ANOTHER LITTER.

JcNs 26. ft having been reported that the es-Emperor
Don Mr°, and suite, were expected to land here yesterday,
as the trail packet Crusader, Captain Lyne, hove in sight,
gr t numbers of elegantly-dressed fernalt3 and other fashion.
al.les crowded the pier, to witness the landing of the Royal
party. At half-past one o'clock, the ex-Emperor, accompa-
nied by the Marquis de Resenda, le Chevalier Pinto, &c•
&c. stepped on shore, and most gracefully bowed to the as-
sembled crowds, when they went to Wright's Ship Hotel,
where John %rani, Esq. collector of Customs, and Henshaw
Latham, Esq. (Mayor) had the honour of dining with the
x-Emperor.

This morning Major iVebster arrived from London, and
instantly orders were issued to pay every possible honour in
consequence. The Commandant and Officers of the garri-
son waited on the Emperor, salutes were fired, and a guard
of honour placed at the hotel.
At eleven o'clock the party started for town In three car-
riages and four ; the very handsome equipment of postilions
and horses elicited the admiration of the Ex-Emperor and
Lis suite. Nothing could exceed the style so liberally shown
by Mr. Wright on the occasion.

We regret to observe, in a letter from Antwerp'
that the cholera has broken out at Hamburgh. If such be
.he elute, the precautions lately used with respect to vessel
coming from that port arc more than justified.
The Deputies from Belgium had an interview
ith Prince Leopold last evening, and received a communi-
cation from his Royal Highness. Immediately after the
receipt of which, Mews. Sylvain, Van de Weyer, Vilain
XIV. and the other Deputies, left town, on their return to
Br owls.

His Majesty Don Pedro, Duke of Braganza, ac-
companied by the Marquis d'Arenze, Major Webster, Mr.
P•nto, and Mr. Gomez de Silva, arrived at the Clarendon
Hotel, Bond-street, on Sunday evening, at six o'clock.
Prince Talleyrand is said to have selected Lord
Lyndhurst's late residence in George-street, for his ambassa.
dot isi mansion, as being the only one in London capable of
af!•ording the suite of rooms necessary to his infirm state of
health. There are seven chambers on a floor in this house,
which was formerly the residence of Copley the artist (father
to Lord Lyndhurst), whose painting.room forms the ban-
quetdog hall. His Lordship, while Chancellor, purchased
an adjoining house from Mr. Delafons, the dentist, which

re•gn, having ascended the throne on the 26th of June, IMO.
The morning was ushered in with the usual demonstrations,
the ringing of the church bells, which was continued through.
tut the day, except during the hours of divine service. The
national standard was hoisted on the Government buildings,
and several church spires, and the shipping in the river
hoisted the unison jack, while numerous vessels displayed the
colours of all nations. At one o'clock, the Park and Tower
guns fired a double royal salute, in honour of the day, and
at Woolwich the same ceremony took place.
The venerable Earl of Fingall appeared at the
Levee on Wednesday, to kiss bands on receiving his
English Peerage. His Majesty, whose courteous good.
nature is on all occasions so conspicuous, laid his particular
injunctions on Lord Fingal' not to kneel low—an amiable
trait of kind attention in the Monarch. His Lordship was
attended by his son, Lord Killeen, and Str J. Dillon.—

THE HORRIBLE MASSACRE AT

NEWTOWSBARRI.

Most important evidence has been reported in
this horrible case. The justification pleaded was,
that a yeoman was the first person shot. This is
totally disproved. Let no man with a blush in his
cheek assert it again. Sergeant King of the police,
swore he himself shot the man who levelled at
Rogan, and by whom in his opinion Rogan fell
He swears more—that there were best few shots
fired after that; and he swears that there was
much firing before.
Tbz Special Reporter of the Freeman says, " On Thursday
morning, 9 o'clock, you might easily trace out every spot where
either the dead or the dying lay, by the impression of their bo-
dies on the grass or by the blood which is yet quite visible. The
stones on the road side were in many places all covered with
it, for the unfortunate creatures were lying inside and outside
the ditch, so that many of them were shot wilhin a yard of the
muzzles of the guns. Three fell in the field at the other side
between the road and the wozd, one of whom was a woman,
the mother of 5 children ! NVltere she fell was covered with
blood. The son of Doyle, from whose head I before mentioned
a ball was extracted, fell beside her. I was particularly anxious
to see the gap in which Myles Doyle fell, for there were two
victims of that name—the former is not yet dead, but I
believe there are but faint hopes of his recovery. blyles
Doyle was, I am told, a fine young man of twenty-five
year* of age—he fell by the shot that had been aimed for
another. It was his unhappy 'ether who was my conduc-
tor. The gap where he received :he fatal ball was full of
thick clotted blood. On receiving the wound he staggered
forward to the distance of a yard and fell dead. The fa-
ther trembled all over him, as he lifted up a stone that
was besprinkled with his son's blood, and then suddenly
let it drop unable to behold it. He then spewed me the
exact spot he lay on, but I confess my feelings became over.
powered when the unhappy father, with a deep sigh ex-
claimed, "It was litre poor blyley fell !" After this
I immediately quitted the ground. It is introssible to
describe the scenes that here every day present themselves to
the eye, and to recount the tales of individual affliction
which are detailed with painful minuteness. Yesterday,
on quitting the Coroner's court, we met the body of
one of the killed, a young man 19 years of age, after being
disinterred, for the purpose of being invected on the in.
quest.—His aged mother, and relatives, and friends, accom-
panied it to the court, whence they cenveyed it back again a•
the jury were dismissed. 'There was no complaint, no
cries, but on the contrary, a deep silence pervaded the entire
assemblage. The mother only now and then would "cacti',
beat her breast, while the tears trickled down in silence.
I have made it my business minutely to study the looks of
those men. I have walked amongst those crowds with an
air of assumed indifi'ererce and studied carelessness. I have
laboured to scrutinize the inward workings of their minds as
far as the calm and settled, but unnatural exterior they have
put on, would allow me ; and my decided conviction in con.
sequence is, that those men are evidently struggling with
excited feelings, with which they are labouring to keep clown
for no other reason but in the hope that impartial justice
and the laws of the land will not reduce them to the horrid
alternative of being the avengers in their own cause. I make
this assertion fearlessly, in the spirit of sincerity and honest
conviction, that the government of the country may profit by
it before it is too late, for if those men are disappointed in
that hope which at present so happily Influences them to
listen to reason and be submissive, it is not difficult to guess
how soon there will be another as 1 a greater effusion of blood.
Many circumstances are elicited from day to day which
tend to display still more forcibly the remarkable spirit with
which the yeomanry acted during their attack on the people.l
They did not fire in the directions only where it is alleged
they were menaced, but in every spot within view where
human beings could be discerned. The Rev. Mr. Walsh,
who was in a grove, very narrowly escaped, as the branches
were shot off the trees near him, and the marks of the bullets
are to be seen in many of the trunks. He saved himself by
lying down on the ground behind a hillock. This is the place
where it is sworn the firing by the people proceeded from ;
but no person in the wood fired. Young Doyle, the son of
the man whose cattle were in the pound. is still alive, but
cannot survive. The ball entered at one temple, and lodged
in the cellular membrane at the other, having passed through
the brain and skull at both sides. Vision is quite lost by
him, but as is not unusual in injuries of the brain, he possesses
perfect consciousness on all subjects but his own hurt, and
he can give details of the circumstances that preceded it.
I have just learnt with great astonishment that the en.
tire yeomanry concerned in the bloodshed of Saturday have
been allowed to depart at an early hour this morning. It
will be asked, why were they detained at all? and if by legal
authority, why have they been now permitted to go at large?
They went off before daylight, and not a single individual ,
involved in the transaction is now in custody.
Thursday night last, the Special Reporter of the .horning
Register writes thus:
I told you in the letter forwarded by me at an early hour I
this morning that the yeomanry had been permitted to depart
from this place, free from any restraint or responsibility ! '
Their being at large before the termination of the inquest, is
regarded by the country people here, who are in a frightful
slate of excitement, as a proof that they are not to be
punished for any act they do. Such an opinion must
originate more in passion than in reason—but it does pre-
vail; and it is owing to the strenuous efforts of the Roman
Catholic clergy that the people have not before this broken
into outrage.

The town of Newtownbarry would have been sacked, and
every individual suspected of participation in the yeomanry
outrage sacrificed to the intense fury of the people, had the
Clergy not controuled them by their appeals to their better
sense and feelings as Christians. It has been discovered
to day that a poor man and woman, who were missirg since
Saturday, have been drowned in the Slaney, ftotn portions
of their dress having been found in &Stream. These make
the number of dead already amount to nineken, and every
day may be expected to add others to the list.

The Freeman's Journal of Friday says—" We
yesterday received most important reports from
Newtownbarry. The previous accounts given in
this journal are completely borne out. The peace-
able di.. position of the people is established. The
fact that no provocation was given is established—
the bloodthirstiness of the yeomanry is esta-
blished, which not even the orders of their offi-
cers could check; and all this is established on their
own evidence—on the evidence of policemen, of
yeomen and magistrates ! ! Never was there a more
wanton, causeless, unprovoked rnsuutacre. We have
hazarded no word lightly. We have thrust huma-
nity aside, and read the evidence with the coldest
caution. As to the disposition of the people, what
is the evidence ? Mr. Fetus, a magistrate sad
yeomanry commander on that day, says, " When
I first appeared amongst the people, they were
peaceable; there was nothing in their conduct
which was calculated to excite fear ; there was only
one little boy who had a stick ! I addressed them,
seeing them rational and peaceable men. ThWtwo
gentlemen who were appointed as arbitrators by the

people were Protestants. Mr. M'Cliutock requested
of me to return, and tell the people so. I said.
'twill have a better effect from yoorself. Come
up with me now, for yon are perfectly safe. I
then took his arm and walked off quietly towards
the pound. We proceeded to the last house on
on the left-hand side near the pound, when we
heard a shot. Mr M'Clintock exclaimed,
"Oh ! my God, what is that?" I imagined
it to be a piece discharged by accident. A
man rather tall ran to the side of the road
and took up atones, and said if the people of
the town were of any good, they should resent the
loss of tha lives of their friends. I caught him
in my arms, and begged of him not to rush open-
mouthed on men with arms in their hands. He
became quiet." So much for the demeanour of the
people. There are two species of provocation al.
leged.—The throwing of stones, and the shooting
of a yeoman, before any firing whatever commenced.
As to the first it is no justification whatever. It is
not shown, no, not asserted, that any one man was
snuck by a stone. Lieutenant Noun, of the yeo-
manry, "saw four or live stones thrown," but not
a man struck ; but stnely even the striking of one
of such an immense force could be no adliaticn
whatever of the dreadful slaughter that was made.
As to the second, it rests only on the extraordi-
nary evidence of Nunn, whodoes not even swear posi-
tively to the fact—he thit.ks V) —lie, u person impli-
cated; but it is disproved by the gross improbability of
the thing—by the proved peaceable demeanour of
the people—and set at rest by ;he evident—of Webb;
o policeman, by Sergeuat King a policeman.
King swears " a number of' shots were fired before
that yeoman fell, and numbers of lives lost." Webb
swears the same. The filet is, the yeoman ran out
of the ranks before the guns of his comrades, and
was shot by them.
Mr. Nunn's evidence is singular in more than
that particular. He speaks of the crowd rushing
towards the yeomanry, but it afterwards seemed
they were '' rushing not towards them, but in a
parallel direction." De seems, however, to have
felt a horror on the occasion—that should weigh
for him. Major Campbell, of the Fusileers, was
called up by the yeomanry to prove that their con-
duct under the circumstances was justifiable ! But
this brave man would swear to no such monstrous
purport. On the contrary, he fully and unequivo-
cally condemned them. He said' had he been there no
lives would have been lost.' Mr. Feints swears he
said to his men, " My men, shall I rely on your
steadiness. If stones are thrown don't mind them.
On no account pull a trigger." From the direc-
tions I gave the men, i should consider them quite
unjustifiable if a shot was 6, ed, unless in absolute
defence of their lives." But that necessity he
plainly saw could not exist. There were 37 po-
licemed. meek from 150 to 200 veamen present!—
But the most conclusive of all is Lieutenant Noun's
evidence. He swears that in his opinion no orders
to fire were given whatever ! ! ! That they fired and
massacted without the alders of a magistrate or
officer ! ! ! and he swears, positively, they persisted
in firing after he had ordered them to cease. It
is unnecessary to say more. No riot act, as far as
appears, was read.—We have now established, on
the evidence of the yeomanry and police, the enor-
mous guilt of the former. We will see what will
be the result.

The Morning Register says—We have devoted
a large portion of our space this day to the awfully
important inquiry now in progress at Newtown-
harry. We cannot refrain from pointing attention
to one of the yeomanry officers, Capt. Feltus. This
gentleman, who commanded a party of the yeo-
manry, admitted on his cross examination, that—
" when lie appeared amongst the people (to ascer-
tain the nature of their grievance) they were peace-
able; there was nothing in their conduct calculated
to excite fear ; there was only one little boy who
had a stick ; lie add, eased them, seeing they were
rational and peaceable men." And what was the
effect of the interference of Captain Feltus with
these peaceable, rational, and unarmed people ?
He himself describes it. They told him that they
had been called upon to pay three half-year's tithe
within the year—that they cheerfully adopted his
advice to refer the dispute to arbitration—that they
forthwith appointed TWO PILOTZSTANT GENTLE-
aI Ex as arbitrators—that he (Captain Feltis) then
proceeded in search of the Reverend Mr. M'Clin-
tock, to communicate the offer of the people, after
entreating of the yeomanry to refrain from firing
—that the Rev. Mr. M'Clintock, after stating his
preference of a reference to lawyets, at length con-
sented to an arbitration composed of country gentle-
men—that Captain Feltus induced Mr. Nl'Clintock
to accompany him back to the people, in order to
communicate his approval of the mode of arrange-
ment suggested ; but that whilst on theirreturn, shots
we; e fired—the work of desti action had comnienced
—and the life's blood oftlie "peaceable and unarmed"
people (including the female and the child), was shed
without mercy or compunction !! ! This is a plain
statement of facts. if provocation were given to
the yeomanry—and great, indeed, must have been
the provocation that would warrant a tesult so ap-
palling and disastrous—let it appear by the verdict
of the jury, founded upon the evidence of both
sides, deliberately compared and honestly con-
sidered ; but in the name of justice and humanity,
let our contemporaries, whose habit it is to defend
every abuse of the tithe system, and the direful ef-
fects of that system, refrain from adding unpro-
voked insult to deadly injury. Let the Evening
Packet cease its effotts to mar the course of public
justice, by an anticipated acquittal of the " loyal"
yeomen who committed the homicides; %%Mist it
represents the hap!ese victims of this sanguinary
affair, as " rebels and ruthless assassins." The
fact regarding the departure of the yeomen, (none
of whom are in custody), should receive the prompt
attention of the Government.

Field-Marshal Paskewitch, a Lithuanian by
birth, served Poland in the war of 1792, under
the orders of Prince Joseph Poniatowski, and af-
terwards in 1794. at the time of the struggle for
national independence, under Kosciusko. Being
without fortune, and unable to join the Polish
Legion, commanJed by General Dombrowski, in
Italy, Captain Paskewitch took service in Russia,
where he arrived to the rank he' now occupies.
It was intended, at the commencement of the
hostilities with Poland, to appoint him Commandar-
in-Chief of the Russian forces, but it was said
at the time that he had positively declared. that
he was ready to take a command against Persia
and Turkey, but that he would not accept one
against Poland. W 0 are anxious to know will he
decline, or yield to the Autocrat's insinuations.
