DUTCH PAPERS.

TIFLIS, FEB. 26.—Tranquillity continues to pre-
vail in the Pachalics of Asiatic Turkey, recently
conquered. The winter has been very severe, and
all the high grounds are covered with deep snow.
With the mountaineers of the line of Caucasus we
are on the most friendly terms. Very lately the in-
habitants or two considerable villages situated at a
pretty great distance from the port of Groznaiakre-
post, have imitated the example of their country.
men, and voluntarily mat:;' their submission.
ST. PETERSBURG/I, MARCI 29.—The Gazette
announces that the third series of rite Russian Loan
in Holland was opened on the 'Chang,' at Amster-
dam, on the 13th March, and was filled in the same
day, on the same terms as the preceding.
The same Journal publishes a statement of the
commerce of the Black Sea and of the Sea of Azoff,
in the year 1828. It was not so considerable as in
the preceding, on account of the war.

Ships arrived. Sailed.

BATAvts, DEC. 11.—Our Journals contain the
particulars of the capture of the famous High
Priest, Kiay Modjo, with five hundred of his fol-
lowers. It seems that Lieutenant Colonel Le Bron
de Vexela and Lieutenant Rolps particularly dis-
tinguished tht7nseives on this occa-ion ; and that
Mr. Nahuys, the Resident, also rendered important
services in disarming ::.nd so ling away the prison-
ers. Kiay Modjo, with his chid adherents, ar-
rived at Batavia the 28th Nov. 00 board the Mer-
cury merchantman, under the convoy of hia Ma-
jesty's frigate the Bellona, and he will remain on
board till a suitable residence is got ready for him.
These papers contain also the important news, that
the equally notorious Maas Locrah, with two of his
tons and about 140 men, had submitted to the Go.
vernment; also the Pangerang Admo Modjo and
the Tommongong Mohamed Kistoebol, both per-
sons of consequence, who have frequently distin.
cruished themselves in the war.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1829.

An interesting Meeting was held on Tuesday
last at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, on the sub-
ject of a public illumination to commemorate
the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill, at which
Mr. SHELL, in the course of a speech, marked
by spirit, eloquence, and moderation, strongly
protested against any public exhibition of triumph,
on the plea that it would injure the Catholics with
the more rational part of the community, and give
their joy too much the aspect of an indecent exul-
tation. We cannot too highly applaud the mag-
nanimous spirit that has induced the long suffering
Papists to come to this resolution ; their victory
is not a victory to be commemorated with
lamps, candles, and tar-barrels ; it can derive
no new splendour, though all the hills in Ire-
land were to be lighted up by one simultaneous
movement—it is the victory of intellect—of jus-
tice—of common sense—over prejudice, bigotry,
and dotage, and should be commemorated in a
manner worthy of itself, by the silent expressive
offerings up of grateful hearts to that Divine
Being through whose gracious interposition it
has been achieved. We strongly recommend
the attention of our readers to the philosophic
and kindly feeling that breathes through every
line of Mr. SHELL'S speech on this glorious
occasion. In style and sentiment it forms a
striking contrast to the stale, vapid, small-
beer eloquence of that pamphlet-monger, Mr.
SADLER.

The Constitutionnel of Tuesday states that
the French Government has just rendered public
homage to the right of Donna MARIA to the
Crown of Portugal, and declares that it will re-
cognize in Don MIGUEL only the Lieutenant-
General of the Kingdom.

Extracts from the Dutch Papers will be found
in another column ; they contain no news worth

notice.
