TINS iTIL E satisfaction! GI. consistency of Opposition on this subject, as they clamoured only for the reduction of 10,000 men some time ago ; and though a .reduction of upwards of 12,000 has since taken place, yet they are not satisfied !! ! But what will afford them NAVY FIVE PER CENTS. This day, at 19. o'clock, several Gentlemen, holders of. Stock in the Navy Five per Cents., assembled at the City of London Tavern, to take into consideration the means to be adopted, and the propriety of petitioning the House of Commons, against the Bill now passing for the regulation of the payment of the Navy Annuities. Soon after twelve a num- ber of the principal Merchants, Bankers, and Stockbrokers, among whom were—Mr. PEPPER PEIICORN, Mr. DAVID RICARDO, Mr. WHITE, Mr. lII6GiNs, &c. entered the room, and after some delay and discussion, no Chairman being regularly appointed, Mr. PEPPERCORN took the Chair, and Mr. litcGtNs proposed some Resolutions, which he, however, declined putting, in consequence of the thinness of the Meeting.— After a great deal of discussion, the Meeting separated, on a Committee being appointed to call a more General Meeting on this subject. Among the Members appointed to the Committee were, Messrs. DIVED RICARDO, HIGGINS, WHITE, PEPPERCORN, &C. The dreadful disorders in Ireland, particu larly in the County of Limerick, appear to proceed with unabated violence. It is difficult to trace the motives and objects of these Ilagiti- ous proceedings, as the atrocious perpetrators assign different causes for their atrocities at different periods. They are, however, con sistent in their turpitude, and act in ferocious defiance of law, as well as with a total disregard of justice and humanity. The influence, however, of the Insurrection Act, the infliction of public justice, and the operations of military force, may indeed soon be expected to restore peace to the country. We refer our Readers to another part of our Paper for the intelligence which we re ceived this day, respecting more recent out rages and barbarities. We have received the French Papers of Satur day, from which it appears that the tumultuous scenes, alluded to in our paper of yesterday, which took place in the church des Petits Peres and the adjacent streets, on Tuesday and Wed nesdav,were repeated on Thursday, when twelve persons were arrested and conducted to the Pre fecture of the Police. Messrs. de CORCELLES and DEM ARCAY, members of the Chamber of Deputies, who happened to be in one of the streets where the crowds had collected, Were also taken into custody ; and, after having undergone an examination before a Commissary of Police, by whom they were detained three or four hours, they were released. The arrest and subsequent treatment of these Deputies was de tailed by them to the Chamber on Friday, and gave rise to a long and violent debate. M. DE MARCAY described the insolence and injustice which he had experienced from the Police and gen darmerie, and contrasted it with the moderation of the national guards. He stated, that he was pro ceeding with his wife to visit her mother, who Was ill, when he was violently pushed back against the wall by a gendarme on horseback, who, upon his remonstrating against this conduct, took him into custody, and lodged him in a guard house, from which he was not discharged until three or four hours afterwards. M. de CoRCELLES Was passing in the same direction for the purpose of visiting a sick relation, and was treated in a manner equally violent. The MINISTER of the INTERIOR answered the complaints by de claring that, in his opinion, the Members were themselves in fault, for attempting to force their way through streets which were blocked tip by the military, and for making use of seve ral irritating and insulting expressions to the sol diers, who desired them to retire. A scene of great agitation ensued, many acrimonious ex- Pressions passed between the most violent of the two parties, and the subject was at length dispos e d of by the House voting the pre vious question. The conduct of the Mis sionaries seems to have excited a strong feelin g of indignation against them in the Prench capital, which was manifested at the Church of St. Eustache and La Bonne Nouvelle, as well as that of des Petits Peres, but the general tranquillity has suffered no material in terruption, The Prefect of Police has in copse- public, according to the extent of the proposed reduction, will most probably be disposed to assign to Colonel Davits more attention to the Signs of the Times, than to the indefatigable Alenil.‘r for the Scottish Boroughs. But Lord PALM ERSTON very properly pointed out the in- The French Five per Cents. closed on Friday at 90f. 75c. and Bank Stock at 1585 f. A file of American Papers have arrived this morning, but not of a later date than the last. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.--We are highly pleased to hear that Capt. CROELLER is arrived with despatches from the French Go vernment for the French Minister, and for the diffec i ent French Consuls throughout the United States.—Mr. MAURAY, our Consul at Liverpool, stated to Captain CROELLER, that the Commer cial Treaty between the United States and France was concluded. THE TRADE WITH MEXICO.—A Gentleman is arrived at New Orleans from Campeachy ; he states, that the ports of Mexico are open for a free trade with all nations, but the duties are very heavy. [From the National Intelligeneer, Feb. 7.] We have some late news from Mexico, which we shall give to our readers in our next, the principal feature of which is the institution of a Regency, of which JUAN OTIONOIIO is at the head ; the Bishop PUEBLA second Regent ; and General YTUItUIDE the third Regent. BRIGHTON, MARCH 3.—His NIA.) LSTY yester• day took an airing in an open landau ; the wea ther was bright and cheerful, and equally cheer ful were all ranks and descriptions of people.— This morning his Majesty attended Divine Ser vice in his private chapel, which commenced at noon, and concluded at half-past two o'clock. The Address of the Rev. Mr. MA BERLEY to the Undergraduates of Cambridge, at the late County Meeting held in that Town, gave great offence. It was uncalled for—and altogether unwarrantable; but it shews to what lengths The Party will go to accomplish their ends ! The scite for the New Church in the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell, is with propriety objected to, from its low swampy situation. It is generally thought that the Commissioners for the building of Churches are not apprised of this circumstance. It is said that the ground on which this church is to be built is below the level of the water in the Canal, and must be in the winter frequently flooded, notwithstanding the additional expellee which will be incurred in the attempt to avoid that serious inconvenience. COUTTS.-It is reported that this gentle man, from motives of gratitude for the incessant attention and soothing tenderness which lie had experienced from Mrs. COUTTS, during the whole of their union, and from a full confidence in her justice and liberal feelings, left the whole of his property to her disposal, assured that she would manifest those feelings in its distribution. Ac cordingly, it is said that she has already begun to justify his conviction that she would act with justice and generosity towards his family, by relinquishing her share of the Banking business in equal portions to his three daughters, the an nual amount of which is supposed to be at least 30,0001.—We have no doubt that her general conduct in the management of her vast property will be characterized by the same just and benig nant spirit. Ma. JEKYLL—We have the pleasure of in forming the admirers of high talents, anti the friends of personal worth, that the convalescence of this gentleman has proceeded uninterruptedly, and that he will soon be able to resume his offi cial duties, and to gratify private circles with his knowledge, vivacity - , and humour. The name of JEKYLL has long been revered in legal estimation, and it is evident that its present pos sessor inherits all those qualities which origi nally brought it into well-merited distinction.— Even POPE, whose Muse was obviously more in clined to satire than panegyric, paid a willing tribute to the political rectitude of this family. Mr. ELLISTON is not returned from Paris. It is said that the purport of his journey was to solicit permission to represent the late Corona tion in that capital, which has been so successfu at Drury-Lane Theatre. A Tragedy on the subject of CATALINE, we understand, is soon expected from one of the best of the living race of Poets in this country ; not from the stage, however, but the press. POLISH JOURNALS.-The productions of the periodical Press in Poland are at present very numerous. There are now no fewer than twenty four Journals of various descriptions, some politi cal, others devoted to subjects of literature or science. Gazeta Literacka (the Literary Ga zette) is a weekly publication of a single quarto sheet, notices both Polish and Foreign Litera ture, and frequently contains articles displaying much information and considerable learning. DARING OUTRAGE.—On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, as the servant of Messrs. ATKINSON and ELDRID, of Fore-street, was pass ing the end of Little Britain, with a valuable parcel in his possession, he was attacked by two villains, who tripped him up, whilst one of them jumped on his neck and endeavoured to strangle him. Fortunately two persons came up, when the ruffians kicked him violently on the side, and made off.—Such occurrences as these are too fre- quest; they are highly discreditable to the Po lice, which is shamefully ineffective both in the City and at the west end of the town. John Backley, another of Cathie's shopmen, was last night found guilty, at the Old Bailey, of having published a blasphemous and wicked libel on the Christian Religion, and sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to find security for his future good behaviour. Thus have the members of the Constitutional Association (by whom this prosecution was instituted) again vin dicated their claim to the support, of all who venerate the sanctity of religion, and the purity of morals ; thus have they replied to the fero. rious scurrility of their despicable opponents, who sought, by daily torrents of personal abuse, to intimidate them from their course, quence issued a proclamation against tumultuous assemblages of the people. Several persons implicated in the affair of General BERTON have been arrested, and the General himself is reported to be a fugitive dis guised as a peasant. Sir Jacob and Lady Astley, in Harley-street, from their scat, Melton Constable ; Mr. and Mrs. Evelyn and family, in Glou cester-place, from their seat, Wootton, Surrey ; Sir Masseh and Lady Lopes, in Arlington-street, from their seat, Naristow House, Devon ; Hon. R. F. Greville and Countess of Mans field, from their seat, Richmond Hill ; Lord St. Helen's, in Grafton-street, from the Pavilion, Brighton ; Rev. Archdeacon Prosser, in Audley-square, from York ; Lord Hoyden, from Grimston House, Yorkshire. DEPART URE S.—Viscount and Viscountess Galway, for Bath ; Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Gouldsmith, from Brighton, for Bath. THE PITT CLun.—The first Spring Dinner of this Club is fixed for Thursday next. Sir EDWARD KN - ATcrlDuLt., Bart. N.P. in the Chair. THE BATTLE OF ALEXANDRIA.—The commemoration of this splendid national achievement will, it is expected, be numerously attended this year, as so many of the Members of the Highland Society are in town.

ROYAL HUNT.—On Friday his Majesty's stag-hounds turned out a fine deer at Ashford ; the day being fine the field of sportsmen was numerous. The deer at first start ing took towards Chertsey, making to the left, through the inclosures, where he ran with great swiftness towards Walton-bridge, where he crossed the Thames to the right of Weybridge, and took across the country towards Guilford, taking to the right back by Cobham. In the course of the chase the sportsmen and hounds had lost the deer for some time but found it again, and renewed the chase. The deer then took along . the Bagshot road, round by the Golden Farmer's-hill, where he was soon taken. This remarkable fine deer ran near six hours, which caused the death of some of the sportsmen's horses, the chase being so long, and the sportsmen riding one against another to prove who had the best horses.

PEDESTRIANISM —James Tenny, a a - ell-known Lincoln.. shire pedestrian, has, for a wager of one hundred guineas, un dertaken to walk 936 miles in eighteen days, and he is endea yourinV to perform the arduous task in the neighbourhood of Stamford. On Tuesday a Match at Pigeon shooting took place at Ha vant, between three gentlemen of Emsworth and three of the former place, which was decided in favour of Havant. The following is an extract of a private letter from Odessa, dated February 1. It is the only political intelligence contained in the last advices from that quarter :—" It is now under stood the EMPEROR will visit this city in March next, and was to leave St. Petersburgh, for War saw, on the 15th inst." On Saturday afternoon, as a gentleman, in his single horse chaise, driven by his groom, was passing along Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn.. fields, by some accident the horse tripped and fell. The gentleman and his servant were thrown out, and the former unfortunately had one of his thighs broken, and was carried into Mr. DAvis's, the surgeon and apothecary, where the fracture was immediately reduced. The groom sustained no material injury. During the bustle a genteel dressed man moved off with a valuable diamond pin which the unfortunate gentleman wore in his shirt frill. FOR THE SUN. A BEDS FREEHOLDER. IRELAND. [FROM THE DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT, MARCH 2.] FRIGHTFUL OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK. I'Ve have received letters this day from New castle, in the county of Limerick, giving an ac count of one of the most alarming outrages that has yet occurred in any part of the disturbed districts. On the 28th of February, at the hour of two o'clock in the afternoon, an armed party of the peasantry, consisting of upwards of two hundred persons, attacked the house of Thomas Furlong, Esq. of Ilallydaniel, near Newcastle. Their first object appears to have been the de struction of the Gentleman and his family, but as they were fortunately absent, the wretches directed their vengeance against his property. The Insurgents accordingly set fire to the house, which was entirely consumed. All the furniture of the house, and the farming implements, were burned.—On the night of the 27th, thirty-one cows were stolen from Mr. Cart, of the county of Limerick ; and on the same night, a large quantity of bacon, about 40 cwt., was forcibly taken away, by a party of Whiteboys, from the house of Mr. Hayes. It is supposed in those let ters, that the Insurgents intend to encamp on the mountains, and that the cattle and provisions which they have taken away are designed for their subsistence. It is stated in one of the let ters,that the cattle had been killed and salted.— A party of sixteen Insurgents went, on last Wed nesday night, to the house of Mr. T. MuWay, near 'Waterfall, which is distant about four miles from the city of Cork, and demanded fire-arms. They got one gun. The twelve Judges sat yesterday in consulta tion upon Roger Heffernan, convicted at the Commission at Cork, of selling powder to the 'Whiteboys. The determination of the Court of Appeals was not made public. Since the appearance of the Requisition for an extraordinary Session of the _Magistrates, to which the names of so many individuals of the first respectability are affixed, the spirit of in subordination has been manifestly discouraged throughout those districts, for whose tranquillity the most serious apprehensions were entertained —(Kilkenny Moderator.) [FROM THE LIMERICK NEWS.] This morning, thirteen military parties, (horse l and foot), accompanied by Captain Drought and the whole of his police, left this city, at an early hour, to make a simultaneous search for arms throughout the south liberties. A t one o'clock Serjeant Torrens proceeded to the City Court, and, after the Lord Lieutenant's Proclamation, and his Commission under the same, ere read by the Clerk of the Peace, the Learned Serjeant addressed a very crowded Court at con siderable length, adverting to the very lament able state of the country, and the necessity of resorting to extreme measures to restor e tran- quillity: lie then explained the various clauses of the Insurrection Act, and stated, that its pro visions should be carried into effect in that Court, with all the mildness and determination of Bri tish justice. A man named Patrick Naughten, in whose house bullets and a powder-flask were found this morning, was put to the bar, and not being ready for his trial, it was put off, and the Court adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow. The Serjeant then proceeded to the County Court. The following was yesterday issued by Capt. Drought : " Police-office, Limerick, Feb. 27, 1822. " All persons in the proclaimed part of the Liberties of the city, are hereby ordered to affix on the doors of their houses, (both outside and inside), lists, containing the christian and surnames of all the inmates of said houses, over the age of twelve years, legibly written." [FROM THE CORK MERCANTILE CHRONICLE, MARCH I.] EXECUTIONS NEAR MACROO3I. The nine unhappy men ordered for execution, under the late Special Commission, who left this City on Wednesday, arrived between four arid five o'clock the same evening in Macroom, and were immediately lodged in the Bridewell, front whence the four convicted of the affair at Carri- ganimmi, were taken at an early hour yesterday to the place appointed for their execution, about five miles to the west of Macroom, and after un dergoing the awful sentence of the law, theit bodies were then placed in coffins, and broughr back to the Bridewell in Macroom, where they were deposited. The assemblage collected to witness the melancholy scene, we are given to understand, was by no means numerous. For the state of the public feeling, on this appalling occasion, we refer to the following letter, which we have this moment (two o'clock) received from a highly respectable correspondent : TO THE EDITOR. Macroom, Thursday Evening, Feb. 28. DEAR Szn.---The heart-rending scenes that have occurred here, for the last two days, almost deprive me of the power of CAMBRIDGE COUNTY MEETING. MR. EDITOR-The Whigs do not appear in dined to give any notoriety to the proceedings of this Meeting—neither do the Radicals seem disposed to exult in their victory over the for mer; but as a very important letter is stated to have been read at that Meeting, from the Duke of BEnroan, avowing - sentiments on the present state of the House of Commons, which his Grace's friends in town disown, it is desirable that a copy of this letter should be given to the public through the medium of the Cambridge paper.—His Grace could not with any propriety use the language attributed to him, when it is recollected that he is the Patron of so many Close Boroughs, and might set a more brilliant exam ple to his brother reformers by using his best en deavours to obtain an Act of Parliament to put an end to occasionality in these places—hut having invariably opposed every attempt of that nature, His Grace's sincerity in favour of Parlia mentary Reform may be justly doubted, and many people now think it will fall to the lot of Lord LONDONDERRY to bring in and carry a measure of this nature, The principle of it his Lordship acknowledged in life Seditious Meetings' Bill of December, 1819, and the necessity of it is felt throughout the Empire.—That the rule of elec tion in Close Boroughs is not the same as in Counties and Cities is a monstrous anomaly, and creates that improper influence in Parliament which the Whig Press is not inclined to avow Bletso, 3d March, 1822. COUNTY KERRY. (Fnom Tim WESTERN HERALD OF WEDNESDAY.)

The Captain thinks none of the cargo is injured, but she must discharge to repair. DAxrsrr LITERATURE.—Among the literary novelties of Denmark, one of the most important is a new Journal, entitled Hermoder, which con tains both original Essays and Translations of the most classical and esteemed foreign productions. It is edited by Buocx, a Captain of Engineers, and Lieutenant HALsurit.—Another periodical ork, entitled Blandsinger the Medley, has been lately established, and contains several valuable articles.---In Norway also a new Journal has been started ; it is published twice a week, and contains not only critiques of new works, but interesting intelligence respecting the literature of other countries, and biographical sketches of men of learning and eminent writers : this is so much the more valuable, as until its appearance there was no regular channel whatever for the communication of literary intelligence, nor any repository for detached and fugitive papers. SWEDISH LITERATURE.—Sweden has hitherto contributed but little towards the stock of Euro pean Literature, but can boast at present of LING, a Poet, whose compositions are not only stamped with originality, and pregnant with fancy, but characterized by strong nationality and raciness. Among his productions, the sub jects of which are generally borrowed from Nor thern and Swedish history, the most prominent are his Agne, a Tragedy, of superior beauty ; his Idyll, entitled Love; EJI,f the Goth; and The Diet of 1527. Besides the above men tioned tragedy, he has produced several others, and some dramatic compositions of a different species ; but the latter are not so successful as his offerings to the Tragic Muse. LING is at present occupied upon an Epic Poem, entitled Die Asen ; a portion of this appeared in 1816, and its merit justifies the interest with which his countrymen look forward to the ap pearance of the remainder. His allegorical epic production, although so patriotic in its subject, has been received more coldly than his other works, being more imperfect and less polished. Several of his poems are in the Danish language, in which he composed a collection of poetical pieces (luring his stay at Copenhagen. Sweden possesses also, at the present day, a Poetess of no small talent in Madame ASPING, a Lady as accomplished as she is amiable. her Lbplan:l Girl, which appeared in the Poercal Calendar, edited at Upsal by the ingenious poet ATTER... BORN, is a composition of peculiar merit. AFZE.. Ltus and Professor GEIJEIt have published some beautiful Swedish ballads ; and the former, in contributing also to a new edition of the Edda, has rendered a most essential service to the lite rature of his country. giving you even a faint idea of the state of this town an country. The procession on Wednesday from Cork to this town, of nine unfortunate victims, justly, I must say, sacrificed to the injured laws of the Country, created fuch a feeling here, that no tongue could express, no language could pourtray, the har rowed feelings, not only of the immediate relatives of the mis guided people concerned, but of the entire population of this district. About ten o'clock this morning, Thomas Goggin, C. Lucey, Lyhane, and Murphy, accompanied by the respectable Clergy men, the Rev. Messrs. Kiely, England, Horgan, M'Swiney, and Coghlan, were removed from the Paidewell cf this town, under a strong escort of Regulars and Yeomanry, accompanied by all the Gentry of the county. Never was any thing more solemn —never was a better example set to any misguided peo ple, than the array of humanity and strength displayed on thin occasion ; no feeling (as far as I could perceive) actuated them, but sorrow for the unfortunate victims, and a determination to uphold the invaluable rights of our Constituion. To-morrow five more victir are to pay the forfeit of their lives at Deshure; the particulars I'll give you for your next Publication. Your's truly. On the night of M on d ay l ast, a house, ver the property of Mr. Thomas Parker, a respectable and wealthy farmer, on the lands of Tauloght on Coole, about five miles from hence, was surrounded by a party of insurgents and burned to the ground. Shocking to the feelings of civilized human na ture ! ! In it were roasted alive and totally consumed eleven cows, three calves, three horses and nine sheep ! Vire have not heard any motive assigned for this barbarous outrage, but THE INSTIGATION' OF THE DEVIL ! Parker was always supposed to be generally esteemed, as an honest, opulent, and industrious man, the friend of every person in his neigh bourhood, and highly regarded as such by every individual isho knew him. His family have been resident on the lands for many generations. They were ever acknowledged to be incs: merciful and lenient in their extensive dealings with their poor neighbours, and they were neither interlopers nor land -cant ers , in the slang of Whi te b oy l eg i slation ; still has this usef u l, un offending, and honest man been made the victim of savage frenzy. Certainly there is no security - for life and property is this devoted country,
