POLITICAL EVENTS.-JAN. 1, 1823.

GREAT BRITAIN.

THE 4th of next month is fixed for the meeting of Parliament, and the Session is expected to be one of the most interesting which has been held for many years. Occurrences on the Continent, the rising of the Holy Alliance Congress, and the State of Spain, will be so noticed, as to bring somewhat of fact, instead of rumour, before the public, and thereby contribute to allay an anxious feeling, prevalent upon these subjects.

Accounts from Ireland still mention outrages committed by bands of whiteboys and armed parties, that plunder farm-houses and set fire to hay and corn-stacks. The number of these depredations, however, is not great, and, on the whole, it appears that the state of the country is improving. The Viceroy has removed upwards of two hundred magistrates; and in their place, residents and persons of greater efficiency, have been nominated to office. The conduct of the Marquis Wellesley, in endeavouring to soothe religious animosities, and to place the sober and well-behaved of all religious professions on a footing, has aroused the Orange faction to a pitch of madness. Its exclusive loyalty and high-sounding professions, have changed to insult and calumny, against the representative of their monarch; and the party that has so long been spreading trouble and desolation throughout Ireland, has furnished a standard whereby to estimate its intrinsic merits. On the evening of the 14th ult. his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant attended the Theatre, and was well received by the audience, who generally testified their satisfaction by loud demonstrations of applause. It soon appeared, however, that a party had attended the house for the sole

purpose of insulting the Viceroy, and that the partizans of the Orange faction were the disturbers of the peace. The prohibition of the useless annual farce, of dressing the Statue of King William, on the 4th of November, seems to have been the provocation; and the performance commenced under the hissings and hootings of the offended Orangemen. Placards, with calumnious inscriptions and pasquinades, were distributed, attacking the noble Marquis; ana at last a bottle was thrown from the gallery, followed by other missiles, and his Excellency narrowly escaped from personal injury. The police remained inactive spectators, until the mischief was over, and some private individuals began to take an active part in apprehending the offend

ers.

Two of the most guilty of them have been lodged in custody. A requisition was sent to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, to which three hundred signatures were attached, requesting that a public meeting might be called on the subject of the outrage. The neutrality preserved by the police on the occasion, has been severely animadverted upon, and some members of that body have been discharged. Indeed, it appears, that some of the corporation itself are outrageous devotees to the ridiculous party-doctrines, that occasion these heart-burnings in the country. Neither the dictates of justice or common sense, the example of royalty, nor the hand of the Magistrate, has cooled any portion of the fanaticism of these ignorant and narrow-spirited men, of which it would be a good operation were the city of Dublin to purge itself.

The Hon. W. Hill, the British Plenipotentiary at Turin, is nominated to
