ton, of IliThaven.
The prisoner, m her defence, said, in a vet" lov.P
tone—l never took the child from her.
The Jury, within five minutes after summing tyr,
found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended Ilcr to
mercy.
Mr. ESTGOURT, in passing sentence, - said it was
the first time he ever knew an offence of the End
brought before a Court of Quarter Sessions, or in.
deed any other Court. He then sentenced her to
seven years' transportation.
[The motive which induced this young woman to
steal the child, was as extraordinary and singular as
the theft itself. She was very desirous of being
united to a young man, with whom she had kept
company for some time; and in order to prevail upon
him to marry her, she bore the appearance, for a re-
gular period, of 1:1 woman enceinte ; and attempted
to affiliate on' him the embryo offspring. On the
30th of October, :;!re went to Uphaven fair, stole
the infant in the manner dese.ribed, returned home
quite slim, and imposed npod the nurse and the
neighbourhood the belief that she had bet!) delivered
'on the road, producing an infant five months old, es
a living proof.]

FOURTEEN DAYS' MEETING in DUBLIN

THIRD DAY.

Mtch.ALL DiLLos BELLEW, Esq., in the chair.
The SECRETARY deplored the appointment of the
Duke of Wellington to preside at the helm of the
state, declaring his opinion of his Grace's intt&ienty
to sustain the offiee, and alluded to the victory of
Waterloo as one gained by treason and treachery,
and the result of which was prejudicial to the iibere
ties of loreiclitonicd:Ent.dLtshal
dee,mtphiaret.he did not agree with
Mr. Coppirsger, in a good , deal ,of what had been
said by him, either with; respect to the victory of
Waterloo, ur its resnlts. That victory, he conceived,
had been achieved solely by the intense valour of the
British :colliery. With respect, however, to Napo..
leon, he was quite ready to du justice to his valour
and abilities, but he used the sword, and. trampled
on freedom and civil liberty. He coneidered the
victory
.at Waterloo gave to humanity the. chance of
once more .raising its head. The speaker then ad-
..verre4_ ,to tl4§ Duke of Wtllington
in the louse. of Lords Wts.copia4n; tit the lefore
maiiuts shintld be introduced into Ireland, and there
maintained. kay the sword. Such a. declaration as
this was frightful, falling almost from. any indi
but coming from the leading man in the state, it
was awfully dreadful indeed. He remarked in terms
of ridicule on the appointment of Mr. Goulburn to be
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It reminded him of
the official appointments of the Governmeut of the
kingdom of Dalkey, where they made an Attorney-.
• General because he stuttered; a Chancellor because
he was deaf; and a Commander of the Forced, for
having lost both his legs.—( Laughter.) But the
Ministerial bubble would soon burst.
Mr. LAWLESS rose and said, that he would not.
say any thing harsh of the late Administration, but
it certainly struck him, that it had sot taken that un-
bending, decided, uncompromising course which
done would have rendered it at once respected by
both King and
peoples He congratulated the As.

move for the adoption of a petition for the repeal of
the law which imposes on Members of Parliament,
and other Protestants going into office, to swear
that the religion professed by the Roman Catholics
is superstitious and idolatrous.
Mr. LAWLESS then read the petition alluded te,
which was adopted for the consideration of the com-
mittee.

Mr. O'CoNNu.t, read a letter from a g-entlenran
who had presided at a simultaneous meeting at Tul=
low, in the county of Carlow. The letter contained
copies of niuc speechez delivered OA that occasion
by children, pupils at the Monit:,B school in that
town. lie expressed his admiration and astonish.,
went not only at the elegance of the style and .can-
ner in which they were couched, but that they
should embrace such clear, sound, and distinct views
of the future prospects of this country.
A letter containing .50/.-10/. for the Fey. Mr;
Maguire, and 101. rent—was then handed in from
i
the Earl of Shrewsbury, Wexford and NVaterf°rd.

effect--that they w ,(4

which was the poke of Wellington, as an ene•ny to

Mr. BRETT bore testimony to the

simultaneous meetings in that county.
Mr. O'CoNNELL read the draught of an address
which he had prepared to the Dissenters of Eng-
land. The document extended to considerable
length, and the reading, of it was received with great

Mr. ENEAS M'DONNEL considered that the adopt-

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de Prance of Jan. 24.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dtc. 31.—Accounts have been
eeceived*lrem Smyrna, which state that the French
and English Ambassadors intended to wait at
• • Vourla till they receivistseWS- of -the departure of M.
,• de Ribeaupierre, before they set out. for Corfu.—•
they have sent io the Consuls of the two nations
in the East, with the exception of the agents in
'Egypt and the Principalities, the order to consider
their consular functions - as terminated, dating from
the /sth of January, by which they must bare
taken down from 'their residences the arms and the
coleurS of their Sovereigns. They are at liberty to
continue to reside in the sante places, but only as
private individuals. M. de-Rignyia said to have
made arrangements for the removal of the Consular
agents. - The other Franks of the two nations have
. been warned by a circular of the two Ambassadors
- to remain tranquil, and not to give any offence by
precipitate conduct. They were at the same time
desired to apply to the Dutch Minister at Constan-
• &topic as their present protector.
News had been received from Scio that Fabvier
pressed the fort very closely, and that he had offered
to the Governor an honourable capitulation, which
the latter had refused. It was thought at Smyrna
that Fabvier would make an attempt to carry the
fort by storm. Within these few days the over
great zeal of the CapitataPacha has given rise to nu-
merous proscriptions, and the most considerable fa-
milies have been tailed from that capital.
The new coin, which will be depreciated 25 pet
cent., will be. put in circulation next week.
It is said that all the engagements contrs:Sisted by
the Government will be paid in thi.s coin, which
greatly alarms the merchants. Vii. de Ribeaupierre,
who departed on the IC'th, has passed the Darda-
nelles without obstadt.--flugsburgli Gazette.
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
The Porte has received news from Smyrna, dated
the 24th, which must have increased its apprehen-
sions, and dispelled the illusions of the members of
the Divan, who had flattered themselves that the
Ambassadors had exceeded their powers. Messrs.
Guilleminot and Stratford Canning, t fter their arri-
vai at Vourla, sent for the merehan is of Smyrna,
and declared to then), as there was reason to fear
that hostilities would soon commence, they were to
take eneir measures accordingly.
This declaration threw them into consternation,
especially as the proposals made in concert with the!
Piaeha of Smyrna, and the object of which was to
'have this city considered as neutral, which had been
taken into consideration by the three Ambassadors,
'before the rejection of the convention of the 6th of
haVing been also rejected, there is every reason
for the Porte to fear an attack from the Allies. Mrs
Stratford Canning - left Youths on the 2.3 d. Since
the arrival of this news, it is observed that the mess-
inga of the Divan are much more frequent, and the
military armaments more active. The Avails have
entered upon their functions in Me quarters of the city.
PART-5, JAN. 23.5-111 reflecting on the commission
svhich has been instituted to examine the measures
relative to the sescondary ecclesiastical schools, we
have been strweit by the following considerations:—
It is Permitted to believe that a commission, some
of the snembers of which are prelates., can propose to
strireahe episcopacy of itsrights with respect to the
erstlesiastical schools, and to place all the little se-
vainaries in the kingdom in a state of dependence on
a lay Administration, because six or seven of these
establishments are suspected of being directed by
_Jesuits, subject to the jurisdiction of the ordinary
Such a measure would not only be contrary to the
acknowledged right • of the'• episcopacy-, it would
offend the ideas-,of -general -equity; for,

will b. in the condition of:all-the other little send-

Had we not g'..ood reason toy say- this great
affair of Jesuitism was, tt,-Chimera invented by the
1-evolutiotgists to give a false alarm to public opi-
nion ? All the fears"°:with which they -bad filled
France and -Europe=all those petitions which had
moved the tribunals and the Chambersall the dis-
orders, iu short, which excited consternation in
people's minds—are reduced to this irregularity,
that 'there are in some little seminaries pupils who
do not wear the frock.

Consequently, all the greut measures called for by
iberalisni will, at the most, extend to making the
cholars at St. Acheul wear black robes ! !
Whatever idea may be entertained of the import-
ance of this result, we do not hesitate to predict that
more serious results will proceed from the commis.
sion Just appointed.

(From the Journal des .Debals.)
t RAREST, JAN. I.—There has been lately a
Numerous meeting of the chief men of Constanti-
nople, at the Mufti's. The- Reis Effendi made a
7engthened report of the atual relations of the
Porte with the Three Powers, and the Insurgents,
uid gave his opinion as to the means which remained
with the Porte to resist the evils which threatened
it. He concluded his discourse by a call upon those
present freely to give their opinion, and afterwards
to vote according to their conscience. It appears
that the situation of the Ottoman Porte was not
-painted ill very brilliant colours, since it is.said that
the majority coincided with the Reis Effendi, and
consented to the different means of conciliation he
proposed. It is, however, said, that the Mufti,
whose influence in all State affairs is known, caused
the resolutions of the assembly to be modified, so
that the Porte must proceed with the greatest cir-
cumspection in every thing that relates to the
Greek question, but that it is not to carry its con-
descension beyond the limits of honour, and that for
the present it must confine itself to the propositions
laSt made by M. de Ribeaupierre, and which the -
latter had rejected, under the pretence that he could
no longer receive an OffiCial cominunication from the
Porte after the departure of his English and French
-,olleagues. It was proposed and resolved, to com-
municate these propositions direct to the three Me-
ditating Powers, and. to wait their answer before
malting '
any change in them, or having recourse to the
laet extremities-.

It 13 said that the Porte addressed a note to 11. de
Ti,ibeaupierre, on the lath of December, in which
it e;presses its desire to smooth ail difficulties, and
proposer, the following modifications of the views
Dii,the Mediating Powers :-1. The Forte will.
grant the Greeks the right of governing tht;mselves,
by Rajahs chosen by themselves, in the llorca and
the Islands. c.!.. It will change the Capitation Tax,
iiitt]rto paid, into art impost proportionate to the
-reventicY. 3. It will not place Ottoman troops iti
the said provinces with the exception of sonic for-
..rer„sel. M. de Ri
beaupierre did not think it neces-
sary to pay any attention to this note, which ap-
pears natural enough.
After the'rneeting of which we have just spoken,
the Grand Vizier went to the Sultan, and laid before
him
.the conclusions come to. The Porte looks
upon the present moment as so important, that it
wishes the whole nation to participate in its delibe-
: a hatti-scheritf orders the convocation of a
sort of National Assembly, and the choosing of the
Representatives is already begun.

An attention to neatness of dress and personal
cleanliness seldom fails to influence the moral conduct of
individuals ; and it has, in proof of this, been observed,
that those who delight in a good exterior are seldom either
sottish or depraved.
