THE Bityntsti

LONDON,
MONDAY, Fasaukav 18.

The Irish Government appears to be aftive in its
preparations against invasion. A- -letter from our
Dublin Correspondent, of the lath, says :
"Orders have just been forwarded from Dublin, to have the
guard-rooms at the signal poets, at Mizell Head, Brow Head,
Bear Island, Toe Head, and Black Ball Head, tutimeliately
fitted up for the accommodation of the Yeomanry detachments,
which have occupied these stations fur some days pa.t, though
the buildings are stilt in an unfinished state. From the great
exertions, however, which are making at the part of Govern-
ment, it is expected that they will all in a very short time be
completed
" The weather last week was very boisterous. Several ves-
sels have been damaged, and two on Thursday night were lost
outside of the bay, the entire crews of which perished. For
three or four days st.ccessively, the Holyhead packets could not
pin the harbour, but were obliged to put in at Howtb, where
*ay landed their Mails.
"In the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday se'imight,
a plea was put in to the Habeas Corpus, moved in the case of
Mr. Justice Johnson. It was over-ruled, and on Mooday his
Counsel were to argue that he should be discharged upon ball.
On Monday, however, they reverted to the plea, which was
over-rule., a second time, and the rest of the day was consumed
in argnment by Mr. Striven, upon the general question. Toes
day, being the last day of term, the Court was occupied with
other business, and did not go into the case of Mr. Justice
johrison. Of course he remains in custody ti I the next term.
It it the gametal opinion, that his state of health will probably
prevent arty farther discussion of the business."

We understand, that, in addition to 2 millions
and a half, the declared amount of the Vin, one mil-
lion more is to be borrowed in Ireland for the service
of that part of the kingdom. It is also probable that
A farther sum of 4,000,000 and a half, at least, will be
wanted to pay off the Loyalty Loan. Of theadchtional
ways and means to meet this sum nothing has been
yet declared by the Minister, except an increase of
about a million and a half to the war taxes. It was
after three o'clock on Friday,. before the amount of
the loan was known on 'Change, and the Minister
will not receive any bidding this morning after ten
o'clock. By this judicious arrangement. the gam-
bling generally pradised between the declaration and
the bidding, will be defeated.

Some interesting intelligence from lniia is givsn
in • subsequent column.

It is finally determined, that Admiral COCHRAN I
is to succeed to the command on the Leeward
Island station.
Ensvalso S. Lets, Esq. Secretary to the Kish
Post office, has been busily employed her. for several
months past, making new arrangements for that
department. Several new mails and new provincial
offices are to be established.
The Majors of Brigades to the Volunteer Dis-
triEts have been discontinued, and their ditty is its
future to be done by the respeCtive Field Officers.
A plan, we understand, is in contemplation to
make the Volanteers take their turn of military duty,
as performed by the Regulars. in their respeCtive
distriets.
The est:sedition which was to have sailed from
Portsmouth appears to have been abandoled for
the present. although a number of transpiti conti-
nue at that harbour, in a state of complete prepara-
tion.
It is said, that a redntlion is immediately to take
place in the sixteen garrison battalions ; and that out
of these three battalions will be composed, which
are to be given to Generals V austie A sr, ROBIN-
SOP', and Matti *No, at Portsmouth; another at
Plymouth ; and a third at Sheerness It is suppos-
ed that the Field Officers and Staff of these three
battalions will be appointed according to their rank
in the Reserve; it is said, that those officers with
temporary rank ale to retire without half pay.
By the death of the much lamented Mr. 'f most-
SON, a very warm contest is likely to ensue for
the vacant Leaureship of St. George's parish,
Hanover-square. Messrs. Fosrrß and CANNON,
having delicately withheld their solicitations until
the melancholy opportunity actually offered itself,
certainly deserve the most attention.
On Wednesday last, his Grace the ARCHBISHOP
Eleft arrived at Norwich, from London. His re-
turn was announced by the ringing of St. Peter's
bells ; arsd, on Friday, about two o'clock. the
Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, the Recorder,
Steward, Etc. proceeded in state from the Guild
Hall to the Bishop's Palace, where Mr. Recorder
H ARVI it delivered an elegant Address of Congratu-
lation to the ARCHBISHOP, on his translation to the
metropolitan see of Canterbury, to which his Grace
returned a dignified answer. The Mayor and Cor-
poration afterwards partook of an elegant cold col-
lation. The Clergy, on Saturday, paid their re-
specs to the Atic:n BISHOP j and yesterday his Grace
preached his farewell sermon at the Cathedral.
