The Committee also proposed to form the last three paragraphs into another article with additional words, subjecting the offenders coming within the meaning of those Paragraphs to imprisonment from fifteen days to two years, and to a fine of from 100' to 4,000 f rancs.

SHIPWRECK.-W 6 have to record the loss of the Thames outward-bound East Indiatnan, which to ok place off Southend during the tremendous g 4 le on Saturday night. Further . particulars shall appear to-morrow. • New York Papers arrived this morning to the 1 1th January: The following are extracts : • [From the New York Amnrican, Jan. B.] " A Proclamation, translated from the Santa -gartha Gazette, appears in the Baltimore Arne ! fican, in which General SAN MARTIN declares ' the purity of his political views, the evils that Thrst result from popular Governments while in , t'olved in war, and his own assumption of the title of Protector of Peru, with possessiOn of Rl creme power, political and military, he names his own Ministry, &c. ; but promises that the State of things, as established by himohall cease 1 1 / 1 the meeting of the RepresentatiVes of the P eruvian Nation. Of the necessity of this mea- Snre we cannot judge hut if the motives that dictate it are pure, and the possession of un limited power voluntarily relinquished, he will have given a proof of patriotism such as we do tat at present anticipate." [From the National Advocate, Jan. 8.1 " The second Expedition of General LA Tortn.E, consisting of the Hercules brig,of war and oiler vessels, with between 5 and 600 men Conn board, had made a landing at Los Sagus, in the Gulph of Maracaybo. A curious sight must have presented' itself on the . landing of theSe ; troops, every soldier having, in addition to. his baggage, a pig, a turkey, or some other descrip tion of live stock.—BOLIYAR. is reported to be 4t Maracaybo with 6000 men,, and was about to Proceed with his forces to the reduction of ertn-Cabello." IneLANn.—From the accounts received this tnorning, it would appear that the severe checks Which have been given to the insurgents, have in some degree quelled the incipient rebellion. Ihe offer of some of the parishes to lay down their arms and take the oath of allegiance was, however, clogged with the stipulation that Go vernment should liberate the prisoners who have been taken since the commencement of the dis turbances. This demand was of course rejected ; and. the deluded wretches were informed by 'lajor CARTER that pardon would be granted to those persons who had fire-arms in their Possession, provided they had not been guilty of "murder, or of buntings, or had not ac tuallyft appeared in martial array against th e AING's troops. A considerable body of the t ohabitants of one parish accepted these con ditions. Only one gun, however, has as yet b een delivered up. Outrages continue to be perpetrated ; but by no means on so extensive a 4C ° l O as heretofore, a:td there has b e en n o r llrthnr encounter with the military, except an l t tack made upon an advanced party of the 40th egiasent, marching to the county of Cork from ' l ewcastle, Who were attacked by the Insurgents, ° verpowered, severely beaten, and disa r m e d, 1 , 1 " r Charleville. The Regiment coming up ; ° °n afterwards, scoured the country, and i . , ° ° l ( sixteen prisoners, eight of whom w ere ` i entitied as being concerned in the outrage. The "vanced party of the 40th consisted or a ser eant and four privates. After the abortive 4tternpts on the Thursday, the Macroom insur "ots returned to Rathcool. At this place their ra nks thinned perceptibly, in spite of the efforts , a(te to revive their hopes. The failure of the in tended attack. upon Kanturk, toward which-vast ) °(lies of insurgents had been collected, tended s till further to depress them. The only party of dainsurgents which, it is thought, is now formi , nle, is on Lord CORK'S estate, on the confines ?' Cork and Limerick. Great numbers of the t n sorgents have retired into the mountains of )l ievelougher and Gooseberry Hill. Lord Con y's CS tatt is mentioned as their last place of render l'°lls• The arms are concealed amongst the of this district, which will immediately b ° ~e invested by a s t rong m ilit ar y f orce; an d h ere f ll" insurrection will probably terminate.—The °flowing are extracts from the Irish papers : " It has been stated in the Cork. Papers, that so4 le outrages had been committed on the estate ?.f Nichol as P. L ea d er , E sq . near K antur i s.

From the number of witnesses, and the necessitywhich appears t o h ave ar i se n o f the Coroner and the Jtiry going to Ballynard, it was supposed that the Inquest could scarcely be ter minated before yesterday. At the hour of going to press, Mr. O'Brien, the Coroner, - had not re turned. 44 We have this day to state another instance of the near approach of the insurgents to this city. Near Waterfall, in the parish of Inskinny, on Monday night, they attacked the houses of four farmers, named Moore, Teat?, Saunders,and Warner., from whom, in all, they took ten guns, with several bayonets and pistols. The ►umbers ,of the assailants were inconsiderable. g‘ This morning early, horns were distinctly heard at Blarnely, in the, direction► of White church, as if for signals. " Yesterday two very well dressed and well mounted men were taken into custody near Ma croom, by that indefatigable Magistrate, James Barry, Esq. The name of one of them is Nor ton—his appearance gentlemanly. " A rumour has been current to-day, that the house of William Purcell, Esq., at Altamira, has been burned to-the ground. We should greatly regret to find this report - confirmed. " The Mallow hunt were fox hunting. on Satur day and touched on Barnacurra, where they came in view of a body of Whiteboys in the vicinity of the wood. The latter fired a shot which was sufficient signal for the hunters to retreat to the town. " Tuesday morning, Col.Gough, Major Catter, and all the Mallow garrison that could turn out, traversed the country about Barnacurra, but saw no Whiteboys except such as ran out of their houses to avoid them. " Excise Office, Dublin, Dec. 6, 1321. • " SIR—Mr. Grant, Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, hav ing in his Letter, dated the 3d ult., stated, that it has been re ported to Government, Clay the 13arlyduff Corps of Yeomanry, in the County of Cavan, are frequently called upon by the Revenue Officers of that town, for the purpose of search ing for illicit stills, aad that he is commandal to acquaint the Board, that from • many considerations, it is' very ob jectionable. to employ the Yeomanry on the Revenue Duties, and that prohibiting orders on that subject' were issued to the several Brigade Majors—the Board directs that you do en join the several officers in your district, not to employ the Yeo manry on Revenue Duty. " By Order of the Commissioners. " GEORGE WALLER." ‘C The 42d regiment stationed at Newcastle have received .a route for Tralee. " A Meeting being lately called by the Right Rev. Doctor Sugrue,• in Killarney, to procure cheap food for the Poor, Dr. Sugrue, lion. Mr. Browne, Christopher Gallwey, Esqrs., and Mrs. lieaphy and White, subscribed 501. each. The other names for this benevolent purpose will ap pear when the collection is completed. " A similar Meeting was held__ in Tralee on Sunday, the Rev. E. M. Denny in the Chair, and Resolutions entered into preparatory to the adoption of measures for the relief of the Poor." TIIE KING.—On Saturday evening, about six o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at h's Palace, in Pall-mall, from his Palace at Brighton.—Yester day the Duke of York visited the King. The Lord Chancellor had an audience of his ajesty. —The Marquess of Londonderry and Earl Ba thurst called to pay their dutiful respects to the King upon his arrival in London.—Yesterday Divine Service was performed at the King's Pa lace, in Pall-mall, by the Rev. F. Blomberg.— His Majesty will hold a Council this day to prick the Sheriffs for the present year. Yesterday the Duke of York attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. On Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Colin- cil was held at the Foreign (Nice, in Downing street, which was attended by the LORD CHAN'. CELLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Earl of WEST MORELAND, the Earl of HARROWBY, Mr. PEEL, the Marquess of LoNDONDERRY,EarI BATnURST, Mr. WYNN, Mr. ROBINSON, Lord MARYBO. ROUGH, and Viscount Stomount.—The Council sat in deliberation till near a quarter to five o'clock. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. W.tr.sx, the King's Messenger, arrived in Downing-street with a dis patch from the Hague, and proceeded to the Fo reign Office. His Excellency \V. RICHARD HAMILTON. Esq. his Majesty's Ambassador to the Court of the King of the Two St CILIES, is expected to embark at Portsmouth on the 15th inst., in the Euryalus frigate, Captain. A. J. W. Curroru), C. B. for Naples. Sir W. A'CounT, the present Ambas sador, returns home. The Special Commission for the County of Cork and City of Cork will be opened on the 16th February. The Judges named in the Commission are, Messrs. DALY, M'CLELANn, MoonE, JEBBS, and BURTON. The long-coutesteC dispute between the Duke. of DEVONSUIRE and the Corporation of Youghall has been most happily adjusted, highly to the honour of all parties. An article from Leghorn, dated, the 10th Ja nuary, states, that, according to the last ad vices received there from Egypt, " the Terks had pe netrated far into Abyssinia, and had sent many thousand slaves, or rather prisoners, to Egypt. Wechabites remained quiet.—Tbough the fidelity of the Pacha to the S•ablime Porte is not to be doubted, he continues to give a good recep tion to the Greek fugitives. The chief care of this wise Governor is to increase the insufficient• population of bis . dominions. Great doubts," it is added, ",are entertained respecting the sud den death of the Persian Prince." It is earnestly hoped by the owners and occu piers of land in Worcestershire, that his MA JESTY'S Ministers will not suppose the county of Worcester has been more exempt from agricul tural distress than' those counties from which Petitions have been already presented. It must b© obvious that the land in the vicinity of the Avon and Severn has suffered. very serious injury from the unprecedented floods; but as the most severe sufferings are frequently the most silent, and more effectually relieved than by complaint and outcry, upon this principle, and confiding in the wisdom of Parliament, the proposed call of a county meeting has not been acceded to by the Lord Lieutenant, than whom no one however has been a greater sufferer, tOR TIIE SUN. IVANIIOEi though almost as untechriical in his blazonry as poor IttsEms herself, is essentially correct. The false heraldry of " colour on co lour" means a charge or ordinary of the same colour as the field,. and not of a different one. For in this latter case, colour must be placed on colour, else we could have no blazonry at all.. The Black Knight's device would hare been more regularly marshalled thus—stthie, a feller lock and shacklebolt• azure. So, Lord MAMMON very properly bore —azure, a falcen vaunt sable. But the novelist and the poet were not tied down to the herald's phraseology. They are both, however, as unlucky in their advocate as in their censurer. The sable of bla zonry is a colour, not a fur. When the one cri ticises heraldry without a•deep knowledge of its rudiments, and the other fits out a knight-errant by the fashion of dolls and dandies, I must account the reviewer not too acute, and X X not ' Y Y. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—Le Nozze di Figaro at tracted a very numerous audience on Saturday, and far from being tired of this charming Opera, it seems to afford unabated gratification. The Performers were in high spirits, which were kept up by the applause which they received. The concluding ballet of Pandore is so admirably sup ported by the Performers in general, but parti cularly ALBERT, that it was most warmly ap plauded. _ DitURY-LANE.—On Saturday last the new Melo-drame of The Pirate was followed by Therese, or The Orphan of Geneva, in order to introduce Miss BOOTII for the first time at this Theatre. This actress has long been a favourite with the public, and the Manager has shewn due respect to the public in making so valuable an addition to his dramatic corps. Shq received on her. entrance a cheering welcome from all parts of the theatre; and she supported the character with such truth, feeling, and ex pression, that she was rewarded universally with loud and persevering applause. COURT OF CHANCED. Y.--( ThiS Day.)—The family of the TURNERS, who had been aiding and assisting in marrying a Ward in . Chancery„were brought into Court.--Mr. SHADW ELL addressed the LORD CHANCELLOR at great length on the subject. Mr. WRAY was for the defendants.— Two of the family were discharged ; but W. TURNER and ELIZABETH TURNER were com mitted to the Fleet Prison for contempt of Court. A letter from an Officer on board his Majesty's ship Scringapatam, at Zante, states that a skir mish had taken place between that ship and some Greek soldiers ; that one of the insulted men belonging to the Seringapatam was ultimately murdered, for which crime six Greek soldiers have since been hanged and gibbeted on the top of the highest hill in the Island.--The Seringa patam expects to return , to England in a month. Newfoundland Papers to the 7th ult. explain more particularly'the dirtressed situation of the Colony. The trade of the Island which, at the peace, was in a flourishing state, is at length re duced to a situation little short of absolute sus- pension, and without any prospect of recovery, but rather of, total ruin. The evil may be ex plained in a few words. The price for which the fish is sold will not pay for ( the catching, and as the Island has no other mode of employing its population, no alternative remains but emi gration or starving. The remedies that the trade, in their representations to Government, intended to suggest, were those of inducing the Spanish and Portuguese Governments to lessen their du- ties on fish, or of throwing open the ports of the Island to the admission of supplies for the fishery, at the cheapest rate at which they can be im ported. Of bounties they conceive there could be no expectation, or, if granted, that it would only be putting oft' the evil day. It was the in tention of the principal merchants and other in habitants to form themselves into a Committee, for superintending the sums raised for the relief of the distressed, and in order to see that no claim, except the truly deserving, might be at tended to. With every' precaution, a winter of distress was antjcipated, beyond any.ever expe rienced in the Island. We are sorry to learn that Sir WILLIA:u DE CR ESPIGNY is prevented from attending his duties in Parliament, at present, by' the dangerous ill ness of one of his daughters at Southampton; The venerable Bishop of this Diocese, with that princely munificence and desire to do good which so eminently distinguish his character, has transmitted one hundred pounds to the Secretary of the Durham Diocesan Society, to be expended in Prayer-books, for distribution in the several districts of the Society ; and his Lordship' has further intimated 'his intention to subscribe a sum annually dating his life, for the same bene volent purpose.—(Durham County Advertiser.) On Tuesday WILLIAM P-ISICINE, Esq. advocate, pre sented his Majesty's letter appoinng him one of the Ordi nary Lords of Session, ,in room of Lord BALMUTO, resigned, to the LORD PRESIDENT in the First Division, which was read by Sir WALTER SCOTT, aiie of the Principal Clerks. Mr. ERSKINE afterwards accompanied Lard CRINGLETIE to the Outer House, as Lord Probationer, to hear an ordinary action, which he will report to the inner llouse.—(Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 31.) On 'Friday night three " roaring bucks," by dint of modest assurance, made their way into the house of a respectable tradesman in the Strand, who happe i ned to be giving a dance and supper to a panty of friends. On the sellout's opening the door to them, and telling them, in answer to their inquiries, that the company were going to supper ; they congratulated each other on being in time, left their hats and coats below, and went up stairs. Suspicions soon arose that they were not invited, and on being accosted by the master of the house and desired to retire, one of them became outrageous, 'and a violent scuffle followed. They were in consequence sent to the Watch-house, and brought up at Bow-street on Saturday. The one who engaged iu a personal conflict with his unwilling host was ordered to find bail to answer for the assault at the Sessions. The two others were discharged. 4 • 4 . 4 .. , ...., .. 4AP .. e .... p oit . 6 9 k 1 4 '; 7:4:7:---,-'-71'9'64...,-,,-4-01.1'1',16:7,,)--4"- :2,2,7,i._ n',At ., : - .; „ ::: ., - - --- - kt-'•. , : . - , 2_,--4,%,-s-',4 t", .. 4 ~-, ,,t . ) , :rER OF .A,,...,--,t„.5,,.-A1 ' -• \ )r :11' d;t 7 ;4 of ..,.„ .. • k t c k• •, k. ~ ~, ~ FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

On Monday, his Royal Highness, attended by Ad miral Sir J. H.

On Tue,day his R,oyal Highness visit ed his Majesty's ship Euryalus, at Spithead, (on board of which one of his sons is serving as Lieutenant,) and, after inspecting every part of her very minutely, partook of an ele gant dejeune a la fourchette with Captain Cliffind, and the of ficers. About 4 o'clock the same afternoon his Royal Highness inspected the Portsmouth division of Royal Marines, under the command of Colonel Moncrief. On Wednesday, after pro. ceeding to St. Thomas's einirch, to see the marriage-register of king Charles 11. his Royal Highness and daughter set off for London. On the entrance of his Royal Highness into the church, the Coronation Anthem was played in a chaste style on the organ, by Nir. Sibley, which produced a fine effect. This was succeeded by several other select pieces -of .sacred music, with which his :loyal Highness seemed highly gratified, and was pleased to pass very flattering encomiums on the scientific execution displayed by Mr. Sibley. • Major-General Sir James Lyon his been commanded by the Duke of Clarence to express his Royal Highness's full and entire approbation of the very steady and soldier-like appearance of the troops on the days on which they were severally inspected.—The. Major-General re quests, that the officers commanding _the.Royal Artillery, the Royal Sappers and Miners, the Royal Marines, and the .Provi-- sional Battalion,. will accept his best thanks for that zeal and attention to the service which has called forth this distinguish= ed mark of Royal approval. IRISH KNIGHTHOODS. The informality which, it seems, vacates the honour of Knighthood conferred by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland since the Union, will not, we understand, deprive Sir. Jor-r.w CARE of that honour. In the " London Gazette" of September 15, 1810, it appears that our late venerable .and beloved Sove reign was graciously pleased, under his Royal Signet and Sign Manual, to grant to Sir Jolin Carr his Royal li cence and permission, in compliance with the desire of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, to . accept the Rank, and wear the Insignia (the Grand Cross) of a Knight of the Royal and Military Order 'of Constahtine, con ferred upon him by that Sovereign, as a testimony of his Royal regard and esteem. His late Majesty also further ordered, that his Concession and Declaration. should be registered, together with the relative Documents, in the College of Arms. We sub join the following extract from the Gazette itself, in confirma, tion of what we have above stated : " WHITEHALL, SEPT. 15, 1810.—The King has been graciously pleased, by Warrant under his Royal Signet and Sign Manual, to give and grant unto Sir • John Carr, Knight his Royal licence and permission that he may, in compliance with the desire of his Majesty Ferdinand the Fourth, King of the two Sicilies, accept the rank, and wear the insignia, of a Knight of the Royal and Military Order of Constantine, conferred upon him by that Sovereign, as a testimony of hi , Royal regard and esteem ; and also to order that his Majesty's said Concession and Declaration be registered, together with the rela tive Documents, in his College of Arms." The Duke of Montrcse gave an elegant entertainment on Sa turday to the Duke of Dorset, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Westmorland, Lord Melville, Lord Clive, Sir e:LOng, Bart.. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c. at his house in Grosvenor Square. General Grenville gave a grand entertainment on Saturday to the Duke of York, the Ambassador of the NetherlandS, Earl Bathurst, Lord Glastonbury, Lord Stowell, Sir Herbert Tay lor, Bart. ?dr. Greenwood, Mr. Cox, &c. at his house in Hill street, Berkeley-square. Lord Holland entertained the Marquis and Marchiones4 of Lansdown, and a distinguished party, at dinner, on Saturday, at his house in Old Burlington-street. There were present at the dinner given by the Earl of Ilar rowbv, on Friday, as - Lord President of the Council-for arrang ing the roll of Sheriffs—The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Char cellar of the Exchequer, Mr. Peel, the Mar quis of Londonderry, Earl Bathurst, Viscount Sidmouth, Mr. B. Bathurst, Mr. Wynn, Viscount Melville, Mr. Robinson, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Dorset, and Mr. Grenville. On Friday last, the Members of the North and South Shields BunNs' Club, held their third annual meeting at the Shake speare Tavern, North Shields.—Sereral Members from the county of Durham attended, and some admirers of the Northern Bard, from the vicinity of Stockton. One gentleman recited a monody (an elegant and pathetic composition of his own) to the memory of Burns, with great effect. Others of the com pany recited or sung several of his esteemed and popular songs and compositions. One gentleman gave a song from the Mountain Bard's selection of pieces (Hogg's,) relative to the landing of Prince Charles in 1745, which commanded particular attention. The favour of a journey to Shields of her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland's Pipers having been obtained, their animated performances added a peculiar charm to the day. The dinner and wines slid credit to Mr. H. R. Rodchtm, and the company departed at a late hour, highly gratified. We re gret to state, that we have not received a report which we ex pected from the Sunderland Burns' Club.—(Durham Adver tiser, Feb. 2.) CONGRESS OF WELSH BARDS.-The ensuing Eislcddfod at Brecon, under the patronage of all the Nobility and Gentry in that part of the Principality, is expected to be one of the grandest meetings of the kind that was ever held.
