Having last week copied froim the lJeadiiz- Alfercary a paragraph relative to a late case at these sessions, we thlink it rinht to pubhlhl from the present iveek's mint ber of that journal, a fuller explanation of what striles us as a very curious business.

The French papers of Wednes day, vhiclh we received Thst night, slupply the following articles of intelligence:- hlADRII), JAN. 11.

The Irish Court.
The Times, 1824-02-10T00:00:00

(Irom the ubiaEvenbzg Jlail.) The last drawing-room, and our remarks upon it, have ruffled the temper of a certain great personage exceedingly. The contrast ex- hibited between the list of nobility attending his Court, and that of the high and titled personages who were lately present at the fetc given by the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, has induced his Excellency to apply to the latter for support in this his awkward and mortifying dilemma. The Master of the Ceremronies has re- turned from his northern expedition with rather a favourable answer, and much is ex;sected at the approaching drawing-room. The King at Arms was commissioned expressly to wait upon a Dowager Lady of rank, who, for six successive Viceroyalties, has been the pride and boast of the Irish Court, and who upon several occasions had the honour of reprecenting tbe L,adies of Lord Lieutenants in their ab- sence, supplicating her appearance at the forthcoming drawing-room; bttt her Ladyship stoutly (and she has given uneqisivoeil proofs of her courage and determination) refused the request, and stated, that nothing short of a habeas corpus should ever bring her into the Irish Conrtwhile * - * * ^ ^ * o * This open threat of defiance has determined the Administration upon auloptine vigorous measures. The papers are how before Mister Cunningham Plunkett, his Excellency's Attornev-General, and it is expected that the writ will be moved for on Saturday. *luch as we are attached to the constitution, and anxious as we are to preserve it pure and unsullied, we wo Id almost prefer having the fHabea.s Corpus Act suspended, rather than that it sltould become the mieans of bringing into Court. against her feeling and inclination. a lady so beloved, so regarded, want so respected, as the Dowager Lav -. And Yet, we should not be surprised if it were put into force. It would not be much more arbitrary, though certainly more ridicu- lous, than the cx-oftlcio. THE IRISV COURT.

PARLIAMI?NTARY INTELLIGENCE. Trhg LOBD CIMANCELLOR informed toe house, ttat:sir Lteo. Hernry Rose wishled that bis -on should, with their lordslftps' per- mission. azt as his substitute as clerk,instead of Mr. Birch, who had hitherto'discharged the duty. The noble and learned lord, after higbly commen ing the manner in which hfr. Birch had executed the duties of the office, moved that the request of Sir George Rose be cont,Eed with. The Earl of LIVERPOOL concurred in the approbation which the lChantellor had expressed of M.r. Birch's conduct, and supuorted tlhe modion- He also availed himself of the opportunity which this question afforded, to remind their lordships of the conyersation which. took plce a. few iRays ego, respecting the appointment of a committee to inquire Into the state of the office of Clerk ofParlia- rnern, and inthm-ited that he would on sojie early day call their IrdThi1,s' attention to the appointmnent ef a dommittee by which the entire regulltion of the sflice should ba taken into conenderation. L4td HOI4LAND thought that no time ought to be lost in comn- rneucidg the inquiry. The preaCnt was the most convenient time for the crecution of- such a task, and te whole subject ought to be gone itflt. The motion bcinq agreed to, Mfr. Rose took his place at the table. A persoin from the Custom-house presented cop;ies of orders of council exempting vessels belonging to the kingdoms of Hanover and the Netherlands from taking on board pilois in certain cases; and also for levyins duties on American vessels. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition, from a place the name of which was not heard, praying for relief from the duty on co31s carried coastwie. The Marquis of LANSDOWN moved fore variety of papers relating to freland, as the composition of tithes, operation of the insurrection act, &c. These papers, he obse;ved, had already been or- dere to be laid before the House of Commons, and he wished them to be on the table of their lordships' house previous to the di.scus- sion of the motion of which a noble earl (Daroley), not then in his pUae, had given notice.

The Frenltc morning an(d evening papers of Tuesday, 'which reached us last night, contain scarcely any tbing worth extracting. Several towns and districts cf Spain are represented in that state of disorder and confusion which might be expected as the consequences of foreign invasion, and the fruits of restored despotism. The trial of the persons charged with a conspiracy against the state, whose in- dictment we mentionied yesterday, commenced before the Paris Court of Assize on Tuesday. The six alleged male conspirators were condemned par conturniace, without empanelling a jury, or hearing witnesses; anl after the reading of the indictment, the pro. ceedings against Aladame Chauvet, the wife of one of them, ac- cused as an accomplice, was postponed to the session of Febru- ary, on account of the absence of some material witnesses. Two of these witnesses are the Marquis of LAFAYETTE and his ton Count GEORGE LAPAYETTE, who, not answering to tneir names, were fined 100 francs, and rendered liable to pay the ex- penses which the delay may occasion. The Hambarghi papers, which have likewise arrived, may be com. prised in the observation whichi is applied to the French journals.

The Greeks.
The Times, 1824-01-27T00:00:00

The followiieg is an extract of a letter dated Argostoli lCephalonia), Dec. IS: "'A few days ago the Greek squadron fell in 4v4i:i the: -Turkishl fleet a second time in the Gulf of Volo, anid xnmAle preparations to attack, on which the Captain Faebla 4e& before them,nmakingsail with 26 vessels for Constantinople.' This squadroni wvas pursuedl by a like number of Greeks but I beliete without efiect. Another detachment of 11 sail made for ani island of which I do not remembtner the name, and. was pursued by a smaller div4slon of the Greeksi which cameup with tlem, engaged, took,. or drove on sliore nine of them. The affair or i ssolunghi lhas termninated just as I e.xpected. O)n the 1st inst. tke Turks suddenly raised the siege, embarking their artillery and Dart of their troops; but eaving before thte place their sicc and wound- ed, a quantity of stores, horses, wvetted powder, &c., and. retreatedl in the directionl of Prevesa. OD the 7tb, a Greek squadron of 14 sail appeared ia these seas, Mavro6rdato- being on board. There have since been some encounters of' which we have hardly had time to gather the details. 'The Greeks fell in wvith a Tttrkish corvette on the coast of Ithaca, atid engaged her so sharply, that after vainly at- tempting to run her on shore, she wyas compelled to sur- render. She was on her vay from Prevesa to Patras, with stores and specie. Oat of 1.i0 msen, 97 are said' to have been killed; among them the Captain antd the nephew of Yussuf Pacha ; the rest gained the shore of Ithaca, and were received into the 1,zzaretto. A letter from Ithaca states that 600,000 Turkish piasters have been found on board the prize. Oni the night of the 9th a T' rnki h transport, with 150 mnen, put into Fiscardi, an outport of this island, opposite to Ilthaca, during a gale: a smnall Greek vessel did the same, niot knowing of the Turks being there, and at day-break they found ilnemselves within half a cable's lengtlh of each other. A stronig de- tachment of the 5th Regiment was ordered to occupy the port, to prevent any ihfraction of the neutrality and sanato- ry laws: neither are allowed to remain more ihan 24hours in Ionian ports. No intelligence from the detachment has yet reached this city. Although these affairs are passing in a manner under their eyes, yet it is hardly credible how the Turkish m ei of war suffer themselves to be knocked about by this Lillipua fleet." TIlE O1AEEHS.
