Mr i• i AMERICAN PAPERS. Extract of a letter frost aarleston, Jan. 21. " It is reported that the French Government has determined to send Commissioners to Hayti, to treat with the existing authorities there, and it isexpected that our Government will take suitable measures to secure every commercial prrivilege at that im portant island which may be granted to the French, British, or any o.her nation." FROM PensAirot,s, DEC 25.—We learn from unquestionable authority, that the President the united States appr:: ves the conduct of Governor Jackson in the affair of Callava throughout; and further, that the President considers Frimentitt's jurisdiction exclusively confined to the laws in re lation to the revenue and slave trade BoSToN, JAN. 15.—The navigation continues open ; the ice has been driven out of the river by a north-west wind ; all the outward-bound vessels have sailed. Ti,e friends of the late Napoleon Buonaparte, re siding in New Orleans, walked in procession on the 19th Dec. to the Catholic Church, which was hung with black on the occasion, and a funeral service was performed. We find from the Dublin Papers that the enor milks in the South of Ireland still continue, and with unabating fury. Other murders have been committed, of a most inhuman and daring descrip tion. On Saturday se'nnight, so early as tour o'clock in the evening, a man, of the mime of Shea, was murdered in the town of Tipperary, by four villains, who killed him with stones, and who es caped, though pursued by the officers of p Ike. The servant of a magistrate was shot dead a few days ago, near Garrantree Castle, in the county of Lime k, and it is rather remarkable that this is the finirth murder committed at the same place, and probably by the same parties. Fifteen Whiteboys were tried and convicted in Cork on Tuesday week, befitre the Special Commission, and on the day after three others were found guilty. A daring attack was made on Monday se'nnight on the barracks at' Abbeyfeale, in the county of Limerick, by a nume rous body of insurgents, who soon demolished the building. A meeting has been hcld by the magis trates, at which it has been unanimously resolved to apply to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to place the entire of the county under the provisions of the Insurrection Act.—Sentence of death was passed on Friday night, at Cork, on 35 Whiteboys, convicted of crimes before the Special Commission. The learned Judge Minuted to the delinquents that a selection had been made of their casethat some of theta were to undergo an ignominious death, at an early day, and that the existence of the oihers would be prolonged to a more distant period, and if tranquillity was restored, and there was a sur render of arms, they would he soared. Bfolll the present temper of the deluded peasantry, we fear those to whom the learned Judge alluded retain their lives on a slender and uncertain tenure. The three men found guilty of the murder of Hugh Cologan, on the day the Churchtown barracks were burned, were ordered for exeeutiou ou Monday last. At a meeting of the magistrates of the County of Cork, it was agreed to send a memorial to the Mar quis Wellesley, flir the extension ut the Insurrection Art to the entire county. The city magistrates have agreed to make a similar request for the city. The Dublin Evening PL/Si remarks, that the accounts of outrages in the interior of Ireland are grossly and shamefully exaggerated. Saturday last the Special Commission in the City of Cork closed hs labours, at least for the present, and the judges took their departure, escorted by a squadron of dragoons. On the same day a shop keeper of the name of Heffernan was tried tar having sold gunpowder, knowingly for the use of the in surgents. He was convicted tat the evidence of a witness employed fir the purpose of detecting him, to whom he sold ganpowder and flints, as the pri soner supposed, fur the use of the Whiteboys. In the course of the cross-examination of the witness. Air. Connel endeavoured to extract from him, that the whole was a plan to entrap Heffernan, in which the learned counsel had no difficulty. The prisoner was tried on the act of the !e7th of his late .Majesty, which makes it criminal to take arias or levy mo ney, and equally criminal to sui.ply ammunition to those who entertaihed such a purpose. It was a crime pun;shable by death, as in cases of felony, without benefit of clergy. The Attorney-General, however concluded with observing, that it might be contentla that the pi isoner's case did not come within the meaning of the statute, as the ammuni tion in question had nut bc.tt in reality sold to the Whitt:boys but to a person opposed to them. This had originally created some doubts in his mind, but they had been removed by his colleagues. The case being proved in evinence, the prisoner was found gtoity , but the court reserved the point for the consideration of the twelve ju.lges. The case of the uufurtunate ILffernan was the first that tied been tried under the act. a :4 . TIM NATIONAL REGISTER LONDON FASHIONS FOR MARCH.

CAIIIIIUDOIt COUNTY MEETINO.—A numerous meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of Cam bridgeshire was held on Thursday last, pursuant to a requisition to the High Sheriff; " to take into consideration the present disastrous state of the agricultural interest, and the propriety of petition. ing Parliament fur Pryme moved resolutions for a petition to Parliament for relief. The Rev. G. A. Browne doubted the expediency of a petition without Nome mention of reform. Mr. F. K. Eagle, after a short address moved as an amendment to the original resolution's — That from what has taken place during the present and preceding sessions, it is the Mut and decided opinion of this meeting, that any petition to the Lower House of Parliament. as, at present constituted, for relief from time difficulties under which the nation is sinking, would be entirely vain and tiuit- Mr. Sam. Wells seconded the amendment. Mr. Beals read a letter written by the Duke ut Bedford, in which the Noble Duke declared that it was useless to petition the 1-1 use of Commons as it is now con stituted, fur their petitions were year after year disregarded, and thrown aside as waste paper.— The High Sheriff put the amendment, which was carried by a considerable majority, coosequently the resolutions for a petition fell to the ground. Thanks were voted to the High Sheriff, who returned his acknowledgments, after which the meeting was dis ked veil. The Society of Ancient Britons dined on Friday at the Freemasons' hall, after having previously attended divine service at St. James's church, Pic cadilly, and paraded in the usual born), in honour of the anniversary of St. David, the tutelar Cambrian saint. The Duke of Wellington presided upon the occasion. After the healths of the King, the Duke of York and the Army, and the Duke of Clarence and the Navy, and other usual toasts, were drank, " Prosperity to the Society" was proposed by his Grace, and drank with three times three. The ' children of the Society were introduced, and sang an ode composed expressly for the ()evasion. A collection then took place in the room, and a considerable suin was received. Several appropriate songs and glees were sung. The healths of the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord King, Lord Kenyon, the Bishop of Chester, toe Vice-Presidents, and other members of the society, were drunk, dud they seve rally returned thanks. Lord Kenyon, the treasurer, then announced the various autos subscribed on be halt of the charity that day, amounting aitogelher to I,OISI. 19s.

Thursday last being appointed for the battle be ' tween Acton and Kendrick, the black, it was a day of much bustle in the pugilistic fancy, as two other battles were also nominated for the day's play—. Acton had once been beat by the black, and both were considered as men high on the list. There was a rare set ot.t on the road of every description of vehicle that could be placed upon wheels, moved on by prads of every sort and size, from the highest mettled blood and bone to the roarers, that a knacker would scarcely stand half a beam each for. Arlington Corner public-house, on Hounslow-heath, was the receptable for commoners, but the Magpies was head-quarters for the swells, and in Ten Acre Field, down a lane contiguous, the ring was made. All was between hope and surpense until between. one and two o'clock, when an enemy, one Trimmer, chewed himself from ambush, garbed with civil au thority, and removed the torces by word of corn. muna, with only their blessings left behind. The next start was tor Moulsey, and many turned sulky and abandoned the chase, griatnsing the meddler of their spurts in blue ruin and heavy met. The ring was made at Moulsey, and soon after three o'clock the men entered, and the disparagement in size was Lull 201bs. in favour of the black.
