TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH FROM PARIS.
'STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

We have just received a copy of a Telegraphic
Dispatch from the Minister of the Interior, at Paris,
to the Mayor of Calais, which confirms the report of
Saragossa having fallen. The following is a trans-
lation of the Dispatch:

" PARIS, DIAT t

" THE MINISTER 07 THE INTERIOR TO THE NSTOR

OF CALAIS :

Mowsnut 11SAToR,

" The advanced-guard of the Second Corps en-
tered Saragossa on the 25th ult. The citadel of
Jaca is in the power of the army of the King—
The revolutionary Chief has been arrested, =dill'
troops have tendered their submis►ion.
" A. T. M. Benard, Mayor, Calais."

Dutch Papers to the Ist inst. and Hamburgh Pa•
pers to the 26th of Ap►il, reached us this forenoon,
but they contain no intelligence of importance. A 3
article {tom Vienna, of the 14th ult. states, that the
King of NAPLES will wait in the Austrian capital for
the result of the war with Spain, which it venture
to assert " will doubtless be soon over."

The corps of 160 men, taken to the ltforatid
KEPIIALLOS, of. Olympus, is broken up, and ih
greater .part of them returned to Europe.

we have Iven a detail of several of these outrages,
and the lkt might have been considerably augmented
from the Irish Papers received this morning. But
we hare better evidence of the character and extent
of that insurrectionary spirit which prevails in the
sister country, in some documents just printed by
order of the House of Commons.
Ave know that the state of Ireland occupies the se-
rious attention of the 13ritish Government,. and that
v.shile every protection will be afforded to the peace-
able inhabitants, by endeavourin:; to put down the
insurrection, no measures of policy necessary to allay
the factions spirit that prevails will be neglected.
The Grand Jury of the County of Cork, assembled
,t the Spring Assizes, in an Address to his Excellency
the Marquis \VELLESLEV, State, " that the spirit of
insurrection is rapidly e.xtending;" that nearly one
hundred petitions for corni.ensation for damage sus-
destruction of ca.,tle by stabbing and
rri:ed by fire,
hen breaking macliinet y, &e. " had come be-
fore them, all of which, with the exception of four or
rive, appeared to be entitled to remuneration from
the county.
" 'the system of intimidation," say the addressers,
" has been carried to such a length, that many have
been compead to desert • their lands ; all who have
0 yen evidence against the Insurgents, have done so
at the risque of their lives ; and even sons; of those
oho have cone forward to give testimony respect-
ing property destroyed, have had their houses burned
immediately on their return to their homes."
The addtessers do not profess to propose a remedy,
it observe, that in such a state of society as they
Lave described, whete all ordinary Authorities are
thiregarded, and the law of the land is set totally at
siziance, they feel themselves justified in expressing
to his Excellency, their opinion, that " to meet the
present emergency, scarcely any measure which may
be calculated upon as effectual, can be too decisive."

Br another Ad4ess, signed by upwards of 100
Magistrates of the same county, it appears that a sum
of £lO,OOO had been granted for damage sustained
by are, destruction of cattle, &c. in a comparatively
man portion of the county. The Addressers state
that all their exertions, aided by the vigorous co-ope-
ration of the unlit:ay, police, and armed associations,
Live hitherto been insufficient to counteract the de-
-I,,ns of men, who have set all the constituted audio-
sities and the laws of the land at defiance.

Consislerable difference ci opinion r.revails as to
:he best n:eans of plating down the spirit of outrage
which prevails in Ireland ; it, however, we may judge
from a fact stated by Mr. Goor.o, the King's COUn..
sel, who Fresided un,..ier the Insurrection Act in
the county of Westmeath, that Act, much as it
has been abused, ar..l severe as it must be allowed
to be, is the most cllicient in its operation :—" I
have to observe:. says (;corn, " that since,
the Proclamation for puttiog the Barony of Nloy-
cashei under the Insurrection Act (a period of neatly
tigLt weeks) IRA a single outrage has been commit-
ted in ila.tt Barony ; while in other 'Baronies to which
the lhoclamation vas not extended, many outrages
have taken place ; thereby demonstrating that the
kurrection Act has accomplished a legitimate and
kneficial oLje.ct—the prevention, and not the punish-
ment of clime."

We have authority to state, that there is not the
slightest foundation for the unwarrantable insinua-
tion in one of the Papers, relative to the sentiments
if a High Illusrrioui Personage on the subject of the
pesent contet.t between France and Spain.

It being generally understood that his MAJESTY
ear so much better, the inquiries ceased yesterday.
Yesterday morning the Duchess of CLARENCu went

Thursday night the Duke and Duchess of CLA-

This morning, at two o'clock, the Countess of
Eanott was sately delivered of a son and heir, at
!iie house of His Royal Highness the Duke of CLA-
arkcx, in Rushy Palk. We are happy to add, that
the amiable Countess, and her baby, are as well as
tan be expected.

The Chronicle of this morning has the following
:assage, with a portion of it marked, as we here give
g, in Italics :
" The news of the arrival of the traitor, A? :A Twirls, at Bene-
lenlni vgaiclt was exclusively communicated ::is morningi.: The
Ciasniele, is considered in the City to be of reat importance."
We are surprised that any respectable Paper should
think of bolstering up its reputation by a naistate-
inert like this. The news of Am ARA NT LS arrival at
Benevente appeared fiist in the Star (,f Thursday
"ening, and was copied from it into the CAronicle
ht yesterday morning.
