LETTER FROM THIII GOV ERNOR,OF. .monk, VIDEO

TO ADMIRAL DE COURCY.

11 Most Excellent Seignor,—After felicitating
your Excellency upon your arrival'' on these costs,
I-am anxious to do myself the honour of sending
to. your Excellency herewith, copies of the two
official litters which '1 had prefiously addressed to
you.
Tbat of the earliest date ?vas inte #ed, by a
simple and ingenuous s.taternept,-spcli as belongs to
a soldier who knows neither d\cguise nor pasio4t.o
apprise your Excellency, at the inoment of :-)or
iu these countries, of the lamentable situ,ition
of affairs at Buenos Ayres, in conseouence of the
absurd project` of a 6mall number of crimirmls, uti.o
here seized, the reins' 01 governmen,, µ ibis. the in.
tenni:m.o( making themselves ,indeoentlent of 4114
mother country. . From the staid letter your Eicef-
Jency will perceive, not only Omit Monte Video,,k
Which acknowledges the . gOVe•nalelq.
should separate itself from a party, who, under the
sacred, name of their Sovereign, compire ktaln' st
the ends of that union which both your Elation' int*
mine have proposed to them-wives but you wtiik,
also perceive- the determination wit:, Which I ant
come, as the provisional chief in this Louniry, 'IO
di.charge all the just duties for which I ant respon.,,
Bible, ;Ind which my pattrioiisio iequire,kot me, .
imposing all the restrictions wnicii qty situation al.,
lows rue to exercise upon the rebel flag, and also
by applying. to your Excellency t:i co.operate witty
influence in sustaining my determination, hy:
compelling the English merchant vessels el ntely to
withdraw from .the harbour of Ettienbs Ayres, to
prevent that encouragement and those eXecSSA
hich would render. my measures illusory.
"The letter of the latest day, is the answer to that
which your Excellency was ple.ised to direct to rn.l
from Maldonado*, andrentettain no doubt that t'iie
plain reasons by which have pointed out to your
Excellency, that the differences between the. two
governments are not differences. between Spaniard
and Spaniard, but originate in that just indignation
with which .a man oC honotir shoUld rd delinz
quents, will induce you' to protettd the cause whicit
I defend; is being the, cause of my coontry—,..ibitt
unfortunate country which genereus England is,a;
this moment proteating at the ' expence.
blood.

"In both official litters, the grounds on which
I feel myself authorised to claim the your justice are sufficiently stated. Being flirt-
mately persuaded that persons of yoal• Etcellency's
rank, from their sense of the principles of etimtl%-
cannot decide in favour of any other cause than th,az
which I support, I deem it improper to trouble pif
attention. with additional proofs, which are as nit.
mesons as the heinous offences of Buenos Avres:
" 1 have only time. to inform 'your
that I am fold there has been admitted on board the
snglisb schOotter f a member of theseditious'
Rota of-Buenos Ayres, cornmEssioned by them to
prejudice the miod of your Ex= ellencjt. Shota
this be itue, I have nothing to tear from his repreii
sentation ; but I have to complain that on board
the said vessel an ad 'of hostility. has becat,„.tgived
upon against,thii place and governtuent Ito*,
body can be ignorant that its contfutt has-cofre.
sponded More than that of Buenos Ayres with the
sentiments of the nation.

" Upon this ground I should be authorised to
demand of your Excellency to deliver up to me
sdid Member of the Junta as a criminal and ~'attar
but I shall be satisfied with your Exceliency':;
him a-hearing; in order that, weighmg itt :••14

This afternoon the Speech, der:ldling certain far-
ther causes for holding the Parliament, was deliver-
ed by the Couttnissionerg appointed by his Royal
Highness the PRENCR Utoonwr.—The following, we
believe, will be Could to be a corred account of the
Substance of it t.— ,
It begins with stating, that " in execution of the
Conimission which had been just read, the Commis-
sioners were commanded by his Royal /Ugliness to
say, that his /loyal Highnesi laments, nut only in
common with all his Majesty's subjects, but in a
more kvculiar degree on his own account, the great
national calamity which has imposed the duly upon
his Royal Highness.
" His /loyal Highness is aware of difficulties
attendant upon lino important trust reposed in biro
but-he looks with coi,fidence to the wisdom and zeal
of Parliament, and to the attachment of his Majes-

ifs faithful people.
His Royal Highness will use his best efforts to
'dire& the powers invtstal in him towards becuring
the prosperity and wcitate Of the cOuntry.

" His Royal Hiss informs them with great
satisfactiou; that tlesh oppOrtunities have been af-
forded (44in:iota% the valour and skill of his Ma-
jesty's /toms. Fite captures of Bourbon and JaVa
have still further. les,ened the enemy's colonies.
" The chief objcii of the efforts of this Country,
during the last year, has been Portugal awl Cadiz;
and the objects of the enemy, on those points, have
been hitherto defeated. The military merit of Lord
WiLottsoTota, and the discipline and courage, of his
Army, have been very etnittent, and have produced
the best etietts upon 'he consdad of our Allies.
c, His Royal Highness hopes that lie shall Jae
enabled to afford to Stain and Portugal a continu-
VICO .of that support which their energy appear to
deserve, and upon which so tnucht of their ultimate
success must depettd.
€1 Wilt regard to. America, the Speech states,
that hit Ilny4 flightless will be very happy if he
shall be able to bring the Nlociation to a favour-
able conclusion. always regarding what is due to the
rights .aud interests of his Majesty and his doini.
Woos.

0‘ The invasion of Sicily, so presumptuously pro.
raised, has been defeated by the perseverance and
bravery of his Majesty's Cotten, assisted by the troops
and subjeCts of his Sicilian IVlAjvsty.
" He acquaint% the House of COMMOTIS, that the
Estimates wal be laid before them : and though in
Ireland, and lotion,* slight degree its this country,
the revenue appears to feel some of the obstacles
thrown la the way of our commerce, yet, upon the
!bete, ti* revenue of this country. has been more
proda9ive than ever was before known, and this
increase has taken place without any additional taX.

" Hi,t Royal Highness expresses his confidence
that the usual supplies will be granted to him fur
the necessary support of the war in which we are
engaged, and of the different branches of the public
service.

His Royal Highnesi concludes with expressing
in the strongest manner his anxiety for his Ma_

„
jesty's recovery ccom all inoisposition aftlitting to
all his subj#4.3s, but in a nearer arid ilzuru peculiar
degree to his itoyal. Trighness himself.”

As we predicted, our naval superiority in the In-
&at' Seas was immediately re-established, after the
capture or the Venue, by Commodore Rowt.nY, and
the recapture of the 4fricaime &lid Ceylon frigates by
that gallant oflicor, who has so eminently distil):
guished himself in that quarter.
The over sloop is arrived from the Isle of Bow.
bon, w:tich place site, 'at on the 4th Ocloher, and
t;,e Cope on the 24th November. The Nisus, with
Admiral BKATIE'S flag, was at St. Paul's waiting
the aarri`•al of the Efxpedition front India, and the

det4chment front the Clip., the whole of which

it was expected, would be assetnbled at the"
tixed rendovous about the middle of November
'when au itutwdiatc attack was to be made, on the

Isle of France, the result of which we may expe&
to bear in the course of three week s or a month a

farthest.

The Motidaus and rha;le would proceed with a
dethchnvnt of troops; the artillery and ordnance
stores from the Cape, and it wait supposed that a
very large naval force would convoy ike armament
trout Ii dia.

Tile interesting proceedings of the Isle of France
will be in the Gazette nf this evening.

Ititelligeticeliss &Celt bt-o.ight by Ow Oiler, that
the Faidie country ship, trout Madras, commanded
by Captain DESTEIt Rs, late of the United Kingdom,
was left at St. Helena.

ri appears that pv;vate accounts had been received
at the Cape, stating, that the Astal and Uzißiam
Pitt arrived at Madras the 3d and sth August, and
that the Earl Camden had unfortunately been burnt
in Bombay harbour.

The PRINCE REGENT had another Court yester.
day at Carlton House, when the Speech with which
the business of Parliament is thif day to be opened
was laid before him, and received his most gracious
and entire approbation. His Royal Highness left
town tins morning for Windsor, for the purpose of
having an interview with his MAJESTY.

A report was yesterday very industriously and very
confidently circulated, that accounts of a very alarm-
ing nature had been received from Ireland. It is
not difficult to guess the motives of those who in-
rent such reports, but we are happy to assure oar
readers that it is wholly Unfounded.

An ilnholt Alaii arrived this day. The contents

are of little importance. • The Grand. V.zier, it is
stated, in ap article dated Semlin, Jan. 12, was en-
deavouring to renew.; negociations with Russia, but
was in the mean time strengthening his army with
the addition of 50,000 men, It is also said that
Turkey means to solicit the mediation of France.
The Captain Pacha, according to an article dated
Vienna, Jan. 12, pa*ses the winter, with his fleet,
at Constantinoplee, and the Grand Vizier leaves part
of his army in the iii reached camp at Sebumla.
By an at ticledated Stralsund, Jan. 10, it appears,
that in consequence of Sweden having declared war
with England, BuokAPARTII permits the importa-
tion of grain from Pomerania into that country, and
Swedish produce into France. The French Vice
Con6ll had besides communicated sentiments of
friendship and benevolence from the French Ruler
to Sweden.-

Hostilities had recommenced between Turkey
and Russia, but not aaively. The Reis Ez INDS
had not, as reported, arrived at the adigian head•
(palters. The Russian General had proposed the
town of Bucharest to carry on negociation4, and the
Russian Ministers had arrived there for that purpose,
expeaing an answer from the Divan. The Danioh
Government had ordered the issue of a new paper
money of the value of 24 shillings, upon the ex.
tivaion of bills of the value of 12 and 28.

The Morning enronicle has this morning adverted
to our observations upon the article in that Paper
reseeding the state of Ireland, but it has cautiously
*voided giving us a direr answer. An Saturday
the lgerning Chronicle stated, that the cause of the
disturbances in Ireland was the relusaf to comply
with. the claims of the, Roman Catholics, ',thereby in
sinnating that they were the authors of all. those
outages. Does the Morning Chronicle Mesa to
persist in that assertion ? If it be true, the conduct
of the Irish Catholics cannot be defended : if it lie
false, the whole argument of the Morning Chronicle
falls to the ground. It is contended heat it is fair
to state the errors of Ministers, and to recapitulate
the grievances of Ireland.' So it is; but then, on.
the other band, those errors ought to be stated cor-
rectly and the 'erievances ought not to be exag-
gerated. We maintain, that the Mor4ing Chronicle
did gtve4 most unfair and unfounded statement re,.
specting the situation of the Irish Catholics, and
that its language was calculated to produce the very
.evils which. it affected to dePlore, and to inflame
the passions of those whoni it represented to be
practising outrage and meditating rebellion.. We
adverted, on Saturday and 'yesterday to the modifica-
tion of the Arms Act, and the repeal of the Insur-
rection Act, in order to show that Government were
anxious to conciliate Ireland, and to extend to the
People of that Couetry, the benefits of the Cututi-
tution. The Aber:iv Chronicle altogether over-
'looks the Arms Act, though several of its most
severe clauses were repealed and it adds, that the
Insurreaion Aa was brought in by the present Mi-
nisters when' they came into office. We admit that ,
it was, and we coutend that Mite readineis of the
Irish Goverumen: !o repeal onel.oi their own Acts of
Parliarnee.t, when they found it was unnecessary, Is
a stronger 'proof of their desire to conciliate, th im
if it hid been an aa elf their predecessors. In point

of fact, though Sir ARTEFUR WELLR'LRY did when
he came into office propose the Ineurrection Act,
we are not very much mistaken, if the draft of the
Bill had not been prepared by the nuke-of BED-
roan's Goveinment; and left by them when they
went out of cake. We have not room at present to
pursue thig subject farther, but we (oust enter our
pruteit against a prtctice which th• Chronide has
-adopted, of describing the Irish Roman Catholics as
constituting Ireland, and excluding the whole Pro-
testant populati,iu from all consideration.

The following observations, which are eitreeted
from the Dublin Nee shaper, The Pebiot, are so
perfea.y in unison with our own, that we are anxi-
ous to lay them before our Readert., 7he Pabiot,
in commetiong upon an article in an English Paper,
which insinuated :hat if the claims of the Trial Ca-
tholics were not granted, they would endeaVour to
obtain them by force, says, 14 The English Editor
has not hesitated to lib, l the whole bady itf Ro-
man. Catholics, in order to intimidate the Govern-
ment, by insinuating, that if the Petition of the
Catholic Gentry for a full participation of the poli-
tical powers of the State, be not instantly 'complied
with, the Catholics will not be restrained from a
combined and offensive 'expression of their sen-
timents,' in plain Euelish, from Rebellion. if
the writer for the English Paper be, like too
many of his fellow-joernalists in England; total-
ly ignorant of the state of this country, and lets
forthed this opinion, which he has. had the hirdi-'
hood 10 Utter, from a perusal of the violent de-
bales in the Catholic 'Committee, we will then
inform him, that the most respectable part of the
Catholic 'body, and all the Country Gentlemen of
any rank or fortune, of their persuasion; disapprove
of and candyina the intetrverance and folly'of the
Dubin) Junta, styling kelt the Committee of the
Catholics of beland. The Catholic Gentry of
Ireland, and. the Alerchants, with perhaps a few
exceptions, have too much loyalty, too much uro-
perty to lose, and too much attachment to the Sate
and the constitution, under which they enjoy so
many blessings and advantages, to hazard their loss
by any vision.iry prospeas of political distinaions:
weieh, if even opened to them, they might never be
able to attain. This description'of -Roman Club°.
lies deprecate Rebellion as much as the Protestants
or Presbyterians of Ireland, as they have as flinch
to lose, namely, their all ; and as to 'the lower or-
ders of the Catholics, some of them may be goaded
by their wicked and unprincipled exciters, if they
be not checked in time, into further axis of outrage,
and possibly into partial insnrreaion-e-the conse-
queece of which will be, that they will lose their
lives in the field or on the gallows, and their leaders
will again, as in i 798, to We theirs, betray them ;
and although any movement in Ireland which they
might excite, would for a short time distract the
attention of England, injure the trade of Ireland, and
promote the designs of the most detestable Tyrant
that ever scourged the hemen race, yet the wicked
attempt would prove utterly abortive, and would
finally bring down destru6tion upon all those involv-
ed in it—for it should never be-forgotten that all
the former rebellions have ended in the ruin of the
country, and in the discnmfiture and .disgrace of
those who were implicated in them, and as they
have always been put down by the Loyalists, aided
by the whole power of. England, who has always
been ready to spend, for the preservation of Ireland,
her last guinea and her last man ; and, as Sir
WILLIAM Parry has observed; " theraenyate,
exploitan d
ever will be, in England, men ready for
and change, either by being discontented with their
present condition, or otherwise well inclined to the
service, more than sufficient to quell any insurrec-
tion which the Irish who may rebel Can make and
abide by."

Yesterday, at one O'clock, a Privy C, uncil was
held at Carleton HoOtte, when all the Cabinet hii-
nitters attended, and at which the PRINCE 4ttoarrr
presided. The Speech fur opening Parliament by
Commission, was taken into consideration ; and,
from the great length of time that the Council sat,
it was imagined that some pans of ;t must have
undergone considerable discussion. At the close of
the Council, the LOil CHANCELLOR received the
PRINCE REGENT'S cot,ds to affix the Great Seal
to the Commission (or opening he
