My tut was in answer to yours, wherein I told you of the dreadful impression, the candela of the beggar ly crew made, who dittiedtbentselves at the Mansion. house, when ander the vieumnand of that Policeman, whom it appears was the very man employed by Aby to negotiate a treaty aflame with Lord P-1 and the Liberals; no that you'll find, my dear Pat, be not only acted as a blew-vole to the embers of intolerance, but a consummate hypocrite tbro'out. Oh, meet bad leek to the Crawley: I The old rotten Delsos consider them selves the protegees of Old Bags, Lord Jenky Pool sad the Doctor, and in them they look for protection, were their duds as,black as the Life Guards' Horses; but we think the new Marquess wishes to redeem his character, and sbew forth his masters to an unexpect, od &drainage. I wish he may do both. though I dated there are heavy clogs tacked to the wheels ittState„ which bare sot been a little loaded by the ettrtiOia of those canting humbugs is prosecuting and assistieg l to dispose of the unfortunate martyr, Caroline ; and they cannot, it is thought, be shook o(. without. breach of faith save where. You know, my dear Pat, while eold-bloodei reptiles rule the rout with you, Ireland has little to expect, but continue u it has bees, a draw-fares to a contaminated system of Cabi net encoriatious. All your Edwards, Henrys, Crom well., Winless, Ste. have been its nominal protectors sad bigoued enemies, and the glorious era of regene ration was reserved for the present George, if be has bat sufficient gratitude for that kindness he bouts so sub et Hue the applause was a spontaneous offer ing of gratitude flowing directly from the heart; there it was the cheers of a hired mob to give a semblance • of affection, or rather a chew without substance. Let us say what we please of the new Marquess, be's the best amongst them. Give a dog a bad name and bang him at once. Oh, bad leek in healdfirle to the Crawley,. I'll tell you Pat, my opinion in private, tho' I don't care who knows it; the King has but two •counes to steer : should be put all power and place oat of the bands of the merd'roos faction be will be etiorcd ; if be don't, we'll neversee him more le Stonpbatter o; Laspbill I That's a volume Pat, and let them smoke it ; it will be as strong to a weak stomach as a whiff of the holy weed.— One of the old Good for nothing. is here ; perhaps he'd change his heart, if not, Luke Caffrey's 4iliniobas mined to him "speedily and soon." This puts me in mind of Alderman Grog-blossom, a neat sample of cockney oratory. They opened some docks here, and let him sail in his Dutch dung boat, a vessel that never wants ballast when he's a-board. The shipowners and merchants thought a sbake-bag ' who was sot wprtb public attention at Guildhall was beneath their notice, so they left him and his aid dung barge to take care of one another. Some of the forgiving fools ask only a public repri mand to Darley. No, Pat, nothing for me but a kick est, with the Rogue's March beat up at his tail. If the new Marquess don't effect it in spite of his stupid associates, he'll prove himself a greater v—g—b—e than ever you rappelled him at the other side, that's bad enough I'm told; at any rate he is neither a coward Nor a hypocrite. I beard two Delius, half &suits donut epos their less of power sad their hopes of dap and the old illiberal' making a Knight of Darley for his manly attempts to set his neighbours cutting each others throats, as a match for Abey, who was made a Barrownight for his attempts to prevent them. Now, Pat, do you know what Betty Maloway, the tortoise-teller, says of Dein Parley, " that the affair will he. bolstered up by a sort of a kind of an apology, and by way of a set off, he'll get the building of the new Tootimosial, and promise Not to be a bold boy—until the neat time I! !"—Ar ragb, Pat, jewel, only guess, pod lack and grace se me but the new Marquess is goat to Belfast, just to feel their pulse, and try are they as stupid there as we are here. It would not do, Pat ; the boys there are still good, thorough bred; no shouts, no flummery, ao blarney for Down or Antrim. They don't forget what they remember ; the Marquess found it would'at do, so be gave them the double. There the boys have a newspaper called 2%e frisbee* ; the Devil fly away with the doubt bat the Editor knows his letters; be is cock of the walk, and I per ceive that your English newspapers quote him fro liestly. Glory to the English newspapers; I don't =ran these dirty scamps who receive tbe people's pay for abusing them. 06, no, give them rope enough, and you may guess the rest. Oh! had leek to the Crawley's.

It. 4.a, Aug. 28, 1821. Stets--I am induced Ili thy above head for this article, being one adopted ,"asiothey correspondent in your paper of Wedneedat lief. I whirfor the his toric information which he proposes to - 'eve; 1. from a personage of the very bee;authority ;" but, really. the present historian la ly at variance with all the chroniclers of the which he relates, both with regard to facts and chronology, that I mast con ceive him to be the possessor of manuscripts and re cords of which it would be highly honourable in him to disclose to the world.' John de Courcy was . Earl of (Aster is 1177. by conquest, and in I 182 crested Baron Kinsale, &c.: be was an Englishman, and the ancestor of the present Lord Kinsale; I will quote my authority, but whe ther the " very best" or not, your readers may deter mine. " In 1206. Philip of France made further demands upon John, and sent over to England a Champion, to enforce them. But it was not judged right to submit a national object to the decision of combat, yet an English Knight was produced to defend the honour of his country. This was John de Courcy ; who, after having conquered the kingdom of Ulster. is 1177, had been treacherously seized, and kept in hold, on suspicion of treason. When he wu brought out, ema ciated with confinement, John asked him "if he would fight for bin." " Not for you" (said de Courcy) " but for my country's honour I will figbtto my death." The French Champion is said to have declined the combat, and de Courcy, having been desired to show a specimen of his vast strength, in the presence of John and Philip, cleft a helmet at a blow, and buried his sword so deeply in the post which supported it, that none but himself could draw it oat. For these exploits the Courcys' are privileged, at this day, to be covered before the King. It is added, that the hero, being asked " why he looked &voted him se fiercely before be made Isis stroke." answered, " That had he failed to cleave the helmet, he meant to have slain all the spectators, lest they should deride him."—(Heamer's Citron.; Cots History; Lodge's Peerage.) Now. Sir, what I call upon your eerrespoudeut to prove is, that there ever was a Champion for Ireland. That King Henry was present at an exhibition in the year 1206, when he happened to die in the year 1189, that " his heart was agonised at his (the French Champion's) insolence," where he finds any authority for De Conroy being summoned either as" Mister" or Monsieur Courcy. the sending for the" immense block of wood," and that " Monsieur de Courcy was proclaimed Champion of England." I think the story of the De Conroy, the conquerer of Ulster, being appointed to ride round a tract of land to become possessed of it. and stopping half way to dine. which is made to account for the present smallness of the Kinsale property, is not ori ginal although a fink altered. It puts me in mind of a man who said that lie had been hunting with the late King, who took such a fancy to him as to ask him to take potluck with his Majesty, and that upon their arrival at Windsor Castle, the King brought from a corner cupboard a cold shoulder of mutton. hoping his friend would excuse it, as it was washiarday with Charlotte. I shall sot take up more of your column than to remark upon those ,marks of self-approval. notes of admiration; of whiellthe article 1 sin noticing contains no less than thirty-three. H. P.

A description of these Insidious and ra pacious wretches should be made public, in order to gear,' the unwary against their artifices. STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS. (nom Tun uvattroot maacmtv.) The state of agitation into which the public mind has been thrown by a series of occurrences that might bare been altogether prevented by judicious and temperate measures, is daily increased by the virulence of the mi nisterial writers, who are perpetually calling for that last resource of tyranny, tho extreme exertion of mili tary force. Our reflections on this state of things lead us necessa rily to a cursory view of the violent measures that have led to it. Let us go no further than the moment in which his present Majesty began to exercise the regal power, as the successor of his venerable father. He cams, unfortunately, to a throne over a people, whom the ill-advised measures of his ministers had divided L and irritated. Yet, what an opportunity did that Sc. 'kession offer , for conciliation and unanimity ! How +slily might he have been a King of a free people,—a King of an energetic people, whose ancestors had, be epse they were free, called his ancestors to reign over Bat instead of peace and freedom, the cry of the m inisters , through that v ile p o rti on o f the p r ess that is !lathe their control, was for the preservation of cor rupt i senesce ; for the abrogation of the judicial rights of the people; for the punishment of an illustrious lady, the Consort of the King, before she was even accused ; and for her prosecution in such a manner as to imply her condemnation before her trial. All this is notori ous ; and it is slimily notorious, that all this and much more, adverse is every point to the boasted constitution of this great nation, was carried into effect merely by the overbearing influence of a corrupt and corrupting system. The intrepid return of an innocent and in sulted woman roused a spirit which was sinking under repeated outrages. The shameless indignities offered her ; the virulent and wanton statement of the charges against her, by the Attorney-General; the detestable mutter in which shoals of scandal were endeavoured to be propagated ; the examination of witnesses, unworthy of the smallest degree of credit, in support of pretended facts, which none but fools or madmen could have be lieved, had they been ever swornto by persons of decent character; in fact, the whole series of malicious perse cutions with which that amiable and dignified Princess was assailed, could not but awaken the people to a sense of their own degradation. They felt that their own were perverted, in order to render them sebservi eat to the purposes of malice and injustice; the people, therefore, elevated their voice, and for a time saved her from her enemies. Their triumph was answered by the ostentatious taunt of a Coronation, from the cere mony of which she was, by a new and still more poig nant insult, excluded. Smitten to the heart by that malignant blow, she fell a martyr,—an ever-to-be-re vered martyr! an illustrious sufferer in taut awful cease of the claims of justice, which has been long as much the cause of the people, as it was so lamentably her own. The mats that have followed that mournful oc• casion have shown more distinctly the lengths which the corrupt sad the unjust appear to be prepared to go. The military have been brought out against the people, and the former have been protected in the out• rages theemetersonsmiMed: • Times entraps intro the result of their being appointed to obstruct the wishes of the people oa a most solemn occasion ; when the people bad earnestly and openly expressed their wish to manifest, in peace and sorrow, their attach meet to the remains of their Queen. We are persuaded that a great majority of the soldiery are sensible of their con nexion with the people. It is not possible for the sons of our artisans and peasantry to forget their fathers and their brothers ; to lose all affection for their mothers and sisters ; to forego every hope (natural to every human heart) of forming connubial ties, and placing their offspring in situations to enjoy the blessings of liberty and peace ! With these Impressions, which every one who has a heart must acknowledge to be correct, we do not ap prehend the establishment of military despotism in England, however that may be the wish of those who dread the great alternative. It is from the same im pression, that we reprobate the irritating language with which it appears the Life Guards have been repeatedly insulted • • • England ought to know of no such beings as soldiers armed against her citizens. Tin dell power is of the most admirable construction ; *spreads throughout the kingdom, and carries ins* every county, every hundred, and every tything, tits wry form of the old Saxon Government of our ancestors. It is every where equal to the suppression of tumult. It is cheap, wholesome, and natural. What need have we then of keeping soldiers is pay to act against ourselves. When our former monarchs wanted &levy of soldiers for foreign expeditions, they became citizens again upon their return. They knew not the isolation of barracks, bet mingled with society, and became the fathers of fami lies whose liberties they were ever ready to assert, whom homes they were ever ready to defend, and whose welfare was at once the anxiety sad comfort of their lives. Such soldiers made Elegised great and free ; rapeseed abroad and happy at home. They were - truly English soldiers ! and we trust that it will be aldmately fined that neither Hussar cape nor Prus sian vests can altogether Germanise English hearts. The great beast* that is resulting to the country from the very minute inquiries that have been mad, in the inquests on the bodies of Francis and Hooey, is the en. posers of the needlessness of the employment of the soldiery at all, and the evil coneequeaces that most necessarily, at all times, ensue when armed men are em ployed ma assassins where the probes have a heart. felt, a paismikamispraisemeeirelbjeet ht view. What have soldiers *do with the solemn elosequies which the people had undeetaken to perform t 6 boseure truly midmost ? Or, if the soldiery bad been allowed (as they might have bees) to participate .in that solemnity, where is the authority that meld legally command them to Interrupt **lntegral marsh ?

The investigation during the inquests proves that there was no necessity.

Sta—Lord Bathurst, in his answer to Sheriff Wahl,- man, admits a riot to which the Sheriff's letter relates.

His Lord ship's letter in every other respect is vague or ques tionable ; for though he speaks of the continuance of a riotous mob, he does not tell you. that one arose, or when or where It commenced. It might, if at all, have been out of the sphere of the worthy Sheriff's activity or his jurisdiction ; at some other Barracks, or in Broad St. Hiles's. It is to be presumed from his Lordship's letter, that the soldiers did not voluntarily withdraw, and his Lordship is silent as to whose praise worthy commands or persuasions they did, at last, withdraw. I trouble you with this merely as a memo randums. I am, fcc. August 30. B. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. Whitechspel, Sept. 4, MI.

Doubtless the friends of the deceased, who are making so lendable an effort to guard the distressed family from the tinge of poverty, can assign the motive for silence on the part oi those whose duty it is to protect the lives of his Majec ty's subjects.
