CLAIM OF PRIVILEGE FROM ARREST.

Mr.,if OLT renewed an application made some time ago; in
behalf !of Dr. Battine, who ,;]aims to be discharged out of the
'custody of the Marshal of this Coct.i. on the ground of being
one of' the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, or one of the
King's domestic servants, entitled to' privilege from arrest.—
When the application on a former day came before the Court,
the Judges required some proof that Dr. Battine performed
services which brought him within the description of the King's
servants, and in default-of that proof they refused to discharge'
him. Mr. Holt now read the affidavit of I.)r. Battine, by which
it appeared that he was appointed to the.office by his late Ma-
jesty in 1812, and had been continued in it by his present Ma-
jesty. At the Coronation of his Majesty he was summoned to
attend, and had the honour of walking in the procession next
the Judges. He was entitled to double fees, on account of at-
tending the Coronation and his claim was before the Treasury.
Judge BEST—Did he ever attend the King at any other time
than the Coronation ?
Mr. II o LT—No.
Judge BEST—II may be a long time liefore he will be ex-
pected to attend again.
Mr. HOLT then stated that Dr. Battine, following legal ad-
vice, had applied to the Lord Chancellor to establish his privi-
lege ; but the Lord Chancellor could find no precedent upon
which he could relieve him. The question, under all the cir-
cumstances, was whether Dr. Battine could be discharged 'as a
menial of the King? -
Judge BAYLEY—Does he ever attend the King ?
Mr. Hour—Not constantly.
Q. Does he attend by deputy ?—A. No.
Judge BEST—Because there is nothing for a deputy to do.

- -
Judge BAY LE Y—UnICSS he makes an affidavit stating the
nature of the duties, so as to Satisfy the Court that he has real
duties to perform, and that the dignity of the Crown would be
diminished unless he attended, it would be most outrageous in
us to release him.

Judge BEST then adverted to a Proclamation in the reign of
his late %lajescy, in which it appeared that his Majesty was
desirous that.none but persons doing actual service in his house-
hold should protect themselves from arrest.
31r. lIoLT read the summans sent to Dr. Battine, by which
he was desired to attend the Coronation.
Judge BEST said such attendance could not give him the
privilege contended for. If it could, every Knight of the Bath
might claim it.

J
udge BAYLEY—This case was fully considered by the
Court on a former occasion, and we were satisfied no person
is entitled to privilege unless he is a servant with fee. Vt ith
respect to servants without fee, the King may asst his own
dignity by requiring their attendance. He is entitled to ask

REIIND.—The Dublin Correspondent of Jan.
29, received this morning, states, that letters had

arrived containing an account of an engagement
between the Army and a numerous body of In-
surgents, near the town of Kanturk, in which
the latter had suffered severely. The letters
added that thirteen of the military had been
killed.—The Cork Mercantile Chronicle of the
28th Jan., also received this morning, contains a
letter from Kanturk, which renders the truth of
this alarming statement too probable. The writer
say, that about mid-day on Saturday, three men
called at E. RIORDAN'S, Esq., and demanded
all the arms. They then made the work-
men
desist from their employments, " that
they might not be too tired for the business
of the night." It was reported in the town that
an attack on Kanturk was meditated. Some
said that there was to be a general rising ; and
others asserted that it had been determined at
once to form an encampment of the peasantry.
The people were described as evincing a most
desperate resolution, acknowledging that they
were sworn, and expressing their determination
of going to the utmost extremes. Two gentle-

men who were shooting in the neighbourhood,
immediately on their first shots being heard, had
been surrounded by about a hundred Insurgents,
who deprived them of their fowling pieces.—We
look with great anxiety for the next arrivals
from Cork or Dublin.

At Mill.itreet, another town in the county of
Cork, the party of the Rebels who mprdered Mr.
BuEItETON, were audacious enough, after re-
ceiving an accession of force, to make an attack
upon the Bridewell, probably for the purpose of
rescuing the prisoners. Before the military could
act, they had broken the windows ; but they
were finally repulsed by a small party of the
39th regiment, under Capt. WALLis, who acted
with great gallantry, and pursued the fugitives,
but was unable to make any prisoners, on ac-
count of the smallness of his force. It is not
stated that loss was sustained either by the mi-
litary or the insurgents.

On Friday, about a thousand Insurgents ap-

proached the-town of Newmarket, in the same
county, threatening an attack. Captain KAP-
rttocK and Lieutenant GREEN, however, with
about thirty men of the' 22d regiment) went out

to meet them, and dispersed the Insurgents 1
the first fire, killing and wounding several, and

taking three prisoners,
The same day great alarm prevailed in KilMr'
ney, in consequence of a Magistrate entering the
town, and informing the inhabitants that the Re'
bels were in great force on the hills between K'l'
larney and Inch. The Magistrate, Mr, McCatcruf'
of Ileadfort, took out two detachments of the Oh
Regiment and Carbineers, and, accompanied 11
a numerous party of Gentlemen, all armed, pro'
ceeded to battle to the Insurgents. The lat'
ter, however, did not wait for the attack, but
dispersed. Eight prisoners fell into the hands 0f
Mr. APCARTHY. The inhabitants have formed
an armed association for the defence of the town'
Fifty-one prisoners have been brought into
Cork from Macraom. The outrages in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of Cork are increasing ill
number and audacity. A shop-keeper in that
city has been detected in selling ammunition t°
the insurgents. lie was, with the agent of the
Rebels, arrested and lodged in gaol. On Mon-
day morning, a strong detachment of the Rifle
Brigade marched from Cork' for Bandon. Tlle9
had come in the preceding evening from FernioY,
and were to be followed by other troops to the
amount of some thousands, for the purpose °f
being dispersed over the disturbed districts. The
78th regiment received orders on Tuesday lot
to march from Dublin the following day.
The Rebels have formed a camp at Inchiga/a,
'consisting of several thousand men.
The body of Insurgents which was attacked by
Colonel IslyrcuLLL, to the south of Macrooon
on Friday last, consisted of several thousands;
and, was advantageously posted on the side Of 3
bill. On Colonel MITCHELL ascending an emi-
nence, to reconnoitre them, they took off their
hats, raised a loud shout, and rushing down ulwra
the troops in a great mass, and forming in a
line behind a ditch, commenced the attack by a
dicharge of fire-arms. Their fire was however
ineffective, and after the second discharge of the
troops, which was well-directed, they beg""
to disperse, leaving one man killed on the ground'
and twenty-nine prisoners. The number °f
the wounded is, supposed to have been con"
siderable. Sir JOHN LAMBERT has arrived ia
t.
Macroom with a fresh detachment of caval!v.,
—This small country town, which is now
head-quarters of the district, is crowded with
miltary. Air. BARRY'S house was not burnt
down, though it was entered by the Rebels, and
every article of furniture, clothing, provision',
&c. which it •contained, was destroyed. Mr'
BARRY'S family were in the house at the time ;
and were, threatened by some of the ruffians witi'
the worst treatment. Some of the party, ho
ever, more moderate and humane, successfully
interfered for their preservation. Mr. BARI"
himself was acting, during the destruction of his
property, with the Gentlemen and Soldiers Iv"
had encountered the Insurgents.
The party of Rebels which engaged with Lord
BNTRY, sheaved, it appears, the most determin-
ed courage and firmness. Though badly armed,
and apparently little prepared for the conflict,
the fastnesses of their mountain home, and the
desperate and determined spirit with which thief
fought, enabled them to maintain the battle for
nearly three hours, when the party of Lord
BANTRY, which consisted of about fifty Gen'
Hemet', well armed and mounted, besides the
military, thought it prudent to retire, their an'
munition being expended, and the resolution Of
the Insurgents unabated.
On Friday, a Privy Council was held in Dul' '
lin, at which the Barony of Fermoy, in the
County of Cork, and the Parish of Garristown,
in the County of Dublin,and the Parishes of At*"
lath, Clonalvey, Piercetown Landy, and Belles'
town-hill,- in the County of Meath, were pro-
claimed to be in a state of disturbance, and to rc'
quire an extraordinary establislnnent of Police.
Amongst the alarming details of all thee
transactions, it is gratifying to find it stated ill
The Cork Mercantile Chronicle, that the, inhabi'
1 tants of theparishes of Clondrohrid and Kilmichael'
-
near Macroom, where one of the conflicts tool*
place between the Insurgents and the military,
have voluntarily come forward to surrender their
arms and take the oath of allegiance. The °nil
parish holding out in that quarter is Ivelearp---
The Editor of the Cork Paper says he had re"
ceivod undoubted intelligence of this, just before
publishing his Paper. We hope the fact will be
confirmed. The conciliation is said to have bee°
effected through the mediation of Messrs. NA"-
DING, BOYLE, WSWINEYS, &c. The arms were
to be surrendered the following day at Clow'
drohid.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Tuesday, which contain nothing of any im-
portance but the continued debates in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on the proposed Law for the
regulation of the French Press. The 4th Article
Was discussed on Monday. It " subjects to im-
prisonment from one month to four years,
and to a fine from 150 to 5000 fr. all per-
sons convicted of exciting hatred or contempt
of the KING'S Government," and was approved
by the Committee to whom the law project
was referred, with the following addition :
" That the present regulation is not to preju-
dice the right of discussion, and of censuring
the acts of the Ministers." Three amendments
Were proposed by MM. DARIEU, DUVERGIER
HAURANNE, and CASIMIR PERRIER. The
first suggested the substitution of the words " the
Representative Government as constituted by the
Charter" instead of the words " the KING'S GO-
ven1111eTII;" the second proposed to alter the amend-
ment of the Committee in the following manner :
" the present regulation is not to prejudice
the right of discussion or of censuring the acts of
the constituted body of Ministers, and other public
agents; the third proposed to alter the same
amendment thus • " the present regulation is'not
10 prejudice the right of discussion, and of
censuring the acts of Ministers, nor those of the
Royal Authority anterior to the Chrirter." This
amendment, suggested by M. CASIMIR PERRIER,
Was received by almost universal marks of
astonishment. After a long and animated debate,
these three amendments were rejected, and the
article was then put and carried by a large Ma-
jority, with the original amendment proposed by
the Committee.

It appears by a letter from the Prefect of the
Ilepartment of Finisterre, dated the 18th ult.,

that the emissaries of the same party who ins

gated the insurrectional movements at Saumur and
lefort, had intended to repair to Brest for a
purpose ; but the public authorities bay-
inP,' received information of their designs, adopted
such measures as completely defeated their at-
tempts.

The accounts from Spain are very satisfactory
and hold out the prospect of a speedy adjustment
the unhappy differences which distract tha;
country.

The sentiment which, by a malicious perver-
sion of his words, has been imputed to a Noble
46 that County Meetings are farces,"
ould hi some measure be justified if the prece-
dont furnished by the Suffolk Freeholders last
Tuesday were generally adopted on similar oc-
casions. If any proceeding of a popular assembly
eau be called a farce, that name may surely be
4PPlied to the manoeuvre by which two Meetings
of the County of Suffolk were held in the same
hour, in the same place, and by the same parties.
'the Freeholders are summoned to consider the

Propriety of petitioning Parliament on the pre-
sent Agricultural Distresses : Resolutions appli-
cable to this subject are moved and carried, and
about to be signed, when a fiery spirit (Mr.
Gnior.y) starts up, and insists on presenting an
additional article in favour of Parliamentary
Reform. Discord and confusion prevail, and at
length the Sheriff (who appears to have been
greatly wanting in presence of mind) abruptly
dissolves the Meeting. In the midst of much
clamour, and many sagacious observations from
cc

Persons in the crowd," 4‘ gentlemen on wag-
()lls," and " gentlemen in the back-ground,"
(we quote from the Morning Chronicle) it is
discovered that no petition has been voted. The
Sheriff offers to propose one ;
,Lord DUNII ICH
moves an adjournment to prepare it : Mr.GnIGLY
moves that the Meeting be dissolved (which it had
been already); the Sheriff, however, puts the
Petition ; it is negatived, and a vote of cen-
sure proposed against himself ; upon which he
dissolves the Meeting anew. Notice is now given
that a requisition will be presented for the call-
of a second (it should have been a third)
keeting, instanter; and after a reference to the
Act of Parliament by the clear-headed leaders
°f this intricate debate, the (miscalled) Second
Meeting of the County of Suffolk is convened,
4t Which the Resolutions already passed by the
first are passed once more, with Mr. GIUGLy7s
addendum. A Petition is then voted, and the
Isesembly is dissolved in good earnest. We be-
ve at least that it remained dissolved when the

accounts came away.--Far from us be the irre-
verence of calling:these transactions a farce ; but
we may venture to observe . that the term has
Often bee❑ applied to proceedings more consistent
and more -soberly carried' on. There are, how-

ever, considerations by no means ludicrous aris-
ing out of these occurrences. We conceive the
High Sheriff to have set a very dangerous example
by accepting a requisition tendered to him in the
midst of a popular assembly already convened.—
The matter contained :n this paper may indeed
have appeared to him unexceptionable and of a
tendency not to be mistaken.: but occasions may
arise when requisitions shall be presented in the

same manner, so ambiguous in their wording, or
relating to subjects of such nicety and alarming
importance, that it may be extremely difficult
for the presiding officer to determine upon the
spot whether they ought to be received or re-
jected. During the unhappy ferment excited in
favour of the late QUEEN, it often became a ques-
tion hard to be decided, even on mature delibera-
tion, by Sheriff's and Officers possessing similar
powers, whether or not they should sanction public
Meetings. Yet a proposal equally perplexing,
might, according to the practice adopted in this
instance, be pressed upon a Sheriff, or the Mayor
of a country town, in the heat and tumult of a
public assembly, and without any previous notice.
lie might, it is true, refuse, if he doubted the
propriety. of consenting ; but is the exercise.of
such a discretion very easy for a timid or slow-
witted maii, and a novice in the arts-of debate
(as such an officer may very well he) when sur-
rounded by insidious or overbearing persons, and
called upon to refuse or comply in the presence
of a clamorous multitude ?—To place the sub-
ject in another point of view. When a portion of
the people is invited to discuss matters of state,
it is fair both to the public in general, and to
those who may attend at the place of resort, that
distinct notice should be had of the true purpose
and tendency of the proposed Meeting. An
assembly may be convened to authorise a peti-
tion for the repeal of a tax ;' this business may
be then thrown aside, and a " second meeting"
held according to the form we have described, at
which resolutions may he moved in favour of
universal suffrage, abolishing the funds, or adopt-
ing the Spencean system. fs not this a gross
deception on society and its protectors, and a
manifest defeating of . one principal purpose for
which public requisitions are intended ? And is
it just that • homely and simple men should be
led to form themselves into a popular assembly,
and, when their curiosity is excited and their
passions awakened, should be exposed to the
stimulus of a new and perhaps inflammatory dis-
cussion, which to most of them was wholly unex-
pected ? It will be. observed, also, that if a
second Meeting may be called upon the spot,
when a first has been dissolved, a third, a fourth,a
twentieth may he held upon the same principles; a
new meeting will commence upon the proposition of
each new subject, and thus a body of the people
nominally summoned to consider some one plain
point, will become a democratic council, empower-
ed to review the whole range of national affairs,
or to institute deliberations upon any other subject
which may appear to them worth the momentary
trouble of resolving themselves into a fresh
meeting.—The resolutions of the Freeholders,
independently of that on which the dispute arose,
are warm, not to say violent, in their character;
but we have not reserved room for.any examina-
tion of these, considering the transactions already
noticed to be more worthy of animadversion, and
at any rate a much greater novelty.

We hardly need draw the attention of our
[Leaders to the admirable letters with which our
valuable Correspondent INpEx has favoured this
Paper. That he has refuted the doctrines which
he opposes is evident ; but he has done so with such
candour, and has blended strength of reasoning
with so much humour, wit, and knowledge, that
we hope he will publish his communications in a
collected form, and not suffer them to pass away
in the transitory columns of a Daily Paper. The
subject is of the utmost importance to society,
and its illustrations ought to be fixed upon a
permanent basis.

As we have inserted in our fourth page a re-

port of the Proceedings in the Court of COMMON
COUNCIL yesterday,- upon a subject which has
long since been illustrated to the full satisfaction
of all wise and honest men, and as the debate
and its result were obviously influenced by the
spirit of. Party, we shall make no comments on
the occasion, but refer the whole to the good
sense of our Readers.

[From the late Charleston Papers.]
MISSISSIPPI.—The Governor of this State, in
his Message, seems to coincide with the Chief
Magistrate of Virginia in his exposition of the
Constitution :—" If," says he, " the Constituted
Authorities of the United States transcend the
powers delegated in the Constitution, and usurp
the rights reserved to the several States, the re-
pulsive frowns of an injured people will speedily
repel the encroachment, and by a watchful jea-
lousy over every department, restrain them

within their legitimate orbits ; an energetic exer-
cise of powers, clearly and distinctly granted to
the General Government, will be respected and
obeyed, while every attempt at usurpation will
create distrust, and only weaken the arm which
aims to prostrate the barriers erected by the
founders of the Constitution."

Letters from. Barcelona of the 12th instant
state that the weather had become very cold, and
that the fever had almost instantly ceased. No
deaths had since occurred, and very few sick re-
mained.

A private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, of the
23d of this month, contradicts the reports of
peace which. have been again circulated at
Vienna and London. The Russians in their
march towards the Pruth have had to contend
against many. obstacles, on account of the bad-
ness of the roads. The report that the Turks
were preparing to evacuate Moldavia, is void of
all foundation; on the contrary, they are forming
large magazines at Jassy, and are fortifying their
positions on the banks of The Pruth. The Ott-
oman army on the eastern ,bank of the Danube
has lately received
.a park of 100 pieces of heavy
artillery. The arrival of a new Pacha in Bosnia
had been the signal of fresh troubles ; and such
of the inhabitants as do not profess the Ma-
hometan religiob have been exposed to every

vexation.
A letter from Vienna states, that Prince Ali
Abbas Mira, of Persia, has been really poisoned,
and that iLwas after his death that the Persian

Army retreated. In consequence of this event,
a convention was concluded between the Porte
and Persia, under the mediation of England.—
It appears, however, by a letter from Nurem-
berg, that the Persians have not yet evacuated
that portion of the Ottomait territory which they
had invaded.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 30th of
December, says, that the Pacha of Janina still
holds out ; and that a part of the Janissaries have
obstinately refused to march to the Morea.

The -expedition of the Greeks against the town
of Larissa, in Thessaly, is said to have failed.
A letter from Lisbon, dated Jan. 12, says—
" Pereira de Carino lately made a motion, which
is supported by all the Americans in the Cortes

•
its object is to declare the port of Lisbon free for
Brazil productions, and to repeal all the Custom-
house regulations which embarrass the trade be-
tween Portugal and Portuguese America. Por-
tugal would thus become the general entrepot
for our colonies."

The KING, it is expected, will come to town

tolerably well dressed, and wrapped up in a

infant smiled on the crowd of spectators which
curiosity had led to the spot. No trace ca❑ be
discovered of the unnatural mother, or who had
been accessory to the exposure of this helpless'

whom it is placed at the expense of the parish.—
