Star. — 1821-12-06 (London, England)

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1821. STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. The Market looks much better this morning, and an improvement has taken place. Consols opened at 78, and have risen a quarter, and the prospect still continues favourable for a further rise. There are various rumours in circulation—one that the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank have had an interview yesterday with MT. VANSITTART, and the object of their business is said to be an arrangement for discounting at 4 per Cent.—Current prices: Bk. Stock 237%-3 per Cent. Redu.76s/x 77 76 /8 3 per Cent.

We anxiously wait their arrival, to know the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of the KING% Answer. An English House of Commons would petition the KING, to know by whose advice' he gave such an Answer t• a Constiturional Remonstrance, and to call for the dismissal of the Minister who dared to advise his Sovereign thus to treat the-Representatives of the Nation. The great probability, however, is, that by this time a change has taken place in the French Ministry; for we can scarcely think the KING would hazard the experiment of dissolving the Chamber and trying a new Election, under the present circumstances.  The Irish journals received this morning are filled with details of new outrages committed in various parts of the country, some of them of a more daring description than have yet characterized the present unhappy disturbances. It is not to murders and burnings that the peasantry now confine themselves, bur, trey have dated to attack the Military. It appears that a detachment of fifteen soldiers, sent to take two men who had been taken in execution for debt and rescued, were attacked near Waterford in great numbers by the peasantry, and compelled to retreat into the Castle; and so determined was the spirit of these rioters, that they were only prevented from storming the place by a threat that, if they attempted it, the prisoners whom they. sought to rescue should be in•  stantly shot. In other parts of Ireland the spirit of disaffection is rapidly spreading, notwithstanding the embodying of the• Yeomanry, the searching for arms, and the seizing on all the gunpowder in the disturbed districts. That the power of the Irish Government should Le actively and vigorously employed to put down the present tumults, as well to punish the delinquents as to protect the innocent, no one will deny ; but something more must be done than this before the happiness or tranquillity of Ireland can be assured; nothing but an entire change of the system by which it has been governed can do t'ais. Let the policy be as liberal and cherishing as it has been hitherto contracted and repulsive, and Ireland may rise to that importance to which her•physical resources entitle her. Notwithstanding the assertion of Major TIGHE, noticed yesterday, as to the origin of the present disturbances, there is its doubt that the main cause of the tumults in the south .of Ireland, is poverty.— " The distress of the labouring class," says the Dublid Journal of Monday, " in the greater portion of the disturbed districts, is excessive. Many, both able and willing to work, cannot obtain employment. They will offer to labour for the farmer at 4d. per day—' they would be happy' says our informant, if they could obtain Gd. per day:—Their food, when they can get it, is potatoes, twice or thrice a day, without even the luxury of buttermilk.— In this state of things, the roving vagabonds, who always, more or less, infest the Southern and Western Districts of Ireland, have found the present time snost apt for their wicked schemes. They pretend to redress grievances—to reduce rents and tithes— hence, they obtain -patronage among the small tenantry—they live better than the industrious—they find food and protection in the cabins, during the day, and at night they sally forth to pursue their rnaurading expeditions. Through a system of intimidation, almost every man, of the lower orders, has been sworn to secrecy. This oath is deemed obligatory, or the fear of unrelenting punishment makes it' so ; and the banditti, although not very numerous, bare thus the command of the life and property of thousands."
