The accounts from Ireland this morning are of a
very painful nature. While the Special Commission
at Cork is condemning men to death by ten or twelve
in a day, the lawless marauders continue their out-
rages in various parts of the country. The Irish
Papers have long teemed with accounts of the mur-
ders of peaceable inhabitants, and the burning of
houses and other property ; and now, in addition
to these, they record one of the most brutal of
crimes—the violation of nine females, the wives of a
detachment of the Rifle Brigade, on their way from
blitchelstow•n to Kilfinan. The lives of two of the
poor women are despaired of.
It appears from an article in the Leinster Journal
that an attempt had been made to put the Habeas
Corpus Suspension Act in force against the Editor,
by some person giving false information to one of
the Magistrates, but who soon became convinced that
he had been imposed on.

Twenty Whiteboys were tried and found guilty on
Tuesday and Wednesday last, before the Special
Commission at Cork. In the Counties of Kerry and
Cork the outrages continue unabated.

At a late hour this forenoon we received Flan-
ders, Dutch, and llamburgh Mails, bringing Papers
to the 231 instant. The following are extracts:

ZANTE, JANUARY 10.

The Consulate of France was burnt down, with
everything it contained, in the last combat between
the Greeks and the Turks. It is no secret who in-
duced this cowardly deed, and the criminal authors
of this horrible intrigue are known.

The English brokers have negotiated the ransom
of the women of Chourschid Paella, who were in the
hands of the Greeks; 500,000 francs have been paid
for their release, and the intermediate agents have
had besides, for their share, 250,000 francs more,
which will be divided amongst great personages.
The persecutions directed against all persons
suspected of entertaining opinions favourable to the
cause of the Greeks, continue with bitterness in the
lonian Islands.

lay was, howeier, excited by the bringing in of a Greek
palms as a prize. Nine guns were fired from the
castle on its arrival, to announce this capture to the
inhabitants; but when the ship was examined, and
found to be quite empty, their joy was changed into
rage, and the ship has been sent to Oran, to serve for
the conveyance of corn. Four hundred Turks have
deserted, to go to Asia to try to make their fortune
by robbing and murdering the Greek inhabitants.
—We are, happily, free from the plague, but ano-
ther evil threatens us, viz. a total failure of the crops.
For these ten weeks we have not had a drop of rain.
The earth can neither be ploughed nor sown. This
is a circumstance which the oldest inhabitants do not
recollect to have happened before. We have had at
times a drought in March or April, but in Autumn
it used always to rain."

BERLIN, FEBRUARY 14.

The latest accounts from St. Petersburgh bring the
following particulars: _ _

" Numerous conferences are held in the hotel of
the Minister for Foreign Affairs respecting Turkey.
Baron Strogonoff is present at these Councils, and
seems to have great influence. Many couriers are
dispatched, some to the head-quarters of the Russian
armies, and others with dispatches for the Russian
Ambassadors and Ministers at foreign Courts. Some
Aides-de-Camp and other superior Officers, from the
south of Russia, have arrived at St. Petersburgh.—
The profoundest secrecy is observed, both with regard
to the diplomatic negotiations and the military dis-
positions. A Turkish agent is said to have arrived
at Tehei an, to arrange all the differences between
the Porte and Periia."

The French Papers of Thursday and Friday last

have been received.

The Chamber of Deputies were occupied on Wed-
nesday and Thursday with the resumed discussion on
the Projet respecting the Sanitory Police, several of
the Articles of which were agreed to. In the Cham-
ber of Peers, the Count PORTALIS presented the Re-
port on the Projet, relative to offences of the Press,
the discussion on which was fixed for Monday. The
Pi ojet relative to the Journals was referred to a Spe-
cial Committee of five, consisting of the Count
FERRAND, the Duke de DOUDEAUVILLE, the Duke
de Laws, the Marquis de TALARU, and the Count
Jutzs de POLIGNAC. The following are extracts:
