To THY tamiloi or Tart

Sir—On my arrival In Limerick, I was not a little surpriaed to find
that placards were posted up through this city, annted by • person
named Walcott, declaring that the approaching emigration to Equa.
doe was neither mare nor less than a military expedition, destined to
fight in on unwholesome climate. Mr. Wolcott ankh*, that he a se-
cretary to a government commintion for emigration. Now, if this be
the cane, I tannin a little astonished that n person better acquainted
with common geography and statistics wait not selected for
that pint, and that one en indiscreet, an to venture ao
groundless an Inuendo, should be Poked upon us fitting
to fill so important a situation. I my this advisedly :
fur it 3L'ullogh, Ilumbolt, or even Brookes, hod been consulted, he
would have found that Equador biscuit the finest and met salubrious
climate in the world. 'lad he referred to myself, or any of the other
gentlemen going out (many of whom hold stating in the world too
high to lend their names to env deceit) he would have found that we
do wt, a. settlers to a new country, accompanied by agrhulturi.ts and
mechanics, fitted to improve and radar a grateful roil. My determina-
tion to settle in Equisclor is not of reci nt d. te. the pmsent pro.
jest of filling this krtile and splendid country with British net.
Urn is not an idea of yesterday. I have been In cones.
pondenoe on the subject now above twelve months, and ft is on
no haste or illsligested reaolution that myself and fellow.emi.
gran* hat,- made up our minds to try a new world, where the
common csautorts, at land, ore within every one's reach,
tool where the scourge of fanzine (which now, unhappily, threatens
this country 1 unknown. I, therefore, have, by hand-bills, invited
every Irishman al gloat character (agrieithorists and mechanics
alike) to come out with toe- not as soldiers (as designing persons
would lead them to .apprise)—tat a the objets of anon, mous or
sordid specohttion (as ignorant peewits have eel forth), hulas moral
and baril.working inhabitants of a soil which requires but industry
and good will to render it the moist flourishing spot on the globe.
Nature has done all idle can —it Is left to us to prove (under Provi.
deny) that we can, and will, do the test.—l have the honour to be,
sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM OGILVIE, Bart.—Limerick,
October IS?' _

Sir W. Ogilvie, you will perceive, makes no mention of
the four thousand stand of arms, at 14s. each, manufactured
at Birmingham, and which mighthave been included among
the " tools and implements" of the mechanics and agricul-
turalists in question. All vessels fitted out in the united
kingdom for the South American " Patriot Services" have
adopted a similar process. The frigate that carried out a
Mexican ambassador with an armed force (his Excellency
General Michellens) passed in the docks in London as a
Danish merchantman, called the Aryl l'rimden' or crowned
Prince. and had a Danish merchant captain on board when
she sailed out. But no sooner was the frigate in blue
water " than down went the Danish tiag, and up went tho
Mexican eagle-and-serpent; and down below went the
Danish merchant captain, while the command was assumed
by nn English post captain on half-pay, the Artie Priasien
being at the same time newly christened as La Libertad.
Does Sir William Ogilvie imagine these little manceuvree
are not known ? _ _

THE WEATHEE.—There hat been great abundance of rain
lately, and with a mild and almost a warm temperature this
morning. About half-past three p.m., there was a storm of
thunder and lightning, the lightning very vivid, and the
thunder apparently near.
THu MARQUIS or WtoynnaTu.—This nobleman, from
whom a recent letter has appeared deprecating the idea that
Irish tenants should be forgiven any portion of their rents
this year, has demanded of a lady, having a mortgage
on his estate for 12,0001., that an abatement equal to twenty-
five per cent. should be made th. noble debtor this year, in
consequence of the calamity which has fallen on the country.
