fresh details of oinks,that hi:ie. coareetated '
-the disturbed districts, of which the most pretninent'
is theitturder of Major. Collis; a Magistrate, in his
even house, which is situate withiu a utile • and a half
of Tralee..
In another part of our paper, we insert from The
Limerick Chronicle, the account of. this murder. It
would-fippear from the folio wingletter, which reached
tie yesterday, that this atrocious crime was.perpetrated
by robbers, and wholly unconnected with the disturb-
ances which agitate other parts "of the country :
" Tralee, Saturday, Nov. 24, 1821.
"Mv Dean--, I have to communicate to yon the
melancholy fate of Major Collis, who was murdered
and robbed yesterdaymorning, about three o'clock, by
three or four ruffians, tivho enteretl•throu:o one of the
windows neat the ball-door; there were three or four
wore outside in the laa,n. They lit two candles, and
strewed hay on the stairs. One f..110w with the candle,
went to the maid servants, and cautioned•them, upon
pain of death, not to stir from their beds. Three en-
tered the Major's room, after breaking the door with a
sledge; they immediately required the keys of his desk
and chest of drawers. Mrs. Collis was about to get
them the keys, when the Major got out of bed and
took the poker, and waking a stroke at one of them,
he was knocked down with time butt end of a carbine:
which fractured his skull, and when down a shot was
fired at him, by which he received about sixteen slugs,

two o'clock yesterday, when he died. They proceeded

mostly in silver. If he had not got out of betl, it is
very probable they would not have killed him, as thry
desired him to stay where he was, and they would not
molest him. What is very remarkable, they remained
about one hour and a half in the parlour, or below
stairs, supposed to be dividing the money, as they laitl

" I would give you further particulars, but theresis
hardly.s.doubt, that some persons in the employment
of Poor Collie, were concerned, and there is every hope
of their being in custody, perhaps, before this reaches
you. It is but a melancholy consolation that it is not
connected with Limerick crimes.", ... •.

New York papers arrived this morning, to the 3d

• FROM 91 EXICO. 1
Manifesto addressed by his Excellency ehe Captain-
General to the inhabitants, through the medium of the
Governor of this province.
On 'the evening of this day. I began my march
towards the city of Cordova, with the view of having
therein ao interview with Signor Don Augustin hut.-
bide, Principal Chief of the Imperial Army, upon the
three guarantees. Let us treat therein of the recipro-
cal interests of both Spains. My attachment to the
Americana, the love of my country, the desire which
aninuites me for public good, and the rectitude of
my intention*, l flitter myself, are already well knoiew;
and that the people will rest persuaded on the prieeding
supposition that my voyage is indisprneiblis for the
only' Means of insuring the publiA.jranonillity, and
cementing the felicity of theeek Lams. Before I
so I consider it a debt that.:li now demanded by
the affections I owe to 'the well-daserving Citizens
of. this place, to take leave of them ; for Whichzpur-
pee I address tn3Self to your Excellency,, as
them,'that for my own part, it should islwaye sp-
rat. that in no negociation intweatielt.l.wity enter,
can the legitimate interests of Spahl,be compromised,
that is to say, such as can iiilleitned without in-
terfering With those wti.C.ls nature has painted out
to every Man; and granting the rights of man to
u!iited societies that a secure guarantee of the persons
anti fortunes or the Europeans established in New Spain
is one of the most Barred objects which I have intended
to sustain, which, according to the correspondence
with the said Chief, he appears disposed to coincide
1.101141i5. faztJli they, Secnetiral and jum4.
be guaranteed by American honour, that

that 1

there is nothing to fear for their pentons .or may own,
as lid! for their interest, or that there should be done
thesligliest act against my character and representa-
tion; that I warn them as one in authority, and intreat
them, as a friend, to dismiss ill-grounded fear and re-
Fors, scattered by restless spirits and movers of evil ;
that they make every effort to preserve the public tran-
imility and respect the Authorities; that they repose
c ettiitence in their Chiefs; and if any of them should
doubt, from some irremediable fatality. I take upon
myself, to convince them, that I have had much expe.
rienee, and do not yield to them in sincere good wishes;
ander which idea, the alterations which have not been
made, need not be discussed, because they are not in
question. I: is net given to every one to have an in-
timate knowledge of public affairs. If it were possible
that an evening parry, could investigate matters, like a
Can di, the measures of Government would seldom be
fond to merit distrust or criticism.
To you Seignor, Governor, I now particularly confide,
tocualle known to the public the contents of this letter,
Distributing on your part that what is therein ex.
pressed may have a proper effect. The wan; of time
does not allow me to address myself directly to those
inhabitants, nor officiate with the corporate bodies or
authorities.' Be pleased. Sir, to communicate this to
Inch as may be proper, assuring them all of my grati-
tude, fat the kind reception I have met with among
them, and that 1 trust I shall have it in my power to
recompense their hospitality, by more interesting
services.
Of the Chiefs, Officers, and Public Functionaries
Who have accompanied me from Europe, few follow
me. The most of them remain in this place. I
ought to acquaint you, Sir, that they are all per-
ms selected by myself, and that they deserve my
testience. Under this impression, those. who do
sot march to-day on account of their health, ire
let! more particularly fecornmended to youi-iExcel-
itaty, that a speedy march may be made by them in
health, and by the sick as fast as they recover, paying
"!trose.their just dues ; taking into considatation
that this is my order, that it is my recommendation, and
th4t they are remarkable for their good qualities, their
escellent deserts, and, in consideration of their want
4( MIMS, occasioned by the expenses of the' voyage,
trhich should be attended to, and for which they shall
he reimbursed. God preserve your Excellency many
