THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICEIZE FALSUM AUDE4T ? LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, IS2I . We have received, out of its regular course, the Moniteur of Saturday, which contains the following Ordinance of the KING, appointing a new Administration " ROYAL ORDINANCE. " Louis, by the Grace of GOD, &c. _ , " We have ordered, and do order as follows : " The Sieur PEYRONNET, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, is appointed Minister Se cretary of State for the Department of Justice, and Keeper of the Seals.

" Given at Paris, from the Castle of the Tui leries, Dec. 14, in the year of Grace 1821, and the 27th of our Reign. (Signed) " LOUIS. (By order of the King) 44 LAURISTON, " Minister Secretary of State for the Royal Household." A private letter communicates some of the proceedings which took place previous to the nomination of the new Ministry, an event which bad been anticipated since the discomfiture of the late Ministry in the Chamber of Peers on the Bth inst. We subjoin an extract of this letter:— " Paais, Dec.ls.—Yesterday night,after much hesitation on the part of M. Villele, and a great deal of negociation, the Ministry was finally settled. M. Villele refused to be a Member of a 'Ministry of which M. de Blacas should be chief.. The Duke de Richelieu had proposed to the King, that M. de. Blacas should be his succes sor, and the courier was even despatched to bring the latter from Rome, no doubt being entertained that he would be acceptable to his colleagues. M. de Villele, however, who is to be the real and efficient President, strongly objected to his appointment,' and refused to act under him. The list which the. Duke de Richelieu gave in yesterday was there fore opened anew, the King saying to M. De " Ma foi, fides done le Ministere vous metric." The new Minister obeyed the call, and the result was the list which you have in the Afoniteur. To-day there is to be au important debate in the Chamber of Deputies, at which the new MiniSters will attend. It is supposed that the law on the censorship, which demands The continuance of that oppression for five years more, will now be withdrawn. The new Minis try mill be obliged to pay this homage to the small constitutional party on the right side, which overturned the old Ministry, and opened the door for them to office. The Five per Cents. fell yesterday (Friday) to 87f. 5c." Under the usual head of Foreign Intelligence, 'will be found extracts from the French Papers of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Madrid Papers to the 3d, and from other Foreign ar rivals. They give every reason to suppose that the question which has been so long in agitation between Russia and the Porte will shortly be decided ; and all accounts concur in considering - war as the inevitable result. The affairs of Greece are rapidly improving. The revolt of the Turkish Albanians has struck consternation into Constantinople, and seems likely to hasten the expulsion of the Turks from the Morea, Epirus, and the adjoining provinces. Parga is reported to have fallen into the possession of the Suliotes, and the Ottoman forces to be beaten every where by the Greeks and their allies. From the copious extracts which will be found in our Foreign Intelligence, our Readers will see that the cause of the Greeks is prosperous and Promising. No one can now doubt that the great struggle in which they are engaged will termi nate in the establishment of their independence, and that, too, perhaps, without any direct aid from Russia. The Ottoman Empire is evidently crumbling to its fall. Its Christian subjects are not now the only insurgents who have revolted from Its authority."rhe Turks of Epirus have joined the Greeks and Albanians, and are in hostile Opposition to the army sent by the Porte to besiege ALI PACHA. The \Vechabites are in arms ; and the Persians are prosecuting the war with vigour and success. Constantinople has to pass through a winter of disunion, of alarm, and o a f horror. The operations of the Persians will curtail the Asiatic supplies both of provisions and revenue. The dissatisfaction and the muti nous spirit of the Janissaries will not easily be soothed and restrained. The Asiatic troops, who have been compelled, contrary to ancient usage, to remain embodied during the winter, will re volt, unless they are punctually paid and liberally provisioned.'The savage disposition of the po pulace, it is known, is ripe for any act of horror, even the destruction of the city by fire ;—and the Poor defenceless Christians, there is too much reason to fear, are doomed to glut the fury of these barbarians, on every fresh disaster which befals their armies. Private letters state that fortifications. are erecting round Constantinople, and that the Turks exhibit the mingled emotions of rage and despair. The ensuing year, we doubt not, will witness the final downfall of their power. CANADA.—We received this morning a series of Quebec Papers, from which we shall give speedily farther Extracts. QUEBEC, Nov. W.—As we suspected, the first accounts of the damages done to the crops of England turn out to be much exaggerated. The sudden rise on this side the water has lately received a check by a fall in the prices of wheat and flour, and we have but few vessels in port to take off what produce may offer. None were more ready to. take advantage of the rumour of a great rise than our Bakers, and we trust, that the labouring classes will eat their bread this winter, at reasonable prices. 1 _ ITALIEAx, Nov. 12.—Extract of a Letter from Fredericston. —" A very afflicting event has taken place in this town :—Mr. GEORGE WHIT MORE, son of the Attorney-General, has been mortally wounded in a duel with Mr. GEORGE F. STREET : they were both attornies, and have young families. Mrs. WHITMORE, on receiving the dreadful account, became almost senseless." The arrivals from Ireland this morning bring a more numerous list of outrages than has been re ceived on'any one day since the commencement of the disturbances. There has been another murder ; and the system of attacking houses, and plundering them of arms and money,—of ad ministering unlawful oaths,—and promulgating atrocious threats against the' payer of tythes, S:c., is conducted with greater activity and to a greater extent than ever. The insurgents, too, appear in greater force, with increased audacity, and seemingly better organized and armed than at an earlier period of the disturbances. Con siderable alarm is felt in Dublin itself, where the public houses are ordered to be all shut up every evening at eight o'clock. By a private letter, we are assured that the Dublin Roman Catholics have been sworn, and that serious apprehensions are entertained that the country at large is on the eve of a convulsion.

The Court and Privy Council which the KING held on Monday, the 10th instant, at Brighton, were the first his MAJESTY has held since his accession to the Throne, which has made the Pavilion a Royal Palace, as it is the acts done in a building, by a Sovereign, which constitutes a Palace, and not the magnitude or magnificence of a building.

The Marquis WELLESLEY, accompanied by two Gentlemen, left town on Saturday afternoon for Ireland, where he is expected to arrive on Tuesday morning. Amongst the vigilant and praiseworthy Magis trates who have exerted themselves in the South of Ireland in the prevention of disturbances, none is more deservedly distinguished than ROBERT HEDGE EYItE, Esq. of Macroomp Castle, who, highly to his honour, isa constant resident on his Family Estate, and whose hospitable Board and ample Mansion are ever open to strangers visiting that neighbourhood. • IRELAND. ANOTHER BARBAROUS AlvanEn.—By accounts received in town yesterday, from Rathmolin, county of Meath, we learn that a horrid murder was perpetrated in that neighbourhood s on the night of Tuesday, the 11th instant. The unfor tunate .victim is said to have been brother to a man who gave 'evidence on.the trial of the mur derers of Mr. Cruise, whose melancholy fate is in the recollection of our readers. His name is William Wiley. It is supposed that he was way-laid by a party, on his return from the fair, on that day, and murdered in a small field near the road, leading from Longwood to Rathmolin. The head was nearly severed from the body, ap parently by a sharp instrument. No Inquest had been held when our informant left the place ; but there are,certain circumstances known; which will, in all probability, lead to a complete de tection of the inhuman murderers.— (Dub/in , Morning Post, Dec.l4.) There was a numerous Meeting of the Magis trates of the County of Louth, at Castlebelling ham, on the 7th inst., and they have given an opinion, that the public peace cannot be preserv ed there, unless all the corps of Yeomanry that were originally raised in the county should be put on permanent dray. They declare, that secret meetings are held, and that they appre hend the perpetration, in the County,of Louth, of such outrages as have disgraced other parts of the kingdom. The Cork .2.ldvertiser of the 11th inst. contradicts the report of the shooting of one of the guards who had been escorting the Doneraile post-boy. Extract of a Letter from Tralee The mur derers of .Major Collis, with the exception of one, have been discovered ; five of them have been taken ; the man man who fired the shot is not yet in custody."—(Waterford Mirror.) [From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.] Yesterday, Patrick Dooly was broqght in by a party of the 93d, and lodged in gaol, for robbing Mr. Stevens of his fire-arms, a few nights ago, on the long pavement. This morning, W. M'Na namara was also lodged in prison, and is identified by Mr. Stevens as the associate of Dooly in the robbery. They are fully committed by Alderman Watson, and will be tried at the City Commission. On Monday night, the Police stationed at Newcastle appeehended, under the warrant of Major Wilcocks, the Chief Magistrate, Patrick Brown, 'Thomas-Lee, Morgan Cregan, George Darcy, Patrick Enright, Thomas Keetfe, Daniel Keeffe, John Finn, and Patrick Cregan, charged on oath with having committed a riot under the Whiteboy Act, and with having assaulted Cathe rine llasset, a Crown prosecutrix, on her return from last Assizes, and the Police who were es corting her. The above ten men are lodged in gaol this day, and will be tried at the Commission. On Saturday night, a notice was posted at Patrick's-Well Chapel, near Loughgur, in this county, signed " Captain Rock," ordering no tithes or taxes to bt paid, a reduction of 60 per cent. on all rents, ind directing the High Sheriff not to be so officious in taking down the Captain's order. Captain Gun, with tweive of the 93d re giment, took possession of a house directly oppo site the Chapel, at ten o'clock on Saturday even ing, and had not left it ten minutes, when a man right well dressed, with new top boots, riding a ' grey horse, took a hammer from his pocket and nailed up the notice. The person who saw him has given information of the fact. On Monday night, a number of armed men at tacked the house of Mathias Fitzgerald, of Ballyvareen, near Kildimo, and broke into it,, when they destroyed all his furniture i and left a notice with a man of his, resident in the house, to have Fitzgerald give up his farm ; they after wards killed two cows and a horse belonging to Fitzgerald, supposed with a sledge, as their sculls were beat in. Fitzgerald only took this farm last May. • The Miltown Yeomanry, under Sir John God frey, made a general search for fire-arms in the vicinity of Killorglin, county of Kerry, and suc ceeded in obtaining forty-three muskets, besides a number of swores, pistols, and bayonets. The neighbourhood of Welchestown, near Charleville, is a scene of continued disturbance : almost every night, bandittis patrole the roads and attack the peaceable inhabitants. A re spectable Gentleman informs us, ,that, on Satur day night, five hundred Insurgents paraded near Ehnvale, and took fire-arms from six farmers' houses. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, Lieut. Murris and a party of the Ballylongford Corps, proceeded to a farm in the neighbourhood of Ballybunion, to distrain some cattle, under warrant of a Magistrate, and a report which was circulated through the fair of Tarbert, that this party were attacked and fired .upon, having reached Captain Robert Leslie, he, accompanied by William Lindsay, Esq. Mr. Kittson, and a party of the Tarbert Infantry, set off instantly to their assistance, when they met them at Astee, returni►►g, after beating off upwards of a thou sand people, armed with ,scythes, pitchforks, and stones, killing two men and a woman, and wound ing several others. The following is a comparative view of the pre sent state of the several counties in Ireland : The counties in tranquillity are—Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Donegal, Down, Dublin, Fermanagh, Kildare, King's County, Leitrim, Londonder!y, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Monaghan; Queen's County, Sligo, Tyrone, 'Wexford, and Wicklow. Those partially dismrbed are seven—Carlow, Galway, Kil kenny, Meath, Roscommon, Waterford, and Westmeath. In subordination and crime disgrace, to a wide extent, the remaining five—Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Tipperary.

On Friday fortnight, Sir Edward Smythe'S hounds had a fine chase. They met at Uffington village, and from the cover called the Horse Pastures, a fine fox broke away, 'crossed the road to the Holly Coppice, ran from thence at an amazing rate to Peinton, to the Home Barns Covers, . skirted. ShawbUry Park, over Abrey Wood, went-forward for Asticy, and . thence to Battesfield, going within a field of the church. He thence led the hounds to. All Hussey, and darted into a fold yard.— Here, for the first and only time, the hounds were at check, owing to Reynard's making his way out of the yard through a sough ; but id a few moments he was observed darting across the Ellesmere road, 'and the pursuit immediately , continued. He then made his point for NI orrington covers, - skirted them, and darted into a fold yard at Pennell, and from thence into a cow pasture, before the house, where he was overtaken by the hounds, and killed in a most gallant style, after one hour and 33 minutes of the severest running. All EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—On Wednesday last, a horse belonging to Mr. illawe ' of Loughborough, took a hedge six feet high, which in length exceeds any leap recorded for many years, being in length from hind feet to hind feet, 11 yards and 24 inches, carrying a youth l2st.
