The firmness of the. Mayor had its effect ; it was night ; nei ther, party could ascertain the force of the enemy. Berton retired, threatening to return and make the town repent its resistance. " The men whom l ßerton had seduced by mo ney, and to whom he had promised powerful and speedy reinforcements, no, sooner saw him turn back than they dispersed; and returned to their hemes. Berton had only ten or twelve men when, be : appeared again before Thouars, which, having time to- recover itself, closed its gates against him. " Berton their resolved to fly with all speed, and it is ascertained that : illiving . procured the dress of a p6asant,:k e i s now wandering among the woods and .mountains with the sole object of avoiding the active search that is creaking' for him. The troops which had received orders to march, have returned I,to their cantonments, and there have remained only some brigades of Cendar tmerie and 'a detachMent of cavalry., which are actually in pursuit of him; A half-pay officer, named Route, who had joined the rebels, has been arrested at Saurnur, as well as a young man, who was haranguing in the public squares, and tried to excite the people ; nine or ten persons, .who• were part of, General Berton!s troop, have also been arrested, among whom is an Ex-colonel. It . N hoped they will be all taken. ," M. de Castries has arrested an officer of 1 - 1 . regiment, who had a correspondence with Paris and Gen. Bert On. All his troops have marched against the rebels with the greatest enthusiasm. Their worthy General, Comte de Bricke, has repeated on this occasion the honourable proofs of zeal which he gave at Montepellier in 1815. " Such is the result of •this rash and crimina enterprise, which will at least have the advan tal e of shelving hoW impotent those guilty ex ertions are, with which our ears and our minds have heea for some time afflicted. France reads aild hears with disdain seditious declamations, whia cruel experience has taught it to appre- elate, and it knows what to think of the words of the factious, who, in exchange for the liberty and p eace w hi c h it en j o y s under the protection of .the King and the Constitutional Throne, would bestow upon it the most horrible of kll scourges, civil war. Mean'time all the threads of this new conspiracy are known." ' It appears also that several tumultuous scenes have taken place in the church of the Petits- Peres at Paris and the adjacent streets. This church has been appropriated to the service of the Missionaries, who have been insulted and de rided in the performance of their religious du ties by great crowds, among whom were a consi derable number of young men belonging to the Schools of Law and Medicine. The military were called in and order restored. The French Chamber of Peers is still occu pied with discussing the Law on the Press. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the Report of the Commission for the Management of the Sinking Fund was read. Count Mollies, the President of the Commission, announced that the purchases made in the preceding year amounted to 77,600,000 francs, by which there had been acquired in the Great Book inscriptions for 4,000,000 francs de rude. The average price at which the renter had been purchased was seventy-two francs. A lively discussion after wards took place, respecting the management of the public accounts, in the course of which the Ministers, among other accusations, were charged by M. Dudon with having lent money to the house of Lafitte the banker, at a rate of interest below the market price, of which they were suf fered to make the advantage. M. Dudon als6 hinted that the money so lent had been employed in influencing elections. M. Lafitte, who was Present, indignantly repelled this charge, and stated, that the house he represented had never been a debtor to the Government, but, on the contrary, had lent in 1816 - five -- Millions in one day, and in another year six millions. M. La fitte also complained, that in naming his house it had been spoken of by M. Dudon as of the seventh or eighth rank, against the injustice of which he appealed to the commercial part of the community. After some further investiga tion it was found that the money (about six mil lionsnof francs) had been advanced, not to the house of Lafitte, but through their agency for the use of the Provision Company. The speeches of M. Lafitte and M. Dudon were both ordered to be printed. On Thursday the discussion on the public accounts was continued. On the 28th ultimo the French Five per Cents. opened at 89f. 50c. rose to 90 f. 45 c. and closed at 90 f. 25 c. Bank Stock left off at 1587 f. 50 c. Letters have been received from Warsaw, of a very recent date, which are not only warlike, but state, in a very positive manner, that the Turks have just sent reinforcements to their army in Moldavia. The report of the war having ceased between Persia and the Porte is further contradicted by private advices frOm Constan tinople, of the 25th of January, which give the additional information that the Russian party was all powerful at the Court of Persia. The accounts from Augsburgh corroborate the pre ceding articles of intelligence : " A Utz Bli ItGII, VE8.23.---A serious insurrection has broken out among the Turkish troops both at Jassy and at Foczany against their Commander Salih Paella. They insist that the heavy artil lery shall be brought back from Braila to Jassy ; the Paella has been obliged to yield, and 100 pieces of cannon are ordered to Moldavia. An account is sent to Constantinople, where the affair will cause great sensation. The Turkish 'troops continue to be reinforced in Moldavia, where they are now 40,000 strong: " It is also said, that there is a mutiny among the troops on the Pruth; the Janissaries and the Asiatics insist on war. There is no truth in the report of peace between Persia and the Porte." Brussels Papers to the Ist instant have arrived, from which we give the following extracts : "FRANKFORT, FEB.2I.—We learn from Cassel that the person who poisoned the Prince's valet de-chambre is discovered ; he is arrested, and is said to have declared that he took his victim for another person, on whom he wished to revenge himself, but that he had no designs against the sacred person of the Electoral Prince. " VIENNA, FEB. 15.-A Grand Council has been held, at which the Emperor presided in person. It is supposed that the great affairs which engage the attention of Europe were discussed, for after the Council broke up, expresses were dispatched to different Courts. The opinion of the probe . bility of the continuance of peace is less confident than it has been. It is• certain war cannot be avoided, unless the Porte accepts all the articles of the Russian Ultimatum without condition or modification." A Dutch i\lail, with Pape?s to the Ist instant, has arrived. The only information of any in. terest is the account of a violent storm at St. Petersliurgh and Stockiiohn, On the night of the sth ult. Madrid Paper's to the 18th ult. have been re ceived, but bring little information. The Uni versal of the 16th contains a report of the pro ceedings of the preriaratorY sitting of the Ordinary Cortes on the..previous day. Senor CALATRAVA 3 the President of the Permanent Deputation, .accompanied; .by 'sortie Members of that .Deputation, proceeded thither, and ad dressed that Assembly in a speech full of hope and confidence that theiiew Cortes would direct their efforts to the consolidation of the new In stitutions, and the welfare of the nation. The following fact, upon the authenticity of which our Readers may confidently depend, is a melancholy proof of the state of Ireland : " The whole of the tenantry of the Earl of CLARE have thrown up their farms, acknow ledging that they have no fault to find with thdr landlord, but that they are forced.to comply with the peremptory mandate of the invisible Capt. Rock." For other melancholy proofs .of .the unhappy state of the Sister Island, we refer to the con tents of the - triSh Journals received' this morning, which our Readers will find in another part of our Paper. WEST• •INDIA INTERCOURSE.-I.lkg Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Committee of Bri tish North Ainerican Merchants having written to the Earl BATHURST, relative to the proposed extension . of the intercourse between the United States and the British West Indies in American Shipping, have been informed, that the details of this measure belong to the Board of Trade, but that " no decision will take place upon it, with out due reference to the relative interests of all parties concerned in it." American Papers arrived this morning to the lth February. The following are Extracts : (From the Commercial Paper of Feb. 5.) 44 CONGRESS, FEB. 4. " SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-HOUSE, MARCH 4. We have received this morning the Official Dis patches of OTIGGtNs of the surrender of Callao, as well as the Articles of Capitulation, which consist of five; The following is an extract : " 2. The Protector of Peru will permit the veteran troops to go to one of the inte rme di a t e ports with a passport, to unite itself to the army of Arequipa. " 3. The General-in-Chief of all functionaries shall be treated with respect ; those who pro pose to return to the Peninsula may retain their swords and other distinctions of office. " 5. Every thing with regard to the opinion and services - of the inhabitants of Callao shall be forgotten, and their persons shall be protected." The KING is stated in a Brighton Paper to have lately laboured under the effect of a slight cold ; but w(1 question the truth of this state ment, as our correspondent is silent upon the subject. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER came to town for the season on Tuesday. Yesterday morning their Royal Highnesses attended Divine Service at St. George's Church, Hanover-square.

In costume there was a great variety of spring fa shions; pink appears to be the p reva ili ng co l our , taste f u ll y trimmed with rich lace of English fabrication.

Byron, 1814. FUNERAL PROCESSION OF THOMAS COUTTS, ESQ. This morning the remains of the above highly respected deceased Gentleman were removed from his late 'residenc - e in Stratton-street, Picca dilly, for interment in the family vault at Rack- Eton' . Abbey, Oxfordshire. At slue o'cloCk the Procession began to move at a very slow pace in the following order :-- Ten Horsemen, two and two. The Plume of Feathers. THE HEARSE, Bearing the Armorial Escutcheons of the Family, spleodidly embroidered on the Pall; the flarse was drawn by six black hOr3l'S. Three Mourning Coaches and six, cwntaining the principal Mourners. The Deceased's private Carriage and four. The Procession was closed by a rong train of Noblemen - and Gentlemen's coaches, consisting of upwards of 40, including those of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Sussex, the Duchess of Kent, Lords Coventry, James Stewart, Cawdor, &c. &c. KING'S THEATRE.—A very numerous audience attended this theatre on Saturday, among whom were the Duke and Duches's of GLOUCESTER, and a very large proportion of the higher orders. The Opera was Il Barone di Dolsheini. CARTON! sung admirably in Frederic the King, and acted the part with characteristic truth and gravity.— CAMPORESE also distinguished herself. There were several encores, and the Ballets were much applauded. JAMES MONTAGU, Esq., who died on Friday last at Kew-Green, at the very advanced age of 102, had served three Kings—George the 2d, 3d, and 4th. He was many years first Equerry of the Crown-Stable to George the 3d, and had the honour, in conjunction with another Gentle man still living, to teach his present Majesty, and his Royal Highness the Duke of York, to ride. The living colleague has been nearly 60 years in the Royal service. IRELAND. [FROIVI THE CORK ADVERTISER.] LIMERICK, FEB. 27. Attempts at Assassination, two murders, burning of a third Church, burning of a Barrack, the in surgents continuing a search for fire-arms, and several other outrages of various descriptions, since our last. Monday night, Carew O'Grady, Esq., with Serjeant Fraser, a detachment of the 93d High landers, some members of his family, and a few trusty assistants, p ro c ee d e d through Mannister to Boherard, and being attracted by a vast con flagration and the firing of shots, advanced in double quick to Athlacca. Church, which was upon their arrival entirely in flames, and shortly after totally consumed. Mr. O'Grady'g party was delayed near Mannister in a search for arms and ammunition, which unhappily prevented an engagement, as Mr. Croker's Steward, whp sat up for the protection of the Glebe House, Mr. Bolster, and all others concur in stating that he would certainly have fallen in with the party, had he been ten or fifteen minutes earlier. These miscreants, about 50 or 60 in number, well armed, placed Mr. Bolster (brother to the gentleman the attack on whose house we mentioned in our last) upon his knees, and he owed his life to the ap proach of the military. Mr. O'Grady's party succeeded in taking two prisoners, one within the Church-yard, and would certainly have achieved more, but were precipitately hurried from the scene, and the village adjoining it, by another fire, to which they quickly advanced, and which proved to be the burning of the Barracks at Ballinagran. The excellent and persevering conduct of Mr. O'Grady, to restore quiet to this county, is most strikingly exemplified in the above statement. He is scarcely a night in .bed. If his example were followed by the Magistrates in general, we should not have the melancholy task of reciting so many outrages which have stigmatized the County Limerick, and disgraced it .more than any other portion of his Majesty'S dominions.. Before thelDSUrgents burned Athlacca Church, they entered the Rev. Edward Croker's house, and took therefrom several fire-arms. Mr. C. is at present in the county Kilkenny. Athlacca Church, consumed by the insurg►ents on Monday night, was built in 1614, and cost 6001. On Sunday night a party of Nilliteboys visited Brookalodge, the residence of 111. Scanlan, Esq. near Rathkeale, but got no arms—they were removed a few days ago, the house being thatched: Four sheep, the property of Mr. A. Callinan, were killed in his yard at Cahirnarry, on Monday night, and the fat only taken away. TWO MURDERS. On Saturday night, at eleven o'clock, Ballynoe Ho use i n this County, was forcibly entere d by a numerous gang, who in the most inhuman manner murdered . Denis Bowen, Steward to Mr. Cox, alleging as a cause that he did not leave a Pound Note for Cavain Rock at a certain house which they appointed some time since—he had four musket shots in his body--one entered his heart.—Mr. Cox is in the County Tipperary. Monday night, a set of ruffians broke into the house of Thomas Egan, a decent farmer, near Croagh, in this county, and having placed him on his knees, deliberately, in the pre sence of his beloved nephew, fired three shots at his body-- one of them entered his heart and caused instant death—they then marched off, exulting in their deed, without any apprehension of fear. THREE ATTEMPTS AT MURDER On Saturday last, at one o'clock, as Lieut. Stewart, of the 42d Highlanders in company with Mr. C. R. Shelton, of Rossniore, was riding near his post, at Kilmeedy, they were fired at from behind a ditch, but providentially escaped, the ball hav ing passed the back of Mr. Shelton's bar, although the distance was less than ten yards from which the assassin took his aim.— A few clays previous, a party of the rebels lay in wait for this active Officer, expecting he would walk out near Kilmeedy, but their plan was defeated. This is the third time this Gentleman, in discharge of his duty, has nearly fallen a victim to the savage barbarity of those lawless insurgents, who evidently have marked him as a prey. No reason can be assigned for thiS ap parent dislike, but his very great activity in patroling, and searching suspicious persons. About two o'clock on Sunday, a servant man of John Sulli van of Camas, Esq. was fired at from behind the orchard ditch th - '6, but narrowly escaped. No reason can be assigned for sue unprovoked felony, but a wish to have this servant leave the house, in order to have liberty to pillage the improvements, which are now the best on Lord Courtenay's estates—Mr. S. being obliged to repair to Newcastle to lodge. An attempt was made on Saturday to assassinate the wood ranger at Tervoe. He returned the shots, but without effect, as the villains precipitately fled. A party of insurgents attacked the house of Adam Miller, of Garrane, near Patrick's-well, on Sunday night, and though they were gallantly beat off by Miller and his son, yet they succeeded in setting fire to the house, which was consumed to ashes, together with an out-house, and one cow. George Tuthill, Esq. of Faha, the landlord, has offered a reward of 501. for the conviction of the persons concerned. On Friday evening at seven o'clock, 33 head of black cattle were taken by an armed party of Insurgents, from offthe lands of Killoready, near Newcastle, the estate of John Maher, Esq. Also seven cows and one bull, the property of Phillip Holland, Esq. were taken off the farm of Shanrath. These lands are within two miles of the garrison town of Newcastle, and were in the occupation of the above gentlemen, as they did not con ceive the rents oared by the former old tenants to meet their approbation. It is rather singular that such a number of cattle could be taken away unnoticed at so early a period of the night, and carned out on the high road through the village of Castle manon, and proceed to the mountains without the view or knowledge of any individual until next morning. The house of a man named Gorman, near the front gate of Beechmount, near Rathkeale, was thrown down on Monday • night _ _ • _ 'Sfonday last, three men in female apparel and well armed, went to a field near the Old Chapel of Rathkeale, and drove off some farmers that were ploughing. It having been privately communicated that the insurgents intended to burn the church at Knocksay, in this county, on Friday night, the Rev. John Preston, Rector of the Parish, frustrated their Intention, by procuring a military party, which are still stationed convenient. The burning of Castle-Mahon House, and Offices, and total destruction of the property. On Monday night, about eight or nine o'clock, the house of Mr. White was again visited. The party surrounded the house with the most cautious silence, and without any other alarm, immediately set the, house and extensive offices on fire, to. gether with several stacks of corn, amounting to about 20 or 25 (wheat, barley, and oats). These cowardly assailants, with the greatest coolness, refused to admit any one of the family from the tumbling conflagration. There were in the house at the time, Mrs. White, four young children, the governess, and six servants. Just as the dreadful catastrophe was about to close in the deepest tragedy, a party of the 42d regiment, under the conduct of Serjeant Schism, rushed forward with the warm humanity and resolved spirit of a true soldier, rescued this whole family from the most appaling and imminent death, pursuing the murderous incendiaries through orchards and wild intricacies, in the dark, until one villain was secured, who, this moment affects the Most unbroken dumbness. The soldiers after this aflbrded every assistance in extinguishing the .flames, and endeavouring to save some wreck of the property. The cold-hearted pursuit of these men after Mr. White may be seen in this—that on the very night L.fore, they came as it were to apologize for the trouble and injury done heretofore. They strewed every symptom of grace, and said that Mr. W. might return to his house, and that for the future they should live in a good and friendly neighbourhood.—They then retired, leaving the most deceitful impressions on Mrs. - White. Mr. W. had been forced to lodge some time back in Newcastle, and most providentially paid no attention to thesc cajoling invita tions. Castle-Mahon is part - of the estate of Thomas O'Grady, Esq., Surveyor-General. Newcastle, Feb. 26. Monday night a house belonging to the Lord Chief Baron was burned on the lands of Grange, near Newcastle—and also a house belonging to Mr. Holland, at Shanrath, was burned and his cattle taken- away. Two houses, within a pistol shot of the town, were consumed on Sunday night. These were formerly in litigation with Mr. Hoskins, the late Agent to the estate. Same night, six in calf cows and one fat bullock were taken away from off the lands of Appletown, the property of Lady Muskerry. Last night, a large stack of hay, the property of Mr. Power, of Rathkeale, was burned on the farm of Ballyfrawny, near Newcastle. The same night, two bows were taken from Edward Shet!by, Esq.—and some time before there were six sheep taken from off his lands. Last night, while the army of Kilmeedy were at Castlema hon, 13 cows, the property of John Maher, Esq. were taken out of the Pound at Kilmeedy by the Whiteboys, having 'been put there as a place of safety. These make in all 46 head taken from that Gentleman. This night will produce more evil deeds, you would perceive it in the - countenance of those barbarians who crowd the streets seeking news, and to know \ how the public mind feels. A letter from Rathkeale, dated nine o'clock last night, says, We are now, at this moment, looking out of the windows, and are illuminated with houses on fire all about the country.' Krunr.—On tl.e night of Wednesday last, a gang of Whiteboys visited the house of a Police Constable, named Gloster, on the lands of Clounmillane, between this town and Killarney. On entering the house, the leader of the banditti demanded the constables' pistols (knowing he had been robbed of his carbine by a parry of those freebooters some time .before).—Gloster denied having any pistols, but the leader having obtained a light, went directly to the spot where the pistols were concealed and seized them. He then desired the Constable to look minutely at him and say if he knew him ; en being answered in the negative, he offered no further violence. On Gloster's venturing to hint his surprise that such outra .es would be persisted in, and the Insurrection Act in force, the ruffian's reply was " To the D-1 we pitch the Insurrection Act and tl;c framers of it." ROYAL NAVY, &c. On Wednesday th e St ar t ransport, un d er the charge of Lieu tenant Henry Hire, agent, arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, with fbur hundred tons of returned ordnance and commissariat stores, taken on board at Malta, and twenty invalided seamen and seventy invalided soldiers, taken on board at Gibraltar. She left Malta on the 13th January, when the Rochfort (Vice-Admiral Sir Graham Moore), Cambrian, Mar tin, and Adventure, were there. She left Gibraltar on the 10th February, with the Chapman transport, Lieut. Cole, agent, also having on board returned stores and invalids, which arrived on Saturday. The 51st, 28th, and 32d Regiments, with six companies of the 36th, recently added, were at Zante ; the Bth and 90th regi ments were in the other islands ; the 18th, 80th, and 85th, were at Malta. The lonian Islands were by no means in a quiet state, the people being much exasperated by being re pressed in their desire of assisting the other Greeks against the Turks. A. most barbarous murder'of all the crew of a Turkish ship had lately taken place at Cerigo : though previous protection had been promised, yet, no sooner had the vessel anchored in the harbour, than all on board were put to death by the Greek inhabitants, under every circumstance of aggravated cruelty ; men, women, and children, were tied together and thrown overboard. A similar occurrence had taken place at Zant-2. For these excesses several summary executions of the Greeks had taken place, and an additional garrison been sent to Cerigo. The Andromache frigate, Commodore Joseph Nourse, C.B. will go out of Portsmouth harbour on the 15th instant, and shortly after sail for the command at the Cape of Good Hope. She will touch at Madeira, the Cape de Verds, and Rio de Janeiro. ' - The Liffey frigate, Commodore Chas. Grant, C.B. will go out of Portsmouth harbour in. about ten days, fitted for the command in the East Indies. The Lords Commissionei s of his Majesty's Treasury have been pleased to direct the whole of the force employed for the prevention of smuggling on the coast of this kingdom (with the exception, for the present, of the co as t bl oc k a d e on t h e coasts cf Sussex and Kent), consisting of revenue cruisers, pre ventive water-guard, and riding officers, to be co nso lid ate d, and placed under the orders of the Board of Customs. A Court-martial was held on Wednesday at Portsmouth, (Capt. Bay, President), on John Condron, a seaman of the Grasshopper, for mutinous conduct, in striking the Serjeant of Marines, for resisting every authority with extreme violence, and using mutinous language to the commanding officer, Lieut. Peacock. The charge was proved against the prisoner, and he was adjudged to suffer Death ; but, in consideration of Ms youth and inexperience, and the irritation produced in his mind by the imputation of theft made against him, and the good character given him by his Captain, and the humanity displayed by.him, he having recently jumped overboard during the pas sage of the Grasshopper from Newfoundland, whereby he saved the life of a brother shipmate, the Court strongly recommenda. him as a fit subject for mercy.

Our market is overloaded with Wheat of all descriptions, the weekly supplies being much larger than the Millers can take off, and even the finest samples were with difficulty sold this morning, at an abatement of 2s. per quarter, but the second and inferior sorts were totally unsaleable, and prices nominal. In consequence of the reported determination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer not to allow the reduction of Bs. per qr. on the stock on hand, on the sth of July, the Maltsters throughout the kingdom have suspended making any more Malt this season, which has thrown the Country Markets into that state of stagnation, that no sales of Barley could be effected, and the barley trade in Mark-lane is completely parelized, for no Maltsters would buy a bushel to-day, even at a reduction of from 3s. to 4s. per quarter on the prices of this day week. The arrivals of OA are very large, yet the demand for Fine Cora was tolerably' ,hrisk at last Monday's quotation; Beans are full Is. per quarter lower. In other articles there is no alter ation.
