[ PRICE 50 NUMBER bATAVIA, On Monday, Louis XVIIIth, with his suite. ar » rived at the Rose Tavern, in Cambridge. The Cambridge Local Militia being at the time under , arms in the Market- place, they presented him with a royal salute, With ^ hich he was much pleased, conversed some time with the officers, and appointed yesterday, at ten o'clock, to receive them in a body. Several Members of the Uni. versify have waited upon him, and it is said he it to dine to- day in Trinity- college Hall. At no time did the Bibliomania rage with more violence then at present.

Thi Duke of Devonshire has also bought the Count McCarthy's library, ia one. lot for 25.000 guinea. S. One of the most antient methods of preventing drowning, perhaps coeval with navigation and pi- racy, is by the skin of a goat j though its advan* tages were too often applied to facilitate injustice and rapine. The banks of both the Euphrates and Tigris are infested with robbers, who are ae. customed to swim aboard of the boats in the wa- ter, and to carry off whatever they can seize. Tra- vellers have often been surprised at the length of the distances which the Arabs will pass floating on the water. They accomplish these voyages by means of a goat's skin, of which they sew very completely the different openings, with the excep. tion of the skin of one of the legs, which they use jis. il. pipe to blow up the rest of the.' skin, and af- terwards twist and hold it very tighr. After tfiit preparation they strip themselves naked, form a package of their cloaths, anJ lying it on their shoulders, lay themselves fl. it on the goauskin, oa which they float very much at their ease, paddling with their hands and feet, and smoking their pipes a\ l the tim •. Not only men, but women and girls, adopt this method ( if crossing the river, and make the air re- echo with their songs while they ate passing. JUST ARRIVED TO CRAWFORDS, WALLACE, W CO.

Our army had suffered from sickness; btlt that was more attributed to the exposure and fatigues which they had undergone, than to any local causes. They were not housed until after the 26th of August, nor was a single tent allowed to be landed. ' Yet it was not considered that the casualties were so numerous as, under like cir- " curristances, would have been expefled on the con- tinent of India. . The city of Batavia, and it environs, for fon* miles around, are represented as magnificent bt. yond all description. " Compared with the villas here," says a correspondent, " the best Calcutta houses are contemptible." A private letter from an Officer with the expe- dition against Java to his friend at Penang, de- scribes the gallant'and heroic conduft of a small detachment of the 22d light dragoons, as unex- ampled" in history. The detachment consisted only of 97 riien ; and, it is said, they attacked a Body of the enemy's cavalry amounting to about 2500* and, after completely routing them, took many prisoners. Another account says the charge was made with such irresistible impetuosity, that they absolutely rode over the men and horses of the enemy. Another correspondent writes, " he was sur. prized at the beauty, splendour, and number of the streets, canals, and private houses at Batati . • The country, he states, exceeds in beauty and richness the most fertile provinces of Bengal."— The Officer, after relating some particulars re- specting the Officers killed, observes that Colonel Macleod was among the number, and then says, " we crossed the river just after the engagement, and the men of his regiment were carrying his body to the grave, which they were preparing un- der the colours of the regiment, an honour which they had solicited for him. I was informed he lived an hour and a half after he received his wounds, and with great intrepidity gave an order for another charge.'' BELFAST COMMERCIAL CHRONICLE. h ON BON, Friday, May 29. We mentioned yesterday that the present Minister* had been sent for by the Prince, and that they waited upon him fn a body at noon. Before the arrival of the Cabinet Ministers, Earl Moira and the Marquis ' WrUeslay had separate audiences of the Prince, the Marquis not having had any interview with him since Monday evening. Hence it is inferred, that the powers given to his Lordship have been renewed. It is now said, however, that the Marquis advised the sending for Lord Mo'ta, and that they are both act- ing in concert. Of the result of the conference with the two Nohle Lords, and of the interview between bis Royal Highness and the present Ministers, ex- cept that nothing decisive was arranged.— Courier.

Patterson and Sons, with other opulent Merchants of Baltimore, had presented a Petition to Congress, praying a temporary relaxa- tion of the Non- Intercourse Law, as against Great Britain ; which was referred to the proper Commit- tee. The language of The National Intelligencer, respecting this country, is extremely hostile. " The final step ought to betaken ( says this official Paper), and that step is wat. By what course of measures, we have arrived at the present crisis, is not now a question for Freemen and Patriots to discuss. Our wrongs have been great, our cause is just, and if we are decided and firm, our succes> is inevitable." It is stated in these papers, that a letter from . Toe! Barlow, the American Minister at Paris, informs that lie has concluded a commercial treaty with France upon advantageous terms. T!-. e letters by the Lisbon mail intimate, that a dashing experiment is to be made by General Hill, who is collectings a considerable force at Merida.— The report is", that he is rapidly to advance from thenc* to the bridge of Almaraz over the Tagus, to cut off the supplies which Marmont has been in the Hi bit of receiving from the luxuriant valley between that situation and Toledo. The supply of flour was abundant, and adequate to the demand, even far four or five mdntljs. Lord Wellington had ordered'to be detained and purchased about 140,000 ' barrels of American flour, which it was intended should have been sent elsewhere ; and bills to the amount of abont TOO, ( XX)/. were some time since drawn or the Treasury in payment to the sellers. The price of this commodity has advanced, at Lisbon, within the short interval of a fortnight, about .20 per cent. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE FRENCH WEST- INDIA SQUADRON. We have great satisfaction' in stating that the ^ ews of the complete destruflion of th's squadron is confirmed by oilr Letters from Plymouth The result is highly creditable to Captain Hot ham, and the brave fellows who served tinder him, <- n this trying occasion. We have to regret that r. one of the plunder with which the enemy's ships were encumbered, has been saved to reward our brave tars for their valout: it is satisfactory, how. ever, to know, that our loss, considering the na- ture of the service, performed under a heavy fire from the land batteries, has been comparatively small— only five killed and 28 wounded. The following are the particulars of" this splendid achievement:— On Tuesday night arrived at Plymouth, the Nor- thumberland, 74 guns, Capt. Hotham. She that port about a week since, and on her an; v;; l Brest, was ordered by Rear Admiral Sjr Henry Neale to watch off L'Orient, for twd French gates and a brig from the West Indies, with plunder and valuable cargoes. Thursday week She took her position near the Isle of Groais, and on the following morning saw three sail bearing for L'Orient, with the wind at West.— It was soon discovered that they were the objects of tb » ir pursuit, and though it was attended with immense risk, the Northumberland de- termined on getting through the passage between Le Groais and L'Orient, which she fortunately effected in time, for in eight minutes more the enemy would have got out of their reach. Having prevented this, an engagement took place, and in 15 minutes both frigates and the brig were driven on shore about two o'clock in the day time, near the entrance of L'Orient, while the inhabitants to the number of at least 20,000, were witnesses to the destruction of the whole, for in a short time afterwards one of the frigates blew up, and, in the night, the other fri- gate and brig were set fire to and blew up likewise. An SO gun ship, ready for sea, with her yards, & c. manned, and about 50 gun- boats, lay tamely looking ori within three miles of the scene ef action, without endeavouring to come out.— A poor Portuguese pri- soner escaped from one of the frigates, and swam to the Northumberland, where he gave an account of S7 ships which had been destroyed by the enemy du ing a five months cruise. The nanic- s of the frig. tes are L'Orient, 44, L'Andronwc. he, 44, and the Ma tneluke, 18, brig. The Northumberland lost five men killed, and 28 wounded. Her . hull is not materially damaged, but her rigging is cut all to. pieces j indeed it was in the enemy's power to have sunk her trtnn the batteries, but the people on shore, particularly on the island, appeared petrified. Lieutenant Fletcher is slightly wounded. left off B. fri- It is said thai it is to be a stipulation with the new Ministry to adopt the Budget w hich Mr. Per ceval had piepared, to furnish the Ways am Means of the present year. It has been reported thai he had it in contemplation to augment the Income and Pinperty l ax, and to increase the Assessed Taxes.

"" Some days before the Emperor of Russia's de- parture for the army, Lauriston endeavoured to detain him, pretending that the French troops had advanced towards the Russian frontiers without orders from Bonaparte; and adding, that with the permission of his Imperial Majesty, he would send' one of his Aidei- de- eamp to direfl them to o> un. termarch. The answer of Alexander was, that the French Marshals were not in the habit of adl- ing without orders; that he ( Lauriston) might afl as he thought proper, but his own resolution was irreversibly taken. It is supposed that this answer decided the departure of Bonaparte from Paris. Our last letters from Lisbon state, that a party of Spanish cavalry fell in with a strong body of Ftench, escorting a considerable quantity of Claret and Burgundy for King Joseph, at Madrid ; a seizure of it was made after a smart skirmish, and being taken to the Spanish head- quarters, 1500 bottles of it were immediately sent off as a present to Lord Wellington, and another portion to his Lordship's Staff. EARTHQUAKE AT CARACCAS. The accounts respefting this dreadful calamity are confirmed tn their full extent. The subjoined lpt » ers from - Caraccas, and La Guira, its port, afford some interesting particulars with regard to this terrible convulson of natute, which seems al- most to have rivalled the earthquake that laid Lisbon in ruins more than half a century ago. " ST. THOMAS, APRIL 7. 1812. " At the moment of writing this, the schooner Favourite is at rived from Laguira, having brought the fatal intelligence, of Laguira and five cities in Caraccas, being totally destroyed by a most tre- mendous earthquake; not a house is standing in Laguira, except the Custom- house,^ which is not now habitabla. In Caraccas, neam* ll the houses are destroyed. It happened on the 26ih tilt, which was a holiday among the Spaniards, every church was full and every soul perished, supposed to be at least 8 to 10,000 souls; many aiso in private houses are buried in the ruins. Mr. Julien was five minutes under the ruins, but fortunately es'. caped. My son was in imminent danger, the house fell in as he was stepping out. This is not the worst of if; a revolution will certainly fallow, the ignorant Spaniards attributed it to the will of the Almighty, as a punishment on them for re- volting against their Mother Country, and for ad- muting strangers among them. The foreigners are all obliged to go armed, apprehending danger in every step ihi'y make, and, from the heaps of dead bodies that- are burnt in piles, a pestilence is expefled in the place." Another Extrafl of » Letter from same Gentleman of Hate APKit, 26. " Wc have had only one arrival from Laguira, which was a few days after the first, by which ac- counts have been received, that the earthquakes were still continuing, a very severe one having been felt on the Sunday following, which threw down the remaining shattered houses that escaped the first. Three or four vessels, in ballast, have gone down to bring here those who may have escaped, and we hourly look for their arrival." Extrafl of a I. efter from the Master of a Vessel to his Owners in Glasgow, dated La Guira, Ist ApriL " I have been longer detained than I expected. On the 26lh of March I was nearly loaded, but, in consequence of a dreadful Earthquake that took place that day, at 10 minutes past 4 o'clock, p. m. there has been nothing done since, only what I have been able to do with my own boat. The calamity here is at present dreadful ; all the houses are nearly down, and the. few that stand must come down. The population of the place was three thousand; at least one- half of them have been buried in theruins. I dined on shore that day with a few of our countrymen ; as we filled the second glass of wine after dinner, the glasses and decarHtrs began to tremble and jump on the table; wc all started up and took different direc- tions ; the scene was so awful, that it is beyond the human mind to form any idea of it. When the dust that ascended from the ruins cleared away, the cries of the living and wounded were dreadful, whilst thousands were groaning under the ruins. I am happy to observe the cities of Valercia, Vittoria and PortCabello have received but little damage. « The loss in Caraccas is said to be 10,000, and the different villages in the neighbourhood are al- together in ruins. As many as can get refuge on hoard the vessels are taken in. My decks are like a barracks ; those who remain on shore are building tents in the fields." Extract of a letter from Captain Cuthbcrt, o) the ship Highlander, dated La Guira, April 2, 1812 : " Since my arrival here, one Of the greatest ca- lamities has occurred al this place that ever hap. pened in any country. On the 26th ult. whilst on board, heard a most dreadful report of an- earth- quake : it lasted, as nearly as my recolleflioa tfill » erve, abont two minutes. I soon learnt that the town of La Gutra was laid in ruins, and" that numbers of the inhabitants were killed and buried I in them. The city of Carracas, I understand, has experienced a still worse fate, and has been totally abandoned by the unfortunate inhabitants. The rocks and mountains were rent asunder; and it is impossible for pen to describe the devastation oc- casioned by this horrible explosion. The cat^ o which I was to have taken on board has shared the ( ate ot nearly all the goods in the city, and has been swallowed tip irt the general ruin. When the shock wis first felt on board, every person was j| impressed with the feeling that the ship was beat- ing to pieces on the rocks. On my going on shore, the most awful and afflifling scene pre- sented itself; hundreds of the suffering inhabitants were seen mixed with heaps of ruins, and many of them still yet alive with their heads out implor . ing assistance from their fellow- citizens, who, in- stead of affording them aid, were throwing them- before images, beating . their tion rff their Saints. When the alarm had in some degree subsided, the bodies of the dead were stiught for, but I have not been able to as- certain the extent of the loss which this hapless city has sustained."

MAILS SlrtCE OUR LAST. no « 2 BY DONACHM*** •••• '- 0 2 BY Dublin 0 BELFAST, Wednesday, June 3, I S I The London Papers of Friday, and also those of Saturday last, though abounding in specula- tion on the subject, contain no authentic account of the formation of a new Ministry, so that, in fact, since the murder of Mr. PERCEVAL, the country has been virtually without the advantage of an efficient Administration. This state of things, which i? attended with the greatest incon. venience, cannot last many days. In a second edition of The Pilot, we find that Mr. MAJITIN, of Galway, has given notice of a motion on the s, ub. ject, which will have the desirable effect of bring- ing matters to a crisis. Th * following is the substance of the Papers of Saturday the 30th, which arrived last night by express from Donaghadee PACKET BY F, X. P_ R£ SS. London, Saturday May 30. [ FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.] Motives of delicacy and respeft have hitherto prevented us from noticing the gross misrepresen- tations which the Ministerial Papers are in the daily habit of obtruding on their readers, as state, ments of what hay recently passed anjong the pub- lic men, whom the country naturally looks up to for the formation of a new Administrations It has' been said, and because uncontradicted by lii, con- 1 fidently repeated, that Opposition ha- ve rejetfed the proposals made to them by Lord- Wellesley. The truth is direftly the reverse. Lord I' iverpool and his colleagues did, indeed, most unequivocal'^ and we must say flippantly, considering who th^ y are, rejeil the proposals made to them by the Itfo- bte Marquis for a Coalition with him on public principles. But the answer of Opposition was diftated by a contrary spirit, and, as we are as- sured, was received and considered by Lord Wel- lesley as satisfactory. If no progress has since been made towards the formation of an efficient Administration, we dare pledge our authority for the assertion, that the fault is not to: be imputed either to the Noble Marquis, or to Mr. Canning, or to Loft^- Grey and Grenville, Or to the friends with whom they have consulted. The truth is, that his Royal Highness had not, up to a late hour yesterday afternoon, authorised any of the distinguished characters whom he has sent for to Carllon- house within this last week, either to form, or even to present to him the plan of such an Administra tion as could in any way satisfy the vote; of the House of Commons. Until his Royal Highness shall be pleased to follow this old constitutional course, and seleit some person whom he may deem worthy of so high a trust, and atlthoriie him either definitely to form such an Adminis- tration, or to present him the plan of one, it is evident that no arrangement. can be made. [ FROM THE SUN.] As we are really not apprised that any arrange, ments have taken place, or what is likely to be determined on, in the formation of a new Ministry we shall not imitate our competitors in general, by giving an air of importance and authority to the floating rumours of the day. Our Readers may confidently rely upon us for the earliest infor- mation on this most interesting subjeff, as soon as any definitive arrangements have aflually. taken platie. That matters are proceeding with full aflivity we know, 6nd with deference we may say, that the Prince Regent is entitled to the warmest gratitude of the publte, for the zeal and anxiety with which he has, throughout this ardti- ons business, endeavoured to unite the great lead, ing charaflers in the country, who areJeasl likely to. differ on points of essential importance, in or. der to frrm such a comprehensive and vigorous Administration as may be best qualified to con- duSt the aflfairs of, the Empire at this, eventful crisis. None of the difficulties attending this ar- duous task are attributable to his Royal Highness whose only objeft has evidently been to establish a Government which might fairly be expefled to excite full confidence in the people of this country, as well as in oar Allies. Earl Moira has been most eagerly zealous to accomplish the Prince'i gracious intentions, and we trust that matters will soon be finally arranged. The Noble Lord, we understand, had an interview with the Marquis Wellesley yesterday morning, and afterward* communicated the result to the Prince. Another meeting between the Earl of ' Moira and the Mar quis took place yesterday, and, by desire of the Prince Regent, the latter was to attend at Carl- ton- House last night. The Marquis, we are as. sured, Considered his commission for arranging a new Ac^ mini tration at an end on Wednesday ght^ - bot at the Prince's desire- signified his rea- diness to resume the powers with which it entrust, ed him. We fi. nd, therefore, that the negociafion has proceeded without interruption for the last tWo days, and we entertain strong hopes that this day will produce a final adjmtment. The grand object which unites the wishes and the interests of the Prince, the Parliament, and the Country, an efficient Ministry competent to the present arduous crisis, and possessing the confidence of the people, is now anticipated with the fullest reliance. AH the efforts, and intrigues of the Liverpool party to retain even a portion of office have failed, and the ilew Ministry will con- sist of the old Opposition and the Wellesleys The details of the arrangement are not yet finally settled, hut the outline, as well as its principal- features, are pretty well defined. Lords Grey and Grenville stand foremost on the canvass » . ord Moira and Marquis WeHeslcy having ; de- cltned any pretensions to precedence. Thestf two Noble Lords will, however, hold high offices and, the remainder of the Cabinet will consist of Lords Holland, Lansdown, Etskine, Messrs. Ponsoaby Sheridan, Canning, Tierney, See. Some lists , are in circulation which affect to be more minute, but we Consider them as mere speculations.—- We trust, if such a Minisvtryshall . be actu^ ly completed, and we have already expressed our confident opinion on the subject, that it may meet with no opposition from the old one ; such conduct would be most pitifully spiteful, and dis- ngenuous. They have been voted incompetent by the House of Commons. They cannot, there- foie, hope after that to carry on the Government themselves— that must be consigned to other hands. The measures proposed by the future ser- vants of the Crown will be open to their examina- tion and opposition ; but- to oppose the electron " of such servants, by petty cavil's, is to endeavour to keep both the. Prince and tbe nation in a state f absolute destitution, and must" be most injuri- ous to the public welfare.—( Globe.) ' ' Globe Office, Two o'Clock.

CM- Yesterday letters from St. Kitt's came to our hands to the 19th ult. They confirm, in general terms, the earthquake at Cirraccas, and observe, that two shocks had been felt on the island, but so slight a? tq be attended with no mischievou| consequences. AMERICAN PAPERS. • • ... . .- i f The oply political news worth extfatfHng is the following article from Washington, 1 under chte the 20th April" Mr. EoWndes declined - tn calF up th^ Bill for suffering the importation of certain goods, wares, _& c,. fr? m Great Britain and hgr de- pendencies, because he knew tbe attempt i^ ould not succeed.'* He rrtade this declaration, that people might not be " induced to enter into spe- culations from a hope of its final adoption.— Things continue on the. bunk of uncertainty, in- dividual suffering increases, and the charafler of the Government has in ssnje degree suffered by the late Ifar8f jjVdceFdings-" bf Congress. There will, in my opinion^ be a push to biing things to an iisue, for we- are. ia a situation which we can- not Long endure. The House must go forward or backward, or tha Ministers will not Jrmg he able to keep their majorities ; the nation will ne^, ver again compromise on the ground of embargo^ pr non- intercourse, & C; For this reason I should not be surprized to see the Committee of Foreign Relations come out vi( h a manifesto in the course of the ensuing weeft. There will be something of the kind attempted, and I think prudeut- vpeople should make their calculation accordingly." An American paper of the 16th ult. has the, following article':— v . * " We feel much pleasure in sta- ing tc* our readers that the PresiJent wholly disapproves of the conduit of the Officers of the United States* who participated with an unprincipled banditti in usurping the Government of Amelia Island."

SECOND EDITION. Pilot Office, Five O'Cloci. The House of Commons met at four o'clock, and- sat about- half an hour. None of the afting Ministers appeared in their places, - and no new writs were moved. Mr, Martin, of Galway, gave notice of his- in- tention to, brit) g forward, on Wednesday, unless au efficient Administration should be formed in MAJTWOOD, who, we have really been often sur- prised to see repeat her beautiful pai teu/ e, to gra- tify the wish of the audience, and that too, with undiminished spirit, and in the most frank and fascinating manner.— iWe hope the- e deserving performers will not fail of obtaining the counte- nance of every person of taste, on their appeal to thi liberality of Belfast, on this occasion. The Entertainments advertised for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. MULLENBPR, cannot fail to at-'" tradl an elegant and crowded audience. Micklin's. Man of the World ranks highly in the drama, for originality of conception, composition * nd interest.

RUT FIV EN'S SPEECH At the Election- on Saturday hut, of a Member of Par- liamint for the County of Down, instead of FRANCIS SAP AGE, Esq.„ He began by observing, that the Freeholders • were assembled for the purpose of elefling a Re- presentative for this County, in the room of Mr. Savage, who bad retired from Parliament, where he had ever arted in the most disinterested manner for himself personally, and who had opposed the policy which had been unhappily pursued by a corrupt and tyrannic Ministry, since the ttnion ; a measure which had extinguished even the pre. tensions of Ireland to the name of kingdom ; a de. scripcion, which, legally speaking, it had no right to assume. This was efferted by a Parliament, infamous and corrlipt enough to annihilate itself. Mr. Savage had accepted of office, but of one which me> ely facilitated his retirement into private life, and he did not carry with him the wages of corruption, extorted from the necessities and dis- tresses of the people. There was no situation in which the people were so imperiously called Upon to perform a great, a public duty, conscientiously, honestly, and firmly ; that it wa< necessary to im- press upon the people a sense of their rights, and to preserve them from that despondence on pub- lic affair?, which would make them lose sight of constitutional views, and might end unfortunately, perhaps fatally. The continuation of the feuds of the country were to be deplored, and until such misfortunes were lessened and removed, we had no right to expert peace at home. There was no oc- casion to speak in enigmatical language on such a subjert ; it was the lamentable division between Protestant and Catholic, which every good, every wise man, must wish to destroy, and without that, and such policy as would pursue the course be< t fitted for the attainment of that objert, it was an idle vain hope to expert peace or strength at home; for in what situation would a country be, should an invader appear, where a great, a com- manding proportion of its population ' was not in that situation, which as men, they, had a right to be in, and which they felt themselves precluded from, through the hard hand of corrupt despot- ism and intolerant intrigues; and in what situa- tion were the Catholics of this country ? What! had they not the feelings of men, and of Irishmen ? Let a man put it to himself, could he feel inclined to fight for those men, and that government, which opptessed and insulted him ? No! give me rights, rive me the protertion of the British Constitution, would be the natural emotion, and then " Lead me to the field." But however important was the question of Catholic relief from these penal laws • which disgraced the statute book, still Parlia- mentary Reform was, above all objerts, the grand feature in politics that would decide the fate of Protestant and Caiholic. Such an assembly as would » peak the honest sense of the people, must give such relief, and do away all such dreadful laws as perpetuated the divisions and misfortunes of the people. Parliamentary Reform must effert such a change, as well as relieve the people at large from the consequences of a coifupt and tyrannic Ministry, perpetuating their distresses, that they may the more readily prey upon the industry, and extort, even'from the most wretched and necessi- tous* a portion of their hard- earned means, which Was not swallowed up in the extravagance, and the profligate corruption of those men, by whom we have been governed, unfortunately for so long a time. Now, happily these Ministers have been turned out— disgracefully temoyed from office— the general disgust at their measures, and the opi- nions of their wretched imbecility, have become too general to be withstood ; it is even felt by their own followers and associates, and they are no longer supported by those men, they ever con- sidered their own creatures Now to look to the situation of this county— we know that the present vacancy has not been wished for by a powerlul psrty in it, and that there has been an attempt made to prevent it; If it was possible to suppose any Gentleman, com- ing forward 3t this moment, for the convenience 0f a party or an individual— [ Here Colonel Waid declared, that he came forwaid perfertly independent of any such mo- tive. The Hon. E. Ward made a declaration to the Ursa effleft ; also Mr. Ddacheroii- l Mr. Ruthven continued— he did not mean to insinuate such a thing; and it gave him pleasure to find, that Col. Ward had the honourab'p an? l manly feeling of being shocked at such an idea— he gave him full credit for it— it must raise an unpleasant feeling in the mind, of any gentleman, and' he was satisfied there was no reason to imnute such a motive to the Hon. Candidate; yet th - re had been a proceeding which he would mention, and which strongly bore upon the state of the county, and the views of persons connerted with it. When it was known that Mr. Savage intend, ed to resign the situation he held, as Representa- tive for this county, an application was made to endeavour to prevail upon him not to vacate his sear, but to hold it for the present Parliament; and from whom did the application come ? from Lord Castlereagh ! who even sent a certain Noble Lord to Mr. Savage, at Bath, in order to prevail upon that Gentleman to continue in Parliament ! Could this have been without some objert? What! apply to a person whose political opinions were long knoton to be in decided opposition to those of Lord Castlereagh ! Was not this inconsistent with every idea of private feeling or public duty ? surely it must have been connerted with some ob- jert. One cannot suppose such proceedings, and attemp'ed intrigue, without some ulterior pur- pose. But although he did not mean to insinuate that Colonel Ward was at all connected with this intrigue, he would put it to him, under the pre- sent uncertain state of the duration of Parlia- ment, which cannot exist long, and may now be on the verge of dissolution, to recollert in what a state he would be placed, if, on that dissolution taking place, he should be abandoned by ' hose persons who are now his principal supporters ; how would he feel himself in such a situation I he could not be considered otherwise than as hav- ing been made the dupe of the private views and purposes of others on the present occasion. He did not mean to put this as a question to which he experted an answer. He declared, that he by no means wished to promote any vexatious opposition; and said, that independent of any difference of political opinion, he could have no objertion to the return of Colonel Ward as Repre- sentative of the county; but that there was an imperious duty incumbent on every honest man, far beyond any deference to a private individual — this was public principle, which should be faithfully and inviolably resperted and adhered to, and which prevented ^ him being able to vote for Colonel Ward. That at the present moment, he preferred giving an open, a fair avowal of those ' sentiments, which he felt, in preference to putting the county under circumstances which made suc- cess hopeless; though a considerable number of independent freeholders would be desirous of en. rolling their names, as men who preferred public principle to the sordid hope of paltry ambition; that he should be sorry to do so, for the purpose of annoyance to Colonel Ward, though he was satisfied there was no danger of the peace of th ™ county being disturbed, by persons being cal', « d together for a great constitutional purpose— every meeting that ever toas held in the county of Down proved the contrary ; but he believed those persons who deprecated such meetings, did it from the fear and apprehension of hearing the public voice. Yet it was necessary, under such circumstances, to trespass still longer on the freeholders; to call upon them to do their duty honestly, in choosing Representatives to speak their sentiments in Par- liament. Let them reflert that they were bound conscientiously to elert those men, whom, in their hearts, they believed most capable of virttiously, and honourably fulfilling the trust reposed in them ; for unless they arted with integrity and honest principle on their patt, they had no right to expert, or reason to hope, for honest Repre- sentatives. And what Were they to fear? was it the difference between a payment of rent on a Monday or on a Saturday ? They knew rents must be paid, and they could not be fools enough to suppose landlords would allow them to hold theif grounds without doing se. Were they to be ter- rified by the command of the bailiff, or the threats of the agent. To apply the persecution of the landlord's power against the tenant, for a con- scientious discharge of an important public duty, would be a condurt as odious, as it Would be ty. rannical and oppressive ; it would be a prartice which could only excite horror and disgust, and from which every honourable mind, every Gen- tleman ought to turn away from, and be ashamed to commit. If such things had been done, as ap- peared to have been the case, he hoped such days were past, and in these enlightened times, that no Gentleman in this county would be disgraced by the exhibition of them. The people ought to com- municate with each other on such subjerts— the natural intercourse of society a. dmitted it— and it was their duty to co- operate with each other in the selertion of Representatives, and to sacrifice some little private interest for so great a public good ; for it would be lamentable if despair and despondence prevailed, instead of looking to the redress of grievances through the constitutional medium of Parliament. Dreadful indeed would be the prospcrt, if hope and expertation from their Representatives were taken away. Revolution, with all its attendant horrors, would state us in the face. Those Catholic Freeholders who naturally felt themselves degraded and oppressed by the penal laws affecting them, would shew themselves traitors to their own cause, by supporting men who Were inimical to their claims; they have al- ready in this County, and in many places, made the declaration that they will not do so, nor can they act otherwise, consistently with a respeft either for their religious feeling or political situa. tion; by a different cond- urt they would only prove thetr own insincerity, aqd how little desirous ! they were of sacrificing a trifling portion even of worldly expedition for an objert which, if they ; have- ihe'feelings of men, of Irishmen, must and i ought to be dear to their hearts ; they haye had the assistance, and the cordial heartfelt co- opera- tion of great talents, property, and respeflability, in Ireland, and he trusted they will continue on their part that condurt which will preserve a cor- dial and lasting unio » with their Protestant friends, and not rivet their own chains in indissoluble fet- ters. He could not help reminding soma of the freeholders then assembled, how galling it must be to them t- o think that their children should be stamped with a mark, rendering them for ever incapable of arriving at those offices Or stations to which in the course of human events their talents and their fortunes might lead. them. It was now becotjie a common place question to ask, had Lord W llington, who has so much distinguished himself, been a Catholic, would he ever hive be- come a great General ? had the illustrious Cnrran, whose talents are a splendid ornament to the countrv which gave him birth, been a Catholic, he could not have arrived at the eminence to which he has attained ; his genius could not have brooked the degrading, lowering condition ; he too rose from the middle or lower walk of life ; his merit is valued; his resplendent talents and political consistency have met their reward— a rich one— he is appreciated by his countrymen as he deserves. The fame of Mr. Patrick Duigenan might also have been lost had lie appeared as a Ca- holic ; yet, it would not have been extraordinary, had he been educated as One; and p rhaps, as a Priest, he might have been heard of— be might have: revived and preached" the persecutions and exploded doflrines of former ages; a man who could feel a disposi- tion towards Int- lerance on one side, would equal- ly do so on the other. Look at our great coun- trymen Burke and Sheridan— Irishmen, whose extraordinary acquirements raised them super- eminent among their compeers ; had they two been Catholics, they would have been lost to the world. Even a Fo* and a Pitt, so circumstanced, must have been debarred from those pursuits, in which their great talents so much distinguished themselves, and marked with strong features, rise very times in which they lived ; the application of such things must go to the mind of every Ca- tholic, with redoubled anguish, when he reflects upon his own state— perhaps the father of a fami- ly, separated by an irremoveable bar, from future fame and future honour. All those of every de- scription, possessed of the eleftive franchise, are peculiarly called upon to discharge their duty of • Freeholders conscientiously and virtuously. Can an able and fit Representative not be found among ourselves? Ireland produces such, when you have Mr. Curran, a man eminently qualified for such a station— a man tried and known by the peo- ple. There are many others who might be nam- ed, but that Gentleman is rich in the choicest gifts of nature— splendid talents, with honest feeling towards his country. Some would recommend dif- ferent qualities, and when the extent of a landed property alone is recommended to be taken into question, it may be fairly asked, if you wish the qualities of your Representative to be ascertained by the artual measurement of a Land Surveyor.- In the County of Wicklow, Mr. Ponsonby, ano- ther eminent public man, was chosen ; he',* how- ever, happily coincided in political opinions with Lord Fitzwilliam, and naturally had the support arising from his influence: now, indeed> that County is represented by two of its own resident Gentlemen, who, not only are a high credit fo if, but whose public condurt entitle them to be considered as distinguished members of that coun- try from which they aie se' * Such examples ought to be imitated, and in the men we elert, it is the public principle we should consider,-' more, than the mere individual; and nqver were there times when it was more necessary for the people to do their duty. The Northern Whig Club has been mentioned, and he would read a part, a very small part of some of their proceedings, which he had just observed, particularly one Resolution which had passed unanimously ; the late resperted Gawn Hamilton, in the Chair, 19th April, 1790, Belfast: " Resolved unanimously— That when an un- " masked and shameless system of ministerial cor-, " ruption manifests an intention to sap the spirit, " virtue, and independence of Parliament, it is " time for the People to look to themselves." It was unnecessary to comment upon this; the application was too plain at this day— it was un- der the principles of the test which had been read. A former Representative of this County— a truly independent Gentleman, acted in Parliament ( Mr. Edw. Ward), he should only add to what had been most truly said of him, " that he went into Par- liament pure, itid returned froiti it uncorrupted." What did this Whig Club do ?— were not the peo- ple tatlght by it to cherish their principles, and propagate their political dortrlnes, which produc- ed calamities, dreadful, heart- rending, ones The United Irishmen, after tbem appeared in the country; It may seem to be a sudden start to take from this Club to the United Irishmen; it is no such thing. The Unite ) Irishmen took as the ba- sre of their proceedings, the very principles which had been disseminated by that Club. Lord Cas- tlereagh was one of irs Members, and in early life had arrived at an honorable station, through the profession of the principles of the Northern Whigs. Fortunate on his entrance into public life, and looked up to by the people, he might have become their leader in the honorable pursuit of constitu- tional redress. Situated as he was, and might have been, there were hoRours before him in that course which might have gratified, and might have satis- fied an honorably ambitious mind, and would have been recorded in future days, in the page of his tfjry, as far excelling those honors he has obtained through another source. There is little, if any distinrtion to be seen between the principles of this Club afid the early United Irishmen ; but the un- fonunate people were deserted by those who had' arted as their friends, and had circulated opinions similar to those taken up by United Irishmen.^ Had these Whigs continued to art constitutionally, and endeavoured to have preserved the people in the legal constitutional coiirse ivhich they had re- commended them to adopt, the- country might have been preserved from many cif its misfortunes, and the just rights of « } ie nation obtained, through peaceable, legal, and constitutional reform. Then indeed would it have been impossible to have goaded the people into rebellion j and we should as yet have had no Union. But the people were abandoned j . they were left a prey to design- ing, artful mfen; their minds had been already heated, and it was no wonder that they became the virtims of delusion, and of ill- digested machinations— many calamities might perhaps have been avoided;— men might not have been hanged— men might not haye suffered in various ways, from a frantic, unhappy direction of prin- ciples, which they had originally adopted with purposes far different from those of treason or rebellion. Killinchy would not have afforded the melancholy example of 12 or 13 men suffer- ing, that mtf. iber being hanged at one time, for offences arising out of this very rebellion. The particular circumstances of their trial, he said he, was not sufficiently acquainted with to state, but lamented that such an example should have been found necessary; that it was an unhappy thing that the objects of the Whigs or the United irishmen had ilot been preserved within the legal course and parliamentary madiurri pointed out by the Constitution— they rrmst have succeeded.' in their wishes for every thing that was right, through that channel, had their exertions been honest, unremitting, and Constitutional. The voice of a people, when properly directed, must be heard, and will not be heard in vain. Let not that despair arise which we ought not. to feel, and which must be deplorable in its conseqnen- ces-— it might produce a slavery, a wretched, protract- ed one, on the one hand; or it might drive an un- happy people to the dreadful alternative of the destruction of their own Government— a revolu- tion- might overwhelm the land, and we might be doomed to suffer the fate of other countries, and . of other institutions. In* ev'ery country into which the Erench Conqueror, that great tyrant, carried his arms, he found the Government, on one side, > nd the People on the other— the result could not be uncertain. But the British Constitution . pre- serves within itself, that invaluable gem, the ever- living principle of reform, that gives it the means of avoiding those shocks, and that decay, other institutions have fallen into. Should we not cherish and cultivate such a principle ? Where are we to look for the best safeguards, the best preservatives of this Constitution ? Are they not to be found in that icra— an old one, indeed, not like one of our new eras— the glorious Revolu- tion ; which is the true and best foundation of the rights and liberties of the people. He hoped that an end would be put to the system, which had harrassed and misgoverned the country ; that those truly revolutionary steps which had been taken, would be retraced ; that the divisions of the people should be terminated ; that our paper fabric should not run the revolutionary race of the French Republic, their aisignats; tb^ ir mandats were their bank notes; one pound rn specie would have purchased one hundred in paper, and they fell to- a nominal value below what almost could have been conceived." Oar own paper is' so depreciated, that there existed the' difference " of from five to six shillings, between'a real guinea and unrepresentative in paper. Let us see such " things restored to . their true standard, and no longer be deluded- and" d£ ceived' by notes bearing on themselves the pi oof and marks of falsehood, their promise: to pay.— It - was the conduct of the Irish'Parliament which made its extinction- be felt without regret; and detestable as he, thought the measure of Union . Was, the reflection that an • odious Parliament Ws- got rid of, is some conso- latifiri: , arid are"\ Ve~ not to learn from that, how much--\ w ought to prize an honest Parliament, and how.'. anxiously ought. we to seek for able and upright Representatives; to effect that, the Elec- tors must do their duty— they must not. only be legal Freeholders, - but actual Freemen—- without that,... how ridiculous and absurd to talk of the great respectability, the great independence, of the County of Down— it has no just pretension's' or" that nature, beyond that of a Cornwall bo- rough, or any place where the Representation of the People is disposed of by sale for money, or arrangements of any. other eorrftpt description— before it . possesses that respectability and inde pendence the Freeholders must: do their duty dit-, ferently ; and until they - do so, let them not pre- sume to compllin of grievances,- of oppressions,, which. they do not-' even attempt the legal and constitutional means . of redres'sing—. by sending- Members to Parliament who will plead their Country's cause, .. unaffected by the intrigues of party. - He declared that, he had. no wish to see tenants differing in anything with their landlords; and . in all cases where their political feelings were sincerely and really in unison, he was glad to see them act together ; but every Gentleman must admit, that in various, in numerous instances, such unison of opinion did not, could not exist; and he hoped to see former practices, by all par- ties, put an end to : the marshalling the tenants of an estate, parading them in regular order un- der the superintendance of bailiffs, with the assist- ance of perhaps the ag^ nt, of landlord, and so marching them to the tally- room, was a detestable sight : He hoped to see that such proceedings would cease, and that freeholders desirous of exercis- ing the. ir rights, would alone do so, and do sd inde- pendently. The days. of. persecution, shcTuld cease, and if thsir continuation was attempted-, he trusted there was good feeling enough in the country to produce a general contribution from all classes, even the lowest and poorest, should give their mite to save from the bailiff's gripe distress Wij& ed for1 rent. From such motives,' it must produce- such an effert ; the gensral indignatiorl would be excited, and the public would sympathize with and protert oppressed individuals. The tenantry- in this country might appear to be in a cur. ious- state;— in the West Indies, when a plantation is advertised for sale, the number of. acres, the hog- sheads of sugar, and puhebeons of- rum, with; a list of the negroes, are ali. specially enumerated : there is something curious to ' betjb? erved here; for . at this moment an estate appears to be sold, and at the bottom of the advertisement, there is'a me- morandum, stating the number of'freeholders upon the estate*. How much they may produce in a sale under a decree of the Court of Chancery remains to be'proved, and from it perhaps some light may be thrown upon the va'ti'e'which ought to be annexed to the Irish freeholder, as well as the West Indian negro. He said, that he was bappy to find that Colonel Ward came forward Ujjnn independent grounds, personally, and that he was not the creature, the instrument, the very jack boot' of any party or any individual ; that it was unnecessary to say more, than to again en- deavour to impress: upon the freeholders the pro- piiety of turning their minds towards discharging their duty faithfully to the country, and he assured I them that they should have the opportunity bf , doing so, at the elertion which could not be very | ar distant; that it was just and necessary- to put | such » test of Cundurt tu deflois, as as it was I to. put one to candidates; they shall have that opportunity which the law and the constitution allows and points out, and there can be no danger of fhe peace of the county being disturbed, nor will there be'any reason to say, that such proceed, ings will be Vexatious; no, they will be in the true spirit of the constitution, and will afford means for every man doing bis duty, and bearing his share in contributing'towards his countrymen at large j services which the principles of the con* 1 stitutinn require to be performed by those entrust- ed with the important right of. elerting persons to represent the people in Parliament, . He trnste 1 they would feel and consider these sentiments, a. s. well as disseminate them among their neighbour for the regulation of their condurt at a future day, which could not now be far distaut. M 1 - - • - r r- Mr. POTTINGER requests us to insert the follow- ing, as a more corrert statement of what was said on Saturday last, relative to the singular occu- rences at Lent Assizes: Mr. POTTINGKR said, I attended that meeting, and considered Mr! W/ Reilly had said,- he was sorry the High Sheriff had, left the room, but could not avoid expressing his surprize, that the High - Sheriff shauWMvespolcen, as he conceived, so unconstitutionally, as tp throw any refleflisn or impediment, in the way of the frequent use of the Elertive franchise. • Mr- Potter— Mr. Reilly did not say unconsti- tutionally. ' Mr. Pottinger— I am persuaded he did; or some . expression to the same purport. If this were a proper place to propose a bet, I could bet five or ten guineas on it, and leave the decision to Mr. W. Reilly. t am nearly certain he used" the word— unconstitutional. Mr. Rutbven— It cannot have been considered to have been a County Meeting, but a mere trick and pretence at one. Mr. Potter— It was not stated or called a Coun- ty Meeting. . Mr. Pattinger— The Address Mr. Crawford proposed to Mr. Savage, was stated to be the Ad- dress of the Grand Jurors, " or following Gran^ Jurors, Freeholders and others, assembled at Lent Assizes, 1812." Mr. Potter— The Freeholders were not men- tioned. Mr. Pottinger— Inhabitants or others, were, if Freeholders were sot; the trick intended was to impose it on Mr. Savage and the public as a Courr* ty Meeting, and so I stated at the time. BELLINGHAM.

It is difficult to avoid the imputation of having- considerably exagerated,' in giving the . following short account of this very extraordinary gentlewoman. We should scarcely make a staie- • rirent, apparently so incredible, although we have unquestionable authority for so doing, if the con- tiguity of her residence, and a great number o. living witnesses, did not afford opportunities to the curious and inquisitive, of ascertaining its truth. Mrs, Crawford attained the age of 115 years, she was 18 years old on the ' 22d of April 1715, which • day she recollerted perfeflly, to the hour of her death, as it was rendered remarkable by the total eclipse of the sun, during which, we are histori-' cally informed of the darkness being so great, that the stiirs faintly appeared, and the birds went-, to roost in the morning about ten o'clock. In jhat year too, she was married to her first hus- band, Jas. Smyth, Eeq'' bf" the County of Leitiim.. She retained all her faculties unimpaired to. the end of her life, and could see to the las;, without difficulty, both to read and sew withsut requiring apy aid from spertacles. She was in the habit of. occasionally'walking two- miles to" prayers. Her • complexion was clear, healthy,; and blooming ; her eyes', lively and animated ; her'nianner, cheerful and . affable ; in short, the tout • ensemble of her countenance, her figure and her address, would rather inculcate,..^. belief that she had not attained her twentieth year, than that ghtf had nearly c- om- . plsted six scoref What remains Co bt; told is DO less singular than true, and perhaps not less true than gratifying, as - it. prnve* that the ( Pleasure*, of Hope" may sometimes be indulged in at any 1 period, however advanced, uf human life :— sue!} was . the all- conquering power of her beauty, an< f such the irresistible force of her charms, that wkhin the last twenty years, not less than two ma- • trimonial overtures have been made to this mo, dern Hebe, by gentlemen of considerable pro, perty, both of which, however, contrary to the wishes of her friends, she thonght proper to de- cline. Her chararter through, life was amiable, and at her death she was pious, composed and re- signed. She lived amidst a great number of her descendants, by all of whom she is much legret- ted.— Gal- way Chronicle.
