~ We are sorry to -find, by private. Letters from Ire,.
land, that the Enemies of the Union are making gle
most strenuous exertions, in different Corporations in
Dublin and in the Country, to procure Addresses to
Parliament against that-tnea.iure. We trust, however,
that those Members of the present Administration,
who were hostile to that measure origintally., will not-
now give ahy encouragement to discussions which
can only tend to excite disaentions and national
animosity.

WE stated same days ago, that the embarkation
of the remainder of the British Troops that were on
the Continent would take place about the 12th, and
consequently they may be daily ea pe6ted home.—
Nine Transports, having on board part of the Ger-
man Legion and of the 14th Regiment, arrived in
the I-lumber on Wednesday,

WE have still to regret the non-arrival of the
HamburghAils, pr of any intelligence from the
continent.

Yesterday morning the Princesses ATT;USTA, So-
Nita, and AMELIA. attended by General MANNERS,

Her MAJESTY and the other PRlNCEssres, in two
carriages and four, took an airing by Englefield

view with Mr. GREY, at the Admiralty.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Ad-
miralty, brought by the Weymouth Frigate, ifrom
Sir Epw4Rrp PELLEW, and Sir THO.NIAS TROU-
pRIDGE.

Mr. COOKE, to the regret of all who know his
talents and great official experience, as well as dis-
tinguished private worth, retires from the War and
Colonial Department. We have, however, some
consolation for such public a loss in knowing,that his
successor is to be Sir GEORGE SHER. . _

The,Dutchess of GORDON had a grand route,
last night, at her house in St. James's-square
every arrangement that taste and liberality could dic-
tate was made for the reception of her Grace's com-
pany

PRIVATE LETTER FROM DUBLIN, FEB. 10.

" Mr. RYAN, at whose house, in Marlborough-
street, the meetings- of the Roman Catholic Commit..
tee were held; wrote to Mr-Fox, congratulating
him on his accession to political power, and hoped
that he would not forget his friends the Irish Ca-
tholics, who had always supported him. Mr:
Fox answered the letter rather in a general manner,
thanked the Gentleman for his congratulation ; said,
,that in or out of office, he would not forget the
Irish Catholics, and. that Mr. RYAN :might -make
what use.he should think proper of his letter.
" Lord REDESDALE will give his.farewell dinner
on Wednesday next, on which day the arrival-of
Mr..PO&;SONBY is expelcd.
" Lord HARDWICKE'S Suite-am this day embark-
ingfor England."

•On opening the vault belonging to the family of
J. NORRIS, Esq. in'the Church of St. Peter's Man-
croft, Norwich, on Monday se'nnight, a live Bat
was found therein, of a greyish colou'r, whereit had
probably laid in a torpid state, a solitary companion
for the dead, more than 32 yeais,' the distance 'of
time since the 'vault *as before opened. The Bat
afterwards survived and flew away.

Mr. M-, a young- man of fashiodo undertook
to walk from Hyde Park Corner to the five mile
stone at,Turnham-Green, in fifty-five minutes. The
wager, which was for.a considerable sain, was de-
cided dal Wednesday last in favour of the undertaker;
lie came in at the winning post, in abOUt one minute
and,a half of the limited time.

PARTICULARS OF THE ,LOSS OF THE MARIA

TRANSPORT.

.
We give the following particulars, on the atithoir-
ty of Capt. JONES, an incorre& account having ap-
peared
The Maria Transport struck on the Southern
Haaks off the Texel, between twelVe and one o'clock
of the morning of the 'l3th December. Capt.. JONES
was saved by having been sent in a boat to find the,
shore and gain assistance; about seven o'clock on
the 14th of December he was conveyed in a Fish-
ing-boat to Admiral K 1 CKERT'S Ship, who imme-
diately sent off boats to take
,the soldiers, but un-
fortunaiely the Ship sunk in the sands before they
could get to her. On the Dutch Pilot sounding ever
*tile Wreck the folloWing day, she had 18 feet of wa-
ter over her hulk. The Dutch Admiral treated Cap-
tain J. in the kindest and most humane manner,
supplying him with money and clothes, and chew-
ing every attention which could alleviate his dis-
tressed situation.
