if, as some fol-eign accounts hare it,
are making to introduce among the Greek Insur-
gents the discipline and warlike usages of mo-
dern Europe. But it would be a still brighter
omen for the. ultimate success of their cause,
if the progress of this contest were to f6rm or
to call forth men, nay even one individual, fitted
to direct the energies, unite the counsels, and
concentrate the national spirit of his country-
men. The rising up of such a man would pro-
bably effect far more; both for the present deli-
verance of Greece and for her ultimate re-esta-
blishment among civilized nations, than the pa-
tronage and co-operatio❑ of the mightiest Euro-
pean State.—The best consequence then, which,
hi our opinion, can result to the Greeks from the
present state of affairs, is, not that their neigh-
bours, by the sword or by negociation, should
conquer Greece for them, but that the approach-
ing hostilities, or at least the protracted uncer-
tainty respecting them, should allow the insur-
gents an opportunity of conquering for them-
selves. That events should take such a course is
not to be too confidently expected ; but it is
plainly the more desirable contingency of the
two; first, because it might have the effect of re-
novating the national character, as well as re-
storing the liberty, of the Greeks; and secondly,
that in this case the connection of the Greeks
with their Russian friends would be less likely
to assume such a form as would threaten their
own future independence and the interests of
other nations.

An Evening Paper, whose assertions and senti-
ments respecting the impending war between
Russia and Turkey have recently, undergone a
very great change, published a letter the other
day, purporting to have been written at Vienna
on the 27th December.----We cannot help sus-
pecting that this document was manufactured in
London,—so opportunely does it come with ru-
mours, and inferences, and allusions to " letters
worthy of credit," and" grounds to suspect," and
considerable modifications," and the wondrous
annunciation that " people are now not far from
believing" that " Austria may possibly act with
Russia," &c. So opportunely does it come, we
say, to enable the Editor to glide with a good
grace into the character of an advocate for the
employment of the British arms in favour of
the Greeks. However, whether the letter
to which we allude be genuine or spurious,
it is corroborative of the authentic statements
which we made on the sth instant. If genuine,
it proves that the policy which we know will be
pursued in the event of a war breaking out, was
partly known at Vienna on the 27th ult. If
spurious, it shews that the party by whom it was
published here, has grounds for believing that
our information is correct. Of one thing our
Readers may be assured, that the British Go-
vernment have left no honourable means of avert
ing a war untried ; and that if, notwithstanding
their exertions, a rupture actually takes place
(and it is our opinion, for the reasons which we
have so frequently stated, that a rupture is una-
voidable), England will give her aid in erecting
Greece into an independent Slate.

The French Papers of Friday and Saturday
have arrived since our last, from which we pre-
sent extracts, and the report of a Debate in the
Chamber of Deputies, relative to the proposed
new Law for controlling the French Press, which
will be found both important and interesting.

The French Papers inform us of the sudden
death of the Duchess of BounnoN, Princess of
CoNnt, and mother to the unfortunate Duke
d'ENontEs. She had gone last Thursday to the
newly consecrated Church of St. Genevieve to
attend Divine Service, and was following a pro-
cession when she suddenly tottered, and after
vain efforts to recover herself, sunk down in a
swoon. She was immediately carried to an apart-
ment in the ;cote dc Droit, almost opposite the
Church, and M. PELLETAN and several other dis-
tinguished physicians attended, but death had
anticipated their arrival, and the Princess was
no more.—Another account adds, that the affec-
tion which terminated so fatally, and in so.short
a time, was the effect of sudden cold in an im-
mense Church paved with marble, and, like all
other Roman Catholic temples, unprovided with
pews. The Duchess de 80-Jauos was in her
72d year, having been born the 9th July, 1750.

(4 critNsty.—The foliowing Extract of a Let-
ter was received this morning at LLO in's, dated
Guernsey, January 4 :

" During the late gales the Black Buoy of the Channel, called
the Small Russell, was carried away, and as it may be some
time before it can be replaced, owing to local difiiCulties and the
winter season, Mariners would do well to note the Caution ,ivea
Deschamp's Instructions,' published in 1318, (page 51,)° by
which accidimts might be avoided." -

The necessary preparations are now making
at Carlton Palace for the return of.his MAJESTY,
on the Ist of next month, from Brighton. -

. A few nights ago, threatetiing notices were post-
ed in the parish of RathHuey, against tenants
who lately took lands in that and other parishes
in the barony of Clan william ; and Denis Dwyer,
of Rathliney, Proctor to the very Het. Dean
Bagwell, received the following notice :
" DEAR Slit_We, the underneath persons, take an oppor_
tunity of writing these few lines to you, hoping you will take
notice of them ; if not, you will rue it for an .enemy, as you may
be called. We hope you will give up all claims relative to the
ttking of ground in toe parish of Kilmilkin, and in all places
whatsoever, as we would not wish to visit you without serving
you with notice; and you may depend on our word, if you
were to be guarded by all the Peelers and soldiers in the county,
we will go to you, if you do not give up the aforesaid claims
to all persons concerned, as yon receive this letter ; or if not,
receive the ceremonies and rites of the Church, and occupy your
time diurnally in prayer and fasting; and also have your burial
place settled ; but as fOr the latter, we believe you need not
trouble yourself; as you may be positively assured we will
burn, and serve you as the unhappy victims near Fethard were
served.—We remain your inveterate Friends, _ _ _

cessity of pursuing the present law ; or if you do, you will be

FROM " THE CORK MERCANTILE CHRONICLE," JAN. 11.]
We are informed that the neighbourhood of
Croolihaven is far from being quiet ; and that the
peaceable and respectable inhabitants of the Pa-
rish, as well as the Revenue dPpartment on Rock
Island, are under arms every night.
- On Wednesday, Mr. Berbard hearing that a
man named Donot.;an had been wounded severely
in the ,encounter which took place on Monday
night, and was concealed in the neighbourhood
of Newcestown, where the affair occurred, went
in search of him in company with his two bro-
thers, each of them' armed with a double-barrel
gun. About four o'clock in the evening, they
saw six suspicious looking fellows on foot at a
distance; who made towards them; one of
them more advanced than the rest made up
io Mr. Adderly Bernard Beamish, and snapt
a pistol, which providentially missed fire. Mr.
E. 13eamish then snapt at him, and missed
fire also, upon which, Mr. A. Bernard imme-
diately as the villains was running off shot him
dead. The other five made off as fast as they
could, but Mr. Bernard and' his brother, taking
deliberate aim, fired on them and saw another of
them fall.—Mr. Bernard and his brothers being
wholly unattended did not think it prudent to
pursue them) in a part of the country which was
wild and uninhabited. They secured the dead
body,and brought it to the Guard house of Mr. Be-
rnard's Yeomanry Corps at Murrogh Cross. Upon
examining the body, it appears to be that of a
person above the lower class, rather well dressed,
and apparently not belonging to that part of the
country where Mr. Bernard lives. In his pockets
were found some money, a parcel of bullets, a
Prayer-book, with the form of the oath the In-
surgents administer. It is generally believed,
that in the affair which took place on the Mon-
day night preceding, two persons besides Donovan
were killed.

TITIIES.—On Saturday last, a most important
tithe cause came to be tried before the Reve-
rend S. T. Roberts, Surrogate, of the Diocese
of Leighlin and Ferns. John Baily, adminis-
trator of John Davis, VMS promovent ; Felix
Toole, impugnant. The claim was for tithe of
corn, hay, rape, potatoes, &c. &c. It appeared
that the original lessee specified corn, hay,
sheep, and lambs—without any mention of rape
or potatoes ; the tithe of which was resibted as
illegal. The entire day was spent in arguing
this point, and settling a question of title under
the administration. The trial was adjourned till
next Court day, that, in the interval, Counsel's
opinion may be had on the original lease. James
Grattan, Esq., M.P., attended in Court, as pro-
prietor of the lands which were tithed.—(Carlow
Morning Post.)

TREDEOER. FESTIVITIES.—DUting thC Christmas holi-
days, the noble mansion of Sir Charles Niorgan was open to a
numerous party of. friends. Nothing could exceed the kind-
ness and attention of the worthy and hospitable Baronet and
his amiable daughter to every individual. The weather prov-
ing favourable, the races in the Park took place as usual. The
silver cup given by. Sir Charles Morgan, was run for in heats,
and won by Th:.-enas Lewes, Esq. -The handicap cup for the
winners -of the day, was won in a sharply contested race by
Mr. Megan. The Glamorganshire militia band was in at-
tendance, and dancing was kept up every evening with great
spirit. On the 7th, the neighbouring gentry were invited to
dinner, at which above seventy persons sat down. In the even-
ing, an elegant Ball and Supper were given.---Mr. Morgan's
harriers afforded excellent sport to a numerous field of gentle-
men who were resident at Tredeger.. _ _

GREAT TROTTING MATCH for 1000 GUINEAS.
The Western road was all bustle at an early hour yesterday,
as this great match was fixed to take place on Sunbury Com-
mon; and the next amusement was the Boxing-maich on Nloul-
sey Hurst. The match was between Mr. Aldridge's brown
mare, 14 hands 2 inches, and Mr. Hall's chesnut mare, 15
hands 2 inches ; and many hundreds were sported upon the
event. The brown mare was trained by the owner at fledfont,
and the chesnut by Jonathan Chalkeley, and each carried list.
The umpires were Mr. Hull for the brown, and Mr. Lawton
for the chesnut ; betting 7 to 4 on the brown♦ and 5 to 4 that
the winner did the mile (from the third to the fourth mile-stone
from Hampton) within three minutes. The brown mare took
the lead at starti4, and shot a-head, when she broke into a
gallop, and was turned round before the other mare got up
with her. She resumed the lead, and won the race py seve:al
lengths ; arel had it not been for breaking, she would have won
within the three minutes : the time occupied in..the race was
three minutes two seconds. The party belonging to the chesnut
expressed dissatisfaction at their rider, and offered to match
again for 200 guineas a-side, and people expected another race,
but it was off ae.ain. The ground was much thronged, and
the next assemblage was at Moulsey, to see the fight.

flis Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Charidos, in a letter
to the Mayor of this City, announces his recent elevation in the
, Peerage, and has in consequence transmitted a draft for 501. to
be distributed among the poor, at the discretion of that Gentle-
man. The Duchess also sent a donation of 501. to be appro-
priated to the same benevolent purpose. The Reverend C. S.
Bonnet has also recalled .:4JI. from her Grace, to he distributed
among the poor of Avington.—We omitted to Mention, that
785 poor penons, 'of the parishes of Arington, Easton, and
Martyr Worthy, were on Christmas Day regaled with a good
substantial dinner, and presented with various articles of cloth-
ing. And en New Year's Day .204 persetis were entertained at
Brighton in' a similar manner, by direction of the amiable
Duchesg of Burkingham_(Harapshire Chronicle.)
THEATar..—A new piece; founded
on the new romance of The Pirate, and with the
same. title, was last night produced at this
Theatre. It follows the course of a piece de-
rived from the same original, at another Theatre,
and the leading outlines and characters are si-
milar. It has not less 'interest than the one
alluded to, and was altogether well cast in the
acting. The chief performers were, Messrs. 11.
JonNsToN and OXBERRY. The scenery was
good, and the whole was enlivened by songs,
dances, and the music which accompanied the
dumb-thew. Miss NORTON, formerly of Covent-
Garden Theatre, performed the part of
,Norna, a
personage who fancies that she posessef- super-
natural powers,
.and who makes an important
figure in the plot. Miss NORTON is much im-
proved in acting, and she rendered the character
very impressive. There was a numerous au-
dience, and the piece was well received. An
excellent Pantomime followed, and was much
appianded
