B. nkTIWRST bronght up the Report of the Seeret Com-
mittee, to whom the contents of the green bag, laid on the table by
lord Castlereagh had been referred.
The Report was read by the ( lerk.-1 It is little mere than a
second edition of that which emanated tnan the f mon:Once of the
Lords—:-nd after staling the stone facts, us proofs °I'M,: insurrection-
ray spirit of the people, draws the came Atainclusion„ and recom-
mends a continuance of the law for stopending the liberty of the

• " Your Committee have thus given thtir opinion, without any
anxiety either to extenuate or exairsterate t:,e real state of the coun-
try ; 'lra.; they are rot unaware of the doubts that might be thrown
cryttie evidence of persons formerly iraplicattllia these crimes, or of
•persons exciting their continuance for their private objects.—They
feel that in many instances the Language and conduct of such per-
sors have encouraged- the de<igns which they were only the Maim-
nients of detecting.—The number of persons implicated in those
proceedings multi not be estimated from the exaggerated statements
of their own delegates, but it was certain they all looked to London
'tor enoouragoinent and assistance. In the insurrection in Derby-
byline, the people generally expreaxl the greatest abhorrence of
crash outrages. and in all other pluce,; whertaer they were summoned
in support of the civil power, they obeyed the call of alacrity, and
had of themselves uniformly furnished the most effictual protection
to the country.--Yratr Committee however are of opinion, that the
trarivillity of the country wouldie put to hazard it the extraordin-
reuy I,osctlS ested in the Crown sh iuld be no withdrawn. and with
every reliance on the loyalty of the people, they do not think it safe,
in the present circumetances of the country, to rely for protection on
the ordinary powers of the law."

The following is etraeted from the Waterford Mirror of
June 1.1 :—"-Irtnn an apprehension of scarcity, the South of
Ireland has for it week, been in *ferment. .In. Cork,
lime-
rick, Kilkenny, Tealee, 10 tingarvaa, and Water Atrd, the
acme effects have almost the SAM" instmit produced the same
muses. To Cloture! we arc happy to pay the deserved coin-
pliment of superior foresight, for having prevented such scenes
-hy a timely renewal o$ t:abseriptions ; the too n of Tipperary
is, in a great ote,roire, entitled to the same credit, tout it may
in general be said that the entire .connty has pet••crved itself
front the temptation of disturbance and the contagion of ex-
ample. The narrative of the week is pretty mock the same for
all the ,roues of distorhanee, riot, danitor, subseriptiou, and
tranquilityi have every where Cottontail in resolar succession,
although not o very where at ,equalltriods. The violence has
leen greatest at Cork, where capisl informations have been
sworn against 23 prisoucts ; owl wt Limerick where two men
were woundesl by mite milisasy. arise object of the populace
was rather •to detain theta to plunder provisions. It seems,
however, that, .though provisions may.rate high, still abwn-
dance, or, at least a full sufficiency es i:43,and, by the season-
able and of aubsCtiptionb, the zubsistuttc of thesout has been
tsgado sure.
