DUTCH AND HAMBURGH MAILS. VIENNA, MAT 3.—lt is affirmed, that his Majesty the Em peror, on the repeated representations of the Minister of Fi nance, has determined on a still further and considerahlerdue tion of the army, by which the hopes of peace are of course con firmed. His Majesty is said likewise to have ordered, that can didates for public Mikes must serve the first six years without salary, and prove that they are able to support themselves for that time. BAGDAD, JAN. 9.—The Ottoman troops of this city have been again defeated by the Persians, who become stronger in the province of 'Citalis and the environs of lllanduli. The fate of Condestan is very insecure, and the dissatisfaction of the Re sident at Bassora gives reason to Tear a fresh breach. English squadrons now regularly cruise in the Persian Gulf, to protect the trade with India, and to secure the chief points in that Gulf, such as the island of Djem or Kischme. English ships likewise cruise on the Arabian Chatail, which is formed by the Tigris and the Euphrates. The 'latest accounts from Bassora say, that recent reports from Bombay bring the me lancholy news that extraordinary inundations in India have cansed universal devastation; in Surat and the 'neighbourhood 2000 houses are destroyed, the town of Chetta, near Calcutta, is entirely destroyed, and almost all the Indigo manufactories in that district are ruined. I It E 3. A N D. The favourable intelligence from the South, or 'rather the absence of afflicting details, which led tutu conclude in our last publication that the outragesin that quarter were lessening, is by no means borne out by 'the last Provincial Journals. Cruelties of so malignant a description are still com mitted there, that it defies conjecture to account"for their per petration in any other way. than may arise from a naturally brutal disposition, notwithstanding the eulogiums passed upon the Irish character at the late meeting in Townsend-street. Can we avoid considering that some sort of sympathy must exist between the panegyrists and the panegyrised on this occasion ? As for our parts, we cannot go over the enumeration of these hideous excesses ; and must therefore refer our Readers for the tparticulars to a subsequent column.—(Dublin Correspondent, .1110 y 17.) CONSECRATION or D. ARRUTIINOT.-011 Sunday last the Consecration of Doctor Arbuthnot, Lord Bishop of Kills- "loe, took place at Tuam, on which solemn •occasion the Arch bislip of Tuam, 'assisted by the Bishops of Kilmore and 'Elphin, read thittruly awful service in a manner so impressive, as to affect, even . to tears, every individual in the crowded con gregation. The Very Rev. Warden Daly preached the Con secration Sermon.—(idem.) Another Theatrical Riot occurred last night, of rather an alarming kind. A variety of calls of a seditious and treason. able kind having been made from the gallery, some person • called three cheers for Sheriff"fhorpe when the riot commenced, ling in the pit, and afterwards extended itself to the Nixes. The confusion and riot became general throughout the house, but owing to the activity of the peace.officers, nothing serious occurred. IVe are unwilling to enter farther into the subject 'until all the facts are fully elucidated.--( Dublin Antidote, May 17.) (Prom the Cork Constitution of Friday.) On the night of Saturday last a large dairy -house on a farm called Mallow, belonging to Herbert Gillman, Esq., of Wood. brook, situate within two miles of the village of Castletown, in the parish of Keneigh, and about five from the town of Dun- manway, containing a quantity of milk, cream, dairy utensils, and other articles, was maliciously burned, and every thing it contained entirely consinned ; seven mulch cows were at the same time stabbed with bayonets, or similar instruments ; two had their tails cut off, and one received a severe wound on the leg. apparently with a sword or scythe. On Saturday night last the house of Wm. Linehan, within a mile of Buttevant,. was entered by a large party of he insur gents, who compelled the unfortunate man to let them have all the money in his possession ; it amounted, we are informed, to nearly ten pounds. On Monday night the house of Richard Hatch, of Pregogue, near BUttevant, was attacked, and 21. lOs. extorted from him. On Thursday night last the following notice was posted on a gate at the back entrance to the demesne of Francis Woodley, Esq., of Leadcs, in the palish of Ahabologue:— " Humanity shudders at the thoughts of the severities in tended a few individuals in Aughabnlough ; this uncharitable system of Land Canting is practised there without the least idea of that Divine preceipt, to love thy neighbour as thyself, but the Almighty said I hope that Mr. NVoodley will have the goodness of returning the Mattel of the poor termants he has taking, these to, years constitution if this caution is not imme diately complied with. Vesuvius or Etna never sent forth such crackling flames as some parts of Aughabolouge will shortly emit solid mass of fire. Oneen has luscombustibleat .all times." . Mr. Woodley is a most indulgent landlord, having forgiven the persons mentioned in Captain .1 - tock's Notice a large arrear , of rent. _ _ An outrage of rather a serious nature has taken place in the neighbourhood of 111acroom, hitherto peaceable enough. On Thursday last, in the noon day, whilst the inhabitants were at mass, a good farm-house on the lands of Currabinny, in the pariah of Kilnaniartia, near Macroom, was consumed, and a large quantity of potatoes, milk vessels, and some other 'articles were also consumed. A meeting of the Petty Sessions in Ma croom has investigated this business, and no doubt is enter tained but that the burning was malicious. Committed to the Convict Depot on the 13th inst., 35 male and 3 female convicts,, tried at . the last Spring and Summer .Assizes in, Tralee„ county of Kerry. Also two men who were convicted under the Insurmtion Act in that County.

The last General Court for this season, of the Highland Society of London, was held, pursuant to notice, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, on Saturday the 17th, for the dispatch of business. Lord SAL T 0 U N and ABERNETHY, the Society's President for this year, took the Chair at half past . six o'clock. The Meeting was most respectably attended, and most of the Gen tlemen present appeared in the Highland costume. Among them we observed, the Right Hon. Lord Strathaven, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart., the Hon. Mr. Lake, Gen- Turner, Gen. Mg.geod, of the Madras service ; Col. Stewart of Garth, Mr. Simon M‘Gillivray,. Messrs. Alexander and John M'Donald, Mr. Forbes, the younger of Edinglassie ; Mr. Sande man, Mr. Downie of Appin, Mr. Grant Allan, M r . L ong l an d s , Mr. Duncan of Damside, &c. • After dinner, the Depute-Secretary read his report .of the proceedings of the last Committee of Management. The Court then voted the usual grant of '2O/. for the annual competition of Performers on the Great Highland Bag-pipes at Edinburgh, and of Gl. to the six best dressed Highlanders at that Compe tition. The Court also approved of the resolution of the Corn. mittee, that an account of the proceedings of the Society, down to the present time, be drawn up forthwith for publication, and that the execution of the said work be committed to the care of Sir John Sinclair. _ _ The COurt then proceeded to the election of Members, when (a ballot being dispensed with) the following Gentlemen were unanimously,•and with loud cheering, declared Members of the Corporation, viz.: the Right Hon. Robert Peel, Secretary of State l _proposed by Sir John Sinclair, an d secon d e d b y M r. S. M‘Gillivray-; the Right lion. Lord Gmntley, proposed by Si r John Sinclair, and seconded by . Mr. Grant Allan ; and Mr. John Andrew WiCenzie, of \Valthamstow, proposed by Col. Stewart of Garth. The health of the Sovereign, Chief of the Institution, was drank with loud apatise; and with all th e h onours ; t h en fol lowed, the Duke of Fork and the Royal Family ; and the rest of the standing toasts of the Society, in order, when the sentiment " cliu le cruadal," (hard-earned fame) came in turn. Lord STIIATHAVEN, M.P. rose. His Lordship observed, that he could not have a better opportunity than that which the sentiment did le cruadal afforded him of proposing the health of the Noble Chairman ; and he was quite certain that the mere mention of Thigoniont was sufficient to justify his coupling that sentiment with the name of his Noble Friend.—(Loud applause; three times three.) The CITAIRMAN bilefly returned thanks. General TunxElt, in rising to propose the health o f a N o bl e Lord present, declared, th at in doing so he had various reasons for feeling the highest gratification. He was gratified to see among their numbers a young Nobleman of high endowm ents , and of an ancient a nd most honourable family,—he meant the Noble Member for East Grinstead, Lord Strathaven, (applause), who brought along with him what that Meeting would prize even more than the cir cumstances o f hi g h bi rth and accomplish ment—namely, the sentiments and the soul of • a true and a hearty Highlander.—(Sliouts of applause.)—Nothin g could testify this better than the vigour and the success with which his Lordship has applied himself to the study of the Gaelic language, in which he (General T.) had reason to know that his Lordship could peruse the poems of the immortal Ossian with the utmost ease. The gallant General considered that for this alone the Society is under obligations to the Noble Lord; because, by the weight of his own example, be has given an incitement to similar zeal to such of his countrymen as require it—a zeal which went so directly to forward one of the purposes for which the Society was instituted, namely, the preserving the language of the anc i ent C a l e d on i ans .—(L ou d app l ause, and three times three.) Lord STII4THAVEIf felt obliged to the gallant Gentleman for the manner in which lie had proposed his health, and to the Meeting for having received it with such cordiality. Th e gallant General did him but justice in ascribing to him a ze a l and fondness for the G ae li c l ang uage. He did indeed feel in terested in it it was the language of immortal Fingal and of Ossian, whose poems of unequalled , :eauty it was the joy of his soul that he could peruse in the original tongue.—(Applause.) —Professing himself an admirer, then, of the Gaelic, to need not add, that he admired the purposes of that Institution—that he felt most happy in having become connected with it, and most desirous to attend its public Meetings.—(Loud applause.) The PRESIDRwr proposed the health of a gallant friend of his present, for whom heaves certain that every individual at the meeting had the highest esteem. For his own part he felt esteem and gratitude towards the gallant Gentleman in no or» dinary measure; the former he felt from a long acquaintance with him, and the latter *Om his late well-known work on " The Highland Regiments," which no true Highlander can ever read without feeling his- Obligations to the author. The meeting needed, not to be informed that he meant Colonel Stewart, of Garth.---(Loud applause ; three times three.) Colonel STEWART briefly expressed himself obliged for the honour that had been just done him by the Noble Chairman and the meeting. Colonel STE wART rose to propose the health of a Right Hon. Gentleman on the President's left hand. He said, that if sin cere wishes for the welfare of the Highlands of Scotland, and of Scotland at large—if strenuous and steady exertions for the good of that country could give to any man a claim on the gratitude of that Society, anti of all Scotsmen, the Gen tleman he alluded to possessed those claims in a most eminent degree. He might well say that the benefit of his native country . was the subject of his thoughts morn ing. noon, and night. He meant Si r J o h n Sinclair.— With that most respectable name were associated many excel. lent publications and many useful projects, which would come readily into the recollection of the Society, and especially the " Statistical Account of Scotland," a work Which, whether he considered the variety and . value of its information, or the mi nuteneas and explicitness of its details, had but few that could cope with it in political usefulness in any country in the world. The Right lion. Gentleman by whose happy device that great work was projected, did contribute to render Scotland the best described country on the face of the globe. Ile felt the greatest pleasure, therefore, in Propoging the health of Sir John Sinclair. —(Loud applause, and three times three:) Sir Joust StarcLitin briefly returned his thanks to the Meet ing. The welfare of Scotland was certainly a favourite subject of his reflections, and it was pleasing to his mind when he could in any way p rom ot e an object so dear to him. Touching the account of the Society's proceedings which had'been committed to his care, he observed that he had already made the necessary extracts from the records, and that h e th ere i n found enough of matter to rend er t h e publication alluded to a work of no com mon interest, and such as would, he thought, be beneficial to the Institution.,-(Applause.) The meeting was altogether one,of the most pleasant descrip tion. Mr. Melrose, one of the gentlemen connected with the Drury-lane Fund, who held a meeting in an adjacent room, kindly offered his services to sing a song, which were gladly accepted, and " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled" was sung by him with great spirit and effect. About midnight the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Noble Chairman, who then withdrew, and the meeting imme diately broke up. • Mr. Clarke, the. Society's piper, (well known for his intre pidity at Vimiers), and Mr. (low, the Society's violist, with hi,s band, suited their strains to the toasts and sentiments with much felicity. . Mr. MATuEws.—This celebrated hero• of the sock, took leave of a numerous and brilliant audience on Sit. turday evening. He appeared in the Farce of The Review,. Polly Packet, and Moarieur Tonsoii, On vo occasion has he displayed a greater variety of characters, or given more gene ral satisfaction than that which Was experienced on this even. ing. He appeared to excel his utmost abilities to please; and he elicited from his auditors that applause which his eminent talents so justly merited. His three songs were all so loudly encored, that he was under the necessity of repeating them. The " Nightingale Club" caused much merriment, and will long be remembered by those who beard him. The great va riety of characters which he personated were well sustained, especially that of Morblieu, where he appears at his ease. Few of the actors who preceded him have hiLd a knowledge of the French language, Mr. M a thews understands and • speaks French fluently, hence his power to pourtray so successfully French characters. At the conclusion of the farce, Mr. Mathews came forward in a neat and pertinent address , _ and thanked the audience f or the very flattering reception he re ceived since his arrival in this city. He dwelt with peculiar delight on the great encouragement experienced in those pieces which he rep resented by himself, and appeared evidently much embarrassed when about bidding his audience Adieu ! . He observed, that notwithstanding the Atlantic would very soon divide us, yet he would remember with fond delight the noble hospitality, generosity and kindness so often bestowed upon him—and above all, the unbounded approbation he so fre quently received from the crowded and brilliant audience' which repeatedly graced the Theatre, would he cherished with gratitude to the remotest period of his existence. Here his feelings almost overcame him. Mr. Mathews said, Ladies and Gentlemen, you will no doubt meet with many possessing more abilities than myself, but I do most sincerely assure you, none can feel more gratitude and affection—l am unable to proceed ; permit me to bid you all an affl?ctionate farewell. He retired amidst the acclamations of the audience.—(Americau Paper.) We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day and the Pilote of Sunday morning.

They well know that great anxiety, and even alarm, continues to exist respecting the state of affairs in Catalonia; and if it had been in their power to announce any thing that could in the least tend to allay the public agitation, we may be assured that they would have been eager to give publicity to favourable news. On the contrary, they seem, by the statement in the Journal des Debate, to be preparing the public mind for disastrous events, or at least for the disappointment of the expectations that had been raised, as to the facility with which MINA'S army was either to be detroyed, or driven before that of Marshal AIONCEY into the interior of Spain.-- The intelligence of the Journal des Debals is of the 11th of May, from the head quarters at Gerona. But. the dispatch from Marshal MONCEY, of that date, was received in Paris on Thursday morning. We mentioned its arrival in THE SUN of last Saturday, and stated that it was understood to announce that the French army had sustained a severe check, and that MlNA,instead of marching in the direction of Campredon, had turn ed right upon Ripoll, had driven before him Ro- MAGOZA and a French division, and had proceeded to Berga. The French Papers have taken no notice of this dispatch, until Saturday, and even then the Journal des Debuts has only said, that it contains nothing new,—and that MoNCEY'S corps was about to cover Barcelona, and to put itself in line on the Ebro ! Our account of the French Marshal's Dispatch is, however, confirmed by the letter of the Baron D'EttoLes, which states that the enemy (MINA) had retreated on Berga! There can be little doubt, therefore, that MINA. has actually destroyed the corps of ROMAGOZA. Even the adherents of the Faith cannot believe that under these circumstances Marshal MoNcEY is about to extend him self on the line of the Ebro ! It would be bad enough to leave a hostile population and the unsubdued fortress of Figueiras in his rear ;—but to leave the active and unrelenting MINA behind him also, with the choice of either taking a trip into France, or amusing himself by destroying the convoys of the enemies of his country, is entirely out of the question. o long as MINA is undispowd of, it is impossible for the French to advance. [From the Journal des Debats.] PARIS, MAY 16. " NEWS FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN. " We have intelligence from Gerona, dated the 11th of May. There was nothing new. The Baron d'Eroles, possessing the same knowledge of the mountains, and having soldiers of the same description as Mina, was pursuing the latter. The other corps were beginning their movements, in order to cover Barcelona, and to put them selves in line on the Ehro. [From the Journal dc Paris] 44 It is reported that the bac) discipline of the soldiers of General Quesada ,having compelled him to make an example of : two of them, who were shot, a great part of the others quitted him, and he was in consequence obliged to raise the blockade of Santona. ( From the Comentunonnet. ) " PARIS, MAY 16.—This morning the King transacted business with the Marquis of Lauri tons Minister of the household. " The Monileur, in its non-official part, con tains the following letter : Copy, of the letter of Baron d'Eroles to Marshal 31ncey, written from San Pedro de Torello, on the 10th Mlty. "Mr Loan —According to the notice I had the nour of writing your Excellency, I put my troops-in movement on Vidra yesterday, when I was informed on my march that the enemy had retreated on Berga. Judging that the situation of Vidra would separate me too far from his lines, I marched to San Pedro de Torello, for the purpose of moving to-day on Santa Tuirto de Besora, and perhaps of pushing as far as Ripoll on my right. On one or other of these two pointi I shall await the determinations of Count Curial and General Donnadicu. I have informed them of my opinion, whichls to follow up Mina till he be totally destroyed ; and I can assure your Excellency that if we pursue him for 8 days with spirit he will be destroyed for want of provisions and ammunition. " Receive the homage, &c. "Lieut.-Gen. of the Armies of his Catholic Majesty. (Signed) " Baron d'EROLES." [From the Pilote of Sunday.] A LrAn, MAY 4.—The fort of Figueiras holds out vigour ously, and sends us plenty of balls and shells ; but that does not prevent us hemming it in very closely : the 9th divis'on occupies the town; the occupation took place on the 25th, by the sth regiment of the line, commanded by General Marir gone. The Lieutenant-General supported the movement at the head of a part of the brigade Rastignac. " Two days ago, on the 2d, the garrison of the fort took arms, and covered the ramparts within and without the place 1000 or 1,200 men approached within 50 paces of the town, and began to fire their muskets, our troops were on the walls and ready to act ; but General Maringone having thought pro per to let the enemy approach within musket shot, forbid the Constitutionalits to be fired on till they were within ten paces. They did not advance far, however, but contented themselves with discharging all their artillery at the town. " The Lieutenant-General was well pleased with the conduct of his troops on this occasion, and generally since they occupy Figueiras. The garrison of Figueiras is composed of the sth regiment of the line, of the third company of Sappers, and a part of the troops of the Spanish General Coll, better known by the name of Mosen Anton." [Extract ofa Private Letter from Paris, Saturday Night.] " It is asserted here, that the moment our Army arrives at Madrid they will asqemble the ancient Cortes, conformably to the Decree of FERDINAND. of March IS2O, anterior to the re. volution of the same month. We are entirely destitute of news from the Army, except that which the Monitear and Journal des 'Mats choose to give us.' It is certain that the Corps under the Duke d'Arwouttmn.is marching on Madrid; and there is not the least. obstacle to prevent it from entering that capital.— But affairs do not go on so well in Catalonia as could be wished for ; and it is certain that MINA. has out-generalled his antagonists. Even at Ge rona, by the last accounts, Marshal MoNcry did not know what direction MINA had taken.— Other informa(ion states that he was marahing in advance of Mc) Ltrou, to form a junction with BALLASTEROS. To be rightly informed of MtNA's movements, we must wait for the Spanish, accounts." —mum— . . The following are extracts from Frankfort Papers, received at a late hour this morning VIENNA, MAT o.—The latest reports from Constantino- 3 ' do not bring any thing very remarkable. A short time be fore the departure of the courier, the Porte had received infer mation of armaments of the Pacha of Scutari. The preceding. day several frigates and corvettes had been launched. The Sultan personally showed the greatest activity, and often passed several hours with the Captain Pacha. On the 10th he unex pectedly appeared in the Council of Ministers, where he re.. mained four hours. This excited the more surprise, as he had lost the night before his youngest son, Prince Astred. He has now only one son, who is ten years of age. An account from Corfu, of the 11th of April, says : " When Sir Thomas Maitland arrived at Zante, where he stopped two days, he found an agent from Missolunghi, who was said to be sent on an important mission, by the principal chiefs of the insurgents. Sir Thomas Mait land appointed Captain Hamilton to confer with him.— The next day a report was opened that the English Go vernment had promised special protection to the insur gents. But it was soon found that these reports were without foundation, and we here knew positively, that these interviews did not lead to any result. Sir Thos. Mait land, before his departure, in concert with Sir Graham Moore, sent * Captain lamilton with the Cambrian frigate to the Archi pelago. The old reports were then revived, and political objects of all kinds were assigned to the mission. But it seems that Capt. Hamilton had orders to claim the restitution of an English merchantman which had been taken by Hydriot corsairs; and NOTICES OF MOTIONS. 1.
