The French Papers of Monday contain the Address of the Chamber of Peers to the KING, and his MA JESTY'S answer. The latter is important, as it states that his MAJESTY had, since the opening of the Ses sion, received news which announced that peace Alk ill not be disturbed in Europe. It is remarkable, however, that new reports of war were circulated at Vienna on the 29th of May, and the Funds had a slight fall. The uncertainty respecting the announced but delayed evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, has given some colour to these reports. Notwithstanding the positive declaration of the KING of FRANCE, we still have considerable doubts that the affairs of Turkey and Russia warrant so de cisive a conclusion. That the interference of the Bri tish Ambassador to preserve peace has been unceasing and peremptory, we believe, and that Russia has been compelled to forego, for the present; her de signs on Turkey, seems no longer doubtful ; but the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, the only re sult of the negotiations we are yet acquainted with, is one of the least important of all the subjects in dis pute, and is perhaps only a preliminary condition, before the other points are referred to the Congress, which, it is said, will be held at Florence. The great difficulty, as we have always stated, is with regard to the Greeks, who are sufficiently for midable to make terms for themselves, and will not, we trust, suffer their lives and liberties to be bartered away by the Holy Alliance. Could we believe it possible that the Greeks would not prefer death to returning to the yoke of the Turks, what security can the Ottoman Porte give to the European Powers, whose duty it is to protect the Greeks, that they will not be treated with greater cruelty than ever? The Greeks have passed the rubicon; they have com mitted the offence which legitimacy never forgives, that of attempting to shake off its yoke; and unless they should be betrayed by an unfortunate reliance , on faithless promises, or lulled into a fancied security, they may yet be free. The Address of the Chamber of Peers is merely an echo of the Kixo's Speech at the opening of the Ses sion; but the following is the KING'S Answer: a I am deeply affected with the sentiments expressed towards me by the Chamber of Peers : I feel very great satisfaction at their eagerness to answer the appeal which I made to them, and at the unanimous agreement which prevailed in their delibera tions. It is by such concord that we shall succeed in stifling the efforts of malevolence--efforts which will ever be to no purpose. It is with the most sincere pleasure I inform tht Chamber, that I have received, since the opening of the Session, intelligence which announces that peace will not be disturbed in the East. I feel a lively satisfaction in imparting a knowledge of this fact." . An article from Constantinople, dated May 14, and inserted in the Jou? nal des Debats, states, " That of the Ottoman navy have made an in igainst HALES EFFENDI, the SULTAN'S fa /ho was charged with having advised the of pacific measures. That favourite was, fortunate enough to save his life, but the of the affair are not known. His principal ' r ' Alb rt . . • offence consisted, in having asansalled dbeevaettation of Wallachia and Moldavia."

The Commander-in-Chief of the squadron has re ceived from the Columbian Government a Notice, of which the following is an abstract : gs PROCLAMATION. " I, Carlos Soublette, Knight of the Order of the Liberator, General of Division in the Colombian service, seeing that it has been resolved to invest the City of Puerto Cabello, and to place it in a state of blockade, do hereby direct that a strong squadron of the Republic shall be stationed off that port, and, in virtue of the power Invested in me, I think it right to decree as follows : "That Puerto Cabello Is hereby declared in a state of strict blockade ; all neutral vessels attempting to Infringe the blockade, and any vessel found off that coast, after thirty days from this date, shall be deemed a breaker of the blockade. "That the Commander of the naval force shall, until the ex piration of thirty days, warn• neutral vessels bound to the port of blockade; and if they shall, after that, attempt to break it, he shall seize them and send them in for adjudication. " That this Decree shall be transmitted to all Tribunals and Authorities; and that it shall be communicated to the Com manders of the squadrons of neutral Powers in these seas, and to the Charges d'Affaires of our Government in foreign countries. " Myna at Head-quarter, Valencia, 20th February, 1822. " SOU BLIMP." DISTRESS IN IRELAND. The accounts from Ireland are still extremely dis tressing ; in the Western Counties contagious fever accompanies the scarcity of provisions—famine and pestilence go hand in hand. Meetings are held in almost all the districts that are suffering, to ascertain the extent of the misery that exists ; and it is inva riably found to surpass what has been expected.— Dunallow, with a population of 6,000 individuals, is in a state of dreadful and of generil distress ; its wretched inhabitants are falling victims to famine and disease—famine occasioned by scarcity of provi sions and want of employment ; and disease, the con sequence of bad food. At Liscarrol there are 200 families, averaging four persons each, all of whom are destitute of food or the means of procuring it. In Churchtown there arc not less than 1230 individuals wanting the means of subsistence. At a Meeting of the General Committee of the City of Cork, a Report was laid before them of the state of distress, which states, that " the result of the returns of three Parishes of the City, already re ceived, presents a mass of misery so appalling, and entirely beyond their means to relieve, as to demand increased exertions, and to require additional aid from the benevolent." In the town of Galway the distress is unmitigated. A number of women are daily employed drawing down turf from the bogs in the neighbourhood of the town upon their backs, and for as great a load as they are capable of carrying, they obtain but one penny-halfpenny, performing a journey of six n,iles bare-footed, under a burning sun ; but such is the scarcity of money that they hesitate not to perform this arduous undertaking for so small a pittance, to sustain life. Mr. MORRIS, the Proprietor of the new Haymarket Theatre, much to the honour of his feelings, means to open the ensuing season for the relief of the suf fering People of Ireland. Such conduct, considering the great expense attending , the rebuilding of his Theatre, is peculiarly meritorious, and we hope that he will find an ample reward in a prosperous season. A Grand Concert was announced to take place last night, in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion-House, in aid of the funds of the Society for bettering the condition of the poor in Ireland, by means of employ ment. The distinguished list of Ladies Patronesses, under whose auspices it was undertaken, led us to entertain the hope that we should have found the Hall quite crowded by eight or nine o'clock at farthest.— We regret to state that the attendance by no means justified our expectations. The Concert was excellent, and how could it be otherwise when supported by BRAHAM, and almost all the other great vocalists of the present day. The Pulpit has often successfully aided the put.- poses of benevolence, and there never was a time or a cause that more loudly demanded its support than the present sufferings of the Irish peasantry, when " plague, pestilence, and famine" are no longer pros pective evils, but are actually felt by numbers of our fellow-subjects in the sister kingdom. We are happy to find that in various parts of the country Sermons have been preached on the subject, and we hope that the Bishops will make pastoral charges to the Clergy in their respective dioceses, calling on them to exert their talents and influence in this work of charity.— We have been led to these remarks from a Corre spondent having called our attention to an eloquent and impressive Discourse, preached on Sunday last at the parish church of Walton-on-Thames, by the Rev. THOMAS HATCH. The text was the sth chap ter of Job, v. 20. "In famine he shall redeem them from death." After pointing out the duties of cha rity, and alluding particularly to the distressed state of Ireland, the Rev. Divine thus proceeded " It is to us that, under PROVIDENCI4 they look for succour. Gon, in his infinite mercy, has given us abundance, and for what purpose?—Not to pamper our own unruly appetites, but to feed the poor, and to comfort the broken-hearted. Look at the bleu logs we all enjoy, at the comparative comfort in which the poorest among us exists, then turn your eyes to the wretched cabin of the starving peasant—view him, with his children around him, without food, without help, without hope ! See them, one after the other, falling into an early grave, in rapid, perhaps in merciful decay ; see their haggard looks, their eager eyes, their pale and woe-worn countenances! Let the poorest man who now hears me remember, that to such a family the humble meal he will eat this day would be received with a joy and gratitude beyond what words can express; it would be as the very manna dropping from Heaven upon them. Surely these are objects indeed for our na tional compassion and charity; surely this. is that excellent la bour of love in which all will lend a helping hand. In this blessed work all must join, and, as they join, all must thank the At smart that he has been pleased to bestow upon them the means of saving many a soul from misery ; and, in famine, of redeem ing them from death."
