In our last we mentioned the arrival of the brig Indian Chief,
Capt. Satinet Leeman, from Kingston, -(i amaica), and likewise
stated that he was robbed of 2,200 dollars ; since winch Capt.
Leeman has furnished us with a particular account of the bar-
barous manner in which -he and his- crew were treated by the
pirates, as hIS also Captain Stewart, late of the schooner L'Ab.:
were, who- was a passenger on board.. It appears that they,
were all threatened with death, -.and several were badly cut and
bruised. Their treatment being similar to that received by the
crews of the .Colus and Francis, and before published, the
gentlemen will excuse cur not giving' their statements in full.
In addition to the 2,200 dollars„ Captain Leeman was robbed
of cash, clothing, &c., to , the amount of about'B6l., And Capt.
Sto.w.lrt of property amounting to about 501.; they were, in fact,
stripped as wzil as the. crew or evay thing excepting what they
had on.

Mr. ALLEY, on the behalf of the prisoner, argued, that the

The RECORDER over-ruled the objection. It was for the

%Ve have very little fresh corn in since :Monday, but the de-
mand being very slack, we could only mention Monday's prices
fot the best samples of grain, but the inferior sorts could not
be got off at a reduction of from 2s. to 35., per quarter ; the
trade very dull for every thing.

The official return of the average prices of grain for the

Rye, 265. sd. ; Barley, 295. 4d. ; Oats, 21s. ld. ; Beans, 295. sd.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING. PAPERS

Noeniber 2.

[MORNING CITRONICLE:] •
Yesterday morning the Lords Justices a.s.
sembled at one o'clock at the Cockpit, White.;
hall, and ,remained in close consultation till near
half-past three. The unusual length of their
Lorthhips' deliberations created a belief that
some matter of great state importance was under
consideration ; upon the breaking up of the
(7ouncil a Messenger was immediately sent.off to
the Continent with dispatches for the King and
the -.larquess of Londonderry. The Archbishop
of Canterbury, the Duke of Wellington, the
Marquess
,Cholmondeley, the Right Hon. G.
Bathurst, and Lord Sidmouth, were present ;
the Duke of York was expected, but did not
Sir It. Ilirnie' and Mr. Stafford were

writing the above, we have been informed that
the accounts received from Hanover represent

;Vlajesty to have completely recovered, though
It was not believed he would be able to set out
on his journey on the 20th. The object of the
protracted deliberations of the Lords Justices is
i%id to have been the unfavourable turn which
the negociations on .the subject of Turkey, 'now
carrying on at Hanover, have taken.

[MORNING HERALD:,
londay's Paris Papers contain the most la-
mentable accounts of the ravages made by the
yellow feNer. Bawelona is one great lazaretto,
strewed with the dying"and the dead. In Bar-
celonetta therewas not left a living creature. One
nt. the French physicians is said to have died,
and another was dangerously ill. An obviously
salutary measure, proposed by the doctors there,
-has been defeated by the obstinate ignorance or
apprehensions -of tine military cordon. The phy-
sicians wished that all the inhabitants should go
out of the ,town ; but. the Commander of the
cordon refused to enlarge the circle by falling
baCk a league. There is an account of election
disturbances, which appear to be nothing more
than parish squabbles, caused by the return of
some Priests, who were suspected of hatred to
the new order. It should be'observed, that these
were but the primary elections for choosing, not
'the members of the Cortes, but only those who
should return them. The French Moniteur pro-
nounces the article in the Berlin Giszette, to
which we alluded some days since, to be non-
official. There is nothing of interest from the
north or -east of Europe.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
It is very distressing that day after day we
should still feel the necessity of repeating tales
of outrage perpetrated iu the County of Limerick.
The character of the disturbances in that part of
Ireland seems by every successive arrival to
deepen in atrocity, as if the crimes already com-
mitted had but served to give a more desperate
fearlessness to the criminals, and to nerve the
arm of guilt. The presence of the great military
force, which has been assembled in the disturbed
districts, has not produced as yet any salutary
effects ; it cannot arrest the progress of a moral
poison which arises from a relaxed habit of
society. In the midst of all the bustle of
military movements, houses are plundered of
fire-arms, threats of personal violence are inso-
lently and alarmingly communicated, and ob-
noxious individuals are attacked. The military
power has done nothing to check this evil spirit,
and in fact can do nothing. If indeed the ruf-
fians who infest the country would come forward
in their full force, whatever it may be, and give
battle to the King's troops, some good might be
anticipated from the employment of a large
army ; but a half dozen fellows are sufficient to
keep a large district in constant apprehension,
and if these remain faithful to each other, they
may succeed for ever -in eluding the pursuit of
regular troops. We lament to find that the spirit
of disturbance has manifested itself in part of the
county of Cork, but the ready zeal and energy of
the Magistrates and Gentry of that county were
manifested by their immediately meeting on the
first symptoms of the disorder, and passing reso-
lutions indicative of their determination to main-
tain the peace and security' of their county.—
They agreed to raise by subscription among
themselves the means of embodying two
corps of volunteers ; the one of Cavalry and
the other of infantry, in aid of the ordinary
military and civil power of the country, and to
request from the Government such an application
of the small force of 175 rank and file of a regular
regiment as from their local knowledge might
prove most available for the public service. So
active and efficient a co-operation between the
local Magistracy and the Government, where the
zeal and ready sacrifices of the one must justify
Me confidence of the other, cannot fal! of pro-
ducing the most salutary effects.

[MORNING POST.]
Advices to a late date were yesterday received
from the Mediterranean. They chiefly relate to
the alarm excited by the ravages of the yellow
fever and its extension to new towns and pro-
vinces. Measures of precaution are becoming
general in all the neighbouring States, and as
distance cannot render any country secure against
a scourge which may be wafted over oceans, un-
diminished in power and activity, it becomes all
Governments to provide as effectually as they
can, for the protection of their subjects against
its introduction by human means. If- notwith-
standing their care the infection reaches their
land, then it is a visitation from Heaven, and must
be met, not merely by the palliatives of art and
experience, but by national humiliation beneath
that Hand that smites empires and generations
for their iniquities. It appears' by these advices
that the Board of Health at Marseilles has
ordered that the port should be closed against
all vessels that come from any part of. the
Spanish coast along the Mediterranean, as well
as from the ports between Gibraltar and the fron-
tiers of Portugal. This measure had been con-
Aidered.necessarY in c9nsequeuse, of several per-

sons from the Spanish- coast raving died. of the
yellow feizer at Marseilles.. A case of a sospit
cious nature had also appeared amongst the in-:
habitants of that city, but immediate precau-
tions had been taken by the Medical Boards, and.
it was found'tha:t the general state of health had
not' been affected: The. intelligence received at
the beginning of the; week .from Malaga, an-
nounced that a greatnUmber of the inhabitants,
had fled to the country, in consequence
.of a
report, supposed at that period to be unfound-
ed„ that the yellft fever had revealed itself
within the walls of that town. The report had
been subsequently contradicted; but we regret to
say with more zeal than truth, for its correctness
is now unfortunately placed beyond doubt
Letters from Malaga, dated Oct, Bth, state, that
on the preceding day UPwards of sixty individuals
had been taken ill, and that ten had -already
died. The Civil AUthorities were go seriously
alarmed as to prepare to leave the town and re-
move their seat to another part of the province.
The tenor of the letters from Cadis is also unfavour-
able, as they mention that a feW suspicious cases
had appeared at San Lucar de Barremeda. With
respect to. Barcelona, its population 'was decreas-
ing so fast, whilst the fury of the pestilence re-
mained unassuaged, that unless a change took
place, it was likely that in a month or two desert
ruins Would alone remain *here a flourishing
eity once stood. The few inhabitants who still
lingered within its desolated precincts were re-
duced to a deplorable state, -for want of the
most common necessaries •of life. This Circum-
stanve having been communicated to the King,
is Majesty had ordered a public subscription to
e opened for their relief.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Morning Chronicle has endeavoured to
defend the_conduct of the Noble Subscribers to
Sir It. Wilson in an article, the close reasoning
of which is only exceeded by the perspicuity of
its style. Its character, indeed, in both respectS,
is such as to lead to a suspicion that the writer
must have lately taken lessons from the Editor of '
The Times.—lts readers are informed that we
have " ventured to contrast the magnitude of the
sums advanced by public spirited individuals to
obviate the effect of a forfeiture occasioned by
an act 'of gross injustice, With seasonable and
judiciously apportioned contributions to sup-
port the unfortunate and afflicted." It is
then argued that, " where a whole community,
Whig, Tory, and Radical, unite in promotion of
one praiseworthy design, the sum contributed by
each individual is, of course, proportionably
small." 'And it is•added, that, the Public " are
now called upon to indemnify Sir Robert-Wilson,
for a loss sustained by an interference that saved
the lives of husbands, of fathers, and of children."
There is a peculiar difficulty in replying to a
writer who uses such language as we have just
qthrod. Our sentences must, it would appear,
be formed with the Most careful simplicity,in order
even to be understood, by one who appears not to
have advanced so far in his spelling-book, as to have
acquired the meaning of" words of three syllables."
—He talks of Sir Robert Wilson's " forfeiture
,aving been occasioned by an act of gross injus-
'•--lie knows as well as other people that
was occasioned by the" interference" to which
e afterwards alludes, and which he certainly
toes not intend to call " au act of gross injus-
tice."—lle appears not .to be aware that a " for-
feiture" means a penaltfattached 'to neglect of
'or violation of some duty, and'cannot be applied
to Sir- Robert without confessing him to have
acted criminally.

CE.~~•

[THE TIMES.]*
The subjoined letter appears to us to'deserve
very serious consideration, .not for the extent of
the mischief which the individual act therein de-
scribed may occasion, but because it shews the
principle on which the Ministers are acting.
They make a great noise and take immense cre-
dit to themselves for their new system of eco-
nomy ; but the public will be slow to yield
its praise to a mode of retrenchment which cur-
tails the hard-earned gains of the useful labourer,
and leaves the idle pluralist to fatten on the pub-
lic property, as a reward for the silent votes of
himself or his friends. We are surprised that
a man of such honourable feelings as the
Earl of Liverpool should give his sanction
to a system which goes to strip of his little pit-
tance the humble officer who can least spare and
most deserves it ; while overgrown and useless
sinecures are considered as inviolable as if they
were held by the most sacred right. With refe-
rence to the particular fact mentioned in the let-
ter, we are confident that the most strenuous ad-
vocates for economy never contemplated, .and
would have blushed to recommend, so pitful a
proceeding as the stoppage of a hospital allow-
ance of ss. a day, bestowed for most humane,
charitable, and useful objects. -
[Extract of a Latter from Aberdeen, dated Oct. 26, 1921.1
" As a signal specimen of the retrenchment adopted by Mi-
nisters, I may 'mention that two days ago the Treasurer of our
Aberdeen Infirmary received notice that the dovernment allow-
ance of ss. per day is henceforth to be discontinued ! This was
given in bider to entitle soldiers,, sailors, and other servants of
Government, to the benefit of the Institution. The Establish-
ment is one of the most useful in the country, and is upheld by
charitable contributions and annual collections at every parish
church in the county. Every parish contributing, has the pri-
vilege of recommending, as patients, its own sick and wounded,
who are administered to, and upheld in every thing gratis'
The Public naturally ask, Why is not the Duke of Gordon's
sinecure abolished ? It would afford payment to all the Infir-
maries. in Scotland, a3u.l a great deal more."

The saving which will accrue to the country
by thus excluding soldiers and sailors from the
benefits of this asylum for the sick or mutilated,
is about a hundred a year—a sum which, if taken
from the overflowing and unearned heap of the
sinecurist, would scarcely have robbed his butler's
daily table of one, of its superfluous bottles of
wine. The-same •petty spirit" of economy per-
vades -all departments, particularly those great
establishments the Dock-yards : and we expect
to be soon able to make it Manifest to the
public, that the paramount principle of the
new and boasted -scheme of retrenchnignt is
to curtail and redUce the useful, active, ef.-

ficient, and necesAry . hands, aha to leave!untouched and:unmolested the rich, the idle,
and the us.eless thus sacrificing jnstice and
humanity to the unconstitutional claims of borough
patrons and Parliamentary supporters. \Ve 11'01)i.
and trust that this diseased system Will soon-
work its own cure ; that the glaring injustice of
Such a mode of proceeding will strike conviction
into the most careless and unobserving- ; and that
even those Who most benefit by it, will, from a
sense of shame- and a dread of reprobation, give
up those unfair advantages; which even the Minis-
ters who leave them untouched despise them for

vtaining.

[From The (Dublin) Correspondent of Oct. 29.]

STATE OF THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
The intelligence received in town this day from the County
of Limerick,strongly exhibits two, things—the infatuationof
the deluded. peasantry, and the efficacy of the measures- of Go-
vernment in preventing the.assasSins from accomplishing their
horrible designs. Houses are plundered of fire-arms, and the
dcluilCil wretches are still actuated by a thirst of. blood ; but
the precautions adopted by the Government are. sufficient to re-
strain, though not to suppress, the sanguinary spirit, which
thus sets at 'defiance the whole power of the State. We must say,
however, that the exertions of the Government are not properly
seconded by the resident Gentlemers .and we deplore the .pre-
valence among them of a temporizing policy, 'which is no less
injurious to their country than discreditable to themselves...:-
Various observations • suggest.thernselyes on this occasion, but
we shall reserve what we may feel necessary to say on the sub-
jeGt,-until we shall have first submitted to our readers the fol-
lowing extracts from the Limerick Chroniele of last Saturday :
This day the detachments of the 93d Highlanders, lately
quartered at -YOuglial, Cloyne, and Dungarvan, under the coin,
mand of Captain Lunt, arrived in this garrisim. Two com-
panies of the 93d Highlanders are to be stationed at the Castle
Barracks, in-this city. Yesterday, twenty-four recruits for the
93/ Regiment arrived in this city, from Scotland, and this day
proceeded.to join the Regiment, at Ennis.. A representation
having been.made to Government relative to the reply given by.
Colonel Douglas, of the 79th Regiment, to Sheriff Cuthbert, on
his application for military aid, an inquiry was made into tho
afthir, and the result is, that the explanation given by the Cd-
lonel was quite satisfactory, both to the Government and the
Commander of the Forces, and their approbation has been offi-
cially communicated to the Colonel. Robert O'Callaghan
Newrnham, Superintendaht General of Barracks, is
especially ordered to Newcastle, to meet Major-General Sir
John Lambert ; he arrived there this day. By the following
communication from. Government, it appears that the highly
respectable and efficient corps, the Adare.Yeomanry, are, i'roni
Wednesday last, placed on permanent duty. We are confident
that their best exertions will be given to the suppression of out-'
rage in that neighbourhood, and, by their local knowledge,
several of the fire-arms taken from the peaceable householders
will be recovered:—
" Dublin Castle, Oct. 23, 1821.
"San-=I have had the honour to receive and lay before the
Lord Lieutenant, your letter of the 18th instant, respecting
the disturbed state of the county of Limerick. His Excel-
lency commands me in reply, to acquaint vou, that, from the
several representations which have reached Government, he has
deemed it expedient to call out, and place upon permanentduty, the Aline Yeomanry, and which purpose the .neces-
sary warrant was forwarded to the corps by last night's post.

prevented Shire from making resistance. Last night, a considera-
ble number of armed men attacked several houses in the neigh-
bourhood of Cappavilla in the county of Clare, and took fire-arms
therefrom. ASGeorge Leake,Esq. was returning from Rathkeale
this week, attended by four dragoons (2 in front and 2 in rear),
two fellow's armed with muskets rushed out of a house at Bar=.
nakyle, just after .he had passed it, supposed with intent to as-
sassinate him, but desisted on the appearance of the soldiers in
rear, whomaliey had not observed before, and retreating quickly
round the house, made off. . •
Among the numerous outrages that have disgraced this coun-
ty, we have to record the following:—" On the night of Sune
day,the 12th of September, a number of armed men, styling
themselves Captain Rock's Corps,' entered the dwelling house
of John Sullivan, Esq., of Tullilease, near Charleville, and sucr
ceeded in taking a musket, (the only arms in the house,) with
which they made off. Again, on Tuesday, the oth instant,
they made a second entry, and, in a threatening manner, de-
manded more arms, which they said Mr. Sullivan had concealed,
but, on being assured that there were none, they went away,
after breaking some windows. On Tuesday night, the 16th in-
stant, they, a third time, tumultuously entered and broke open
Mr. Sullivan's private desk, which they rifled of various papers,
among which were many of -importance. Mr. Sullivan being
possessed of some property, in tithes, in the counties of Cork
and Limerick, the papers relatiye thereto. were their declared
'Object." . . .
Amidst the general disturbance, there is no part of the county,
in which thuoutrages of the malrcontents have risen to a higher
pitch of excess than in the farm of
.Glenabine and its neigh-
bourhood. This is a large farm in the vicinity of Newcastle,
which was evicted for non-payment of rent; it is at present in
the possession of Edward Sheeby, of Ballintobber, Esq. The
lawless banditti that infest this part of the county have endea-
voured, by repeated threats and incessant injuries to his cattle
and other property, to compel this Gentleman to the abandon-
ment of the place. Such is the state of insubordination existing
there, that a herdsman would not be permitted to reside upon
the ground.- On Saturday last, Mr. Sheehy sent one of his men
(Thomas Reddy) to bring from the farm a bullock, whose legs
had been broken by some ruffians the evening before ; the man
had scarcely appeared on the ground, when two fellows, armed
with pitchforks, (with which they had been making hay in the
adjoining meadow, for the Rev. Mr. Geraghty,) rushed frorti
the body of the hay-makers upon time unfortunate man, cut and
beat him most cruelly, and left him for dead. The • man was,
however, taken up alive ; but we regret to add, that his reco-
very is despaired of. Prior to this outrage, a man of Mr.
Shecbv's had been fired at, and his herdsman inhumanly flog-
ged. The cause of this annoyance to Mr. Sheehy and his pro-
perty we are totally at loss to discover, unless it exists in the
circumstance of having taken.a farm which had been evicted for
non-payment of rent ! Should this desperate system prevail,
what guarantee of security can any man have for the possession
of property ?
The offices of the Castle at Newcastle are fitting up for a
temporary barracks.
Wednesday evening, the High Sheriff of this country received
an order, conmmuting the sentence of Michael Shaughnessy from
death to transportation for life to Botany Bay ; for which place
he was sent on a route to Cork, at an early hour on Thursday
morning, under an escort of the Pith Dragoon Guards. Shaugh-
nessy was to have been hanged this day.
A respite has been received by the High Sheriffs of the city
of Cork, for the persons who had been sentenced to death at
the late Assizes.
In consequence of directions received from his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant, C. B. Barker, Esq. High Sheriff of the
County of Tipperary, has called a Meeting or the Magistrates
of that county, at Killenaule, on Tuesday next, at twelve
o'clock.
We see, in the foregoing accounts, the same restless spirit,
and the same audacious combination, which have already pro-
duced the most hideous crimes, without any hope for the safety
of the peaceable and loyal part of the inhabitants, unless in the
presence of a large military power, marching and counter-
marching through the disturbed districts, by night as well as
by day. The large rewards which have been offered for the dis-
covery of the murderers of the late Air. Going have not induc-
ed any one of them to give information against his associates,
and the desperate fidelity which they exhibit, at a inonient when
mutual distrust ought to excite each of them to anticipate what
lie should suspect in his comrades, is a proof of the magnitude
of the danger.—The troops in the disturbed districts are as
much harassed as if they were in the country of an enemy, with-
out even seeing an armed foe, but without knowing at what mo-
ment they may be attacked.—The life of every loyal, or peace-
able, or industrious person is exposed to danger every moment,
because the assassins are not detected : while the' real strength
of the State is liable to be undervalued by the wretches, who are
spared on account of the veneration widen the Government feels
for the Constitution, but who seem, by their atrocious obsti-
nacy, to justify the application of the most coercive measures.—
The power of the Constitution, however, in this case can only
act defensively against the machinations of such wretches, 'par-
ticularly as the object of the conspiracy has not been as yet fully
developed ; but as the Irish Govennuent has taken every pre-
caution not incompatible with the liberty of the subject, for the
an
protection of life d propel t)', we think we can trace time policy
as well as the character of the,Administraeion in the measures,
which have beeii adopted for the safety of the State. The
measures taken by the Government are operating calmly, and
we hope successfully, for the re-establishment of tranquillity.

-It is not necessary to shew the falsehood of such an assertion,
particularly as the atrocious calumny cannot be :created at the
present. moment, when the British GaaVermnent is at peace
with the world, and when -the Sovereign 'is respected
abroad as much on account of the energy .of his mind,

---Yet at such a moment, when the Ertecutive Power '
is irresistibility strong, the measures of -the Government are as
mild and as conciliatory, as if its existence depended on the fa-
,
vout of a mob. Surely, the measures whichhave been adopted
for the public safety in the county of Limerick, and the pre-
cautionary steps which are about to be taken, by the express
directions of the Government, in the.. county of Tipperary, to-
morrow, for the purpose of preserving tranquillity, shew the pa-
rental feelings which actuate the Government, even at le mo-
ment of general alarm. It is not the, true spirit of the Consti-
tution that the laws should be so defective as to-allow murderers
to .effect their horrible purposes unpunished, or that the liberty
of the subject should enable assassins to destroy every peace-
able person. If the existing , laws should not reach the perpe-
trators of the most ' horrible of crimes, and if rewards
should not induce any of the '. assassins to make a
discovery of the extent of a plot, which, as we Jearn by the
1 Provincial ' NeWspapers, is on the eve of an explosion in
other counties, and. if every supporter of the Constitution
should be in danger of being murdered- on account of his loyalty
or his zeal, then the Constitution itself would fail to produce
that benefit for whieh 'it is so' deservedly prized—namely, flie.•
protection of,life and 'property, with the enjoyment or rational
liberty In such a case, the boasted freedom of the subject
would not be the liberty of industriOus persone to follow their
ordinary businessit would not be the liberty of the opulent to
enjoy their wealth—or, it would not be the liberty of the loyal
to walk on the King's high- way.; but ,it would be the privilege
of assassins to commit their crimes With impunity, as it would
be the right of Conspirator's to become lievotutionists.—lf we
were to Offer a cdnjecture.respecting the intentions of, the Irish
Administration, we would suppose that they will do every - thing
which may be strictly conformable to the laws ; but • that
no measure will be adopted which may be inconsis-
tent • with • the privileges , enjoyed under the Constitu-
tion, . If the ordinary course of justice shall effect so
.desirable
an object as the re-establithment of public tranquillity, then the
Government will be content with what may have been done for
the safety of the State, and leave the moral regeneration of the
tumultuary partuf the peasantry to the influence of their Pas-
tors, and to the equitable administration of the laws. But, if
such mild and benevolent intentions should be disregarded by
the infuriate peasantry, we suppose that the Government will be
content with restraining the tumultuary spirit, . and preventing
assassination, until the Parliament shall meet, and that the Mi-
nistry will propose the enactment of such measures es will-place
public tranquillity, on a permanent basis. We conceive that
such is the. olicy which is adopted ; because we believe thatthe
members of the Irish Administration, who are as distinguished
for their wisdom as for their mildness of temper and their ha-
bitual veneration' for the true principles of liberty, would not
imitate the conduct of that King of Spain, *hi) forfeited his life
by his unwillingness to deviate from the grave etiquette of
,the
Escurial ; but would think. it to be extreme folly to adhere to
. the forms of the Constitution, until all the cirennistances. which
make the Constitution valuable Should be utterly lest. •
