VIENNA. NOVEMBER N.

It is said, but without authority, that Patras has
been taken by assault. It is also said that the Greeks
found 32 of their hostages massacred, and that in
revenge they put the whole garrison to the sword.
The Greeks have circulated Bulletins, in which
they say they expect assistance from Russia ; at the
time, they say, that the intervention of the Great
Powers of Europe serves to prolong the existence of
the Turkish Empire, the Isles of the Archipelago, the
Mores, and all the ether western provinees ofTurkey,
are freed from the Turkish yoke. Such ale the ex-
pressions of the Senate of Cahmata in the last Bulle-
tins.—The whole island ef Zante is in insurrection
against the Anglo•lonfan Authorities. Troops are
expected from Corfu.
They write from Hermanstadt, that the Turkish
troops had been put in disorder, and made a retro-
grade movement, in consequence of a false report of
the approach of a Russian army.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

It is confidently reported to-day, that all cher,

The inhabitants of Madrid have, however, regain/
confidence since Government has assumed a sigma

whenever the Assembly is likely to become lbw-

Yesterday evening there was an estraordinnyas

detail of every act of their administration up to is
day; and the Assembly of the Cortes unaniossit
acknowledged that the conduct of the MinistersW

(Signatures of the Deputation.;

The French Papers up to Tuesday last, and Madrid
Papers to the 29th ult. came to hand this morning.
The former contain little intelligence of interest re-
specting France, but give ample evidence that a war
between Russia and Turkey is just at hand ; indeed
it is reported, on snore than one authority, that hosti-
lities had actually commenced. This report is,
perhaps, premature, but all the accounts concur in
the activity which prevails in the Russian Army, in
its preparations for an extensive war, and in the very
decisive tone which Russia has assumed in her de-
mands on Turkey.
The Greeks seem to have turned the report of ap-
proaching hostilities between Russia and the Turks
to their advantage, announcing that they would have
the assistance of the former Power. These is now
se doubt that Tripolizza has surrendered to the
Greeks, who appear to be victorious everywhere ;
and it is reported that Patras has been taken by as-
sault, and the Turkish garrison put to the sword.
In these events, however, England might perhaps
stand aloof; but, as if there was never to be a Conti-
nental war in which she is to look tamely on, an in-
snrrection of a formidable character is said to have 1
broken out in the lonian Islands, where the inhabi-
tants are so ungrateful as to rise against their English
protectors. This might have been expected; for
'when the Continental Greeks were boldly attempting
to break their chains and resume the dignity of their
nation, it was not to be expected that their more
courageous brethren in the Islands should passively
submit to a foreign yoke, either Turkish or foreign—
whether imposed on them by a Firroan of the GRAN')
Suwon, or an act of the Congress of the Holy

The Madrid Papers, ind the intelligence of a ice
date from that capital, in the French Journals, is oft
more favourable character than the previous accounts.
The KING is said to have refused to accept the resig.
nation of the Ministers, who have explained thpe-whole
a their conduct to the satisfaction of the Permanent
Assembly of the Cortes. This instance of firmness,
on the part of his MAJESTY is said to have discon-
4erted the disaffected, who seek to console themselves

state as to require all the wisdom and energy of the'
Government, not merely to suppress them for the
present, but as far and as speedily as possible to re-
move the causes in which these violations of the
public peace, and of the tranquillity of the country,
have originated.

.DATURD,ANCES IN IRELAND.

IRONt THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF SIONDAY.

We have endeavoured, by every possible means, to
ascertain certain important facts relative to the pre-
sent state of the country. We have carefully watched-1
the provincial Newspapers—we have corresponded'
with well-informed men in various parts of Ireland,
but particularly in the disturbed districtsr—we have
had personal communications with Gentle:leen from
the south, and with many of all classes, ini*this City,
and after all, we cannot trace the slightest symptom
of political disaffection, or of religious animosity in
any one part of Ireland. Considering that we are
acquainted with men in different ranks, of all parties
and persuasions, and that neither in one way nor
in another can we find any cause for alarm, it seems
to us most surprising, that such absurd rumours
should excite considerable agitation—rumours of
events to come, which really appear to be imprac-
ticable. For instance, it was circulated on Saturday,
that the City was to be attacked by 8000 men, some
said 80,000, precisely at the hour of eleven o'clock at
night, and that the Proclamation from the Head
Office to shut the public houses at eight o'clock, was
issued in consequence. To counterbalance this alarm-
ing report, the Evening Papers stated, that the erec-
tion of the barriers around the City had been sus-
pended, which shewed that the Government did not
anticipate any unusual occurrence immediately, or
certainly the precautionary measures would not have
been abandoned.
We waited until the awful hour of eleven should
arrive—and arrive it did—but neither Captain hock,
with his eighty thousand, appeared—nor even did
Lieutenant Starlight, with his advanced division, of
eight thousand, come forward to frighten the women
and children—for the city was never so tranquil. At
the hour of twelve, we passed through several streets,
and were much gratified to perceive the stillness that
prevailed; the unusual quietness; the total absence
of quarrelling among drunken men; in a word, the as-
pect of the city was totally changed, and we hope it
will remain in this very improved condition : but let
us inquire into the cause; the public-houses were ac-
tually shut about nine o'clock, and these nuisances
being thus closed, the labourim classes had no op-
portunity of spending their weeks wages, of getting
drunk, of quarrelling, and fighting; and, of course,
they had returned to their homes with their money in
their pockets. We have, indeed, no hesitation in
saying, that if the Magistrates would make this order
perpetual, and see it strictly enforced, it would do
snore to extend morals and civilization than all the I
Benevolent Societies will ever accomplish, and it
ought also to be carried into effect in all the cities,
towns, and villages throughout Ireland.
DISTURBED DISTRICT&I
We regret to say, that our intelligence from the i
South affords too many instances of outrage, and that
the misguided peasantry seem still to be pursuing their
lawless measures with undiminished activity.
Monday night, the house of Mr. WILKINSON, of I
Caherilly, in the County of Limerick, was searched
for arms, and the banditti obtained one musket.— i
They also attacked the house of Mr. HANNAN, where
they got another gun. On the evening of. the same i
day, four policemen were availed by a party in the t
wood near Currah, as they were returning from Ratl
keale so Pallace Kenry. The police fired into the
wood, which dispersed the ruffians. On Tuesday
and Wednesday night, the houses of four respectable
farmers, near Bruff, were searched for arms, and I
none being found, the banditti demanded money to
purchase them. The house of P. RYAN, near Hos- ,
pital, was attacked ; he refused admittance, but they ,
set fire to some rape-stalks at his door. On Tuesday, ,
the house of Mr. BURN, of Mohane, was attacked by
a party, demanding fire-arms and money. On Wed- ,
nesday night, the house of Mr. BARRY, near Bailin*.
guard, was attacked for arms. He resisted, and in
a short time, a party of the 98d Regiment =lived, z
which scoured the country till daybreak next morn- ,
ing, but no trace of the villains could be found
which spews that the military had been watched, and
timely information given to the banditti.
Thursday night, a number of armed men went to ,
the house of the Rev. Mr. MADDER, Rector of Bally-
brood, and proposed certain tegulations respecting
tithes, intimating at the same time, that if he did not
acquiesce, they would again visit him. Friday night,
the tucking-mills and house of Mr. GLEESON, near
Bruff, were attacked by an armed party, which car-
ried off a number of blankets and pieces of frieze.—
On the same night, a number of young ash-trees were
maliciously cut and stolen from the lands of Derry-
kneckane, the property of Alltt.t., Esq. in the South
Liberties of Limerick. Friday night a"party went to
the lands of Grannagh, with an intention to carry off
the trees; but being met by an adverse gang of ban-
ditti, determined to give opposition, from intetested
graves, the orchard was s.tved from destruction. It
is stated that all the horses and cars of the neigh-
bouring tenantry were put in requisition to take a
part in this outrage.
Mr. SHEEHY, of Ballintubber, has suffered a new
injury : five head of cattle were driven off his farm
of Glenquin on Wednesday last, and he can find no
account of them.
We formerly stated that the Catholic Clergy had
lost much of their usual influence with the misguided
peasantry. A threatening notice was sent to the Rev.
Mr. CONNERY, Parish Priest of Kildimo and Ard-
canny, on Sunday last, commanding him to quit his
present residence, on pain of punishment condign.
In the county of Tipperary, near Clonmel, the bad
principles of Captain Rock have been but too evidently
manifested. On Monday night, about 50 wretches
assembled between Caber and Cashel, and proceeded
to the vicinity of Knockgrafton, wherehey dragged
from a cabin a poor man and woman, whom they

flogged.
Mr. BARRY of Caber, the Seneschal to Lord GUIs-
GA Lt, attempted to hold his usual Court, at Bally-
looby, on Wednesday last ; but notices were served
on the Jurors, that they should make their wills
before they attended. The owner of the house was
also threatened, and the consequence was, that the
Seneschal could not hole his Court. In this neigh-
bourhood notices regarding tithes have been sent to
several Gentlemen, and it is intimated that great re-
ductions are expected from the Clergy.
Monday night, a large patty assembled at Thorny-
bridge, and on Tuesday night, bands, in search for
, arm entered several houses in that neighbourhood.
`They forced their way with crow-bars when refused

admittance.. They announced their determination
to abolish tithes and taxes. They searched several
houses, and obtained a few offensive weapons. On.
Tuesday night, they attacked a house at Moors-
town Walsh, within a mile and a half of Clonmel.
The occupier being in a slated hopse, resisted and
fired at the banditti. The party retired tor a short
time, but returned with spades, 55.411 which they
snipped a part of the roof, and threw' in burning
turf and straw. Under these circumstances, the oc-
cupier, Mr. Moen's, was obliged to surrender his
arms, two muskets and a pistol. They told MORRIS
that they would soon swear him not to pay either
tithes or taxes. In the neighbourhood of Rosogroon,
notices were posted that no person should offer more
than 30s. rent for the best land, and from that raw
down to 14s. per acre; and also, that no arrears of
tithes should be paid.
COUNTY OF MAYO.
Although this county continues free from acts of
open violence, the system of administering unlawful
oaths is extending among the peasantry. It has now
got into the Barony of Tyrawly ; four persons, *
namely. John Carr, Peter GiUesAy, Eneas Early, and
Matthew Chambers, of the parish of Crossmolina,
having been on Tuesday committed to the county
jail by GEORGE °Emmy, Esq. of Germer Abbey,
charged with being Ribboninen, and with aiding and;
assisting in administering unlawful oaths.
COUNTY OF ROSCOMMON.
Wednesday se'nnight, in consequence of an alter-
cation that took place between them, a man named
Cunningham was killed here by a thrust of a cane
sword, which he received through the heart, from
one 111•Manusr of the Roscommon Police. An In-
quest was held on the body, the next day, and a
verdict of 014/4/ Murder was returned against the
police man. He has been committed to Roscommon
jail to abide his trial at the ensuing Assizes.
COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
Saturday se'nnight, about four o'clock in the after-
noon, the Rev. Mr. TURNER, Rector of Duleck, was
stopped near his own house, by three footpads, well
armed, who dragged him off his horse, and after
having covered his face with the cape of his surtout,
threw him on his back on the ground, while they
tore his clothes and rifled his pockets. They took
from the Gentleman £l9 in notes, some ten-penny
pieces, a silver muff-box, and a valuable watch.
COUNTY OF CORK.
A person who acted as a sort of leader among the
marauders, has been arrested by ROBERT Twins, Esq.
an active Magistrate of the county of Kerry, and
conveyed to Dublin, where be is expected to give
much valuable information. He is a person above
the ordinary rank, and has disclosed the names of
nearly three hundred individuals who were engaged
in these nocturnal disturbances. He has also, we are
informed, given information where thirty stand of
arms have been recovered. Much credit is due to
Mr. Twists for the address and promptitude with
which he effected the arrest of this man. Mr. Twin
being armed, met him in a solitary part of the coun-
try, and having reason to suspect his being engaged
in the late disturbances, threatened him unless he
made a disclosure of all he knew, which, after some
time, he consented to do. He was then forwarded to
the metropolis, where Mr. Twigs has also gone.
DREADFUL CATASTROPIIEr•Wednesday evening,
about six o'clock, a most promising young Gentle-
man, fifteen years old, the eldest son of Major LENON,
who resides at Grange Cottage, in the Queen's
County, Ireland, within three miles of Callow, got
leave from his father to go out for the purpose of
killing rabbits. The young Gentleman wrapt him-
self up in a Portuguese cloak, with the intention of
calling upon the son of a neighbouring farmer, of
the name of MAKER, some years older than himself,
who generally accompanied him on such occasions.
In a fatal moment, however, Mr. LENOX, conceived
the idea of giving the young farmer a surprise,
and concealing his face—which he did by ele-
vating the cloak above his head—on arriving at Mr.
MAHER'S house he assumed a feigned voice, and
leaning over a hatch-door, demanded their money,
arms, &c. Young MAKER, the rustic friend and com-
panion of Mr. LENON'S hours of recreation, struck
with the supposed danger of the moment, seized a
blunderbuss loaded with slugs, which lay by the fire-
side, and fired it at the young man, in whose defence
he would have died. himself ! The consequence was,
the nose, and a considerable part of the head, were li-
terally blown away. Dr. REED and Surgeon BYRN,
of Carlow, were immediately sent for, but they could
only put an-end to thetorturing anxiety of the wretched
parents of both the patties, by declaring that hope had
fled for ever! Mr. LEMON died on Thursday.--
The miserable young man who committed the act,
was seized with a delirium, and has gone off, no
person can tell where! Saturday there was a Coro-
ner's Inquest held on the body.—Verdict, Acciden-
tal Death.—Carlow Journal.
Mullins IN WHITECHAPEL.--A few nights since
a horrid murder was perpetrated in the neighbour-
hood of Whitechapel, on the person of Richard Neads,
a labourer. It appears that on the night of the mur-
der, the deceased was, with some of his companions,
at the Green Man public-house, in Castle-street,
Whiiechapel, where a man, named Mahoney, with
whom the deceased had fought a pitched battle about
twelve months ago, interfered with their conversa-
tion, and brought forward this circumstance, which
gave rise to high words. Mahoney coolly observed,
" That he was not done with the deceased, and it
would not be long before he would do for him," or
words to that effect ; and on Neads quitting the place
with his companions, about one o'clock in the morn-
ing, Mahoney, in company with another man, fol-
lowed him outside the door, and made an attack
upon the deceased, who was knocked down by him,
and beaten in a dreadful manner. On the deceased
getting up to defend himself against the attacksof
his opponer.t, the latter seized a tremendous stone,
and, with the greatest violence, gave the deceased a
blow upon the back of the head, which felled him to
ithe ground in a state of insensibility, and the blood
issued in profusion from his nose and ears. Assistance
was immediately rendered to the unfortunate man,
who was taken to the London Hospital, and pot
to bed. A Surgeon attended him, and on examining
'his head, a dreadful injury was found on the back
part. Every attention was paid to him, but after
lingering in the greatest agony until Monday, be ex-
pired from the effects of the violence he had received.
He has lelt a wife and two children to deplore his
loss: Nl.dioney was taken iu custody.
