LONDON,
MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1822.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Thursday and Friday, from which we giro
Extracts in a preceding column. They are
chiefly engrossed with the debates on thc PrP.'
posed Law for the Controul of the French r res 5

which in all probability will be adopted by tue
Chamber of Deputies, as amended by the C°'°'
mittee to whom it was referred.

The accounts from Madrid contain the imP°r:
taut intelligence that Cadiz has followed the
example of Seville, and submitted to the orders
of the Government. In both those towns The dis"
obedient Commanders of the troops had resigned

their commands into the hands of the Office's
who had been appointed by the KING to succeed
them. The whole of Andalusia may now be said
to have returned to their duty; and we con -
dently hope that the event will have the effect of
reducing Catalonia to obedience, which still con'
tinues opposed to the constituted Authorities d
Spain.

The citadels of Athens and Thebes have ca
pitulated to the Greeks; and we have' pleasure
hi observing that the affairs of Greece are pr"-

consisted of a serjeant and twenty rank and file,
Was- commanded by Lieutenant HUNGERFORD,
first Lieutenant of Captain HUNGERFORD'S corps.
The order to fire on the mob, it semis, was not
even given by Lieutenant HUNGERFORD ; nor did
ntlY person at any time give any order to fire on
the prisoners. The party of Yeomanry had
marched from the barracks at Clonakilty, in con-
sequence of a writ from Mr. It. B. NORCOTT, of
the Excise there. On arriving at the place where
the still
was at work, the Revenue Officers seized
it and the two men who were working it, giving
Them in charge of the Yeomanry. But for the
Precautions which were now adopted, the whole
Party must have been destroyed. Four horns
Were heard by the Yeomanry, sounded in diffe-
rent quarters ; and the people were waving their
''.atsshaflooing, and running in all directions.--In
!short time a vast number of men were collected ;
'.,WO of whom stepped forward, and audaciously
rclared that if the party persisted in attempt-
, 7, to carry off the still or their prisoners, " their
l'stits Should be pulled out on the spot." Lieu-
-4414nt HUNGERFORD, notwithstanding this threat,
of4eed the two prisoners, tied together, in front ,
Isiathe leading section, and gave the order to
searce• The prisoner (Buckley) hating requested '
trace to speak to his wife, was permitted to ad-
a few paces with her. At that instant the
ef-i!elaury.
" were assailed with a powerful volley
eavY stones, which knocked down some of the
c in their ranks, and threw the whole into
aonfusion
; of which the prisoners took advantage,
s:eti moved forwards. Before the Yeomanry had
re to recover their lines, they were assailed
another volley' of stones, when the Peace
osf6cer gave the order to fire ; and the fire being
it' course directed toward the crowd, BUCKLEY,
Supposed,- at that time received his wound,
4,1 the chance of war,—nobody knows how.—
4,s he firing was kept up for a few minutes, until
V,le rioters were forced out of a quarry, of which
neY had taken possession as their strong held,
" which Lieutenant HUNGERFORD humanely
ordered the firing to cease, in order to stop the
effusion of blood. The wounded prisoner (the
41:e011nt says, and this part of the statement cer-
141uly requires flu t!ier explanation), remained in
Elie hands of his party, far behind, where the
t'attle ended ; and if the Yeomanry had
:turned for him, it would have occasioned
il°ther attack, which was far better avoided.
s eVeral of the rioters, it is added, were killed
aiid '
tunwounded. A letter, signed " RICHARD
N
ORCOTT, SttrrejjOr of Customs, Cloniskiky ,"
Y confirms all the material parts of the ae-
OtIL Mr. NORCOTT states, that he was the
ucer of the Revenue who commanded the
party
c ; and that it was by his directions that the
schustable ordered the Yeomanry to fire. Ile
sZs that the surviving prisoner effected his
sss'e in the confusion,—that the number of
thsallants was upwards of five hundred,—and
li at the party owed the preservation of their
vss
Iss, only to their firmness and intrepidity.—
fli:land seems to be in a situation of increasing
ctraction and peril. The list of outrages re-
"ved this morning is so great, that we have not
roomlllL. for its insertion ; and it is useless to
selections from, cases which are all
a°,;Pe most part nearly- similar in their character
t-"" effects. The Insurgents, however, now begin
tollosar in open day, and to give regular battle
to King's troops. Lord BANTRY has been a
h-:und time repulsed by the rebels, in the neigh-
111%00d of Inchigula. His Lordship having on
ere !Ist inst. put himself at the head of about 40
snfitne neighbouring gentry, armed and mounted,
to °fa detachment of the 39th regiment,proceeded
the glen, with the view of apprehending some of
hi men who had made the previous attack upon

11,;(tltrY side, the party of the 39th was stationed,

llvY'll°wever, was quickly roused and assembled
fr'sssYellB and the sounding of horns, and a fire
between 250 and 300 men was commenced
04;1440rd Baxanty's party. The action was in a
l)sr.t time shared by the military ; and a soldier
est:4g ascended an eminence from which he',
iie'seeted to have a clear view of the insurgents,
tos.:4 struck down by some men who suddenly
from an ambush, and who immediately
have(' his arms and ammunition. The military
ttisur fired several rounds, obliged part of the
tissinbents to fall back ; but the remainder con-
' g to keep up a smart well-directed fire,
Maintaining a skilful disposition, Lord
tits 1;;1's party was compelled eventually to re-
' leaving the dead body of the soldier in pos-
issti" of the enemy. It is estimated that the
4iv 'gents sustained a loss of twelve men killed,
twoeea wounded, and two prisoners, besides the
141,41(11 originally apprehended by Lord BAN-
tigtil prisoners were 'detained at Bantry
Procha sufficiently strong reinforcement could be
cell 'red for their safe conveyance through the
