pl n itom must vanish befo►e the light of reason, and.
tie itelnsion will become universally evide►►t, when,
perhaps, too late fer the application of a 'remedy.—
ji Ministers, in fact, were under the influence and
controul of BONAPARTE himself, hew could they
wore ehrtnally aid his destructive designs against us
than by sowing the seeds of discontent throughout
Fn;land, and by completely disuniting the affections
of all Ireland; for let it be remembered, that Catho.
iic Emancipation is a measure as anxiously looked
for by the generality of the Protestants of Ireland,
as by the Catholics themselves.

A Heligoland Mail has just arrived, which brings
the following:-.-
" HELIGOLAND, APRIL 15.

" We have not for iconsiderable time been so
long without any intelligence from the Continent.
Some boats, which left this Island about a fortnight
ago, are not returned, and it is supposed must have
been captured. The increased vigilance, which has
been the cause of so rigorous a prohibition of the in..
tercourse with this place, proceeds from the wish of
the French Government to conceal the movements
made by those troops to the North. We are without
any lo al news."

American Papers have reached us to the 4th March,
one day later than those brought by the Armala to
Liverpool, but they do not add much to the Weill,
genre which we received by that conveyance. We
have given some extracts in our preceding columns.

ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
MORE RIOTS:
CARLISLE, Aram 18.

We are sorry to state, that the perturbation of the
popular mind, excited by forestallers, &c. buying
up provisions, has not subsided. During the whole
week, carts have been conveing grain, and other
articles of provisions, to be shipped; but such was
the dread of popular feeling, that they were com-
pelled to make a circuit by Rockliff, and to cross
the river. On Monday evening, the premises of Den-
ton-mill, near this city, were assailed, in consequence
of a suspicion that the miller had been buying grain
for exportation. Several windows were brokrti.—
In the mean time, the indignation of the mob, which
had been prevented from openly exhibiting itself, nas
been indicated by more wary operations; the effects
of which were apparent on Thursday night. On
that night, persons assembled from several parts of
Carlisle) to the appointed place of rendezvous, armed
with various offensive weapons. They proceeded
thence to a place where a vessel was lying some dis-
tance below Port Carlisle, loaded with bacon, cheese,
and flour,—we understand, on the account of Messrs.
Powrzes, of this city.' The vessel was instantly
boarded, and, in a very short space of time, the mob
&wed the eatgo, tildt 46 dividing the spoil," car-
ried off the whole.

BARNSLEY. April 16.
On Wednesday (the market day) at Barnsley, a
disposition to riot manifested itself; the cause of
complaint alleged, was the high price of provisions,
particulirly pittatoes. In consequence of an express
sent to G. W. WENTWORTH, Esq. the Magistrate,
ho, knowing that the Wakefield Royal Volunteers
were that day on duty, sent orders to them and the
Wakefield troop of Yeomanry Cavalry to prepare
Limediately to set out for Barnsley. The latter
commenced their march with all expedition, but were
:net on the road by a messenger, informing them that
the civil power alone had succeded in allaying the tu-
mult. They immediately returned, and stopped the
infantry, just ready to commence their march.
The Dublin Patriot of Tuesday last contains the
following extract of a letter from Lanesborough, in
the county of Longford, announcing a recent riot in
that town :

" I am sure you will be happy to heir that
the Threshers got a good dressing, on Friday night,
iu Lanesborough : tbey came into the town and were
breaking open the houses and stores. Mr. Baum,
that commands the Hertford Militia quartered here,
asked them what they wanted ? on which they fired
at him. He then called up the men, and returned
the fire with great effect. Therewere four killed
and a vast number wounded. When the account
came off yesterday, Capt. Wx. Davras cad a party
of the Laneshorough corps were after them, and bad
taken a number of prisoners."

WATERFORD, Aran, 15.
The price of potatoes in oar market yesterday ves Is. 6d. per
stone. In the coarse of the day, a number of people went down
to l'amage and took possession of two sloops laden with that no-
reivary article, which had pot into this harbour on their voya,„,..e
liars Clonakilty to a market. While we were prelMring fur
press one of them passed our windows in possession of the peo-
ple, who were cheered by numbers on shore. The other soon
followed her in equal triumph. With the exception of this com-
pulsory change of market, no symptom of outrage has appeared.
We understoad that Joue Dim, Esq. our active and ex-
emplary Chief Magistrate armed 25 guineas premium to the
Captain of each vessel to induce them to befog their potatoes
quietly to our market. The first vessel is now moored at the
It.rket-home, and is in possession of the peace officers. The
Mayor, instantly on her arrival, went on board, and no danger
is to apprehended to the property. The Magistrates, we under.
stand, have hargained for the whole, which will this day be sold
nut to the people. The Captains, in addition to the purchase
money, are to be paid a bounty of 255. per ton, of which 20s. are
Snowed by the Committee of Merchants, and Si. by the Carr'
ration.

A spirit of turbulence unfortunately continues at
Stm:kport :—A letter, dated on Thursday evening,
says, they had been tolerably quiet all day, but had
received alarming acoounts from the country. The
weavers still assembled in great numbers, and pro-
ceeded iu bodies to the houses of gentlemen and
fanners, from Whom they extorted money and
victuals. Many mirried arms openly. Dr. Mticlim.'s
