DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.
Mr. PEELE stated to the House,-that disturb-
ances existed in many parts of Ireland, which he
ordinary course of law was inadequate to restrain.
He had intended to have brought forward a mo-
tion on the subject at a much earlier period, but
had delayed it on account of the changes that had
taken place in the state of Europe,. which, lie
hoped, Would have rendered any measure on the
.subject unnecessary ; though he had found' him-
self disappointed in this hope. The Honourable
Gentleman then read a letter from. a Magistrate,
who had been deputed by Government,. elated
March 23, 1814; stating the atrocities of a set of
miscreants, called Carders, who were in the prac=
tice of scraping the flesh. from the bone with *.
wool card. They set a price upon, 0.1.1 laud 3. arail

74sity that existed, between -the professors Of two
religions - but he, believed that the Public were
.generally satisfied of the strict impartiality of
'Government with regard to the Protestant and
Catholic. In a late disturbance in the county of
Cavan, According to the report of Mr. Jeph,
res'pectable-Barrister, .'et-en lives had been lost.
The lower classes of-the Irish had a great re:-
luctance to inform against each other. A man of
`the
Imam.. James Conneli had given'evidence
iit:,oinst- two, amen accused of a riot, and immediate-.
ly atter -ards kit his native ci:nmtry. ' lie (Mr.
1)cele) cautioned hintnot to return, but he per,
zistcd is so doing; and for twit lbws remained in
,the 114.ase elf Lord Castlereagh. After-Ile had left
his Lordship's house, three parishes appointed
de.leL to the number of 18,.t0 murder him ;
nine out of the 18 were convicted of the murder,
arid six stacred the punishment of death. The
night Honourable Gentiema a next proceeded to
read a letter describing the Caravats, by whom
Queen's County was-.infested, and. WllOlll the
existing 'laws were- inatlegaate to put doWn.---.-
The measure he intended to propose should lie.
limited by the necessity of the: case; and the
outline was to bring in a Bill to appoint sit-
perint eachng Magistrates in different conaties,

.grant--a power to the Lord Lieuteoant to
proclaim districts in • a state of diqu'rbance ;
to appoint
.01licers in the distnrbed dis-
tricts, though no extraordinary power was
to be given to the Magistrates so „appointed,
who were to be made responsible to the`Lord
Lieutenant. At the same time a number of .cou-•
Stables were to be appointed, with a moth larger
salary than was usuaily winle the expo •e

.1 TN E 24, 1814.

Our Dover Letter; besides announcing the gra-
tifying arrival and reception of our Hero,,. the
Duke of WELLINGTON', notices another important
fact, which releases us from any delicacy we.
have hitherto felt on, the subject of the rupture
of the Treaty of Alasriage between the Prince of
ONINGJ3 and the Princess CfIARLOTTE. This
brave young Prince 'has reached Dever, on, his
return to Holland. It is publicly alThned,- that
this union, every Way so desirable; has been re-
linquished, because 'the Prince would not Con-
sent• to have a clause introduced in the Mar-
riage Contract, precluding ,him from taking the
Princess out of the Country, though. he had
solemnly pledged bimself as a Prince and
mtin of Honour, that she should only be ab-
sent 'fur a very short period. if it' be possible'
that. a marriage,' towards which such advances
had been made, and 'which_ ptomised such, a cor-.
dial and permanent Union between -Great:l3H
taut and Holland -should have been superseded
upon such a ground, there is reason, indeed, to '
lament the ascendancy of a mischievous Party over
the mind of the Princess of WALES, not only on
account of the interruption of an Union, that
proMised hapPiness to the parties immediately
concerned, but which would have been preg-
pant with- consequences
_highly conducive to
the national welfare. The PrinCeSS-CHARLOTTE
previous to this insidious advice, as is well known,
entertaioed the most favourable sentiments for
,the PaiNec who`was to have received her band.
If. it were possible tor the,peopte of Holland to
suppose that the Princess CIIARLOTTC herself re-
quired this clause, so insulting to their PICINC,E,
whose character. is held in the highest esteem,
and who so .solemnly pledged his honour that
the Princess CaAaLoTTe . should' be required
to leave her native country, and only once,
for a•Vveck or two, to be seen by, his •sub-
jects, or that she, could ha;ve acted from caprice
there could belittle danger,that they would throw
any iinpediment4 in the 'way of her return, or
that they could have theleast , disposition to ,
tain a, person actuated by such feelings, or Capa-
,
ble oaf such conduct. But tue youth, inexpc-

duty, • tsf this en;'hibin
6c;s, rabid the supposition of any •cenSuie being
merited by iter..-z-liow.indigtiant, then, Must the
people of this Country 'and Holland feel towards
that Iviclted FaCtion, %Vida can thus interfere in
domestic:relations, burst into the sgrictuary
vate life, and interrupt the connections of amity and.
interest between- two Countries between whom.
there has always been a sense of Mutual advan-.
tage from a cordial intercourse. Language is not
tapabie of furnishing expressiqns calculated td
stigmatise, in due terms, the enormity of such
conduct ; and it is to be hoped that sonic strong
manifestation of universal disapproval of arts so
flagitious and injurious to the Empire, as may de-
ter this restless and ranconrous Cabal from their
efforts to sow discord over the Nation as well as
to crush the hopes of domestic enjoyment in a fa-
mily, in whose happiness must be involved the
happiness of the British Empire.
Butthis can only be the ostensible cause of the
rupture.

" Tbus bad begins, but worse remains behind."

The mai-riage settlements were nearly drawn.
A large stun Of money, it is said, was on the way
frnia liolf-Jid ordv to purchase jewels the
.ciirriatses also were ordered, and the day fixed for
the Ist of Angtot.

- The Prince of OrtAt:Gr.;, it is also said, refused at
first-to sliew'the letter containing the Princess's
demands to her Royal Father; still induced to
hopc,-L-hy affect; for lier person, and unwilling
to sustain disappointinent,—that the Lady might
cliauge her mind ; but in the-mean tune the letter
was transmitted to the Pitiscs REGENT, and to
the QUEEN also, by the' writer herself; and,his
Highness left .Londorton Tuesday night; his bag-
gage, horses, &c. went off Yesterday.

The Dn)ce of NITF.a.LINGTom arrived in Town
yesterday about six o'clock,. in an open carriage
and six. He .was recognised in Parliatuent-street„
and thence the declamations ofc the People out-,
stripped even the utmost speed of his horses.----
He drove to his house, in Hamilton-place, ,and
was fultowed by the Multitude, shouting and-re-
joicing iti his return " covered witb,glory."
Grace,afterwards saw his nearest relatives, and
sheaved himself to the public, not only at the
windows, but by walking in the streets.
- This morning at P he set out (we believe) for
Pintsmouth ; - hundreds and thousands went to
see him in every directfon, and- his house was
long surrounded by numbers anxious to greet the
Liberator of the Peninsula. At Knightsbridge
the whole•population was emptied into the street
as His Grace drove througri it. He turned down
Sloane-street, and disappointed the hopes of a
owd running up front Brompton to have a glance
at their Favourite.

but;. no rooni to give them, in this ilay's pubiica-

A Proclamation, dater! Copenhagen, June

complains of Demnark's being made responsible,
by Ministers in the. British I'arliaiiient; for'the
acts of NOrway, which she had ceded, and couse-
cinently had no power over ; that England has not
ratified the Treaty of 'Kiel (signed at Liege), nor
put Denmark in possession of 1.1 Colonies,
and that Pnglish Newsp.apers -misrepresent the
conduct of I)enruark in regard to-Norway. -A
Decree issued ut the Hague, on -the 20th_ June,
replates :thy treatment of Dutch 'Conscripts re-

home horn the French service. Another
Decree' orders all the establishnnents of Cnstoin..

houses along'the irontiers where the iiiiport and
export duties are to be paid.

Two hundred thousand of the Allied Troops re-
nain on the Rhine till every thing is settled.—
nese arc the only other• noticeable paragraphs
" VIENNA, JUNE I.—the residence of the Arch-

duchess IVIAntA LouzsA at Schoenbrun draws a
great concourse of people of the first distinction.

The young Prince her son is the general subject
of conversation... As the Prince de Ligne was
presented to him, in the quality of Austrian
Field-marshal, he said .to him, " Arc you also
ont of the Marshals Who deSerted my father ?"
if MENTZ, JUNE ,10,—Our city is to be occu-
pied by Prussian and Austrian troops, and is al-
ready divided into two quarters ; one of which
will be occupied by the. Austrian General Fre-
mont, and the other by the Prussian General Von
Kleist. Mentz is. considered as belonging to the
right bank of the Rhine, the fate of which alone
is to he settled at the Congress at, Vienna."

GENOA, MAY 21.—Among the troops destined
for the Isle of Elba are 90 Italians and 8 Name_
likes, who arc intended wholly for the persopdl
at tendanceon ,NAPOLEON. Fourteen carriages and
six covered wagons arc gone to Savona with the
private. property of tbeEx-Emperor. Ninety more
Uulans and 200 of the French Guard are to attend
the Duchess MARIA LotyrsA at Parma.'

" BLANZ.ENESE; JUNi Yesterday a ter-.

of the poor fishertnen is extreme. Four persons

are missing."

Some sublinie bard has aposti•oplhized DWaini

iri these-words--

" Jobn Bull FJolai Bti most e±rellent Niil ai Con• !"

anc: we never saw a 'leitror proof that `the in:3i-
nuOon is .generally considered to be just than
was last night produced by Messrs. METHUEN,.
WHITEMEAD, and Co. in the thinse of CommonS.
We take it for granted that the Public will be not
a little surprised at the mutton of the former Gen-
Aleman. It Came upon ns like a thunderbolt. NO-
.
thing about the -Drawing-iooni ; nothing about
reparation to the Princess ; no indemnity for the
past and security for the future; nothing, inde4;
but the base salve of gold to heal her wounded ted-

ings, compensate for unmerited insult, and induue
her to sit clown quieted, even though neither proved
guilty-nor treated as innocent ! We shotdd like
now to canvass the popular opiuivii upon this
clumsy Part y rttve; for we never have, and never can
view it-in any other light than as a'contcniptible
and shameless attempt to Litd;-vr the Piu 1 NCI: RE-
/GENT, and bring him to humiiiating terms or pe-
cuniary compensation. It 'appea-rs, 'that all the
hubberb about going to Court was .nothina
but a •mask for coining to -Parliament for a
few thonsand pounds a-year out' of the pockets
of the country. Not a word is said abciiit- en-
forcing that claim—No ; thift has served its pur-
pose of exciting a lioptilar .delusion, and annoying
the Prince., -while his Court was adorned by the
presence- ot the mightiest Sovereigns of ILiirope.

‘ve are told, 'forsooth, even this day, that all

tilat is demanded for the. Princess i 3, " that there
should be public decoilini, Observed—MU t her Royal

Highness should got be ireate'd with insult and in-
4;.giiity—athi this is as essential to public mbralS
by example, as it "is.due to the delicacy and cha-
racter of a'Princess; who has unfortunately lost
the society of 1)r husband, and can only be'
re-
cowpenced for that loss by the decent and proper
respect which is•paid to her rank and station in
life."

Now this is evidently a falsOond. No such
thing is demanded, but more-mriney and a greater
eStabliShinent, which is as different from the
above pretence as darkness is from light. Nor
have we (ii the Countryand Parliament think the
increased expences of the times rti-quil'e an 'wig-
mentation),. the slightest objection to increasing
the Yrincess's.income; but in thp name of jus-
tice and loyalty,. let this, object be openly
and candidly sought, Apt! not be factiously. and
scandalously got .at by ‘.4. manceuvring" to stir up
the mob and to stigun the lloyal.Family,
We Lave no space for further comment upon
tins nefarious business ; the result of which is,

that a certain proportion of superfluous eadi will
be annually extracted from the nulch cow, :and

injured innocence aud Houour dormant

till the next opportunity

The termination of the war.has (as we ;lave al-
Ways contended it would do) produced a very great
reduction in most-articles of foreign produce:—
The importers' of the precious metals, within
these few weeks, have felt the effects of the de-
pression. Portugal gold, which lately sold for
51. fits.- per ounce, will not now fet tI7 4/. ss. ; so
that guineas, .which a few weeks since bore on
the Continent a premium of 6s. and 7s. each, are
now very nearly at par.' Silver is in the seine pro-
portion. Where now are all the wild theories of
Lord 'LAUDERDALE, Mr. HORNEII, and the other
Bullionists ? They have, like most other of their
fearful prognostics, vanished into thin air. The
boarders of guineas Will now begin to laugh
at their own credulity ; and may well exclaim
" We .have saved our principal, but where is oyir
interest ?"

We cpgratulate the Friends, of. the East India
Company on the decisioneome to yesterday; re-
specting the Grant of 20,0g0/.,t0 Lord MELVILLE,.
a decision highly honourable to all parties, and
alike due to the inestimable services, of the late
Lord, and the int.wi•icence and' justice of this
princely mercarrile association. The following
is the question put to the ballot, and the result :

" That, as a testimony of the high sense entertained by
the Proprietors of East India Stock, of the etininent and
essential services rendered by the late Viscount I\IP.LviLLE to
the tdst India Company; for seventeen years, daring which
period he discharged the duties of President of the Board of
Commissioners, a sum of Twenty Thor.,and Pounds be granted
to his Ekecutors, at the rate of Two 'Thousand Potinds per
Aquila', until the said sum of Twenty Thonsand POurids he
discharged, The same to be applied towards the liquidation
of his Lordships' Debts." -
