bEATII OF TUE COUNTESS TALBOT.

With feelings of the deepest sorrow we have to
knnounce the death of her Excellency the Coun-

Personage was in the beginning of the week at-
larked with an idlimt»ettion of the bowels, which

MR. EDlTOR—Extended as the discussion of
this question has become, I shall not scruple its
continuance. Neither shall I fear the exhaustion
of the Reader's patience, upon a subject so vitally
important in principles and in consequences.
am ghad that one antagonist has released me by
his silence, and another by his abated tone, from
the prolongation of those personalties, which 1
am almost as unready to retort as to commence;
but which owe their forbearance to my mode-
ra'ion rather than to my weakness.
I could have smiled at the triumphant manner
of PEMBERTON itt urging my acquiescence with
his censure of Bribery. Did not I accuse it as
crime of the heaviest visitation, before 1 had
been honoured wi,h his strictures ? Did not 1
denounce the offence, and advise its punishment ;
a little more constitutionally perhaps, than by
enlarging it into " High Treason ;" and a little
more legally, than by 'the inferences of a con-
structive crime, and the penalties of an ex-post
facto Law ?

The rapidity of the progress of this dreadful
"isit ation, left scarcely a pause bet ween alarm
80(1 despair. On Tuesday her complaint assumed
k character of danger, and on Wednesday her Ex-
tellency's state was such as to preclude all hope
uf recovery. The first intimation which the
Public received of her danver, was from the Bul-
letins published on that day ; these were of a
Ntare to excite the most lively apprehensions.
Ott the next morning, when all were eager to
relieve their painful anxiety, the necessity of in-
/airy was removed, by the awful announcement
vihicli we have now published.
Deeply indeed was it felt. The loss of a per-
sonage elevated in rank, adorning that elevation
ey the most unassuming suavity of manners,- gen-
tleness of disposition, and goodness of heart, a
Aersonage, to whom every native of Ireland was
doubly attached by that tie, so sacred, so dear
to them, the fellowship of the country ; tfte wife
g3f a Viceroy front whom that country has enjoyed
to much, and justly anticipates so much more,
whose Administration has called fortit every emo-
tion of public confidence, love, and hope—the
loss of such a personage has struck a damp into
every heart, strikingly manifested in the noiver.

According with Petosti VTON in the quality of
this baser suffrage, I shall gianly contend under
the same b.,nner, in rguing that it ought not to
be increased by the extenioo of the Electoral
Right to the " temp-iary Tax-payers" of LEEDS
or any other tnanutactur►ng town. Upon his
rigorous application of the Treason Law, and
its terrible consequences at " Attainder," 1 am
not quite such an " High Tory" as to agree. I
have not lived long enough with " prerogative'

of feeling for the rights and liberties of 11,e peo-
ple," as to relisn constructive treasons, GI ex-post-

enacted by the umnipotenice of Patliament, would
become constitutional—" but nut tilt then."

The Conway, Cl in BARNARD, which arrived
tact week from the East !tidies, sailed for Ports-
'Mouth, on Wednesday, to be paid off. She left
Irincomatee on the 17th of July last ; the Isle of
Prance on the 25th of September ; the Cape of
tlood Hope on the 23d of October ; and St. He-
lena on the Bthot November. The Slave Trade
between Madagascar and the Isle of France was so
active, that the continual presence of a British
!hip of war was necessary, at that island, to check
; and the Liverpool, Captain COLLIER, having
been ordered thence on a cruize against the pirates
in the Persian Gulpb, the Conway was detained
at Port Louis for some weeks, until the arrival
the Carron. The Liverpool has captured
several slave ships. The incursions of the
C4l:fres on our settlement at the Cape had
tkased, and it was hoped that the measures

Itoce. BONAPARTE continued at St. Helena his
habits of seclusion; but he had apparently been

Court-Martial was held there on Captain

THE MARKILTS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 3.

Our Market continues abundantly supplied with'
all Grain, having a very large quantity left over
from the immense arrivals of last week, which,
owing to the stoppage-in the navigation, could
►tot be disposed of ; and as the same obstruction
to working still continues, very few sales were
made this morning ; yet the prices of Wheat may
be considered the same as on this day week. But
Barley, Beans, and Peas are full 2s. per quarter
cheaper, and scarcely a sale could be matte of
either at that reduction.—Oats are also dull sale,
and Is. lower.
