submit to the disabilities which they have for
centuries laboured under. These may be fanciful
disabiliti,— (as some free-born Englishmen have the
shame' ess to call them) but such as they are,the
revolutionary Parliament sitting in Dublin, and
the six millions whom they sway, "confident in
their might," arc resolved to.- terminate" there.
We do not question the present power of Eng-
land to subdue them in pitched battles—if the
Boyne'should again run red with blood, the issue
will doubtless be the same as on the memorable Ist
ofJuly,,providedthat &wormy, conteary to our ex.
perience in the American War, inters heartily into
tee cause of subjugation. But the prospect is too
frightful for humanity to contemplate, (though
an Orangeman's eyes miriltt gloat on the scene),
and he must possess a mind unaccountably con-
structed, who would deliberately prefer such real
and desolating horrors, to the visionary and
ludicrous fears of Catholic Ascendancy.
If, then, matters are rapidly approaching to
such a crisis, is it riot clear that England must
make terms with the Irish Catholics ; and if the j
present Government were to go out, from their
conviction of such a necessity, where could ano-
ther be found, who would obtain the supplies
from the House of Commons, and at the same
time undertake the conquest of Ireland ? Let
those who are inclined to poison the Royal mind,
weigh well the answer to this question, and then
say, whether they act the part of good and loyal
subjects, in urging counsels so replete with dan-
ger to their Sovereign and to the State ?

According to accounts from Nuremberg of the
13th inst. it is said in some journals that Aus-
trian horse•dealers are visiting the Upper Pala-
tinate to purchase dragoon and train horses for
Bohemia. Private letters from Bohemia, in fact,
state that considerable movements of troops have
taken place in that country, and that a general
levy of recruits has commenced.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung of tie 14th of
May, says that Count PIIILOPOVICH, of the
Austrian General Staff', had returned to Vienna
from Constantinople. The Russian Manifesto,
and Count WITTGENSTEIN'S Proclamation,
had been received in the same capital. The
Metalliques, on the 9th instant, were 89i, and
Bank Stock, 1010.

By accounts from the frontiers of Bosnia, to the
9th of. April, there were in Belgrade several
thousand regular troops ; at Schabaz, Jernandria,
Nissa, and other small fortresses, about 10,000
troops of every description. There was no news
from Constantinople, except what related to
trade. The traffic with the capital was very con-
siderable.

From Wallachia they received the most contra-
dictory accounts ; some times they were told that
the war with Russia was unavoidable, and some-
times that peace would not and could not be
terrupted. Travellers who come from that cOun7
try afHrmed, thatem the

THE FUNDS-(TILIS DAY).

CITY, TwELPs o'CLocit.

There has not been any thing particular in the Stock
market, except that money does not appear quite so plenti-
ful., Consols opened at 851 I for this, and 85f for next
time, at which rate not the slightest fluctuation up to the
present time has taken place ; the Commissioners gave 85g.
India Bends are a trifle higher, being 99 pm. ; Exchequer
Thus, 65 pm.

The Foreign Funds have had but little attention to-day,
except some stir which has taken place in Portuguese Bonds,
which improved from 521 2 to 54, buyers, but have since
receded to 535 ; this advance has been, in some measure,
occasioned by a report that the Portuguese Consul had
stated, with reference to the approaching dividend due on
the let of June, that the Bonds were depressed much below
what in the actual state of affairs they ought to have been ;
this brought some buyers into the market, and caused the
rise; Brazilian from 59 1, went up to 591 I; Russian,
89i I; Mexican, 431 ; and Danish, 60.
In Shares, prices arc -nominal ; Brazilian Mines 64 6 pin. ;

Some sensation was excited, this morning, by an adver-
tisement of a contract in a Morning Paper, for the supply
of 36,000 loads of African timber, for the use of his
Majesty's Dock-yards; a quantity which it appears would
employ 100 sail of vessels to bring to this country ; of this.
5,000 loads are to he delivered this year, and 10,000 each
in the years 1529, 1830, and 1831. The whole of this
large supply is to be of No. I quality., that is of the best.
possible description.

at the Royal Academy. The plaintiff had pof painting,
length portrait of his Majesty, for which his Majesty bad
been graciously pleased to sit, and had sent it to the Exhibi-
tion, and in the notice contained of it in the Joint 80/ was a
passage to the following effect :—" That the impudence of
an individual deserved to be exposed ; that a person named
Thompson, who put after his name the letters R. H. A.,
had painted a portrait of his Majesty, which was only tit
for a sign .post at an inn, and that be had imposed on his
Majesty by asking him to sit for his portrait, as part of a
representation of his Majesty's departure from Ireland. His
Majesty bad condescended to sit for a short time, and Mr. T.
then stuck the sketch of his Majesty's face upon a piece
of canvas, and sent it to the exhibition as a full length
portrait." 'This was the libel complained of, and he con.
tended that it extended so far beyond the bounds of f Lir
criticism, that his client was entitled to a verdict for such
damages the Jury might think an equivalent for the injury
a professional man must sustain from a libel so unfounded
and malicious. The picture would be produced to the
Jury, and they would judge whether it was such a one a
