VIENNA, DEC. '29.—Since the arrival of the
last courier from Constantinople, fresh hopes
have been formed of the preservation of peace
between Russia and the Porte. It is firmly be-
lieved that, according to the proposed arrange-
uwrlts, the Turks will evacuate Walachia and
ivloldavia, and accede to the other conditions
proposed by Russia. There are per:ions vho
pretend that the Russian Ultimatum has been
accepted with some modifications ; but the
silence. of our journals induces us to await the
confirmation of this news.—( Universal Gazette.)
On the 12th, the ratifications of the treaty
concerning the free navigation of the Rhine were
exChatiged at Dresden, in the house. of Count de
Palfy, our Envoy to the Court of Saxony. The
execution of the treaty will commence from the
Ist of March, 1822.
OnEssA, Dec. 16..—We have received letters
from Constantinople of the 9th of this month.
They announce that the Ministers of the Porte,
;ter having received the memoir Of Lord Strang-
ford, who since its transmission had frequent
conferences with the Reis Effendi, have suddenly
changed their language, and manifested senti-
ments of a more conciliatory nature than those
expressed by them at the close of November.—
Lard Strangford has again acquired great in-
fluence with the Divan, and negociations have
recommenced; yet it will be a difficult matter,
in the opinion of many, to terminate this affair
amicably.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 4.—lt is asserted that the
King of Wurtemburg is to repair immediately
to Petersburgh.—[Here follows a blank, the con-
tents of which are suppressed by the Censorship.'
—The Polish soldiers are full of ardour for the
cAlise of the Greeks ; but nothing can equal the
eri'.husiasm of the ladies of -Warsaw.

They write front Vienna that the Paellas of
Orsowa, Widdiri, and Belgrade, are actually in
correspondence with the Austrian military autho-
rities, to whom they communicate the oflicial news
which reaches them from Constantinople. it has
been a matter of surprise that the Authian
which plblishes all news favourable to
Turks, should have been quite silent on the
d'it;patJtcs received by Prince ,Nietternich on the
c27th December from Baron Lebzeltern, the Aus-
trian Minister at Petersburgh.
TRIESTF, DEC... 23.—A report from Corfu,
which wants confirmation, says that Sir Thomas 111
Gooder,. the Commandant of Tripolizza, has
been poisoned and is dead. The poison was
prepared by an enemy.
NriREMBERG, JAN. 2.—We learn from the
Frontiers of Italy that the whole of Northern
lhania has revolted from the Turks and pro-
c.iaimed its independence.
VENICE, DEC. 23.—The sentence returned in
the thi-rd instance by the Senate of Lombardy,
against 31 individuals, accused of having conspir-
ed. as Carbonari against the Government, is pub-
ished, the result or. which is as follows:

Sobe:a, (Judge) at Lovera ; Forest', ditto, at
Crispino ; Munari, Villa, Bachiega, l'Abbe For-
tin;, Count Oroboni, Marquis Canonici, Delfini,
Cecchetti, Monti, and caravieri, have
ail
.been condemned to death for high treason.
The nineteen others accused have been acquitted
of the same accusation, but have been condemned
to one, four, and six months' imprisonment, for a
transgression against the police laws of the king-
'dom.—On the 29th of October, the Emperor of
Austria confirmed the sentence, but under the
title of indulgence, commuted to several years of
,imprisonment in irons the sentence of death against
Bachiega, Fortin', Oroboni, Canonici, Del-
. fini, €linaldi, Cecchetti, Monti, and Caravieri.
Thw,p who are foreigners are to be banished from
the Austrian dominions after suffering their sea-
, tence.—As to the three others condemned to
death, viz.—the two Judges Sobera and Foresti,
and Munari, his Majesty, by a new decision,
dated the 11th of December, has in like way
commuted their sentence, under the. title of
pardon,, to twenty-one_ years' imprisonment in
irons, which they are to' endure'in the Castle of
Spielberg, where the first mentioned individuals
are to,:be confined 10 years each. Those con-
demned to the lesser punishment will be shut up
in the,castle of Laybach.
Tke commis4ion is at present occupied with the
process against several other Italians, suspected
ert`Carbonarisrn, -and who have been arrested at
Milan and other cities.

FRONTIERS OF ITALY, DEC. 27.—The'report
is renewed that Patras has been taken by the
'l,lreeks by storm. It is certain that an English
vessel has brought the news of the taking of
' Canea (in the district of the same name in the
island of Candia) by the Creeks. The fall of
the capital, which is also blockaded ou the sea
side by'llydriot vessels, is inevitable.

AMSTER DAM, JAN. 3.-A brig bearing the
Fmaiish. flag stranded. yesterday morning near
Kykditin,..tinder the jurisdiction of the Helder
and Huisduinen. The crew is supposed to have

perished. A boat has been driven on shore with
the name " Heron" painted on it, and also a par-
cel of goods, consisting of bales of cotton, marked
S. P.; some hales of cocoa and cinnamon, Marked
with a square (or lozenge,) with a W. in the
middle. The whole is put under the strictest
quarantine.

SPAIN.
MADRID, DEc. 30. —The Provincial Deputa-
tion, the Magistrates, and the National Militia,
have addressed the following Representation
" TO THE CORTES.
_

" The Provincial Deputation of Cadiz, which
was lately under the disagreeable necessity of
interrupting the labours of the National Con-
gress, to state the complaints and the fears of
this province, and of all the Spanish people, now
raises with the most lively joy its voice towards
that same Congress to manifest sentiments of per-
sonal gratitude and, at the same time, of public
gratitude, for the- decision of the 15th current.
That determination has calmed the distrust of
the friends of just liberty, has dissipated the ge-
neral disquietude, and fixed the fate of the coun-
try by assuring its safety. The nation was about
to be plunged into the abyss of discord, when
the august voice of the fathers of the country,
pointing out to the Monarch the danger towards
which he was conducted, spewed him the only
means by which he could avoid the precipice,
and preserve untouched the precious deposit of
a power no less necessary for sustaining the dig-
nity of the Government, than for maintaining
the order and obedience of subjects.
" ' The present Ministry does not possess the
necessary moral force.'—Such is the declaration
of the supreme oracle of the nation. This is a
sentence of reprobation, from which there is no
appeal, stamped on the Ministers ; and it is also
the justification of the grounds on which the
province of Cadiz was alarmed, and the Autho-
rities were compelled to act. A Ministry which
has lost the auxiliary force of opinion, is no
longer capable of directing the State. It
could not compel obedience, even if it pos-
sessed the physical force which it wants, for
it is impossible to govern twelve millions of men
by a perpetual constraint against their judgment
and their desires. And what moral foree can
men destitute of esteem, accused and rejected by
the opinion even of those who have to obey their
orders, possess ? If without this moral forCe the
Ministry cannot, as has been declared by the
Cortes, neither successfully direct the Govern-
ment of the nation, nor maintain and cause to be
respected the dignity and prerogatives of the
Throne, it is fit that such a Ministry should be
displaced from the helm of the State, and its re-
moval is justly demanded.
" Nevertheless, the first applications addressed
to the Throne, the avenues to which were shut by
Ministers, being disregarded—the represen-
tations addressed to the Permanent Deputation
having had no effect, as no decision could be ob-
tained until the meeting of the next legislature
—what resource remained for the people and the
magistrates, w hen they could not address them-
selves to the Extraordinary CortesOliat assem-
bly being limited to the objects for which they
were convoked ?—that alone which they finally
adopted—doubtless a melancholy resource, but
inevitable if the state was not to be abandoned
to the perils which menaced it—namely, to sus-
pend obedience to orders %vhich appeared sus-
picious.

" This opposition was the only means for de'-
feating measures which might he fatal to public
liberty, and for making the Ministers feel their
weakness, whereby they might be induced to
prevail on the Monarch to refer to the judgment
of the Cortes, in which safety could alone be
found. Without resistance—not to the Throne,
but to the Ministers—even though the distrust
of their intentions had not been well founded, it
is at least certain that the conflict of passions,
the division of parties, the inefficacy of the
orders of authority, popular anarchy, and all the
calamities it produces—calamities recognized by
the determination of the Congress—would never
have been stopped, or at least would have long
continued. Such has been the only object of
the Authorities in their decisions and ad-
dresses, and not the ambition of possessing an
authority which they never could wish to main-
tain against the Government of the nation, nor
the desire to show a spirit of disobedience to the
King, whom they have sworn to defend, and
whom the Constitution recognises. This object
has happily been fulfilled; it will always justify
the spirit which has animated `the Authorities of
Cadiz, though they have had to depart from the
legal path which the Ministry had closed to en-
trench themselves within it.

" Placed between the people and the throne,
how could the Authorities of the province stifle
the fears and the clamours of those who were
appointed to govern, without thereby forcing
them to provide for their own security, and to
seek themselves the remedy which their Magis-
trates had refused them ? Cadiz saved herself.—
Cadiz has preserved order amidst agitations ; not
a single drop of blood has been shed in Cadiz,
because the Authorities listened to, and shared
the wishes of the people—they acted in the place
of the people, in order to preserve their re-
pose. The blood which has flowed in the provin-
ces where the Authorities have been silent, in
the provinces from which the Chiefs most distin-
guished for their patriotism and courage have
been removed, is a painful but incontestable tes-
timony that the Magistrates of Cadiz were not
deceived as to the grounds of their complaints,
and their resistance to the admission of Chiefs
who would have exposed this province to the
same disasters.

" Cadiz wants nothing more than the Consti-
tution. Never will it disgrace the glory of hav-
ing been the cradle of liberty, and the safety,
plank in the shipwreck of the country. If ene-
mies raise their heads in the other provinces-;-if
they dare. to trample under foot the sacred com-
pact of our alliance and our prosperity, all the
inhabitants of the province of Cadiz are ready to
fly to its defence—to seal it with blood—to
punish the aggressors, and to prove in the face
of the whole world that their actions never have
had, and never can have, any other object than

the support and defence of the Constitution and
the Monarchy.
" Invoked by the people, and impelled by the
opinion of the province, the authorities of Cadiz
agreed on the 17th of November not to obey
orders transmitted by the Ministry, when these
orders should be of a nature calculated to com-
promise public tranquillity. This resolution,
which was necessary for the preservation of the
laws and of the Constitution itself, the empire of
which was about to disappear amidst disorders,
cannot be disapproved by the Congress, charged
sovereignly with the maintenance of the laws.
and the Constitution. The Ministry once re-
moved, and confidence restored, the province of
Cadiz and its Magistrates will manifest, as they
always have done, their obedience to the consti-
tuted Government, NV ithout any of the contra-
dictions or reserves which could alone be dic-
tated by the fear of once more beholding the de-
struction of the code of their liberty, the defence
of which is the first duty which their oaths
impose upon them.

Cadiz, Dec. 21.

Intendant ; Xavier Isturiz, Dzputy ;

chim Abreu, Deputy ; Joachim .306 e

Letters from Seville of the 22d announce tha
the new Political Chief Sebastian had arrived in
that city, with the orders of the King. General
Velasco assembled the Chiefs of the different
corps, and told them he was ready to resign the
command ; but the former Political Chief, Esco-
bedo, was of opinion, that he ought to wait for the
answer to the last representation from the_town ;
upon which Sr. Sebastian quitted the assembly,
saying lie saw very clearly that they ware not
disposed to give up the command to him, of
which he would apprize the King. In fact, the
command was not given up to him, and the for-
mer authorities continue in their situations.

In the Sitting of the 28th the Cortes acknow-
ledged the presentation of the Address of the
Constitutional Municipality of Cadiz (see above) ;
also of another Address from the National Guard
of Cadiz, and of a third representation from the
Constitutional Municipality of Seville.
The Political Chief of Valencia has published
a proclamation on occasion of the late events in
that capital, in which he advises loyal citizens
not to take part with the small number of fac-
tious who are incessantly engaged in disturbing
the public tranquillity. Letters from Valencia
of the 24th affirm that the garrison did not sign
the two representations transmitted during the
days of anarchy ; but that its spirit is excellent,
and that it will not lend itself in any way to the
intrigues and private designs of the disaffected.
The Serjeants, Corporals, and privates of
the Regiment of the Princess, in garrison
at Cadiz, have denounced to the King and the
Commandant General at Cadiz an officer of their
regiment who had tampered with them to slan-
der some individuals who enjoyed deservedly the
good opinion of the public.

The second battalion of the regiment of Espana
marched into Cadiz on the night of the 20th.—
The arrival of this regiment, whose spirit is ex-
cellent, has tranquillized many persons who were
alarmed at the scandalous scene of the 16th, in
which a small body of men dared to assume the
name of the people, and to consider it as an in-
sult that the legitimacy of its representation
should be doubted.

Several reports on the- operations of the co-
lumns destined to pursue the Anti-constitution-
alists in Navarre and Aragon, have been pub-
lished.

At Gerona, the garrison perform duty the same
as in war. The regiment of Wimpsen arrived on
the 20th ; and reconnoitring parties of cavalry
go out every night to avoid all surprize. All the
neighbouring districts have been disarmed.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY'S

FIRST LEVEE.
The first Levee of his Excellency the Marquis
WELLESLEY was held yesterday. It was at-
tended by the largest assemblage of the Nobili-
ty and Gentry we ever remember at the Castle
of Dublin, if we except the Levee held by his
MAJESTY in August last. At half-past twelve
O'clock the carriages began to arrive at the
grand portal, and in less than half an hour the
State rooms were literally crowded. Several
Addresses were presented. his Excellency the
Marquis WELLESLEY, attended by the Officers
of State, and the principal Officers of his Excel-
lency's Household, entered the rooms exactly at
half past one, dressed in a rich blue uniform,
decorated with stars. His Excellency had ar-
rived from the Phssenix Park, where he at pre-
sent resides.—[A list of the names at the Levee
is published in the above Paper. They amount
to 515, and many others are said to have been
also present.]—The Lord Mayor arrived in State
in his splendid gilt civic carriage. The carriages
of the Nobility and Gentry filled, for some hours,
all the streets adjoining the Castle.

[FROM THE DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT, JAN. 9.]
OMAGII, J.N. 5.---,Yesterday, a General Meet-
ing of the Magistrates of the County of Tyrone,
consisting of the following highly respectable
characters, namely, the Earl of Belmore, Sir
John Stewart, Claudius Cole Hamilton, Esq. the
Rev. Thomas Stack, Major Crawford, and se-
veral others, assembled at the Court-House, for
the pur_pptof investigating the circumstances
connected with the murder of Michael M'Brien,
at Dromore, on the 26th of December.—The
Earl of BELMORE presided;
DANIEL WILSON, Esq. one of the Coroners of
the County, and a Justice of Peace, thought it
advisable that the mode of proceeding to be taken
on this solemn inquiry, should be by Coroner's
Inquest.

Counsellor lirrtNAN was employed on the part
of the friends of the deceased ; and being in-
formed, on his arrival in town, of the mode of
proceeding intended to be pursued, he, by Mr.
John Maguire, the Agent retained for the Pro-
secution, sent his respectful compliments to the
Magistrates and the Coroner, then about to as-
semble, that he should find it his duty to object
to the manner of proceeding by Coroner's In.

que.-4, on these grounds:—First, that the Coro-
ner had no authority to hold his inquest on the
deceased, but " super• visam co7poris." And,
secondly, that although, in point of Law, the
Coroner were competent to proceed by inquest,
yet, that to hold a public investigation now,
of the way by which the deceased came by
his death, by examination of witnesses, before
a Jury, who were hereafter to be produced on
the trial, on the part of the Crown, would be
subversive of the principles of Justice, and
might be the cause of d'•:urbing the peace of the
country, by inflaming the passions of the friends
and connections of the deceased.

Shortly after the delivery of this mesage, the
Magistrates assembled in the Grand Jury-room,
and, after some time, requested Mr. Kernan's
attendance, who immediately obeyed the sum-
mons ; and, on his coming into the room, the
Earl of BELmostr, in an able and sensible speech,
delivered his sentiments on the fatal outrage that
had taken place, the causes that led to it, and
the manner of its execution. He concluded by
stating, that the investigation of the Magistrates
should not be connected or confounded with
such proceedings as the Coroner might think it
his duty to pursue. The course of proceeding
that they proposed to adopt was—first, to exa-
mine and take the informations of such witnesses
as were prepared to give evidence against the
persons concerned in the commission of the homi-
cide ; and, afterwards, to examine the witnesses
on the part of the rersons now in confinement,
and take their informations, if they had any to
offer.

Mr. Kernan thought the course of proceeding
intended to be taken by his Lordship, was, in
his humble judgment, not only the most legal,
but decidedly the best, that under the circum-
stances of the case conld be devised ; and ac-
cordingly the witnesses were sent up in the
manner prescribed.

The entire of Friday, and a great part of this
day, was taken up by the investigation. A great
number of witnesses were examined against the
persons concerned in the outrage, all of whom
concurred in this fact, that, previous to the
wanton attack made by the Yeomen, no riot or
disturbance of any kind whatsoever had existed,
either within or without the house, where the
man was killed.

it appeared that Lieutenant Hamilton, the
commander of the corps, had left the county a
few days ago. He had been taken by a party of
the friends of the deceased, and brought before
certain Magistrates, to be dealt with according
to Lai• ; but,on the solemn assurance of his father
to these Magistrates, who is also a Magistrate
himself, that " he would deliver his son to those
Gentlemen on Friday, the day of the investiga-
tion," he obtained his liberty, and was thus suf-
fered to escape.

(FROM THE CORK INTELLIGENCER OF THE Bth INST.

TnALrE, JAN. s.—We understand that the
' house of Richard 0. Townshend, Esq., of Ard-
tully, near Kenmare, was attacked about a week
since, by a numerous band of ruffians, who de-
manded Mr. Orpen's fire-arms.---Mr. Orpen re-
sisted them with the greatest intrepidity and suc-
cess, although he was quite unprepared for such
an attack, having no ball cartridge in his
house. Having, however, half a pound of powder,
and there being five men in his house, they com-
menced a most formidable discharge of musketry.
The ruffians, however, who are reported to have
amounted to .200, retained their ground for some
time, and fired several balls into the house ; some
of these Mr. Orpen's party were able to pick up,
and to return to their original proprietors, it is
hoped with some effect. The cowardly ruffians
dared not attempt entering the house ; and, as
they saw no prospect of the arms being peaceably
surrendered, they eventually judged it to he
their wiser course to effect a retreat. It is ge-
nerally believed that these fellows were not in-
habitants of the barony of Glenerough, but had
made an incursion of some miles to effect this
attack.

On Friday- night, abo'it a dozen ruffians, well
armed, visited different houses at Butterfield, and
swore several of the inhabitants; they deprived
Jeremiah Connor of two guns and a sword, and
Thomas Gloster, a constable, of his gun and
bayonet. They also visited the house of Francis
Murphy, of Slounmolune, a tithe-proctor, whom
they deprived of a sword, and swore him to send
his tithe-book to the new stage between Killar-
ney and Mill-street.

East night a party of ruffians visited the house
of the Rev. Philip Sullivan, Parish Priest of
Aglish. After breaking his door and windows,
they obliged him to deliver up a gun he possessed.
They extracted from him also a promise, that he
would refuse his dues. They also went to the
house of the steward of Richard 0. Townsend,
Esq., in that neighbourhood, from whom they
took a gun,which had been left there bylVlr.Fenton.
We are sorry to hear that some stacks of
wheat, the property of Doctor Boyse, were ma-
liciously set on fire, and entirely consumed a
few nights since, i❑ the neighbourhood of
Killorglan., The wheat had been brought on
the morning of the day on which it was
burnt, and had been seized for non-payment
of rent, to which cause is attributed this base
outrage, which conspired, with the inclemency
of the season, to heighten the miseries of the
poor, and to accelerate the horrors of famine, now
so broadly staring us in the face.

An attempt was made, on Friday, to burn Om
haggard of Mr. Fitzmaurice, of Springmount ; but
the vigilance and activity of a detachment of the
40th Regiment, at Listowell, discovered and
soon extinguished the fire. Mr. Fitzmaurice has
lately made large abatements to many of his
tenants in their rents.

The Catholic Prelate presented an Address
this day to the Lord Lieutenant. They were
received in the Closet, habited in Canonicals,
and were honoured with a most gracious answer.
This was a mark of distinction, which his Excel-
lency said he had the special commands of the
King to confer on their Lordships. His Excel-
lency was further pleased to convey to their
Lordships :he strongest assurances of his Ma-
jesty's confidence in their devotion to the Throne
and the interests of the Crown.—(Dublin Even-

soLT.II QUI. DICERS FALSU.II 4LTDE.IT

LONDON,
SATURDAY; ,LINUARY Ic2, 1822.

The Lord High Commissioner's Proclamation
to the people of Zante, announcing a partial re-
vocation of the order for disarming all the inhabi-
tants, is hardly calculated, we should think, to
secure any of the advantages expected either
from the original measure, or from its present
modification. Sir T. NIAITLAND congratulates
himself upon the quiet and subordination on the
part of the people, which followed the execution
of the first decree, and which he ascribes to the
judgment, zeal and decision of Sir Frtcnuatch=
ADAM, to the good conduct of the British troops,
and in part, also, " to a desire felt, as his E
crel-
lency is disposed to believe, by the misled and
misguided people themselves to retrace the un-
fortunate course" which first subjected them to
the imposition of martial law. " his Exceliency7
however, does not think that arms can be in DO
way intrusted to any part of the population."
By this far from gracious acknowledgment he
prefaces the proposed indulgence, that the Nobles
shall immediately receive their arms again," under
the observation of certain forms of a military
regulation," to remain in force during the con-
tinuance of martial law ; and that a thousand
stand shall be restored under the same regulaticn.
to certain inhabitants (of whom a " precautionary
choice" is to be made) " whose past good con-
duct and firm attachment to the Government have
demonstrated that they can be safely entrusted
with them." And the restoration will be gra:
dually extended to the people in general, accord-
ing to their behaviour.

Now to those inhabitants who, as the Procla-
mation admits, forfeited their arms without hav-
ing misconducted themselves, such a stern and
uncourteous mariner off permitting their resump-
tion is very far from conciliatory. A depriva-
tion of this kind, even it obviously necessary for
the public good, is likely to produce some feel-
ings of impatience in the mildest and most dutiful
citizen ; and it surely is not the part of a wise
and politic governor to allow loyalty to cool, and
a momentary displeasure to become confirmed
ill-will, for want of a little reconciling conde-
scension, or even the superficial courtesy of a
respectful phrase. Of those persons Who, at the
time of the first Proclamation, were likely to be
dangerous if they, retained their arms, it is not
probable that many, after the short interval of
nine days, (when the second order was pub-
lished), or at any early period, would have be-
come fit to be entrusted with them again, what-
ever allowance we may be disposed to make for
the hasty and mercurial disposition of these
islanders. While the neighbouring continent is
still possessed by that ferment and agitation
which have so exalted the susceptible minds of
the Zantiotes, and while a great part of this po-
pulation is irritated by the general disartnin?:,
additionally provoked, it may be supposed, by
the cautious restoration of arms to a selected
number, and certainly not soothed by the ex-
pressions of the High Commissioner, who accuses
them of having " renounced every principle of
prudence, every sentiment of propriety, every
sense of gratitude, and even the semblance of
obedience to their own Government;" it is not
very likely, under these circumstances, that the
suspected or openly obnoxious class of inhabitants
will readily return to the sentiments which the
Government wishes to inculcate; or, if they should
assume the appearance of having done so, that
they will take back their arms with any sincerely
dutiful intention towards their Rulers,

Whatever object may have been attained by
the High Commissioner's order of the 6th of No-
vember, we think the popularity of his Admi•
nistration will not he increased, nor any ,good
disposition promoted, either in the inhabitants
who regain their arms, or in those who remain
deprived of them, by his Proclamation of the
16th. We are aware that in the present state
of the lonian Islands it is peculiarly hazardous
to pronounce opinions formed at a distance from
the scene of events; but we are much deceived if
the measures in question do not exhibit that mix-
ture of precipitate harshness and unptofitabl
concession, which history • has shewn us in so
many memorable instances to be the deadliest
error of an unsteady Government.

Much attention was excited yesterday by the
suicide of Sultan MAnmoun, who, after cutting
off the head of one DALI-MULCHI and sacrificing
With hike own hand his three daughters and }.is
