VicE-CmiscELLoß was engaged the whole morning in hearing a arguments on a ba n k ru pt p e ti t i on of not the least public interest, relating entirely to a matter of account. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Charles Cartwright, baker, of Burley Hill, was opposed by Mr. COOK, on behalf of Messrs. Currie and son, millers, near Norwich, who had supplied him with flour to the amount of 2001. The ground of opposition was, that the insolvent had refused to give up his lease, value 3001., for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. BARRY, for the insolvent, proved, by cross examination, that he had paid several hundred pounds to the opposing creditors, for deliveries of flour after this debt was contracted, and also that one of the firm had refused to take the lease as a security. John Cox, baker, of Charlotte -street, Blackfriars road, proved having advanced 811. on the lease, for which he received no interest, but merely ad vanced it as a friend, to prevent the insolvent being turned out of his house, as he had a family of eight children. The lease had twenty-one years to run, and the witness had now no inclination to give it up on receiving his 811. It was all he had as se curity for the money, which he swore solemnly was his own (and not the insolvent's) when he lent it. The COURT ordered the insolvent to be dis charged forthwith. Mr. READER, the barrister, has retired from the Midland Circuit, after a very extensive practice for wady forty years. Baron M'CLELLAND is at present so seri ously ill as to be unable to go any farther on Circuit. Hi s Lordship presided in Dundalk on Thursday, during some Nisi Fritts trials ; at the conclusion of which he pro ceeded to his residence at Ravensdale, where he has ever since remained. The health of his Lordship has been rapidly declining for some time past. We have not heard who is to succeed him on the North East Circuit.—Ntlvry Telegraph. T HE HARVEST.—The harvest has com menced in this neighbourhood, in a partial degree; and, no twithstanding the late prevalence of heavy rain, the crops generally present an appearance of the greatest pro mise. The wheat cwp is remarkably abundant ; and, although it is, in some instances, partially lodged, no con siderable damage is anticipated.—,Doncaster Gazette, 1 THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). 1 COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

About five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon , four men went into the spirit cellar of a respect' able publican in Briggate-street, Glasgow, and, after being shewn into a room, one of then called for half-a-mutchkin of good whiskey, which the landlady supplied. In a short time two of the men went out, making some trifling excuse/ and stating that they would be back in a moment' A third then attempted the same trick, b u t the landlady, getting suspicious with regard to th e ' settlement of the reckoning, got betwixt the fel' low and the door, demanding payment. Whil e endeavouring to procure the money, she oh. served the man had something under his coati and on inquiring what it was, he said it was ne" thing belonging to her. At this period a bnr ther-in-law of the landlady's entered the shop , and succeeded in forcing the fellow into th i e room he had just left, where they were astonisho to find one of the number lying on the floor in !. state of insensibility, stripped o f ever y ar ti c le o ' , dress, save his shirt. The prisoner, on beiog questioned as to what had become of the mans clothes, replied, " Oh, his brother, Broggan, hag them." The coat, trowsers, vest, &c., wer e afterwards found concealed a bout th e pers on o f . the miscreant whom they had caug ht, and wh o was conveyed to the police office, along with the . individual who had been robbed. When th e prisoner was brought before the Sitting Magis". trate, on Wednesday, he stated that his name was Barnard Docherty, that he was born in fre land, but had resided in this country for a won' ber of years; and on being questioned with re'. gard to Broggaa, the prisoner said he (Brug' gam) was a shoe -maker, but he could not asY' whether he had ever been in Edinburgh. The first witness examined was Andrew Naismit"' tailor, the person who had suffered by the nous conduct of these dangerous ruffians. Il e stated that the panel and the two fellows 20- : luded t o a b ove , h a d ma d e up acqua i ntance wit' , ', him in the street, and had invited him into th e y public-hous e ; t h at h e h a d never seen an y 0 1 . them before, and from the small quantity ° A liquor he had partaken o f i n t h e i r company , ar the stupifying effects immediately pr o d uce d, P" had no doubt whatever that some deleterious ditlg had been mixed with the whiskey he had drank, as he had been very ill during the night. There vval nothing poisonous found on the p r is o n er , but 1 was not likely there should, as in all probabilitl the two persons who took care to make off Icel. the most knowing and the most guilty, and tha t they had (as the narcotic used is technically called) " the doctor" in their pock e t. The de'. linquent was, in the mean time, sen t ence d to 6 `' . days' confinement in Bridew e ll f or th e Ot t This transaction assumes a very ser i ous asPec. indeed, if the Broggan mentioned above, as 15 alleged, be in verity the same individual who ol s f lately so mixed up w ith th e d e t esta bl e namea,,, ° Burke and Hare in th e i r mons t rous cr i mes . " t e i hope this affair will be sifted to the bottom, an that Broggan will be sharply looked aft er ' although he has sscaped for the presente'' Scotsman.

Is there such a thing as equal justice ? and, if there be, can the Orange' men be permitted to trample upon the laws and beard tke Government, and the Catholics be expected to be obedient f.
