Several mercantile expresses arrived this morn ing from Path, the letters received by which arc dated on Wed nesday evening, and they communicate an advance 'in the French Kentcs of nearly 2 per cent., their price .having on the morning of that day opened at 77, and closed at 78f. 50c. The Bonds of the King of NAPLES were also one per cent. dearer, Spanish were rated at 401 40. Consols for the settlement in February opened this morning at 74a g, and remained for some time extremely steady, when they suddenly fell to 741. This great depression was occasioned by tho failure of an eminent dealer to an immense extent. He Is deeply interested with the Contractors in the last two Spanish loans, by which lie has sustained the loss of a very large property. ills misfortunes are much regretted by every body, for he was uni versally respected as well for his gentlemanly conduct, as tbr the honourable character which marked all his public transactions. —The panic produced by this event was very considerable, but the Consols afterwards revived, and were done at 751 b occasioned by a rumour that his Mauve Y was resolVed to re. main neutral in the struggle for Spanish freedom. ►The only ground for this. report, however, probably was, a declaration, said to have been made last night to the Spanish Ambassador by Mr. CATINING....." that no answer could be given to a ques. tion (which had been put to him respecting the conduct of England), because his Majesty's Ministers had a feeling that circumstances might yet occur to prevent France front com mencing hostilities," &c. The Closing price of the Consols was 731, In foreign securities a good deal of business continues to be done on speettladon, but, no investments of capital arc made.

STEALING DEAD BODIES. ---Thi s Hoye] c a s e wag tried at Wells on Saturday. The defendants are five young gentlemen of Bristol. Mr. PALsica, as Counsel for the prosecution, clearly pointed out the enormity of the effence. Be hoped that the Court, that day, would show that the deposi. tory of the deed should not be violated with im punity. Mr. WILLIAMS, as Counsel for the de. fendants, allowed the illegality of the offence, and admitted the defendants to be guilty of all with which they were charged, excepting that of conspiracy, which he hoped would not be pressed. (This charge was readily waived by pl a i nt iff . ) Mr. W. th e n addre s s e d th e Jury in miti ga ti on o f punishment, From the novelty of the case the Court deferred judgment until next Session, with the intention of consulting the Judges of the Assize on the subject, and in the mean time the defendants were bound over in sureties of MM. each for their appearance to receive judgment,- Weymouth Gazette.)

EDITOR-1 shall now resume my remarks upon the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S Speech, deli vered in the House of Common,,,, on the 22d of April, on Sir JOHN NEWPORT'S Motion as to the State of Ireland ; which may, however, extend beyond the present letter : but In this I shall confine myself to the Right Hon. Gentleman's mistakes, or mis-statements, as to the vast pre ponderance of the Romanists of ,the lower class over the Protestants of the same rank ;'or rather, except in the north, as to the former being the sole occupiers of the land. The which, coming (rum itichfilgti authority as the first Law Officer of the Crawl*, may, if not controverted:have most mischievous and pernicious effecq in mis leading the Legislature, and the British Nation, so as to induce them to lend a favourable ear to claims, which they have been falsely assured are those of the whole population of Ireland. In that part of his speech in answer to Mr. Ellis, MI. Plunkett said—" Arguments he (Mr. Ellis) had adduced not relied on what lie denominated facts." " The truth was, that the insurrectionary movements in Ireland were con fined entirely to certain districts of the South. Limerick, Cork, Kerry, and a part of Tipperary, were itl'a state of disturbance. The entire pepu-• lotion, speaking of the lower classes of the people in those districts, were Roman Catholics. The disturbances were confined to the lower classes : they did not extend beyond them ; but over looking this tact, the Learned Gentleman has traced the disturbances to a religious feeling— those who were concerned in them being the dregs of the people, and all the lower classes professing the Catholic Faith." And, in the latter part of his speech, where he touched upon; the tithe sytem, he added, " in most parts of Ireland, ex cept the North, the occupiers of the land were Catholics." • The first assertion must have been made in the pure apiritotchavityssul ilbescality ; andthe second as a collateral proof ; for if the Right Honourable Gentleman could establish the position, that the lower classes of the people in the counties of Limrick, Cork, Kerry, and Tipperary were ex. elusively members of the Church of Rome, there was of course less of reproach to that Church, when her votaries perpetrated every species of crime, treason, murder, rape, robbery, and destruction of property, in the name of religion, than if there were Protestant Inhabitants of the same rank, suffering equally from the general distress, who yet preserved their loyality to their Sovereign, and were in peace and charity with their neighbours. But, if the lower classes of inhabitants in those disturbed districts were ex clusively " Catholics," will the Learned Gentle man inform us where they found so runny Pro. testant victims to their cruelty I From which it is self-evident that there must have been a few Protestants of the lowest rank : however, I shall endeavour to prove that, at least as to this County (Cork), the learned Gentleman has been led into a very gross mistake by Some of his Veracious friends. Cork is by much the most extensive County in Ireland ; so that, at one period, Government had it in contemplation to divide it into two Counties. Its greatest length, from East to West, is about 93 Irish miles ; its' greatest breadth is near 44 Irish miles, and it contains 1,030,581 acres. Sir William Petty, in his 44 Political Anatomy of Ireland," estimates it as nearly one-eighth of the whole Island. In this extensive county numerous colonies of Protestants had been plant ed by difirent members of the noble families of Boyle, Pereeval, and others. Now, I would ask the Itight Hon. Gentleman,and doubtless he can give a satisfactory answer, what has become of those numerous colonies, and their descendants ? Have they been extirpated by their Popish neighbours—or become converts to Popery —or emigrated—or, contrary to the law of nature, have they become extinct, while it was only given to their more holy neighhouris to" increase and multiply," and that in a miraculous degree ? My bookseller in the city of Cork has sent me a work, lately published, Letters by Sidney," which I recommend to the serious at tendon of the Learned Gentleman; as the vo huge contains unanswerable reasoning upon this and other subjects connected with Ireland, strengthened by irrefragable authoritiet, which the enlightened minds of modern philosophers may hold in contempt as obsolete. It, however, furnishes me with a dUCOMeIIt of recent date, which I consider of very grill importance in the present inquiry—an official retort, of the paupers and beggars of the county, as well its of the city of Cork, admitted into the Amis. of In. dustry for a period of three years, ending the Ist day of June, 18,112,11 istinilulatiell the Romish putters and beggars from the Pmestanti from which ii appears that the fort ner are to theiatter in no greateriatio timlfour 40 0110 thOlgh Cprk is one of those counties, in which it is admitted that itotnanists of the lower class very consideras bly preponderate over Protestants of .the same , rank. When we consider this House of Industry in the City 'of Cork as the general reftige of tint: beggars of the County, and probably df. the joining parts of neighbouring Counties-whisn'ive consider that the Magistrate's of the County !mitt' the power, of which they uniformly avail them selves, of sending paupers thither,---I thinkihia one document fully refutes the A ttorney-GetierePti Assertion--" that the entire population, speaking of the lower classes, were Roman Catholics." A tour through, this Province, in the naxt long vacation, might be conducive to the Right Hop, Gentleman's health, after the painful and labs, rious duty 9f prosecuting the Ribbonmen fqr, having conspired. to subvert the Governotentekte4 to extirpate all the Protestautt; atutafter the laboriouilluty of pleadtngibe Cause of .4lve "Ca tholics" in Parliament at the same tinte,if he shalt aet out with. amind open te convictin s • certainly receive much eseful information,:, of which he appears to me to stand greatly In ,need. Let him, in his .progress, visit .this town, one of those Colonies have already alluded to, which had been planted, by the first Earl of „Cork; *IIO in a letter to Mr, Secretary Cock, ,written- in April, 1692, gives this account of his progress 44 In my town, there is built e strong bridge over the river, two large sessionshouses„ two market houses, with two fair churches, which churches are so filled every:Sebbath day, with neat orderly religious people, as it would comfort any good heart to see the change, and behold such assern blies ;"—and it will doubtless comfort his Wart to see our " Churches filled every Sabbath-4y with neat, orderly, religious people," the des sceudants of that very Colony planted by„the Earl of Cork. Let him make his visit on the next anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, end he will be gratiOed to - see those " , neat, orderly, and religious people," go in procession to the Temple of God . , to offer their praise and thanks for his providential and 'merciful deliverance of this land.. from Popery, and arbitrary power ; even though our truly pious, orthodox, learned, and highly talented Bishop should order the doors of the Churches to be closed against, tNtn, as on the last anniversary, when they !era el lowed the use of the Methodist Chapel ;—in the •evening, they will . drink " the pious, glokioui, and immortal memory of King the Third ;" even though the Attorney-General, if he be then Attorney-General, should bring an ex-pfilcio ieformation in his pocket. ',Ube. Rig* Hon. Gentleman has not informed us what• proportion the' mireCnlous 'numbers lately returned to P.arliament as the population of Ireland, he will vouchsafe to allow to Pro.. testauts; but it must be small indeed, if we may judge from his liberality to the Rornitaists, when he stated,' "that the entire., portiae !aeon of Limerick, Cot k, 'Kerry, and Tipparary, speeking of the lower classes 'were. .ItOntan Catholics ;* and that "in most parts 44...frelas t d, , except the north , the occupiers of the' land'were Catholics." I shall , however, in oppOsition to his hypothesis, cite two other authorities ; one of which has never been questioned ; and the - other ought to have some weight with Papists, end th e advocates of Pop er y. The first, Sir 'Wm. - Petty, in Ilia " Political Anatomy," mentions the . Pro testants to be to the Romanisls in the •proportion of three to eight in the year 1672, that is, more than one-third of the whole population of the island ; though his descendent, the Marquis of Lansdown, in the true spirit of modern liberality, allowed only one-seventh to Protestants and Pro testant Dissenters. The second, br. Burke; Romish Titular Bishop of Ossory, in his work intitled " Ilibernire Domitticina," mentions art enumeration of the inhabitants - Of Ireland, made by the Romish Priests, in the year 1731; at which period the Itornattists were not 'quite tiro to one of the Protestants, the former amounting to 1,309,768, the latter to 700,453. Mr. Plunkett declared in pretty strong terms, that the persons concerned in the disturbances, " were the dregs of the people : they did not extend beyond them." Will the Right Ho nourable Gentlemen say, that Mr. Denis Egan, an, opulent , farmer, on whose person the ou nuscript book, containing the entire system of Whiteboyism, was found in April 1822, was of 44 the dregs of the people ?" Or that Arthur O'Leary, the leader of the party that itrooolateti Mr. Brierton, merely because he was a Protes tant, was of " the dregs of the people ?" The first named person he might not have heard of ; nor yet of the manuscript hook, as he was at that time attending his titit,y in Parliament but I perceive that he will find this document in the appendix to Sidney's Letters. As to O'Leary, he rented, a pretty extensive farrn from Mr. Iler bert ; and, though without any pretensions to rank as 'a Gentleman, vas cousin. german to a Runtish Magistrate of the County of Kerry. I cold adduce many similar instances but, as they are connected with other topics, and other persons, they would lead me into to great length ; and I shall pospoue them to another opportunity. Themistakes t or finis-statements, of Mr. PlOn kett, must have proceeded front ignorance, or from design : if from the first, - it chews at Once that he was a pseudo-Statesmen tad that, in St..' Stephen's chapel, he was more out of his proper place, the state of Ireland CanalOred, Onto Mr, out of his, there - 104 three other Mester' in Chancery, so that the en ds of Justice could not have,heen retarded, tehile they might, in the .time of rsitudlion, the absence of the first Law Officer 4tbe . crpoi• , .
