ENCII FUNDS. Jan. 9, Five per Cents. Bank Stock 1540 f. c. STRASBURG, JAN. s.—At the moment that the Journals of the capital informed us of the insane attempt of malevolence on the Chateau of San mur, we did not expect that the town of Belfort would be at the same time the theatre of a simi lar event Four individuals, who dishonoured the epaulet they formerly wore, Sieurs PefTulu, Deibordes, Brouke, and Lacombe, and were im p:icated in the conspiracy of the 19th of. August, 1620, attempted to seduce the 27th regiment of the line in .garrison at Belfort ; but the conduct of that 'faithful corps, commanded by . loyal officers, defeated their project. Flight has un fortunately removed the conspirators from the punishment whiCh Was due to them. TranqUil lity was immediately restored at Belfort, the po pulation of which, like all the 'population of Alsace, will always repel with horror the shame ful and guilty machinations of the, enemies of the and France. ORDFR OF THE DAY. " The zeal of the Kines - Lieutenant Toutain, of Lieut.-Col. de Regniac, and of the officers of the 27th regiment of the line, has defeated a criminal design at Belfort, fabricated in the man ner of that at Saumur, by men escaped from the conspiracy of the 10th of August, 1820. " An assemblage ofabout 30 evil-disposed persons was form e in the midst of the night before last, in the suburb de France; one of them fired a pistol, close to the. brave Lieutenant of the King', and wounded. him - severely.. Under the cover of.the night this wretch escaped from the vengeance - of the troops. " This insane attempt, repressed and crushed at the rnOment, has only served to display the good disposition of the garrison cf Belton. All officers and soldiers entertain the same senti ment of horror at the wicked men who dream only of disorders and catastrophes. • " The Lieutenant-General hastens to communicate by means of an order this news, in order - to dissipate the false reports of in e ill-disposed: " Baron PA NI Pll ILE DE LACROIX, • " Lieutenant-General, and Commander of " azasburg, Jan. 3. " the Fifth Military Division." FRANIiFO ar, JAN. 4.—News from Petersburgh 9f the 15th ult. announce that the Emperor has just nominated the Officers 'of the Staff of the Navy,' and, that liear..AArniral Moller, has beeti appointetl Chief of .the Staff. _ . Ti. last news received at WarsaW from the in- Itussia are by ; no means of a pacific na , tu . re. it is certain that every thing in this empire is ready. for striking a great blow. The Vienna- Yournars are all' agreed. on one point, which is, that Turkey has submitted to the conditions imposed by Russia, and that con sequently war will not take place. • JAN. 5.--(Z.rilaCt•Of a Private Letter.)—We are still in the same_ cncertainty respecting peace 4, war. 'The news of the acceptance of the U/- 'timattun is not confirmed, and people now begin to say openly that it was fabricated by some speculators deeply "interested in the rise of the Austrian funds. 'Several Couriers,.they say, have been sent with this news to Holland. Some' let ters from - Vienna, it is true, said to be written by . persons well informed in State affairs, do not Yet renounce the hopes of peace; hut, on the other hand, advices from authentic sources,received from Munich and Stuttgai:dt, are far from holding out such hoPei. It was asserted' in those capitals tinal, in a certain case, the Court of Vienna was resol.ved on taking part in the - war against Tur key. .11esides we-have letters from Petersburgh, of the 12th pit. which state that the' .Manifesto awallist the Porte_was daily expect e d t o appear .

Atx-LA-Cnitcd.r., s►--(Extract of a. Private Lettet,)---To the: favourable news just , published at Viebna, respecting the negocia tions at Constaqiuople, I think it right to op pose .extracts oft; letters received from Berlin, on the movements of the Ottoman and Russian Armies. The Commanders-in-Chief of the Russian Armies of the South and the West have detached several regiments of light cavalry, which have taken positions in advance, and wait for orders to enter Moldavia and 'Walachia. The corps in Bessarabia is quitting the province to proceed to its ulterior destination. The Turks continue to reinforce their. Army in Moldavia, and have withdrawn from the. Aus trian frontiers their troops which were stationed there. The number of Ottoman troops in Bulgaria exceed 30,000 men, who are chiefly distributed in the western division of that province. The Turks are putting all their fortresses in Bulgaria in state of defence. Some, of their garrisons appear to be attacked by a contagious malady. ft is confirmed that the Greeks have obtained great advantage's in Candia. A strong division of their fleet is iroitA off that island. TRIESTE, DEC. 9.4.---Wehave received the con firmation of the capthre of Arta.—(See the article from The Morning- Post, among the Extracts from " The Landon Journafs" of this day. SPAIN. • MADRID, DEC: 27.—Various accounts have been received --respecting the. bands of factious - persons in 'some - parts of the northern provinces Of the kingdom. A letter from St. Sebastian, of the 23d inst. says, 46 We have just received au thentic information that a band of .about 400 in ' surgents reached Mu'ez on. the evening of the 19th. A party of the regiment of Seville hasten ed to attack them, but fell in with only about 100, who were beaten and dispersed by a com pany of chasseurs. On the person of one of the killed was found a list, from which it appears that the party formed the 2d company of -the 2d batt. of the regiment of Volunteers, defenders of Religion and the King. Three wounded were taken, and a great number fled into a wood, where they could not be pursued on account of the roughness of the ground and the obscurity of the night. The whole battalion would certainly have been taken - had they not been informed of theapproach of the constitutional troops in time to retreat, leav ing only the company which has first suffered the inevitable punishment of all these wretches. Many of them finding themselves attacked by the troops and the national militia, told Juannito that he had deceived them, by assuring them that they would find assistance every where, and from persons of all classes, and they have left him to return home, cursing their own credulity." Ano ther letter of the 24th says, that Don Santos Ladron commanded those who were beaten at Muez ; that the number killed was above 50. The rest are pursued in various directions, and it is confirmed that numbers of. these deluded people are returning to their homes. General Lopez Banos was at Puente la Rei n a on the even ing of the 21st, where the Political Chief of Pamplona arrived the same day. Very satisfac tory accounts have . been received in the capital from the moveable column of the province of Alava, which is in pursuit of the factious, several of whom have been made prisoners. Col. Pazos, who corrimands part of the troops in pursuit, high ly praises the volunteers of Vittoria, who endure every fatigue, as well as the soldiers of the line, of the regiment imperio.Alexander. DEC. 28.—1 n consequence of what passed' at Gerona on the 14th, several detachments of militia from the neighbouring places repaired to that place on the 15th and 16th, all of whom : haVe returned to their homes . ekcept those of Figuerras, with whom and other troops the neigh bouring country has been reconnoitred ; the very few factious who were still together, dispersed, and the arms that were to be found in the villages near the place, collected and brought away, that the ill-disposed might not make use of them. Two of the insurgents being shot on the-17th, and an amnesty published, about 70 have ap peared to take advantage of it.—The Governor of Venasque writes, on the 17th, that nothing new had been observed in that part of the fron -tier relative to the approach of foreign troops. — It seems that some insurgents have appeared in Biscay, but it is probable that ,they will not be able to unite in a body, as the Government has sent orders express for partof - the troops to go to Biscay, which were sent in that direction On Recount of the events in Navarrei, and Gen. Lo pez Banos will be able to detach part of his co lumn and-stifle such projects in their origin.—The forces which are advancing in all directions to wards the points wheretheinsurrection'has mania fested itself, give reason to .hope that they will be able to externihnitethe factious without being obliged to be long tinder arms.--4n Arragon the judicial proceedings against the factious 'of Caspe -and Alcaniz are continued. with great activity. In the . Orst - of those places the chief ringleaders are in prison. - The Commandant General Was going to Alcaniz to hasten the proceedings against the factious of that place, who, es - we have said before, are a small number of'person-of the worst character.—Some factious belonging. to those of Sangu.essa having entered - Arvagon; the Com mandant General has ordered the Governor of Jacon with . some troops to cover the frontier of that province, and if they are dispersed, to go to Huesca- to restore tranquillity, Whielthas been again disturbed. The troops which have marched frorn-Catalonia., Valencia, and New 'Castile, for, Arragon, will hate enabled the 'Commandant' General not only to restore tranquillity in the military division under his 'command, but also to scud powerful. aid to Navarre: • , DEC. 29.—The * attended , ' to-day the Council of State,. which sat from ha Ifliast ten till three in the afternoon.—The Government has received to-day, by - express, a dispatch from the. moveable column, which! states that on the' 25th a body of 7 or 800 insurgents were assem bled near Larrainzar: a detachment of 50 chaus seurs and eight cavalry advancing against them, they commenced a brisk fire, forming themselves linto companies, and occdp)iri,,a strong position; they maintained their ground for a considerable time, _ but being taken in flank retired to the neighbouring heights, and were there pursued as far as the difficulties of the ground, the darkness of the night, and the excessive fatigue of the victorious troops, would allow. The rebels had twenty killed and fifty were taken prisoners.— The remnant of the factious who remained toge ther went to Beunza, whither the column was to proceed the following day in pursuit of them.— The same courier also brought accounts from the provinces of Burgos and Alava, where perfect tranquillity prevails. Troops had gone from the latter to pursue a band of factious in Biscay. DEC. 31.—A courier has arrived to-day from Placentia, stating that there has been a trifling disturbance in that city, originating in a dispute between a militia-man and a peasant. A Pro clamation from the Political Chief states it to have been immediately suppressed by the mea sures adopted, and by the arrival of the Captain_ General of Old Castile with his troops. The ringleaders are arrested. The Cortes have been chiefly occupied with the Penal Code, and with the division of the Spanish territory. [Extract of a private Letter.]---There are no longer any symptoms of contagion at Port St. Mary. The French .Consul at Cadiz', in a letter of the 15th to the Prefect of the Upper Garonne, says, that since .the e 27th of last month the yellow feVer has made no progress in the different towns of Andalusia, and its ravages have so.much nished, that Te Deum has been sung at San Lucar de Barrameda and Lebrija. At Cadiz, the state of health, he adds, is how good, and he hdpes in a few days to be able to announce the total disap pearance Of the yellow fever from the whole pro vince. INDIA.

JUNE 1, 18111.—The period having arrived at which Lieut.- General Sir Thomas Ilislop resigns the command of the Madras Army, in consequence of the permission he has obtained to re turn to Europe, he feels himself called upon publicly to ex press the sentiments which he considers the occasion to de mand. In discharging this duty, the Lieutenant General avails him self of the experience while full seven years have afforded him to form a just estimate of the high military virtues and qualities of this distinguished army, alike unsurpassed for the perfection of its discipline, as for the splendour of its achievements ; and which it has been the fortunate' lot of the Lieutenant General never, in the course of the long period abovementioned, to have had to remark on the least deviation from the former, so has he enjoyed the highest, degree of gratification in having been an eyewitness to the brilliancy of the latter. To this gallant and'high spirited Army Sir Thomas llislop now bids farewell, uniting therewith his unfeigned assurances, that as its future'glo'ry will never cease to be the first wish of his heart, so will its'hitherto well earned fame ever continue to command his 'admiration, and to be the theme of his praise.

Mr. MONTAGUE, Mr. :WETHERELL, and Mr. AGAR, *ere heard in support of the appeal in this: case from the Vice- Chancellor.

A most splendid entertainment was given yes. terday by the Lord Mayor to his Excellency the Lord' Lieutenant. There were present about 120 persons of the first rank and character.in- the country.—The Lord ,Mayor took the chair .at a few minutes before seven o'clock. On his right was seated his Excellency the Marquis Welles; ley, Lord Powerseourt, Lord Mount-Charles, the Commander. in -Chief, Lord Norbury, Mr. Blake, Mr. Gregory, Sir A. B. King, &c. On his left, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Frankfort, Lord Fosse, Lord Castiecoote, Mr. Plunkett. There . were pre sent besides, -Mr. Secretary Goulburn, ,the Solicitor-General, the Recorder, Board of Aldermen, &c. 'After dinner, the LORD MAYOR gave— " Our revered Sovereign, George the Fourth." " The Duke of York," &c. followed ; and afterwards, " Our illustrious Countrywan, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and Prosperity to Ireland." The loud and continued plaudits which ac companied • the announcement of this toast, can only be regarded as adequately expressive of the feelings of respect, admiration, and gratitude, which the whole country entertain towards this distinguiShed - Nobleman. As soon as silence restored, his Excell'ency rose, evidently under strong emotion, and , spoke nearly as follows i •" My Loa Mayor, my Lords and Gentlemen—l sincerely thank' you, for the honour you li . ave done me, and I hope I shall merit it—(Applause.)—That honour is considerably enhanced in my estimation by th e gra tifyi ng sentiment with which you r haSe accompanied it—the prosperity of my native country. Devoted as I am to this country, by affection—by in terest—by the earliest attachment, I have ever endeavoured'to oniote the 'welfare and prosperity of I re l an d. B ut , my - Lord Mayor, by your association of that sentiment with my health, I conceive I am to understand that prosperity which you contemplate as :the- effect resulting from my adminis tration of the governthenf of this country. In zeal, in anxiety, and in diligence,:-. I feel that 1 shall not be wanting. In my efforts to give effect to these my intentions, it is but natural,that I should - mainly rely on your co-operation. Upon the support of the' learned of the land, of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who surround me, do I place my chief reliance to tranquil lize the country, and cultivate its happiness. In affording me. this desirable, aid, I cannot too strongly in cu l ca t e upon your minds the necessity of promoting, by every means in your power, those wise, those constitutional, those truly loyal prin ciples, conveyed in the admonition of our sacred and beloved Sovereign, when he was pleased to honour this country with the presence of his sacred person. This admonition pointi out to you a right iule of conduct: it'breathei the spirit of my in structions, and ;:t is the bounden duty of us all to revere and to cherish it. It is not by putting together phrases, or by mere effusions of sentiment, that'benefit can accrue to the country but by a steady pursuit of the conduct that has been recom mended, and an earnest endeavour to conciliate our fellow-coun trymen. These are the sentiments which I entertain, 'and haying expressed them, I would beg leave-to propose the health of the Lord Maybr and Corporation of Dublin, and may : they cultivate the affections of the people, and ev e r ac t i n con f orm i ty , to the -wishes Of their King."

OF WEDNESDAV.] This morning, Captain Cunningham, as also Peter Oliver, Matthew Day, and Edmond Con nelly, were ,fully committed to gaol, under-an order from Carew Smith O'Grady, Esq., for be ing with a party in arms at night. Mr. Kennedy, commanding the Hope, on the river Shannon, apprehended Thomas Carroll, charged with the murder of Major Collis. He was on Sunday last transmitted by Lieutenant Bindon to Tarbert, and thence committed to the gaol of Tralee, by Captain Robert Leslie. On Sunday last, Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson lodged in the county gaol twelve men, for un lawfully assembling and cutting down an orchard, on the lands of Beabus. [FROM - THE LIMERICK TELEGRAPH OF TUESDAY.] On last Friday night, or rather on Saturday morning, several houses were attacked in the neighbourhood of Bruff, in this county, by a gang of midnight mauraders. The houses of two far mers, named O'Donnell and Lee;on the lands of. Ballygrennan, were among. the number, from which two muskets were taken. The houses, also, of two other farmers, named Leary, were at tacked by the same party, but no arms were obtained. This gang visited several other houses in the vicinity, iiut were still unsuccessful in ob tailing arms ; in lieu thereof, they extorted from the owners contributions in money, of sums of from 7s. Gd. to 1/. Last night, the military stationed at Herberts. town, in this county, went out to patrol the neighbourhood. They had not proceeded far, when they came up with a large party of ma -rauders, who had fired several shots. We are informed they. have taken six of them prisoners. LEII.OM THE ". CLONMEL ADVERTIZER.I • On Monday *night, an armed party, of about thirty called at. the house of Mr. James Bushel, at Ballyvaughan, pear Clonmel, where they left Orders that he shoUld not demand more than forty shillings per acre for his ground, or-to mark the consequences ; from thence they proceeded to .several of . his tenants,- commanding them not to Pay more ; scarcely. a house between Bally vaughan and the mountain that they did_not visit on the same night, giving similar notices. _.- On Wednesday might last, a party of mounted gun-mongers, midnight legislators, &c. traversed the country at. Moorestown, Magenstown, Bally. nattan, and Graigue, lying between Clonmel,and Cashel, where they gave . notices to the farmers, charging them not to pay more tithes than two shillings an acre for tilled or untilled ground, till they should . receive further notice. The night following, a similar party appeared in the neigh bourhood of Lowe's Green, _much in the same direction, joined by numbers from the New Inn side, who acted in a _similar manner. A few nights previously, they took arms from the house ofMr. Denis Bates, living near Clerihan, as well as from others. They take. the farmers' horses, in. almost every instance, to mount their parties ; Which horses are generaly found the following morning, on the roads, greatly fatigued and in jured from excessive riding. • TRE COflE INTELLIGENCER 'or THURSDAY.) Even the Most indifferent must feel alarmed, and tlre ..,most sceptical must feel convinced of • the increasing spirit of turbulence and disaffec tion in tlae west of this county. On Tuesday morning, at three o'clock, the house of Samuel Swete, Esq., of Greenville, year Macroom, was attacked by an armed band, con sisting of about three hundred men, well armed and mounted. Mr. Swete, we understand, had received some intimation of their design, and made such preparations as the time would admit, by securing his doors and windows, and taking into the house some labourers, on whose fidelity he could depend, who, added to his own family, including his nephew, Mr. Walter Townsend, made a party of eighteen. The first signal of the approach of the banditti was the sound of a - horn ; shortly after, the house was surrounded, and a volley fired, which was,imme diately returned, which, it is said, killed one, and wounded several of the assailants. By this spirited, and, we presume, unexpected resistance, the party were completely repulsed, and speed ily retired, leaving behind them two horses and a hat, and threatening to repeat the visit shortly. On the same tilght an attack was made by an armed banditti on the house ,of the itev. Mr. Kirchhoffer, near Macroom, in which they were, most manfully beaten off by that .Gentleman and his Sons. Early lb the morning, information of this oc currence having reached Robert Hedges Eyre, Esq. he, aided by a few gentlemen, and a small party of cavalry, immediately proceeded to the , spot, and, having , ascertained the direction the party took, commenced an active and vigilant search, and was fortunate enough' to discover the leader, the same Patrick Leary, •who was cons cealed under a bed.--The fellow has been fully 'identified by Mrs. Kirchhoffer, and has acknow ledged his guilt. lie has given much valuable informatiOn on the state of the county, from which it appears that this gang was chiefly com posed .of -fellows from the proclaimed district of Duhallow. On Friday night, a number of marauders, mounted on about eighty horses, with two men OR each, appeared in the neighbourhood of Inche gelaugh, and robbed the Rev. Mr. Aicken of one gun, Captain Evatt, of two, and Richard Brown and Mr. J. Brown, of a gun each. They also fired some shots in defiance, and swore seve ral people of the, place. On Tuesday morning, about two o'clock, the Palace Ann Yeomanry, headed by their, captain, Arthur Beamish Bernard, Esq. (who, it is supposed had previous intimation,) came up with a body of about 500 men, generally mounted, a mile and a half west of his own house, and about seven miles from this town. When the Yeomanry came uP they were unperceived for a time, and Captain Bernard, with three of his men, advanced, first cautioning them against firing ; but, whether from impetuosity or interested motives, one of the three fired, which was so unexpected, a s to make them fly in different directions. The corps, on hearimg the shot, immediately advanced, but only two of the banditti were taken prisoners. On Tuesday night, the houses of the follow" ing persons, all in the parish of Kilbrogan, and, within a mile of Bandon, were attacked and robbed of arms, viz.:—Benjamin Hales, of one gun ; George Ileasle, of a sword ; and Wither' Giles, of one gun ; besides those bf Thomas GS' briel, steward to William Conner, N. of MY' shalls; Richard Bradfield, and Edward Miller/ in which they found no arms. It is with the sincerest regret we have also t° announce the continued attacks of these miscreant marauders, upon the houses of the peaceable and loyal inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Liscarrol.

Accidentally the worthy pastor directed the interrogatory to a pew that .be' longed to a person of the name of %VISE, which, added to his demanding so frequently and - s° ,earneStlY,'" Is it zwise?" attracted the . attenti° 3 of a country lad who was sitting 'tear 'the pul' pit, and who, supposing that the question was addressed to him, rose and replied, it be farmer Denzil' who sits in Mr. Wise's pew." The circumstance is very well rernerw 4 •bered in this neighbourhood, and as all the parties are known to us, the anecdote may revive a laugh at our firesides in this dreary season; and your , Readers may deem you one of the Wise family for inserting it.
