•TRAGES --The outrages for which the County of
Limerick has been of late distingnialsed, have recently
r.sseh enerest,ed. Within a week the houses of more
than a tloz is gentlemen have been attacked by ban-
ditti for tire arms. A meeting of the County Magis-
tiates has been held to devise measures for suppressing
these outrages, and an order has been sent fur 300 of
Visa 40th Regiment, to occupy certain stations in the
Comity. These outrages appear to prevail the most
ea the estates of Lord Courtessay, and to have
arisen from disputes between the agents and the te-
Lawry of those lands. In consequence of this, tit°
or three gentlemen have been deputed by Lord Courte-
nav's trustees to investigate the conduct of his Lord-
ship's agent, and from the congratulations they received
fro n the tenantry on their arrival at Newcastle, it was
hoped they teottitl succeed in tranquilizing the country.
On Saturday se'nnigitt two factions met at the races
at Newesstle, to settle same of their differences, and
they els.sse the use of fire arms for that purpose, in pre-
ference to the native weapon. Many shuts were in-
terchanged, and the civil and military authorities in-
terfered. Their interference was resisted, and the
Magistrates and Alilitary were exposed to much dan-
ger. One of the Dragoons' horses received 4 hall in
the belly and died the next day. Three of the rioters
were arrested and conveyed to gaol, and informations,
which are capital. have been talteit by the Mayor
against tbeat. ahe two men who bad been found
guilty of manslaughter in the adray at Bandon, on
• the 2d of July, when one man was killed, and a woman
far advanced in pregnaecy, shot through the heart,
in consequence of the parade of the Orangetnen, were
on the ath instant, brought to the bar at the Cork
Assizes, to receive judgment. After an impressive
address from Baron Smith, the prisoners were sett•
traced to be burned in tits band, to be imprisoned 12
usout:ss, and to give security to keep the peace for 7
years, esch of themselves in 1001., and two sureties
fur each in MIL a piece.
Lord Viscount Dual°, son of the Earl of Clancarty,
and Lord Jetties Henry Fitzroy, son of the Duke of
Grafton, have entered themselves as scholars at the
University of Cambridge, the former of St. John's Col-
lege, and the latter of Trinity College.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

This being Settling Day at the Stock Exchange, the
principal business among the Brokers is settling their
accounts. The different fluctuations during the pre-
sent Account is as follons :—The Account opened at
7611. In consequence of an idea of a • war between
Russia and Turkey, the Funds experienced a depres-
sion down to 75;. Since tat apprehension subsided,
they have, without any re-;:ction, got up gvadually 24
per Cent, at which price the present Account is closed
being 751 for Money. Up to the present hour no
defrulters have bteu declared.

Paris papers have arrived this looming to the 14th
inst. containing an article from Odessa very different
in its tenor flung do se which have tome under that
desctipti ,n for a considerable time past. It is said,
in what is termed a private Liter, that it is intimated
from Petersburg, under date of the 4th inst, " that
the Emperor has charged the Count Cape rElstlia to
communicate to all the Earopean Powers the eotot.n:s
of the last notes exchanged between Russia and the
Porte. lie has declared to die Courts of London and
Vienna, that he could not view the state of Turkey
(which they had painted as entirely tranqaii) as suf.
ficently consolidated for him to re-establish his former
amicable relations with the Porte. The Emperor fur-
ther declares, that he has not changed his pacific sen-
timents manifested at Laybach, and that he has
answered in this sense to the notes of the Porto•
directed against Baron de Strogotioff, hoping, ai-
ways that the Sultan would satisfy his just demands.
But, at the same time, the Emperor refuses the uu•di-
ation offered by the Courts of Austria and I.,Thgland,
or that of any other Power, upon the same principle
which induced him to abandon the re-establist emit
of tranquillity in Italy to Austria alone. If fresh
persecutions he waged against the Christians, the Em-
peror will find himself compelled provisionally t., oc-
cupy Moldavia and Wallachia with his troops.—This
anstt•e•r of the Emperor has caused f,•reat satisfaction
here ; it flatters the national pride, which was hurt by

the idea that the consent of foreign Courts war, necessary
for undertaking a war. But there is litt I!, probability of
the advance of cur troops, because, since Ibis (ivelaration,
fresh negociations have been entered ith the
Porte." An article from Petersburg of the 19th Sept.,
states, that the Emperor would set off on the 22d, from
thence to IVitel►sl:, where he would assist at the
autumnal maws:tyres of the regiments of the guatds
cantoned there. There are advises in the French
papers from various quarters, respecting the position and
condition of the Greek and Turkish fleets, and the
state .f Constantinople; but the news is of no import-
' Alice. The capital is said to continue tranquil, hut at
Cyprus assassinations prevail so, that the French Consul
was uneasy on account of his fate, and Salonica was the
theatre of the most revolting atrocities. By accounts
from Spain the yellow fever continues its ravages in
Barcelona, where from 90 to 159 persons are stated to
be its daily victims. On the whole, however, thh cal -
mity appears to be somewhat alleviate.l.—lt is pre-
tended that the revolutionary faction at lad rid is
still very active, but secret, and that at Cadiz
a grand blo►v is preparing. For these reports
we can perceive no grounds except in the Inner,
the arrest of two individuals of the F.in-
tana Club, and in the latter an address f:•ont some of
the inhabitants to the Cortes, in which the King and
Prince Carlos arc alluded to in terms of incivility.

Extract of a letter from St. Ilartholomews, Ang.
2.—This place being a ;peat rendezvous for privateers,
and a depot for th-ic plunder, several American vessels
have been lately sold here to residents of this island,
and, of course, incapacitated from holding the papers.
Nevertheless these vessels. wear thee flag, and it is pro-
bable have the papers also, but as the Governor (from
motives best known to himself), will not let any one
examine the registers, I cahnot speak to this latter
circumstance with certainty. A Consul is much want-
ed to settle disputes, and cause justice to be done
to VJ ri..us seamen, who are daily thrown on
shore destitute, or deprivet', of at least one half of
the allowance which by law they are eotitled to ; for
the Governor decides every thing here, and of course,
will not displease the prise agents. Indeed the Gover-
nor's interest, and that of the agents, are so linked
together that it is morally impossible to obtain jus-
tice. In the treaty with Sweden it is clearly stipu-
lated, that American vessels in this port shall nut
be subject to any other or higher charges than Swedes.

TES'

Now I find that if an Amcriosn should dispose
his vessel to a Swede, or any one else in
island, he is compelled to pay .a limier tax
5 per cent. to the Colonial Txxisozpz,
