AMERICAN PAPERS.

Extract of a letter frost aarleston, Jan. 21.
" It is reported that the French Government has
determined to send Commissioners to Hayti, to treat
with the existing authorities there, and it isexpected
that our Government will take suitable measures
to secure every commercial prrivilege at that im-
portant island which may be granted to the French,
British, or any o.her nation."
FROM PensAirot,s, DEC 25.—We learn from
unquestionable authority, that the President the
united States appr:: ves the conduct of Governor
Jackson in the affair of Callava throughout; and
further, that the President considers Frimentitt's
jurisdiction exclusively confined to the laws in re-
lation to the revenue and slave trade
BoSToN, JAN. 15.—The navigation continues
open ; the ice has been driven out of the river by a
north-west wind ; all the outward-bound vessels
have sailed.
Ti,e friends of the late Napoleon Buonaparte, re-
siding in New Orleans, walked in procession on the
19th Dec. to the Catholic Church, which was hung
with black on the occasion, and a funeral service
was performed.

We find from the Dublin Papers that the enor-
milks in the South of Ireland still continue, and
with unabating fury. Other murders have been
committed, of a most inhuman and daring descrip-
tion. On Saturday se'nnight, so early as tour
o'clock in the evening, a man, of the mime of Shea,
was murdered in the town of Tipperary, by four
villains, who killed him with stones, and who es-
caped, though pursued by the officers of p Ike. The
servant of a magistrate was shot dead a few days
ago, near Garrantree Castle, in the county of Lime-
k, and it is rather remarkable that this is the
finirth murder committed at the same place, and
probably by the same parties. Fifteen Whiteboys
were tried and convicted in Cork on Tuesday week,
befitre the Special Commission, and on the day after
three others were found guilty. A daring attack
was made on Monday se'nnight on the barracks at'
Abbeyfeale, in the county of Limerick, by a nume-
rous body of insurgents, who soon demolished the
building. A meeting has been hcld by the magis-
trates, at which it has been unanimously resolved to
apply to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to place
the entire of the county under the provisions of the
Insurrection Act.—Sentence of death was passed on
Friday night, at Cork, on 35 Whiteboys, convicted
of crimes before the Special Commission. The
learned Judge Minuted to the delinquents that a
selection had been made of their casethat some of
theta were to undergo an ignominious death, at an
early day, and that the existence of the oihers
would be prolonged to a more distant period, and
if tranquillity was restored, and there was a sur-
render of arms, they would he soared. Bfolll the
present temper of the deluded peasantry, we fear
those to whom the learned Judge alluded retain
their lives on a slender and uncertain tenure. The
three men found guilty of the murder of Hugh
Cologan, on the day the Churchtown barracks were
burned, were ordered for exeeutiou ou Monday last.
At a meeting of the magistrates of the County of
Cork, it was agreed to send a memorial to the Mar-
quis Wellesley, flir the extension ut the Insurrection
Art to the entire county. The city magistrates
have agreed to make a similar request for the city.
The Dublin Evening PL/Si remarks, that the accounts
of outrages in the interior of Ireland are grossly
and shamefully exaggerated.
Saturday last the Special Commission in the City
of Cork closed hs labours, at least for the present,
and the judges took their departure, escorted by a
squadron of dragoons. On the same day a shop-
keeper of the name of Heffernan was tried tar having
sold gunpowder, knowingly for the use of the in-
surgents. He was convicted tat the evidence of a
witness employed fir the purpose of detecting him,
to whom he sold ganpowder and flints, as the pri-
soner supposed, fur the use of the Whiteboys. In
the course of the cross-examination of the witness.

Air. Connel endeavoured to extract from him, that
the whole was a plan to entrap Heffernan, in which
the learned counsel had no difficulty. The prisoner
was tried on the act of the !e7th of his late .Majesty,
which makes it criminal to take arias or levy mo-
ney, and equally criminal to sui.ply ammunition to
those who entertaihed such a purpose. It was a
crime pun;shable by death, as in cases of felony,
without benefit of clergy. The Attorney-General,
however concluded with observing, that it might
be contentla that the pi isoner's case did not come
within the meaning of the statute, as the ammuni-
tion in question had nut bc.tt in reality sold to the
Whitt:boys but to a person opposed to them. This
had originally created some doubts in his mind, but
they had been removed by his colleagues. The case
being proved in evinence, the prisoner was found
gtoity , but the court reserved the point for the
consideration of the twelve ju.lges. The case of
the uufurtunate ILffernan was the first that tied
been tried under the act.

CAIIIIIUDOIt COUNTY MEETINO.—A numerous
meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of Cam-
bridgeshire was held on Thursday last, pursuant to
a requisition to the High Sheriff; " to take into
consideration the present disastrous state of the
agricultural interest, and the propriety of petition.
ing Parliament fur Pryme moved
resolutions for a petition to Parliament for relief.
The Rev. G. A. Browne doubted the expediency of
a petition without Nome mention of reform. Mr.
F. K. Eagle, after a short address moved as an
amendment to the original resolution's—
That from what has taken place during the present and
preceding sessions, it is the Mut and decided opinion of this
meeting, that any petition to the Lower House of Parliament.
as, at present constituted, for relief from time difficulties under
which the nation is sinking, would be entirely vain and tiuit-
Mr. Sam. Wells seconded the amendment. Mr.
Beals read a letter written by the Duke ut Bedford,
in which the Noble Duke declared that it was useless
to petition the 1-1 use of Commons as it is now con-
stituted, fur their petitions were year after year
disregarded, and thrown aside as waste paper.—
The High Sheriff put the amendment, which was
carried by a considerable majority, coosequently the
resolutions for a petition fell to the ground. Thanks
were voted to the High Sheriff, who returned his
acknowledgments, after which the meeting was dis-
ked veil.
The Society of Ancient Britons dined on Friday

were sung. The healths of the Duke of Wellington,
the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord King, Lord Kenyon,
the Bishop of Chester, toe Vice-Presidents, and other
members of the society, were drunk, dud they seve-
rally returned thanks. Lord Kenyon, the treasurer,

halt of the charity that day, amounting aitogelher
to I,OISI. 19s. Shortly before ten o'clock time Pre-
sident retired. aril the chair Ives occupied by 1). F.
