Crum Garde'', fee Tragedy of Piz. t irro was brought forward last night at this Theatre in a very Magnificent style, and indeed with stick splendour and beauty bf Scenery and Dresses as Will most probably give it renewed attradion with the admirers of porup.and chew. The parts:of — Rallis and.

The character of Niarre was allotted to toOttE, -who delivered the first speech without any apparent indisposition, but who soon after was taken suddenly ill, and unable to proceed. The Audience consider. ing this illness as the cad of inebriation ) testified their. displeasure very strongly, and he withdrew from the stage. The tumult was so great that it was thought ne. cessary to drop the curtain. After this disturbance had continued some time with repeated demands of 4n apology, ,CLAREMONT came to address the Audi. once, but was not suffered to speak, and Mr. Kett. LE at length came forward in consequence of a call for the Manager. It was, however, difficult to allay the storm and obtain a patient hearing. When' he procured a silent attention, he informed the Audience that Mr. COOKE was too much indisposed to he able to resume his part that evening. He was interrupted in his Addtess by many persons who Said, that they supposed CoottE.was drink. Mr. Ker4nt.is positively declared that 'this was not the eise ; and that as Mr. COOKS was really too ill to appear, Mr. 1 - 1, St 000tla would undertake to'.per. form the pat with the assihtance of the honk.

To. ?Ii E Court met at twelve oclock, at which pre. sided the lion. Baron GEORGE and the lion. Mr. Justice OBORNE. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the Hon. 113 ton GEORGE addressed them to the ,following k Wed " Gentlerum of the Grand juty,' " A Special Commission has - been - issued to try persons accused of the atrocious crime of High Treason---and this Commission has been direaed to the County of Down, some persons having been ac cused of that crime in this County. Commissions of this sort have not been issued but on extraordinary occasions, and upon the strongest grounds. Not withstanding ,this Commission has been issued into your County to investigate the greatest crime known in society, it ought not to be considered as any disgrace to the County, or to the Magistracy of the County. This is a very populous County, and in a part of the Kingdom of the Most extensive poi u. lation, it is not to be wondered at that many foolish and weak men (to say no worse of them) were to be found—‘even•Traitors and Rebels—the leaders among whom, no doubt, -were enabled to acquire a considerable number of followers. as weak anti wicked as themselves. Gentlemen, I trust that tl*: Commission will biof the greatest benefit to the good and loyal part of this County.. The Commission has been granted through. the peculiar care of the Government of this Kingdom- , —a Government which always. has, and ever will,Continue, to exercise its rights for the ge. neral proteaton of the loyal Inhabitants of this Kingdom, who ate all equally entitled to the pro. teftion of the Government of the Country in which they live. " Gentlemen, I trust that this Commission will spew to those men who have been, or May be wickedly inclined, that the sword of the . ,law will be too strong for them—that the Government of this Country is too powerful for them to contend against, anti ttat if those weak deluded men Should endeavour to set themselves above the jaws of their country, such an. effort will ensure their own disgrace. They are mistaken if they think it is a popular Rebellion—it is no such thing. There is not one rebel who has already suffered the just punishment Aloe to his crimes, whose execution has not been entirely io the satisfaaion of the inha. bitants of Ireland; who are thankful that the justice of their country has overtaken them; nor, have we seen in any publication any attempt made to vindi. cote the late WiCkta and contemptible Rebellion; nor is there a single individual who • will not ac knowledge that those rebels who have,been tried and convitied, and who have. suffered. the execu. tion of the law ! , have justly deserved the punish. ment infiEled on their crimes • and, the poor de luded men Who have already suffered, have indeed experienced, that Justice has not been slow in the apprehension and prosecution of such persons as have merited the epithet of Traitors to their Country. Gentlemen, give me leave 'to observe to you, that the principle, , which a4thated. some misin formed and enthusiastic men to join the Rebellion of 1798, and the ground that induced a contemptuous rising of a few men of the lower orders of society in 1803, were totally different from the principles of those who took a part in the Rebellion of, 1.793+ It must he in the tecollettion of every ,Gentle. man who hears me, ,that when the Revolution. of France took place, Flake was previously governed by an absolute Monatchythe throne was invaded, and a new form of government was, by , means of a revolution, and a cruel slaughter of the first charaaers in Prance, introduced; the event hai shewn that that Country is• now under the most abjed despotisM and anarchy. The completion of the plan , to overturn the Monarchy of France, although, it was an absolute onc, has terminated in the introduainn of a system of despotism, anarchy and davety. [Here . the Learned Baron described, in glowing terms, the oppressions nn. der which :the people of France at present groan, and' contrasted them with the blessings which the inhabitants of the United 'Kingdom enjoy ; t he blessings of living under , the wise, judi cious, and humane Constitution and Laws, we have the privilege of living tinder.]' " For," said the Learned Baron, 4 ' the' adoption of French principles in this Kingdom, in the year 1798, scares as a kind of plague. In that period an infa. tuation, like a 'kind of phrenzy, did take place in the minds of many men in this Kingdom ; it was a novel system, and on account of ; its nove l ty was ' probably adopted by many men, without inqu iring what Might be the consequences that would i naturally result front their espousing such a system. Many men were unquestionably seduced by this artificer, machinations, and false pretensions of the leaders, , to take an a4tive part in the Rebellion. of 1798, w ho would otherwise have continued loyal subjects to their King, industrious citizens, and respeaable inetnbers of the community., II Gentlemen, .-it must be acknowledged, that in Many parts of this lilingtiomAllowarices should oaf rurally be made where men of the lower orders of society. were made *hello" and became the easy instruments of sedation to own of more, enlarged understanding. Tluistiptalatu in the Rebellion of 1798, prevailed over As natural good. sense of many unfortunate men to join in that Rebellion, and many unquestionably engaged in it, merely on ac count 'of the novelty of the principles adopted by the French, without any'. investigation into the per. nitiout tendency of the inundation -a thuicro ciples, which have since been found so dostrative to the happiness, the prosperity, and the welfare of Ireland. Many unfortunate ignorant men, who' were not possessed of sufficient education to know. the pernicious effefis of a-Republican form of Go vernment, anti whit did not know, that instead of giving liberty to mankind sttsd promoting the hap, piness of society, thq would have the dire& con.. -trary tendency, were induced, by the influence anti artful seduclions of their leaden, to throw of their allegiance, and to join in the itebeiliOn of 'R9 B . Beyond all controversy, many men did, in 1798, join in the Rebellion. t i . .- s aletrstilo • a new tioc.' trine ; they were led into that Re n a not coma. dering,o44ereclcp, telit vrtivilycloiesign. lug leaders intended to carry their plans. Bat v was the avowed purpose - of that Rebellion ?It was no less than to Oferturn antPdtattoy thei La tvr , antl Constitution of this Realrn,'eortildel.::ti`ab it is 'wit!: Englund. There is no man who knows, that does not admire the British I ..7..::.institution:' 'Every Inigtl of sense must know, that it is the greatest hapril,ess to live under it , and yet, srranbr as it tn.ty.Se:rn,. malty men were bo Infatuated %Oh the idea of novelty, that they were ready to sacrifice the blvs ings they enjoyed, atA, under the idea of imaginary al,d ideal benefits, to risk the encountering of on. known dangers. ig Gentlemen, when the People of the Province of Ulster, in 1798, heard of the perniciou, consc• quences resulting from the it,trodation of a Re. publican form of Government in France—a system ruinous in the extreme, and must ever he attended with the same baneful effeas, in Wil . attVPi country, t has been, or may be attempted to be introduced —they retutned to their allegiance. Now, Gen. !men,' let me call your attention to this fatt, that he Government of France, although Monarchical, was a happy Government to. the'reople, ,compared with what has now- taken place. What, Gentle men, has the Revolution, produced ? 'An arbitrary System of Despotism•--It has produced that spirit of acobinism which has enslaved that Country. Where is the man that does not shudder, when he reads the accounts of the may 'atrocities that have Oeen committed in France in the time of Jacobi. nism ; when he the, accounts of the people there groaning . under the weight" cif military des. potism ? And yet 'there have been 'persons so de praved as to represent to the people of'thster, that the irittoduflion of French principles would pro. mote the happiness of its inhabitants. ' But to their honour be it spoken, many persons, endowed with the greatest degree of understanding, and who, having coolly and deliberately investigated the she. aloof; pretences held out in order to introduce a Republican form of Government into Ireland, aban doned the projeCts of a few designing men to enslave this country; such persons of the County of Down re.. turned to their, Joyalty and allegiance to their King; anti from that, titne'have been the avowed and the zealous supporters of the Laws and the Constitution . of this Realm. • They have since strenuously clis. claimed every idea of a Republican form of Go. vernment being introduced into Ireland 1 they would not agree to it in any shape, as they at lase saw the mischievous consequences that would un. dquestionably result to their Country by the intro. utlion and adoption of such alarm of Government into this Kingdom. " Gentlemen,. in 'the Rebellion of 1798, then the period of the Administration of Earl CAMDEN, a Nobleman possessed with the gredtest degree of wisdom in the 'measures then adopted I AMA to the zeal of. his adherence to justice, th e e: to promote the peace, the prosperity, and the real welfare of Ireland, united every sentiment of humanity and mercy to those poor deluded creatures who. had been, by the artifices of their unlit incipled .leaders seduced into the. Rebellion, the wise measures adopt. ad by Government at that period was . to prosecute many of the leaders-; but at the same time extended its mercy to not alew, - who had been Sedated by those leaders to take up arms in that insurreltion. —ln the trials of persons during the Rebellion of 1798, it appeared that many persons had • been led to join in that Rebellion through error, and bad ad. vice. The artifices made use of by the leaders to de. o th e the poor deluded wretches, who became their tools, it is not necessary for me to repeat to:you on the present occasion: But, Gentlemen, in the course o f a few years, when this Country was pacified; , the face of things mended for the better in every part of the realm—she nation increasing in prosperity--- every order and condition of men in society rendered as happy as possible for the inhabitants of any coon. try upon the face of the earth to be; when the im provements in this Country were - increased—the exports anti imports of Ireland rapidly increasing— when the manufactures were encouraged and pro. owned in consequence of the return at Peace—when good order in society, and the general prosperity of Ireband . went hand in hand; as, the consequences na. turally flowing from living under ottr wise anti humane Government ; when prosperity extended itself to every part of the nation ; when this Coun. try, in point of trade,. was enabled to ituprove. the benefits arising from its - natural' advantages, and the industry o inhabitants ; 'when nothing was wanting - to L ptoniote . the , happioess .and •' the wealth of the People :---At that crists•a-sahente was set on foot by softie obsenre and contemptuous persons, who called themselves the 'Provisional. Govetn. meet. • Their 'progress marked that they were. on. der the impulsoof , a Foreign. Power to promote a Rebellion in this realm. Thii Rebellion burst out on a sudden. - Their avowed design was • to over. turn the Constiottioo and the Government of this Country; but this scheme of theirs was so conceal. ; ed, that their declarations held forth that the hap. pines: of the - p eople was to he gained by their join. ' log in the Rebellion!. " Gentlemen, in the whole history of the world and of 'mankind, there never was such a tissue of madness, of artifices, 'and of' infatuatioto—Many of those rebels have been apprehended, and were afterwards tried and convieted in a Courts of Jos. dee in the metropolis of this knight . It haobeen clearly proved upon these oectiStortS, ' that the ate.. hellion sprung out of the individual ,plueozy of one, Young Man, who was a rash incoesttieretventhtl.. - siast—be was one of the *Others of the' Provi.O sional Government, from the Proclamation .of which it aPpvirt, that het Freon was to expeCt any mercy who opposed th e m. Many persons were' at the. head of that community. There .was'a depth of arms in Dublin - , containing a collation of the. moat hips... it Wearobl that ever were invented for the destruc. non of mankind. 'Out of this deyZtt, on rise night 'of the z3d ofluly lest, about 3 or 460 men sallied, with a design tit overturn Cite Goverment of the • Country. They were to fall promiseuonsly on their fellonocitizens, and _trader every perioo who came ' in - their way ; but they were fortunately stopped •in their mad career, anti totally routed by a small parry of the Army, consisting only of between So end - zoo men.

". Now, Gentlemen, under these circumstances it will appear to be the r,iett, that a very considerable quantity of arms and ammunition was found on ce,,led in a dep4t in Thomas-simet ; it is maieriai to sic,e this bet, in order that you may perceive the ditiereoce between the two Rebellions. in 1794 there was a Conspiracy to-levy War. in,1803, the InsurreEtion and Rebellion did actually take place in Dublin. By the .1,3 W of the Land every person tak., g s part in a Rebellion or Conspiracy, is equally guilty. Persons though in the Country, yet it they a ded and astiited to carry into txecption the plans of the Conspirators in Dublin, are equally guilty. Therefore persons in the Country, whoitttually ed and assisted in the Rebellion in Dublin, in July last, are equally guilty ai those wl , o were immedi_ ately in Dublin, as they joined in an insurre4lion to levy .Wat within this Realm, y Every conspira, tor, in point of Law, is equally guilty with A, principal ; therefore, Gentlemen, if it sthall appeag to you that the men taken in this County of ,Dowfi .. were aiding, assisting, and abetting in. tile Agbel lion in Dublin on. the z3d July last, they,;iire equally guilty—every, person who in this ,Cpunry. promoted that Rebellion are all equally guilty,. .

On the night of Tuesday the 27th of September, a most horrible and sanguinary murder was commit, tact on the body of ANTHONY O'REILLY ) Lg. of Benison Lodge, Co. Westmeath. It appears,- that on that night Mr. O'Reiccy went to his bed chamber window, and opened the shutter (which W:l4 a usual custom with him) to observe the state of the weather; the moment he approached the windoW, he exclaimed, « Oh l" and. on the instant he was fired upon by some villain, who lodg ed the contents of the fatal piece (it is supposed a blunderbuss) in the side of his neck, and he instant. ly expired. It is thought the murderer must be some person who had been,recently in habits of itgereourtke with the house,:, and well acquainted with Mr, O'REILLY 's practice of looking out of his bed4harn bar window, as the watchdogs did net give the least notice of a stranger being in the demesne, which is a circumstance very unusual, and the villain must have placed himself in readiness near the spot, to perpe. trate the horrid deed.
