'23.] • The new Commandant-General of the pro vince.of Seville has not been suffered long to re tain his situation. A. report having got into cir culation on the 15th instant, that he had received a dispatch from the capital by express, the mob insisted on the contents being communicated to them, but as he positively refused to accede to their de.nand, and ordered them to be fired Jpon by his Guard, the Town Council, at the request, it is said, of the inhabitants and Local Militia, invited him to give up the command with a view to the preservation of the peace of the city, and for his own security, and accordingly on the next morning, at half-past one, he resigned in favour of Camp Marshal Barcenas.—ln the course of the day this officer issued a Pro clamation, in which he expressed his satisfaction at the speedy restoration of order which he wit nessed, at the resolution with which the people had asserted, 3nd at the energy with which the Town Council,had guaranteed, their imprescript il,le rights. Government, who, in consequence of the submission of• that province, and of that of `Cadiz, trusted that tranquillity would be of longer duration, had two•days before •directed the Com tnandant-General of Granada to disband the Regiments of Militia which had been called out during the disturbances. irtELAND.—The outrages, particularly in the County of Limerick, continue unabated. By our accounts this morning, it appears that a man, Whom the peasantry suspected to be an informer, has been murdered on the Mallow Road. Eight or ten houses have been burned down, including the Glebe House of the Rectory of Killeady. Plantations of yowl.; trees have been taken up For pike handles. Numerous houses have been attacked and plundered ; and large parties of the insurgents have been seen in various quarters on the hills. The following notice was posted outside _Adore Chapel, on Saturday night, and was taken down by one of the 3d Light Dragoons.—(Dablin Correspondent, Feb. 15) : " General Rock, Commanding-in-Chief the Army of Ire land, being desirous of organising, with as little delay as pos sible, an adniinistrative power for the province of the county of. Cork, directs as follows :-Ist. That every individual from the Ze of 16 to 40 inclusive, is required in the name of th e I r i s h epublic, instantly to repair to the Rebel Camp, in order to /oar& in mass against the common enemy, the tyrant of Ire land—the English, whose destruction' alone can insure the in deliendenceand the welfare of the ancient Hibernia. (Signed) " The General Commanding-in-Chief the Army of Ireland, JOHN ROCK, K.C.B. " AU to march to McCroom or Mallow with speed, the fate of the Palatines will be the fate of all who shall stay a tonic these bad times.". SI R ROBERT WILSON.—The following passage respecti n g this Gentleman appeared yesterday in John Bull: Having seen (with a glance of his eye) the KING'S troops l'epuised, he finds the K NO'S troops tiring. What does he !let ?—He goes up to them, and says,—(according to the rlstes)—" This is disgraceful ; recollect the people are your fellow-subjects: you are the soldiers of 'NAT ERLOO ; don't 4 11441 a few stones." This is vastly amiable, and very nice ; hut since we saw, at KEN3INuToN, that he had the power over the mob to in duce them to remove a waggon, as dear to them at the mo taent as their lives, we are rather surprised that, instead of i nterfering with the soldiers, who could not (as be ought to have known) have cared one straw about him, furbished out 41 he was with his black coat and Prussian star, he bad not AqAtV used his PROVED, TRIED influence upon the mob, Over he had a command; and when be saw them pelting the . 14 !litary, (which he did see, by saying to the troops " Never unnd a'rew stones,") address them in the same words which he applied to the Life Guards:— cc " People, this is disgraceful ; remember these soldi ers are your fellow-subjects THEY are the SOLDERS OF WA l'Eltioo; do nut degrade 'yourselves by pelting them." bid he do so ?—NO ! ! ! •No!—so pleased was Mn. WiLSON with the novelty of corn. ntanding His MAJESTY'S troops for the first time in his :ife, t hat instead of marching, and counter-marching the mob, he `,!tlers MAJOR OAKES to " bring off his men, without expo them through the defile of King street." IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SUSSEX ROADS.—A most ,Nspectable Meeting has lately been held at Mid nurst, of the Nobility, Gentry, and persons in terested in property in that neighbourhood, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of improving the public roads, and remov ing that very dangerous and inconvenient part of the road between Midhurst and Hasletnere, tailed Henley Hill, which, it is to be regretted, has been so long allowed to impede the progress tf every kind of conveyance. Lord ROBERT ' ) PENCER and Mr. POYNTS took a very active Part, and nearly a thousand pounds were sub scribed towards the objects of the Meeting ; and t he latter Gentleman, who is Lord of the Manor, With a liberality the most praiseworthy, and a desire to promote the public convenience, which Meets the highest credit upon him, offered gra tuitously to give up any part of his property for the formation of a new road, to avoid the hill in 90estion. This liberal offer was of course ac ,?'pted, and a line of road through his estate has been marked out, and the proposed improve tnents are in considerable progress. Two o'clock.—We stop the press to announce, that authentic intelligence has this day reached Glasgow, that the important fortress of Callao, 1 1l Peru, has fallen into the• hands of the Inde l'endents.—(Gkagow Courier, Feb. 14.) Mr. PLUNKETT has been re-elected to repre sent the University of Dublin in Parliament. Yesterday Divine Service was performed by i the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG to the King's House ?old, at the Palace in Pall-mall.—Saturday even ing the Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEO - honoured the Italian Opera with their pre sence. Captain CLIFFORD, of the Euryalus frigate, tinder orders for the Mediterranean station, has Published an address to his constituents, the electors of Dungarvan,that he has formed a reso lution to retire from Parliament while engaged in the active duties of his profession. IRELAND. In this county, not far from Bandon, a very large quantity of young Ash trees, fit for pike handles, were taken out of the plantations of W. Cornwall, Esq. of Nelson-place, on Sunday night ; and on Friday night from those of Mr. Dawson, on the lands of Brinny.—(Cork Advertiser.) We understand that the utmost alarm pre vails in Mallow ; that parties of Whiteboys are frequently seen,on the neighbouring hills.• The shopkeepers of that town have had much to do for some short time past, in consequence of great numbers of the country people purchasing ar ticles of small price, and paying for them in Bank notes, apparently with the view of obtain ing silver in exchange for the Bank notes. Dur ing the year 1798, this was a common practice.— (Ibid.) Our Correspondent in Macroom, to whom we were indebted for such correct and valuable in formation, states, that the vicinity of that town remains tranquil ; great exertions continue to be made to induce such of the deluded peasantry as retain arms, to deliver them to the Magistrates ; we have heard they have been partially success ful, and that the Rev. 111 r. Horgan has sent in within a day or two, some arms forwarded to him in the parish of Clondrohid.—(Coi•lc Mercantile Chronicle.) MURPHY in Replevin against SMITH and THOMAS Esq., Chamberlain of Cork. This important question, after being argued at considerable length during the last Nlichaelmits and Hillary Terms in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, was at length disposed of on Monday last, judgment having then being unanimously - given for the defendants. —(Cork Mercantile Chronicle.) THE ARMY. Major STORY'S company of royal artillery, with Major DUNDAS, embarked on Thursday on board the Pilot transport, for the Cape of Good Hope. The 78th Highlanders have marched from Dublin. The last division marched on Wednes day. The 78th Highlanders are to be stationed in Limerick. On Wednesday two companies of the 77th regiment marched into Edinburgh Castle from Glasgow. Previous to the 44th leaving A thlone, they gave a grand • ball to their commandhrg officer, Colonel Morrisson, C. 13. as a mark of their re spect and esteem : the ball was attended: by all the respectable families in the neighbourhood ; the rooms were tastefully decorated, a transpa rency at each end : one was the temple of Vic tory, with the badges of the regiment—Hope was conducting Minerva to it ; on tier shield was " Chryslas Farm, 11th Nov. 1813." This latter alludes to the place where the Colonel so gal lantly distinguished himself at the head of the 89th in Canada. ROYAL NAVY, &c. Arrived at Portsmouth, on Saturday, the Intrepid transport, Lieut. Pritchard, agent, front the Cape of Good Hope, which place she left on the 15th December, with part of the 72d regi ment on board, and a few invalids from the 38th and 54th regi ments. The 72d regiment has been at the Cape from the time of its capture, 16 years since; most of the men would willingly have remained and settled. The remainder of the regiment is coming home in the Alfred and Borodino transports. The Hyperion frigate, Captain Lillicrap, had arrived at the Cape with the Governor, Lord Charles Somerset. The late acting Governor, General Sir IL Donkin, is returned to England in the intrepid. The Hyperion was to remain in command of the station (having the i%lenai, Heron, and Cygnet, under orders) until the arrival of Commodore Nourse, from England, in the Andromache, when the Hyperion would go on to India. The Glasgow frigate, Captain B. C. Doyle, had touched at the Cape, having had two months passage, and, after remaining three days, proceeded on to Ceylon, to land the Honourable Sir Edward Paget, G.C. B. the new Governor. A Dutch East Indianian was wrecked at Robin Island (Cape), early in Dezember, but the crew and great part of the cargo were saved. The 38th regiment, Col. Sir C. Campbell, was preparing to embark for India, without waiting to be relieved by the 49th regiment, now on the passage for that purpose. The settlers at port Elizabeth (Algoa Bay) had again been dis appointed by a partial failure of their second crop of wheat. Their neighbours, the Caffres, had not, as was apprehended, recently offered them any annoyance, but, on the contrary, a good understanding prevailed with them. A new li g ht-h ouse was erecting at the Cape, on one of the points of Table Bay, which was nearly finished ; another is ordered to be built at Port Elizabeth. The marine establishment at the island of Ascension is doing well. ' His Excellency W. R. Hamilton, Esq. and family, were ex pected yesterday at Portsmouth, to embark in the Euryalus frigate, Captain Clifford, C.B. for Naples. The Euryalus will sail immediately afterward, should the weather be moderate. On Monday his Majesty's ship Leven, Capt. W. F. Owen, accompanied by the Baracouta, Captain Cutfield, sailed on a voyage of discovery and survey, in which services th e y w ill b e engaged three or four years, exploring the south-east coast of Africa and the islands adjacent. Captain J. C. Searle, R.N. who has many years filled the civil of;I:e of Chairman of the Victualling Board, has retired from that situation, and been promoted to the rank of Rear- Admiral, with the same advantages of rank as lie would have enjoyed had he obtained it by his seniority standing on the list of Post-Captains.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) Captain Sir H. Heathcote is appointed to the Spencer, 74, vice- Sir Thomas Lavie, deceased ; Captain Charles Richard son, C. B. to the Topaze, vice Lumley, deceased ; Captain A. L. Corry, of the Satellite, is promoted to the rank of Post- Captain, and appointed to the Leander, the flag-ship of Sir Henry Blackwood; the Hon. Captain John nous, and Lieut. Edward Webb, arc appointed to the Hind ; Lieutenant W. It. Proby to the Queen Charlotte. Leiters froniJamai -a, dated Port Royal, December 20, state that the Nautilus, 18. Captain Isham Chapman, and the Par thian, 18, Captain 't. Lloyd, were to sail shortly for Eng land. The Athol had ailed for Porto Bello and Carthagena (where the Tribune a' 1 Sybille were), the Tamar for Vera Cruz, the Tyne for Campeachy, the Bustard for Barbadoes, to ' join the Pyramus. The Tribune had been the most sickly ship on the station. The oldest inhabitants of Jamaica had been particularly sickly this season. The Board for victualling the Navy is to be new modelled, for which purpose a patent is now passing the great seal, and the whole routine of the office is to undergo a revision, particu larly in the examination, and passing the accounts, of Pursers. The number of clerks in this office is considerably reduced, up wards of thirty having been discharged during the last week, some of whom, it is said, will be allowed small pensions. The whole of the Preventive Water-guard, for suppressing smuggling, is transferred from the direction of the Treasury to the Admiralty, and the office of Comptroller, &c., abolished. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 11.—The Lords of the Treasury have extended the same privileges to this port for the bonding of goods, as is possessed by Liverpool, Bristol, Hull, and Fal mouth. The ship General Palmer, Capt. Truscott, R.N., bound to Madras, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, to embark pas sengers. She is detained by contrary winds. Ships at Spithead—Euryalus and Scout. Ships in harbour (fitting)—Salisbury, Liffey, Andromache, Owen Glendower, Active, Ranger, Hind, Fly, Driver, Grass hopper, and Shamrock. Capt. Richardson, of his Majesty's ship Leander, has taken the command, pro tempore, of the Topaze, and Capt. Corry, of the Satellite, is promoted into the Leander ; Capt. French, of the Sophie, is to take the Samarang to Trincomalee ; and Mr. Shears, Acting Purser of the Topaze, is appointed Secretary to Rear-Admiral the lion. Sir H. Blackwood, Bart. K.C.B. The works which have been carrying on at Sheerness for a considerable time past have re ceived a check by discharging a considerable number of men, but from what cause is at pre bent unknown. The HIGHLAND SOCIETY of LONDON The first General Court of this Corporation for the present season was held on Saturday, at the Freemasons' Tavern. At six o'clock, S. M'Grw vital-, Esq. Treasurer, and Past V. P. took the Chair, supported on his right by Col. M'LEAN, and on his left by J. BEVRIDGE DUN CAN, Esq. of Damside. The Honorary Secretary laid before the meeting the Report ofsthe Com mittee of Directors on a variety of interesting sub jects connected with the objects of the Institution. Amongst these, was a suggestion to revive the Committee appointed last year for consider ing the plans which had been submitted to the Society for procuring a building in one of the new streets for the future meetings of the Corporation. After the Report of the Committee had been read and approved, the nomination of officers for the ensuing year took place, when it was unanimously resolved, that a Deputation should wait upon his Royal Highness the Duke of Yoax, respectfully to so licit his Royal Highness to preside over the In stitution for another year, and to convey the grateful acknowledgments of the Corporation for the interest which his Royal Highness has in variably taken in the welfare of the Corporation, and particularly during the past year. The thanks of the Meeting were also unanimously voted to J. GORDON DUFF, Esq. for his able and unremitting, attention to the duties of his office, with an ex pression of their regret that the Institution could not continue to enjoy the benefit of his ser vices ; after which, J. WEDDERBURNE, Esq. was unanimously elected an honorary Secretary on the resignation of Mr. DUFF. At seven o'clock the company adjourned to dinner, preceded by Mr. CLARK their piper, and we were much gratified to observe that all the members appeared in the Highland garb. During the dinner, the Society's Piper continued playing favourite pibrochs, according to ancient custom ; and after the cloth was removed, THE KING, the Chief of the Highiand Society ; the Duke of YQIu and ALBANY, the PRESIDENT, and many loyal as well as national toasts and sentiments were given in Gaelic; and Mr. Gow with his band, and Mr. CLARK the piper, alter nately enlivened the company with native airs and pibrochs. In the course of the evening Mr. WATSON, a native of the Highlands of Scotland, Was introduced, and astonished and delighted the party with several admirable performances of na tional melodies on the violin and violincello, both of which instruments he played at the same time. This individual, we hear, became blind when he was four years old, but even at that early age he dis played a talent for music which this calamity could not repress, and which he has cultivated with so much perseverance and ardour, that his performance is not only interesting from its sin gularity, but highly pleasing from the precision and true highland spirit which characterize it. Nothing can be more ingenious than the means which he has devised of performing on two most difficult instruments at the same time, and we are informed that he has invented a method of teach- ing music to the blind, for which the Society of Arts and Sciences have voted him one of the medals. of that Institution. The CHAIRMAN in giving " The Sword and Plaid" said, that as this was the first meeting, at which there was no Member present who was not clothed in the national garb, he felt peculiar pleasure in giving this sentiment, and he trusted that the example which had thus been set would be observed at every subsequent Court, as there was no dress more becoming, or which could more tend to preserve that high and noble spirit which had at all times distinguished the Highlander. The utmost hilarity and conviviality prevailed throughout the evening, and the company did not separate till a late hour. We cannot con clude our report without expressing our pleasure at the prospect which was held out at this meet- ing, of the General Courts for this season being numerously and most respectably attended, as we are convinced that this Society, which is the Parent of all the Societies of the same nature that , have been formed, has rendered most im portant services to the Highlands of Scotland, and has been the means of preserving the enthu siastic attachment of Highlanders, whose pur suits have called them to other quarters of the globe, to their 08th-; Hills, " the birth-place of valour and spi KING'S THEATRE.—The Opera of It Barone di Dolsheim, which had been suspended in con sequence of the illness of CURIONI, was brought forward again on Saturday, and he displayed no symptoms of his recent indisposition. The Opera altogether went off. well. A new ballet suc ceeded, entitled Les Pages du Dec de Vendome. As entertainments of this nature are chiefly in tended for the eye, it is needless to attempt a description of the fable. It is a very splendid and striking ballet d'aclion, and was admirably supported by ANATOLE, the ballet Master, his wife, Mademoiselle MERCANDOTTI, Mademoi selle ROLAND, and ALBERT, one of the first male dancers that ever graced the Opera Stage. The piece was very well received, but must be considerably shortened, as it far exceeded in time the limits of Episcopal permission. Lord MARYBOROUGH left town on Saturday Tor Brighton, on a visit to the KING. Miss DAVIES, who has been performing with great success at Ipswich is, we find, engaged at the Norwich Theatre, where The Norwich Mer cury of Saturday last announces her appearance this evening, for the first time, in the part of Jane Shore. According to the report of The Ipswich Journal, this interesting young actress possesses such talents as are likely to ensure for her an early introduction on the London boards. Mr. KERN.—It was reported, soon after Mr. KEAN'S return from America, that he had given great offence to the people of New York. The report is unfoui-Oed, and, as a proof to the con trary, several Gentlemen of the highest respec tability in that place have recently sent to him two very elegant Silver Cups, richly gilt, in testimony of their admiration of his talents, and approbation of his private conduct.

MIDDLES EX SESSIONS.-This morning the bu siness of the Sessions for the County of Middle sex commenced at the Sessions House, Clerken well-green, before FRANC IS Coss - r, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates. On the Grand Jury taking the customary Oath, they were briefly addressed by the Learned Chairman, by which it appears that the Kalendar contains a very considerable number of prisoners charged with offences of great magnitude ; there are two cases of murder, with many others of a heavy na ture. The Petit Jury were then sworn, after which the Court proceeded to the disposal of cases for trial on the traverse paper. Nothing of interest, except to the parties co:tcer►;ed, was contained in any of them tried during the morning. The Trgfilgor cutter, Captain WALLErt, of London, has just returned from a voyage to Ore Coast of Africa. Previous to her departure, she' - had a Jib-sail math', in June last, of Unbleached Canvass, which had undergone 13nower.a.'s MILDEW process; also a Main-sail made of the same Canvass, one cloth of which only had been prepared, the remainder being all unprepared. - On her return the Jib-sail is found to be wholly free from mildew, although it has been exposed to unusual vicissitudes of wet and dry sultry weather. The Main-sail has been kept con- stand) , furled during the whole voyage outward and homeward, and is much mildewed in every part, with the exception of that cloth which has undergone the process, and which is much brighter in colour, and has not the least vestige of mildew. The Sails may be seen at Messrs, PETER WALKER. and Co.'s, Sail-makers, 310, . Wapping. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FEE. 18. W e have an over abundant supply . of all sorts of Grain this morning, and the very best samples support last week's prices, but the ordinary qualities could not be disposed of at any price, there being no demand whatever, and the prices of that sort . merely nominal ; this appears to be the state of the market with respect to every kind of (Akin.

Yellow Candle Tallow of first quality remains at the same price as on the date of our last exposition, say 583. The great discrepancy which had previously existed with re ference to the lower sorts has claimed much attention, and iioaps have improred in value ; Atchangels 48s. ; 495. ed. • Peteisburgs 475. ; speculators have also been on the alert in. purchasing St. Petersburgh Yellow Candle Tallow, to b,, shipped in the ensuing months of June and July, at 48s. per cwt. duty paid, and 425. in bond ; the importers are unwilling to effect salt:s except upon the fat, ter point, in consequence of the agitation of an augmented duty, which has, however, subsided since the Debate of last night ; and prices to-day are full Is. per cwt. below these pries.—Foreign Coffee remains without alteration, but the better qualities of Plantation are again rather higher; Mid dling and Good Middling Jamaica 1255. to 1345. At a sale of New Carolina Rice 355. to 375. per cwt. was obtained.—Rums have been in more request, and holders 'generally will not accept former prices ; indeed, this is the case with all sorts of Spices, as well as Cotton ; and, generally, the predictions which we have presented to public notice, with reference to commercial operations, are daily unfolding themselves. The tremendous effectsproduced by a return to the metallic currency; in depreciating the value of all produce, are daily diminishing, and already we have the harbinger of better times. That the year 1822 will be as distinguished for the confirmation of this sentiment as its precursor was for a contrary result, there is every ground for anticipating—the discussions last night in the House of Commons afford every proof.
