LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1821. The Marquis WELLESLEY, it is confidently said, leaves town on Wednesday for Ireland, in order to succeed Earl TALBOT in the Govern ment of country. Mr. GOULBURN, it is added, is to accompany the Marquis as the suc cessor to Mr. GRANT, Secretary to the Govern ment.—As the Marquis is known to be favour able to the Roman Catholic Claims, and Mr. GOULBURN to be adverse to them, the appoint ment of both may be considered as a measure of conciliation, since it is impossible to suppose, that unless there is a cordial understanding be tween the Marquis and Mr. GOCLBURN, upon the important subject in question, these appoint ments would have taken place. We have not room for the details of the out rages committed in Ireland, which are brought to US by every post. Besides, the enumeration O f a great number of attacks upon houses, for the p urpose of plundering arms, &c., though it w ould present a frightful state of society in the a ggregate, would consist of so many insulated events, most of them petty in themselves, and so nearly similar in their circumstances and results, that the perusal of them is far from being inte resting. We shall therefore briefly allude to such circumstances only as are most important in :themselves, or are best calculated to give our Reader s a correct idea of the situation of that distracted country. In the first place, however, we have the satis faction to state that armed associations, in aid of the Government, are forming in various quar ters,—that the Y eoma nry Corps are taking arms ' w ith alac r it y f or t h e restorat i on o f t ranqu illity,— that Government has resolved on calling out this valuable force throughout the country,—and that Public meetings, for devising measures of security, continue to be held in the disturbed districts. In the County of', Kerry, a Memorial to Govern ment, praying for the re-enactment of the Insur rection Act, is in course of signature , . In Dublin, a Meeting of the Officers of the Yeomanry Corps was held at the Castle on Thursday last, by de sire of the Lord Lieutenant, when it was resolved that the. City Yeomanry should be immediately In requisition. The gates of Dublin Castle h i een ordered to be closed every day at four o where making, and, in short, from the movements every er e "making, Ireland.. we are sorry to say, 1 , wear s the appearance of a country in open re ef lion ja order that the persons in custody ) charged ; T ill hein ous o ff ences i n th e di s t ur b e d p ar ts o f 71 " south ern coun ti es) may b e b roug ht t o j us ti ce s peedily as possible, the necessary precepts 'were issued oil Wednesday, for a Special Com -ssi°u to sit in the City of Limerick, on the 15th C i ,-i st• Th e J u d ges name d i n th e C o mmission are, Ju stices of the King's Bench, DALY, JEBB, and 13 tayrox ; of the Common'Pleas, Judges JOHN' SOv and Moortc, and Mr. Baron M'CLELLAND.

The assassination of Captain WATEns is con 4irrued. The wetness of the night, on which this atrocity was perpetrated, by rendering the fire arms of the banditti mostly useless, probably saved several lives, as some other Gentlemen, it appears, were attacked. On Friday night the miscreants set fire to the Parish Church of Knockane, near Killarney. It Was totally consumed. The Churchwardens had Previously been threatened with the loss of life, °I• property, if they did not desist from collect ing the Church cess. On Tuesday night a party o ruffians broke into the house of a respectable f armer, and after demanding arms, tore from him hiS daughter, and carried her off! It is said that inocklofty, the s ea t o f the Earl of Donoughmore, has been attacked, and plundered of a quantity o f arms. Amongst the notices which the insur gents give to such perscYns as are obnoxious to them, one . has been sent to the brother of the kb nfortunate SHEA, requiring him also to abandon Possessiou of his lands. We are rejoiced to learn by letters received in town this morning, that most of the great Landholders in the County of Cork are now , on their estates, and that the Magistracy of that ex tensive and powerful county, which is in general truly respectable, have adopted the best mea sures for securing the tranquillity of their several districts, and that from the well-known energy and vigilance of Mr. HARE, M.P. for the County, Colonel BArtar, the High Sheriff, Lord AYLM ER, and the other Gentlemen of the County, as well as the l oya l ty and good d ispos i t i on o f th e grea t b ody of the Yeomanry, no apprehensions are en tertained of the spirit of outrage and insubordi nation which now unhappily prevails to so alarm lug a degree in some parts of Ireland extending over the County cf Cork. Four days' French Papers to Thursday last inclusive have arrived since our last. The most important intelligence in these Papers is the re- Port of the speech a the Minister of Finance, in Presenting th e Bud, et on Tuesday last, which We have given at length under the head of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The successes of the Greeks over the Tttrks is mentioned in several of the articles from Ger many and Austrian Italy ; and a letter from Marseilles says, that the French corvette La hey rette, which left the neighbourhood of Athens on the i2th of October, is arrived at Toulon, and reports that the Turkish fleet had been defeated with the loss of fourteen ships. It is added, that a Turkish ship of the line, which was on fire, had taken refuge in the port of Zante, where the crew attempted to land, but were driven back by the Greeks of that island. The English gar rison then sent assistance to the Turks, in conse quence of which a conflict ensued between the Greeks and the English, in which three of the latter were killed, and the commanding officer of the party wounded. This report, as far as regards the contest between the Greeks of Zante and the English garrison, is confirmed by the following communication from Corfu, which ap peared in the Moniteur of Wednesday:-- CORFU; OCT: 20. The official Gazette of the United States of the lonian Isles contains the following Resolution, adopted by the Senate on the Kith of that month : It appearing from the Report of the Regent of Zante, dated the 16th instant, thaton the lath and following days, there took place in the Island perfidious and highly seditious and infamous conduct on the part of several inhabitants of that Island against apart of the troops of his Majesty, destined to support the guardians of health, and to maintain the principles of neutrality, which have been formally promulgated, which has determined • the said Regent anti the Resident to _proclaim martial law in certain villages, by virtue of an Act of Parliament of the sth of April, 1821, it has been resolved as follows : Art. 1. Martial law proclaimed ,by the Local Constitutional authority, conformably to the said Act, is approved, and ex tended to the whole island. Ali the Local Civil Authorities shun cease their functions frohi the day of the date of this promulgation. • 3. His Excellency- the Lord High Commissioner shall be expressly prayed to take, under these circumstances, every other measure of punishment and precaution that he may deem expedient. 4. This Resolution shall be printed, and expedited to whom ever the execution of it' appertains. (Signed) 'IL I'HEOTOKY, SIDNEY G. OSBORNE, Secretary. Approved by T. 31AITLAND. Letters from Petersburgh state that the Em peror ALEXANDER still insists on obtaining the cession of Moldavia and Walachia, and. the pos session of three fortresses in the Morea, as gua rantees for the execution of that part of Ote_pro posed treaty, which shall relate to the Greeks. Baron de STROGO.Norr is in high favour' with the EMPEROR, and, it is said, is to be appointed to the War Department. By. accounts from Constantinople we learn that serious differences have arisen between the Grand Visier and the Captain. Paella, which it is thought will lead to a change of Mi nistry : the former is. for peace, and the latter for - war. Hostilities are also said to +lave commenced between the Turks and Per sians, in which the latter were victorious, and were on the point of entering Bagdad. This circumstance will prevent the Asiatic troops from coming into Europe; and on the 21st of October the Porte is represented to have sent thirty per sons to the different provinces of Turkey in Asia, to raise levies to act against the Persians.- Ap - - prehensions are entertained of a general revolt in Servia. Spanish Papers to the 16th ult. have also ar rived, extracts from which are given in a pre ceding column. It is stated in a private letter from Madrid of that date, contained in one of the French Journals, that new changes were expected in, the Spanish Ministry, and that PIZARRO would be Minister of Foreign Affairs. The capital and provinces were more tranquil. A letter from Dr. PARISET at Barcelona dated the 17th ult. states the number of deaths in that city to be diminishing. On the preceding day only thirty-nine died. Since writing the above, we have received the French Papers of Friday. An article from Frank fort, of the 24th ult., states that a private letter from Italy, of the 17th, makes mention of a bul letin published by the Senate of Calamatta, in the Morea, not only on the powerful diversion made by the Persian Army, and o❑ the approach ing assistance of Russia, but also on the victories gained by the Greek fleets. fly a letter from Corfu, of the 26th Oct. it appears that a General Congress of the Greeks will shortly assetnble in the Peloponnesus, to consider and proclaim a definitive form of government for Greece. The affairs of the Greeks in every part of the Morea and the adjoining provinces are represented as most favourable; and according to another article from Frankfort it is affirmed that the Turkish troops continue to march across the Danube, and that apart of the reinforcements destined to act against the Greeks have been detached towards that river, which, if correct, will enable the latter to proceed in their successful career. Accounts from Madrid of 'the 19th ult. state that Addresses arrive from all quarters to the KING against the Ministers : that from Madrid was presented by General QuittoGA, and those from Murcia and Valencia are conceived in much the same terms as the addresses from Cadiz, Seville, and other towns in Andalusia. A conspiracy of an anti-constitutional tendency has been disco vered at Alhavine, in the province of Malaga, at the moment it was ready to break out. The Cortes have decreed that cod-fish cotton and cocoa, coming from the Spanish possessions, are to be imported in Spanish ships alone. From Lisbon we learn that a decree of the Cortes passed on the 19th ult., annulling the pro motion of the 24th of June last, made on board the ship the D. Juan IV., in consequence Of which decree, several General Officers who ac companied the KING in his voyage to the Brazils, and returned with him to Portugal, have been cashiered. The abolition of the land-tax occupied the attention of the Cortes on the 10th, as well as a plan of law for the organization of the new legions of the army.—On the 12th, the 97th Article of the Constitution passed, which designates the legislative and other powers be longing to the Cortes. New York Papers arrived . this morning lo the 11th Nov. They bring Caraccas Gazettes to the 19th Oct., also accounts that Lord Com- RANE's squadron has entered the Port of Callao, and that an expedition is fitting out with the English troops in Caraccas; about 300 and 200 Creoles were to embark on board two vessels of war and three transports On the sth October, but their destination was tint known, but supposed bound to Panama, where they will receive a re inforcement of 1500 or 9.000 men, and perhaps be commanded by BOLiVAft iri person. The Caraccas Gazettes of the 16th Oct., con tain the arrest of General MIRABAL, supposed for treacherous conduct, who was shot in escap ing from prison by a Patriot sentinel. He was a Royalist General. A vessel has arrived at Liverpool from Lisbon, after a very short passage. She states that the long-expected packet left the Tagus on the 18th ult. Unfortunately, this vessel has i 'brought no papers and her letters chiefly relate to business ; but among them is a statement of the new orga nization of the corps diplomatiqzte, with which we were favoured last night, and we hasten to lay it before our readers.

VISCOUNT Stnmotrrif:—This Nobleman, we understand, has long been desirous of relinquish ing the fatigues of office, for the enjoyment of domestic tranquillity, and therefore his resigna tion may be depended on as one of the most au thentic of the reported Ministerial Changes. — Those who really know his Lordship's character will heartily wish that happiness may attend his retreat, though they must regret that the country will lose an able, intelligent, and faithful servant. The Duke of MONTROSE has resigned his situa tion as Master of the Horse, and - accepted the office of Lord Chamberlain, the Marquis of HERT FORD having resigned. His Grace, on Saturday last, made known the change to his household domestics. The Duke of DORSET, it is said, will succeed the Duke of MONTROSE as Master of the Horse.—(Morning Herald.) THE TRUE BRITON.-On an officer's proceed- ing (on Saturday) to put into execution a war rant, (granted at Bow-street Office), he found the premises closely barricadoed, and a notice to this effect over a hole in the office-door--" The True Briton of this day will be published through a hole in the window ;" under which a wag who was passing wrote—" The Proprietors of this Paper are at lngth enabled to see through their error."—( Morning Chronicle.) The True Briton, in consequence of the dis turbance, was on Saturday published with only three pages. We understand that Lord KENYON is minus above 6,0001. expended in eighteen months.—(ll/orning Herald.) The improvements making In the rivers, quays, and harbour of Cork are highly credit able to the Gentlemen who have been appointed Commissioners under the Ballast Act for that City. By Private Letters, received this morning from Liverpool, we learn that the gale has been very severely felt on shore ; a great number of Chimnies have been thrown down, and several lives lost ; but the extent of the damage cannot yet be accurately ascertained. An English Colonel has been sent for express by Sir Trios. 'MAITLAND. The Officer was on fur lough till the Bth of April. On Friday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK transacted business at his Office in the Horse Guards, as Commander-in-Chief. llis Royal Highness did not hold a Levee, but his Secretary, Sir R. TAYLOR, did, and transacted business with nearly fifty Gentlemen. On Satur day hig Royal Highness again transacted business at his Office. On his Royal Highness's return to York House in the afternoon, he was there met by his beloved sister, the Princess SOPHIA, to take leave of her Royal Brother previous to his leaving town. Soon after two o'clock yester day morning the Duke of YORK left town on a visit to the Right lion. Rom:at PEEL, at his seat of Lulworth Castle, Dorsetshire, near 'Wey mouth, where his Royal Highness is expected to remain between two and three weeks, to enjoy the sport of shooting, &c. A letter has been received from Lord COCH RANE, dated from the capital of Peru, in which he states, that all his wishes in that part of the world have been accomplished. With regard to his future intentions, nothing is mentioned in this communication ; but it seems to be the opi nion of several of his Lordship's friends in Lon don, that he will remain in Lima until the Inde pendent Government shall have been completely established, and afterwards return to this coun try. Private letters from several Englishmen who entered Lima with Lord COCHRANE, men tion that a very large quantity of specie and other valuables had fallen into the hands of the Inde pendents. This latter intelligence is probably inaccurate. The safety of the place has been so long threatened,the inhabitants unfriendly to the captors had full notice and time to remove their treasure. Letters from Malta state the sailing from thence of the Adventure sloop of war, Captain W. H. SMYTH for Tripoli. Captain SMYTH has under his charge some field-pieces, with all their equipments, and several other valuable articles for his Highness the Bey of Tatrou, as an ac knowledgement for the attention he spewed to the mission, under the late Mr. R,ITCHIE, for-dis coveries in the interior of Africa. After Captain SMYTH has delivered these articles, he proceeds to an examination and survey of the African coast from thence to the eastward, the whole of which is scarcely known.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-On Thursday last, at half past eleven o'clock, the marriage of the Earl of WILToN and Lady MARY STANLEY, daughter of the Earl of DERBY, took place at Huyton Church, near Knowsley Park, the resi dence of the bride's noble father. The cere mony was performed by the Rev. James Ilornhy, Rector of Winwick, in the presence of the prin cipal representatives of the illustrious houses of Derby and Grosvenor; and at two o'clock the happy pair set off for Heaton llouse, near Man chester, the seat of the Earl of Wilton. The bells of Huyton, of Prescot, Preston, and 'all the adjoining churches, rung joyful peals during the day ; and at noon the bells of Chester Cathedral, follovied by those of the other churches, an ❑ounced the happy event in that city.—This marriage is singularly felicitous : it arose out of an affection mutually conceived by the parties, divested of any domestic or political feeling whatever. May they experience all the bliss this world affords! The Earl of Wilton is in his 22d year, his Countess in her 2 st . —The bridal dress worn by Lady Mary Stanley, now Countess of Wilton, was of very elegant Brussels lace, beautifully trimmed with costly lace pf the same description, worn over rich white satin, and a superb Brussels veil to correspond. The bride's whole appearance was interesting and beautiful in the extreme. EDWARD STANLEY, Esq. of Ponsonby Hall, will in a few days lead to the Hymeneal Altar, the rich and accomplished Miss DouGLAs, the niece of the Learned Lord Bishop of Ll.A.tillAry; after the ceremony the happy pair will imme diately set otr for the bridegroom's beautiful seat in Cumberland. THE THEATRE.—The Play of Two Gentlemen of Verona was followed, on Saturday last, at Covent-Garden Theatre, by a new Afterpiece, entitled The two Pages of Frederick the. Great. It is an amusing trifle in itself, and was so well supported by FARREN, as Frederick, and Mrs. CHATTERLEY and Miss FooTE in the two Pages, as to secure a favourable reception. _ ~ --t' .4 •";r , - c -.• • ~_ 1 , . . 1 , tj ~ -...' .' .• C ''' - -,- 1 : ' - ' - - . r `!.!'` -2 -'•:7= l • . ; -41 r 4 ' .
