FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 11ADR1D, Nov. 14. We continue in a state of alarm ; ignorant 'whether the Government will be able to restrain the factious. A Commission of the permanent assembly of the Cortes has been summoned to atte.ud a Council of Ministers, to advise upon means of averting the impending danger. A new band of partisans has appeared int he environs of Orense, in Gallicia. M. A bascal, Vice Consul of Spain, arrived from -Paris the day before yesterday, from whence he had-been dispatched as an extraordinary courier - by our Ambassador. Immediately after his ar rival, it was rumoured that he had brought intel ,ligence of the death of his Majesty Louis XVIII. .This gave so much joy to M. Chapuis, Editor of the Regulator journal, that, in his brutal exulta tion, he put forth a most outrageous and insult ing article, which far surpassed all his former efforts at invective. On this occasion the Autho rities were driven to the necessity of violating the famous Spanish Constitution. He was sent to prison, and his Paper stopped at the Post office. In the evening tumultuous groups assem- Iled in the streets ; the troops were called out, and received orders to load their arms. Nume rous detachments patrolled the capital through out the night. We appear upon the verge of . a dissolution of Our :Monarchy ; well informed persons say openly, . that not only Cadiz and all Andalusia, but the provinces of Valencia, Arragon, Catalonia, and Callicia, are on the point of separating from the capital, to form themselves into Federative Republics. Our Clubists of the Fontana d'Oro parade the streets by night, shouting, " Long live Riego, Emperor of the Spanish Republic ! " The Echo de Padilla, Journal of the Descami sados (sans-culottes), of this day, announces, that the real Revolution will take place in a mouth at the latest. This news may be premature, but it does great injury to the loan.—(Gaz. de France.). (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.) The audacity of the Clubists has no limits ; they are encouraged by the weakness of the Au thorities, and agitation is general. The .shock is at hand, and will scarcely be retarded a month longer, if a change in the present state of things dues not avert the catastrophe. A Journalist, after giving an account of the ezdo-da-fe, of the Universal, the Impartial, and the Censor Journals,inquires of his heroic friends, what will be done with the Editors after burning their productions ? It is affirmed that the Permanent Deputation of the Cortes, in accord with the Ministry, is about to adopt decisive measures to remedy pre sent circumstances. It appears also that the King has formally pronounced against the change of Ministers demanded by the people, as follows: " If Ministers be culpable, let their responsi bility be made the ground of their impeachment, and let them be tried ; if they be not, they ought tot continue at their post. Such is my win, enia, na,tkr4, from the prerogative granted me by the COnstittition, which I will observe; but I also require that it. be observed."—(Liem.) [EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] At nine o'clock yesterday evening, a throng assembled at the Puerto del Sol, and shouted in cessantly, " Down with the Ministers !" " Riego le: ever'!" The officer of the neighbouring post,beig'e'd them to retire, otherwise he should 40.1,;abliged to force them to disperse. One of the chiefs of the assembly answered, that their ittention was not to make a disturbance, but to burn some of the Anti-Constitutionals; amongst others the Universal. Shortly afterwards a rnus- Icet was discharged by some person of the Mob, an which the guards turned out, and surrounding them, took about thirty prisoners, amongst whom was a Lieut..-Colonel.—(Journal de Paris.) Nov. 17.—The Duke de Cadiz, the King's ne phew, and son of his Royal Highness Don Fran coiSe de Paule, and Donna Louisa Charlotte, of Naples, (sister of the Duchess de Berri), died on the 15th instant, at the royal residence of the Escurial. The intelligence was officially an nounced to the Cortes, during the sitting of yes terday, by the Minister of the Marine. The King, the Queen, and all the Royal Family, continue at the Escurial ; they enjoy excellent health. • Auo. 3.—The Honourable the Bonze of Policy met in Ordinary Session on Mon day last, the 30th July, when, we understand, his Excellency the Governor was pleased to lay before the Members the substance of a communi cation recently received by him from the Earl BATHURST, in relation to his Honour the Presi dent of the Court of Justice, intimating that his IMAICSTY'S Government, apprehending that there was no hope, under present circumstances, of the existing differences being accommodated, and that his Honour's further continuance in office would neither be advantageous to the public nor satisfactory to himself, his Lordship had sigri tied to Mr. Serjeant ROUGH that it was the plea sure of his MAJESTY to recall him. It is added, that Government not having it conveniently or immediately in their power to appoint a fit suc cessor to the office, left it to the direction of his Excellency so to act as the emergencies of the case might to him seem to demand. In excavating the ground in Micklegate, York, last week, for the purpose of making cellars to three new houses, some human► bones, and deep black mould, evidently constituted of ani ►onaa or vegetable decomposed matter, were dis covered: and a day or two after a sepulchral urn, in the most perfect state as to proportion, colour, and parts ; a few fragments of lacryrnatories, and several unquestionable Roman coins, were also dug up. It would appear that the great Roman road or street ran through Mickle gate, and that the present seat of the newly discovered bones is a portion of that extensive burying-place of the Romans, which* appears to commence north of the Biskophill, and to termi nate with the plain tumulus, which stands beyond the mount. The urn is of red clay, without Jetters, ornament, or embossure.—(Manchester 'braid.) * ECONONIY. TO JOHN BULL, ESQ. ONT:ST JOHN,—It is so long since you and I have had a little chat about the Rise and Pro gress of your RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES, that you have perhaps forgotten your old friend--but I have not forgotten you, JOHNNY, and shall have a little further confabulation with you on that subject pre sently : in the mean time, my good fellow, I wish to talk to you about the grand plan of ECONOMY, which your Whig friends are trying to make so much of. Now, JOHNNY, remember that every penny, 'drawn from you in taxes, is spent again at your own shop, or nearly so; and, therefore, it is not lost: besides, JOHNNY, you know, as Nvell as I can 'tell you, that a penny laid on by Par liament is always a good excuse for you to lay on two pence; so you have nut quite so much cause for grumbling. But even when taxes are taken off, it does not follow that your poorer children enjoy any benefit from t whatever. Do you rernember,JOHNNY, when he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, for the relief of the poorer classes, gave up THREE MILLIONS Of MALT TAX ? I dare say you do.-;-- Do you remember your beer becoming either cheaper or better in consequence ? I dare say you do not. Then what were you the better ? But you are told, my honest old friend, that even one hundred thousand, or even ten thou sand pounds, would be a monstrous saving ! Now, let us see! Let us suppose that Mr. HUME could .produce a decrease of Expenditure to the amount of five millions —now, JonsNY, here is a question for your little boy, who has just got through the Rule of Three, and is, perhaps, as good a financier as Mr. HUME :—" If three mil lions produce NOTHING, what will five millions produce ?" But what would that FIVE miwoNs-be-in the scale of taxes paid ? Taking our annual taxation at SIXTY MILLIONS, which is far within bounds, it would only amount to one twelfth,.or ONE PENNY in ONE SHILLING ! Then he who now pays TWELVE POUNDS of direct and indirect taxes would just save twenty shillings ! But I can shew you, JOHNNY, a much greater saving, and one more efficacious. You pay now, at least three pence more for each quartern loaf than you ought to do, if com bination and monopoly were checked ; so that if your scale of consumption is but two loaves per week, you are taxed annually by the baker and mealman sixpence per week, or ONE POUND SIX SHILT,INGS Per annum,—just six shillings more (supposing your annual taxes 121.) than you would save by a reduction of five millions in taxes ! Then your pot of porter is at least one halfpenny dearer than it ought to be, y all malt and hops ; and one halfpenny worse in quality than it ought to be ; or one penny per pot! Thtl4, JOHNNY, if you take but one pot per day, you are taxed by the brewer 365 pence per annum, or 7d. per week, or ONE POUND TEN SHIL LINGS AND FIVE-PENCE per annum; making a grand total of TWO POUNDS SIXTEEN SHILLINGS AND FIVE PENCE? Now, JOHNNY, ask any one of your children, who are working for one guinea, or thirty shillings per week, with a family to sup port, whether he would gain most by a reduction of taxes, which it yet remains to be proved could be dispensed with, or by a little fair play in bread and beer? The answer is not doubtful. Your's, IGNOTUS. FOR THE SUN. BREAD. MR:EDITOR.—You and your Correspondents have shewn us how we suffer by the monopoly of Mark-lane, and the impositions of the Baker ; but the question is, how to remedy the evil nothing more easy !—Let one hundred neigh bours, in any part of London, who are able and willing to subscribe 201. or 101. each, fora season, form a joint stock, and appoint a Committee, in cluding Trustees, Treasurer, monthly super visors, &c. Let them take a house, and put in an honest man, who knows his trade, with jour neymen, all of approved character. Supply the baker, after a good fitting up, with good flour, he engaging to furnish at least the estimate num ber of loaves per sack—and, if any loaves over, as there will be, their value to be suffered to ac cumulate for the baker's own eventual profit, but under controul.—Sell the quartern loaf to sub scribers twopence cheaper than bakers' price, which may now be done; and to non-subscribers at one penny less. At the end of every year, make a retur❑ of interest, and part of the prin cipal to each subscriber, the latter to be in pro portion to the number of loaves he has bought throughout the year, or perhaps at the end of every nine months a certain number of Free Tickets for quarteru loaves might be handed over to each subscriber, which would be a return of principal, and a❑ inducement to him to deal always at his own shop. If this were dried in one instance, it would soon be followed up, so as to attain the end in view ; but the plan ought to remain in action for at least five years; when every Society Baker, who had done his duty honestly, might be complimented with the Ba kery and its appurtenances, the original sub scribers being paid their principal and interest. Your's, I. G. N. FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS or more must be gained by somebody on Tuesday Week, and the fortunate Person will risk only Forty Shillings to gain a little fortune, besides having the chance of the Capitals that may be drawn that day from the present Rich Wheel. The risk of a Whole Ticket is only Two Pounds, Shares in the usual proportion. The Purchaser of a Sixteenth may take the chance of getting a large Prize and can not lose mere than Four Shillings. FOR THE SUN. GREAT SAVINGS. MR. EDITOR—What Savings ! Why Sir, we have saved in 'Soldiers until there are scarcely troops enough in Ireland to put down the Soss OF LIBERTY in one County Young Sheepfiice, and his friend Old Mau, in the North, says this is as it should be : and . it is supposed they will ask the Cross Knight, or the Knight of many crosses, to step over and drill the boys into a sort of Lousitanyard squad " Delightful task ! to teach the young Hibernian how to shoot t" But Bob does not like this, lest Lord NOIIBURY should have the laugh against him ; and he is very right, for it may be easier for him to raise a corps of pit-men in the neighbourhood of his friends, just to let them see how things are : leaving them to exclaim with I.troil RD, " Ave : this looks rebellion !" I R E I, A N D. QUOD. [From the Clonmel Herald.] CORONERS' INQUEST ON THE FAMILY OF SHEA. DUBLIN, Nov. 26.—1 t is with increased dis- I gust and horror that we revert to the shocking murder committed 'on Monday night last, at Tubber, a Subdenomination of Cloneen. Mr. THOMPSON, one of the Coroners, went off to the spot the moment he received intelligence of the horrid occurrence. On Wednesday he proceeded to inquire into the only fact which could then be brought into question, there not being a single soul left living out of the unfortu nate family, inmates, all of whom have been de voted as victims to the most savage atrocity that has disgraced this country within our memory — namely, whether the burning was malicious or not, and, consequently, whether murders had been committed on the bodies of Edmond Shea, Mary Shea, Edmond Shea the younger, Mary Shea the younger, Nicholas Shea the younger, William Shea, Margaret Shea, Michael Butler, Patrick Mullally, Michael Mullally, Catherine Mullally, Margaret Shea, Margaret Power, and three men, whose names are unknown, by the burning. Nicholas Shea, of Seven Acres, swore, that he was brother to the deceased, Edmond Shea ; that he knew the bodies of Edmond and Mary Shea, of Edmond Shea the younger, Mary the younger, Nicholas the younger, 'William and Margaret Shea. (These last five were infant children, from the age of ten years down to two; and what adds, if indeed any thing can add, to the black and insatiable bloodthirstiness of the incendiaries, is, that Mary Shea, the wife of Edmond, was within a few days of bringing alive into the world an infant, and which literally fell from her body while she was burning !) Nicholas Shea further swore, that he was called out of bed about mid night, between the 19th and 20th, by John But ler, w ho told him that his brother's house was on fire—that he went to the place, and found the house on fire, the root bavina fallen in—and saw the bodies of 16 persons, who had been burnt to death, taken out of the ruins, about nine o'clock on the morning of the 20th. William Williams, of Gurt Patrick, .swore, that on the night of the 19th, having got out of bed, to look after a pig, he saw Edmond Shea's house in flames ; that he went toward the house, but was afraid to approach near, in consequence of hearing several shots fired about the house ; a man, of the name of Philip Dillon, who was with him, fired a shot towards Shea's house (the place was so enveloped in smoke that they could not distinguish the persons outside) ; the shot was returned by two from the party surrounding the house, who shouted loud, and desired Dillon to come on if he dared, on which Williams and Dillon retired. This testimony was confirmed by Philip Dil lon himself; and tU Jury accordingly found, that the persons before mentioned, were wilfully and maliciously burned to death, by some persons unknown, by setting fire to the dwelling-house of Edmond Shea, on the night of the 19th of No vember instant. We understand that the following occurrences recently took place at Old Parish, in the county of Waterford. A few days ago, a respectable Gentleman distrained a tenant for rent, and placed a keeper to see that the tenant should give in the produce of the corn. Soon after wards, a party entered the house, beat the keeper severely, and carried off the grain. The Gentleman before mentioned, with his nephew, and five armed men, went and seized one of the persons accused. As they were conducting him to prison, they were assaulted with stones by a numerous party, who rescued the prisoner. The G entleman received a blow of a stone, his ne phew received thOe blows, and one of their at tendants was severely wounded in the head.- IValeVord Chronicle.) COUNTY KERRY. (From Mote's Western Herald.) On Tuesday night, though nine Magistrates and Major Wilcock had met at Elton that day, to consider the best means of tranquillizing that part of the county, the insurgents had the auda city to assemble in a large body and attack the house of Mark Lynch, of Bally fruta, for his arms, which for a long time he refused. Though repeated shots were fired into the house, he did not surrender until the house was actually on fire in two places. On Thursday night last a party of Major Wit cock's Police apprehended, near Glanduff, in this county, James Jourdan, charged with taking arms in the middle of the day, on the 11th inst., from Mr. George Sparling ; there were about two pounds of gunpowder found concealed in the house, being more than the apparent value of all the rest of his property. i s i n th e guard-house of Ratlike:lle, A person of the name o f Hurley , a native of Cappagh, transmitted by Major Warburton, charged with the murder of the late Mr. Going. It was apprehended la Galway. - * * • 4(11 • *-Ll-C4r•A''‘,„o.*: MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK. Montlay, December 3, Lospw,r, Nos. 5, 27, 39, 89, 21 8 , 223, 289. Coin. Boys' School, - at 7. COUNTRY.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1821. New . York Papers to the 3d Oct. arrived this morning. The following are Extracts :,-- [From the Daily _Advertiser.] Since the arrival of the ship Orion, yesterday afternoon, there has been a great deal of activity in our market ; heavy sales of flour have been made at from 7to 74 dollars. There has also been more activity in the cotton market, at prices which were heavy before her arrival. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. Loss of the ;ship Sea-Fox, Capt. WYER.—The ship Sea-Fox sailed from Sandy Hook on Satur day morning last, bound to Port-au-Prince, with a fine wind, and nothing material occurred until el::ren o'clock ovhen-sha wa4 L stro.c.3:.by ic - sittld"or squall and capsized.—Mr. DAWSON, one of the passengers, states, that the dead lights' not being in, the water rushed with great violence into the cabin windows, Which filled it instantly ; he im mediately seized his sister, Miss MATILbA DAwsoN, with whom he attempted to get on deck ; the water through the cabin windows forced them out of the companion way ; the strug gle was, so great, and the companion so very small, that his sister Sainted, and could not be got up. Capt. WYEIt, who was still in the cabin at the time she capsized, reached the deck, but was instantly swept overboard, and remained in the water near half an hour, when he providentially reached the ship again. The following are the names of the Passengers who were drowned in the cabin :—Lieut. EASTERBROOK, wife and two children; Mr. CHRISTIAN F. SPEYERS, of New York ; Mr. JONATHAN 0. WALKER, of Port-au- Prince ; Miss MATILDA DAWSON and servant, of New York ; and the cook and seven seamen were washed from the deck. The following were saved :—Capt. Ytil, LEWIS DAWSON, GEORGE DAWSON, WILLIAM REES, a coloured man, and four of the crew. In a Paper of the 27th October, there is a Proclamation from General JACKSON, in Pensa cola, dated the 29th September : (AnsTnAcT.)—lt makes known to the Spanish Officers to withdraw themselves, as they ought heretofore to have done, from the Floridas, agree ably to article 7, on or before the 3d of October next ; after which day, if they or any of them shall be found within the Floridas, all officers, civil and military, are required to arrest and se cure them, so that they may be brought before him, to be dealt with according to 'law. (Signed) ANDREW JACKSON, Governor Of the Ploridas. FROM PERNAMBUCO.—We have seen a letter from Pernambuco of the 23d ult. in which it is stated that the Revolutionists were at one time within 3 miles of the town, which they then might easily have taken, as their approach caused great consternation, and a large number of inhabitants deserted the place. Their indiscretion saved the town, of which the Governor took advantage, and fortified the parts assailable, as it is supposed the contest is now doubtful. Business was dull. There is a kind of Manifesto from General O'Doso.ru, in the American Papers ; on his tak ing leave of the South Americans, at the city of Cordova, dated the 19th August, on his return to Spain. In another part of our Paper, we have inserted from the Irish Journals a report of the Coroner's Inquest on the unfortunate family of the SHEAS. Either the interest excited by so frightful an event as the murder of this large family, is less intense in Ireland than in England, or the ar rangements of the Irish newspapers for satisfy ing the curiosity of the Public, are less perfect than they are in this country. Had a Coro ner's Inquest been held in any part of England, on so great a number of innocent victims to the demoniac passions of an insurrectionary peasantry, the London Journals would have been furnished by express with the parti culars, and would have had their columns filled with the horrible details. The account from the Clonmel Herald, of the Inquest in ques- Lion, is, as our Readers will see, exceedingly meagre and defective ; and we have been unable to glean any further particulars from the Irish papers, except that the three unnamed sufferers were Kerry labourers, hired by SHEA to dig his potatoes; and, that there was the perforation of a gun-shot wound through the elder Shea's body, entering at his chest, a circumstance which alone proves that the tragic event was the work of the nsurgents. The horror of this atrocious deed is not to be exaggerated. The ruffian perpetrators must be put down, and put down promptly, or no man in Ireland will be safe,—no man will have the power to exert his right of ownership in land, or to take their rents from his tenantry. At such a moment of alarm, it is a matter of some consolation that several persons have been ap• prehended through the activity of the police, 0 3 charges connected with the disturbances; and that the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland have promptly offered, by proclamation, a reward of twe thousand pounds for the discovery of the murderess of the SHEAS, with a free pardon to accomplices giving information. This large sum is offered in the proportions of three hundred pounds for each of the first five murderers convicted of the crime,—and of one hundred pounds to each Of the next five who shall be so convicted. We have not room for the details of fresh atrocities.— One of the most prominent is the murder, in his own house, within a mile and 3 half of Tralee, of Major Cocos, & Magistrates on Thursday night last. A. large party of the midnight villains enttr4-44Aitunfortunate Getz' ~• tleman's house, while he was _in Llovinfo: . penetrated to his bed-room, they told him th at he remained quiet he should not be molested' The high spirit of Major Cpws, however, w.W was a gallant veteran officer, and who had los t an arm in the service of his country: rejecte d such a•compromise, and springing•from his bed' he. seized a poker, and struck at one of the gang' The ruffians immediately attacked him ; and on e of them having struck him down with the butt end of a gun, they dispatched him by firing sevr, ral shots into his body. The house was. pl y tiered of many valuables, and of about dred pounds in silver money. The Magistracy of two Counties have publishej Resolutions, in which they express their cotr ic ' tion of the necessity for the re-enactment of O le. Insurrection Act. On this proceeding, the' 1 9 °' Correspondent,fin , though it does not dent t be necessity r.or dispute the expediency of resorti4 to this strong measure for the restoration of Va il ' quillity, very properly remarks, that, ".bef° re their requisition be complied with, Parlianlel' t may ask, what have . you done yourselves, Magistrates, to crush this rustic insurrectia°,l Have you vigilantly discharged the trust rePn se l in you as conservators of the public Pen ce' (lave you kept a steady eye fixed on - all the pre; fatory indications of turbulence, as they sheicee themselves upon the surface of things ? 1 13 s itl i you exhorted, have you menaced, have you, the wholesome tone of authority, advised or suaded, when the public mischief was in its cipient state ? Have you asserted the power °l ti , dignity of the while insurrection was • r oe vancing towards some maturity ? As a 1 3.- tive, why demand the application of such Act ? It is enough to grant it as a hard if medy, ellen no other has been found sufficient effective." 4 1/ We much fear that Parliament migh t li th e equal propriety ask nearly similar questions of Irish Government. \ while there we re o i dications of disturbance upon the surf ace c if things, while ther,l was an ineflicent Magis tr oo o and an insufficient police,—did that Gov ern suffer itself to be lulled into a fatal sectiriso ti? Why did It - reduce the military forc e o that are not now troops enough to d necessary duty in the disturbed districts ;an r did it permit the Insurrection Act and (Abe'.
