be nensmitted. Under the circumstances In which
the 'vestry is at present, It might he expected that the
laSsiewners would abstain from every unnecessary act
irritation, and it is with feeings we cannot express,
that we read a ropy of the following letter to the
Editor of The Carlow: Morning Pest :

"'metre is part of an estate, lying between Gores-
Ware and tiraignamsna, lost ont *fleas', by means of
life dropping, which hi. been in possession of the tenants'
feeefstbers • and the same day
.that the lease was ex-
plred, tbe landlord, who resides in this county, took pro-
ceedings against the old inhabitants of Eden, to for to
the road sheet forty families, at this season of the fear,
without knowing whither to go, or what to do ; and
thong% offering three times the rent that they formerly
paid, all was of no use, go they should; then seeing no
other alternative butt force, and roused by the evades
exercised against them, they are determined to lose their
lire% where their forefathers drew their breath. Being
assisted by their Weds and the doontry, they •are now
nesembling seder sews; the landlord being obstinate,
which ebovid net be these times, and the tenants drives
to a state of desperation, will, I am afraid, be fatal to the
interests of this Industrious peaceable country, as the
pimple are much annoyed by such litoeeedingsat mean.
It is to be hoped, that it will not be the means of Wag-
ing Peelersoetbe Army Soto the country; if it be, we
know who is in fault."

By the foreign mails which have eons to baud,
we have received a variety of interesting intelligence.,
Nothing fresh has arrived respecting the affairs of
Rusts and, tbi Porte, except tl•at the Greek and other
(elitism kr Bessarabia had received orders to kayo
abet prelim speedily, tad remove into the iaterinr
of the Russian Empire, and that the late Hospodar of
Moldavia had beta commanded to leave it altogether.
Die meows front Greece are highly favourable.---1
According to letters from Leghorn, a National Govern-
ment has at last been established in the Pelopoonesos.l
Each village chooses one or two electors, who choose 1
ethers, to form the Government of each district ; and
the Elders of each district nominate time Ephori to
constitute the principal Government. Attica and
'Andes having brio restored to liberty, Greece has
been divided into eastern and western. The capital
of eastern Greece is Salons, and that of western
Greece, Uracori. These two provinces bare elected
Deputies, who will repair with blavocoro,to to the
National Congress at Argos, accompanied by those of
the Sanwa, aid by two Deputies of the Alb allies,
Tacri Avui and the nephew of the Aga Venter The
brave Parginotes, who have been expelled from the
lonian Islands, have taken Chetica and Linder, and
cot off the communication by sea with P , which
is in t bad condition.

Agreeably to the intimation announced in a■ extract
of a letter from Lisbon, inserted in our paper of Toes•
day, great rejoicings took place on the 26th ult., the
anniversary of the meeting of the Oeoeral and Extra-
ordinary Cortes, to commemorate that auspicious day,
on which the Portuguese nation recovered the exercise
of those rights of which they had been dispossessed
for ages. The day was ushered in with discharges of
artillery from the forts and shipping, and at nine in
the morning a review took place in the square of the
Roscio, at which the King was present. The con-
conrse was immeoae, and a Court was afterwards held
at the Palace of !Imposts, where the King received
the compliments of a Deputation from the Cortes and
the corps diplowitives. In the esening the King
went to the theatre of San Carlos, attended by the
Infante!, D. Miguel and D. Sebastian, and afterwards
to the ball given on the eeresion.—A reform in the
charter of the Oporto Wine Company was under the
discussion of the Cortes, to which a new project bad
been proposed, the principal articles of which had
already been approved of. The battalion of the Al-
regiment had arrived from Pernambuco, con
by the Venus frigate. From the 2d to the
of January, 134 persoo■ subscribed for shares In

souse debate, this addition made by the Ooserti-
went, was referred to the Committee. Respect-
ing the report of the Commission on the project
of law on the Liberty of the Press, the Right of
Petition, and the Regulation of Popular Societies,
some further particulars have transpired. Oa the int
point, the report proposes some modilleatioes, which
will not affect the fundamental principle of the Free-
dom of the Press, tier the bases of the law of October,
18241. As to the Right of Petition, the cemselmOon
receplzes it a. incontestable ; bet requires it to be
so restrained as not to defame private individuals, or

Ore of the French papers states that a new conspiracy
had been discovered at Nantes, where machinations
bad been employed to corrupt the fidelity of the 13i6
Regiment of the Line. It is added, that the plot had
been frustrated by the vigilance and firmness of Lieu-.
benant-general the Corot d'Espinois ; that three of-
ficers had been arrested, and several sob•otheers had 11
absconded.—The cause peudinA between bf. Jacqual

Bonaparte, in which he desires M. Lafiste to pay into
their hands, six months after his decease, the sum of
fire millions deposited with him in the month July,
1815, at the time of his departure for St. Helena. was
yesterday called on before the First Chamber of the
Tribunal of the First Instance. M. Lafitte declared
that be could not pay over the money except in the
presence of the guardians of Busaparle's heir, or shun
duly authorized; bat is the mean time he offered to
place the money in the chest of the office for deposits.
A serious difficulty also arose from the claim of inter-
est for fire years and a half, at the rate of 5 per cent.
M. Lafitte contended that no stipulation had bees
made as to that point at the time the 6►e millions,
were remitted to him; and that, considering them a.
• livered trust, he had made no use whatever of the
money. M. Dupin was ready to state the ease o• be-
half of the plaintiffs; bat on account of the somber
of closes already commenced, and the pressure of ha-
dans before the Court, the trial was deferred to the
?3d of this month.

-rill Ultra Is le the same unfortunate situation as
his employers. Lue4 is reaming desperately against
him. He adds, however, to the weight of his misfor-
tunes, by his incredibly rash assertions. In his paper
of this day, he says—the tendency of the " Opposition
speeches is to disunite the people." But the Oppo-
sition (by which phrase be means to denote all the
friends of freedom) are tot such fools. The people
are their strength ; and, to divide the people, is to
divide and destroy their strength. The Opposition
labour to unite the people in one sentiment of love
for the cause of liberty and of hatred for their op-
pressors; and, in these endeavours, they have been
eminently successful of late. The agrieeltaral
Meetings have proclaimed their success ; aid t►at
is one reason for the violent anger of the Ultra
against those meetings. With a view to this har-
mony of all ranks and classes in the prose-
cu:ion of the public good, we looked at the
WESTMINSTER MINTING of Wednesday last with
peculiar complacency. We wish to i.e every c;ty and
tow• assemble in like manner, to declare their griev-
ances, and the distress of their brethren, the Agricul-
turists, and pray for an effectual remedy. Now when
the landowners, and their tenantry have opened their

CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. I3.—We had a good supply
of Wheat and Barley fresh in this morning from Sat-
folk, and prime samples of each sold at Monday's prices;
but there was scarcely any demand for the inferior qua-,
Mies, of which descnption a considerable quantity re- •
mains on hand.—The Oat trade was very Leavy, and dui'
ordinary samples were offered at an abatement of 13. per
racer ; but line fresh Corn obtained Monday's quota-
tmn.—W bite and grey Per are rather cheaper. [bother
articles there is no alteration.
