We regret to learn from the Irish
papers received this morning, that the
system of outrage still continues in the
counties of Cork, Limerick, Carlow,
Weameath, and Leitrim. The follow-
ing remarks upon this subject are from
the Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday
last THE accounts from the South
of Ireland. since Saturday, are OF
very unpleasant nature. Though the
Kings counsel are sitting at Special
Sessions in Limerick and Cork, the
work of destruction goes on as actively,
almost as at any period during tie last
winter or spring. The infatuated and
desperate peasantry are again collect.

who were not able to remove to towns
or to the capital, called upon the Go.
vsrnment for ass stance. But what can
the government do more shan it has
done?"
From the London Morning Chronicle, Of
October 26.
Accounts have this morning been re-
ceived from Greece of the most salts
factory nature On the Gath of Sept.
the Castle of Corinth surrendered to
the Christians, and by this achievement
the Morea has been again liberated
from the Barbarians. This event will
be considered important in history, be-
cause it has been preceded by the NEST
brilliant successes ON the part of the
Greeks.
The Turkish feet, after the loss of
six ships which they sustained in action,
with the Grecian navy, attempted in
vain to gain the DardapeIles, and we're
forced back into the haven of Napoli di
Romania, where the Greeks had assem-
bled all their forces round them. The
situation of the barbarians was highly
critical, for they were hourly exposedto
an attack, and their destruction was ex-
tremely probable, for the Greeks recol.
lecting the bloody scenes at Scio and
Cyprus. were filled with the most de-
termined purpose of revenge, particn.
larly the islanders.
LoNDoN, Ger. 27.-Thursday's Pa"
ris papers, which arrived yesterday,
furnish no intelligence of any impor-
lance from the Spanish frontier. The
contending parties had not met, and ap-
pearances indicate that decisive bat
tie is not soon likely to be fought. Mi
mas policy seems rather to be directed
to prevent the troops of the Regency
from extending themselves, and to shut
them up In part of the country where
subsistence is difficult. If the follow
ing extract of letter rom Bayonne
may be credited, distrust and disaffec-
ton already reign in the ranks of the
Army Of the Faith, and indicate it's dis
solution to be near at hand, without a
defeat from the opponents.
BAYoNNE, Ger. l7.-Col. Cabra,
commander of the troops of the Faith
in Navarro, arrived yesterday evening
with several Of the officers who had
been under his orders. They had been
abandoned by their soldiers, and pur-
sued in.ali directions by the COnstitu~
tional troops. Gen. Eguia has commits
stoned twelve officers to set out from
Bayonne and attempt TO rally the fugia
tives, but as the intelligence from St.
Jean.Pied de Port announces thsttho
who have not returned to their homes
have taken refuge in the French terri
tory, they will not be able to re-unite
them without foreign aid. On the l4th
it was estimated that at ST. Jean PIED
de port, Lecumberry and the neighbor-
hood, there were 500 or 600 of these
fugitives, and the municipai bodies had
applied for instructions to..superlor autho-
rity,in what manner they were to be
disposed of, The fort of lrati, on 10th,
was only occupied by about 81 men,
and the Constituencies would'pToba.-
bly soon become masters of it.
