MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

Duman Pontes ()tries.—On Saturday morning • Mr.
John Ileoulevek Tegjert, a lieutenant on half-pay, and a yarns
lad, Mr. Thomas LaiMeht West, son of a country elergyinau,
went out fishing in • gig boat, and when lying to in Poolbeg the
boat upset, and both were unhappily drowned. A rumour having
gone abroad that the boat was run down by a collier from Irwin,
called the James, and that the two unfortuncte gentlemen acre
abandoned to their miserable fate, without any exertions on the
I part of the master and crew of the James to save them, notwith-
standing their entreaties for help, Friday the friends of the de-
ceased had the master and pilot, together with the ship's crew,
bwought before the niagistratea of this of After a very strict
examination of the ship's people, separately and on "nth, it an •
reared that when within thirty yards of the boat they saw it upset,
in consequence of both the persona in it having gone to one tide,
and that the Captain cried out to the Pilot, " (sets( tiod, what can
we do to save them ;" but the Pilot replied, " they could do
nothing, for if they attempted to put about theywould loss the
vessel, and that the two persons were already gone." The Captain
also staid, that he never was so affected in his life as at seeing the
melancholy situation of the two persons, for it very forcibly reminded
him of an escape he himself had from a briny grave, by means
of a rope which, when he had risen a third time, quite exhausted,
he was able to catch between his teeth ; and he declared, with gres,e
apparent fiavnur and feeling, that lie would have willingly sacrificed
any personal comfort, or pecuniary advantage to have saved the
men, for, notwithstanding a long sea lite, they were the first he
ever saw hurried to eternity in that way. lie added, that in an
instant they lost sight of them as the vessel was going at seven
knots an hour. The Pilot. George laude, in answer to oeveral
questions as to why he made ro effort to save the gentlemen, re .
plied, that lie knew it would be of no use to endanger the vessel
and liver of the gee, as the vessel had but one anchor, and it
would not be sufficient to bold them, if they bought to, and then
they had no stern boat, the one on deck was tilled with lumber, and
by the time it would be emptied and lowered, he knew it would
be useless to look after the men in distress. If they had • boat at
the stern, he had no doubt but they might have saved the two per.
sons; but this tide was ebbing at four knots an Nibs, the wood
was blowing • brisk gale at S.S.IV., and if they bad put about
they would Mina have run on the Bun, or grounded until reset
tide, and if a gale of wind tame on in the mean time, they would
have been lost. The pilot added, that one of the persons appeared
to struggle for a little time.
The friends of the deceased observed, that Mr. Taggart
was an excellent swimmer, and knew well the management of
a boat.

It ass stated, that the master of a vessel, when he takes
on beard, ceases to have any controul or authority in the
norm or navigation of the vs-siel.
Alderman Fr.rart ma, after 'carious questions to the
crew, Who atm underavnt a WICK errs's-examination by t
of the deceased, said, that from the evittetce It appeared
tunate accident could not be attributed to the ves,(l. but

pearcel there was a total want of exertion on the part of e
.ave the pnor gcntlanen ; and whether what he advanced
fence might be a sufficient apology for such appartl.t
manity, he (the Alderman) wa► not siifficientiy
aifairs to be able to determine ; but he advised th, irterd%
der, ased to apply to the Ballast Board, who would t.a%c
sufficiently investigated.
The bodies of the unfortunate gentlemen hare Dot yet
covered.

The Paris Papers are filled with the details of the eerc•
ii4Uniell attendant on the accession of Cii ARLES X. As far
as we may venture to rely upon his Most Christian Ma-
, t NT 11.0 declarations, it appears to be his intention to follow
itt die path of his Royal predecessor. Indeed, in his answer
to the address of the Diplomatic Doily, the KIM) expressly
declare: that •' his only ambition is, that his reign may
I ^ regained as a continuation of his Brother's." Ihir
Cormpusidcnt at Paris, to whose letters we invite
Vie attention of our readers, has no confidence in the
wu•ds of the BoilasoN, and we regret to say that lie
gives too goon reasons fur his incredulity. The statements
11.. furnishes respecting the preternatural prolongation of
th • law Kt so's life, are deeply important. The extraor-
e'r acv suspension of all businen.; in the public funds is, it
r..st be confessisl, a measure of a very strange and suspi-
i character.

The Orangemen of Ireland, it would appear, are re-

and the known wishes of his M A 's Government;
and with curious infelicity they choose to bestir them-
selves in this daring and unlawful undertaking. at the
moment when the eyes of one of the X t ice's Ministers
arc necessarily fixed upon their proceedings. A grand
meeting of the Orangemen was held in Dublin on Tnurs-
day, and several new rules were passed for the regulation
of this fraternity. The office of Deputy Grand Master,
vacant by the resignation of Colonel BLACICEM, was filled
by the election of Mr. VEZNER. A project is said to be
entertained for the institution of two Grand Lodges, one
at Dublin and the other at Armagh. The Secretary
of the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. G ennui FeallONl, has
been appointed Grand Secretary, and every endeavour
has been made to give the Society the appearance of
being in a flourishing • condition. Unhappily for its
members, however, some facts have occurred which prove
that it Is nevertheless in a state of rapid decline, and
must perish at no distant date, under the just weight of
obloquy which oppresses it. Some Peers and Gentlemen
of distinction were requested to suffer their names to be
enrolled in the list of the Grand Committee. It is under-
stood that they generally declined the intended honour,
and one of them, Lord Warn i; y, with a becoming sense
of what was due to his station, sent a flat refusal, remind-
ing the Association at the same time that it was essentially
of an illegal character, and could " neither be counte-
nanced nor tolerated by the law of the land." The fol.

A highly respectable mercantile house in the City has
received despatches from Lima, dated the 4th of May,
from which we learn that at that period the Independent
squadron was closely blockading the port of Callao, and
that the Patriot army was at nu great distance. From these
circumstances it was inferred that • general action must
inevitably be fought within a short t• We are rather
inclined to believe, however, that this is a step, which,
under existing circumstances, Beat VAlt would be inclined
to avoid, as his army is neither so uu►nereus nor so well
found as that of his opponents, and 1w may annoy them
most effectually by harassing them with sudden and rapid
movements, in which species of warfare no General has
ever equalled him, ►►ut even NA FOLEON ; and, by adhering
to this course, he avoids all risk of the inconvenience to
which even a slight reverse would expose him. The Spa-
niards in Limit, in the 111(1111 time, are not idle; they are
actively employed in rutting the city in the b. st possible
state of deftuce, by repairing their fortifications, and erect-
is new works, which the presence of an additional force
will give Own; the power of garrisoning, so that au obstinate
resistance may be exp,•cted.
These warlike preparations have excited eoesitlerabk
alarm among the merchaws, who are losing no time in
shipping their gods on board of the vessels in the har-
bour, as the only place of security, should matters con►c to

PARIS, SUPT. I.

' The Authorities have at length thought proper officially
to announce the King's death. Their conduct, as it re-
gards this important event, has been most singular, and
has excited very extraordinary rumours, as well as a very
strong sensation in the higher political circles. His Ma-
jesty had certainly no orturard signs of li jr at three o'cl.fek
on Sunday morning (12th)—"' Se Alfgjesle Pica plus," was
literally the phrase of the Physicians; and aczonlit.gly, at
an early hour, the nest morning (Monday ), an order issued
from the Tuileries to close the Theatres, Me Lovvre, and
the Exchange (la Bourse), till further orders. To the
utter surprise of all Paris, the same day produced a
litmerri tr, signed by the Physicians, announcing aat his
Majesty's weakness was increasing, and that they were com-
pelled to abandon all hope of his recovery. This was fol-
lowed by Millet* others, in succession, in some of which
he was descriLl as takings solemn farewell of his family—
giving them his last blessing—receiving the Communion iu
the most devout manner—offering up his last prayers with a
most affecting tenderness for the happiness of his gond people
of France: and he was described, too, as doing all this with
perfect, calm, and pious resignation. While, in truth, the
Physicians who surrounded the Royal death-bed were all
this while produeing,every nom and then, a start of muscular
action, through the medium of GAl.rasctc row a, anal giving
his torpid and insensible frame an appearance of lilt and
pulsation, when all vital energy was to all intents and
purposes extinct. During this extraordinary interval, with
the Bulletins protracting his lip, while the closed doors of
all places of public amusement gave public tletymnstration
of his death, certain Afinisterial arrangements, if the last
importance ta those concerned, were going oa at the Palace ;
secret counsels were held, rom hour to hour, and dicers mat-
:wee prepared and digested, which are t., appeor imme-
diately on the accession of Mascot kr: a. 11' hat could justify
the issuing an order putting • stop to r.ll public
amusements, and, which was of infinitely more importance,
shutting up the Exchange, so that no money could be either
paid or received, no Cita bought or sold, n r (Inn business
transacted at the Bank of any kind. How long is this sus-
pension to continue? if not taken off it will bankrupt half
France in three weeks!! If Louts XVIII. did not die
during the night of Sunday, what could authorize the Mi-
nisters to act as they did, and to send out their orders
early next morning to enjoin the piddle testimonial' of the
fact, while at the same time they were suffering 111:1.I.L1INS
to appear, deceiving the public by statemetes fabricated for
the most sinister purposes, anal in which there was not one
word of truth? Such an ofhcial proceeding is without
precedent in the history of Cabinets, and without example
in the profligacy of Courts.
The Ministerial Papers are replete with melancholy de-
tails of the deep affliction of the good people of Paris at the
loss of their beloved Monarch, so truly termed by them
Louis le Desire. On the other hand, I send you the following
Epigram, which was yesterday Landed about in the
Salons and Cafes.

Tous Paris est en desarroi !

Craintlrait on pour les jours Roi ?
Non ; mais on craint ec rel ;canc.

You will not fail to remark in the official article in the
Munitear, that the Duke and Duchess of Allgouleine have
already assumed the title of M. le Dauphin and Madame
la Dauphine.
PARti, SEPT. 19.

The front of the Palace of the Tuileries is covered with
mourning. On Thursday, the deceased Monarch was ex-
posed in his shroud to the public, in the room in which
he died. This is the custom in France, that it may pub-
licly be known that the King is actually dead, and that he
has not been made, by sinister means, to give place to a
successor. The crowd assembled to gain admittance was
very great, but very few of the number were successful, as
only a few, who had previously obtained tickets, could gain
entrance. The upper part of the faco was all that was vi-
sible of the royal corps?, all the rest being enveloped in a
white bandage bound closely round the head. The fea-
tures were, of course, not seen; the face had so fallen
away, as to leave uo trace of the living Monarch. The
body is at present under the process of embalming, after
which it will lie in state,--such is the custom here,—fur
thirty-ono days; it will he, in ef?ect, a mere wax-work
figure ; the cheeks will be inflated to remove their haggard
appearance, and will be painted to prevent those revolting
feelings which In such a state will not always away—even
from royalty. All this reads a most useful lesson o: phi-
losophy, if those who witness the scene were wise enough
to profit by it. Death is a sad leveller, and preaches the
truths of equafity more potently with his scythe, than
monarchs can rebut them with the sceptre ; he mingles,
with infinite unconcern, the dust of royalty with the mould

It called for no common !hare of rfrrontcry to boast the

every article of every daily Parr, and every periodical
Magazine or Rt view that le ars the FlLL:est allusion to any
act of misgovernment, and that will not suffer the admis-
sion into them of any Ft:nth:lent that tends to cherish a
love fir truth or freedom, political or reli;tious. No lecture

is giving his subjects a strong dote to begin with.

ordered that the soldier, a royalist volunteer, who deParted
so far from his ditty, should be severely reprimanded.

General Mina is completely recovered frem the indispo-

to accept any remuneration. •
Saturday, General Michelena, the Envoy from Mexico,'
and his Seen tary, Mr. Rocafuerte, waited on Mr. Fletcher,
the agent of General Iturbide. The General, after inquir-
ing respecting the situation of the children of t kneed Itur-
bide, caressed his solicitude for their welfare: he had no
orders from his Government, but he would personally un-
dertake to defray their expenses, leaving them, neverthe-
less, subject to the disposition of Madame 'turbid*, lie
asked the annual charge, and said he would addredl a let-
ter to Mr. Fletcher to that effect ; and added, " I wish
them to have an education which will , liable them hereafter
to be useful to their country." It will be recollected that
General !tittle& left six children in England at school.
A letter, (lewd the 4th May, was vesterdey received
from the master of a British vessel at Callao, in which he
says. that there had been same skirmishing between the
Patrims and the Royalists, which was reported to have
ended in favour of the fernier, and that Bolivar, with
the tnaM holy of his army, was within one day's march
of hints. Admiral Guise was at the above date oft Callao.
Nl'e have received New York Papers to the era ult. hat
they contain no news of any interest. They are chiefly
tilled with details of La Fayette's movesnents. The in-
telligence of Ithrbide's having landed in Mexico, was
known at New York on the gith ; but not the events that
followed.
Letters were receives' yesterday from the Ilavanna,
dated August Leo, containing some further particulars of
the arrest and execution of Iturbide. It appears that Bur-
bide, with a view to prolong the period essignesl for his
death, and thus afford an opportunity fora rescue by his
friends, hail requested to be slot at Padilla, instead of the
lelace at which he was arrested. According to one of the
tters the conduct of General Garza, by whom Iturbide
.vas select', was marked with the greatest treachery ; the
ex-Emperor having been taught to expect the co-opera-
tion of this General, who owed his fortune in the province
and his military promotion to hut bide. The news of
turbide's fall had produced little sensation in the liavanna,
but the Royalist party there pretend to have positive in-
formation, that if he had landed in Mexico, as the repre-
sentative of Ohl Spain, several of the men now in power II
would have assisted him. We do not think the censures
on Garet should be admitted as worth azzything without
much better evidence than the letters of dissipation d par-
tisans. Gam, us his lams chew, was not willing to
execute I tin bide.
The Moniker of Thursday contradicts the rumour

M. de Chawanbriatal has published a pamphlet on the
death of Louis XVII I. which, to say the least of it, is in
had taste. It lands the late King to the skies, but takes
care also to oar the earliest and the strobgest incense to
his succeseor. Speaking of Charles X. the ex-Minister
says, " Your eyes rest with complacency and love on that
Prince, who preserves in the maturity of age the beauty
and detrznee of youth." An allusion to Louis XVI. is
more censurable, for the ex-Minister has the impiety to as-
sert, that at his death there was the same darkness as
covered Jerusalem at the Cnwitision.". . _ .

Hutu Frew au:ay.—The fishing wherries from Rush,'
Skerrica, and Balbriggan, have returned from the fishery,
laden gun-deep, with hearings of the finest quality. This
is the ea:lie.•st return ever lnow•u—hitherto these vessels,
going out on the bounty, seldom returned for several
wombs later: and then roost frequently with deficient or
nominal cargoes. The greaternuniber of those vessels will
again return to the fishery, after di•:barging their cargoes,
and thus realise donide produce. This early and prosperous
result is prine!pady owing to the very outfit of the
excellent vess:lE behinging to these La:hours, which outfit
the bounty, so wisely granted by Parliament for the en-
couragement of the Irish fishery, enabled these poor but
valuable ssmteiett to aceonipl ish.
