IN'ITI,I4IG ENCE. ,---- COPENHAqEM, DEC. B. W e continue to Te• r6ve further accounts of the damage done on our .cOII7IS by. the late storms. Many ships have been ttranded, many lost their anchors and cables, and . othr,rs perished. It is remarkable that in many places where these hurricanes have raged, they - were accompanied with violent thunder-storms. 'The number of ships a,nd vessels lost in the Bal tic and the Cattegat, during these storms, is es tirpWil V a hundred.. =Winter has now set in, with frost and snow, and the navigation is proba bly over [Or this year. As Danish subjects some times snffered losses from the circumstance that in foreign countries there is a forum . arresti, by which the foreign creditors of a bankrupt here get themselves paid out of the property, effects, or elaims',.which the bankrupt may have abroad, and as this-was not the case here, a Decree dated 30th ult. has been issued, giving Danish subjects the same right against the property of foreigners which may be in Denmark, in similar cases.

As a testimony of the favour with which his Majesty honours this Minister, he has be stowed various honours and rewards on the gen tleman in question. ODESSA, Nov. 16.—Two ships have arrived from Constantinople, but brought no news. Within these three days much wheat has been :bought and • hastily .shipped, because we fear that the exportation of it will soon be prohi bited. CONSTANTINOPI.r, OCT. 27.—We are very well aware here what situation we shall be in zr ith respect to the importation of grain, even from Egypt, to say nothing of Odessa, and the actual state of Moldavia and Wallachia, in case war should ensue; and that at the first cannon fired by Russia, lye should be as if in a besieged city, as far as regards the first necessary of life— Peace is held out to the people, and it is really wished for, but without doing any thing effectual to preserve it ; for woe to the Minister who should venture to recommend the evacuation of the two Principalities, which is very naturally the sine qua non of Russia. Whenever a ship appears from Odessa, the greatest joy prevails. The newsmongers, too, always contrive to receive by it some consolatory letter. Lately they had sent Baron Strogonoff to Siberia ; M. Franchini to A3trachan, &c. Such are the imaginations of people who consider the murder of the sacred Synod as a trifling mis take ! But the Divan knows how matters stand. many very prudent great men had sent their ha rems to Brussa (to take the baths !) ; others in tended to send them much further into Asia, when the unlucky incursion of the Persians came in the way. _ _ FROM THE EMs, DEC. 6.---On the representa tion of the Cabinet Ministry, his Majesty has heeh pleased to approve of the erection of a Bank is East Friesland, and the necessary funds are al ready formed for their establishment, which will be of the greatest importance to the merchants, land-owners, &c. of this province. ALLEGED REPUBLICANISM IN SPAIN. Inhabitants of Galicia!—The enemies of the Constitutional System, in the paroxysm of their impotent rage, had already exhansted every ar tifice in their power. Neither the reports that religion was in danger, spread only to excite pious minds ; nor those of the.coming of foreign armies, intended to strike terror in the cowardly ; tior of the King's want of freedom, conjured up' merely to delude our own people and other nations ; nor the disorganising projects of Merino ; nor the attempts of other ridicu lous defenders of a faith, which no one attacks ; nor so many and such varied projects, disconcert ed at different points, through the vigilance of . the local Authorities, and particularly in this heroic province, by the strong hand of the last 'civil Magistrate, who well may be proud of •hav ing restored trancinillity in the preceding May— nothing, in short, has produced the effect desired. What, then, was left for them to do ? To credit the first supporters of the Constitution, to render them objects of suspiciOn, even to its friends; in a word, to represent them as the Chiefs of a Republic of which they neVer dreamt, in order-that, thus -undermined to its very foun dgtions, the beautiful edifice of our' liberties might irremediably be brought to ,the ground. Disgraceful means! Infamous -impostures ! Yet of such, if I have.nOw to address you, it is when I see you• nearly undeceived yourselves. Listen to me, InhabitantS of Galicia!—Tongues which deserved to be plucked o•ut, ,pens' wielded by handS, which deserved to be cut off, have re presented,rne as implicated in plans of republi canism, and, possibly they extended their ve mernous influence to the very Throne ; perchance persons are not wanting .who can assert that they heard from the, mouth of his Majesty," Mina is a Republican.". But Mina'', satisfied with regard to his own proceedings, and relying on the testi mony of . hisow,n, innocence, would have deemed it a degradation..to answer ,charges from which he considered .fiimself so free ;' he never took a step under an. ilea of the kind Mina fearlessly followed the path..in : which.he long-ago began to tread. Yes, this, Ifollowed, because I was cer .tain, in any,eventhate,yer,. that. I could con found my .rivals, as well as put them to shame. Nevertheless, my indispensable duty of remit.; thxg to the Government n . subversive Proclama , tion, which, in fact, alluded to Republicanism, airorded me an opportunity. of stating to the Minister of Stale my opinion on this Subject, which I did by letter of the 14th July. Its perusal alone would at once have manifested to the King what were my sentiments. In that dispatch I expressed myself in the pure and frank language characteristic of me ; not in that of dread, servility, or adulation, to which I am altogether• a stranger. And what other could I have used ? Was it not I who, in 1814, formed the project of undeceiving the King ? Was it it not I who in the same year for the first time attempted the re-establishment of the Constitution, which would have been rea lized, if so great an enterprise had not been re served for more fortunate hands ? Was I not, destitute of all hopes, persecuted and beset on all sides, compelled to abandon my home and my country, and seek safety in a foreign land ? Did I not there weep over the evils of Spain, for the last seven years, and spend my days and nights in meditating on the means of saving her Did I not, as soon as the first cries of Constitu tion and Cortes were raised in Andalusia, in 1820, by the immortal Quiroga and Riego, fly to the assistance of these heroes, and, over coming obstacles and disregarding dangers, did I not present myself in Navarre and there re-echoed the same cries ? Did I not swear to our sacred Code ? Did I not make numberless protestations to the King, to the Cortes, to the nation, to the whole of Europe, that this and no other was the object of all my wishes, and that for this and this alone, I would sacrifice a thou sand lives if I had them ? How then,by Contrary projects, could I becothe a traitor to my own principles, false to my oaths, or in the least con tradict what I had said ? Let this be reserved for men of another kind; I esteem too much the cha racter of firm and invariable, which I flatter my self I have acquired. Republic, indeed ! and where was this chimera to have been realized ? Was it in Corunna, where the people are essentially Constitutional—the country that saw a great number of its children banished—that beheld others drag out a miser able existence in horrible dungeons, and at length saw the memorable, but unfortunate, Porlier ex pire on a scaffold ? With an army, decidedly in favour of the present Institutions, the second that rose up in their support, and composed of men who have always the memory of the illustrious Acevedo before their eyes—with a national mi litia, the first established in Spain, one that boasts so many enlightened Patriots among its number—what an absurdity must the bare idea of such a project appear to the reflectin! , mind ? Citizens !—Foiled, like the rest, this grand discovery of the existence of a Republican fac tion ; not hearing any one of you speak of such a scheme but with disgust, or the public papers name it, unless to treat it with that contempt it deserves, no doubt the authors will ere long in vent another stratagem to carry on the war against a system they abhor. Let us be on our guard. Union, soldiers and civilians, of all classes. Constitution is our watch-word; .this is the anchor of our hopes—this alone will save and make us happy; because it se cures to us the religion of our forefathers-- it places our King firm on his throne, and it gua rantees to us all the enjoyment of that just and rational liberty with which we are born.— Again and again, I repeat it, a Constitution is our aim ; it was framed for the eternal glory of this heroic nation, and as an example that some day or other will be followed by the rest. Do not doubt it. Let us persecute to death all its enemies, be they whom they may, and whatever the disguise under which they pre sent themselves, or place in which we find them ; and since in Spain Constitution is synonimous with country, religion, and King, let us exclaim to our latest breath, Long live the Constitution! <Signed) FRANCISCO ESPOZ V MINA.

The last question at issue between the Arch deacon of Dortsur, Dr. ENGLAND, and the R rc- TOR of Wyxr, and WEVMOUTIf, has, at length, been determined in favour of the Parochial Cler gy, as will be seen by the following authentic account of the proceedings The long-pending suit, instituted on articles by Charles Friend, of Wyke Regis, in the Conn ty of Dorset, against the Rector and Church wardens of the same parish, to show cause why he, the said Charles Friend, should not obtain a faculty for a pew in the gallery of their Church, came to a final hearing before the Consistory Court at Bland ford, on Saturday the 2 Ith ult.,when the Rev. Francis Simpson, the Judge, determined not to grant the faculty, as it was against the consent of the Minister and Churchwardens, and contrary to the wishes of the great majority of the inhabitants ; and directed that the plaintiff, Friend, should take nothing by his proceedings. This case had been virtually determined within the last six months, in the same Court, in favour of the defendants, in the matter of Mantield, who applied for a faculty to a seat in his Parish Church at Dorchester, when tire Judge refused to grant it, and stated the grounds of his refusal to be, that " without the previous consent of the Minister and Churchwardens, no faculty ought to be granted." The issue of this suit, of the greatest con sequence to parochial Clergy, has excited considerable interest throughout the Diocese of Bristol, and is the last of the three im portant rights of the officiating Ministers, which had been attacked, and attempted to be in vaded, by one of the Churchwardens of the parish, and the Archdeacon of the diocese ; but which have been so ably and so successfully de fended by the Rector of Wyke Regis and Wey mouth ; to whose exertions, in defence of their just rights and privileges, the Clergy in general are much indebted. The Churchwarden- claimed the custody, and took possession, of the only key of the Church, for which, upon his ,refusal to give it up to the Rector, he was libelled in the Spiritual Court ; but on the day appointed for trial he confessed the articles, and paid the costs of the suit. The Archdeacon, Dr. England, mistaking himself for the Ordinary, in matters which it has since been proved did not in the least concern him, inter fered, and, at the instance of the Churchwarden, dictated the manner in which the sacrament money was to be distributed ; and without send ing any previous notice of his intention to the Rector, visited his Church, and personally gave away certain pews and sittings in it to the said Churchwarden and his family, against the con sent of the Minister, and the wishes of a great majority of the parishioners. Those three valuable objects, the possession of the key, the distribution of the sacrament money, and the right of assigning pews, being now ob tained, and the points in controversy legally settled, it is earnestly hoped that all angry feel ings may be succeeded by a spirit of love and true Christian charity. rabobo (formerly Colonel English's British Le gion) in the decisive battle at Carabobo, on the THE LATE Da.

LIMERICK, DEC. 17, 1821.—The whole of this day was occupied with the trial of John M c Namara and Thomas "Molly, for the murder of Mrs. ToartANcr.. The Jury was composed of persons of the most respectable description, men of high consideration in the county, most of them being Magistrates ; and, after the examination of 13 witnesses, whose testimony formed as strong a chain of evidence as ever yet was exhibited in .a Court of Justice, the Jury retired, and, having deliberated about five minutes, they returned into Court, and delivered their verdict of Guilty, against both the prisoners.—The two Judges sat together; the sentence was pronounced by Baron M'Cr.r.t.r.ANn, in a manner peculiarly impressive and edifying. lie never recollected so horrid a murder, so clear a case, and such a body of evidence, so ably brought before the Court.— The Learned Judge was so affected, in passing sentence, that his utterance was stopped for several minutes. After the sentence was passed, which appointed the culprits - to suffer death on Wednesday (this day), the prisoner, 111‘Namara, exclaimed, " we could expect nothing else from the county of Limerick bloodhounds." On his way from the dock to the gaol —says one of our Correspondents—McNamara called out to the crowd, " never mind boys, there's enough of us yef." The case for the Crown was stated by the SOLICITOR. GLNERAL. It appeared that Mrs. Toun.tscE was murdered on the 10th of June last, in consequence of the resistance made by her and her husband, to a party de manding arms at their house, in the Liberties of Limerick, on the Sth of March last. Mr. O'GORMAN was Counsel for the pri. soners. The Court was crowded during the trial. [From the Cork Intelligencer of Tuesday.] Yesterday evening a roan named Matthew Connel was brought into this city, from the neighbourhood of Kanturk, under a strong escort of the 22d regiment, charged with taking a gun, the property of John Boyce, Esq. Ile was com mitter by George Purcell and William Allen, Esqrs. two active Magistrates of this county. We have unquestionable authority for stating, that several of those nocturnal depredators who have infested the neighbourhood of Charleville, and the borders of the county, adjoining the county of Limerick, have been arrested and lodged in the Bridewell at Charleville. We can not say more on the subject at present, but shall in our next give further particulars. We regret to be obliged to state, that, not withstanding the Resolutions entered into by the Magistracy and Gentry of West Muskerry, in Macroom, on Thursday last, and the favourable report given there of the peaceable state of that part of the county, the spirit of disaffection has began to make its appearance. On Saturday night, about thirty gentlemen, in and from the neighbourhood of Macroom, well armed, patroled the country some miles round, and met with no interruption—yet, on the same night, a party of marandet's were on the alert, and attacked diffe rent houses, some of them within two miles of Macroom, and succeeded in taking arms. This infringement on the quiet of this hitherto peaceable district has roused the activity of the Magistrates and Gentry, and they commenced yesterday a general search for arms indiscrimi nately ; with what effect we have not yet heard ; but, from the local knowledge and general una nimity which prevails there, we have no doubt but those laudable endeavours will be crowned with success. There are no troops quartered in Macroom, though there is a large military force in this county ; but the necessity for them in those parts more immediately disturbed, and the very heavy duty they have to perform, induces the supposition that few, if any, can be spared. Letter from the Neighbourhood of Castleder mott.—" Some days ago there was a riot in Cas tledermott of a very serious aspect, but fortu nately put a stop to by the sudden arrival of a body of one hundred police, horse and foot. We have every reason to hope that the security of this district will be kept up by the great at tention and activity of our Chief Magistrate, who has apprehended and committed to Athy gaol a man charged with having murdered his uncle some months back in the county of Kilkenny, and another, supposed to be one of the murderers of Lieutenant Laurence in th'e Queen's county. All within this district is well watched, but be yond its borders, I understand, there are fre quent nocturnal meetings." We hear that his Grace the Lord Primate re-: - . . fused to grant a Faculty to the Rev. Archdeacon Langrishe, to hold the- Union of Carlow and Killeshin, with his present Benefice of New castle ; in consequence of which he has been obliged to give up Carlow, and retain only Kil• leshin. Thus, after being united for two hun dred years, these contiguous Benefices are di vided. We hear that Mr. George V. Vernon is to be appointed to Carlow.—(Cartozo Morning - Post.) THE YEONTANRY. Tha Balbriggan corps of Yeomanry, under the command of Captain G.A. Hamilton, which have at all times been ready to come forward•and -offer their services to Government; have, on the pre.. sent occasion, volunteered to serve wherever they may be required. COUNEI: OF TYRONE.—The Tyrone carps of Yeomanry, commanded by Captain Hamilton, Brown Hall, have gallantly volunteered to extend their services to any part of Ireland, in the event of their being required by Government. it is but justice to add, .that_this . loyal corps have at all times- been 'amongst the' foremost to tender their services, wh en required, to defend the va luable laws of their country. On Wednesday last, the 12th instant, the Glen•-: dermott Yeomanry, _commanded by William A she, Esq. of Ashbrook, unanimously volunteered--, - their services to any part of the kingdom where Government might find it necessary to employ them.—This corps, at the last quarterly inspec tion, subscribed each man a day's pay to%sards. the National Testimonial.--(Londonderu Papei:.)

[From the Dublin Patriot of Tuesday.] THE KING. - The - corporation of Dublin have this day unanimously voted an Address to his MAJESTY, on his arrival from Hanover. THE LORD LIEUTENANT.-ADDRESS OF THE PORATION TO Ills EXCELLENCY. In all probability, ere we are put to press, we-. shall be favoured with a copy of the Address of . the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Corpo• ration, of the City of Dublin, to his Excellency - the Lord Lieutenant, on the approaching termi- • nation of his just, temperate, and efficient admi nistration of the Vice Regal Government of Ire land. The Address will convey to the Earl Talbot an expression of the general regret, a demonstration of the public gratitude felt by the whole community, on the occasion of this deeply painful separation. The conduct of the Corporation reflects honour on the characteristic feeling of the country, and their example will, we doubt not, be followed by the other Corpo rate Bodies of the Kingdom. They perform a great act of duty, which they owe:to themselves, not less than to the illustrious object towards whom they discharge it. Lord Talbot r etires from our country, accompanied by the approba tion of all good men, after• a zealous and equita ble performance of the arduous duties of his high office, to which he may be considered as having been appointed by two successive Sovereigns. The Address to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant from the Corporation of Dublin, has passed unanimously. The Members who pre pared the Address were— Sir Abraham Bradley King, Alderman Darley, Alderman Exshaw, Alderman Cash, S:r Robert Shaw, with five of the • Commons. The Address will be presented, when engrossed, to his Ex-, cellency, by the Corporation at large. Several Addresses from the country to his Excellency .are in progress to be presented. We have been just favoured with the following by a Correspondent :—" On Sunday night last, a numerous body of armed men went to the house of a farmer, near Garretstown, of the name of Carberry, and obliged him to give up his arms, iwhich 'was only one gun.) They were going off, after having received it, when, unfortunately, Carberry's son appeared at one of the win dows, when he was instantly fired at by some of the party, and received two wounds, one in the neck, and one in the arm ; but it is hoped neither of them are dangerous. On the same night, a farmer of the name of Rooney, and several others in the same neighbourhood, were attacked and deprived of their arms. A young man, who escaped from one of the houses, and was making his way to Ashford to give in formation to the police, was discovered and pur sued by four of the party, and fired at several times, but fortunately escaped. Several of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Ardfinnan and Castle-oliver have been deprived of their arms."---(Evening Paper.) On the 21th instant s a man of the name of The Marquis Wellesley is said to be the first . Irishman who has been placed at the head of the Government of Ireland for a century and a half the last Irish Lord Lieutenant being the Duke of Ormond. NVe are enabled to state another interesting fact connected with the Noble Mar quis's appointment. He has chosen for his pri-. vate Secretary an Irishman and a, Catholic. This gentleman is a Mr. Blake, a barrister, at present possessed of a very respectable and In- crative practice at the English bar; Mr. Blake, we believe, will accompany the Marquis Welles= ley to Ireland.—(Dublin /Wining Post.) • We can now state, we believe, as a fact, that , Mr. PlunWt does succeed the Attorney-Gene ral, and that he will only hold the place until - the retirement of Lord Eldon, who, it is supposed, will resign the Great Seal of England after the next Session of Par l Jameni, w s neti Mr country man will be made Lord High • Chancellor; tire first of his countrymen, we believe, Isho joyed that high dignity. It is said that Mr. Saurin will succeed Lord Norbury in the Corn mon Pleas.—(Dublin Evening Post.) PERSIAN GuLrit.—lt appears that Sultan bon Sugger, the Joassamee Chief, who formerly re sided at Sharga, but is now at Itas-ul-Khyma, is urging the Prince of Shiraz to insist upon the English withdrawing from their newly settled position at Kishme, and not to permit our keeping troops in any part of the Persia❑ Gulf.— He offers, it seems, to undertake the complete subjugation of all the piratical adventurers, by removing from his present position on the Ara bian side over to ',hip, on the Persian side of the Gulf, if the Prince will assist him there with a body of Persians to be under his command. It is thought, says our correspondent, highly pro bable, that the Persians will he tempted by this bait to admit the Arab adventurer, 41.tb r e.T. would rather have the Joassamees or any one else near them than the English : for whenever they speak of our conquests in India, they compare them with our new settlements on their shores, and insist that we have no object in form ing them but to possess ourselves of a portion of their territory, and gradually' perhaps of their whole country.—(cat,
