In our paper of Monday we gave a brief statement
of the ease of t►ree young ladies. rho were
placed by an English gentleman, who was the fa-
tLer of two, and the uncle of one of them, in
a boarding-school at Paris. Advantage, f t appears,
was taken of his ailment. to conceit the young
ladies to the church of Rome, and to make them re-

n mace their duty to their father and guardian. Haring

of Police, in his application fur their return to

the Citatabee of Deputies for redress. This petition

—Phis affair, It is observed, is interesting to
every family. Undoubtedly it is, and it is hoped,
it will produce a proper impression. It is calculated
to skew the dangers of a French education, directed
as it often is, at present, by the must zeal-
ous Ultra Priests. The man who could not
foresee the hazard to which young female minds
were exposed, without the counteracting influence of

reason to be surprised at the consequences that followed-

A letter received yesterday in town by express
states, that the Emperor Alexander, in contemplation
of war with TUI key, bee invited the King of Wurtein-
bor., his brotber-iu•law, to take the command of the
Polhdi army.
It was yesterday reported in the city that a contract
has been made for 10,000 barrels of gunpowder to be
sent to the Mediterranean.

Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 15th ult. concur
in stating that the long expected Russian Tariff is
highly injurious to the commercial interests of this
country. and that a prejudice exists in favour of the
United States of America. The British Anshmeador,
it is said. exerted himself much in endeavouring to
procure a more favourable determination of the Bus.
sin Cabinet with regard to this country. but without
any favourable result. The Tariff itself. was gene-
rally expected by the Russia merchants, would have
been received by the late numerous snails from the
continent, but in this they have been disappointed.
The improvement in the exchange is the only indica-
tion we have of a political nature. the whole of the
letters. being silent upon the subject of peace or war
with the Turks.

p:uses.

tresses of the country, we observe with pleasure, the,

bag, a powder-horn, some flints, and a tarn-screw. all
concealed in a spot resembling a grave, over which sense
human bones were laid. I also beg to say, that this
neighbourhood continues tranquil. I base not heard of
any outrageoince Uorman's murder."
The Magistrates of the county Roscommon met at
Roscommon on Friday last, the High Sheriff in the
Chair, when it was unanimously resolved, that the only
measure which can operate to subdue the spirit of in-
surrection and outrage, is the immediate renewal and
operation of the Insurrection Act. supported by a well
organised police.

This day Daniel Ryan was apprehended and lodged
in jail, by Sir C. Marrett, charged with the murder
of William Welch, of Ballinaeoarty, in the Liberties
of this City, nearly seven years since. He bas been
identified as the person against whom the jury found
a verdict on the inqui vi t inn.
The houses of Denis M'lnery, Mathew Hayes,
Thady Ryan, Thomas Holleran, Widow Hayes, Darby
Ryan. Thomas Hanrahan, and David Cremes. in the
baronies of Coshma and Small County, In this county.
were broken into since Monday last, as were also
several dwellings in the neighbourhood of Kilcullans,
by banditties, who searched for fire-arms, and when
they got none, they insisted on money.and from several
of the inhabitants they took eves the pewter off their
dressers.

Michael Slattery, of Kamilla'', is making some re-
sistance to these ruffians, was beaten in a desperate
manner with the bat end of a musket.

IYilliam Lenaghan, Martin Brennan, and James
M•Nulty, from the neighbourhood of Boyle, were com-
mitted, on Saturday last, to the gaol of Roscommon,
for administering unlawful oaths, and extorting money.

i:ous-ro or KILK;NXT.—On Wednesday a labouring
man was arrested near Pilitown, upon strung suspicion
of having been concerned in some illegal visits that
were made the preceding night in that neighbourhood.
We hear that the country between Callan and Nine-
mile-house is much infested by nocturnal perambula-
tions, attended with gross delinquency.
On Friday, a person was in our office, whose house,
beyond Pilltown, received a second visit the preceding
night for arms. As is too much the mode, he would
not have his name mentioned. This is lamentable pru-
dence. lie says that such visits are no rarities where
he resides.—(lraterforel Mirror.)

There are only eine Provincial Bankers in Ire-
land this year—in 1809 there were forty-three.
We are sorry to learn that the wet weather bas de-
stroyed the potatoes very generally in Ireland, and
Olt great apprehensions. are entertained of famine in
that country. From the hand to month way in
which the wretched population live, when a talamityl
„f this kind occurs,they are absolutely without resource.

STOCK EICHANGE.-It is reported there has been
an arrangemant between the hitherto hostile parties.
and that an amicable understanding was come to on
Tuesday at a dinner party.
One of the tunes of the new chimes at the Royal
exchange is—" There is nae luck about the house."
Not very pleasant to the tenants of the Gresham estate,
nor the frequenters of the 'Change.
There is no truth in the account of the apprehension
of the Navrollice delinquent at Charleston. It is
known that he sailed from this country in the Comet,
Oreswold, which sailed from the Downs on the sth of
November for New York, and there has been no intel-
ligence of her since.

The following extract of a letter from Pernam-
buco, dated June 9. 1821. fdraishes one among a
thousand proofs of the activity and atrocity with
which (in spite of treaties) the Slave Trade is still car-
ried on by foreign states :—" We have lately hail
many arrivals of slaves—three ships last week, and
one this morning. The market is now so overstocked
that the latter is to proceed to Maranham. Two of
the ships have been oat a long time. and the mortality
on board has been immense. One sailed from Angola
with a cargo of 485 slaves, end 180 died. The other
had 360, and about half died. It will be a losing con-
cern for the ships, as the contract is, that they are to
receive about 101. per head for all they land. It is
horrible work. The profits are usually very great.—
An acquaintance of mine, • Portuguese. sometime.
employs his spare cash in speculating in slaves; and
he told me yesterday at dinner, that it had alwaysyleld-
ed him above 100 per cent. profit. One to-day was to
have bee• executed for the murder of his master, mis
tress, and infest child. The Deputies. however, having
been chosen to-day, they begged the fellow might be
reprieved, and he is to be sent to the coast of Africa.
I detest the traffic and those who are employed in it."
