IRELAND.

DOILIO, OCT. 25.
The remains of the illustrious Leinster were this
day interred in the vault of his ancestors at Kild.ire.
The funeral procession was attended by a number
of gentlemen, and by a numerous tenantry, whose
countenances told their grief most forcibly.
The hearse was ornamented with a variety of es-
cutcheons, and the whole scene presented a combi-
nation of ailliaitlg recolleetions which create sorrow,
unmixed with affeetation, guile, or
The number or persons who left Dublin to attend
the funeral was immense.
We hear, his Grace's executors are his two much-
esteemed brothers, Lords Henry and Robert Fits-
geral, and his son-in-law, Mr. Henry.
At the Quarter Session Court, on Tuesday last,
Mr. Pounden, one of our worthy late High Sheriffs,
as Foreman of the Grand Jury, stated to the Bench,
that the City Marshalsea is at present in such a ru-
inous state, as threatened its immediate prostration,
and destruction to the lives of its unfortunate Ulla-

bitants.
At an interview, with which his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant honoured the Yeomanry Captains
Of this City on Monday last, his Excellency was
pleased to acquaint them that it had been detetasined
to exercise the several Yeomanry Corps for four
days in each month, under Inspeaing Field Officers
with the rank of Lieut. ('ol.

Judge Downes, and family ; Lord hief Baron
Avonmore, and family ; Col. Hamilton and suite.

Guild of St. Luke, dined, according to annual

of every rarity in season ; amongst the visitors
were the Lord Mayor, Mr. John Latouche, Mr.
Robert Sbaw, Ice. the utmost conviviality prevailed,
and the company separated at an advanced hour.

Cots, OCT. '26.
The 15th and 9Gth Regiments of Foot, now
quartered in this city. are waiting in daily expec•
ration of the transports designed to carry them t)
the West Indies. Their destined embarkation ap-
pears to be a matter of general regret to the inha-
bitants of this city, who feel how much pleasure
they have gained in their society, and how much
they are to lose by their departure. , The steady ap-
pearance avid condua of the gtith in particular,
must, at all times, create an interest in the heart of
every one. These gallant veterans, " who have
long borne the heat and burden of the day," are
going to a climate, often, alas! fatal to young
c•sostittttions. They have, however, the consola.
ton of looking back to their former services with
sitistaelion. Their view torwaid Mast be con-
du red by fate, or, in other words, by the fortune
of war.
The ladies of Cove and she adjacent country
look forward with anxiety to the approaching win-
ter, as the depredations of the Mosquitoes, since the
arrival of the last West India fleet, have given them
very serious uneasiness. It was instinlive in these
little animals, on arriving in a country so much
colder than their own, to seek a situation congenial
to their natural warmth. and under the blare of
charms, and on the blushing cheeks of beauty, so
conspicuous in the fair Irish women, have found a
relief sufficient to keep them alive—many of them
during the space of several months.
The postboy conveying the mail from Ballinadoe
to Louglirra, on the night of the 19th inst. was
stopped, at about half an hour after two o'clock, on
the Lands of Drought, by three men (one of whom
was armed with a pistol), who robbed him of the
mail, containing the bags of letters which were dis-
patched from hence on Thursday, the 18th in. t. toe
Loughrea, Con, Athenry, and Galway.

Yesterday, the Right Non. the Loan MAYOR or-
demi the price of bread to be raised to one shilling
and one penny farthing the nostrum loaf wheaten,
and eleven-pence three fat things household.
Lord Dv:savages two fine troops of yeomanry
cavalry last week entered upon permanent duty at
Pembroke for ten days.
The %Varwickshire Militia, commanded by Lord
liso.occ, son of the Earl of Watwtcrc, matched
yesterday through Chatham, on their route la
Chelmstord, where they are to go into winter
quarters.
The crew of the Psyche French privateer, that
captured the Advert-di Apisy, are composed of all
mations ; and we are sorry to learn, that between
twenty and thirty of them are English; two are
said to have been formerly in the pilot service at
Bengal.
On Monday morning, an American brig made
unto Weymouth in distress, having lost her rudder,
and sustained confider able other damage. Ihe :well
w•as so extremely great in the Bar, that the bathit7
tr,.tchilies were obliged t ) removed a consider-.
able distance upon the shore, to avoid being dashed
to pieces by the surf.

I have the honour to acqoaint you, that at day-

Hazard, I was joined by the Dispatch (that hail
separated tr .m me in a short gale) and two French
gun-vessels ot.t of four, captured the morning be-
fore. For the pa:ticular. of which I beg leave to
refer to Capt. Hawkins's letter.
I consider it fortunate the vessels taken by the s'
Dispatch were destroyed, as it v. a: hardly possible
su:h vessels (altbonsh new and very fine o: the
sort) could have been kept above water in such
weather as we had last night and this morning. -

Nos. 315 and 951, armed with two brass guns, one 1
thirty.two and one six-pounder, and twenty soldiers
each, from Odierne bound to Brest, but had been'
blown off the land the day before. About one the
