NAPLES, JANUARY 21.

On the 25th inst. the Crown Prince of Denmark
it-ended Mount Vesuvius, to oVerve, near at hand,

The Deputies of the Society of German Mer Chants
and Manufacturers have addressed a long Memoriai
to the Emperor of Austria, to show the advantages
that would accrue to his Sr;jesty's dominions in.part
ticular, as well'as to Germany in general, by the es,
tablishment of heavy duties, to be levied on the fron,
tiers, upon' all foreign goods,, and the abolition of
tolls, ato.,-in the interior of the Getman Confedera,
tion ; they think that the importation of the manu;
factures of France and England, 4c. might be wholly
prevented, whereas they are now smuggle,: in, in
such quantities, that prohibitions only injure the sub-
, jects of the State ;. for, while the home manufactures
derive but little advantage from them, the subjects
of his Majesty must pay the premium had for sniug
glint, it being notorious, that thc:e are on the how.
tiers, Assurance Companies against loss by smuggling.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has recently adopted A
most liberal system of treatment v.-ith regard to his
Jewish subjects. lie has given orders that Rabbies,
previous to their being appointed to particular Syna,
gogues, shall be examined as to their proficiency in
the philosophical scierces and theology, and that sti--
pends shall be assigned to them, cn a scale corres-
ponding with their acrinirements. _

IRELAND,

RIBANDMEN,

The Dublin Papers contain further details of the
disturbances in the Western distracts. The activity
of the resident Gentry, :tided by an increasing mili-
tary force, is, however, expected to speedily suppress
these tumults. Three hundred and fifty of the Royal
Veteran Battalion, commanded by Colonel Twigg,
arrived at Galway on the :.'nth last.. A strong divi-
sion of the 95th Rifle 13rig.ade marched into that
town. The 7th Regiment have nibiyed front Gal-
way and Tuarn to the county of Roscommon: The
whole frontier of the county of .Mayo; adjoining Gal;
way and Roscommon, is lined by parties Of the Mi-
litia Staff and 'Yeomanry..
The Dublin Etieniq Post says:—" From the Talon
Gazette, it appears that the. Ribandmen in the neigh-
bourhood of that town suffered some of their associ-
ates to return to their agricultural duties, in conse-
quence of the reduction made by some of the laud:-
lords in that vicinity in their rents. Is not tbis tact
a presumption that 'thdse infatuated men have no
ulterior objects, as has been asserted, in cOntMgl.-
ticin?"

The Dublin Evening Pest contains the following
extract from a letter iriam a Gentleman of the first
respectability, who lives in the rieigl:ouurhood of
Loughrea, to the Editor cf that

Mrch I, I SCO;
". Precisely at one ecleck in the meriting of
yesterday, a patty of Ribandmen made an attack
en the house of Mr: Daly, of Raford, for the purpose
of taking away this Gentleman's arms. The pai;ty,
consisting of about fifty, thought to effect their pin,
pose by surprising Mr. Daly and his lit.the garrison.
They advanced without making the •smallest noise,
until they got within fifty yards of the house, where
the main body remained, and six rushed forward tp
break open the hall-door, where they were protected
by a large stone door-case from the fire of the guard
in the house. These men were protected by six 7mort
of the *Ribandmen,.. who drew up within a few yards
of the house, and who immediately fired a volley
into the window and gateway over the great hall.
The fire was returned with great spirit, and Mr,
Daly immediately began to tumble down great stones
which Were placed on the window-stool of the win-
dow that stood over the hall-door. This mode of-
warfare terrified the persons attempting to break into
the hall, and the whole party began to run with
great speed in every direction. Mr. Daly at this in-
stant, accompanied by his brother, Captain Daly,
and some of the servants, rushed out of the hall-door,
and, with courage bordering on the greatest rash-
ness, went in putsuit of them. The Ribandmen ran
so fast, that they could not be overtaken. I am
happy to say, that Mr. Daly and his brother returned
with the lest of the party, without suffering the
smallest loss. Mr. Daly is possessed of a great estate
in this county, and is not only a good,y but a very
kind landlord, and is of coo: se Leioved by ail his
tenantry. The family of Raford is a Roman Catho-
lic family of high rank and resp.-ctabilizy in the
county of Galway. I meilion these circumstances
merely to shew that region has nothing to do nith
the disturbances at present rating in the county, and
that the deluded creattnes could .have no other ob-
ject in making this attack on Mr. Daly's house, but
merely to get possession Of his arms, the better to
enable them to carry on the war which the peasantry
are new waging again., the Gentry f the' co! nty.
GALWAY, FEBRUAIty 26.--On the night of l. ed-
nesday, at Cuirofin, about eleven miles from hence,
a rencontre took place between a body of these mis-
I creants, computed at about fivellundied; and a num-
ber of persons who live at that and a isw of the ad-
jacent villages) which terminated, after a most san.
I
guinary conflict, in several being severely wounded
on both sides. The assailants were, however, con
polled to decamp, without succeeding in making fur-
ther incursions that night, or the administering of
illegal oaths. One man belonging to the Rihan,t ban-
' ditti was shot the preceding night, in a contest be•
tureen them and the villagers otAnna,
