LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1829.

An Express has just arrived at the North
and South American Coffee-house, which brings
the following important information :—" Che-
valier Don ANTONIO DE MELLO, Aide-de-Camp
to General VILLA FLOR, Governor of Terceira,
arrived yesterday at Exeter, from whence he pro-
ceeded to Portsmouth with despatches to the
Marquis PA L/SIRLLA, announcing the complete
defeat of the army of Don MIGUEL, which landed
at Terceira on the 11th inst. The invading
army lost 1,200 men in killed, wounded, and
prisoners. Amongst the killed is the General
second in command of the Miguelite army."

The French Papers contain little further

intelligence of moment from the East. The
Messager des Chambres, in an article dated
Vienna, says that the English Ambassador re-
ceives despatches every day, and every day also
sends a courier to Constantinople and London,
whence it plausibly enough deduces that some
great project is on the tapis. The Journal des
Debats enters into a sort of analytical detail of
the proceedings of the late French Ministry,
penned in a tone of hostility towards the new
Administration, which is characterized as being
a detachment of five men, including the
French Minister, who have been put in
motion by Lord WELLINGTON, and have
taken possession of the French Ministry in a
moment,of Court intrigue and Parliamentary ac-

tivity." With regard to affairs in the East, the
same Journal observes, " The empire (Turkey)
is about to be dissolved by revolt and conquest ;
Greece gave the signal, Russia will complete
the work." Certainly appearances just at pre-
sent are in favour of this hypothesis ; but, ne-
vertheless,'we can scarcely reconcile ourselves to
the idea of a large, populous, and enthusiastic
nation falling suddenly, irrecoverably, and almost
without a struggle. The thing appears prepos-
terous, and contrary to what Philosopher Square
would call " the fitness of things." A few days,
however, will suffice to explain away all that is at
present mysterious and unintelligible in the mat-
ter. Meantime we cannot but think that treachery,
and that to no small extent, has been at work to
palsy the efforts of the Sublime Porte.

Advices from Cronstadt state that no less
than fifty vessels had been taken up to convey
stores to the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean.
Of these it is said that twenty are English and
the remainder foreign.

The letters from Stockholm affirm that the
Assembly of Nobles had come to a resolution
that their sittings should be public.

The seizure of arms throughout Tipperary has,
we regret to learal, become quite general. The re-
cent acquittals of the Policemen concerned in the
affair at Borris-o'-kane have enraged the peasantry
to a degree bordering on desperation ; in short,
our latest intelligence from that quarter states
that there is no scheme of disorder, or even
bloodshed, for which they are not fully ripe. The
most desperate efforts are every day made to pro-
cure guns, pistols, and other implements of de-
struction, and to such a degree of violence have
the infatuated peasantry already pi oceeded, that
a short time since a party of them attacked, in
day-light, one of the Coroners for the
broad
county, and beat him so dreadfully that he now
lies
i„ a most deplorable condition, hovering be-
tween life and death. In consequence of these
and other disturbances, which are of daily, we
might almost add, hourly occurrence, the Ma-
gistrates of Clonmell have very wisely come
to the resolution of calling upon Govern-
ment to appoint two Stipendiary Magistrates for
the county. Nothing short of some such precau-
tion, commenced and followed up with promptness
and determination, can possibly preserve the
peace
of the South of Ireland, to which Tip-
perary forms a sort of rallying point, or nucleus

of disaffection. But it is not the mere appoint-
ment of Stipendiary Magistrates, or the increase
of an English military force, that can keep Ire-
land tranquil ; the remedy must be of a deeper,
a more enlarged, a more comprehensive charac-
ter. It must originate with the Bench, and
thence proceed downwards, through all the in-
ferior departments of the law. We must no
longer have an ermined official pronouncing ora-
cularly from the judgment seat, his opinion of
the legality and justifiable nature of those party
processions, which for years, have been the bane
of Ireland. We are led to these remarks from
the circumstance of our having learned, that
another Judge—whose conduct, in other respects,
has given very general satisfaction on the circuit
—has thought it fit and becoming in him to de-
clare " Orange processions legal." As a
lawyer he may, perhaps, have fancied him-
self justified in coming to such a con-
clusion, but as a man, as an acute observer of,
and reasoner on, passing events, he cannot but
have perceived long since that the annual pro-
cessions of the Brunswickers are, beyond all
other nuisances, precisely those best calculated
to keep alive an unnatural sectarian spirit. It
will never be well with Ireland till these dis-

auctions of caste are forgotten, till the Orange-
man has learnt to lay aside his bigotry, the
Papist his prejudice, and until both parties agree
to meet each other publicly and in private, on
terms of a more equal and social fellowship than
at present.
