THE ARMY.

of the Commander-in-Chief, that no more troops
could be spared from England, that •intentioa
was abandoned ;—a circumstance which. spews
pretty plainly, that the •reduction of the army has
been carried to at least as great an extent' as was
prudent.--Captain Drought, appointed 'to -com-
mand the Police under the- Peace Preservation
Act for the City and Liberties of Limerick, ar-
rived there on Friday last—Lieutenant Goslett,

unhappy sufferers might have been saved. " The Captain of a
vessel coming up in the morning; saw a man on the mast, and
every endeavour was made to rescue him, without effect, as the
sea was running high at the time. Several craft are supposed.
to have been lost in the Channel, as quantities of wreck are con-

PERJURY ON OBTAINING A :MARRIAGE LICENCR.
—A suit having been instituted in the'Dean's
Consistory Court at Litchfield, against. kobert
Green, keeper of the Bridge Toll-gate :in that
city, for wilful and corrupt perjury on ob-
taining a marriage licence from the Rev. Mr.
Moore, Curate of St. Martin's; 'in Birming-
ham, and articles having been exhibited which
he admitted to be true, a sentence was pro-
nounced against him on Monday the 19th inst. in
open Court, and a very' solemn admonition was
given to him by the Very Reverend the Dean,
who pointed out to Green the enormity, of the
crime of perjury, both as it regarded him in hissocial
and religious capacity, in the most serious and
impressive terms. The said Robert Green was
also condemned in full costs of suit.—This pro-
secution is the second which has lately been pro-
moted by the Principal Surrogate of this Dio-
cese against persons who have committed wilful
and corrupt perjury by taking false, oaths as to
their places of residence, to obtain mbrriage
licences, in order to deter persons from being
guilty of this crime in future.--(Bioningham
Chronicle.)
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.----AbOUI noon , onWed-
nesday last, two young lads, named Wm,: Brock-
well, son of Mr. Brock well, carpenter, and Ste-
phen Elvey, pupil of Mr. Skeates, organist, both
of Canterbury, were amusing themselves by shoot-
ing small birds in a field, at the back of the Mi-
litary Hospital, when Elvey being in front,
Brockwell attempted to put his fowling-piece on
the half-cock, but it slipped from his thumb, and
the piece discharged the whole of its contents in
the calf of the right leg of Elvey, lacerating it lit
a dreadful manner. The lad was taken to the
Kent and Canterbury Hospital, where every pos-
sible attention was paid him, but his leg is so
much injured) that amputation is deemed Be.
cessary.

from this quarter will probably be important.--
A few days before the sailing of the American
vessel which conveyed the intelligence we now
communicate, the whole guard, which was en-
trusted with the defence of an important fort at
Enico Pontas, marched olf to a man, officers and
all, with their baggage, and went over to the
enemy.

LBRITISII PRESS.]
It is"some satisfaction to find that the last ar-
rivals from Ireland are not stained with the ac-
counts of any further outrages. It is intimated
in a Dublin Paper that the monsters who mur-
dered Shea and his family, have been discovered
we may hope, therefore, that the exaMple of
their punishment will deter others from pursuing
a similar course of guilt. ShoUld the ruffians be
actually discovered, it would, we think, be wise
in the Government to cause their trial to be
heard as soon as possible, even though a Special
Comrnission should be necessary. To render the
process of the law effectual, by impressing into
the minds of the ill-disposed a salutary terror,
trial ought to follow accusation, and punishment
conviction, as quick as possible. The chain of
legal procedure froin crime to punishment ought
never to be unnecessarily or tediously interrupt-
ed, but should appear in the public eye with all
the continuity of a dramatic action. Nothing
can be more reprehensible than the manner in
which the determination of the Crown in -the
cases of persons capitally convicted at the Old
Bailey Sessions is commonly delayed. So' great
a length of time elapses between the conviction
and the execution, that the circumstances of the
crimes committed must in most instances have
escaped from the public mind, and the execution,
dissevered from the knowledge of the sufferer's
guilt, necessarily excites no other feeling than
one of -pity. The punishment thus fails in
the accomplishment of its social object, of de-
terring the spectators from the perpetration of
similar offences. An evil of the same character,
and of equal magnitude, results from a delay in
the prosecution of guilt : and if ever there were
an event that called loudly for the quickest in-
terposition of the law, for the purpose not merely
of vindicating its own insulted majesty, but of
protecting society, it could not have exceeded in
its magnitude and its atrocity the horrible trans-
action of burning Shea and his family. The most
obvious means to which tire Irish Government
can resort of checking the moral contagion
that now rages in the county of Limerick, are
the increasing of the disposable military force.
For this purpose, a notice has been issued from
Dublin Castle, requiring the out-pensioners be-
longing to Chelsea, Kilmainham, and the royal
artillery, residing in the disturbed districts, to
report themselves personally to the nearest mili-
tary station on the 3d December, and to conform
strictly to such instructions as may be conveyed
to them by the General Officer commanding
the district in which they reside. An apprehen-
sion prevails that a conspiracy exists in Ireland,
embracing not only the southern counties, but
extending itself to Dublin and to the north of
the kingdom. The appeal made some days since
by the Magistrates of Dublin to the licensed vic-
tuallers of that city, desiring their loyal and ac-
tive concurrence in preserving the country from
the effects of treasonable conspiracies, manifestly
implied such a fear, and we now are told that, as
a measure of precaution, the yeomanry corps in
some parts of the north of.lreland are ordered to-
be placed upon permanent duty. The yeomanry
corps of Ireland are a very loyal and efficient
body of men ; the cavalry, we are assured, with
very few exceptions, consist exclusively of gen-
tlemen of independent fortunes.

[THE TIMES.]
It must be considered at present, we believe,
as rather gratifying that we are able to add no
new facts of importance as illustrative of the state
of Ireland ; for, the measures organizing for the
suppression of the- disturbances not yet being in
a state sufficiently advanced to be brought into
general operation, any fresh action that had
taken place must have been performed by the
disaffected multitude, and must therefore of
course have been of a reprehensible character.
The guilty appear to retain their position with-
out receding or shewing any symptom of a volun-
tary change of conduct; their instructors, in a
better system of morals than that of murder and
robbery, are preparing for them. The remarks
in the Dublin Evening Post conclude with the
statement of a very singular, and, with respect to
the people spoken of, not a very creditable fact.
It says—" It will, no doubt, strike the English
reader with astonishment, after he has gotten
over the horror and disgust with which the re-
cital of those scenes must inspire him, that he
does not read the names of any of the nobility,
and very few of the richer order of gentry,
among the active subjects of the king on this
occasion."
•It is already known that the surrender of East
Florida to the Americans has been attended
with similar circumstances to those which took
place at Pensacola, in West Florida—we mean
the detention of certain papers by the Spaniards,
and their forcible seizure by the Americans. We
now find in one of the United States Journals a
protest on the part of Colonel Coppinger, Go-
vernor of the Eastern Province, Which is too
long for insertion, against the proceedings of the
American agents. If his statement, which is ve-
rified before a notary public at St. Augustine's,
is to be relied on, he makes out a much stronger
case than that of Colonel Callava, since he de-
clares that " the archives remaining in his charge
'were those containing the correspondence with
his Government, which had been carried on by
himself and the preceding governors, relative to
the employs filled by the respective functionaries
and persons ; that he had no documents which
had any relation, directly or indirectly, with the
property and sovereignty of the nation ; and, in
Qne word, that the said archives were "a particu-
lar property, which he was bound to deliver to
his Captain General, and positively excluded by
the treaty." Colonel' Coppinger has proceeded
to Washington to complain of the outrage, and
to support his allegations. 'The occupation of
the Floridas, and the conduct of General Jack-
son, are expected to give rise to lively discussions
n the approaching Session of Congress.—(lbid.)

`MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We are given to understand that the Minis-
terial arrangements which have been some time
in agitation, are for the present suspended, the
difficulty of harmonizing conflicting interests and
feelings having been found insurmountable. The
projected introduction of Mr. Canning has been
found so unpalateable in a certain high quarter,
that all the urgent representations of old friends,
strengthened by the absolute necessity for the
aid of his talents, have been made without effect.
But even if this difficulty could be got over,
another, we are informed, still remains. The
friends of Lords Sidmouth and Melville strenu-
ously oppose the proposed arrangements, while
a third party, headed by Lord Londonderry and
the Duke of Wellington, preserve a sort of armed
neutrality, being willing to compromise matters
for the appointment of Mr. Canning to the Go-
vernor Generalship of India.

[M9RNING POST.]
The American Papers, received yesterday, are
silent with respect to the late events in Peru.
On other points, however, they contain intelli-
gence of some interest ; they take up the hiStory

at a period of which no details had reached us,
although we had become acquainted with some
of their ulterior results. The chasm thus filled
