will pat an end to all farther controversy on the
subject, and that- Mr. WYATT, who really had
the merit of instituting the proposal for a monu-
mental tribute to the mem ry of our late excel-
lent Monarch, and has brought forward a design
Which is universally acknowledged to be an ad-
mirable proof of taste and genius, will not have
to encounter any more obstacles in the pro-
gress of a work demanded by the worth
of the departed Monarch and the, general
feelings of the Country.—We much regret that
We have not room at present for a full report of
the Speech delivered by the Rev. GEORGE
CROL Y on the occasion ; his superior talents as
a Poet are well known to the public, and on this
occusion be displayed also the powers of a
learned and eloquent Orator.

IRELAND.—We regret to observe that the out-
rages increase.. On Tuesday last, the Waterford and Limerick
coach was attacked by a large party of the peasantry. A pis-
tol having been discharged at the coachman, he drew up his
horses, when the Insurgents took a young woman from the
eoach, who was proceedmg to Clonmel, as a witness at the
Assizes, in. a case of abduction. The coach was then suffered
to go on. The young woman was subsequently recovered by a
party of the Rifle Brigade, who went in pursuit of the banditti
satin after the occurrence.—On Sunday evening 'se'nnight, a
cruel murder was committed on a young woman at Ballybea-
con, between Caher and Clogheen. The perpetrators of the
horrid deed were instigated by the diabolical spirit of revenge
toirard the brother of the sufferer. The young man had
Offended some of them while they were drinking.together ; but
having escaped from them, they wreaked their fury by
murdering the sister. Another murder • was committed,
the same day, on THOMAS FITZGEHALD, a farmer,
at Killeneur, near Listowell; and on Thursday, JOHN
ELAN, a keeper, at Clongoose, Tipperary, was murdered.—
Saturday se'nnight, the insurgents burned the dwelling house
and a large barn, the property of Mr. JOHN LANE, at Bally-
nach, near, the military post of Shanagolden, Limerick. For-
tunately, the owner of the property was absent; for the villains
declared their intention to have murdered him. There have
teen various other outrages in the county of .Limerick; and
two large parties of Whiteboys were observed last week in close
deliberation, in the mountaip.i near Glin.
The Cathedral of Clogheen was broken into on Friday se'n-
night, and rifled of the valuable communion plate and cloth,
and other articles. The Cork papers detail several serious
outrages in the neighbourhood of Bandon. In the county of
Waterford, a number of houses have been attacked for arms ;
and an assault made upon five artillerymen by the peasantry.
The heads of two of the soldiers were badly fractured.
In a letter received this morning from a highly respectable
and well in formed Correspondent in Dublin, the writer, after
alluding to the melancholy state of Ireland, says, " Had mar-
tial law been proclaimed, how many lives would have been
saved ! Lord W--- seems to 'be doing literally nothing.—
He might some years back have been full of vigour and
energy, hit he now seems asleep. If the strongest measures
Shall not be instantly-adopted to recover the arms, and the In-
urgents crushed, the present army in England will not prevent
a roost bloody rebellion."—We quote-this passage, not for the
,purpose of joining in the censure Which it casts upon the con-
duct of the Marquis WELLESLEY, but of shewing the appre-
hensions which are still entertained of extensive danger from
the Insurgents. As to the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant,
we think that in applying the Insurrection Act to those dis-
tricts or places, the Magistracy of which make application for
it; he does every thing in the way of repression that can be
required.

BRIGHTON, MARCH 29.—This town has once
more to pride itself upon the presence of its il-
lustrious and best benefactor, the KING. His

Advices were received on Saturday from Trieste,
dated the 15th ult., stating that the Turkish and Greek fleets
had come to an action, in which the former have been defeated
With the loss of 25 vessels, of the class of transport ships. The
account rests on the authority of the commander of a vessel
arrived at Trieste, who declared that he was an eye-witness of
the engagement, hich was fought on the 3d ult. The Greeks,
it is said, had 75 sail, and the Tnrks only 80 ; and among
those were no ships of war of the first class. With respect to
the scene of the action, we are left without information, but it
is probable that it was fought in the Gulf of Lepanto. We
learn by letters of the 11th ult. from Ancona, that a vessel had
arrived there in ten days from Calamata, which reported that
the Turkish fleet had anchored off Navarino, and subsequently
entered the Gulf of Lepanto, where they were descried by the
Greek fleet, which immediately sailed in pursuit of them. It
would be the policy of the Turks, after landing the troops at
Patras, to convey reinforcements across the Gulf of Lepanto,
with the view of strengthening the operations in the NI ores ; a
measure which, to the Greeks, it was most essential to frus-
trate. That an engagement has occurred is therefore extremely
Probable.—( Times.)
Intelligence has been received from Madeira
of an unpleasant character. When the accounts came away
(Feb. 12), the soldiery, in a tumultuous manner, had taken
military possession of the island, and the guns of the fort were
pointed at the town. The cause, we learn, originated in the
writings of one of the priests, who had, in several recent pub-
lications, severely censured the conduct of the military during
the late revolution in Portugal. The inhabitants were in-
censed, and a spirit of insubordination manifested itself in the
garrison, which the officers were unable to subdue. A large
Party of soldiers went to the residence of the priest, forcibly
seized him, flogged him in the public streets, and left him
nearly in an expiring state: he was rescued from his perilous
situation by some of the humane inhabitants, and he afterwards
applied to the Governor and other authorities for redress.-
1 uring the progress of the investigation, it was reported that
the Governor had expressed himself very strongly on the out-
rage v. hich had been committed. This rumour was indus-
triously circulated, and the consequence was, the rising of the
soldiers against the local authorities. When the accounts came
away there were serious fears entertained that the soldiery would
Proceed to commit the greatest excesses.—( Morning Paper.)
DEMISE or SIR JOHN SYLITESTER.—Sir JOHN
SYLVESTER, (whose death we announced on Saturday), was
found in his bed by his valet, a corpse, at his house in Blooms-
burY-square ; and from the circumstance of his body being
nearly cold, it is believed that he had expired in the middle
of the night. Sir John had no previous illness ; he was
out walking several days during the week.—He was at
the King's Levee on Wednesday to make his report of
the Old Bailey convicts, and on Friday afternoon he
dined with the Duke of York and a party, at his Royal
Highness's house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. He returned
Koine about twelve o'clock at night, and retired to rest almost
immediately. He had been subject to a spasmodic affection
of the chest, pp
and it is supposed that he had had an attack in the
night and expired. Sir John was near 80 years of age, and had
been very infirm for some time. The Common Sergeant
(Knowles) is expected to succeed him. The office is, how-
ever, elective.

A Paris Paper states, that M. CHATEAU..
)3RIANn, whose appointment as Ambassador to
London was long ago announced, was to set out
definitively for that mission on Friday, with a
Legation composed of MM. MARCELLUS and
DELALOT son of the Deputy of that name, and
of M. 13EuTIN, son of the Editor of the Journal
des Debuts.
