INDIA.

pointing out the criminality of their conduct, its ingratitude to-
wards Government, and the absolute ruin which a perseverance
in it would speedily bring upon themselves. Notwithstanding
what he urged, however, a considerable number declared they
would not march, and eventually a parade was ordered for the
following morning—Colonel Cartwright still hoping that
when the time for moving came the orders would be obey-
ed. lie made of course the proper reports to General Dalzell,
who intimated his intention of going in person to the parade
the next morning at day-break. Well, when that hour arriv-
ed they found only between 300 and 400 men (including com-
missioned and non-commissioned native officers) on parade
the rest remained behind the bells of arms, with their accoutre-.
ments on, and their muskets loaded. On seeing this the Gene-
ral rode up to them, whereupon they immediately charged and
drove him back to the parade, and followed the act by rushing
upon those who had already paraded, and driving them back
into the lines, all but the native commissioned, and non-com-
missioned officers, who joined Colonel Cartwright, and were
sent to his house as a place of safety. So far with the 47th ihr
that day. After gun-fire in the evening (of Monday) a body
of the 62(1 regiment suddenly rose, in number about one hun-
dred and fifty, rushed to the quarter gnard, seized the colours,
and carried them to a distance of one hundred yards to the
front. Captain Ashe and Ensign Boyd, being, the nearest to
the spot, hastened to this place (the commanding officer, Major
Roope, and the rest of the officers, exerting themselves to pre-
serve order in the other parts of the corps), and the former
expostulated with the men upon the madness of their conduct,
and reminded them of their former good name. He had the
greatest hopes of persuading them to abandon their project,
until a Sepoy rushed front beside the colours, and told him to
begone, or his life should be taken. Capt. Ashe declared his
resolution not to leave the colours, whereupon the Sepoys struck
him twice, and sought for a bayonet wherewith to assail him.
Upon this some of the other men held the ruffian, and said they
would not suffer him to touch their officer, whom they entreat-
ed to go away, saying they were mad, and knew not what they
were about. Between pushing and jostling they drove him and
Ensign Boyd away, and immediately proceeded with the co-
lours and joined the 47th. Much about the same time a small
number (about twenty) of the 26th rose, seized upon one co-
, lour, and likewise joined the original mutineers, notwithstand-
ing all the endeavours of Lieut.-Colonel D'Aguillar to prevent
them. By that time the Royals, the King's 47th, and the
Ar-
tillery, had arrived, as well as the Commander in Chief, and day-
light alone was waited for, to put into execution those prompt
and vigorous measures upon which his Excellency had already
determined. Accordingly, on Tuesday morning, the whole
of the troops were drawn up in position, and the mutineers
were likewise in a line of their own, apparently as resolute
as ever. Geu. Dalzell was then sent to desire them to lay down
their arms, and to point out what world be the immediate con-
sequences of their refusal. They replied that they had sworn
not to surrender, and that they therefore would not, which
being reported to his Excellency, 2 signal cons were fired (the
galloppers of the body-guard), and, agreeably to previous orders,
the artillery, under Capt. Webb, opened on them from the rear.
—We believe they returned this fire, in an irregular way, and
then immediately fled, receiving a volley from the Royals, who
afterwards pursued, and continued sniping all the morning.—
The mutineers threw off their accoutrements as quickly as
possible, and endeavoured to conceal themselves in every direc-
tion. The number of killed it is therefore impossible to ascer-
tain, but it probably did not exceed a hundred, including those
who were drowned in attempting to cross the river. Two of the
body-guard were unfortunately killed by a shot from the ar-
tillery, supposed to have glanced off a tree, or sonic other sub-
stance, which changed its direction. At ten o'clock a court-
martial was convened, before which forty men of the 47th were
arraigned, found guilty, and adjudged to suffer c? Bath ; iineonse-
uence of which six of the worst of them were hanged on Thurs-
day morning, and the remainder sent in irons to Fort William.
Since then, about seventy more from the different regiments
have been taken and tried, of whom five more were excuted
on Saturday, and the remainder sent to Fort William to be
hereafter dealt with as the Commander-in-Chief shall think
fit. The above is a correct account, as far as it goes, but into
any of the reported causes of the mutiny we of course cannot
enter. Suffice it therefore to say, that it is completely eradi-
cated, and that the several corps are anxious to be sent on ser-
vice, in order to wipe off the (we trust) temporary disgrace which
their conduct has incurred ; and although we are not given to
flatter, and it may be even impertinent to praise, we must say
that the decisive and vigorous measures adopted by the Com-
mander-in-Chief so effectually put a stop to the riot, and root-
ed out every mutinous feeling, that the Sepovs have since de-
dared they would .undergo any thing in the world to wipe
away its remembrance from the mind of Government, and
rather suffer any kind of death than behave in a like manner
again. This perfect restoration of loyalty, and the firm decided
conduct of his Excellency, we think it particularly proper to
make known—not for the information of the army, to which we
doubt not that General Orders will communicate the particu-
lars, but for the information of the people of England, among
whom, no doubt, the whole transaction will be commented on
and exaggerated, in the ridiculous manner which charac-
terizes almost all their speculations upon eastern affairs. The
estimate we have made of the number of killed in the attack of
Tuesday is a perfect guess, and perhaps exceeds the actual
amount ; but the very nature of the example renders the pre-
cise number of sufferers exceedingly difficult, if not quite im-
possible, to be ascertained. Had treble the number been slain,
however, we are of those who consider that on such an occa-
sion it would neither have been lamentable nor excessive, which
is all we shall at present remark on the subject.—( /fathom)

By the Mellish, arrived off Exmouth, we have
received advises from Calcutta to the 18th of
.`levernber. The following official order on the
foobject,of the mutiny at Barrackpore has been
',q-sued by the Governor-General :
"lt is viith much regret that the Right Honourable the Go-
vt.rnor,Oeneral in Council feels himself called on to announce
to the Bengal Army the consequences of a most disgraceful
or alloy in the 47th Regiment of Native Infantry, at Barrack-

pert, on the lstinst., in which the corps was joined by a num-
ber of tepOys, equal to about two companies, of the 62d, and,

pe7liapti, 21 men of the 26th Native Regiment. These corps
nod been under orders of march for some time, and had expe-

r coccd some difficulty in procuring carriage : this, however,
was immediately removed on its being brought to the notice
of GovernMent, by, an advance of cash to each corps, to aid
tte Sepoys in procuring the necessary carriage-cattle for their
b.ggage. As the event, however, proved, the difficulty served
tut to cover a subterfuge—a bad spirit possessed the corps ;

end when all difficulties were removed, and it was no longer
ilateible to practice evasion, they refused on the parade to march,
with the exception of about 180 men, and the non-commissioned
and commissioned native officers. On the receipt of a report to
this effect by the Commander-in-Chief, his Excellency imme-
Uiately adopted the necessary measures to bring these misguided
own to a sense of their duty. He instantly proceeded to Bar-
rackpore, and on the following morning having made a dispo-
rition of the other troops at the station, and those which had sr-
riied during the night, the Adjutant-General and Qurter-
'nester-Gen eral of the army, with his Excellency's Persian In-
terpreter, and officer commanding the 47th Native Regiment,
were deputed to make a last effort to induce the mutineers,
El-awn up, loaded, and in regular parade order, to lay down
ti:eir arms, but without effect.

" Nothing then remained but to inflict the punishment so
justly merited. The Commander in-Chief gave the precon-
aerted signal for an attack by a part of the force, the mutineers
instnitly broke, and betook themselves to flight, under the fire
of the troops who attacked them ; and such an example was
made on the spot as the necessity of the case and the infamy of
the regiment merited—the most guilty of those who were made
prisoners having been subsequently executed by the sentence
of a general court-martial. That a transaction so unusual in,
.and,disgraeeful to this army. could have been planned, and
carried into execution without the knowledge, not to say par-
ticipation of the native commissioned and non-commissioned
officers of the corps, is not for a moment to be credited, com-
posed as the native regiments are in Bengal. Connected by
relationship, and living as the native officers and Sepoys do,

almost under the same roof, it is not to be believed for a mo-

ment that the grossest neglect of the duty the former owed to
the state has not been shewn by the parties in question ; the
Governor-General in Council consequently considers the 47th
regiment Native Infantry, including its native commissioned
and non-commissioned officers, to be disgraced ; directs that
No. 47 be strack out of the army-list, the native commissioned
and non-commissioned officers to be instantly discharged the

service as totally unworthy of the confidence of Government or
the name of soldiers ; and that a new regiment, to be num-
bered 69, to which the European officers of the late 47th will
be appointed, be immediately raised in its stead, for general
service, agreeably with the detail as laid down in general orders
4:1:. the 11th of July, 1823, No. 65.

" To the native commissioned and non-,:ommissionecl officers
of the Bengal army, the Governor-General in Council now more
Particularly desires to address himself. He is perfectly satis-
fied that no instance of insubordination can take place in a
corps without such coming to their early knowledge. He here-
by demands from them a rigid execution of their duty, and
oqierves, that even on the rumour of any discontent in a corps,
'-at is their particular duty to communicate it instantly to their
European officers, and to exert their utmost endeavours to put
down in the first instance any appearance of combination. His
•bordship in Council further desires it to be distinctly under-
stood, that in failure of that line of conduct which is expected
from the native commissioned and non-commissioned officers of
the army, they will be held personally and collectively respon-
sible for any misbehaviour of the men, who are more imme-

distely under their eye anti command in the lines than they can
be under that of the European officers ; and that the most
prompt dismissal from the service will be the inevitable conse-
q_itence of any want of exertion and zeal, or any abandonment
of duty ; in short, he warns them to profit by the example of
the 47th, who have drawn down on themselves a punishment
tAsey most justly merited.
" Tite Governor-General in Council. in order to make known

the sentiments of the Government to the Native Army ac fully

and correctly as possible, is pleased to direct that this order
shall be translated into the Hindoostanee language, and printed
in the Nagree character, for the purpose of transmission to
carps respectively through the Adjutant-General of the army,
utuler the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, who will be
pleased to issue such subsidiary orders as his Excellency may
consider necessary, draughting the privates of the late 47th,
whose fidelity remained unshaken, into such regiinents as may
appear most expedient."
[We are also presented with the reports of three Courts-
martial held on the Sepoys implicated in the mutiny. The num-
ber tried and found guilty amounts to fin, of whom, however,
only five have been executed, the remainder having been sen-
tenced to hard labour for various periods. The private letters
by en-Mellish speak of the mutiny as now entirely quelled,
and consider that it did not originate in any hostile feeling to
the British Government, but from a general dislike to the war
against the Burmese, an impression having got ground among
the native troops that that country is peopled by magicians and
denions. A large additional number of British troops is thought
indispensable.] •

the following account of the suppression of the late mutiny
is from the Hurkaru (Calcutta Paper), of which the Judge-
Adirecate is Editor. It must therefore ire taken as the apology
of the Government proceedings :
CALCUTTA, Nov. 9, 1824.—The Government Gazette hav-
ing published an account of the mutiny at Harrackpore, but by
no, means either a full or a correct one, we deem ourselves au-
thorised to lay before our readers the whole particulars, which,
'from having heen upon the spot, we can assure the public are
authentic. We shall give what we know in as brief and sum-
mary a manner as possible, but what we do say, our readers
may rely. upon as being quite correct. The 26th. 47th, and
111 d Regiments had been, as we formerly told our readers, under
marching orders for some time past ; and on the Ist instant,
the second-named corps was to have proceeded upon its route.
_

-loor several days befoie that there hid been sym.ptoms of dis-
-oantent displayed by the sepoys of it,•but not of a nature that
thought likely to end in a serious manner,'and we shall ac-
:oordirigly db no more than •barely notice the circumstance for
thcsalte of regularity. On Sunday (that is, the day before the
11th• was to lave marched) a parade was directed, in marching
• order,aa is usual on all such occasions, and of which the intention
ii;that the commanding offictt may inspect the knapsacksoccou-:
trt•inents,A.c.to see that all is in good order for the general. service;
•On going tO the parade,• it was officially reported to Lieut.:Col.
gaftwrighe that a great number of his men had positively
vfniced t 3 put on their knapsacks ; on hearing which,; he, forth-
*M.-proceeded to the right grenadier company, and ordered
them t 3 go immediately and put them on, expressing at the
;same. time his displeasure at their conduct. Regent down all
the companies, and the event was, that in about two hours' a
uumberof the men had got their kniphiaEks on. Not to be
,t,k) minute, we go on to say that the Colonel then threw them
a square, and harangued them for a considerable time,

[From Cu! India Gazette, Nov. 18.]
By accounts from Madras under date of the 3a inst. we regret
to learn that an unfortunate affair had taken place between a
small body of our troops and the garrison of a refractory petty
Chief. A troop of horse artillery, under the command of Cap-
tain Black, being on their march from St. George to another
station, when about thirty miles from Darwar, was ordered
by Mr. Thackeray, the Chief Commissioner and Collector in
that part of the country, to attack a small fbrt, the Chief of
which had manifested a disposition to revolt, and had put him-
self in an attitude of resistance. An attack was consequently
made; a sally took place from the fort, and the whole troop, as
far as could be learned, there is much reason to fear has been
cut off to a man (with the exception of Dr. Turnbull, the As-
sistant-Surgeon with the troop, who has fortunately escaped.)
Captain Black, Lieutenant Sewell and Dighton, anti Mr. Tha-
ckeray, are, we lament to say, reported to be killed ; and As-
sistant-Collectors Messrs. Stevenson and Elliott taken prisoners,
after being severely wounded.
We have a lingering hope that some portion of this report
may happily prove erroneous, and that some of those reported
to be cut off may yet make their appearance. We should not
have mentioned the thing at all, were it not that the report is
quite current here, and that we think it is much better to state
at once what the specific extent of loss is, than to leave it to be
extravagantly over-rated by the tongue of rumour and vague
mystification,_ which would perhaps magnify a mere skirmish
into a great battle.
From the Mofussil also, we have several letters referring to
reports which we for the present deem it proper to keep hack.
Perhaps the very silence on the part of the newspapers tends to
foster reports, since there is no doubt mat they are current,
although not noticed in the newspapers, where their appear-
ance would at once challenge inquiry, and meet contradiction
if erroneous.

From Bareilly we learn that the squadron of the sth cavalry
which had arrived there, and were under orders to march off
again on the 6th inst. to join thcii head-quarters, had been di-
rected to stand fast, in consequence of some intelligence from
Aloradabad, to which we cannot more particularly refer at pre-
sent. ,

(From the Hurkara of Nur. iii, 1824.)
The John Bull mentions a report of a disastrous occurrence
which has taken place on the western side of India, and for
once, we believe, his report. is correct, though worded with
the most blameable vagueness, and in a style imitative of the
mysteriousness often adopted by the Newspapers at home. lie
understands that " a distinguished civil servant and -several
officers have lost their lives." Why this pompous epithet
" distinguished," and the contrast of lumping together the ,
" several officers ?" IVe do not much admire this phraseology,
and our contemporary had better leave its use to others, if lie
wish to preserve the patronage of the army of the possession of
which he once was wont to boast, and no doubt eminently de-
served to have it. Besides, his manner of announcing the event
is calculated to alarm the friends of a great many " distinguish-
ed civil servants," whereas the mention of his name would
have eased their minds; and not, if true, have caused inure
than unavoidable-pain to the friends of the unfortunate gentle-
man hin-hielf.
We have not heard of this affair, but of another, regarding
which our information ix not sufficiently minute to warrant our
saying any more.
Extract of a letter from Soormali :—The artillery and 39th
have come up to Pendigong„ the 14th to Phoolhana, the 52d to
Jattrapoor with the gun-boats, and two companies in Telegan,
' which the enemy have evacuated and gone to Munipoor, where
they will not only get plenty of grain. but also annoy us much
in getting through the Passes, and alige us to have hard fight-
, ing before we gain posseSsion of that station.
CALCUTTA, OcT. 29.—We are happy to learn by .a letter
from Sebranpoor, dated the 4th instant, the particulars of a very
gallant exploit by Captain 'Frederick Voting, commanding
the Sirmoor Local Battalion, With a detachment of 300 of his
little (.iorkahs, aided by 30 horse under the Hon. Mr. Shore.
• The party marched on the 3d instant, to Koonjwah, a Our-
bee and village, the resort of a large band of freebooters under
three chiefs: Six hundred of the band were under arms on
the approach of our troops, and kept up a heavy matchlock
fire as well as litigant from the tiurhee. They were soon
driven with loss mostly into the fort—the rest escaping by the

back of the village. Posts were immediately taken up under
cover, within 30 yards, to prevent their escape, and having
neither guns to breach nor ladders to esculate, Mr. Shore KO-
posed that a tree should be cut down r.nd rigged, so as to
serve for a battering rant. This was immediately assented to
by Capt. Young, and executed by Lieut de Bade of the en-
gineers, who happened to be on the spot, and the assault was
made forthwith. The Cattapulta, carried by 14 men, was
brought .forward, and planted against the gate, under a heavy
fire from our skirmishers, and notwithstanding the protection
of spears from the gate, and the enemy's fire, it was soon torn
off the lower hinges, and an opening effected. Captain Young
and his gallant campanions, the Hon. Mr. Shore, Lieutenant
de Bade, and Assistant Surgeon Boyle, were first to enter,
and were promptly supported by their brave men. Every
officer and soldier were engaged hand in hand, and the ene-
my's resistance was as desperate as might be expected from
outlaws. Mr. Suotte killed seven in single combat, ant!, was
wounded in two places on the breast, although, as we rejoice to
learn, not seriously. The result of this gallant exploit was,
that one hundred and fifty-three of the enemy were killed, and
thirty taken prisoners, of whom twenty-one were badly wound-
ed. Leaving 100 men -in the Gurhee, to finish the business
there, Captain Yoirs;n sallied out with the rest, and the horse,
to cut up the fugitives, which was successfully performed
during the night, it being luckily moonlight. In short, nothing
could be more successful and complete than this exploit, and
while it reflects infinite credit on Captain YOUNG, his corps,
together with all concerned, we trust the example will have a
good effect both on friend anti foe.
Such a conflict as this could not, of course, take place with-
out loss to the victors. Our loss was five killed, and thirty-two
wounded.

(From the Singapore Chronicle of August 2.)
On Monday last their Royal Highnesses the sultan, and
Too Moongoong, of Singapore, had an interview with the Re-
sident. Two salutes were fired, according to custom, on the
arrival of their Highnesses in town.. The subject of this meet-
ing, we understand, was the. fravaing of a new treaty, the
particulars of which are not yet known. It is., however, gene-
rally understood, that a cession of the Island Singapore in full
sovereignty to the East India Company is its principal object.

PARLIAMEN I'ARY PROCEEDINGS.

ON TILE QUARTERLY REVIEW.

We avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity
to make one or two observations on the article on Railways and
Canals in the last number of the Quarterly Review. The
elements of criticism have often been asserted to be—malice,
misrepresentation, ignorance, and impudence; and this " mor-
sel of criticism" we speak of is a precious compound of all these
qualities, except perhaps the first. Whatever we subtract, how-
ever, from the score of malice, we must add to the account of igno-
rance. Interested pamphleteers and adventurers have already im-
posed too much on the public credulity, and now the Quarterly
Review gives the sanction of its authority their falsehoods
and fooleries. We lament the want of judgment. We must
expose the want of honesty, for it is dishonest of the critic to
pretend to be either an impartial or well-informed guide to
others, when he is obliged to admit that his own only " guide
nava he the pamphlet of Mr. SANDARS," the partizan. The
affectation of ho%tility to projectors in general is wilful, but
not successful. We have caught a glimpse of the author's foot,
and though we are not a gambling animal, we will venture a
considerable bet that he is as like an interested party, •
As hypocrites in shew
Are to true saints, or crow to crow ;

and notwithstanding the chorus of Mr. PEE 1., Mr. WI 1.-
MOT HORTON, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, Mr. WILBER-
FORCE, and Mr. BROUO:IAM, to Lord LIVERPOOL'S
toast, that " where the arts were concerned there would
be nothing like party in the country," the Lords of Liver-
pool and their Representatives in Parliament, and all the
country know—that there is no party in any other matters now,
and nothing but party in them. The Quarterly Review will lose
its readers, if it admits such flimsy dullness as all that which is
original in this article; hut it is dishonest dullness to give for
gospel all that a violent partizan asserts, and stupid dishonesty
not to have examined or understood those assertions. We
have been furnished with information which convinces us that
Mr. SANDAR.B cannot be trusted for any of his statements.
But Mr. SANDARS himself will prove that this writer in the
Quarterly is still less to be trusted. He says (p. 372 of the
Review)" as the two existing Canals share between them a com-
plete monopoly, it would be idle to expect economy." Now what
is the truth ? Why that there are three Canals instead of two, and
the one which the Reviewer in his gross ignorance omits to no-
tice is the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which Mr. SANDAILS, in
his gross misrepresentation, hides his only mention of in a Note,
p. 4, and one word, p. 17, of his pamphlet. Does the wilful
suppression by Mr. SAYDAItS of an important part of the case
justify the ignorant suppression of it by the Reviewer, who con-
fidently blunders on, asserting in p. 375 that a " third Canal is
impossible, as the two existing establishments have the posses-
sion of all the water."

We cannot wonder that this ignorant blunderer (can we justly
call him less) who is so simple as to think Mr. SANDARS an
authority for facts, should think 7.1 r. HART DAVE'S name a
guarantee against all imposition, " Colonel TRENCH'S a se-
curity for all wisdom, and the subscriptions of 40 or 4,000 mer-
chants, manufacturers, and tradesmen" of Liverpool, infallible
evidence of the " propriety and necessity" of a Joint Stock
Company !—at a time when " speculation appears to rage," and
the prevailing mania breaks forth in schemes, " the off:springer
cunning upon creciolity, and nourished by folly and avarice;"
where the gambling animals, the projectors, have a due re-
gard to their own particular interests. If the shares (of which
they are the largest holders) bear a premium (which those of
the most unpromising speculation are almost sure to do on their
first appearance in the market), they sell out, and their object
thus obtained, start upon some fresh game. We quote the
very words of the Reviewer. We have given a specimen of his
fret:—can it be necessary to expose any more of this writer's
deceits or delusions, or to advise Mr. 111 URRAY to look to the
reputation of the Review?

as an If shman and a soldier it was his pride to give. He meant

" The Marquis of Hastings and the other absent Contribu-

The list of Subscriptions was then read over, and the whole,
together with the Collection, amounted to 1,5541 3s.
The Noble CHAIRMAN said he was about to travel out of the
line of the toasts which had been put into his hands, but the
circumstance which induced him to do it, was one of a most
particular nature; and one in which they all equally rejoiccd—e
he meant the presence of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the
Exchequer—(A loud burst of applause, which lasted for a consie
derable time, here interrupted the Noble Lord.)—He had parti-
cular reasons.for entertaining the highest respect and regard
for his Right Hon. Friend, who had always gone straight
forward in his duty, and he was sure that all would agree hi
what those who were most intimately acquainted with him
best knew, that an honester or a better man never existed.—

" How can I express, Gentlemen, the feelings which have been
excited by the kind and flattering manner in which you have
been pleased to receive the mention of my name? It is impos.-
sible—l feel myself unequal to the task. But I assure you that
it is no ordinary gratification —although I have not the honour
to be an Irishman, and cannot pretend to the right of sitting as
one of your Vice Presidents—yet I can assure you that it ia
no ordinary gratification to me that I have the honour to
attend this anniversary. I feel that, not merely from the
utility and the benefit which this excellent Institution is calcu-
lated to bestow of itself, but because I lay peculiar stress, and
attach peculiar importance to every circumstance which shall
bring into closer connection, in any, the smallest degree, those
who are my countrymen in England, and those who are my fel-
low subjects in Ireland—(Loud cheering.)—Although the hand
.of nature has separated our two islands, yet the voice of nature
tells us that we are one people, bound together by the common
feeling of brothers.—Long may this anniversary be celebrated ;
long may its influence spread, and its benefits be extended.--
Long may I have the gratification of believing that when your
countrymen, within the precincts of their own land, are celebrat-
ing this day, which to Irishmen is so dear, they will reflect with
no unkindly feeling upon that union which reigns here of all
classes and all opinions, bound to the attainment of one object--
that of rescuing these Children front what might perhaps other-
wise have been irretrievable destitution. Gentlemen, I drink
your healths with all my heart, and wish prosperity to this
Clety."— ( The Right Hon. Gentleman's speech teas received
with an enthusiasm which we have seldom seen equalled. )
The Noble CHAIRMAN next gave the Irish Bar, and highly
complimented the Attorney-General for Ireland.
The toast was drank with three times three, and great ap-
plause.
Mr. O'CoNNE at, in rising to acknowledge the compliment
to the Irish Bar, said that he was in the habit of public speak'
ing, and therefore he could not attribute to a want of expe-
rience the total inadequacy which he now felt to express his
feelings. To do so would require the talents of that Gentlemafi
to whom the Noble Marquis had alluded, and whom he noo
publicly called for the first time his Right lion. Friend. It
would require talents like his to express that overflowing of the
heart which had come over him, after the manner in which the
last toast had been received by an assembly met fbr the
highest of human purposes—that of exhibiting charity and be-
nevolence. After paying some very flattering compliments to
Mr. Plunkett the Learned Gentleman said that the Bar of

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCIIIB, IS5*

An Express arrived this morning from Paris,
by which we have received the Moniteur of
Wednesday. It does not contain any news what-
ever. Private letters brought by the same con-
veyance state, that the Law of Indemnity has
Passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Rentes
declined on Wednesday to 103 f. 20c. for money,
and 103 f. 40c. for the end of the month.

By Private Letters from Paris, dated Tuesday
evening, we learn that Prince de METTERNICH is
accompanied only by one Secretary and a Physi-
ci4u, and that the arrival of this Austrian States-
man at Paris has put the whole Diplomatic Body
In motion. On Monday the Ambassadors of
Austria, Russia, and Prussia met at the hotel of
the Baron de DAmAs, French Minister for Fo-
-1;lRu Affairs ; and, after the conference was
broken
up, the Russian Ambassador, Count
ozzo DI BORGO, paid a visit to Prince de MET-
IRUIED. Several other Ambassadors and Minis-
ters Pletiii•otootli,r7 were also received by his
kigilness. On Tuesday the Secretary of the
ussiali Embassy quitted Paris for St. Peters-
bu
rg, and two extraordinary couriers were dis-
Piltelled by the French Minister for Foreign Al-
4.%airs, one to St. Petersburg, and the other to
"ustantinople. The bustle and activity pro-
duced in the Diplomatic Body by the Prince de
"lETTERNIcti's arrival have given rise to a variety
of rumours in the political circles at Paris. They

ii"uEed that the Emperor of AUSTRIA bad
rivited the new King of NAPLES to meet his Im-
13erial MAJEsTr at Milan, which invitation had
I:een eagerly accepted; but it appears by the an-
ted article that his Neapolitan MAJESTY has
fRIBY declined the honour of the proposed con-I
p.ence, and is very urgent in his app
l lications for
r.ne removal of the Austrian troops from his ter-
tories.
It is-manifest that the new Monarch is
determined to .
avoid the trammels of the 110 l
Alliance y
and a private letter from Paris mentions

a very remarkable instance of his liberal feeling
and of his resolution to rely upon the affection and
loyalty of his subjects for the protection of his
throne and dominions. By an Ordinance of the
Bth February, says our Correspondent, his Nea-
politan MAJESTY has caused to be released from
prison all those who were condemned for any
offences except robbery, in which gracious pardon
are consequently included his MAJ ESTY'S former
friends, who introduced the Constitutional Go-
vernment into Naples.

NAPLES, FEB. 24.

Count Appony, Ambassador Extraordinary of his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria to the Holy See,..commissioned to com-
pliment our King on the occasion of his accession to the throne,
set out from this capital yesterday to return to his august master.
Our Monarch has taken this opportunity to send an autograph
letter to the Emperor of Austria, in answer to the one he has
received, and which contained protestations of perfect friend-
ship, and also an invitation for him to come to Milan, in order
to confer with the Emperor. His Majesty the King, in assur-
ing the Emperor how extremely agreeable this invitation was
to him, replied, that he would with great pleasure come to
Milan, if the mass of affairs, with which he was occupied at
the beginning of his reign, would permit him.

A Dutch Mail arrived last night, bringing Ger-
man Papers, from which we give the following
extracts:—

FRANKFORT, MARCH 12.
The Journal of this City contains the following extract of a
letter from J:tssy of the 20th of February :
" The renewal of the diplomatic relations between the Impe.
rial Court of Russia and the Ottoman Porte begins to produce
salutary effects. The Boyards who were confined in the for-
tresses have been long since set at liberty. Several Greek Fan-
ariot families, who ever since the beginning of the revolution
have languished in exile in Asia, have received permission to
Mum to their homes. Of this number is the young and rich
Moldavian Boyard, Constantine Palladi Ilogdar, son in law of
the late Prince Charles Callimachi, who, after having shared all
the Vicissitudes of that unfortunate family, and lost his wife in
exile, has also recovered his liberty."

A Tartar sent from Salonichi to Belgrade has lately arrived
here without haring met with any hindrance. It is thence in-
fered that tranquillity is restored in Servia.
There are no recent accounts from the Morea, but there are
reasons for believing that the news of the surrender of Patra.s to
the Greeks, received by way of Venice, is ill-founded.
AMSTERDAM, MARCH 15.
Exchange on London, 39 8; two months, 39 6.

The Allgemeine Zcilung of the 11th instant
contains an article from Constantinople of the
10th February, by which it appears that, so far
from the discovery of the late conspiracy against
the SULTAN, and the execution of the ring-
leaders, having appeased the discontents of the
Janissaries and of the inhabitants of the capital,
it has rather increased them, and the people
openly give utterance to their feelings of dissa•
tisfaction. The situation of the provinces is said
to be equally alarming. OMER. VIZIONI has
informed the Porte that he has been compelled
to abandon all his positions on account of
the mutinous disposition of his troops ; but the
Ottoman Government consider this representa-
tion as an idle excuse for not obeying the orders
of the Sur,TAN to take an advanced position ; and
the doubtful conduct of this Chieftain in connec-
tion with the well known fact that the Greeks
are making active and formidable preparations.
particularly in the naval department, for a new
campaign, have inspired the Divan with serious
alarm. The negociation with the Danish Charge
d'Affaires at Constantinople, relative to the free
navigation of the Black Sea, is again at hand.
The King of NAPLES has accredited the Duke
de CAVELLO as his Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Swiss Confederation, and given him orders to
conclude conventions with those Cantons which
are willing to adhere to the capitulations agreed
to by LUCERNE. His MAJESTY regrets that he
cannot grant to Switzerland greater commercial
advantages than it has already okained, without
affecting the honour of his Crown and the inte-
rest of his dominions.—(Paris Paper.)

The Queen of SPAIN has conferred the Grand
Cordon of the Royal Order of Maria Louisa
upon the Princess do TA LLEYRAND-PERIGORD,
as a memorial of regard for the manner in which
she contributed to lighten the captivity of his
Majesty FJ DIN AND VII. during his abode in the
Castle of Valencay.
A great many comtnercial letters, received by
the post of March 4 at Stockholm from Russia,
bring the authentic, and at the same time remark-
able news that orders hakve been received from
England in all the Russian Ports in the Baltic,
for the purchase of great quantities of Russian
goods, larger than can be remembered for many
years.—(Nuremberg Correspondent, March 10.)
The garrison of the island of Zante and the
Civil Officers have given two days pay for the.
relief of the sufferers by the earthquake at Santa
Maria. The private contributions throughout
the lonian Islands have been also very liberal.

The Carlow Morning Post says, " We believe
we anticipate every bum journal in the following
authentic intelligence :—The Archbishops are to
have an annuity from the Government of 1,5001.,
the Bishops 1,0001., and the Parish Priests 3001.
each."

PEASANTRY MEETING.—A meeting was
held this morning at the CrOwn and Anchor
Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the best means of ameliorating the
condition of the Irish peasantry of Ireland. Sir
T. Essforun in the Chair. The meeting was not
numerously attended. Mr. O'CoNNELL, and
other eminent persons were present. Several Re-
solutions in support of the object were carried
and after several speeches in support of the object
for which they met the Meeting broke up.
