il:e 'insurgents had posted tltemselves. Upon
their arrival, however, they found the peasants so
numerous, and the position they occupied so in-
accessible, that it was -deemed prudent not to ad-
vance upon them without a reinforcement,
❑ntil a cornmunication was made to the General
of the district. This was accordingly done, and
sanguine hopes were entertained, when. the last
advices left, that measures, sufficiently prompt
and vigorous, would be forthwith employed, to
allay the terror which had been excited, and to
secure the ultimate punishment of the guilty.—
According to one account, indeed, six of the in-
surgents had been apprehended, after a smart
engagement, and lodged in Bantry gaol. Sir
John Lambert dispatched a strong division of
cavalry on Tuesday evening, who were followed
on Wednesday by a further force of infantry, for
the protection of this district.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The accounts which the Irish Papers give of a
lawless occurrence in the county of Cork would
excite a considerable and undue degree of alarm
in the minds of those who do not know that the
Irish generally, in their excessive love of the
sublime in writing, instead of describing common
things in common words, exalt them to the level
of their own language. It is thus the reader
will find an engagemeitt" between the military,
commanded by Lord Bantry, and "a body of in-
surgents posted in great force in the mountains
between Bantry and Macroom," described in all
the pomp and phraseology of Guerilla campaign-
ing. There is a great variance between the dif-
ferent bulletins. The substance, however, seems
to be, that Lord Bantry, with a force, variously
represented as to number, from 13 to 200 men,
proceeded to a mountain-pass between Bantry
and Macroom, for the purpose of securing
a party of the depredators who have so long
outraged the laws in that part of Ireland.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We extract, in another column, from the Paris
Papers of Friday last, the continuation of the
debate on the projet relative to the Press. The
general discussion was closed. M. Chitilet,
the Reporter of the Committee, was to be heard on
Friday; after which the deliberation on the dif-
ferent articles would commence. A letter from
Venice of the Bth instant, in The Constitution-
net, states, on the authority of accounts brought
by a vessel which left Missolonghi on the 18th
ult. that Omar Vrione, Pacha of Delvenin, who
occupied the citadel of Athens, had capitulated,
together with the Commandant of the Castle of
Thebes. They had surrendered both places, on
condition of being allowed by the Greeks a free
passage to Janina. It is added, that the capitu-
lation had been strictly executed by Odysseus ,
and Pallascas, the Greek Chiefs, who guaranteed
it, and the two Turkish Commandants had
arrived at Janina. The Nuremberg Corres-
pondent, of the 18th instant, mentions a re-
port as being generally circulated at Vienna,
that the fortress of Janina had been taken by as-
sault by the Turks, and that Ali Pacha had been
killed. The letter above quoted, however, states,
that he had abandoned two forts, or only made a
shew of resistance, of which Chourschid Pacha
having obtained possession, the latter anticipated
the total defeat of his enemy ; but it was soon
found to be only a stratagem of Ali, who had
previously mined the forts, which were blown
up, and a great number of Turks who occupied
them were destroyed.

[MORNING POST.]
The Papers of Saturday and private letters ar-
rived yesterday from Paris. A Royal Ordinance
has been published containing a table of the po-
pulation of the different Departments of the King-
dom, by which it appears that the aggregate
population of France, according to the Census
made up to the Ist of January, 1822, amounts

,
to 30,465,291, being an increase of more than a
million and a half over the former Census.—The
patience of the Chamber of Deputies has failed,
as we anticipated yesterday, and though little
more than a fifth of the number of orators in-
scribed read their speeches on the subject of a
new Law, the general discussion was closed on
Thursday, and on Friday M. Chifflet, the Re-
porter, was heard in defence of the amendments
proposed by the Commission. The debate in
future will embrace the details of the law, not
its principle. The Court of Assize at Brussels

has terminated the affair of the Journal Called Le
Vrai Liberal. Messrs. Maubach and Collette
have been acquitted, and Count de Pestre de la
Ferte, and M. Orts
,have been condemned to
one year's, imprisonment, and the expences of the
process. These papers contain hut little intelli-
gence from the seat of war. A private letter dat-
ed from Venice on the Bth instant, states, that
Athens and Thebes had capitulated to the
Creeks, on condition of Omer Vrione and the
Commandant of the latter place having safe con-
duct to Janina. On their arrival they found.
Chourschid Paella congratulating himself upon
having taken the forts of ..Litharija.. and
Coulla. As they commanded Ali- Pacha's prin-
cipal strong hold his defeat appeared certain,
but this was a stratagem of the Old Wolf (as the
Epirots call him.) Before quitting the two forts
he had caused a mine to be made. under them,
which communicated with his own fortress on the
Lake, and some days after they were taken, he
blew them up with a great number of the Turks
who occupied them. The Suliots had faithfully
and readily marched to his assistance on his in-
forming them he wanted succour.
