Our Government is at this moment making military preparations, which prove its wise policy : the military armaments are no where car. vied on with more seal than here, where the magnanimous intentions of the King are duly appreciated. Our fortress presents the same appear. ante as in time of war. The town is full of troops, which are continu ally exercised, and the engireas are busily engaged in strengthening the fortifications.

A Warsaw Journal of the 4th, gives a detailed account from the offi cial reports of the Deputies of Lublin, who were sent to provide for the supply of the Russian troops under Prince Constantine, as they passed through their province. The following is their account of their inter. view with his Imperial Highness : " The Grand Duke received them graciously, expressed his satisfac tion with the reception he bad met with in the province of Lublin, as sured them of his friendly sentiments for the Polish nation, and lament ing his expulsion from Warsaw, added that the event had come upon him quite unexpectedly, notwithstanding the numerous reports and warnings he had received, especially of those of the Emperor his bro. (her, who conjured him by his fraternal affection, and by the memory of their mother, to be more on his guard. He spoke of the melancholy situation of the army, and especially that of the sol. dint' wives and children, which is indeed deserving of pity. The De puties replied that the idea of a criminal attack on his person had been far from the mind of any Pole : that the events that bad taken place were to be considered as the consequence of the violation of the Consti tution given to them ; and that it was easier to bear imprisonment then the loss of liberty once obtained. The Cessrowitsch agreed to this. and added, " When my brother Alexander proposed to publish the additional articles to the Constitution, and sent for me and Novosilsoff; to hear oar opinions on this subject, I objected, as I knew the character of the Poles, to the proposed plan, saying, " I am a Deputy to the Dist, and therefore cannot propose this manure." As the conversation took this turn, the Deputies thought it advisa ble to lay their petition before the Grand Duke, begging that he would now not refuse his assistance to the nation in its just cause; that the reconciliation of the nation with the Monarch would furnish the brightest page in the history of his life; that the Poles asked only the security of their rights; that they would defend these rights with the last drop of their blood; and that the Rumba army would not return to Poland, except over the dead bodies of slaughtered Poles. The Oland Duke was surprised at the fixed resolve of the nation, which be seemed to hear for the first time from the mouth of the Deputies; nevertheless, he listened readily to these words, and said be would represent the mat. ter to his Imperial Majesty, in the beat light, but would not an. ewer for the result : that after he had led his army back and presented himself to the Emperor, he would lay aside the uniform which he had worn for 26 years, and that no Russian would ight under his command against the Poles. He ended by saying... " Farewell, gentlemen; who knows whether we shall ever see oath other again!" The Deputies also Akin that the Russian Generals with whom they had measios to spiel did not at all wonder at what had passed ; they lamented their ma situation, but did not reproach the Polish nation on that account.

PA NIS, Jaw. 19.—The Count de Cellos, whose arrival at Paris from Belgium we have already mentioned is said to have come hither, not to propose the re-union of Belgium with France, or the Crown of Belgium to a French Prince, as has been reported, but simply to replace M. Rogier, whose intercourse with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (General Sebestiani) could not, after recent events, be of the nature so desirable, and, indeed, necessary, at this juncture. From the dlessagrr des Ckasobres of Tuesday, Jan. la. Pats, JAN. 17.—The municipal administration of the city of Paris desiring to provide for the extraordinary ex• penes which have been incurred since the end of July, proposes to open a loan, the capital of which will be 15,000,000. MARSEILLES, JAW. 11.—Lieut.-General toverdo, and several other officers, came out of quarantine in the Laza retto to-day. The Bey of Titery, his interpreter Sonliso, and his suite, have also left the Lazaretto. The Bey walked out about the city yesterday, and paid a visit to the Prefect. It is said that he has permission to prolong his stay here. Toy Los, JAN. 12.—The 18th and 40th regiments of the hoe, which formed the garrison of Toulon, have just re wired positive orders to set out for the northern frontiers. Their place at Toulon will be supplied by the 3d regiment from Antibes, and the 29th from Algiers. Letters from Algiers say, that the Emperor of Morocco has ordered ti,ooo men to march against Oran. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MESSADER.—TheOrynthis corvette, Captain Launay Orfrayses, sailed yesterday for the Morn, with very urgent despatches for the commander of the squadron in the Levant, and also for the commander of the half brigade that we still have there. This vessel takes to Navarino the depot of the regiment of Hohenlohe, and it is affirmed that the object of its sudden departure is far ther to warn the commander of the French squadron to be on bis guard against the Russian armaments in the Medi tetranean,and to concentrate his force at Navarino in ease of a lastiledemonstration on the part of that Power,whose dispo sitions with respect to France are by no means satisfactory. The armaments that were making at Toulon have been coun termanded. There are, however, orders to complete the materiel of the ships of the line and frigates, so that these ‘v4sels may be got ready for sea in a very short time. This measure has been adopted from motives of economy. In fact, the number of persons on board a vessel considerably in creases the expense, on account of the allowance for the Wile. It would be desirable to institute a rigiinuiry into t! is exp ense , an d appo i nt a comm i ss i on, com posed of per • was not interested, who should, prepare a plan on this branch, in which very great red , ictions might be made. The allowance to general officers, and others, commading vessels, are enor mous, and might be reduced by nearly one-half, and relieve t he budget of the Mariue of considerable sums which might be more usefully employed. PONT DE BEAUVOISIW.—II is certain that the garrison Chambary is going to be increased, and that cavalry will be sent thither. Large purchases of forage, which have been It 'd° in the valley of Graisivaudan, seem to confirm this. hie inhabitants of the open country begin to be alarmed. They believe that war will take place, and fear a considerable ike in the price of forage, which is already very dear. Them fasts seem to me to be ill-founded, but they certainly exist end it is my duty to state them. PARIS, JAN. 18.—It is certainly intended to remove two of the prisoners at Ham to the citadel of Amiens. A colonel of engineers has lately come to inspect the lodging of M. do Virgil, which will serve as their prison, after it has been walled all round. He has made his report to the Govern ment, whose decision is expected.

Cuaosnct.r.--The arrest of Mr. O'Connell will gin great satisfac tion in England. where various causes concur to produce an impatience of the agitation in Ireland. We are. in the first place. dissatisfied that the Irish should pursue a course ealcuLted to em ba rrass Ministers, at • time when their whole attention ought to be bestowed en reform ; and we view the conduct of the Irish as betraying a want of consideration for the welfare of their English brethren. In the next place we are opposed to the repeal of the Union, from an apprehension that it might lead to a separation. In the third place, the people of England cannot easily divest themselves of the feeling of masters in the case of the Irish, and conceive they have no right to be dissatisfied when they themselves are satisfied. Hence, the English newspapers, which must represent English feelings, are somewhat dangerous counsellors to Ministers In the case of Ireland ; for the Irish. befog the weaker and poorer people, are peculiarly, on that account, the more sensitive to any thing like slight, and popularity is to be gained in England, by whatever threatens to repress the Irish, and put an end to their importunity, from which we wish to be freed. The misfortune is, that the feeling of the English only tends to increase in the Irish the desire of separation. We really fear, taking all things into consideration, that the steps pursued with regard to Ireland, however popular in England, will only add to the difficulty of the crisis. We have alr eady exprastted our rooted conviction, that peace and tranquillity in Ireland see hopeless, so long asa einem= Church is allowed to receive it) large a share of the produce of that country. To this conclusion we must at last come—the Church of Ireland, as an establishment, cannot subsist. Pine Laws, coupled with some measure for the relief of landlords, where the popu lation is redundant ; so that relief of destitution may not act as conlina tion—and the fining the Catholics from what will ever be to them the cause of heart-burning—a Church kept up for the mere purports of con suming their wealth, may go far to quiet the country. and render im provement possible. But till the Irish have a hope of these measures, the dlssati s of will continue. Tuns.—Matters In Ireland seem to be on the point of reaching that crisis to which they have tended toe some months past. Whe ther the present step taken by Lord Anglesey is a wise one, must depend on more than a single coneldseadon. It involves the nature of the charge against the arrested parties, which, if trivial, ought not to have been made. It involves, secondly, the amount of evi. dew by which the prosecution can be supported, which, if other than overwhelming, ought sot to be at all relied upon. Thirdly, It embraces the important question, what is the temper of that body of the community out of which juries are likely to be empanelled ? and if favourable to the impartial administration of jua. tie*, is there much chance of their being intimidated ? Blender evi. done, a faltering jury, a slight canoe. a trifling punishment, would, any one of them, much more if taken all together, demonstrative of great imprudence In the Irish Government for adopting this = tort policy. But, doubtless, the above palms have been well d ad the consequences es well se principle of the arrest been looked at in ail their bearings. We have no doubt that, hand-in-hand with every sere to upheld and vindicate the law, the King's Ministers are already :leaved on securing to Ireland the most ample measure of redress for all her real grievances ; nor is there any reason to apprehend that much of the present session will pass away without affording proof to the Irish =of the active and generous seal with which their interests and have been espoused by those who, if die present Ministry en. dues but fora short time, as beat carry into execution such bene ficent rejects. Htnatn.—We took occasion. some time ago, to recommend the Oen of allotting smell portions of land to Onagers, as a wane of re. deeming that doss of people has the degradation and ekes of rope rbm, and of restoring them to their forma state of comfort, morality, end content. We bad nedeed that before the late disturbances in the agricultural districts, some fettering and benevolent proprietors, who had mere faith in the efficacy of remedial inessures than in the terrors of penal law, to reserve public order from the turbulent visitations of pe nury sod despair, set the good and wholesome example of affording to the distressed pasantry in their respective neighbour ho ods this port of Agrarian relief, which in every instance, as far as we mph) learn, was followed by th e happiest consequences, thus realising by experiment th e truth of the beetled lines of the poet— "A time there was, ere England's griefs begot, When every rood of ground maintained its man." Among the individuals who thus distinguished themselves by acts of rational beneficence and permanent relief to the industrious poor, was the Bishop of Bath and Wells I a man who is an ornament to his wed calling, and who, while too many mitred heads are glittering in the sun. shine of high places, stoops to the lowly hovel, where he can best enjoy the "luxury of doing good," and make thecae* of the Christian Pastor ge:tby the influence of the virtues of which the religion of mercy I l ith and holy source. Not content with his nations to relieve distress, the Right Key Bishop has availed himself of the agency of the press to communicate his opinions to the public on the causes of it, and to recommend the adoption of those remedies which are as much to be pre ferred to Special Commissions, and their spectacles of bleed, as mercy is better than secrifice. His Lorthhip, after touching with fame and bre vity en the several causes of the wretched and degraded condition of the agricultural leboorer, goes on to point out the remedies, which are, first an assignment of a small poetise of land to each cottager who has a fa mily. Another measure which be maiden imperatively called fur to meet the exigencies of the present times, is the summoning a vestry meeting in each parl.ll to ascertain the number sod description of the &milks wanting relief. In conelusioa. his Lordship recommends a dif ferent mode of taxation. to relieve the peer one from vexatious and op pressive assessments. and subedtate, tf _-eery, • property-tat, which would east the burden more properly upon the rleb. We would raven. mond the perusal of this pamphlet to all who have at heart the interests of their country. ARREST OF MR. O'CONNELL. MR. STRELE, MR. BARRETT, MR. JOHN REYNOLDS, and MR.
