' FROM THE LONDON COURIER, OP DEC 3. Dublin, Friday Wght, Nov. 30. The outrages to which I made allusion in my last letter, of the burning of a church in the county of Kerry, is no longer a mat ter Of doubt, The following paragraph from the Limerick Chronicle of Wednes day, affords the fullest confirmation of this sacrilegious atrocity. " Burning of a Church. On Fiiday night some villains maliciously set fire to the Parish Church of Knockanei near Killarney in the united diocese of Ard fert, and totally consumed it, with aj num ber of Bibles and Prayer Books contained therein, j The Church-vVardens of the parish were also threatened, a few: days before, with either loss of life or property, if they did not desist from collecting the church cess " A Privy Council was to have assembled at the Castle to day ; but its sitting has been postponed to next Thursday the 6th instant. The Yeomanry of Dublin have not, as was stated in' some of yesterday's : jour nals been called out. An nrW was issued on Wednesday, directing that one captain, three lieuten-j ants, one drummer, and 120 rank and file, of the Belturbet Yeomanry, should immediately be placed on permanent dutv. j . ' Just as we were going to press we re ceived thejresolutions of the metrting of the mairislrates and gentlemen of the Barony of iBulratty, held at Newmarket on Fergus, on Monday last, the Earl Mount Charles in the chair. The state of the comity occasioned this meeting. Ennis .Chronicle. ; About 3 o'clock yesterday morning, a barn and haggard, the property, we learn of a Mr. jCuffee, were burnt near Jie north-east foot of Sliebuman mountain, beyond xSipe-mile-House, close- by j Kil Iemry, and just within the bounds of the county of Kilkenny. Clomnel Herald. A notice has bee addressed td the brother of the unfortunate Shea, who perished with his family and the inmates of his humble dwelling, bv the bands ol midnight incendiaries, requiring him to abandon the possession of some lands, held under circumstances somewhat simi lar to thosei which excited the horriden geance of his brother's murderers. '-Kilkenny paper. Sunday night last, the house of a :ma:i of the name of Redly, at Churchlown, very near Newcastle, was. attacked by a parly of insurgents. One of the persons in the house escaped unseen, and made his way into the barracks of he 40th -regiment. Col. Balfour instantaneously turned out a party, and succeeded in ap prehending three of the assailants, who are fully identified. Cork paper. In consequence of a Requisition from the Magistrates, there was a meeting last Friday of the inhabitants of the town of Tipperary,-when nearly eighty most re spectable'mdividuals tendered their ser vices, and ivere enrolled as special con stables, in j order to -maintain a nijhtly watch, andjto prevent the contagion of the bordering disturbed counties from being introduced in their vicinity. Cloii mel Advertiser. l i i Attempted Assassination of Licuianant iraters. J We stated the rumored murder of Lieutenant br Captain Wafers in a late communication. The subjoined, from the last Cork papers, are on the subject: " Captain Waters, a most inoffensive gentleman, ;who has been for some time past on the half pay establishment, was, on the night before last fired at and wounded, (mortally it is feared.) He was on his way home to his residence near Newmarket at the time he was at tacked. So Uule hope was entertained , of his recovery, that Mrj Dattera, one of j the Coroners, is now (three o'clock) on his way to hold an inquest. We have seen a letter from a Magistrate in j the . p.eighborhood, who describes himself, . and all around him, in th&utmost alarm. We shall hdre . make some extracts from the most respectable of the Dublb papers: , ! A special commission consisting of Judges Daly, Jebb, Burton, (of the King's Bench, Moore and Johnson, (of the Com mon Pleas,) and Mr. Baron McCIHland, have been appointed to try oflenders in the disturbed counties. These judges will open their , com mission ahd com mence their labors in the city of Lime rick, the county and city of Cork, the I counties of Tipperary, Kerry, and Clare, j au mc vuecu s couaiy. ; l We regret to learn, that the house of Michael Aylmer, Esd iif the county of Kildare, was attacked for arms, and other turbulent inlica'tions have been manifes ted in the same county. j From the Dublin Patriot of TJiursday last. Orders went down last 'night to put j on permanent duty 600 men, of the brigade of yeomanry, in the county of Armagh of which Col. Blacker is the strnoir officer THREE DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. i ' I New-York, February 9i . The ship Robert Fulton, Capt. Hol dridge, arrived below last evening in 133 days from Liverpool, by which the Edi tor ol the National Advocate has received regular files of London papers to the eve ning of the 4th of January, and the Liv erpool Saturday's Advertiser of the 5th. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. An article contained in the Paris pa pers from Leipsic, and dated 17th Dec. states " theniussians had passed the s Piuth, and that war had broken out." This statement is corroborated. by letters from Utrecht, of the 23d December, j in wiiich it is said " that war has been. for mally declared between Russia and Tur- key, and that inielh&ence might be eje- pected soon to arrive X)t tlie first acts lot hostility." 1 nere can be no doubt t that the sord has been unsheathed. When it can be restored to its scabbard, no one can tell. . i Considerable rise took i place in the funds in London on the 3d January, in consequence of a rumor that the differ ences between Russia and the Porte had been adjusted. On this the Courier re marks, there is not the least foundation of these reports. No such advices have been received." - " j Accounts from Vienna of the 30th Dec. mention the assassination of the Sultan, in an insurrection of the Janissaries; but this afterwards appeared to be a stock- jobbing rumour, as no such event had taken place. -The Austrian and British. Ambassadors are stated to have recom mended to the Divan the unqualified ac ceptance of the Russian ultimatum. But this the Sultan positively refused. He would not consent, he said,' to the Greek church being reinstated till perfect tran quility was restored ; and as to Walla chia and Moldavia, he should never agree that they should be given" up to be occu pied either byGreeks or Russians. On being reminded, that war would be the consequence of his refusal, he replied that the Turks coqld never be conquered with swords in their hands.; Intelligence had been received , from Genoa that Lesser Wallachia had been e vacuated by the Ottoman troops, and that the Turkish frontiers on the Austri an side were unprovided with the means of defence as in times of the most pro found peace. Jassv has been entered by fresh troops belonging to the Poite, and the Russian artillery had : crossed the Dnieper and advanced towards the Pruth. Every thing indicated a most determined and. bloody contest. Although the accounts of an insurrec tion at Constantinople appear to have been unfounded, ft is certain that the most barbarous massacres of the Greeks had been renewed. " These excesses, says the Courier, are ascribed entirely to the sailors landed from the Turkish fleet which arrived from the Archipelago.-r-They brought 30 Greek vessels, as pri zes, and on their passing Seraglio Point, these barbarians hung ori each yard-arnl 3 or, 4 Greeks, as trophies of victory'; the crews were afterwards allowed to go on shore, where they were guilty of the greatest cruelties." The Paris papers, referring to these reLe wed cruelties, say, on the authority of accounts from Vien na, jhat rivers of blood have flowed ai Constantinople ; and it was even asserted, though the account wanted confirmation, that two Ambassadors bad lost their lives. SPAIN. The Cortes presented an address to to the King of S;ain on the 21st Decem ber, in which they implored him to dis miss his ministers, as a measure essential to the public tranquility. Ferdinand is stated to have returned a laconic answer, and to have promised to take the request into consideration. It" was thought he would submit it to the council of state. His Ministess are said to have tendered their resignations, but he had refused to accept them. It does not appear from the Spanish papers that the country is in that disturbed state which accounts from other quarters had represented. A few agitators, and enemies of the constitution al system had been endeavoring to excite disturbances, but this was confined to a narrow space, ahd their designs were ef fectually frustrated. FRANCE. we have little tp notice respecting France. The new ministrywere occu pied with making arrangements conse quent on their accession to power. The funds had undergone considerable varia tion, and the; Courier remarks that this indicated "the existertceof political cau ses connected either with domestic or fo reign policy." In reply, the aVJormng Chronicle observes, " we are unwilling to pronounce an anticipatory judgment on the present trench Ministry. - We cannot help, however, observing that their pledge to compensate the emigrants for their losses is of itself sufficient to ex cite an apprehension in France far from favorable to the public credit. ! Without realasing this pledge they cannot expect the support of their party ; and by real ising it to such anextent as would satisfy that party, they would inflict a very seri ous blow'on the J? rench finances." : GREAT BRITAIN. The ferment, if we may judge from the tone of the papers by this arrival, tcaucu c iu ireranu, nas greany subsided. It appears, indeed, that the greaie.r pari oi wnat was lately said as to that country being in a state of actual re bellion, turns out to be unfounded. The meeting of the English Parlia ment has been prorouged to the 5tli of r eoruary. A vessel had arrived at the Cove of Cork, Ireland, from Lima having 300,000 dollars, exclusive of silver bars, on board, for account of Lord Cochrane.! This is stated to be the second precious impor tation for the same distinguished charac ter, a vessel having lately landed at Ply mouth a quantity of silver, estimated at 100,000. sterling. ! - A further reduction has taken place of the Clerks in t!-- Bank of England. Washington Citf, Feb. 11. OFFICIAL LETTER. ; U. S. Schooner Porpoise off the North Coast of Cuba, I 20th January, 1822. Sra : Having completed the necessa ry equipments or this vessel at New Or leans on the 7th inst. and previously giv en public notice that I should sail from the Balize on the 10th, with con voy, I have the honor to inform you that I proceeded to sea on the day appointed, with five sail under my protection. On the 15th having seen the vessels bound to Havana and xMatanzas safe to their des tined ports, I marie all sail fo .the west ward, and on the following day boarded the brig Bolina, of Boston, Gorham waster, from hom I received the follow ing information : That, on the day pre vious, his vessel was captured by pirates, and robbed of every material they could carry away with them, at the same time treating the crew and himself with inhu man cruelty. After supplying him from this vessel with whit necessaries he re quired, I made sail for the Ianci,!and ear ly the following morning, (Saddle Hill on the north coast of Cuba, then bearing S. by E.) 1 dispatched our boats, with forty men, under command of Lieut. Curtis, in pursuit of these enemies of th$ human race. The boats baving crossed the reef, which here extends a considerable; dis tance from the shore, very soon discov ered, chased, and captured a piratical schooner, the crew of which made their escape to the woods. Lieut. Curtis yery judiciously manned the prize from pur boats, and proceeded about 10 miles to leward, where, it was understood, "the principal depot of these marauders was established, " . This, he fortunately dis covered and attacked. A light skirmish here took place, but as our force advanced. the opposing parfy precipitately retreated We then took' possession, and burnt and. destroyed their fleet, consisting of j five vessels one of them a beautiful new itooner, of about 60 tons, ready iots&9 with the exception of her sails. We alio took three prisoners ; the others fled to the woods". . In this affair just mentioned the ofS cers of.the expedition state the enemy's loss to be severe. Only one man was wounded in our boats and it is worthy of remark, that this man was one of their own gang, then a prisoner in our posses sion, and surrounded by our people. The destruction of this place will, I trust, be of some service. From inor matlon by me received, it was their prin cipal depot, from whence they dispatched' squadrons to Cape Antonio. These re turning, loaued with plunder, it was tran tit . . . shipped to Havana in vessels sent from there for that purpose. Stores and ma not terials were collected on the spot, only for repairing but for building sels. s'. . The prisoners now on board are re cognised.by a seamen in my possession, who was one of the crew of the English ship Alexander, of Greenock, 'lately burnt by these pirates; and, not content with destroying the vesssel, they inhu manly butchered her unfortuntale com mander. The seaman in question I re tain as an evidence in the case. Lieut. Curtis speaks in the highest terms of the gallantry and good conduct of Mipshipmen Piukney, Kingston, and Morris ; as also of Doctor Terrill, and every other officer and man employed in the expedition. Nothing could exceed their ardor in pursuit but either enthusi asm in attack, and both aflordiog abun dant proof that more -would have been done bad more been required. I have manned. one Of the schooners? taken, a very fine fast sailing vessel, and I keep her with me. She will-prove of great service in mv farther operations on this coast. I cannot close this letter, sir. without naming to you Lieut. Curtis, whose con- i . . t duct not' only in the present instance. but in every other respect, during the pe- noa ne nas Deen mirjer ny command. has merjited my warm and decided Sp- probation. I have the honor to be, &c. JAMES RAMAGE. Honorable Smith Thompson, Secretary of the Navy. V THr; LATE NEWS. ;.The following remarks by Paul Allen, will be read with pleasure. Amidst the rubbish of rumour nfFonW by the1 last arrival, it is difficult to fir nn any ajlicle a predominating character that bears sthe stamp of authenticity. With regard to the Russian monarchy, who Tiiay be now politically speakinr. styled the turning point in the destiny of curope, nis steps appear to be dark, mysterious, and incurable. The Per sians are stated to have declared war a gainst the Turks, and Alexander is sup posed to be the secret mover of 'this hos tility.; Bc(bre we endeavour to speculate on this incident, the previous point should be first ascertained,' .has Persia actually decjared war against lurkey, and of this there is nothing rribre th$rn conjectural evidence. A bloody enameraent is ru mored to have teken nlflce between the i Curkish and the Grecian fleets, in which)' the latter ae represented as victorious ; the remains of the Grand Sultan's navy, are rumoured to have sought and found protection in Z.ante, one of the Ionian I Isles, and placed under the protection of Lngland. Yyhether this intelligence be true or false, there can be no doubt that the English Ministry look with a jealous? eye on the onhe struggles of Greece, for the recovery of her ancient independence. She considers Russia, of whose growth she feels just and well founded alarms, as a secret, partner in this political , con test : that Alexander is only preparing his way for the seizure of Constantino ple. 1 This conviction on the minds of the British ministry has made them clin ical to every efibrt, and has brought a strange and unnatural union between the. crerent and the cross. Rumours' and re ports of a most terrific chaiacter assail us also from the Spanish Peninsula. It is said that Madrid is on the eve of a most terrific! revolution. The fact on wnich this formidable assertion is made, ap pears to be this, that the people deroan.. nVrl th 'Hs&micsinn nf lh Kinp'l ir)WlS- a demand with which " his Majesty refused a compliance.
