ODESSA, JANUARY IS.

Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 9th January,
say that our Court had received the Turkish Note
which was to be a satisfactory answer to the ultima-
tum of our Government, but it was looked upon by
some as a mere evasion. The Council of State has
since had frequent meetings, and the answer will
soon be sent to Vienna. Ue hear that our Cabinet
considers the note of the Reis Effendi as not sal leac-
tory. It is, however, believed here that hostilities
will not break out till the weather is more favour-
able, because Moldavia and Wallachia, which will
be the first theatre of the war, have no resources to
support a great army. The Turks, as they retreat
over the Dardanelles, take everything with them, and
leave the two Provinces a desert.

This morning we received the French Papers of
Tuesday last. On the preceding day, the discussion
on the Law for regulating the Journals and Pe-
riodical Writings was continued. The debate was
opened by M. MARTIONAC, the Chairman of the
Committee, who spoke at great length in favour of
the new law ; a stormy discussion ensued, in which
some amendments were proposed and rejected, when
the debate was adjourned to the following day.
These Papers contain an Order of the Day resrect-
ing the Conspiracy discovered at Nantes, in which
five Officers (three of them in the 13th Regiment) are
denounced, and ordered to be arrested wherever they
may be found.
An article from Ghent mentions a circumstance
which is the principal subject of conversation

somewhat similar to the LOVEDAY affAir in Paris.—
A young English Protestant Lady, living at Ghent,
has turned Roman Catholic. Her mother, informed
of the circumstance, hastened to get her back, but
she avoided her, and has at present taken refuge in
the house of a Citizen. The name and age of the
Lady are unknown. _ _ _

Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the
11 th of January, and Norfolk Papers to the 15th of
the same month :

CHARLESTON, JANUARY 10.

The vain attempt to coerce Great Britain to admit
our vessels into her colonial trade, is doing great and
essential injury to the Southern States. The people
of Norfolk, at a public meeting, have expressed their
opinions and wishes on this subject, and have ad-
dressed a memorial to Congress. It has been sug-
gested by several, that a similar meeting would be
desirable in Charleston, that Government may be'
apprised of the opinions of our commercial and agri-
cultural men, in relation to the law which at present
exists, and the propriety of its repeal.

FROM HAVANNAH.—Under the Marine head, in
yesterday's paper, we mentioned that Lieut. Hearney,
of the United States brig Enterprise, had broken up
the piratical establishment at Cape Antonio. We
understand the information reached Havannah just
before the Comet sailed, by a vessel from the Cape.
It is stated that most of the crew of the Enterprise
were landed in her boats, but that the pirates fled on
their approach. The ship Liverpool Packet, Richards,
arrived at Havannah from Rio Janeiro, was twice
boa; de.] and lobbed by pirates on the passage; in
one instance the Mate was hung up, to extort confes-
sion of money being on board, and when cut down,
Le was supposed to be dead.—Charleston Courier.
TRADE OF HAVANNAH.-Our correspondence has
Lrnished us with a statement of the arrivals in that
Fart from the Ist of January to the 31st of Decem-
bcr. 1821, amounting in total to 1,322 vessels. We'
lave to notice the frequent and repeated depredations
hich have been committed of late on the coast of
that island, by a set of miserable beings, who are
most confirmed pirates. We regret also to state, that
the entrance of the port is filling up; and the channel,
by which three-deckers formerly entered without dif-
ficulty, will now barely permit 44-gun ships to pass,
Few shipwrecks had occurred in that port during the
year 1821: three only was the amount.

TRADE OF NEW YORK.—There were in the harbour
of New York, on the 31st ult. 70 ships, 51 brigs, 40
schooners, and 300 sloops.

CURACOA, JANUARY 11.

The leaders of the new Government of the Spanish
pact of the Island of St. Domingo,who have declared
themselves independent, met together and declared
that the Spanish part of Hayti is now a free and in
accident State, and its form of Government must
be Republican ; but, until a regular system can be
brought into effect, a Provisional Junta will exist, to
be cc mposed of a Captain-General and the Deputies
from the five divisions of the territory. The first
ol•;ect of the Government will be to enter into an
alliance with the Government of Columbia, and make
common cause with that Republic. Measures will
al,o be adopted for forming a similar alliance with
the Republic of Hayti. All free men, of whatever
religion or colour, born in the territory, who have
hided in it three years, are declared citizens.

DIPLOMATIC MISDEMEA Nol.7ll.—Varinus causes are
as.agned for the dispute which took place at the Pre-
sident's table, between the French and English Mi-
nisters. One of them is this :—The French Minister
having left the United States, on his return from
France found that his place at table had been, during
his absence, occupied by the British Minister. By an
adroit manoeuvre at the late dinner, he re-possessed
himself of his former place the British Minister ob-
serving that he had been ont-generalled once, but
would not be again. It is singularly unfortunate
that such a breach of decorum should be exhibited
by the Representatives of the two most civilized na-
tions in the world, in the view of our rustic Republi-
cans ; and it caps the climax of mortification to have
a Russian recal them to politeness !

Extract of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated the
Ist of January I had occasion, in my passage to
this place, to call at St. Bartholomew's, to learn the
state of the market, and while there a very fine Spa-
nish brig, prize tci a privateer schooner, fitted out at
that place, appeared off the harbour with the French
flag flying, and as his Christian Majesty's frigate,
I'Africaine, was then lying in the port, she dispatched
a boat on board of her, but on their arrival found the
Harbour Master there before them in possession,
which induce/ the French Officer to send his boat
back to the frigate for orders. The boat returned
again with a file of marines, and the brig was taken
possession of by the French crew, which being per-
ceived by the batteries, two of them commenced firing
on the vessel, and continued until she came into har-
bour, and delivered herself up to the Governor.—
There appears to be a perfect understanding between
the Government and Jolly. This is a direct violation
of the Ordinances of the Colombian Republic, for
prizes to be carried into any other place than some
port on the Main. While the above circumstance
was going on, the Commander of the French frigate
was dining with the Governor."
The last letters from Washington state, that the
stoi ies of a Diplomatic, fracas are exaggerated, and a
pt. ft ct reconciliation has taken place.

The festive season at Paris has commenced with great eclat.
Marshal SOULT gave a magnificent ball on the 34 inst. at his be-
tel in the Rue & Honore. On the 4th the Due d'Aestraaa
gave a grand ball. On the Sth the Duke de RAGUSI gave one of
I the most splendid balls that has been witnessed in Paris for se-
veral y. ars, at his grand hotel, Rue du Faubourg St. Honore;
the great court-yard was illuminated on all sides, the lamps were
gracefully displayed, and of all hues. On the grand stair-case
servants were arranged, in rich embroidered uniforms, with
baskets of burnished gold, containing odoriferous flowers,
formed in bouquets, tied with white ribbons in tows, which
they presented to the Ladies on entering. MI the English
families I)f fashionable distinction were invited. Upwards of
eight hundred personages were present. On Thursday last, Count
LAURISTON, Lord Steward of the King's Household, gave a
magnificent Ball. The Carnival is expected to be very brilliant
this season.

The cause between the Counts MONTHOLON and
BERTRAND, and Monsieur & LAYITTE, respecting the
sum of 5,000,000 francs deposited in the hands of the
latter by the late NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, at the time
of his departure for St. Helena, is now before the
First Chamber of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance
at Paris. The plaintiffs claim interest for five years
at 5 per cent. to which the defendant has pleaded
that no stipulation regarding interest was made at
the time of the deposit, and that, considering it as a
sacred deposit, he did not employ the motley in any
way to produce interest. The cause was before the
Court on Saturday last; but, on account of the pres-
sure of business, the hearing was postponed till Sam.-
day, the 23d instant.
Extract from a letter, dated Rome, Jaa. 22:—" A
great many English are in this capital. The leading
topic of conversation relates to Osman Aga, a Turkish
Grandee. This exalted individual was Chief Officer
to the Viceroy of Egypt, but, disgusted with the
dogmas of the Koran, and conceiving a partiality for
Christianity, he abruptly quitted the Mahomedan
country, and in a vessel of his own came to Civita
Vecchia, in the latter part of last month. He is ac-
companied by nine domestics, four of whom are the
finest-looking blacks ever seen. On the Corso the
gran2 attraction is this Turkish Nobleman and his
suite—for his black and white servants, all superbly
habited, generally accompany him. He has brought
a considerable treasure with him, which enables
him to vie with the richest of the Romans. On
Easter Saturday, the ceremony of christening him
and all his household will be performed in the mag-
nificent Church of St. Peter, in the presence of his
Holiness the Pope and all the Cardinals. It will pre-
sent a very imposing spectacle. The Pope, by the
way, has recently exhibited a fine trait of true Chris-
tian charity, by distributing a considerable sum of
money among the surviving relatives of about 500
poor seamen, who unhappily perished in the Adriatic
during the late tempestuous weather. Besides others,
there are upwards of one hundred poor children, or-
phans, and seventy widows. At Genoa, since the
year 1613, so dreadful a storm has not been expe-
rienced as that which raged there on Christmas Eve
last. Amongst the gossip of this city is a report,
which I believe te be well founded, that the eldest
son of the Prince of Canino (Lucien Bonaparte) will
shortly be married to his cousin, the eldest daughter
of Joseph Bonaparte, and that when the nuptials are
solemnized, the distinguished couple will proceed to
the United States of America, to reside with the
Lady's father. Measures of severity have lately been
adopted against the banditti who infest the roads in
the Papal States. Two of the ringleaders have been
sentenced to death, and several others to perpetual
, ' imprisonment. It remains to be seen whether these
miscreant highwaymen will be deterred frail their
evil ways."

WS •URBOICES IN IRELAND.
OttELOW.
The folio ing litter appears in the Grim Aim-
ing Pod:
There s part of an estate, lying between Gores-
bridge and aignamana, just out of lease, by means
of a life diopping, which has been itt possession of
the tenants' forefather's, and the same day the lease ex-
pired the landlord, who resides in this county,. to.nk
proceedings against these old inhabitants of Eden, to
turn to the road about forty families at this season of
the year, without knowing whither to go, or what
to do ; and though offering three times the rent that
they formerly paid, all was of no use ; when, seeing
no other alternative but force, and mused by the'
cruelties exercised against them, they are determined
to lose their lives where their forefathers drew their
breath. Being assisted by their friends and the coun-
try, they are now assembled under arms ; the land-
lord being obstinate, and the tenants driven to a state
of desperation, will, I am afraid, be fatal to the in-
terests of this industrious and peaceable county, as the
people are much annoyed by such proceedings at pre-
sent. It is to be hoped that it will not be the means
of bringing Peelers or the army into the county; ifit
be, we know who is in fault."
LIMERICK, FEBRUARY 9]
- - -

Monday night, the house of David Brown, a re-
spectable farmer on the lands of Dona', near Croom,
was attacked by a large party of Whiteboys, who de-
ired him to open his door and came out, and on his
refusal, they commenced firing therein, which was
promptly answered, and kept up for some time. The
insurgents finding they could not gain admittance,
set fire to the end of the house and retired. The fire
was extinguished after much exertion.
Thursday night last, an armed banditti attacked
Major Harding s house at Derawlin, searched closely
for arms, but found none, his sons having taken them
to Harding's-grove for safety, and his family having
removed to Chat leville on the last attack. They also
searched Mr. Mason's house, at Glenbrook, but got
no arms. They then broke into the house of one Wal-
lace, at Lisdane, whom they plundered of every ar-
ticle of apparel, linen &c. They next proceeded to
the house of Denis Morissy, a tenant to Mr. Mason,
and having fired a gun loaded with slugs, into the
house, they rushed in at the same moment, arid robbed
Morissy of different articles of apparel and cash, with
‘‘ hick they departed ; when Morissy, having alarmed
his neighbours, pursued them, assisted by his son ; but
attempting to secure one of them before his neigh-
bours could come up, he was fired at, and desperately
v.munded in several places, by which his life is de-
spaired of. The robbers succeeded in making their
escape across the great bog of Derawlin.
Tuesday night, the widow Lawrence's house, near
Baliingran, was attacked by a body of armed men—
the only man belonging to the house being absent, as
corporal of a guard of Yeomen, none remained but
a lad, 15 years of age, in charge of three females,
which he nobly kept, firing on the assailants, until
relief came by the report of the shots. On the coming
up of assistants, a second party of marauders were
surprised, who, it is supposed, intended to attack
other houses in the neighbourhood.
MAJOR HARE.—We have learned from a private
Correspondent, some particulars concerning this amia-
ble Gentleman, which did not appear in the accounts
of any of our contemporaries :—" On the villains en-
tering his house, into which they were admitted by
one of the servants, so that they made no noise to
alarm or awake the family, they proceeded up stair,
and the first notice he had of them was, by Mrs. Hare
hearing them at her bed-room door, and awaking
him. He started up, and armed himself; when Mrs. H.
begged of him not to go out, to which he answered,
" let the ruffians come," and instantly going out in
the hbhy, fired at the villain next him, whom he
shot ; when the fellow called out to one of his com-
panions, " Jack, that is my blood !" at the same time
returning the fire, and killing Major Hare. The shots
were fired so rapidly, that Mrs. Hare and the ser-
vants thought at the time there was but one explosion.
After committing this unprovoked murder, the vil-
lains lighted their pipes in the kitchen before their
departure:"

IRISH LAW CHANGES.—The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
of the Court of King's Bench resigned his high office
on Saturday last. On the same day the usual letter,
recommending the SOLICITOR-GENERAL as his suc-
cessor, was dispatched to England by the LORD LIEU-
TENANT. Mr. BUSH E has taken leave of the Com ts as a
practitioner at the Bar. His Patent may be imme-
diately etpected. It is understood he will go the
Lei n ster Circuit.—Freeman's Journal.
FAUX PAS EXTRAORDINARY.—A novel case came
out before the Police nn Wednesday, in a charge of
assault against an attorney, which discloses a new
scene in lite, as follows :—" A man of fashion lately
advertised for a wife, and the applicants were so vet y
numerous, that an amanuensis was required to an-
swer letters and appoint meetings. The Lady (Mrs.
B. of rank in herself, and allied to others of title),
who was the cause of the present disclosure, was
amongst the number of applicants, and although on
the verge of fifty, with a family grown up, an-
swered the advertisement, and came more than 200
miles from the country for an interview with the ad-
vertiser, who having too much business of the kind
on hand, turned her over to a friend, a Naval Offi-
cer. In the second interview, the parties retired to
a house for company, and the Lady surrendered her
at discretion. Other interviews took place at
teerrsngings at the west end of the town ; but she
sought the advice of the attorney in question ; and
in another private interview between her and the
Captain, the said attorney, sans ceremonie, threw
open the door, and found the parties in an awkward
situation. The gallant son of Neptune pulled the
lawyer's nose, but the Lady interfered, and the Cap-
tain gave his address, and the lawyer promised to
leave his at a coffee-house the next day, avoiding it
at that time. A friend of the Captain's afterwards
called upon the attorney, when the alleged assault
was committed, but the case proved did not amount
1W an assault, and the warrant was dismissed."

Thursday morning, about one o'clock, the hill part
of Lincoln, was terrified by a fire which broke out in
the stable of the White Hart Inn. Three sraluali.e
horses of the posting kind were destroyed, and five
others much injured,notwithstanding the most power-
ful exertions to take them out of the stable.
