SPIRIT OP MR JOURNALS. Truss.—The accounts from Ireland are distressing. The tr pie in same parts of the south are described to be in such destitntion, j that fears were entertained within these few days for the provision gloms at Clonmel ; and troops were called out to intimidate the wretched multitude. Now we had been aware of the existence considerable suffering in remote districts of Ireland, and for its unabated continuance in such quarters there may have been some excuse, because of the forlorn state of the country, from the scanty number of resident inhabitants above the condi tion of paupers; but what shall we say to the unrelieved fa. mine at Clonmel, the chief town of one of the wealthiest counties in Ireland,—ltself a place of great and increasing ref. fie, full of rich tradesmen, merchants, and retired persona of independent means; in the midst of a country, moreover, thickly planted with residences of noblemen and gentlemen, sports. men, fashionable men, politicians, jobbers, wealthy graziers, with their thousands of high-fed cattle, while their fellow Christians are wholls , without food I , —what shall we say to this Tipperary Baby lon, for leaving the poorer brethren of its mercantile and landed po tentates no alternative but that of perishing by hunger, the sword, or the gallows ? There are many worthy persons who seem not to understand how a people can be so extensively miserable as the Irish, when such vast cargoes of corn and cattle are incessantly exported from its harbours. " Ireland not support her people I" they cry.— " Why she feeds a fourth or fifth of the English nation, who, o course, cannot be served until after the Trish themselves shall have been satisfied." In that "of course" there is a good deal of • • - and of ignorance. It is, to be sure, pretty accurate in the abstract, that one nation sends only its superfluous articles to others, and supplies its own wants first : but it is not true of Ireland, inasmuch as the people of England can better afford to pay for Irish produce in the British markets, with the charges of conveyance, insurance, &c. added, than the poor of Ireland can afford to pay the prime cost o those provisions. The export of provisions from Ireland, there fore, is no more a proof that there can be no distress in Ireland, than the export of fine Bordeaux wine from France demonstrates that the French peasantry must first have got their fill of the growths o Lafitte or Chateau Margaux. The poor Irishman never thinks o such a luxury as wheaten bread, any more than he would of venison. Ile cannot even buy potatoes, and when he fails to raise them he starves. Is it not among the most dreadful facts in history, that the lords of the soil of Ireland should for ages have witnessed this degraded condition of their serfs, without (we do not say a wish, but) a serious and systematic effort at anyriod of the last two cen turies, to amend it ? We really do feel t ha t Mr. Martin's Act, for " punishing cruelty to animals," would be the species of retribution most applicable to the conduct of a large proportion of Irish land lords towards their poorer tenants, if even their physical treatment be kept in view. But we lose our time ; the offenders are too nume. rota to be shamed into virtue, and as yet too powerful to be coin. pelled. Nevertheless, it is not long before " time sad the hour" shall bend them to humanity. HILZALD.—A Ministerial Paper states that the Government ex pects to gain 93 votes by the change of Members which will take place on the next general election. The same organ, however, does not add whether these expectations are founded on its popularity or its influence. Calculations are sometimes more minute than scat rate ; and we wonder that, for the sake of appearances, the Paper in question did not throw the odd seven into the scale, and make the whole a round hundred, instead of this over-laboured accuracy Of 93. We are among the number of those who would wish to see the Government popular with the country ; but then real popu larity is a matter which admits of no cavilling. The country at large is not the public of Downing-street, Whitehall, or Clubs. It is not the interested and fulsome adulation which the parasites and expechints of Ministers offer to their official Divinities which constitutes the popularity of a Govern ment, but the satisfaction which the great body of the people feel at their measures. Is that satisfaction felt on account of the measures of the present ministry ? We answer, No. Can a mere new election alter that feeling ? Certainly not. Can a minis. try expect to go on, even with the most subservient Parliament, with the voice of the people against them ? Again and again we would answer that it is impossible ; or, even were it possible, it would be most injurious and unwise to attempt it. To talk, then, of adding nineties, or'even hundreds, to their majorities, with the voice of the people against them, what does it prove but either a reckless indifference to public opinion, or that an implied appeal to the people, in the shape of a general election, is, in fact, a rank delusion ? There is a way, and a very easy one, by which any Ministry, competent to their duties, might have both the Parliament and the people with them ; and that is, by se dulously and honestly informing themselves of what the real wants and situation of the country are, and by fairly meeting Its wants and difficulties, instead of denying the existence of dangers and embarrassments which they have not attempted to avert or repair. In a free country public opinion is, and ought to be, the true source of power. ()wing to the present vicious state the representation, another source of power may be resorted to foe a time • but it can only be for a time , and bespeaks for it self a rea ction which no wise Goverment would think of un necessarily encountering. The difficulties and perplexities the present Administration have been mainly of their own cre ating. They have originated in an ignorance of the real state o things, and an unwillingness to be informed. Such a course cannot be long persisted in. Knowledge will force itself upon them, in spite of their disinclination to receive it ; and we augur better our new Monarch than to believe that he will long continue any set of men in office who will attempt to govern or rely upon servile majo. rides in Parliament, unbacked by the honest feeling and general voice of the country. Canowlets.—lt is allowed on all hands that the ministry can not hope to conduct the business of the nation to advantage without throwing out several Members, and receiving an accession of others skilled in the business of the country, and able to defend the course they may deem it adviseable to adopt. If the Duke of Wellington thinks that he can long withstand the effect produced by a display of inefficiency in parliament, be will soon discover his mistake. It is not, Indeed, creditable to his discernment, that he did not, on the first display of the incapacity of his subalterns, endeavour to remedy the evil without loss of time, to prevent the public from associatim, so generally, incapacity with his cabinet. When delay only adds to difficulty, promptitude in resolution is a proof of wisdom. If Mr. Huskisson and Lord Palmerston and 111 r. Grant possess the unyielding character attributed to them, former Administrations must have been singularly acquiescent ; for Mr. liuskisson, who is more particularly charged with impracticableness, has, somehow or other, contrived to have a pretty long tenure of office, and never was supposed to be very anxious to be out of place. We can easily COD. ceive, however, thit the same qualities which would render Mr. iluskisson a more resolute defender In the House of Commons the measures of the Cabinet than Mr. Goulbuin, might also ten der him somewhat more tenacious of his opinions in the Cabinet.— . To some quartz, however, the Duke must have recourse. It will not do to say that Mr. Huskisaon and his party hang together; that the Whigs are best on the Opposition Benches. The heron in the fable, while the fish were leaping, saw none exactly to her mind, but the sun ceased to shine, and she could no longer see any. It is no doubt more gratifying to self-love to have a yielding than an anyielding Cabinet ; but the first point is to have a Cabinet, of which the existence is not in constant danger.— Is it true that if a Cabinet' numbered among Its members all the distinguished men of the day, " and were only opposed by such a race as now compose it, there would be the utmost diffirtilty in t e yelil i Nh t ecira h rhaou l tyot i rnte g l d ad;r" i gtoNcirraet i chtsluvrP:oteantourets3ta l g t. o d f this. It strikes us that the House of Lords is essentially a beg. garly assembly. The great Houses, and some others, can afford to be independent ; but the great body of the Peers cannot afford to keep a conscience. The House of Lords is power. ful only when it unites with the crown in plundering the people. It is strengthened by the accession of all the overgrown for tunes of the country; but then it cannot throw out the pose members ; and the vote of a peer with 100 L a year counts for as much as the vote of the Duke of Northumberland or the Marquess of Stafford. The very rich peers are few in number; the great body, on the other hand, are poor and embarrassed, and when it is considered that the incomes of the whole of the peerage, rich and poor, from their private estates, are only between two and three mil lions a-year,—nay, that a very able writer, who had access to official information ' (Dr. Beck,) some years ago assigned to the whole of the Aristocracy of the county, moneyed and landed, calculated at 12,080 families, an income of 15,900,0001 we can be at little loss to understand how immense the power over such a body must be, possessed by the dispensers of a revenue of fifty millions, with the power of appointing to numberless situations be sides in our Colonies scattered over the whole globe. The purchase of the House of Peers Is, of course, necessary to every Govannsene but purchased it must and always will be. Were the House to t sum Pnzed exclusively of rich Noblemen, (such as many of these the whig opposition,) the Government could no more go on, tt it could go on with a House of Peers which did not return a , proportion of the House of Commons. THE ARMY. The out-posts of the sth and 60th Rits will exchange on Tuesday next. • The Carbineers, 74th Regiment, and reserve of 15th Infatory fired a feu-de.jole, at Cork on Thursday, to celebrate the accession of King William the Fourth.

DErow PORT, JULY 3—On Tuesday the whole of the troops in this garrison (with the exception of the Royal Artillery, under Colonel Pym, distributed among the batteries) assembled on Mount Wise, to celebrate the secession of King William IV. The line consisted of the Royal Marines the Depot of the 18th Royal Iri s h, the 22d, 29th, 4341, 73d, 11.5 th, Marina, 08th Regiments. Major.tieneral Sir John Cameron, with his Staff; arrived on the ground at ten o'clock, when the batteries on Mount Wise commenced firing a royal salute. These were followed by the guns of St. Nicholas's Island and the Citadel, the shipping in Harbour, Barnpool, between the Island and Main, and in the Sound. A. soon as the great guns bad ceased, the troops fired a feu de joie, and presented arms with the colours dropped, the bards and drums playing in salute God Sane Me King. The whole line then gave three animated cheers, in which the troops were joined by an immense assemblage of the people. The colours during the day were hoisted staff high, but on Wednesday they were again dropped so balf-staff—Devonport Telegraph. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Triton, from Havannah to the Canaries, is mentioned as having been captured, tarried into St. Michael's, and condemned. Another vessel, the Planter, an American, had been treated in the same manse', the condemnation, however, being not foe breaking the blockade, but for whale-fishing between Bt. Michael's and Terceira. It is not made apparent by any of the accounts in what manner this was made a justifiable ground of csptuas, nor are any details given of the other cases which have occurred. Extract of a letter, dated Cape of Good Hope, March 29, 1830:" We shall sail as soon as the season opens, as the . Brazilian slave trade is inactivity. I fear the French may cover all in a short time, but we may do something first. Every thing at the Cape and at Mauritius, as far as regards the public service, is going on remarkably well; but, at the latter place, every article is dreadfully dear. There are so very many mails lest and taken on, that we lose many letters: one person lay six sacks at Table Bay, and took his English mail and official despatches on to Mauritius." ,—Portostoodi Herald. On Friday, the Sandwich arrived from Lisbon ; she left the Tagus on the 20th of June. The state of Portugal is re. ,presented as being most deplorable; trade is at a stand, and gene ral discontent prevails.

Extract of a letter addressed to his 'Excellency the Minister of of Marine and Colonies, hy Admiral Duperre. On board the Provence, Bay of Sidi Fennell, Jane 26. Different engagements took place with the enemy the day before yesterday, and yesterday, the 24th and 25th. The army has ad. vaned. I informed you, in my letter of the 93d, that the two last di. visions of the convoy were delayed by westerly winds. The wind shifted to the east towards evening the day before yes terday, and the two divisions arrived yesterday morning. The greater part of the horses remaining were landed during the day, as well as different articles in the engineer department. This arrival, which terminates all the expeditions made by the marine department, is very fortunate, for yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, the wind, though blowing fresh from the east, by an extraordinary and instantaneous change shifted to the west. For three hours it blew a gale, and a heavy swell, as usual, was the consequence. The weather is fair this morninf, but the wind continues W. and W.N.W. and the sea is very agitated. I feared some damage would have been sustained by the vessels of the con voy, which were scarcely moored. There have been none, or at least they have been very slight. This bad weather will delay the unloading a little, but the delay will only affect the stores and pre visions, which will be landed Won they can be wanted. The offi cers of the forces, bpth military and naval, use in these troublesome labours an extraordinary and very laudable seal. I hive served out 80,000 kilogrammes of biscuit to the army, which the commander had demanded from me. We shall soon experience a want of provisions. The expeditionary army remained a month on board the vessels. Its consumption, in consequence the great number of passengers, has been almost doubled. I have requested the prefect of Toulon to cause provisions for two months to be prepared, which will be despatched in different vessels which lam about to detach to Toulon. But it is the biscuits of which the consumption has been greatest. It would be proper to furnish all biscuit, and no flour at all. Ibe you will give orders to that effect. We find no means of replacing our water. I have also sent for some of that necessary ; some transports might bring it to us. I shall send them all to Toulon afier they unload. My despatches are sent by the brig Capricieuse. Accept, Arc. The Vice-Admiral Commander.in.Chief of the Naval Forces, DUPERRE. To his Excellency the President of the Council of Ministers. Camp of Sidi-Khalef, June 25. Ponces,---.I had the honour to give you an account in my last despatch of the motives which had prevented me from causing the army to advance from the camp of Sidi-Khasi. Our immobility raised the hopes of the enemy. On the 24th, at day-break, the Turks and Arabs presented thmsolves, occupying a very extended front, and still with no less order than on the 19th. Every mew. sure bad been taken in order that the first attack might cause them to lose two leagues of ground. These measures were executed with great precision. The division Berthmene and the Arm brigade the division of Lova& marched with a battery of field artillery...— As soon as our infantry (drawn up in columns of battalions) had in the plain which extends In front of the camp, the enemy appeared points. The French troops creased the plain with great rapidity. At 6,000 metres from the camp (nearly 3f English miles) the face of the country changes; the varieties of elevation become mere abrupt, and we find ourselves in the group of heights occupied by Algiers and its gardens. We perceive on them numerous habits. dons ; the vines, hedges, and suit trees, with which the ground is covered, put us in mind of the most fertile and best cultivated coun tries in Europe. One might suppose that the Turks would defend themselves with vigour behind the numerous obstacles which the ground presents; but beaten and discouraged, they stop nowhere. 1 thought it my duty to take advantage of this by passing rapidly over this space, and the French troops soon melted the bounds which separated them from the open country. They then took up a position. A rating seperated theta from the enemy, who bad at last halted upon the crest of the heights opposite those which we occupied. The artillery bad surmounted, with its usual rapidity, all the diEcultiesof the ground. It formed • bat tery, and sews howitzers, discharged with great accuracy, dispersed the groups which still presented themselves. Perhaps they were afraid of being Shoed into the town, from which we wereonly dis tant from 4,666 to 6,000 metres (from 21 to 31 English miles.) A powder .magmine had been established on the declivity of the heights of which tbey oceopied the summit. The blew it up. The ex plosion was violent. Thick clouds of smo ke, which rose more than 100 metres (shoot 130 feet) and which reflected the rays of an Afri can sun, presented a magnificent spectacle to the army. This ex. plosion produced no accident. Two squadrons of chasseurs bad followed the movements of the infantry, but the precipitate flight of the enemy and the nature of the ground did not permit them to charge. The enemy had no cannon ; perhaps they had discovered that to bring any was to give it up to us. The Dumber of men disabled has been inconsiderable; only one officer has been dangerously wounded; he is the second of the four sons who followed me into Africa; I have hopes that he will still live, and continue to serve with seal his King and country. On the day of the engagement 400 head of cattle were captured; so that the subsistence of the army in the article of butchers' meat is secured for eight or ten days. Whilst the army was engaged, the westerly winds, which kept the convoy at sea that bad le ft the bay of Pa kta on the 18th, had ceased to blow • a breeze from the east carried it towards the anchor age, which it reached last night. The discharging of the cargoes began to-day, and is going on without obstacle. Since the 14th, the communication between the sea end land forces has been constantly open ; it was not even in terrupted on the day of the violent storm, of which I gave your Excellency an account. To.day the sharp-shooting continues. The Turks have pre. sented themselves in great numbers; the Arabs were more scattered than on the preceding days. Their object appears now to be less to fight than to attack stragglers and pillage the baggage. Arran is have been made to attack the enemy to-morrow at day-break. Lieut.. General, Peer of France, Commander in Chief the Army of the African Expedition, Comte de BOURMONT. TORRE CHICA, Just i 9. At four o'clock in the morning the army, or rather the crowd Africans, attacked us with vigour. I think they were in number about 40,000 men, under the orders of Ibrahim Ags, son-in-law the Dey. The Beys of Constantino, Oran, and Titterie, were united with him. After an action of seven hours, which may be called the battle of Btaosedi, we carried all the frontiers of the enemy, their artillery, 400 tents, three of which that belonged to she three commanders were remarkably splendid. One hundred camels, and all their provisions, were likewise taken. The oily charge that can be brought against our army is, that it displayed too much ardour. As for our artillery, it is always in advance with the riflemen, to which may he ascribed that we had fourteen artillerymen wounded. Altogether, our loss may _have been about 5110 killed and wounded. Many officers are wounded more or less severely, but none danger. owl,. General Bowman has conducted the army to.day with as much coolness as spirit. He was always in the midst of the fire the batteries, visiting, on his return, the wounded, and ministering to their wants. This great success is but the prelude to those which we may expect to obtain during this campaign. BIDI-FEIIRUCH, JUN t 21. You must know at Paris the details of the action on the 19th instant, in which full 40,000 Turks and Arabs were beaten, and the great camp of &mooedi taken by our troop. This day, which was well conducted, is glorious both for the rasa and the soldiers, all of whom exhibited the utmost ardour. Slosh poverty was taken lathe camps of the Turks sad Arabs. The VIM of the chiefs ex hibited a degree of luxury peculiar to them, sod which may almost be called oriental. We are daily expiating that our materiel will be landed, in order that we may aliesedi Algiers. from which we are distant but fort leagues.

Java.—The Dutch Paper*, which arrived yuladay, contain a piece of intelligence of great importance to the Netherlands—we mean the suppression of the rebellion in Java by the submission of the chief leader of the insurgents, Diepo Negoro. Though the other people of Europe have paid little attention to the wars of the Dutch in a possession so distant u that of Java, the Government of the Low Countries has found them a great drain on its resources. The Dutch Colonial Government in the east has not had six months' tranquillity or security since the restoration of its rich possessions at the general peace. Every year the Government at home had to make some loan, or to send out some detachment of troops, to preserve dominions which the hostility of the natives rendered a burthen.— The chief above alluded to is said to have submitted about the mid dle of February. THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE. COSOURO.THEATII.—Gast night, after the splendid drama e " The Field of Cloth of Gold," which continues to be performed with undiminished attraction, a new piece, from the pen of T. Drams!, was brought forwar d. called " The Spanish Robbers." As far as the approval of the audience went, the piece was successful, but we cannot congratulate Mr. Disarm, in very strong terms, on the composition of the piece. The plot is neither original nor sulk. king, and we may spare ourselves and our readers the trouble of de tailing it. Murder and matrimony, and the freaks and blunders of an Irish Sergeant Terence O'Tickleuse, (Mr. Wasers,) who is the hero of the piece, with songs and dances, constitute the en tertainment ; but we cannot say that the compound has been ( made up with any great degree of art or skill. The bur then was laid upon WELLES; and whether considered men tally or physically, we must admit that the manager, in so doing, selected a gentleman admirably fitted to sustain it. Mr. "%Vacua, introduced two favourite Irish songs, both of which he sung exceedingly well, and which were honoured with an encore. The entertainments concluded with " The Dumb Savoyard and his Monkey," in which Mrs. W. BAR/LTIEORa and Master WIZ. LAND appeared, and sustained their parts in that style of excellence which most of our readers have been accustomed to nightly, during , the pain season, at Drury-lane. The pica was got up under the direction of Mr. W. BARRYNORE, and went off exceedingly well. A moving was introduced in tbe course of the pima, which combrzir a series of diversified scenery, painted in a style that does great credit to this theatre. VAIIRRALL GARDZIIS. —A numerous assemblage of fashionable visitors attended these Gardens last evening. All the entertainments, particularly the hydraulic exhibition, excited universal approbation ; the last part of this spectacle is splendid. A new medley Overture, arranged by Bishop, was much admired. The clever manner in which Mrs. Pitswilliam sang her portion of the comic duet, Mrs. Jeremy, gained for it a universal encore. This lady is a great acquisition to the Gardens. Tux CoLossatrx.--This magnificent building continues to at tract immense numbers. Among those who have lately vi. sited it were the following:—Princesses Esti:shay and Linen; Dl ili rkes Gloucester, Devonshire,: and Grafton • Lords Rama, c Templeton, Teignmouth, Galloway, Weymouth, Clifford, Mark HOT, Geo.

ENOLISII OFIRAADZLPHI.--The English Opera company, with several additions from provincial theatres, played MOZART'S Doss Juan last night for the Het time. The Opera was announced as a free translation with the original music adapted to English b jMr. BAWLS. The character of DOSS JIM was entrusted to Mr. H. PHILLIPS, and, in most respects, a better choice could not have been made. His fine voice and correct singing are well known, and must be heard to advantage in any Opera, and the difficulties of the language were so well mastered by his efforts, that in many instances their existence was hardly perceptible. The same praise may justly be afforded to Mr. G. Pinson, who sus tained the part of Leporello : but both these gentlemen were a little deficient in the humour of their respective characters. Mr. H. PHILLIPS had hardly enough of wicked gaiety for Don Juan; and Mr. G. Paxson's peculiarly dry and caustic humour sat rather stilly upon Leporello. Still the number of good points made by both was considerable, and their performance alone would have fully justified the success of the opera. They were very well supported by Miss BUTTS, as Donna Anna, and by Mrs. lEZZLZT as Zit. lino. The performers who made their debuts in the other ; charm ten of the o_pera were Mr. T. MILLAR. from the Bath and Bristol Concerts; Mr. ALDRIDGS, from the Theatre Royal, Bath; and Miss FZRGUSOW, from Dublin. Of the first but little can at present be known. The character of Don Octavio, which be sustained, hardly gave an opportunity for display; but in one or two of the airs he was very loudly applauded, and received the honour of an encore. Mr. ALDRIDOZ, u Dent !Pedro, sung the little lie had to sing respectably, and gave the statue scene effectively. Was Fgarsuscrt was a very pretty representative of Donna Elvin', so as to make it almost a wonder that the wicked Don could be so faithless. She is young, possesses a good face and knee, and walks the stage with sufficient ease and self-poessesion. Her voice is pleasing, though not powerful, and with that care which she may well afford to bestow upon her singing, she may become an useful acquisition to the theatre. At the close of the performance Mr. G. Payson came forward to announce the opera for repetition this evening, which he did amidst loud and general expressions of applause. MEETING OF THE METROPOLITAA POLITICAL! UNION. Yesterday, at the Rotunda, a Meeting, that had been eery pene acridly _advertised. was held in the temporary building lately occupied as a riding school or circus. There were a great num ber of persons assembled, chiefly of the useful or working class; and, perhaps. it beinelllonday, favoured the arrange. t, for a number of the members were :accompanied by their wives, and the wives were accompanied by their children.— At one o'clock Daniel O'Connell, Esq. took the chair. The avowed purpose of the Meeting was to move for the adoption of "an Ap pad ef the Council of the Metropolitan Union," which appeal was read by Mr. C. M. Riley, Secretary, and which contained a con densation of the history of the parliamentary rights and pri. vileges of the people of England. A number of resohalons were passed, in particular one voting thanks to the electors of Clare for having twice returned Daniell O'Connell, Esq. Mr. HUNT, and some more Gentlemen, addressed the meedft for a space of about siz hours, all in eul ogy of love of liberty, and in bitter phillipica against the press, what were received with ap propriate cries of " hear, hear,' and "shame, shame," dm But the resolutions were all carried unanimously, and tire people or derly dispersed, Mr. O'Connell taking bis departure in a hackney. coach amidst the congratulations of a crowd who had assembled to see the man about whom they had heard so much. The certainty of a dissolution of Parliament soon taking place, has occasioned great activity through the country ; the city of Gloucester will become the scene of a severe struggle. Three candidates are already on the alert, viz. Colonel Webb, one of the present klembers, Captain Frederic Berkeley, it. n. and John Phillpotts, Esq. The other sitting Member, R. B. Cooper, Rag. has not yet declared himself.--eitelienhuot Journal.
