rection Act.—A meeting of the Nobility, Clergy,
arid Gentry, of the County of Tipperary, held at
Clonmel, on the 16th instant, unanimously voted
an Address of Congratulation to the Marquis
WELLES LEY.

The following article appeared in The British
Monitor of yesterday, and as the Editor ex-
presses a belief in its accuracy, the information
which it contains is of -very great importance in
the present state of our foreign Relations

cc IMPORTANT TREATY BETWEEN THIS COUNTRY AND
DENMARK.

" It is confidently stated in the higher political circleS, that
a Treaty has been, or is about to be, concluded between this
country and Denmark, by which the important fortress of the
Sound is to garrisoned by British troops, as soon as the first
gun shall be fired by Russia against Turkey ! If this account
be correct, and of which we have no doubt, although we did
not obtain it direct from an official source, it is of the highest
importance, as Russia and her Allies, the Prussians, will be
thus prevented from sending even a boat through the. Sound.
This Treaty adds much credit to the diplomatic talents of our
Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs ; and may account for our
sending the Order of the Garter to the King of Denmark.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
• lifereuriii 20" die Marta, 1822.
A Petition of the Merchants, Ship-owners, and others, inte-
rested in the Trade of Canada, resident in GLASOQW, was
presented, and read ; setting, forth, That the provinces of
Canada have hitherto afforded an extensive market for British
manufactures and West India produce .;' that their Means of
paying for such merchandize consist of the indigenous produce,
and the grain and flour of the country ; that the two provinces
i. are at the present time largel indebted to the United King-
dom ; that grievous and im olitic restrictions oppress' their
agriculture, and interfere wit their trade, thereby preventing
not only the Canadian debtors from keeping faith with their
creditors in the United Kingdom, but also reducing the inha-
bitants in general to a state of great distress ; that the Peti-
tioners, from the nature of their connection with the Canadas;
largely participate in the effects of these grievous and impolitic
restrictions, and the Canadian correspondents of the Petitioners
have strongly impressed upon them, that in the present state
of affairs they cannot receive payment of the debts due to them
by the,growers of the produce, and in consequence are not in a
condition to make remittances on account of the debts which
they owe in this country ; the Petitioners, therefore, entreat
the House to take their distress early into consideration, and to
grant to them such relief as in their wisdom the urgency and
hardships of the case may be found to require.

On Thursday the free-trader Orpheus, Captain
FINLAY, passed Portsmouth for the River—
from the Mauritius 13th of Decembers the Cape
the 14th, and St. Helena the 29th of January.—
The. cholera morbus had nearly disappeared in
India, as well as at the Mauritius, where it had
destroyed upwards of ten thousand of the slave
population. At the Mattrititis, the attention to
.the growth of the sugar-cane and manufacture of
sugar, has been, and continues to be, increasing.
The paper currency of that island was very much
depreciated, the dollar notes being at the rate of
140 for 100 Spanish dollars. At the Cape every
thing was dear. There had .been no rain the two
last seasons, and in consequence the crops nearly
failed. Many of the numerous settlers would
have starved but for the Government rations.—
The Cape was healthy.—At St. Helena, the em-
bargo being removed. (by the death of BUONA,.,
PARTE), all vessels put in there, but the island
was very dull. Indiamen were daily expected
to call, to take the 20th regiment on to Bombay,
to relieve the 47th regiment. A standing guard
Of one Lieutenant and 15 rank and file is kept
on duty over BUONAPARTE'S tomb, and an officer's
guard, at Longwood, which place cannot be vi-
sited but by a written permission of G6ve..nment.
Neither the old nor new building at Laagwood
is inhabited ; it Was not deter Mined what was
to be 'done with them.—The Mulgrave Castle
was expected to leave the Mauritius on the 21st
December for London.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK attended Divine
Service at the Chapel Royal, in the KING'S Pa-
lace, St. James's. Divine Service was likewise
performed to the KING'S Household, at his Pa-
lace, in Pall-mall, by the Rev. F. W. BLom-
BERG. •

BRIGHTON, MARCH MAJESTY ap-
peared in public on Tuesday, in an open carriage.
His countenance beamed with animation, and he
appeared in the enjoyment of most excellent
health. Yesterday our ,beloved Sovereign also
took a carriage airing. We hav,e every reason to
believe that his Majesty will make a continental
journey early in the summer.
The interior of Drury-lane Theatre is, after
the close of the present season, to undergo a va-
riety of alterations and tasteful decorations pre-
vious to its re-opening.
Mr. KEAN, Miss HALLINGE, and Miss M.

season7 at the Dublin Theatre,
