following article:
KILkENNY, Nov. ga letter from
military friend in the county OF Limerick,
| informs us that no piquet services IN the
Pyrenees, or throughout the Peninsula
war, eoualled the harrassipg duty which
he and his companions experience IN that
country. The management OF The insur'
gents exceeds al! belief. A few nights ago
very strong military force secured the

in search of arms, and their trophies were
an old rusty sword, and bog duck gun !!
"Jack Rock who is at once the leader,

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM PARIS.
Rumours with respect to France, OF
very contradictory lare, have prevailed
since Yesterday morning. One that the
! King OF France was dead; another that the
/ Chamber of Deputies had been dlsolved-
F.! tina, the French Funds had experienced a
great fall, sc, &C. In this case, as IN most
! others, we are able 10 lay before the pub
! lie intelligence upon which they may re-
ly.
The news from Paris is certainly OF an
unpleasant nature, so Tar as relates TO com
| munication between the K ne and Cham
Der of Deputies The Chamber OF Depn-
, ties have presented an address to the King
in which they indirectly insInuate, that
peace has been preserved by sacrifices in
compatible with the hoaor OF the French
name and the dignity of the crown. The
| word, of The address, are
6" We congratulate you, sire, upon your
| continued amica5Ie relations with Foreign
| Powers, in the Just confidence that peace
so precious has not been purchased by sa-
| crifces incompatible with the honor OF the
nation and the dignity of your Crown"
| OF course, it IS meant TO be inslnuated
! that the King has not iDtertered with sutfl
cient yigor, with respect to Turkey and
| Russia. The King in his answer, rebukes
the Chamber for indulging suppostion,
that he could ever consent to sacrifices I'M
worthy Of the nation he governs and the
crown he wears. The address and the
answer of the King were delivered last
Friday night. They were contained IN
the Moniteur of Saturday, which we re-
ceiyed this morning by express. In this
safe. affairs remained when 'ur messenger
left Paris; but it is probable, and indeed
| generally expected; that the Chamber will
be Dissolved forthwith, or thai there will be
change of ministry. The Ministers, "
says private letter we have received OF
Saturday, rendered to The King. lInmedl-
ately after his reply TO the Deputies, their
resignation, which his Majesty refused"
The same letter adds-''lt is supposed
the Chamber will be dissolved as soon as
the King shall be assured by bis Ministers
that the future nominations shall be less
hostile to the march and principles OF his
Government" The French funds fell on
Saturday 10 89f l5c.
The situation of affairs in the East OF
Europe has assumed very different as
pect from what we expected. Persia ac-
Cording to private letters, has not only
declared war against Turkey, but has &C.
tuaIly commenced hostilties in Asia "a
gainst the Turks. The fact is stated posi-
lively, and it is inferred that this would
not have been done without some previous
concert or communication with Russia, and
| that Russia will put her armies IN motions
against Turkey as soon as militarYsoperas
| tons can be undertaken from the banks Of
the Pruth. >!
