lish ships have entered the port i they ban on
board 500,000 piastres, and they are consigned to !AL
Berlin, agent of the house of Rothschild. The destina-
tion of the money is not known, but it is supposed to be
for the disbursements of the army of the Faith.
There have been issued three orders of the day. The

first aneotioces to the soldiers the arrival of the Prince,

and his satisfaction at the good discipline of the army.
The Prince says also, that he shall always be at the head
of the troops, and that be will lead them to the field of
honour. The second (of the Ist of April), says, the.head
quarters of the first corps under Marshal Oddinot are
going to be removed to Sorogne, and that the Prince
will move his in a few days to St. Jean de Lus. Lastly,
(the third) that a column of Spanish prisoners taken by
the Royalist troops, is going to enter France by St.
Jean Pied-de-port, and to be sent to Toulouse.--
These, their orders of the day, are countersigned
by Guilleminot, Major-Oeneral ; showing, on one band,
that hostilities have eorommenced ; on the other

that the Prince recognises only general Guilleminot
as Major-General; another proof of the high fa-
vour which he honours this General, is the flattering
reception be gave him at the review; after speaking,
to him two different times, be shook hands with him
as if be had been his equal. This review took place
on the 2d at two o'clock. General Molitor commanded.

Generals Dambrurreac, Bordesant, &c., and also Quesada,
accompanied the Prince. The Marshal Duke of Bellunu
did not go out; the Prince of Hobe°lobe was not in
uniform.

Stoca-Excitaner. TwaLva o'Crecc —A great bustle
took place this morning. In consequence of the public having
been misled by a morning paper of yesterday, which quoted
the French Fonds N. 75. On an arrival this morning from
' the French capital, it appears that the French price was
only 80.20 c. Consols opened this morning at 74i 75, and
were afterwards 741 to 75. They are now doing at 751.—
We do not bear of any defaulter yesterday. Spanish Bonds
opened at *B, and are now doing at 281, with a brisk market.
Colombian are something more than their closing price of
yesterday. They are now et mi.

By the arrival ofa Dutch Mail since our last, we have
received the following intelligence :
HARLEM, APRIL 7.—Accounts from Batavia of the
23d of November mention, that his Excellency the Go-
vernor-General and Baroness Van de Capellen returned to
that city on the sth, from hia tour through the Island of
Java. On his tour his Excellency found' that population
end cultivation increased ; that thesecurity of persons and
property was maintained, and that tranquillity and satis-
faction prevail : that the Javanese becoming better ac-
quainted with the intentions of the Government, begin to
promote the new regulations ; as an instance of which
the Vaccine may be mentioned, which is now practised by
the Islanders themselves. A second eruption of Galong
Goening, which took place on the evening of the 12th of
October, has done almost as much injury as that on the
Bth. The plain of Singaparna is covered with mud mixed
with burning sulphur; and it is said that twenty kern-
pongs have been destroyed, and a thousand persons I
killed.
On the 11th of this month the President of Preang re-
turned to Tanjore from his survey of districts laid waste
by the eruption, having first done what was necessary to
maintain order and provide for the inhabitants who
have escaped, and for the snit. By the most accurate
estimate that can be made, the two eruptions have laid
waste in the different districts 124 kampongs, and 3083
persons have perished. Besides the great numbers of
cattle that have been killed, the damage done to the
rice is very considerable; it is estimated at 8300 tjaius,
of 1000 katges. of 1250 pounds. The number of coffee
trees destroyed is about 1,668,000. The accounts re-
specting the sick are favourable; they amount to ninety-
seven in all.
BATAVIA. Nov. 23.—Captain de Man, commanding
his Majesty's frigate Melampus, has attacked and de-
stroyed the resort of the pirates on Tontoly, not far from
Macassar; 150 armed proas were burnt on the occasion;
the guns which were unserviceable were thrown into
the water, and nineteen brass cannon were brought to
Macassar.
Mr. Turner, of tbe Foreign Office, arrived in town on
Saturday morning, on his return from his special mission
to Madrid. MO . returned by Lisbon, and brought de-
spatches from Sir Wm. A'Coart and Mr. IVard.
The Frankfort papers of the 3d instant observe, that
public opinion in Germany is so adverse to the war with
Spain, that the Governments take care to contradict the
reports that are in circulation on the eventful participa-
tion of the German confederation in the struggles.
A small naval promotion has taken place, the following
Post Captains of 1797 have been made Rear Admirals of
the blue. The Hon. Sir Chas. Paget, Capt. It. Williams,
and Capt. Richard Worsley.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India House, when the new Directors elected on Wednes-
day last, viz. Wan. Stanley Clarke, Esq., J. Iluddleston,
Esq., Rich. Chicheley Plowilen, Esq., Geo. itaikes, Esq.
O. Abercrombie Robinson, Esq., J. Thornhill, Esq. took
the oaths and their seats. Wm. Wigram and Wm. Astell,
Esqrs. were chosen Chairman and Deputy Chairman for
the year.
DRURT-LANE THRATRIL—DIBDIN'S justly celebrated
Opera of The Cabinet, was revived last night at this
Theatre, with the powerful support of BRAMAN in Prince
Orlando, Miss STIPIIRNS in Florraa, Miss FORD in Con.
Dow Tort in Peter, and fistula in Whinseiculo.
The music of this Opera, the joint composition of Messrs.
BRAHAM and Reeves, is of so delightful a character,
that it is difficult to conceive how so many years have
been allowed to elapse, without its being performed.
Most of the pieces which ft contains are such favourites,
that even when their symphonies were played, the au-
dience, rejoicing at the approach of their old friends,
burst out into tumults of applause. Thus it happened
when the first introductory note of BRAIIAM'S famous
Polacca was heard, and the encore which the air itself
received, was one of the moat rapturous that we have
ever witnessed. Never did littanam display a finer voice
or greater powers of execution and taste. Miss FORD
was eminently successfal in her execution of all the airs
allotted to her part; and DOWTON, HARLEY, and the
other performers, contributed to the excellence of their
acting to the delight of a most crowded audience, and
this revived favourite promises to amply repay the trou-
ble of its regeneration.
It will be recollected by some of our readers,that a state-
ment appeared a few days ago, in the daily papers, of an
examination upon a charge of assault in which Mrs. Chat-
terly's name was introduced io a manner calculated to affect
that lady's reputation. We are authorised to say, from the
most respectable authority, that the insinuations are totally
unfounded ;. Ind that many of the particulars tending to
degrade Mr. Christmas, are equally groundless. A num-
ber of documents have been put into our hands, which show
that this lady and gentleman are grossly calumniated In the
Police report referred to ; but we forbear to publish them,
hoping that this declaration of the impression made on our
mind by the perusal of them, will answer the purpose for
which they have been transmitted to us.
The fair of Rathkesle wail not known these forty years
to exhibit such a feature of depression and distress—it
was perfectly consonant to last Tuesday's fair of Bailin-
gatT , y where it is thought 501, was not laid out.—(Dub-
lin Morning Pest, April 9.)

PHO36 S DUMAN MINING POST OP TUESDAY.)
Yest
erday the soi-elisant Build of Merclinnts held their
Quarterly Assembly, and by the proceedings of the day
fully, supported their claim to that ridicule with which
the ['Odic have long been accustomed to regard them.
A Resolution passed with acclamation, in which
their Representatives in the Common. Council were
requested not to support any candidate for the offices of
Lord Mayor or Shenffs, who should refuse to sign a
promise of giving the " Glorious and Immortal Memory."
qptain Y'ITZSIIIIII0)111 opposed the Resolution, con-
ceiving such a proposition would be so insult to any
candidate professing to be a gentleman.
After considerable turbulence, clamour, and gentle-
manly vociferation, the Merchants adjourned.
Towards the close of the proceedings a scene of tu-
mult and uproar occurred, which astonished even those
who were accustomed to the debates of the guild of
Merchants. It was occasioned by a Lieutenant Kearns,
a free Merchant, banding to Mr. Ness some placard, or
slip of paper, in which were offensive allusions to that
Gentleman, which caused a• persooal conflict between
him and. Mr. Kearns.
The Williamites, shocked at the want of decorumin
Mr. Ness, immediately formed a Committee to deliberate
on his expulsion.
SIR HARCOURT Lace—earsgas CORPUS--RRY.
JAMBS P. KlPlrlr.
(From the Dublin Morning Peet of Wednesday.)
It seems that the Rev. James P. Keouyezpressed wine
scruples touching certain Catholic tenets, and intimated
(if we are not misinformed) some wandering desires of
bringing to the Established Church his learning, his
virtues, and his devotions. It was, however, a cue of
doubt, and the Reverend Gentleman relapsed once more
into the errors of Popery. , His Spiritual Advisers fixed
his wavering mind, and he retired to the country to
search the Scriptures, and establish his Faith. This, we
believe, is the short, but true, account of the matter. It
occurred to Sir Harcourt Lees, however, that the Rev.
Gentleman was held in durance—that his life was threat-
ened by the Jesuits—and that, in fact, he was confined
in the chambers of the Inquisition. The constitutional
mind of the Reverend Baronet took fire, and he actually
busied himself in suing out a writ of Habeas Corpus !
Every one at all acquainted with the circumstance, or
with the Catholic Priesthood, knew that Sir Harcourt
Lees seized upon Kenny, as a topic of vilification against
the Catholics of Ireland. Kenny never was, sod never
could be In eonfioement. This every well informed man
knows to be the case—lint there are many, who are not
informed, and for their edification we subjoin a. letter
from the Clergyman in question, addressed to the Edi-
tor of an Ultra Journal in Cork. The Constitution:—
CORK, APRIL 5, 1833.
" SlR,—Having seen a paragraph in your paper of the
3d inst. taken from the London Morning Chronicle,
stating that the Rev. Patrick Kenny, was forced from
Clongowes College in October last, fills me with no small
surprise. I wish to inform the Editor of the London
paper, through the medium of your's, that the act of my
going there was very voluntary. As to the story of my
forcible confinement in Cork, It is a falsehood too ridica•
louts to notice.
" Your being so kind as to give this declaration of
mine a place in your columns, you will oblige
" JAMES PAT. KENNY."

CORK, APRIL 4.—On Saturday night last, a large
thatched house and barn, near Glanworth, the property
of Michael Roberts, Esq. of Ki'money, were set on fire
and totally consumed. The only reason to which this
can be attributed was, that Oentlowan being obliged to
pnt the occupying tenant out of possession, on the 25th
of March, after forgiving him two years' rent, amount
124/. and also a sum of 71.105. to quiet possession, rather
than proceed by ejectment.
ltis rumoured that Martial Law is to be proclaimed
immediately in the coon!), Tipperary,
CoUNTT CLARK—The intended application to place the
Baronies of Clonderlaw and Islands, county of Clare,
under the Insurrection Act, was adjourned at the meet-
ing of Magistrates on Thursday to Monday se'nnight.—
The inhabitants of Ennis are adverse to being placed
within the pale of this Act, as their town and neighbour-
hood is enjoying uninterrupted tranquillity.
At two o'clock oa Wednesday morning whilst Captain
Dames, and a party of Police, from Hospital, were pa-
trolling, they espied a fire near Elton, in this County,
which they immediately approached, and ascertained to
be an extensive dairy of Mr. O'Brien, of Knocklong.
Captain Dumas detained twelve men, whom he found
out in the vicinity. Eleven having duly accounted for
themselves, were Discharged; the twelfth, named Patrick
M'Cormack, is sent into the County WO, and will be
tried under the Insurrection Act.

An attempt was made on Tuesday night last, by some
incendiary, to set fire to a house in Newcastle, which,
fortunately, had beer discovered by a party of the Ri-
fles, before the fire made much progress. Threatening
notices have been fixed up in different places this week,
signifying not to pay Tithes, or Rent, and declaring
instant death to any person who may occupy another
person's farm.
Last Sunday night, a party attacked a house at Clo-
gher, in Kilnemana Barony, County Tipperary, the
property of Mr. Doherty, of Rallydinid. They broke
the windows and turned off the inmates, working people
employed by Mr. Doherty, and told them they bad
a good escape of being treated like the Sheas, bet that
they came from a good county, and might pass free fur
this turn.
