STAT:

sines*, it would be premature to offer those conjec-1
tures which naturally present themselves to those
who are acquainted with the agitated state of the,
public mind throughout the King of Sardinia's do-I
minion..

You have so doubt heard of Cot Browne's assas-
sination. This event is also annonneed in the same
journal, and is reported to have taken place on the
tith, as be was coming out of the theatre de to Sealer.
There were three men concerned, and stiletto's
were the weapons employed. Every effort is of course
making, to discover the perpetrators of this horrible
crime. It is however most extraordinary, that know-
ing, as the unfortunate victim must have known, the
character of those amongst whom he had lived so
long, should have remained at Milan after his mission
had torminated.
Elwin Spain the accounts are by no means antis-
ffietory. The Ministers of Ferdinand continue
to be very unpopular, and they deserve to be
to; if what is related of their late measures is true.
It is certain that a representation numerously signed,
was presented to the King by the Municipal body,
praying that his Majesty would dianales his present
seiVentsPrand appoint others more efficient in their
stead. Ferdinand's answer, dictated by themselves,
weut to say that they were good enough, and he saw
no reason for changing them. On the 29th ult. the
Marquis de Ceralbo caused the patriotic societies of
the Cruz de:Matta and Fartera dr 0,•o, to be shut up.
Several arrests took place the following day, and
amongst these was Mide .Vora, r litor of El Crodetit a-
eioaal, his case deserves particular notice, as it seems
that the first principles of the constitution have been
violated in his person. By the 247th article of
the new code, no Spaniard can be punished
without a previous act of accusation being drawn
up, and the .causes of his detention clearly specified.
M. de Mora, has, however, been unable to ascertain the
motives of his confinement, and the manner of his
arrest was particularly injurious to the Interests of the
ministers. Sent for by Aran*, as he thought, to
have a private interview, he had no subtler reached
the latter's house, than a party of soldiers seised and
oarried him to prison, where he has since remained,
without being suffered to have any communication
with his family or friends. It should be added that
his paper, which was to have been enlarged and ren-
dered still more favourable to the cause of freedom,
on the very day of his arrest, has been also suspended.
Nor have all his efforts enabled bin, to find out, why the
'
Mioist rs should select him as an object of such mark-
ed persecution. To say nothing of the injury which
the Constitutional system must sustain by this illegal
conduct of the Spanish ministry, M. de Mora has pe-
culiar claims to the sympathy of Englishmen, he has
repeatedly pointed out to his country, that we are the
natural allies of Spain, and in the spirit of true libe-
rality made a proper distinction between us and our
ministers. M. de Mora, is also the translator of Je-
remy Bentham's admirable address to the Cortes and
people of Spain, than which, a more unanswerable or
important appeal never came from the pen of that
great and good man. Let us hope that the free press

Ferdinand, that, they are mistaken if they imagine it
possible to goiern without such an opposition as the
Constitution justifies, and flint when they cease to
administer justice in the spirit of that Constitutio •,
the best, perhaps only guarantee for its stability, is
forsaken.
All we know of OW new Congress is, that the So-
vereigas have arrived at Laybacb. Various st 'ries an
itt similation Maths to the journey of Ferdinand
tr. and of his Otreties* through haly, some say that
he betrayed symptoms of regret at having become a
constitlatioisal inosarch instead of a despot, others that
his swift sense of religion, will steers him against
yielding to the persuasions or Menaces of. the Holy of&
haw. Of use fact there is no doubt, it is that from the
day of his landing at Leghorn till his arrival at Lay.

CORA COUNTY MEETING.
--..--
1111014 AL DEFEAT /Mit 71.1011 T Of TUB uvreA-Lomurre,

A COUNTER ADDRESS CARRIED lIT ACCLAMATION.
The Count y Meeting called by the High Sheriff, to
prepare a detiful and loyal Address to his Majesty, has
terminated, after a day limited with more extraordinary
proceeding, than have characterised any of the meetings
whisk have yet taken place in any other County. The
assemblage exceeded any we have ever seen within the
walls of the Court. Through the private avenues to the
Court. those Lords and Gentlemen who were expected to
take a prominent part in the profeedings were seen ap-
proaehing towards the Huaangs, but they could not suc-
ceed for a long time.
The name of the Earl of Bantry was announced from
without. bat a quarter of an hour elapsed before his
Lordship could gain admission. His Lordship at length
got on the Hustings, when the High Sheriff, the Hon.
William Smyth Bernard, read the requisition upon
which he had convened the meeting.
After some smart altercation respecting the reading of
the requisition, and the High Sheriff's answer,
Lord BANTRY rose and read an Address, which he
parsed with a very few words, expressive of a hope
that jt meald mese the general approbation. It tom=
merge'd by expressing attachment to his Majesty's Per-
son Thtone, and Government, adverted to blasphemy
and sedition, and stated the determination of the Ad-
dressers to support the Constitution.
Lord Dotraitamt seconded this Address.
WILLIAM Srewata., Esq. begged leave to ask the two
Noble Lords a simple question. lie supposed he was
not mistaken in believing thew both to be friends of the
present Administration. Now, report gave out that
this Administration had issued their orders to get up
what they were pleased to call Loyal Addresses, but
which were in fact only intended to bolster up their own
broken fortunes. He would yield to no man in loyalty
to the King and attachment to the Constitution; but
the homage he would pay to the Sovereign he would
not pay to his Ministers.—(Cheers)—lle called on the
Noble Lords to state in candour whether they meant to
imply any approbation of Ministers or their measures,
and hoped they would explain.
The Hon. Mr. HAIM M. P. rose to order, and said, the
object of the Meeting was defined and no other topic
should be canvassed.—(4lreat clamonr.)—He had no ob-
jection to say, however, that the support of Ministers
was not Intended by the Address—(cheers)—and there
was a tit sera' disclaimer by the Requisitionists on the
Hued, gee.
Jona. Srawat.t., Esq. of Kilbrittain, said, as the Noble
Lords and the Hon. Gentlemen had disavowed any such
object, they could have no objection to a short addition,
which he 'would move to the Address, which went to
guard it from imploring approbation of the measures of
the preset administration.

se-
coaled this amendment in a brief but manly and elo-
quent speech, during which he was warmly cheered.
He was followed by William Wrixon Becher, Esq. the
Member for Mallow, who spoke in favor of the amend-
ment with convincing arguments. urged in his pecu-
liarly eloquent manner. A discussion of much length
ensued, and at length the call for the question because
almost universal, when one of those scenes took place
which have been so frequent of late in taking the sense
of Count z Meetings. The High Sheriff read the Ad-
dress and amendment, and then put the question—that
the latter do stand part of the former, which was car-
ried by an overwhelming majority of the Mewing. He

Mr.4lAllolf, amidst the tom% announcel that Mr.
liessaith was about to take the Chair, when the appli.use
became immense. Mr. Besmish accordingly was Hied
over to the place which the Sheriff had vacated, but it
was 49aely occupied by the Earls of Kingston and Ban-
try, Ile Lord Bishop of Cork, and some other lientle-
men. ~Some conversation then took place on this spot,
which the noise prevented front being heard, but the
Mee g V motioning to call to Mr. Begmish to take
the ir, the Noble Lords, followed by about twenty
lieu n. withdrew amidst great expressions of dis-
app tion.
M Oentlemea then delivered their sentiments,
and Jonas Stawell, Esq. proposed an address, which
was -tried amidst loud cheers, and had only seven or
eightsices against it. The address after expressing
the l'lty of the County to his Majesty, and the Con-
stituttase. stated their feeling under the grievances at-
tributable to the evil and injudicious counsels of de•
girlie% and inefficient Ministers ;---and prayed his
Majesty for the disnsissal of those Ministers, a change
oi of sures, a redress of grievances, and a speedy re-
st 'a of Constitutional liberties and rights.
e presentation of the Address was then, by an
unissinsons vote, confided to the Duke of Devonshire
and William Wrixon Becher, Esq.; and a Committee
appuintr to soperintend its management in the mean
time, vote of strong censure was also passed upon
the Nigh Sheriff fur his conduct in refusing to ascer- 1
tails the sense of the Meeting, and preventing several
Freeholders from delivering their sentiments; and
then A. O. Creagh, Esq. having been called to the
Clmir,,thanks were voted to Mr. Beamish, for his
manly, instructive. and independent conduct in the
Chair. The Meeting then broke np.
