LONDON, SEPTEII7BEI: 6, iBo3.

Trt rs morning we received, by The I)mb/in Mail
of the 2d inst. another day's proceedings of the
Trials of the persons concerned in the Insur-
rtalOrl of the 23d July. Another of them' has
been conviEted. On Thursday Kearney was executed
pursuant to his Sentence, the justice of which
he acknowledged. On Friday Rothe was also
executed. These Executions, we have no doubt,
will have the best possible tired, in awing the Re-
bellious into a due sense of their crimes.

We understand from good authority, 'that Mar..
quis Comvwnws has offered his Services to go to
Ireland as Cominantier in Chief.

T!-I Prince Ernest Packet, and the 171 X hired
Armed Cutter, arrived on Saturday at Falmouth
with Mails; the former from the Leeward Islands,
and t►3e latter from Lisbon. They bring rno parti.
tular news.

New-York Papers to the 4thy!t, are receii'ed,
anct corntnunicate ucveral interesting articles of in..

laigpnce.

WE haVe been most reluctantly compelled' to no.
flee, from tLi to time, the weakness of Ministers,
as exemplified in constant changes of opinion in.
everymeasurecf importance which they have under.
dertaken. The determination to continue at Peace
one day, and make War the next, was pretty evi.'
dent in the whole course of the Negotiation with
France, previous to the present War. Since that
period, in the same manner, one &L they decided
to assist the Ilamverialis, then to leave thou to
their fate—at one time to engage transports to send
them succours, and then to pay, the demurrage,
under the false idea that they were at that time sub,.
dued ; and these resolutions and ottnter.resoltttions
continued till they were atqually over.whetmed.

The manngement of the affairs-of Ireland, if w•e
are rightly ic,f?lrmed, untbrtuniitely exhibited
the same varying tinAqtjtd

By the same irresolute aid wavering 'ottncils, the
whole spirit of the Country,which has so nobly mani.
feited itself, woldd be, lilt were possible,destroyed.
The history of Lord 11011 ART'S Office for the last
tilt weeks, has been a series of, Orders, and Counter.
orders—the very Clerks begin to laugh at Let.
ter after Letter has been circulated, to explain Ads
of PArliam:nt, and then other Letter to ctviain the
firmer. The Commanders of 'Volunteer Cot ps are
tired of describing the nature of their service to
the men, and the men feel themselves ill.treated
Somewhere, when these explanations are so often
tepeated, contradietOry 'to each
,other. The tffed
of all this has been to create great disgust and dis.
satisfadion in some of these Corps, and which we
understand'has shcwn itself throughout various parts
of thz Cdontry. Mr. AoutNeITON cutter tl}e
boldest or the most Indift'erent of men, for surely,
the responsibility of trifling with the split of the,
Nation at such a, moment as the present, is the
greatest responsibility a Minister ever, incurred,,
All atteuuSt at tracing any thing Like one system
itte .von this
.subj.La, as indeed upon mnst others
in which the Ministers are concerned, totally
baffled ; but ,we find it difi lilt to -discover
sy%tern adtd ni)on 'the notnent;lorL even this

ii never
.uniAlrtrr, nor does
,the price -explain it.
Vice were told that lottopty was the allied of the
viola important alteration- .of . reducing the DUM.
hers of \John-nem, and that perhaps there were'
, ,
pers7ons among Illetri whom' :it was jrn..

Another i we are told`' for 'reducing the num.
bet of the Volunteers ia, that there are certain Ex-
eruptions in thelate Ads of Parliament relating to
Voltsotvers, Which are', found inconvenient---the
utunbera,are first reduced, and then 'those' whose
ger vicei; have been first accepted, then refused,
are told that ther may still become S'uperng.

ink, in ii:/, smiking a bargain with the

Volunteers, to do away those very advantaged
which were given them by a Law introduced by,'
themselves. Would not al,l this be farcical, did it
not apply to a subje& so- seriout in itself? Can
the advocates or flatterers of Ministers 'justify such
imbecility, or will they even attempt it ? They
must at least take care how they proceed, for, if
not, while they are applauding one measure as wise
and expedient, they will find themselves left in the
lurch, and that another has been adopted totally
different, and probably diametrically opposite to
that which is the objeft of their praise

number of persons of that description in y
