'COLE?, QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1822.

There was a great bustle on 'Change this morn-
i4g, owing to a person having sold 4000 Spanish
()rids, and is not able todeliver them ; it is
thought he will be made a Bankrupt if it should
Prove a legal transaction.

The Provincial Journals of Ireland continue
to give melancholy accounts of the criminal ex-
cesses of the Rebels. The Government, how-
1/4ver, is on the alert, and the military force di-

rected towards the places where the outrages
chiefly prevail cannot but soon have the effect of
compelling the insurgents to relinquish atrocities.
The Dublin Evening Post, which, from its known
character, may be expected to speak with lenity
of these flagitious proceedings, affects to say
that threatening notices " cannot be the result of
secret combination among the people; for any
one possessed of the smallest portion of common
sense would discover, in an instant, that such a
proceeding would lead to the blowing up of all
their plots and projects at once ;" but is ably
answered by The (Dublin) Correspondent with
the following decisive argument :

- " If none of the conspirators, either in hopes of a reward, or
through remorse of conscience, make a disclosure, when they
resolve to commit a murder without giving their intended vic-
tim any intimation of the fate which awaits him, why does the
writer suppose that a discovery would be made, when the
wretches gave a conditional notice of their intentions ? The in-
ference of The Dublin Morning Post' is neither warranted by
analogy, nor confirmed by experience. As yet no information
appears to have been given against any of the members of the
plot, by any of the Conspirators.; but is not such a reluctance
to disclose to the Magistracy the most atrocious plots against
life and property, a presumptive proof that the same spirit of
diabolical fidelity to each other might exist amongst conspira-
tors elsewhere ?"

We have given an extract from the Cork Pa
per received this morning.

The Roman Catholics of Clare and Roscom-
mon have addressed • the Marquis WELLESLEY
in support of their claims. In answer to the
former his Lordship emphatically replies—

" Your knowledge of the Laws and Constitution of our Coun.
try must have apprized you, that my duty, in my present ste
tion, is to administer, not to alter, the law."

We received the French Papers of Saturday this
morning. In the Chamber of Deputies the Law
of Quarantine has passed by a majority of 9.19 to
87, after a very stormy debate. An Ordinance
from the KING was brought down to the Cham-
ber by the Minister of the Interior, recommend-
ing pensions to be bestowed on the French Phy-
sicians who went to Barcelona during the late
contagion ; on the mother of M. MAzET, one of
them, who died there ; and on the two sisters
of St. C_imILLE, who repaired thither to attend
the cick.

The question between Turkey and Russia still
remains in the same state of uncertainty. Prince
ITARDENBURG is reported to have received im-
portant dispatches from St. Petersburgh on the
14th instant, but the nature of their contents has
not transpired ; and a person of consequence at
Berlin is said to have received a letter from
Vienna, informing him that the Austrian Cabi-
net, dissatisfied with the answer of the Divan
to the note of the Mediating Powers, has de.
Glared that the free and unrestricted adop-
tion of all the articles that composed the
ultimatum of the Russian Cabinet can alone
ensure the preservation of peace ; and that
whatever may be the definitive decision of the
Sublime Porte, it was notified to the Divan that
it would not in any manner interrupt the harmony
which subsists for the maintenance of peace be-
tween Austria, Russia, and England. Two
English Cabinet Messengers coming from Peters-
burgh are said to have passed through Brussels
on the 19th, with the utmost expedition, on their
way to London, and two other Couriers,also from
the Russian capital, have arrived at Paris, one to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the other to
the Russian Ambassador.—The following are ex-

tracts :
" PAnts, FEB. 23. The Echo of the West, a
journal of Rennes, has the following article in its
number, the 19th February :
" We know not what news or what fears can have filled our
authorities with alarm, but for some days past all that we see
looks as if Rennes was to be the theatre of some great event.
The military posts are doubled ; people are forbidden to pass
after six o'clock opposite the powder magazines: a part of the
military. force is constantly on foot. The gen-d'armerie which
does duty in the city is augmented ; we meet it every where in
the avenues of the public places, in and out of uniform in the
streets, and at the doors of the houses ; it goes to meet the car-
riages, continually visits the hotels, seeks every where for in-
formation, and appears to be looking after some individuals
which it shews all possible eagerness to discover. It was
doubtless to make this discovery that a Commissary of Police,
with military attendants, has made a search, which seems to
have been ineffectual, in the house and garden of Colonel
Cebellon."
"The Ruche d'Aquitaine says its correspond-
ent at Grenoble states, that agents of insur-
rection continue to traverse the country, and to
circulate the most seditious writings. The same
Journal adds, that two songs which bear the
stamp of revolt and crime, have been clandes-
tinely printed and circulated at Bordeaux, and
that they are the objects of a very strict search."

46 PETERS/31:11GL', Drc.27.—The Emperor, con-
sidering that the want of cities and cotnmercial
establishments in Georgia, and the Russian pro-
vinces bordering on Caucasus, has been injurious
to commercial enterprise,
Sand retarded the im-
provements, which are practicable in those con-

tries, }:as addressed to M. Yerrnolofl; General of
Infantry, and Commander-in-Chief of Georgia,
an Ukase, dated the Bth of October, ordering,
in substance, that—
" All Merchants, Russians, or Strangers, who during the
space of ten years, commencing from the Ist of July, 1322,
shall establish a commercial house in those countries, 5..-01 ac-
quire the right of being enrolled in the first glide or Class, and
enjoying the exemptions from taxes annexed thereto. At the
expiration of this time, such as wish to continue their establish-
ments, or form new ones, shall submit to the general regula-
tions of the glides..
" During the time prescribed the Merchants, Russian, and
foreign, shall be exempt from the personal tax, from personal
service, and from having soldiers quartered upon them. They
must be subject, however, to pay the city taxes as proprietors
of houses.

" Portions of land will be granted under the authority of the
Government, at the current price of the country, and on con-
ditions settled by the Commandant-General."

" The Ukase contains also regulations with re-
spect to the introduction and transport of mer-
chandise."

Dutch Papers to the 23d instant have arrived,
and furnish the following article of

gence :-

"'BERLIN, FE8.14.---The latest accounts from
St.Petersburgh bring the following particulars
"..Numerous conferences are held . in, the hotel
of the Minister for Foreign. Affairs respecting
Turkey. Baron STROGONOFF is present at these
Councils, and seems to have great influence.—
Many couriers were dispatched, snipe to the
head-quarters of the Russian armies, and others'
with di,spatches for the Russian Ambassadors and
Ministers at Foreign Courts. Some Aides-de-
Camps, and other superior Officers from the
South of Russia, have arrived at St. Petersburgh.
The profoundest secresy is observed, both with
regard to the diplomatic negociatious and the
military dispositions. A Turkish agent is said
to have arrived at Teheran, to arrange all the
differences between the Porte and Persia."'

A Flanders Mail has arrived, bringing Brus-
sels Papers to the 2'2d inst. An article dated
from the Banks of the Danube states, upon the
authority of advices from Constantinople, that it
was extremely doubtful whether the war with
Persia had really terminated ; on the contrary,
recent intelligence tended to confirm not only
the continuance of the war, but also that hostili-
ties had been commenced with the entire know-
ledge and approbation of the Persian Govern.
ment.

artract of a Letter from Savannah, Jan 12.

We learn by Captain LORD, from Aux..
Cayes, that the last ad vices from Puerto Cabello
state the place to be still in the possession of the
Royalists, though it was daily expected it would
fall ; and it was said the Royalist troops had
expressed a willingness to surrender upon being
sent to Porto Rico. Market at Aux-Cayes dull ;
inland produce high."

NEw Yorac, JAN. 9.6.—We understand the
merchants of this city are following the example
of those of Norfolk, Richmond, &c. -and intend
to apply to Congress by memorial for the repeal
of the Acts of Congress prohibiting the direct
trade with the British West India Islands.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JAx. 10.

Mr. FLOYD laid upon the table the following
Resolution :

" Resolved, That the President of the United
States be required to cause to be laid before the
House all the correspondence which led to the
Treaty of Ghent, which has not yet been made
public, and which, in his opinion, it may not be
improper to disclose."
The above Resolution was agreed to.

We refer our Readers to an Article in our 4th
page, this day, under the head of AGRICULTURAL
DISTRESS, written by a Gentleman of extensive
property, but whose sole motive is the welfare
of the Country, and whose knowledge, talents,
and experience abundantly qualify him to forrn
the best opinions, and to suggest the soundest
measures.

By the Leeward Islands packet, letters were
received yesterday from St. Thomas's, dated the
22d ult. They confirm the declaration of inde-
pendence in the Spanish part of the island of St.
Domingo, which took place on the Ist of De-
cember last, and add, that the Leaders of the
Resolution had made an offer to incorporate that
territory with the Columbian Republic. This
intention, however, was in danger of being frus-
trated by the ambitious views of Preident
BOY ER, who was said to he marching an army
against that quarter of the island, in order to
annex it to his territory. The Island- of Porto
Rico is said to be threatened with a similar po-
litical change, and precautionary measures had
been adopted by the existing authorities. The
state of affairs on the Spanish Main is described
to be perfectly tranquil.
Last Tuesday, at a quarter before nine in the
morning, a smart shock of an earthquake was
felt in the whale city of Lyons, which continued
about a minute.

A letter from Bayonne of the 16th instant
states, that an order had been issued by the Pre-
fect of the Department of the Lower Pyrenees,
that all Spanish refugees or emigrants should quit
that district and repair to Toulouse or Bordeaux.
We are informed that 'WADDINGTON made an
ineffectual attempt to open the shop of CARLILE
in Fleet-street, yesterday morning, for which he
was taken into custody.—(Morning Paper.)
The house of Mrs. WILLETTS, No. 4, Penton-
place, Walworth, was broken into on Sunday
evening, between half-past six and half-past
eight, from which a considerable sum of money
in gold, nearly all the plate, and many valuable
papers, were taken.
