Had it appeared to this Assembly that I hail given op (said Mr. Lawless) my Resolution lit the Committee, or that I had adopted the amended 011 P. I should not presume to appear now before this Assembly ; hut that point has - been satisfactorily - settled by Mr. Barnett and Mr. Grimshalv, and it pow only remains for me to show the audience who summed me, that the argument' advanced against' en) Itesolutinn are not only spiritless and degrading ' to Belfast, bat on-statesman-like, itnpolitic, and ins- i prudent. Whets Gentlemee talk GP the necessity of cntictistion—when Mr. W.ffeneset, whose ender wending is equal to aur.snarr's, talks of the inspolicy and imprudence of 'lschia. Resolution vs • I havemoved —he seems to forget the constitution/ of *Parliemede, e—he seems to forget the relation in which he stands ' to his Itepresentetive—he seems to forget the duties of that Represeetative, end that woare not to speak to him as the servant speaks to his master, but that rather we are to address our Representative in the lenguege 4 strong remonstrance—in the language of the parent who created bim—and with the *spirit of mei, who will not tolerate a neglect of all that duty which the R. presentative is bound to perform. When i Centlemen talk of conciliation, and a mild sod sub: deed phraseology, they are surrendering the privla lege the Constituent should always eliercise—the , pito' vilege of speaking his sentiments with maoly can dour and intrepid- integrity. Such is the langeege. of all those men from Westminster to Belfast, who understand the duties they owe to themselves and their country. - Is it imprudent to caution the Irish- Representative againattineurring the character of be lug a mere cipher to .fill up the ranks of Minister', and add to the burdens of his fellow subjects? If each be the evidence of history—if such be the fact, (and who, after the experience of the, last eigh. teen years, will presume to deny it,) is it too much for us to cautino him against the .repetition of such practices? . Where were the Irish Members when this odious and eporessive Tax you now seek•to re. peels eras debated ?

LowEtt ELIE, SEPT ! ..2B.—The Barbary Govern ments are again beginning to make considerable sr filaments to exercise their piracies. The Spanish, Government has received news from Algiers, which, leave no doubt of it ; it even seems as if the pirates will in future no more respect the flags which for some time have not been exposed to their attacks, and thitt they are prosecuting with doable zeal the measures which the plague and their iuternal dissen sions had for a time suspended. Though it seems that the Spanish flag has nothing 4;0.16, precautions against their attacks are however is bifirmed that negociations to this ef fect, have been ,opened in London : it were to be WishWthat their results might be as speedy as the dang 4 is imminent. Meats tidte,, pfee is carrying on to overturn the Goverumint• Or Tunis by Means of a descendant of a certain Aly Bey, who' was taken, and beheaded by the Algerines In 1757,, when the r y conquered Tunis. The Pretender affirffie that hi Ise friends in the neighbouring Suttee, witio only wait frit his arrival to receive him' with open arms, and to place him on i the 'throne of his fathers. He has already gone to Oviliffili r iti train; 2000 . Ttirks and a numerous Mal) cavalry, commanded by the Ages Errol the 'Any of Constantini, are shortly to join him. It is iteill:ktiown that piece and friendship have long subsisted between Algieri and Tunis, and the latter GOvirement has done all` it could to preserve the good will df' the Dey of Algiers by presents. Neier. tbeleoe the Algerines enter the Tunisian territory as enemies, without a previobi declaration of war.— The plague has at length abated its ravages. The mortality is now from five to eight persons daily.— The' Dey, whose niildeess is still praised, is going te lend an Ambassador to London, " to tie still Ciiia*r the bodda of friendship at present subsisting with Greit Britain, and.probably to request the neu t'rality of Grist Britain in the new piracies which are intedded." This is singular, Great Britain, like tither European States, has concluded Treaties with Algiers, 'Tools, &c. which it maintains, as Lord ExmOuth's expedition proves. It is not stipulated in' (hem that it is to be the champion of other Skates there Las every where else—the word is, " Help yousiself,"• or establish legal' relations by• treaties ; or jeln `4l(th such as are stronger, if you have ,not , stiettith enough to protect' yoerielf. • If ilie'..,Euglith t who' are . pert of the European FattillyViritteok reierits those who have a mind to. jolnt"tV'thein there is in the Mediterranean an Amerlairi stliadion, with which . commoo cause may rte n i tide; or rather arrangements .agreed upon, for protection against the pirates.

The French Five per Ceats. left g 0 0 4 Thursday at 74 f. 85 c; Ireland, that has been so often deluded by a false show of justice and regard to her interests on thr part of Administration, appears at present fondly. clingleg to the prospect of some tort of e minc i p „. ,ftom lb* change that bas taken place in 'l t h hoUgit els* w ec e aglirweAsly part of the ive that Government; ee It o a p n ee d will set be speedily gratiSed to WE watt they ought, it. b eertainly not without reason that the Irish People look for . an important alteration.— The Ministry of the, ascendent evidently foresee a stotm, if not abresd, .at home, and they are can. niag *sough to endeavour to provide against it. The sentiments of the Irish nation are unchanged, they are moving simultaneously and progressively ,to. wards freerlotn—their demand for Emancipation and Reform is becoming irresistible; justice is its powerful ally, and time is working its accomplish. meet. Ministers foresee a crisis. While there wet safety in withholding justice from Ireland, it was withheld—the reign of bigotry is now no longer tenable, and, by the symptoms, it would appear that of conciliation is about to commence. We earl:mitt'' , wish that these appearances may not prove as fella• cious as the rainbows hung out by PITT and CASTLE REActi. But the People of Ireland have it in their power to avoid the consequences of deception; it it their duty to persevere until they get the substance, not to lose the recollection of their rights and their wrongs in, the rapture Nicked by the fleeting pita°. torn of liberty which a few, fair professions and warm imaginations have created. The voice of all nations is now raised for freedom ; the Despots that would keep Europe in eternal chains, though thermal assemble ,to,digest their pleas for coercing the imam mind and continuing the reign ono,: scription and intolerance, cenQot continue the ipso. list system, upless men will ignotnisiously and wfil.d ingly bend their necks to the odious yoke. The OOP . Anna of the, Continent cannot be emancipateask Great Britain continue in slavery. Will the Peetili of Ireismixubmit to a state of restraint and degrade. Lion that is even below the condition of those when we have hitherto pitied ? We rejoice in the appestat approach of a conciliatory spirit in the Government, from whateter motive it may be manifested ; but we rejoice still more in the determination evinced by the Irish People to continue their exertions in the cause of universal Freedom, and to obtain the recovery of all the rights which they possess in common with the human race. The voice of truth and justice hes , triumphed over a bigoted and disgraced Admi nistration, and now at least the semblenceof fairness is assumed. The appeistment of Mr. GRANT to the Secretaryship, of Ireland, is a proof that Ministers have found their system an injurious and inefficient one; and it is - a SeblietUf just congratulation, that "country whic,liisesbeeti so long cursed with Mini sters ignorant of its tree interests, and with 66 Marti , unknowing how to yield," has at length obtained 0. "pereon to manage its affairs, who already possesses the hearts of the People. It will be seen from the notice in another, column, of a public Dinner given by the LORD MAYbIt of Dublin, at which the Loan LIEUTENANT and Mr. Secretary GRANT, and other distinguierientetitilrel characters were present, that it is conceived. new era is shout tp commence in the Government of Ireland. The sentiments ex. pressed at, infltieeting deserve to he hailed with epprotratioes.' Mr. GRANT'S fame in life is now ill , ' delibly connected with the prosperity of Ireland. Ilia abilities are net inferior Co the task he has undertaken. It is only, perhaps, to be regretted, that the ardent sod ansious desire expressed to proesote i the happiness of Ireland, should he pieced in a deputrsituation—amt that the same feeling should be to tittle witnessed at the source of those Councils from whence the Ga vernment of Ireland takes its colour. l The Report of the Meeting at Belfast, which no give, will also be found to Cnniniu subjects well worthy of attention. It is a proof that Ireland is re• solved to freOherself from the hateful effects of the oppressive and corrupt system that has so long weighed her down, and reduced her to the verge of annihila. lion. A spirit like this should not be doomed to suf. I far the disappointment of hopes founded upon the undeniable principles of justice and policy, nor sat)• jutted to the ignominy of being ground in the mortars of everlasting taxation. , - -------- ThW PRINCE REGENT has made a present of three splendid carriages to his Nlajesty the Emperor ALEZ• DER.
