FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS (Fr ow Guligptani's Mesaenger.) PiRN, JAS. 22.—Yesterday being the anniver sary of the death of Louis XVI., the King and ' the Dauphiness attended a solemn dirge, performed' . n the occasion at the Chapel Royal of the T His Majesty was accompanied by the Great D a tili ries of State and the Great Officers of his Household, The set vice at the Abbey Church of St. Denis was at tended by the Dauphin, the Duke of Orleans, the Due de Chartres, the Foreign Ambassadors, and a grat number of the civil and military authorities. Ac None Dame and the other churches of the capital, solemn services were likewise' performed. The death of the Queen-Mother of Portugal, __ . Charlotte Joachime, at the Palace of Queluz, tcar Lisbon, has been announced by telegraph. Her Majesty, who was born on the 25th of April, 1775, was the daughter of Charles IV., King of Spain, widow of John VI., King of Portugal, sister of Fer dinand VII., and mother of Don Pedro and Don The Constitutionnel contains the following extract of a private letter from Toulon :—" The officerS of the Royal Navy have just been thunderstruck upon reading a circular of the Minister of the Marine, which seems to have proceeded from the office of the Secretary of the Inquisition, rather than from a Government department, the head of which is daily represented by the Journals as not participating in the disastrous ideas of his colleagues. I beg you therefore to give publicity to the circular, which is as follows : PARIS, DEC. 15, 1829.—1 n conformity to the provisions of the 134th; 148th, 28Ist, arid 301st Articles of the Ordinance of October 31st, 1827, there moq be addressed to the Minister, at fixed periods, by the Commanders of fleets, squadrons, or divisions, and by the Captains of vessels, confiden tial notes relative to the persons forming the stairs ors, board ship. " In future the following provisions will be ob served in the fulfilment of this important duty : Every Captain of a King's vessel must, upon his return from a cruise, or upon entering a port of France, lifter an absence of six months or more, ad dress to the Minister direct a report, in which he will express himself, without reserve, upon the cha racter, conduct, and talents of each person of the staff. " When the Captain shall be placed under the orders of a Commander of a fleet, squadron, or divi sion, he shall deliver to the Commander a copy of the said report, in order that the latter may add to it his own observations before he transmits it to the Alinister. " The Captain of a vessel sailing singly shall de liver upon his return to the ports of France, at the periods specified above, to the Maritime Prefect of the arroadissement in which he may be, a copy of his notes upon the persons of his staff, in order that the Prefect may do the same, relative to the report as is stated in the foregoing paragraph. " The notes to be given upon the officers and otheN cannot be too detailed ; they should extend to the conduet, the morality, and talents of each person ; point out the merit of each as a sailor; men tion his disposition for the sciences, and their appli cation; render an account of his ;teal, devotedness, and martini spirit; not neglect to g,iva information upon the temper, health, and strength of each officer; and, lastly, point out those who, by combining all the qualifications and energies of the seaman, are suited to superintend the general details of a large siessel,oe prove themselves worthy of being called to the honour of commanding a King's ship. " In drawing up these notes, every Commander in-Chief, or Captain of a vessel of his Majesty, aught to boast of fulfilling one of the most important duties of his post ; and it is trip.n his honour and ve ►acity that the Minister relies for fully appreciating the titles of officers to the King's favours, " It is not strictly required that the copies of these notes delivered by each Captain to the Com manders of a fleet, squadron, or division, or the Maritime Prefects, should contain the same details as the despatch addressed direct to the Minister. " The notes are to be sent to the Minister, under a double cover; the first addressed to the Minister, and on the second shall be written :-- 4 Confidential pates relative to ofticers..--For his Excellency alone.' u The Minister relies upon the devotedness of the A delis - 41s and Maritime Prefects, tied upon the zeal o f the Captains of his Majesty's vetsela, for the strict execution of these important provisions, (Signed) " Baron D'IIAUSSEZ." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER OF THE 27TH ULT. FROM EGItiA. " For some time a coldness has existed between Admiral Malcolm and Admiral Heyden. The eautos of it are not known, but it is attributed to or etructions which they have received from their re t.pective Governmente. The end will be a misun derstanding, liciween these two Powers. We are ignorant at present what part out Government would take in such a case, fur Admiral de tiigny is on good terms with both the Admirals. The ualtal forces of ti,e three great Powers seem to be con centrating more and more, the Russians at Porog, the English at Suda, and the French at Egina. General 'Lieu!, who has the ecmmand of the na..nco-Greek troops, finds it impossibZ2 to keep she withers in their ranks, Although he an otiicer of great merit, he has not yet obtained over these troops the same ascendancy as Colonel Fahvier." We learn from Terceira, that two English vessels vv/hieiz sailed from Ostend on the 26th of November arrived at Angra on the 18th of December. One ,4 them kat' the cadras of the I.sth Regiment of Ittr*Antty on board ; and the other, on. board of which was the Countess de Villaflor, had a call.; of provisions. Extract of a private letter of the 3d inst. from Lugans3;—This city of Italy has just been thrown into the utmost consternation. Two of the warmest partisans of the reform of our constitutioa have just fallen by the has:ds of assassins.

This vessel was appopriated as barracks for the sailors of crev,3 a the line. The fire commenced in a part of the hold which served as a prison, and was kindled by a prisoner, who alone fell a victim to his atrocious deed. The frames soon became so 4 , iQiept, that it was impossible to extinguish them, and it Wr.3 !hen resolved to tow the chip out of the port in ard.ex prevent the fire communicating to other vessels.! Upon reaching the small rosAbtead, she ran ashore, and was there burnt to the water's edge. The :dames raged from eight o'clock in the :;oaring till three in the afternoon. The naval authorh and all the men employed iu. the different Government, establishments embarked int cets, but as it was im possible to save the Sceptre, their efforts were ex clusively directed to prevent the fire spres4ing.

The responsible editor and the printer of La France Meridionale, a Toulouse journal, were re cently condemned to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 3001 r., as guilty of exciting to hatred and contempt of the King's Government, by the publication of an article upon the elevation of the Prince de Polignac to the Presidency of the Coun ed. The Procureur de Roi having appealed against this sentence as being.too light, the appeal carne on for hearing a few days since before the Royal Court of Toulouse.

(From the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.) STUTGARD (WURTEMBERG), JAN. IG.—His Mr jesty opened the the sessions of the States yester day, by the following Speech, addresed to the United Chambers : " MOST SERENE, ILLUSTRIOUS NOBLES,-RESPECTED, DEAR, AND FAITHFUL SUBJECTS :-- " I view with the most lively satisfaction my faithful Estates this day assembled round me. " Ten years have passed away, since, at the period of the re-establishment of the constitution, you for the first time assembled round my throne, to deli berate with me on the interests of the country, in the spirit of that constitution and with feelings of peace and affection,—since I expressed in this place the hope I entertained of being the happy father of a loyal people. " My hopes and my wishes have been realized. We can now with satisfaction glance black on the first decennial period of our constitution, which, constantly strengthened by the scrupulous fidelity with which we have maintained it, develops more forcibly from day to day its benign influence. " Supported by a legislature which works calmly and prudently, the administration in all its branches proceeds towat ds its object with the greatest possi ble order and regularity. An equitable assessment has lightened on my people those charges in the en deavour to diminish which I am incessantly occupied. " In comparin g the state of the Fina nces , w hi c h my .Minister for tlist department will lay before you, pith the wants of the former years, you will be satisfied that the ordinary expences of the State are less, by one million, than at the commence ment of this decennial period. My subjects have experienced a perhaps still more sensible allevia tion, by the diminution of the rate of assessment in the bailiwicks and communes, in the public trea sury having taken on itself the charges and debts of corporations, and by the abolition or commute- ion of a vast number of burdensome services and homage•. I have reserved the financial savings of the later years (of the period above mentioned) to cover certain temporary expellees incurred for ob jects of general utility. My Minister of Finance will propose to you particular resources for other expenses of a similar kind, in order that my people may already enjoy that:alleviation which the diminu tion of the s,rvices of the present year will permit. " By my persevering cares for tile encouragement of commerce, I have succeeded in opening to the industry of my subjects a new field, which will daily extend itself. I have charged my Ministers to make to you the communications in this respect, authorized by the constitution. It will be to me an object of sincere pleasure to give every assistance which can animate, perfect, and reward the national industry. " I recommend to you the several projects which my Ministers will lay before you, that you may give them your most serious deliberation; and that if they should not be brought to maturity this session, your discussions may serve as a preparative for a more ef fective operation in future. " Your intelligence, your dispositions, are to me a guarantee that this fifth session of the States will, like the preceding, serve to confirm the mutual con fidence which has always united me to my Wurtem bergere The following address was delivered in answer to the speech from the throne, by the Prince of Hohenlohe-Ochringen, the President of the First Chamber : " SIRE,—Your Majesty has expressed an as surance most flattering to us, in declaring the plea sure you feel at seeing the Estates of your kingdom assembled round your throne. "A glance at the last ten years must be extremely grateful to your Majesty, in presenting to your view the accomplishment of the hopes and wishes with which, after having established the Constitution, you on the same day, the same hour, and in the saro:2 place, cemented by a solemn alliance with us the rights of Royalty. " If at that time the representatives of NlTurtem berg looked with confidence on their Sovereign, who, in receiving the Constitution, kindled the torch of hope for the future, they are now ready to oKer the homage of their testimony to that tin shaken Prmness, that Royal loyalty' which not only scatto - ed the seeds of national prosperity, but watched over their growth and nourished them with the utmost care until they reached a healthful ma turity. " These Representatives acknowledge, with the most profound gratitude, the manner in which your Majesty li#s endeavoured, by indefatigable labours, to reconcile the progressive development of our public institutions v.'ith a diminution of the ex penses of the gtate, and to open, by increased en couragements for commerce, a most . fertile held for the industry of your subjects. " They have heard with the most lively satisfac the assurance which your Majesty has just give:., thAt the prosperous condition of the finances has . procured for the Estate the precious advantage of economic savings. " The Estates wait respeetto;ly the pommunica tions which your Majesty has promised, as well 4s • the measures which are to be submitted to their de1:42'463"5. " They y 4 ,enter upon those deliberations with the same spirit of co.:l4;:dence and affection which in spires your Majesty's heart. " May the Almighty deign to fulfil the prayer which vre have offered up to him, that the coiirz.. , at yo.p. Majesty's reign may still be marked by pe riods as gloi•ipus and as pi osperous as that which has already pasm 4 l, e.O that he may grant to your faithful Wurtemberterz tp kptiour, during a long life in your august person, a Moi.i4c4 who feels a paternal affection towards them.—Vivc le .ILipil !GERMAN PAPERS. ODESSA, DEsj. - 40,70ur journal of to-day says, " The sanatory state of tbe torn . continues to be satisfactory.

Whenever they go .21:t, they are at tende.l by an escort of Cossacks, and an 0,:1 . ,:cer of the quarantine. With these precautions they have been twice to the theatre, to which they were ad mitted by a door not otherwise used, and conducted to boxes entirely separate from the rest. Similar ;we was taken in the visits which they paid to the Ccveynor-General, to General Count Von,, Witt, and to the r: ! 'rovernor of the town. Eve6!' body was pleased with thel. , Aaviour of the Turkish' Ambassadors, which was characterized by affability and dignity. " Half Pacha has not the appearance of an Asiatic, but of a well-bred European, acquainted with all the refinements of etiquette of our societies. A smile, which constantly animates his countenance, forms a singular contrast to the gravity we are used to in the Turkish physiognomy; his countenance, as well as that of the second Ambassador, Nedschib Effendi, corresponds with his manners. Politeness to the ladies is also another remarkable feature in the character of our guests. With respect to their dress, they have two different uniforms ; the fashion of both is the same, and much resembles the jacket of our Cossacks ; the gala uniform differs from the other in having rich and elegant gold or silver em broidery or the collar, and gold or silver ornaments on the breast, as in the Dolman; of our Hussars.— The pantaloons are fuller than those of the Cossacks. The boots are quite in the European fashion. The civil and military officers wear over their uniforms a large cloak, with an embroidered collar. Those of the two Ambassadors are besides adorned with gold embroidery from top to bottom. On their heads they wear velvet or cloth caps, with embroidery, and a gold or silver tassel. The cap belonging to the ordinary uniform is a plain red Fes, with a silk tassel. The military are distinguished from the civil by diamond insignia, the size and form of which vary according to the rank of the wearer. The badge which Halil Pachn wears on his neck has a crescent in the centre. That of the Colonels is also corn pssed of jewels, and is worn on the left breast, a little lower than the belt to which the cartouch-box is fastened. That of the Captains is also worn on the breast, but has only one jewel. The Sultan gives these badges when he confers the commission. " The representations in our theatre made a great impression on the Ambassadors, and delighted all the persons of their suite. One of Bahl Pacha's Aides de-Camp, who accompanied the Plenipotentiories to the Congress at Akerman, and who speaks French with the accent of a native Parisian, perceived in the boxes a lady whom he knew, and immediately inti mated his wish to be allowed to pay her a visit.— Prussian Stale Gazette, Jan. 19. NCREMBURG, JAN. 15.—A letter from Vienna, of the Bth of January, inserted in the Journal of Munich, is as follows : An event which calls to mind the trials of here tics in ancient times, has added to the grief of the Imperial family for the loss of a valued member, and excited the greatest indignation in the public. A rude fanaticism, such as would hardly have been ex pected 200 years ago, was on the point of refusing funeral honours, and the place belonging to her in the sepulchre of the Imperial family to the wife of the conqueror at Amberg, Waisburg, Stockach, Manheim, Zurich, Caldiero, and Aspen), and the de scendant of Adolphus of Nassau. According to ancient custom, the vault of the Ca puchin convent at Vienna preserves the body ; the chapel of Loretto, in the Augustine convent, the heart ; and the cathedral of St. Stephen's the en trails of the deceased members of the Imperial house. The priests of the last two, incited, as is universally affirmed, by the Papal Nuncio, refused to receive the mortal remains of a Protestant I The capuchins refused to bear the mortal remains into the vault, and their place was supplied by domestic servants. The Protestant clergy were turned out of the church by the clergyman. Only the positive com mand of our Monarch, who is equally entitled to re spect for his virtues, his extraordinary fortunes, and his age, secured to the excellent Princess whom we have lost, a becoming sepulchre. She has lived with us ill love,' said in love she shall repose amongst us.' The afflicted Archduke Charles, to whom the army and the monarchy are so deeply indebted, is said to have threatened to keep the body till a chapel could be built for it at Aspern. The interference of the Nuncio, who has merely a diplo matic character, but no kind of jurisdiction, has in censed all persons who bay, any regard for the dignity of the State and of the Imperial family.-- .1 uremburg Correspondod, Jan. 16. AMERICAN PAPERS. :From the National Intelligencer of Wednesday, Dec. 23 ) THE FINANCES. The annual report from the Treasury Department was yesterday received in both Houses of Congress. We have condensed, in the subjoined statements, the substance of the information which it furnishes, touching the state of the finances. They embrace the receipts and expenditures, actual and estimated, for the current year ; the state of the public debt ; and the estimate of receipts and expenditures for the year to come. In addition to the pages from which this informa tion is extracted, the report embraces a variety of suggestions of defects in the existing laws, and of proposed remedies for them, These we do not un dertake to epitomize, as we shall soon give them at large.—The most material features of them are indeed anticipated in the message of the President of the United States, which is in the possession of every reader. RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. The receipts into the Treasury from all Dollars. Ct. sources, in the year 1827, were 22,9d6,363 96 The expenditure tnr the same year, in cluding the public debt, were 22,656,761 04 The balance in the Treasury on the I et of J.,nuary, 1828, was 6,668,286 10 In 1828, the receipts were 24,789,463 01 Making an aggregate of 31,457,710 71 The expenditures for 1628, were 25,455,313 90 Leaving a balance in the Treasury, Ja nuary I, 1829, of The receipts (luring the three first quar ters of the present year are esti mited at 19,437,230 98 The receipts for the fourth quarteAtre estimated at Making the aggregate of 30,57-1,666 79 The expenditure for the three first quarters itsve amounted, by es timate, to Theexpenditures for the fourth quarter, in cluding 3,689,542 93 on account of Fublie debt, is estimated at 7,245,451 05 26,164,695 10 Leaving i 4 thg Treasury on the Ist of January next, an estimated balance pf,„ 4,410,071 69 THE PUBLIC ',Eta.

EAST INDIA TRADE. The trade of the United States with the East Indies has been rapidly increasing for several years past. Yet it is somewhat singular that all those individuals who have been heretofore engaged in the direct or specie trade to China, have sooner or later been thrown into embarrassments, and eventually involved in ruin. This feature in the tea trade is particularly observable in that portion of commerce which is connected with New York, Philadelphia, and a few other ports, though not so much observ able, if any at all, in the Boston tea trade. What is the reason, and how can a remedy be devised, are questions of some importance to the commercial community, as well as to the national Legislature.— In the Message of the President there is a very sig nificant allusion to the long credits authorized on goods imported from beyond the Cape of Good Hope. The losses in the collection of the revenue are attributed to these credits, and a recommenda tion is given to Congress to shorten them. This is very wisely proposed in connection with the esta blishment of a warehousing system. The evils at tributed by the President to these long credits, do not alone affect the revenue of the nation. In the opinion of merchants and intelligent citizens in this neighbourhood, these long credits in the tea trade only have been equally injurious to the prudence, the prosperity, and soundness of East India mer chants. One branch of the evil which has particu larly affected the tea trade of New York and Phi ladelphia, is the prosecution of that trade through the medium of specie alone. In Boston and else where, where our East India merchants connected the tea trade with that of the North-west and of Europe, the same evils have not been experienced to the private fortunes of individual merchants. A system of long credits, which throws at once into the hands of a merchant a vast quantity of additional capital, is very apt at all times to create speculation that may run to ruin before the judgment can reach it. If the recommendation of the President be car ried into law by the action of Congress, we are per. fectly satisfied that great benefits will result to the prosperity of individuals, as well as to the revenue. 'fhe power of indulging in over speculation will be curtailed to reasonable dimensions, without impair ing those aids which our Government has always afforded to the capital engaged in foreign trade.— The practical effects of the President's recommends- tion are well known to our city delegates in the House of Representatives. WASHINGTON, DEC. 17.—A few days ago the President gave what may be called a Cabinet din ner, at which several of the opposition Members of both Houses were present, accompanied by their ladies arid daughters. The female leaders of the ton who figured during the last presidency, are in ecstacies with the suavity and urbanity of the Presi dent. Many of them were prepared to meet some hideous monster that could eat up a militia-man for breakfast with as little sang froid as a Maine lumber man could swallow a pickled herring. The soft manners and ready conversational poweis of the old war-worn General are now contrasted with the coldness, the rigidity, and frigidity of his predeces sor. The New England belles protest they shall hereafter entirely abandon the opposition. As they are great sticklers for etiquette, they Sttil a difficulty in attaining their object in a legitimate way, legalized by precedent and former ages. A wicked creature, charming as an angel, who is believed to be from the " great state," proposed the example of the famous " forty high minded," who turned a somerset in " the olden time," that far outstripped all political tumbling —either among the Greeks or Romans—the French or English. it is believed, thereibre, that the first "drawing-room," if it should be determined to hold them, will be crowded by the beauties, the belles, the leaders of the ton during the last Presidency. Badinage apart, the President is gaining golden opinions the more he is known —every thing con spires to realize the prediction that the Presidency of Andrew Jackson will be one of the purest, the brightest, the most halcyon periods of the republic. I have seen letters from some of the most distin guished men of Virginia, in which it is told that the effect produced by the Message was tremendous in favour of the present Administration. The magna nimity and candour of the old Virginia character are well known. The opponents of the President in that state are withdrawing their hostility astonish ingly. The excellence of the Message—the purity of the language—the correctness of the principles avowed, are admired by every class of men, and by none more than those who opposed his election. CHARLESTON MARKET, Dec. It. --- CorroN.—There was an extensive sale of Upland Cotton since our last, at a reduction of about 1-3 d cent. The principal transactions were at 94 a 9i.

Mr. Tierney reasoned ill, and Smith reasone d well, which with bad reasoners, is speculative reasoni"P Atter Mr. Tierney found that his opinions on this sub" ject were generally scouted, he was too prudent to express them ; bat we question if even he understood the rationale of the opinions, on account of which he was obliged !° abandon his own. In 1799 we find him inveighing the House of Commons against the evils of inaustyo capitals and credits, and declaring that " the evils arising from an immoderate extenson of farms are so obviotof and rapidly increasing, that some measures may he e l : petted for restr a i n i ng it, an d open i ng , b y t h e i mprove :110p r of natural opp or tu n iti es , : t h e eart h to t h e cult i vat i on °' men, not as hirelings to others." All this was gravely ut tered by one of the most distinguished Members of th e British Parliament, after a lapse of nearly two generatioll ° from the publication of the immortal work of Smith. Those whb complain of the incapacity of the Legislate ° in the present day, know little of the incapacity of a pr°' ceding generation, when the !redeye required no other Ile' complishiaent than the command of language, which ever,' man used to good society possesses, with a knack at tie' hating derived from practice. It is the age which has left the House of Commons b e hi n d it, th at i s a ll ; f or t h er e i 4 confessedly much .more information in the present Hon" than in the Houses while burning with admiration on the profound wisdom of Mr. Tierney, when he detected the roguery of the middlemen, and saw the dangers of We farms. The following is a translation of the Speech of the President, Count Capo d'lstria, at the opening of the Senate of Greece, at Nauplia, on the Bth of November last : " The Government has now assembled the Ge rousia, and you, Gentlemen, are to begin the im portant duties which, honoured with the public con tidence, you have been invited to exercise, accord ing to the decree of the fourth National Council. " You are not ignorant of the causes which have delayed your meeting. The circular, No. 14,450, of the 13th of September, communicated them to you on the part of the Government ; but we have the most perfect confidence in your zeal and energy, and we feel convinced that although much time has bete lost, you will now endeavour to expedite the business with which the Assembly of Argos charged you ; and we, on our side, will omit nothing to hasten this end, as you will see, by the communica tions which the secretaries of the Government have been commissioned to make to you, in this, the first meeting of the Gerousia. . _ " Besides the intricate concerns of the internal government, which will be submitted to your deli berations, we do not doubt that the matters already subjected to discussion, and which have influence on the happiness of Greece, will be equally the sub ject of your attention, and of your remitted care. " The Allied Powers have not as yet communi cated any thing on these latter points to the Greek Government. " We, however, hope, that our expectations will soon be realized, and that we shall soon be enabled to inform you that, thanks to the protection of our honottred.buefactors, and under the shield of the rights of niarons, Greece will be able honourably to real) theltits of her long and cruel sacrifices. " But the more the nation may desire and hope for that good fortune, it is the more necessary first to prove to the world, by the progress of its na tional regeneration, and by the establishment of in ternal order, that it is worthy of happiness. " The nation must rely on its chiefs to be en abled to effect this : and you, gentlemen, are in the first rank of these. You will therefore conceive how important are the labours confided to your pa triotism and talents, and how sacred are the duties which your charge imposes on you. We are con vinced that you will fulfil them in a manner worthy of the hopes of the nation and of the Government. " J. A. CAPO DISTRIA, Pr.sident. " N. SPILIADES, Secretary. " Nauplia (Oct. 27, 0.5.), Nev. 8, 1n9." The following is the answer of the Gerousia Mr. Tierney was destined for the ear, but eomigg unexpectedly to the possession of a considerable sum 136 dedicated himself to polities. Had he stuck to the lar r9 he would unquestionably have been the first man at tke Bar. Sir James Scarlett, with all his tact, would la" been no match for Mr. Tierney, with an English Jury. We have always understood that he regretted, iu afkr life, his abandoning a profession for politics which o 1 tained for him distinction, indeed, but little more; wbd i his large family demanded more than his limited marl/ could well afford. —Morning Chronicle. MR. O'CONNELL'S ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. (From the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday.) Mr. O'Connell has most punctually fulfilled the engagement which he had made with the county `Waterford. The Hon. Member left Dublin on Wednesday morning in an elegant light travelling carriage (which he has purchased expressly for such occasions), and arrived in Kilkenny that night• Next rreorming (Thursday) he set out for Car►ick• where a large party had been invited by William O'Donnell, Esq., to meet the Hon. Member for Clare at breakfast. " Whilst we - this day undertake the important duties which arc confided to us, we are not in the least ignorant how much their importance exceeds our abilities, and how difficult for us it will be pro perly to discharge our functions; but, on the one hand, our zealous devotion to the interests of our country, and, on the other, our earnest reliance on the prudence and talents of your Excellency en courage us to hope that our sincere efforts for the public welfare will be attended with success. The perusal of the projects of the Government for the improvement of the internal condition of the people, sufficiently proves to us, as indeed de all the wise and salutary acts of your Excellency since you first arrived in this country, how indefatigable your en deavours are for the regeneration of Greece. " With respect to the generous benefactors, who you inform us, as the powerful protectors of Greece, continue to bestow on us benefactions, which in a measure guarantee to us the happy re-establishment of our country, long suffering Greece can in no other manner discharge the debt of gratitude she owes her protectors, than by praying her heavenly King to grant long life and prosperity to her. " She is encouraged to hope, from their justice, the recommencement of the brilliant days of anti quity—days of which she already sees the dawn in the lately obscured horizon ; and for this she is in debted to your wise and prudent Government. From Carrick Mr. O'Connell, according to e"' gagement, and accompanied by a number o f the friends of the independent interest, set out int Kilmacthomas, but was stopped on his way et Clonea by an immense conc ourse o f t h e peop l e 01 , that part of the country, who had assembled there , determined to hear a speech from the great Libers^ tor. Mr. O'Connell found it was impossible to pass, he therefore got out of his carriage, and went into the chapel. A simultaneous rush was m ade into the chapel, and in a moment the edifice be came thronged to excess. The Catholic Ciergi of the parish, and others from the neighbouf hood, were present. Mr. O'Connell here ad' dressed another most powerful speech to the people, which produced, if possible, a 563 greater effect than the former. The e ntire party then set out for Kilmacthomay. Bow fires were lit along at both sides of the road , and peasantry, both male and female, were to be seen proceeding in immense crowds bearing boughs of laurel in their hands. The Hon. Member we ° soon in the midst of them, and was accompanieJ from that into the town with a thousand huzzas, the green boughs waving as they went along. Having re,ted here for half an hour, they proceeded at * rapid rate for Dungarvan, where the NWo were , for some hours, in the most anxious expectation' About a mile and a half from Dungarsan, Mr: O'Connell was met by an immense concourse with banners, flags, &c. who conducted him with loud and repeated cheering into the town. (Signed) " GEORGE SISSINIS, President." DEATH OF MR. TIERNEY. The Right Honourable George Tierney, whose death we now announce, was unquestionably one of the ablest of the distinguished men who took a lead in Parliament during the last forty years. He was first returned for Southwark in 1786 ; and, like his contemporaries, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Sheridan, he rose at once into fame. On the secession of Mr. Fez and his friends, he remained in his place, and vigorously contested every measure with Mr. Pitt, whom he challenged in 1795, on account of what would now be considered unjustifiable and unparlia inentary conduct—the attributing Lis opposition to a mea sure to a wish to impede the service of the country. When Mr. Addington Iseeatne Minister, Mr. Tierney took office under him, but on the return of Mr. Pitt to power, he again joined the Opposition. During the Fox and Gren ville Administration he was first Irish Secretary, and afterwards President of the Board of Controul. With the Whigs he quitted office, and on the death of Mr. Ponsonby he heroine Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons. As a speaker, Mr. Tierney was exceedingly original.__ From the moment he opened his mouth till he sat down the attention of his hearers never flagged for one moment. In a style which never rose above the colloquial, the most cutting sarcasms, level to the most ordinary understanding escaped from him, as if he were himself unaware of their terrible effect. How often have we seen his opponent writhing for hours under a succession of sarcasms, which it almost exceeded human patience to bear ! His sneer was withering. We are certain that of all the speakers, contemporaries of Mr. Tierney, no one was, so much dreaded as he was. His irony was inimitable. From the simplicity of his language, the reporters never misunder stood hint ; but from the rapidity of his colloquial turns; and the instant roar with which they were followed in the House, it was impossible to record all that fell front him; and the reports therefore, though almost always characte, ristic of him, were far from complete. But his manner and intonation added iminensely to the effect of what he said. He never attempted continuous discourse—uerer declaimed —and never attempted what is ordinarily understood by wit. It was the conversation of a shrewd man of the world who delivered Lis observations on the subject under dis cussion with an apparent candour, which contrasted sin gularly with the knowing tone and look of the speaker. Mr. Tierney was a most formidable opponent ; and, in his particular style of speaking, never will be equalled. No man ever possessed, in such perfection, the talent of seizing on a weak part of his adveleary, and exhibiting it in a ludicrous light. His mode of taking an argument to pieces and reaonstructing it in his own way astonished his hearers, who recognised the apparent fidelity of the copy, and yet felt at a loss how he had himself failed to perceive, during the preceding speech, what seemed now so palpably absurd. Yet, though Mr. Tierney was shrewd and acute, lie could not be said to take comprehensive )ye are not aware that lie peer delivered at; ob servation that could be separated from the question heloae him.

About six o'clock a large party sat down t 0 dinner, Mr. John Barron, the candidate of the Iry dependent interest taking the chair as President , with Mr. O'Connell at his side, and Robert Lon" gan, Esq. at the extreme end of the room as Vice' President. Next morning (Friday) Mr. o'Coli nell, Mr. John Barrom, the several friends of th e Independent interest, assembl e d a t b rea kf ast W it h the Very Rev. Dr. Foran. After breakfast Mr. Barron, accompanied bi several of his friends, and amongst them Mr. O'Con nell, proceeded to canvass such freeholders in that neighbourhood as he had not previously called upon or met with. The Beresfords, amongst other of their inventions, have been reciting the names of several freeholders in that county as pledged to Lord George Beresford, but Mr. Barron's canvas° yesterday kas given the most substantial refutation to this weak invention. Every one of these per sons who were so said to be pledged, not only dis avowed any such pledge, but instantly and in the warmest manner promised their votes to Mr. Barron, accompanying the promise invariably with a regret that they had not a thousand votes to give him. After the canvass, Mr. O'Connell addressed the multitudes of people who were assembled before tl►e hotel, and continued speaking with the most pow• erful effect for more than an hour. At the condn' sion of Mr. O'Connell's address, the people joined i❑ repeated rounds of cheering, and in sintultaneoue shouts of " down with the Beresfords." A hasty meeting of the Committee ‘sas then summoned, after which the friends of the lude pendent interest set out for Lismore, where al" other meeting and a public dinner was to Lave taken place that day (Friday). This day (Sato►'' day) the entire party accompany Mr. O'Connell down to Waterford, to attend the public dinner 1° be given to the lion. Member in this city. The dinner will be one of the most numerously and re' spectably attended that has ever taken place in Waterford. With respect to the result of the approaching contest, that result is now beyond all doubt or dan ger. Nothing CUH now prevent the triumphant soy cess of the popular interest.
