TAKE FLACK lIESPECTING THE CATROLIC QUES.

TioN, one great impegiment to the proposed
junction of Parties was thereby removed. His
Royal Highness then expreGaecl a high gdardie of
the merits of Mr. PERCISVAL, and the rest of
the Administration, and took a review of the bril-
liant events, so honourable to the British arms and
so essential to the national interests, which had oc-
cu. red during their administration, in .order to
justify the fa►our4ble opinions which he had ex-
pressed. In conclusion, his Royal Highness re-
peated his wishes that so ,iesirabie an union of Parties
as he suggested conl.l be carried into effet, and his
nio,t arocteus hopes that a Monarch so dear to
himself, and the people might be restored to the en-
joyment of that power' w*liich he had exercised with
such paternal solicitude and affection.

The Cork Advertiser of the 13th contains the

following areic:e :
A cunsiderable gogitation was experienced in this
City this morning, in consequence of a letter trans-
mitted by the Sovereign of Kinsale, to the Mayor,
-of which the following is a copy.
" Kinsale, half-put seven o'clock, P.M.
lath Feb. am

" SIR,

" I have the honour to acquaint you, that I have
just now received a communication from Major-Ge-
neral the Hon. THOMAS MAHON, commanding this
Distril, by his Brigade Major, that he had this
evening received an express from the Officer in
charge of the signal stationed at the Old Head of
leinsale, reporting that a signal had .been made
at the Sevens-Head Signal Tower (to the west-
ward), intimating that an enemy's small cruiser
was off, which was , shortly after followed by an-
other, signifying that an enemy's fleet of Line of
Battle ships was in sight. I feel it my duty to
give yOu the earliest information on the subjea.

" And have the honour to be,
Sir, your most obedient Servant,
WILLIAsx NEWMAW,
" Sovereign of Kinsale.

Ths Mayor of Cork.

We understand that a similar report was commu-
nicated by telegraph to Admiral Tnoataßoaouen, at
Cove, but that he is of opinion, and it is now the
prevalent opinion in this city, that the fleet in ques-
tion is not hostile. He has, however, dispatched a
frigate to the Westward to ascertain the 'fa-t.—Cork
eicivertiscr.

The following article is extra&ed from the Bir.
mini;hunz Commercial Herald:—
" The following anecdote has been reported to
us ; we do not vouch for its authenticity, though
ve receive it through a channel which-we believe

may be depended upon. Monsieur L— who
with his family reside in the neighbourhood of W—,
sent a cAttidential be. rvant to one of his tradesmen,
and infottned him that a small parcel would be sent
to his house, direaed for Monsieur B—, which, as
it would contain jewels, &c. of considerable value,
was requested to be lett until called,for. When the
box arrived, the tradesman thought it most prudent
to inform Colonel who is with the family, of
the circumstance; and upon the box being opened)
not jewels, but letters, partly in French and partly in
cipher, were found to be the contents; the whole
of which, we understand, babe been forwarded to
Government."

If this account be true, this Monsieur L— B—
\
has made a most ungrateful return to this country for
the kindness with which he has been received, and
has proved himself worthy of the nanie he bears.—
We trust that the business s iil be iuvestigated,,and
the facts ascertained. Whether) however, the pa-
ragraph in the Birmingham paper be coifed or not,

the recent conduct of General SIMON, and others,
will, we hope, induce Government-to watch with
greaser vigil,mco than ever, not only the condua of
the French prisoners upon parole, but also that of
the innumerable swarms of Foreigners at present
residing in this Country.

ibis morning we received a Mail from Anholt, of
which the following are extraels : '
ANHOLT, Fen. 7.=-Further accounts from Pome-
rania state, that previous to the French entering
Stralsund, a vessel was sent with information to
seven or eight ships laden with colonial produce,
bound there, under convoy of a Swedish ship of
war, which fortunately enabled them all to return
to Carlsham, except one, which being leaky, ,was
obliged to proceed.

The French have taken possession of the Island of
Ruben, and lave stized 0,)011, and numbered and
registered all the vessels which were lying there.

War between Russia and France ,s spoken of as
an affair determined upon ; the Prussian army is
situated in such a position that it is supposed it must
be compelled to join the French. Gen. BLUCHER,
who commanded the troops at Colberg, is said to
Lave resigned in disgust.

At Hatnbuigh, all kinds of grain have been taken
possession of on account of the French Govern-
ment.

AUTONA, JAN. 2g,—Yesterday was celebrated
in this town the anniversary of the birth of our
King with all due solemnity. The inhabitants on
this occasion expressed their respeaful attachment
to the person of his Majesty by their acciatnations
and the most lively demonstrations of joy.
COPENHAGEN, JAN. 20.—The coasts of Jutland
are still infected by the enemy's privateers.
The hull of the Defence is still to be seen, it
rises above the sea like a kind of tower. The tem-
pest has rendered all efforts to save the wrecks of
the shipwrecked vessels abortive. Admiral Ray..
NOLD'S Secretary did not lot% survive the happiness
of reaching shore ; he expired a short time after.
He had og guineas and some other pieces in a
purse, attached to the chain of his watch. He had
also about his person a port folio, in which were
some bank notes, and a piaure of his wife.
There were only two sailors wives on hoard the
Admiral's ship, and one Officer's wife in the Defence.

CARLSRUHE, JAN. 17.—The troops forming the
garrison of Frankfort, on the 12th inst. received or-
ders to proceed to Dantzic, and are to march on the
ist of next month. The battalion in Fulde is also
to march.

VIENNA, JAN. 1 3.--It appears the Grand Vizier
does not press the negociations with much aaivity,
and that he is occupied iu forming new armies.

Tranquility prevails in Servia, and it is pretended
that at most there are not above 10,000 insurgents
at the present moment under arms; they occupy
the redoubts and strong places ou the frontiers of
Bosnia.

ANCONA, Dec. 18.—We yesterday experienced a
violent gale of wind from the West, which broke
our windows, and carried off the houses a great
number of tiles. A ship laden with wood was
diiien against the bridge which communicates be-
tween the lazaretto and town, and broke part of it.
The persons performing quarantine in the lazaretto,
as well as the guard, had no provisions; but, thanks
to the aelivity of the PrafeB and other authorities,
some was sent them.

VIENNA, JAN. 8. —lntelligence was receiv-
ed here yesterday from Semlir., stating, that the
guns had been fired off at Belgrade, on account,
as it is said, of the Grand Vizier, who was in total
want of forage and pro% isions, having taken the re-
solution of making a sally from Rudschuck with his
whole army of 25,000 men, and of forcing his way
through the Russian entrenchments thrown up
round that fortress.

The same accounts state, that it came from thence
to a very sharp and bloody action, ih which, al-
though the Grand Vizier was fortunate enough to
escape with a part of his cavalry to Schurnla,
the rest of his army were either killed or made
prisoners. Should this report be true, ►t will doubt-
less soon be confirmed by official bmiletins from
Bucharest.
