to the deserters of the Royal Navy and Army of France,
that the King. wishing to signalize by acts of benevo-
lence the happy epoch of the birth of his Royal High-
ness the Dul.•e of Bordeaux, has granted them an entire
Amnesty. The pardon extends to all those who have
been apprehended and not tried. Six months are allowed
to those who are in Europe. One year to those out of
Europe ; and eighteen months to those beyond the Cape
of Good Hope, to return and report themselves to the
proper authorities.

[EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TUE HATANNAH OF Tit E
Hru or APltt 1..]
Oa the 7111 of July, the Spanish schooner Rolla,
Wares, within a few leagues of liarannah, having on
hoard 350 slaves, was captured by the Corvette, Admiral
Brien. The crew of the Rolla were all landed imme-
diately, except one Spanish Officer and four seamen. A
few days afterward they were joined by the brig Inde-
pendence, manned entirely with Americans. These two
vessels came off the Port of Ilavauualt to plunder the
trade.

By an intimation in another column our readers are
apprised that the claim of the Qi ccv to be crowned is
probably tereiying at the moment we are writing, its
final adjudication. it woulf! therefore be neither season-
Ale nor decent to anticipate the derision of the Conn-
-61 to whom the question has been subinitted ; nor is it
on any account necessary to attempt an rlditional
illustration of the arguments that have been ad-
vanced in sapport of her MAJESTT'S right.—
It may be more proper at the present time to
turn our attention from the consideration of the right
to participate in the Coronation, to the e..rp,,lieney of
celebrating such an expensive ceremony at all. Re-
pecting, its importance either as a political act or as a
religious ceremony, we cannot conceive that any
attempt can now a days be made to urge it, pith the least
pretensi: Rs to f.rravity ; and as to its efficacy in im-
pressing the minds of the public with any additional
sentiments of respect for royal rank, we are coutident
as little can be truly said. Of the manner in which
the Coronation of the preceding KING was treated by
persons of talent and rank who were either spectators
or actors in the pageant, we have given some evidence
in the extracts in our other columns ; and vet that
was a coronation at which there was no blank
to occasion regret for the want of those sensations
which female brilliancy and attractions are calculated
to inspire, nor any party spirit or mortified political
feeling to diminish the impressions for which the
parade had been prepared. On the present occasion,
to contemplate such a ceremony, shorn as it must be
of its brightest beams, by the exclusion not only of the
QUEEN, but of ell the female Court, in consequence,
from the procession, is a step we could not have
deemed justifiable, unless demanded by necessity.—
Supposing the minds of the public were more sus-
ceptible than we believe them to be of receiving an
exalted sense of the Royal dignity from the
outward and visible signs about to be displayed,
is not the QUEEN CONSORT a branch of Royalty t
and is it judicious, in an attempt to promote
veneration for that quality, to distract it with
those feelings which the recollection of that de-
graded branch cannot fail to excite ? To suppose
that the people can otherwis. feel, is to imagine them
to be as ungenerous as weak. Independent, however,
of these considerations, which ought to have had due
weight nit!' those who have advised the celebration,
there is another which ought to have produced a
solemn pause before it had been decided. This is
avowedly a period, more than any other in the Bri-
tish annals, for economy in every branch of the na-
tional expenditure. Unwilling as Ministers have
been to Lave the mortifying truth believed, and
reluctantly as they have been compelled to
acknowledge it, concealment is, in this case,
no longer possible. The state of the public
income loudly proclaims it ; and in the very branch
on which the first Lord of the Treasury rested his be-
lief of the ease and aNuence of the people, there is the
most manifest proof of deficiency. The time of pith-
lic embarrassment, and individual and general distress
is of all times the most improper and unbecoming for
the pomp and splendor of an expensive and evanescent
ceremonial.

By a ministerial paper of last night, it appears that
the actual deficiency of the Consolidated fund amounts
to 1,929,730/., being a larger deficiency than in the
corresponding quarter of last year, to the amount of
267,935 L ; and taking the Consolidated Fund fot the
half year, it will be found to have decreased as compared
with the same period last year 723,1101. making► the
total arrear 10,4.16,737/. on the sth instant, instead of
9,946,737/., as the 600,000/. alluded to by that paper
is only a transfer. The actual debt remains the same,
but we apprehend this is done to make the account ap-
pear better than it really is, and to endeavour to
disguise the real deficiency of this quarter, viz.—
1,925,7301. The comparison as to last year will be
thus:—

Surplus, from Jan. to April 5, 1820 - 11764,690
Do. do. do. 1821 - 309,515
Deficiency, April 6, to July,lB2o • - 1,1%0,795

It Is said that bis Majesty intends passing the
whole of August, and the greater part of September,
in Ireland.

ORANGE ASSOCIATION IN IRELAND.

A desperate and bloody affray, we regret to learn,
has taken place between the Orangemen and the Catho-
lics of Bandon, by which the town for almost the entire
sky, was in a state uf the utmost alarm, confusion, anal
horror. The outral:e, it appear•, was occasissiest by
a procession of the Orangemen, prepared especially to
irritate the Catholics, un the Ist of July, the anniver-
!Jay of the Battle of the Boyne; and, as if intended to
be made more revolting and disgraceful, the scene wan
exhibited on a Sunday. The particAllars, it is states!,
by The Dublin Ertaing Poet, are spread out to a ereat
length in the Cork Journals, and the following are a
few extracts from their abridged acroysts
THE FIRST OF JULY AT BANDON.

[From a Corrrspoodemt of the Cork Chronicle.]
I, When the wished for nourning,however, was ushered
in by the roar of cannon, every thing seemed to wear a
restless aspect. The Orangemen commenced at the ap-
pointed hour of eleven, their procession to Church—
their drums and fifes played in turns ' Protestant Boys,
and Croppies lie down.' They then went forth, dis-
charging their fire arms, and intemperately homed at
every Catholic Douse they passe:!, and proceeded to the
Castle road—here a portion of their time was employed
in consulting whether they slionld alter their usual route
and return by Chapel•strect, which is Chiefly Catholic,
and which claimed a prescriptive right to oppose their
array, in case they should persist in such an nndertak-
ing—they prepared themselves for action. A few Ca-
tholics anneal themselves with stones, and heated with
drink, assembled for resistance. The °rani:entail ap-
proached—the fray coususenved, and went on for some
time with doubtful issue. The Catholic cousbatants, be-
ing somewhat protected by their intervening houses.
foolishly kept the Orangemen stationary in a lane, tiring
at themselves and every passenger by whom it was
crossed. lathe general confusion, a poor woman, in the
delicate situation of advanced pregnancy, %%as shot
through the heart! The tire of muskets anal pistols conti-
nued, and several wounds were thereby hulloed. Some
individuals began to distribute at their houses, swords and
guns to every Orangeman capable of hearing arms. They
crowded to the scene of Riot. Mr. Jervoi., at the head
of the Dragoons and Yeomanry, now arrived ; and rico
their presene.., did not terminate the watuots anal indis
criminate depredations that had been commenced. The
Orangemen broke every door and u indoor in the neigh-
bourhood.
FROM AI. °ARES FONDEST or THE sOCTIIFR REPORTER.

!laving continued their march from Clinch. till they
came to Castle IlernarJ, the seat of the Ein of Bandon,
they halted, with au i ttttt iense concourse of People that ac-
companied them, and remained here for some time, hozza-
i nz, tiring of guns, with other demonstrations of joy. On
their return to Castle Ilernar,l, it opprs they had a chal-
lenge from a party of the opposite versa ision. On their
descent from the hill which led to the Cross. thev were
assailed, as well as I can understan.l, midi a shower of
stones. This. in a short time, led to an engagement, iu
which several were dreadfully n wimle : one young
woman named Peggy earthy, otherwise Crawley, met
her death, as report says, from a cannon, while she was
in the act of filling het apron with stones. Of the truth
of this I cannot vouch, but it appears the Orange Party
were not prepared fur the attack, and filled the small
cannon they carried before them (for the purpose of
tiring) with stones, and disrlaarg: I it at the assailants.
Before a party of the Carbineers had time to arrive, a
great deal of mischief was done ; tie n inflows of several
of the houses battered to pieces. pr,sented a terrible
wreck, and the scene of confusion at the time the
dragoons was galloping through was terrible. This
part of it I witnessed myself—one man of the name of
Shea, was wonmled in the groin. and his life is de-
spaired of.
