F6REIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS Dtc. I.—Yesterday, at eight o'clock in the evening, the King received . in his ca binet the simple deputation of the Chamber 'of Deputies, composed of the President and the twe Secretaries, who, conformably to the orders of his Majesty, delivered to him the address Noted by the Chamber. The address voted by the Chamber of Depu ties, in a Secret Committee, on the 26th Nov., is in the following terms : • 4 SIRE—Your faithfulsubjects, the Deputies of the Depart aPproach the foot of the throne with the profound ex prea.:on of their devotion and respect ; to which they are happy to in. able. to add that of truth, which a legitimate King is alone 7,nathy of hearing. `• Your sorrows, Sire, have been those of all France ; she consuies herself, with her King, on the sacred cradle in which reposes the heir of our love, and that of your example. This infant will accomplish the promises of his birth, and the de sires of your tendernetis. lie will grow up under your eyes for thlkublic happiness ; and, full of your mind, he will unite all hearts. " We congratulate you, Sire, upon your continued amica ble relations with Foreign Powers, in the just confidence that a peace so precious has not been purchased by sacrifices incom• patible with the honour of the nation, and the dignity of your crown. " The benevolent thoughts of your Majesty extend to all the calamities which afflict Europe. Foreigners, as well as French men, bless the protecting hand which aids them for the honour of humanity. Let religion, let the interests.of subjects, weigh fully in the scale of a generous policy, and these calamities will find.a term. • " Thanks are due, Sire, to your tutelary foresight ! Our me naced frontiers invoke it in their peril ; they solicit the most effectual and rigorous measures to close every channel of intro- duction to the contagion. " The prospect of our internal situation; the progress of in dustry and of the arts; the new life promised to commerce by increased facilities of communication; the riches of the public treasury, which increase our credit; the prbgressive reduction of taxation, which a more extensive economy will still further alleviate ; the hope of renouncing provisional measures, and the first steps made, under your auspices, towards a regular system of administration ; the order and discipline of a faithful army, which honour, and a love of its King, have invincibly at tached to its banners ; all these features united form, Sire, a picture of general prosperity, well calculated to affect thepater nal heart of your Majesty. " Organs of the gratitude and filial piety of your subjects, we do not fear that we shall diminish a joy so pure, by causing to be heard at the foot of the Throne the respectful complaints of the agricultural interests, that fruitful nurse of France.— Their continually increasing distress in the depattments of the east, west, and south, proves the inefficacy of. the tartly pre cautions which are opposed to the fatal introduction of foreign corn. " An interest not less urgent affects the first necessities of Myour subjects. Full of, those generous sentiments which your ajesty has known how to read in their hearts, they claim the completion of your gracious views. They await those necessary institutions without which the charter cannot exist. They de mand of its immortal author that the whole of our laws may be placed in harmony with the fundamental law. "- Then, Sire, all the wishes of your Majesty will be accom plished ; the passions will calm of themselves, and mistrust will vanish. ", The Monarchical and Constitutional spirit, which is the spirit of- France, will attain, without effort, that unity of views which your high wisdom recommends to us. A government constant in its- principles, and firm and sincere in its course, will ensure the glory and stability . of that Throne which has been so nobly styled by your Majesty the protector of public liberty." To which the King replied : " I know the contents of the Address which you present to me. "- I know the difficulties which attend the sale of corn.— Notwithstanding the recollection of a recent dearth, I have for the first time restrained the importation of foreign grain. The laws have been executed; but no law can prevent the inconve nience which arises from a superabundant harvest the whole of Enrope experiences it at this moment. " The ameliorations, a plan of which the Chamber has traced, speak in favour of the acts of my Goveinment." They can only be preserved, and multipfisd, by the loyal concurrence and wisdom of the Chambers. " In exile and persecution I have supported my rights, the honour of my race, and that of the French name. On the `throne, surrounded by my people, I . feel indignant at the bare supocisition that I can ever sacrifice the honour of the nation, and the dignity of my Crown. " :It is pleasing , to me to believe that the majority of those who voted this Address ltave not duly considered the import of all its expressions. If they had had time to consider them, they would not have hazarded a reflection, that as a King, 1 ought not to characterize,—as a father, I wish to forget."— ( lioniteur.) It is now some time since a society in favour of the. Greeks has been forming at Zurich. About fifty of its members met the day of St. Martin (the anniversary of Helvetic liberty) .to ar range.and determine its organization. The speech deliyered.by the Canon and Professor Bremi, at the opening of the first sitting, has just been pub lished. It presents an animated picture of the lamentable situation of a country as interesting far its misfortunes, as for the recollections to which 'it gives birth, where so many ma jestic ruins remind us of its ancient splen dour, and the chefs d'oeuvre of which re vived in every part of the West a taste for the Fine Arts, Sciences, and Letters. The author, in. demonstrating the justice of the cause of the Greeks, combats the opinion which treats as re bels arm oppresSed nation—an European and Christian nation, who are combating for liberty, country, and the most sacred rights of civilized man.. M. Brerni concludes with declaring his 'conviction that Providence, who watches over the fate . of human societies, will protect such gene, rotes efforts, and will not abandon-a people whose cause-is • connected with the interests of religion humanity. Time following is the summary of the last Bul letin of Barcelona : ." On the 13th of November there were in the Hospitals 333 sick: Five ware admitted on that day, and 25 discharged.- 1 ,- The number of convalescents was 43, and that of deaths only 7. Hence it results that on the 15th November, there were 331 sick in the different Hospitals, of which 2 were at Barcelonetta, 7il at the Seminary, 1 at the Virreina, and '23 in the Town.— A ccording to the report of the Priests, 36 persons had died in private houses on the same day, which makes the total number of deaths 43. It has been remarked that the greatest number of cures are, in proportion, effected at the Seminary." FRENCH FUNDS. Nov. 30, Five per Cents. Deferred Stock 99 f. 90 c. Bank Stock 1'275 f. 75.0.

VIENNA, Nov. 20.—According to letters from Constantinople of the 27th of October, the Sul tan, after having heard of the invasion of the Per sians, sent a person to the Court of the Schah, to avert the storm, and at the same time dispatched orders to the Paellas on the frontiers to repel the attack. The Asiatic troops lately arrived have continued theft mamth towards Greece, to prove that the Porte despises the attack of the Persians. It is announced, at the same time, that the Divan, in which the Deputies of the Janissaries }mile seats,s.have resolved on not acceding to the last demands of Russia. The influence of the English Minister, Lord Strangford, is much de creased, and the Porte now mistrusts all the Christian Envoys. It is thought, however, this resolution may be changed, though the Janis saries arc very desirous of war. A great catas trophe is impending over the Ottoman Empire. 0 DESS A Nov. I.—( Extract ofuPriimte Letter.) —According to private letters from St. Peters burgh of the 21th of October, the Emperor has despatched his ultimatum to Constantinople, in reply to the last note of the Porte. His Majesty, it is affirmed, persists in his previous determina tion, and continues faithful to.the principles of the Congress of Layhach. His Majesty perse veres in his demand for the guarantee of the rights of the unotfending Greeks—rights which were already secured by preceding treaties. He also requires the immediate evacuation of Mol davia and Walachia. So long as those two prin cipal points remain in dispute, the Emperor can not renew his diplomatic relations with. the Porte. Although we are not acquainted with the particu lars of this note, it seems that it defends the rights of humanity and the Christian religion, according to the example and principles of Baron Strogo noff's first notes. Our Court has communicated its ultimatum to the Courts of England and Aus tria, according to the reciprocal relations of amity and confidence.—The Emperor at the same time expresses his hope that the benevolent influence which the Austrian and. English Ambassadors 'exercse over the Divan will powerfully contri bute to induce the Porte to accede to the just de mands of Russia. Count Lieven has been charged with this mission to Hanover and to London'.- 1 Our guards have made a movement towards Minsk and the south, since the Empe t ror's de parture. SEMLIN (lluNG.tr.Y), Nov. 12.—News from Constantinople, of the 28th of October, have been received at Belgrade. The Deputies of Servia, who were staying there, have been ar rested by order of the Grand Signior. NUREMBERG, Nov. 23.—According to the last accounts from Constantinople, the Greeks have raised the siege of Patras. FRANKFORT, Nov. 25.—The Course of Ex change at Petersburgh has just fallen. This circumstance has caused a great sensation in this town. A Civil Provisional Government for all Greece has just been established at Tripolitza. According to the last letters from \Viddin, the Pachas of that Government have made an appeal in all respects similar to that of the Pacha of Salonica, and ordered the arming of all Mussul mans from the age of 16 to 60. The Pachas of Widdin and Belgrade have received reinforce ments, consisting chiefly of Asiatic troops. Commercial letters from Petersburg say that the Government is actively occupied with a new tariff of customs, the principles of which are already determined. It seems that this tariff will be very prejudicial to foreign manufactures, its provisions being designed for the encouragement and protection of Russian manufactures. Many articles which have hitherto been imported into Russia will, in future, be rigorously prohibited,' and other articles will be subjected to such heavy duties as to amount to a prohibition. Re fined Sugars and some articles of English manu factures will come under the last denomination. NAPLES, Nov. 4.—lt is said that by virtue of a fresh Convention with Austria, the troops of that Power will only remain in our kingdom three years longer. 'Their number, including those in Sicily, do not exceed 40,000. ROME, Nov. 7.—lt is reported that General Ruffo, detained in the castle of (Euf, near Naples, has succeeded in effecting his escape, in a woman's dress. SPANISII PAPERS. CORTES, OCT. 27.—LaspoN, Nov. 15. M. Vasconcellas proposed to request the Government, that the battalion which was to be sent to Rio Janeiro, might be ready as soon as possible, and sail with that going to Pernam buco, and on arriving at this latter place, if all should be found tranquil, to proceed to its destination ; if not, to land, and be under the orders of the new Governor, if judged necessary—Seeoud, That in case the battalion for Riu could not be ready to sail with the other, it should sail as soon as possible, and at all events, to touch at that port to learn the news, and either land or continue its voyage, as circumstances shall require. —Third, That all troops destined for Rio shall touch at Pernambuco. _ _ _ N. B. The voyage thus made is more convenient and shorter. Some discussion arose on this—at the end of which it was re solved to acquaint the Government that every thing necessary to mantain tranquillity in Brazil was at its disposal. OCT. 29.—1 t was proposed by M. Moniz Tavares, that the persons exiled from Pernambuco by .Luiz do Rego having been found innocent, the Government should be requested to send them with the expedition that was ready to sail for Pernam buco, and afford them all the assistance they stood in need of. Some Deputies, besides the mover, spoke in very severe terms of the - cruelty and despotism of Luiz do Rego, whom they ac cused as the author of all the troubles in that province. The motion was approved. These persons, sent to Portugal by the Governor Rego, are 42 in number. Nov. I.—The Diario of the Government contains a Decree of the Cortes relative to the frequent and scandalous introduc tion of contraband goods, a flagrant instance of which has lately been discovered. The Decree orders that the greatest pains be taken to discover the real criminals, that these public robbers may suffer, besides the penalty inflicted by the laws, the ig nominy and disgrace which they merit; and that to this end their names be published in the Diario do Governo, as well as on the Exchange of Lisbon, and on the Exchange of every ,'her place in the kingdom. In the Sitting of the Cortes of the titii of Nov.,.M. Vascon celles drew a most deplorable picture of the present state of the Portuguese navy, and concluded with a motion on the subject, which was to be considered in the. second reading. CADIZ, Nov. U.—The following is the account of the state of the yellow fever, from the 31st October to the 3d Novem ber, inclusive :-;-• At Port St. Mary—Remaining 175, new cases 91, cured 54, and deaths 41. At Xeres—Remaining 77, new cases 32, cured 39, and deaths 18. . _ _ • _ At Lebrija--Remaining 60, new cases 58, cured 39 and deaths 16. ' The deaths at Cadiz, on -the 6th, 7th, and Bth (all of ordi nary diseases), were 2 31 BAnc E Lox A, Nov. 10.—The malady is happily diminish ing in a very sensible manner. MADRID, Nov. 16.. , —The Madrid Gazette of to-day contains a long and well-written article on the necessity of repressing the licentiousness of the Press. If the laws do not rigorously check such abuses of the liberty of the Press, especially ca- Inmnious and inflammatory writings, all honest men will de test and fear an institution, which, instead of answering the ends for which it was intended—that is, to enlighten the public mind, to diffuse truth, and restrain the Government within the bounds of the law—will become, in the hands of immoral men, an instrument of defamation, and an infallible means to sully the character or goOd citizens, and. to mislead public opinion. The Decree of the COrtes is officially promulgated, by which ‘‘' all kinds of Foreign Merchandise, the trade in which was per mitted before the establiihment of the New General Sy.stzm of Customs approved by the Cortes, Oct. 5, 1820, and winch had been imported before that period into the pdrts of the Penin sula, may be re:exported at the pleasure of the proprietors, on paying a duty 017 per cent." . • THE LATE MAYOR OF CHESTER• JUDGMENT OF TIIE COURT OF KING'S BENCH. (Prom the Chester Courant.) The news of this event reached Chester on Sunday evening, (25th ult.) and we this day record the measure of punisliment awarded by the Court of King's- Bench. The intelligence had been expected every night from that of Tuesday, and crowds surrounded the post-office at the hour of the mail's arrival, so anxious were the citizens -to knor e v the result. Previous to the trial of Mr. Williamson, as well as the intermediate period be tween that event and the passing of judgment, we have cau tiously abstained from any remarks that might be interpreted is an intention of 'exciting prepossessiOns against his cause in the minds of those who had to decide on the question of guilty or not guilty, or of • giving such a colouring to the offence as might induce revisitation of aggravated penalty. The die be ing cast, no such constriction can be applied to those observa tions which we may offer, and which a sense of public duty im pels us - to submit. The end of punishment, as contemplated in a moral view, is less efficiently answered by an act of reta liative infliction on the offender, than as it exhibits a salutary example to others, and ensures security to society ; though we cannot exclude the fitness and propriety of making a man suffer in his own person for the perpetration of crime, as it may operate in an advantageous way for his own reformation. There are several prominent points in the transaction which gave rise to this prosecution, which deserve to be distinctly marked, and cannot be too strongly'reprobated.--1. As to the situation held by the defendant ; he was invested with the high autho rity, and sustained the sacred office of Chief Magistrate —sworn to an impartial execution of his duty between man and man, without favour or affection. If the well-being of society re quires punishment for breaches of the law, even when ignorance, and want, and poverty, might plead in extenuation how much .more deserving of visitation is the more exalted delinquent— and still in a higher degree, when the offender occupies the chair . ' of justice, and has confided to him the administration of the laws. A violation of this trust is as criminal in itself as it is dangerous in its consequence and if not efficiently cor.. redact, might speedily SubVerathe liberties of Englishmen, and bring into disgrace and vontempt the whole Magistracy of the The nature of the offence itself is of no ordi nary magnitude. The very existence of our constitutional liberties, as has frequently been maintained in the Senate, and enforced - froth the Bench, is dependent upon the purity of our popular elections ; and every safeguard that patriotism could suggest, or ingenuity could devise, has been raised, to se care to us - this invaluable blessing. In this case, there is a gross violation of this privilege—a. violation direct and wilful— charged and proved to be corrupt. The law, in its wisdom and mercy, liss made every possible allowance to the Magistrate for human imbecility, for misconception, and even for intel lectual obliquity, in the exercise Of . his Ministerial functions, and never visits with penalty, except where the intention 'is manifest, of turning aside from the straight-forward path of equity and justice. - When, therefore, delinquency of this kind is . brought home, and conviction ensues, the offence must be viewed as highly criminal, and requires a punishment propor tionably severe.-3. But the consequences resulting from the improper conduct of the Mayor during the last elec tion, are of vast importance. We have no need of colouring beyond the naked fact, to chew their magnitude. On the trial of Mr. Williamson, at ShrewSbriry, it was clearly proved, on the examination of Mr. Finchett, who assumed to himself the merit Of advising his Worship, that if the young men who claimed, and had a right to, their freedom, had been admitted to vote, the majdrity would have been against Gen. Grosvenor, and that Sir John Grey Egerton Would, at this moment, and during the pre sent Parliament', havebeen the sitting Member for the City of Chester ! This point is now so indubitably established, that the most violent, and the least scrupulous, among the partizans of the Grosvenor interest, do not venture its contradiction. And is not this fact alone most galling to the friends of the worthy Baronet ? Does it riot likewise imply, a representative without right, and rights without a representative ?' In this transaction, the best interests of the City of Chester were sacrificed—most infamously sacrificed ; and the whole body of the English Electors, and their Members, grossly . insulted. Add to this, the large sums of money which have necessarily been expended in sustaining the petition to the House of Commons, in defence of the freemen's rights, and the expenses incurred in prosecut ing delinquency to conviction. These are some of the conse quences resulting from a dereliction of law and duty; but al though the purchase has been somewhat exorbitant, we trust the point obtained will lay a solid foundation for the future en tire emancipation of our fellow-citizens. In conclusion, we can assure them, that punishment is not likely to be the exclusive lot of the individual who stood as principal in the measure of March, 1820 ; it is intended Very early in the next session to offer such a representation on that subject as may reach some vrho haVe hitherto escaped correction. THE XING t. ROGERS, PRESENT MAYOR OF CIIESTER.— We stated in our fast that it was intended to move, during the present term, for a rule for a Quo Warranto against the present Mayor. Now we can confidently assure our readers, that Mr. Jervis has been retained for that purpose; and probably at the .me we write, this rule has been obtained. [From the London Gazette, Dec. I.] I, the Right Honourable Join.: Earl of ELDON, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, in pursuance of the power and authority given me in and by an Act of Parliament, passed in the first and second year of the reign of his present Majesty King George . the Fourth, intituled, " An Act to repeal so much of an Act of the fifth year of the reign of his late Majesty . King George the Second, relating to • Bankrupts, as requires the meetings under Commissions of Bankrupt to be holden in the Guildhall of the City of London, and for building offices in the said city for the meetings of the Com missioners, and for the more regular transactions of busi ness in Bankruptcy ;" whereby it was amongst other things enacted, that such part of the said Act of the fifth year of the reign of his said late Majesty, as requires - the meet ings under Commissioners of Bankrupts to be holden in the Guildhall of the City of London, should continue in force until the building intended to .be erected in Basinghall street, London aforesaid, should be completed, and notice of 'such building being ready for use, signed by the Lord High Chancellor, Lord Keeper, or Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal for the time being, should be inserted in the " Lon- don Gazette," therein fixing the time from which business should be transacted in such new building, and which building should be called " the Court of Commissioners. of Bank rupts ;" and it having been certified to me that such build ing is now ready for the use and accommodation of the public, I do hereby, in pursuance of the said Act, give notice, that froth and after the 14th day of December, 1821, all public meetings held under Commissioners of Bank rupt in London, or any place within the Bills of Mortality (as well those fixed by Commissioners of Bankrupts,. as also all meetings of Creditors under C omm i ssi ons of Bankrupt which shall a holden in pursuance of public advertisement), shall be holden within the said new' building, or " Court of Commis sioners of Bankrupts,'.' in Basinghall-street, in the City of London aforesaid, of which all persons concerned are to take notice.—Dated this 29th day of November, 1821. ELDON C.: Lord A.-T-lA3IILTON V. the PRINTER and PUBLISHER of the BEACON. —Yesterday this cause, which had excited a geed deal of interest, was &led before Lord PITMILLY, as Ordi nary in the Outer House for the week, when Lord A. Hamil ton!s Counsel moved that it should be remitted to the Jury Court. Mr. All Neill,_ as Counsel for Mr. Stevenson,: was heard at considerable 'length; and the Counsel for Lord A. Ilamilton having declined to reply, Lord Pitmilly found the action relevant, and , ?emitted the same to the Jury Court, before which we understand it will be tried in the course of the ensuing term.—(Edinburg b COurant, Dec. 1.) TJIE BISHOP OF DuniLtm.—By the last Re rrt of the Society for the Encouragement of Parochial Schools in the Diocese of Durham it appears, the Lord Bishop of Du RITAM has built seven School-Houses in different parts of Weardale, (towards the cost of which the London Lead Com pany have liberally contributed 4001.), in which more than .500 children are regularly taught. A permanent endowment of them has been given by the same munificent hand ; but in such a judicious manner, as may tend. rather to assist and sti mulate, than to supersede, the liberality of local contributors. His Lordship has also purchased the sites, and commenced the erection, of two Chapels in Weardale ; -where, in common with the other inhabitants of that district,_ the children of these schools will be enabled regularly to attend Divine Worship. One of these chapels, situated:within the chapelry of St. John's, will be endowed by the Bish o p ; the other will become a chapel of ease to the parish church of Stanhope. • s a t tici s a C S o o u l l i t ei o tO f r Ki in ng t 's he ße H „ ig h ll Court of Mr, John Lowrey, of North Shields, was last term admitted apnleaAst,toarnndeyEoxf Exchequer, and Common Chancery, laced under the ex c i se , . to preven t It is proposed in a Leeds paper, that the m anu f ac t ure a n d trade in rape oil should be P the too common practice of adulteration with fish oil, which spoils the cloth.

On Thursday night, the 22d, the house of Patrick Battigan, of Clonsheen, in the parish of Kilngefin, Barony of Ballintuhber, County of Ros- comaion, was forcibly entered by a banditti. As .e ow►►er of the house was preparing to resist Lem one of the party snapped a pistol, which fortunately missed fire. Ile gave up his gun, which was the only weapon he had in the house, and the banditti, after a fruitless search for more plunder of the same kind, retired.—(Dublin Cor respondent, Dee. 1.) We have - seen a letter from Newmarket, which describes the inhabitants of that place as being in a state of the utmost alarm. I t gives further particulars respecting Capt. - Waters. We are glad to find that his medical attendant does not 'consider the wound mortal. The miscreants who attacked Capt. Waters proceeded to a house in the neighbourhood, and took a horse from thence, then went to Mount O'Keeffe, and commanded Mr. O'Keeffe to saddle his horses' for them ; he having refused, they performed that office for themselves, and carried off the horses.—Most of the gentlemen who resided in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, have quitted their houses and taken lodgings in the town.—(Cork Advertiser.) The following is the verdict of the Jury on Scully, who was murdered near Kanturk : " That the said Jeremiah Scully was forcibly taken out of the house of Owen Daly, at Clon geel, in said county, on the morning of Tuesday, the 20th day of November, by an armed party of men ; and we find that the said Jeremiah Scully came by his death inconsequence of se veral gun-shot and other wounds, received by the hands of some person or persons unknown, one of which shots entered close to the right temple, and passing out at the back of the de ceased's head ; and further find that the body of the deceased was found on the high road near said Daly's house, and much burned on the left side, extending from the knees to the navel."— (Belfast Chronicle.) On Friday evening 7 the 23d instant, two men came into the public house of Patrick Keenan, situated between the demesnes of Sir Edward Bellew and Mr. M'Clintock, in the county of Louth : soon after their arrival, one of them fired a pistol at Keenan and shattered his arm. Some of the neighbourinc , farmers and labourers, on hearing the shot, rushed to the house, and imme diately seized the man who fired it, taking from him a pistol and a carbine ; and then brought him before Sir Edward Bellew—who having aken tlw, informations of the wounded man, and others, committed him to the gaol of Dundalk. The other ruffian made his escape, having left his hat and handkerchief behind him.—(Drogheda Journal.) At a meeting of the Magistrates and Gentle men of the Barony of Bunratty, held at New market-on-Fergus, on Monday the 26th instant, the Earl of Mount-Charles in the Chair, it was resolved unanimously to co-operate firmly and heartily in opposing the progress of the insurrec tion ; and a strong appeal was made to the tenantry of the Barony, on the propriety of their bringing in and delivering up their arms. From the spirit which has hitherto prevailed in this Barony, it is hoped that the. appeal will not he made in vain. It appears that on the night of Tuesday, a barn', containing au inconsiderable quantity of corn distrained for rent, was maliciously burned down, on the lands.of .Garryricken, part of the estate of the Earl: of Ormotide, in this county, and not far • distant from, Slievnaman mountain. The corn had been previously seized by a person named Shea, from' whoM a yOunger brother's fa mily held a•farm on the estate in question, but who, himself, owed an arrear of rent to Lord Ormonde.—\Ve have just learned, that a notice . . was sent within these few days, through our Post-office, to a persmi of the name of Blanch field, a tenant on the estate of Lord Clifden, not far from this city, commanding him to abandon some land, of which he had succeeded to the pos session, on the surrender of two previous occu pants. This lawless communication which was signed " Captain Rock," and" Lieutenant Star light," declared • that • the writers would treat Blanchfield " in• the same way that the Sheas were served," unless he gave up the land in ques tion within a week, and that, " if they did not succeed in that way,tlnl would 44 settle him and Marum together.":---(Kilkenny Moderator, No vember 30.) GuNPownEtt.--=We 'understand, that yester- 1' day, Edward Newsom, Esq. our worthy Chief Magistrate, received instructions from Govern ment on this subject, and Consequently called upon the different venders of this article,in Cork, and last evening • those gentlemen most readily handed over to the Mayor and Sheriffs whatever casks of gunpowder were in their possession, and the whole, 'shortly after, was most prudently lodged, under a proper military escort, in the King's Magazine. The tranquil and • prompt manner which Marked the whole transaction, without the least alarm to the inhabitants, re= fleets great credit on the Municipal Officers, the gentlemen venders, and the army. We should' however, suppose, that persons duly qualified will not be' prevented from buying gunpowder, for their protection, and for a proper use of it ; but we trust we shall not, in this part of the country, have the most distant occasion Tor its use, in any thing like disturbance; at the same ' time, we must applaud this well-judged precau tion.—(Carl:Mercantile Chronicle, Nov. 30.) On Sunday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, about 60 male convicts were removed from New gate to Woolwich in a large waggon provided for the purpose. When the waggon game into Blackfriar's-road, it was stopped by a gang of fellows, many of• them armed with sticks ; and it being apprehended that a rescue was intended, the Dragoons who escorted the waggon imme diately rode up in front of it with their drawn swords, and soon made these fellows retreat. The latter then said, they only intended to make presents to some of the convicts ) who were their friends. PRICE 0: THIS DAY AT T . Bank Stock 236 3 per Cent. Red. 76q 3 per Cent.

On a close inspection of the authenticate d accounts of outrages in Ireland, there is reason t° hope, that, desperate, wicked, indefatigable, and active, as the insurgents are, they are not so very numerous as might reasonably be presumed f►o"' the extent and magnitude of their atrocities. --- , They are numerous enough, however, for the per' petration of crimes at which the heart sickens.--- They are sufficiently numerous to strike terror into the inhabitants of the disturbed districts, and to bid defiance to any but the nine/ force of the State ; and the spirit of outrage , which originated in Limerick, is too evidently spreading With a rapidity, mhich, if not effec' tually and speedily checked, must swell the ranks of the banditti, and ultimately enable them, perhaps, to take the field in open dap- - Even within ten miles of Dublin, many house s and haggards have been burned down ; the detection and conviction of offenders seems to be almost impracticably, from the system of tcr; . or which the wretches have succeeded in establipb: ing, and which deters the sufferers from prose' cuting, and witnesses from giving evidence, le` 3 they should be sacrificed to the vengeance of those miscreants ‘vho have set every divine ali d human law at defiance. MEETING TO CONSIDER THE STATE OP 111 5.. LAND.—This day a meeting of the Gentlene 3 interested in the welfare of the Sister was held at. the Thatched House Tavern, St' James's-street, " to consider what are the bei t measures to adopt in the present disturbed state of Ireland."—The Meeting was advertised fo r twelve, and at one o'clock Lord DARNLEY wa' called to the Chair, when a series of Resolv tions were proposed, and also a Petition to th e , KING. After several Gentlemen had delivere u t their sentiments on the object of the Meeting It considerable length, the petition to his MAJEsTiI was carried unanimously. It is somewhat surprising that though The Morning Chronicle and The Old Times are oft° contending that talents, and not birth and con' flexions, should influence Government in the sr lection of persons for high official situations, they are both venting insinuations against the intro' duction of Mr. PEEL into place, because he can' not boast of the honour of a noble ancestry. I f talents were always hereditary, this arguine ot t might have considerable . weight, becaus e might imply that the talents of the fath er had been exerted for the advantage of th e State, and if the son possessed them in th e .same degree, he would be supposed to have 3'. additional stimulus to inherit the parental ref t ,li tation. But such arguments come with an grace from The Chronicle and The Times, ""`:, are professedly Whigs, (Jacobins would be better. term), and who have so often ridic ni t the pretensions of birth and rank to the 114ch e l Officers of Government, and maintained that .; preference ought always to he giVen to men known talents. As to Mr. PEEL, his powers of a.transcendant kind, and they have been sic nalizcd in tire most conspicuous manner in t situation of the utmost importance in the Si3t c v island. Without any temporizing policv, bat b l a firm support of principles calculated to rev, der the interests of Ireland consistent with 0: interests of the Empire, he has manifested t l ' o qualities of a Statesman of the first order, and evidently was it that his views had this high 0111 solid direction, that he was respected by , Parties in Ireland, - and was indeed one of most popular characters that ever held his tion in that country. 'The Protestants knew th' o he would never make any concession injuriotis,,tie the Religion of the Empire at large. Catholics were persuaded that, if he way l l ,3 not consent to any measure that might te' t to under Mine the foundation of a P ro testa l ,' o ascendancy, he would not lend himsel f 1 • 4 the least to a vexatious enforcement of 3"'.0. restrictions upon their religiouS faith, but ic 3s o liberal and 'exilightened"friend to a wise -and 53fo't toleration. In addition to all these pow er claims to the respect, , esteem, confiden 4 and gratitude of his 'Conntry, 'Mr. PEEL " 1 , rendered too independent by the indnstr'' ,prudence, rectitude, and wealth of his ve" o rable father, for the advantages of , 05 0 0 0 have any influerie on his conduct, exeol' t , to the .score of honourable ambition and employ his great powers in the service of t o Country. These observations have been from us • by the gross inconsistency or tbo to Journals which we have noticed, not . from ° t 4 mean impulse towards worshipping the risi te Sun; and we may fairly. .conclude with cot t 'of tulating the Country, hat while Lord Sfolne, t 'y retires to the enjoyment of that leisure whicilico may well deserve, after a long life of active ser tt i ii , in various situations, • all of Which lie has charged with honour to himself and•advantag e t ie his country, he will be succeede by a Ge li t man who conies forward with all the vig,
