&la 717,--o—d-riell of the proceedings, we'
refer oar readers to the %counts we have extracted!
from 718 De44* firma's' Post. :After • perusing
41mob arils occasion will remain Siirlifysuggestion of
ars, to promote those sensations which must arise on
the esstempistime of the scene described. Amidst the
.confasioa that must have necessarily ensued, and the
,spitiiad indignation that must have been roused in
•wattn and Irish patriotic hearts, it is happy and won-
derful that the accounts were closed without record-
tag instanees of rosiness'e that brought on scenes of
blood, tad made the streets of Dublin like St.
Ireice's4seld.at Manchester. Partakers as every manly
mime "asset fail to be of the lively feelings of resent-
sent whirls must have animated every independent
timed as the occasion, it is still matter of congratula-
tion to as end to them, that the proceedings on the
part a $l. assertors of their rights were closed in peace
and is triumph, that the aims of the servile herd were
defeated, and the objects of the friends of constitution-
al itbatty accomplished and crowned with success.

Butrset of a letter from Jamaica, Nov. 13 :
By the Perthshire which arrived here (tom Sava-
sills, we have received various accounts of the rela-
tive iltuations of the contending parties in New
Omuta by sea. A short time since, the Spaniards
was completely masters of the Independents. The
Ceres corvette sailed out of Carthegena in face of the
whole blockading squadron, which could not touch
her ; and Admiral linos was obliged to run into
Sava:Mit', where they weic apprehensive of being
attacked by the tipanish ships, which carried abundance
of provisions into Cartlicget,a. Other accounts to the
michile of Oetober, witidiuc hare just received, repre-
s:•u• that things have gather a favourable turn fur the
Independents. The whole force in Carthegetia only

eossists of 660 men. They have, however, abundaece
of provisions. BIoNTILLo has received a reinforcement,
.41 now cloftely blockades Carthegena. A vessel,
wttb 150 Spanish soldiers on board, rose on their of-
ficers, took the ship, and aft. rwgrds joined the Inde-
pendents. They are said to be excellent trnni s ; 10,
of them being Eiropeans.

A rumour is in circulation that the foreigners now
wi London on the part of the Queen are preparing for
t weir de,tartnre. I fnot prevented by the severity of
the weather, Madame Vassili, it is said, goes :may in
the coarse of the weel: Countess Oldi, and several
num...will follow in the course of the week ensuing.
.A few only trill remain as visitors ti her Majesty for
stone time longer. In case this report is confirmed,
and we can percdive no reason to doubt it, it will
• afioril conrlusive et idence that no further proceedings
against her Majesty are expected by her legal advisers.
It is understood that his Majesty will not return
from Brighton to Carlton Liao., before the 2eth in.
s•ant, after which a Privy Council will be held, and
t.e Royal Speech to both !louses of Parliament, on
the °pectins of the sessious, liken into consideration.
Duntio, Dec. 30.—1 t hi confidently reported that
Mr. Peel has given a rategorical refusal to the pro-
positions which have been made to him relative to a
place in the Cabinet. There are two reasons which have
been assigned for this determination on his part ; the
firo that he would not act ender Lord Castlereagh ;
the second. that lie found Ministers determined to fol-
low up the business of the Queen, by tom* ulterior
nw,asure. in which he was resolved not to embark.
Ot the two notions, we really think the first very
little entitled to credit. There is no man who could
feel his title to eminence injured by occnpying a place
which was once filled by the late Lord Melville, and
more recently by a much more splendid man, Mr.
Canning. If he has refused, we take it for granted
that it is on the subject of the Queen he has demurred;
and, if so, the next Session of Parliament will be the
most stormy in the history of England. It is very
probable, if our account from the North of Ireland
be correct, that, before the 23d of ,Lannary, Lord
Castlereagh will be Marquis of Londonderry, his aged
and venerable Parent being in a state that forbids al!
.rational hopes of his recovery. In this event, his
Lordship cannot take his seat, for, perhaps, the first
week of the Session, .as he must vacate the County of
Moen, and get himself returned for an English Bo-
rough. 'llia oe must consider as a most sinister ac-
cident for Ministers, who are in such need for sup-
port. Whit Speaker they will have to support the
Aittlren—e hat Speaker of weight or of eminence, we
are really at a loss to eonjecture.—(Dablin Evening
Poar).

A Meeting to address the King was held at Carrick-
f.rges on the ?3d ult. The Address proposed was of
t'.e oval kind ; and on this occasion, says that
r-spettal)!e Belfast paper, The I, ishmion, the Freemen
f Carrickfergus have shewn themselves worthy of the
privileges they enjoy. After a free and fair discussion
or the points at issue, when the question was called
for, their appeared about 23 in favour of the Address,
and abont 150 against it. The detail of the proceed-
ings %• • ••:ust postpoue till to-morrow.
A loyal address to the King has been sent by the
lAA Lieutenant of Worcestershire, to the High
SlieeilL who has declared his approval of the same,
and forwarded it to the City, fur the purpose of receiv-
ing tigna!urrs, anti no doubt it will be forwarded to
Carlton Palace as the loyal Address of the County of
.WOrcester. The tone of the Address is guarded and
inusderate, the better calculated to entrap the unwary,
aad gist a st.iin of disloyalty on those who refuse to
sirs it. le this measure intended to give splendour
to the Throne, or stability to the Government, thus to
,skulls data halos and corners? Why not call a Coonv
Meeting'?-oh, no! this would not answer the par-
