OF IRELAND.

I We have frequently had occasion
to notice the popularity of the Duke Of
| RIcHMoND's administration Of Ireland
With so lenient hand has he held the
reins of government so active has he
been in doing every thing to improve
the condition of the people, TO soften
animosities, and TO suothe discontents /;
SO even has he held the scale of Justice,
and SO happily has he tempered justice
with mercy, that it is now proposed
to repeal some of those Laws which it
was deemed necessary to pass few
years ago. The repeal of two ofthem
was moved yesterday by Mr. sNelles-
ley Pole. One of these is the Irish In
surrection Act: This is to be repealed,
with the exception of the clause rela-
tive to the administering and taking
unlawful oa.hs-which is to form the
subject of new Bill. The second
Act is the Arms Act: This is to be re-
pealed and a new Act introduced.
(" No one," said MIR. w. Pole, scan
doubt that so much of the old Act
should still be In force in Ireland as re-
lates to the registering ofarms, and the
power of searching for them by the
magistrates. But at the time of passing
the old bill, there were strong objections
urged to the powers, then granted to
the magistrates, of searching houses
IN the night, and OF delegating this pow
er to other persons. He conceived
these powers at present unnecessary !;
and proposed, that, in the new Bill, the
magistrates on suspicion of arms being
unlawfully secreted in any house, should
be obliged to communicate the grounds.
OF their suspicion to the Castle, and that
it should be placed entirely at the dis
erection of the LORD Lieutenant, wheth-
er the search should be made or not.
There was another part of the former
Act which was Justly reckoned ex-
tremely severe namely, that when a
man brought an action against any mag
rstrate for what he had done, even tho
the plaintiff should have verdict, vet
the Judge was empowered to say, there
was ground of suspicion with regard to
the concealment Of arms, and direct
only cd. damages. He now proposed
to remove the severity of this clause,
by putting both plaintiff and defendant
on footing Of equality"

SPANISH COLONIES.

Porto-Rico. We learn from Porto
Rico, that it was the intention of the
Spanish government there to send off
the French inhabitants, as had been
done IN Crs6a. Many were preparing
tor their departure. Almost every
Frenchman in Stain and the Colonies,
is spy, or an iDtriguer Of BeaApARrE.
"A vessel from Ldguira had been con-
demned at Porto-Rico, on the pretext,
that the Carraccns was in state Of re-
bellion.
CarthagenG. A revolution took place
IN this important Spanish province the
18th June.--ihe Governor was exiled
to Haoana, and the old Governor, who
had been displaced by the Seville Junta,
had been appointed Chiefof the Revo-
lutionrsts I, who acknowledge FERDI-
NAND for their King, but renounce the
authority of the Ji4ata.

daily expected. She arrived just as
the mail was starting, and no papers
have been received in town. The
English and Portuguese troops occupy
stations extending from he Douro to
the Tagus. The whole line is under
Lord wellington, who also commands

aank extends to the Tagus, and who
communicates with the Spanish force,

On our passage, on Sunday oath

Capt. BOYS, laying at anchor under
the Stirrat Key, Zone of the Berry Isl

and sent boat off, as we supposed to

and as soon as the officer came on board
he said the captain of the brig wished
Us to so down to him.--Capt. TRIPpE
said, he would inform him who he was,
(Which he did) but could not go down.
Atthat moment a secondxhot was fired
which come over the quarter deck, and
shot away our main boom. The cap
tain Immediately despatched the officer
to his own vessel to inform him he
could speak only by broadsides-the
word was," In all studding sail, ROYALS,
&c. beat to quarters. I've ran down
along side OF her, and were erhectine
the word, !" blow your match, fire.
when the Rriton said he would send
his first Lieutenant on board Of us
He came.-The Lieutenant said, his
reasons for firing were, that he could
not see our cOlors--that he saw no pre-.
paratlons on board the Ere,l for taking
IN sail-that he was informed Of two
French briggs fitting out Of the u. States
that he was DESTROYS ofspeaking us.
Not understanding this as coming
directly from his commaader, aud con-
sidering the Insult given, too great thus
to look over, Capt. Il. s-nt our first

he gave, and which was couched in
