z. ;

The Hon. Captain PERgY, son of Lord BE-•
VERLET, arrived this day at the Adtiiiralty with
dispatches from America. He came ip the Plan-
tagenet.

It is with sorrow we have to state, that he is
Tf
the bearer of very bad news. We are as yei int
•
acquainted with the particulars, but can state, that.
the substance of the intelligence received by Go-

vernment is, that, in a severe and sanguinary con-
flict with the enemy at New Orleans, we bad the
heavy misfortune to lose both Generals PAlti-
ENHAM and GIBBS, who were killed. General
KEANE, too, was wounded, and the total loss
sustained by the British force in Killed, Wound-
ed, and Priioners, amounted to no less than
about Two Thousand Men.

It is reported in the City that the troops were
re-embarking in consequence of this disaster, but
though the conflict must have been desperate and
murderous, we.have nor yet learnt from authority
that such has been its residt.

Should any further and authentic details trans-
I .I;ire, we shall not lose a moment in laying them
before an anxious Public.

We have French Papers to the 6th, and late
Brussels and Frankfort Journals—the former are
very barren, and, the latter almost equally unim-
portant. Bavaria, it is said, is to have Mentz.—
The Emperor of RUSSIA, it is now rumoured,
would leave Vienna on the Ist of March, and early
in the same month the Allied Sovereigns were ex-
pected at Berlin. The affairs of Switzerland,
Italy, and Germany, and the partition of the de-
partments on the left batik of the Rhine, are all
that remain for Congress to settle, since those .4,
Poland, Saxony, and Belgium, have been deter-
mined.

In our last page will be found a Report of the
Proceedings of the Westminster Demagogues, .and
elsewhere Details of fur'ther and fatal Outrages com-
mitted by the disorderly Mob which has assumed
the privilege of legislating in the summary, unjust,
and brutal way which was to be anticipated from
their excitement. From the latter it appears that
the fervent warning we yesterday gave, was, Am-
fortunately, given in . vain. A Midshipman, an
Officer i❑ the service of his Country, and a female
lost their lives in the midst of a. body of pernicious
and sanguinary Ruffians ! ! Can we pity these
devoted Wretches, or can we lament their fate
We may ; but, these feelings are repressed by the
consideration that their own folly and wickedness
provoked their destiny. It is under the cover of
the idle, the thoughtless, the curious:multitude,
that the really wicked, who we trust are few in
numbers, execute. their nefarious purposes. Were..
it not for. the senseless crowd who, follow and
swell the train of the mischievous few, they
would be innocuous—they thirst not venture to
be guilty of their diabolical excesses, defYing the
laws of GOD and Man, and subverting all that is
humanly valuable or divinely sacred among civi-
lized beings.

Go not in the way of the wicked, lest thy
fate be as his," is a precept we would earnestly
impress upon the public mind, and we trust we
Alan not again appeal to our Countrymen without

IVhile we are thus earnest in invoking every
understanding, every loyal, every moral 1119111 t
refrain from aiding insubordination even in tae
d-
most distant way, we cannot refrain from e
nouncing by name a Journal which appears to us
to be unpardonable in its efforts to feed the
flame of poptdar resentment, to stimulate, the
multitude to acts of violence, to palliate their
atrocities,. and to censure that necessary re”.

dregs of the metropolis, and surrender our throats
to the knives of a legion of assassins. We speak t°
THE TIIIIES. Holding nearly similar oPini°Pg.
with that Newspaper on the question of the Cora
Bill, we cannot sufficiently reprobate the evil
means which it has taken to support a good cause'
Good God ! are we come to this awful state, that
it is fit for a Public Journal to tell us' as we were,,
yesterday told, after noticing the outrageous "
lation by a furious mob, of every principle which .
binds society together, that—

" These are certainly not the arguments by
which we would see the Corn • Bill opposed'
though they are almost as rational as any that are
urged in support of it ! ! !"

Are we reduced to this desperate situation, as
to render it becoming in the same publication t°
tell us to-day, in speaking of the measures takers
to protect the castle of an Englishman agaius
ferocious assault, that " we must be allovol

concealed in the house bad been directed to para

Is it thus that the crime of the offenders ognilisf.

sophistical mode of argument, thrown UP%

write upon an attempt so baSe, so pregnant w./C
future mischief, so congenial with all that Os isj

We have made no side attack. We have specific,
the Paper, and challenged the Writer of these
ragraphs, whoever he may be, to exculpate br
ve
self from the incendiary offences of which
charge him with the deliberate commissiorl!
But we are convinced that no rational crew d

these bitter diatribes---we do not imagine ti!
even their Author will attempt to Pat'ty
them. Yet we have hopes that this open rem

and in that hope we sincerely recommend to ors
'utmost consideration the following passage Of 10
own composition, as what he has levelled at otbe'
so very forcibly applies to himself

",We grant that actual riot and outrage m
be put down ; and if the civil power cannot er
fect this; the military must be called in : but it—s 4

We had intended to offer remarks at some lenr'tb

but the press of more important matter prevehllite
us from executing our intention. The rabble

and remained for hours about his house sheoli/ji:
and rioting. The Hon. Baronet is, howevzo 3
advocate for the Corn Bill—he thinks the poPul%e
