. STATE OF IRELAND. (FROM THE DUBLIN MERCANTILE ♦DVEETISEE•) TO THF: MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE. Mr Lorte,—The general state of Leinster does not differ from that of Munster and Connaught. There are, however, a few peculiar facts connected with this Province, which we think It necessary to state. While the South is OVIIITIM by the Whiteboy Association, the Preview of Wenn le the scene, though not the eradie s4 l of the Rinses System., The wildness an absurdity of th Association, your Lordship will have gathered from the re ern rile in Dublin. One part of the oath of this Unto* is allegiance to the King, another pert regards opposition to Tithes, and, if we can believe the informers, there was a third item In the oath, which certainly looked towards Re bellies. My Lord, we may take it upon ourselves to say. that then is so feeling of this kind prevalent in Ireland.— We believe that the Ribboomen were quite in t. whoa they mete allegiance to the King —we believe, that the Whitelnys, if celled upon, would light his enemies to morrow With as cheeredeed a fidelity as the Orangemen.— la oath, there is no party so fraction of a party, and, we firmly believe, uo imitetaisal to Ireland, that contemplates. or wend wish, a separation from Distend. That prime. pie, your 'Lordship will be glad to lure, even in the midst of our desolatiou, has gone by. Still the country is full of illegal Associations, because the country Is full bf !Amiens, and grsianiug tinder cruel oppressions. One anecdote will he better thee a laboured description. A man bad some Corneal come Potatoes on his little farm. The Reat and Tithi were applied for. He *ofd to the Landlord, "it is only fale that you should km your rent x the produce of the Corn. I know, will oot pay you. Take it, however, as far as it will Fo. I have a pig and a eow,these mune° in satisfaction f thetithe,whicht know ietheMirson'sdee.Theystrenet. !know sufficient; but neither you nor be shall touch my potatoes, if you do not take my life. 1 will stand by the pit (the place where the potatoes are Icept after being dug ow), and I will take the life of hits, or be shall take mine, who attempts to deprive me of food for myself or my children." We assure your Lordship that we state a feet. The Speech was made in the presence of a thou 'and parsons, and we Mate this fact because our orator only repented the general feeling of the peasantry of the country. This is • fearful state in so dense and ieflaintaibfe a population as ours. 'f ous who must lire in the !entre of it —who must witness the beeviugs arn; d ;OLIVE' Of the billows, it is appalling. lu the midst of itlferkine; in the most fruitful country perhaps in the WM; the people may starve. But for Englen I be adreils of thousands would have gone to their gr last Spring and Summer. The failure of the potatue crop will do it at any time. Can your Lordship he snr prised, therefore, that despair will force a population, naturally fond of enterprise, into all sorts of absurd and extravagant associations? The truth is. that such is the state of the 'peasantry at this moment—so utterly reck less and desperate are they, that you must only be sur prised . at the comparatively trifling excesses to which nee, esity and ignorance are driving them. Crest efforts' however, are made, and, in some de gree, successful efforts, to stem the progress of Itibbon• tau--if your Lordship will allow us to use a barbarous expression, too , well understood in our unfortunate Country. The judicious and prompt administration of justice, the character of the Lord Lieutenant anti the At torney Bennet, have done much. The new Constabula ry Bill, when it COMPS into fall operation, may do more. But there are Penal and expensive restraints. They may damn up a popular ebullition here and there; but they will be found too weak for the rising tide, it other and very diff-rept measures do net accompany them. Morel restraints Ale. my Lore, talk of these r estraints some teenfyiran hence, when the People are e;ucated.. But what . o f • ileontl restraint:to a physical want flow are moral instiaints IMO operating. or ri• thee how will they operate in eight or min months time on the distressed and ruined Farther' of England: Did mita! restraints ever operate upon the raging hunger of shiiewrecked Mariners 1 . It is easy to talk of moral iestraluts by our tire sides. and in our snug parlours. It i< Gr. ek—it is Heathen Laegnage to the wretch who is planted in his mud cabin by the side of • bog—who sees the county taxman seise Lis pig fur the Rate, sod the Careen seise Isis potatoes fur the Tithe. I: is really insulting in tell such a man that it is his interest to obey the leer. What interest has heist the law ? The law of tithe has been to him a curse, and a scourge —the cotan•y lets to him is a grieyous and intolerable tax, fur which I.a receives no equivalent whatever. Moral restraint-, indeed ! lie can only be restrained by a fear of death. If fandueleocks at his dour, that fear vanishes. We are witnessing the consequences in every part of I eland —awl' much more we shall have to witness before the spriag leirorer. Still however. one Moral restraint has been tried. and, to acerfain extent, we know, has succeeded. It is a pasinikl lldrebs of Doctor Doyle, the Roman Catholic Eashol of Kildare lend Leighlin, addressed to the Rib busmen in his, Diecase. The Address your Lordship will have seen in the. Dublin Newspapers. You will read it, with attention, and We are nee, with admiration. It bag feacceetied to a certain extent. • The primary visitation charge of Doctor Laurence. Archbishop Of Cobol, has Also been of great service., even apoitg the lower ranks of people . This charge hr .-allies the spirit of peace and christian meekness, Aral means have, we onderstand,.beeu taken, to have its *Mummer communicated. These, and such prelates as these, will do more to soothe the irritated feelings of the p .ty, than all which has been done for years. Bet swindling, tie repeat it, besides moral instruction, is neceassary, end it is for your Lordship to apply your great luleots in the discovery of a remedy, and in cretinous advocacy for its adoptins. The State of the Landlords is, in some degree, quite as desperate as that of .the Peasantry. In Wexford, the Sheriff, from being the busiest man in the would, has now little substantial .business to perform. But. in deed, we shouhl only repent ourselves by going through the coenties regularly. Th. picture of one is the pic ture of all. Our Proprietor in*Kildare has 20,000 acres en Land. In the King's County there was a sale by A unction the other day. The mock three years ago (in declining times) was worth at, least two thousand pounds. It was driven to Fair and Market, but the Far mer, being q man of sense substance, held back. A rent became due. lie was not forthcoming with the money. nor with any of it. Whether he was disho nest or unfortuoate, or both, we shall net say; but the l l andlord, a worthy man, and no grinder, could not get a sixpence atom him. lie put an Execution in the She rifts basil, and the Corn and Cattle were brought to the hammer. No one worth! bust. 'fhe Sheriffs orders, however, were peremptory. The Corn and the Beasts were put up. A Dlilch Cow was bought for half a gui nea, end a Ifunter, worth stf gnineas, for 40 shillings. The Stock was removed to a neighbouring farm. It Freught 1501, one hundred of which went to the Sheriff and his Officers. The man quitted the Farm. It is now Ltitenanted, and the 'tenant and his Landlord are both in Gaol. 'llse 'tenant will get out under a particular 41.inse in the Insolvent Act. The Landlord is a Tenant for life. We shall not apologize to your Lordship for the fmni• tinily With which these statements are made. If we were even capable of writing in what is called an ele gant style, to which we bare no pretensions, wedo not know that we should be capable of culling ph ,or of balancing periods, on any subject that resembles . this. These inky do very well for an essay on the state of Europe. or an attack upon a powerful Minister ;but they are useless to the misery and desolation of this country. What England may expect, indeed time Omit to which she is tending, has been Embed this Winter by Ire land. ..~-_~►- 'li - THE STATESAAN.

We have received this morning, by the regular con I 1 veyance, Paris papers to the 23tb instant. They bring, however, no important addition to the intelligence which reached us yesterday by Express; At present there appears not only a dearth of information, but a suspension of speculation at Paris—a phenomenon the more remarkable when no consider the negotiations that most be necessarily going on, and Om fertility of invention for which the Parisians are: distinguished Another circumstance may be also noticed at the present crisis as equally unaccountable—thedeelinsof theFreuch Funds, while the hopes of many of the Pariteleurnalists are encreasing in assurance as to the continuance of Peace. The passage of couriers between. France and Spain appears to be 4ry active. Within Ulmer@ seven have passed through Bayonne to and from Madrid. The Bayonne papers repeat the rnmour noticed before in the Parisjournals, that a commercial treaty has been con eluded between Great Britain and Spin, and even point out some [arrangements which are to be made for the purpose of keeping up arek i tlar comma nication between the two countries a ft ei: occurience of that event. It appeen. by accentktkef the Sib inst. from Lisbon, that besides entering-ittoati offensive and defensive alliance with Spain, the Potfegiese Cortes have admitted a project of law for" comp:Wing the regi ments and battalions of the first lines to the full strength they had before 1814, in order to supply the deficit caused by the expeditions sent to Brasil." Reports from the Spanish frontiers in the French papers are various. One of Mina's divisions, it is said, has been repulsed in an attack on Seo d'Urgel. The intel ligence relative to the Greeks is highly favourable. It is now said that the Turks lost twenty vessels, besides the Admiral's ship, through the effects of Grecian en _ terprise. FAINCH I'UNDS, PARIS, Dec. 24.—Five per Ceot. Consols opened at Sac., closed at 871.65 e. ; Neapolitan 5 per cents, 7621..—Excloutge on Londe*, one month; 25f. 45e.; three months, 25f. 30c.—(Coura Atetheitique.) After the regular markets, they fell still lower, and I closed at 871.30 c. ie. letblng bad been settled with the Duke t that is to stay, between nand the Park,s vols. If this be the mean• iog, and if Datinti. Stzwawr is sot tipplog us an eclair, we an clearly parties to the enterprise against Spain ; for, what is moaned, or CM be weaned, by Deist, when he says, that no difirence of opinion existed with respect to " Ike interference ?" Wily, It means, tie right and the expediency?) . interfering ; and; it appears frog the Courier, that in this opinion OUR GREATEST CA MAIN CONCURRED! Do you mess that, Da• mit.? Do you mean to say that, BD. High Sheriff of Oxfordshire that was to be? Seigueur de I'Eclair, is that what yon mean ? Very well, then, according to all was settled between the Bow-doss and the Duke, except the mode and time of the French making the at tack ! This is comfortable sees for our friend, the Chronicle! And our sick neighbour, the Tramper, then! Comfortable news for the Hospital, in which the poor Tramper is a subject ; or, indeed, we should call it a Bed/ens ; for the poor souls in it, Lord KiNTON ' II late paper, the Globs, the Tramper, and the British Press, have been raring away at a shocking rate, for two months past, against our "war-like" productions ! If war should take place, according to " mode and lime," these poor creatures (if thry have any scam of shame left) will certainly commit violence on themselves. however, they are safe from the Cross Roads and the stake ; flr, we are ready (and it would be our duty) to come :steward, and to raiakeeeth,that they have all been mad for a long time past. But, it is possible, that Brother DANIEL may mean, that " nothitig wall," when the Duke came from Paris," decisi►ely settled" amonget the French themselves ; that there was no difference of opinion AMONGST THEM. about the right and expe diency of attacking the Spaniards. In this case the Duke is merely Dastet.'s witennonger ; and he picked up this news at Paris ! Take it either way, the news is warlike ; the news is decisive for war ; and the only doubt that can remain is, as to the" mode and the time ;" that is to say, unless Brother DANIIIL be tipping us an Eclair. We think that the news is true ; that the mode nil! be by marching and by shooting; and that the time will be, just about that, when our Lord Johns and Lord Charleses are in the thick of the mess of Agri cultural Petitions end Distress. Just then will our polite neighbours take .f their hats, and walk into Spain. BATII AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The matter, brought forth io these Institutions of I Polly, is generally of surprisingly little conseqaenco.,..' In the present ease, however, it is worthy of remark; for, it shows what• some of the rich, or once rich, use's have to say, out of Parliament, &int the present state of Weis. —This meeting took place, at Bath, some five weeks back. The Marquess of LCII3DOWN was Jelin, Chair.—lt is the custom of the. Society to appoint. 11: Committee to make a report Wink It is as extreowelt childish concern, and that is rho terth of it. It is like playing tat Pelianieets, as the boys do at soldiers.— However, such is tha practice; sad it appears that the report this year, was in a very dismal tone. Sir Joni Coz Hieessurr, and a wino( the name of LILLY, and a man by the name of PATIVS, were for setting aide Usti report, because it tended to dispirit the farmers ; that is to say, tended to prevent them from giving tblie last shilling to the landlord and the paean. pretty long diecussios, however, this project of setting aside the report was abandoned. And new we have nothing farther to remark on 'except a passage in the, speech of Mr. Wan Wiens. who lately lived at hie house near Guildford in Starry, which house is now let to one of the lucky mortals who belong to the funding or dead-weight system; and on a passage of the Mae quell of LANSDOWN. Mr. Werra WISTON is (in nal Bath and Cheltenham Gazette, of Tuesday. the titli of December), reported to have raid : " lie himself had farms in Sorry which he could not " let at any price. His neighbour, hit. Page, had every " acre of his estates on hand. At the present prices, no " farmer could make such pro fi ts as would pay even low " rents, his taxes, and his poor's rates. go did 'stet " ham what had become of British spirit ; for the pr.. " perry of the oldest jumilies was now become the prey “of the tribe of Less. He was no speculator in land ; " his estates had been in his family for centuries, and •yet he had been taunted as being a:pees/aloe, at a pub .. lie meeting, by a Man whom, let who mon/d reepect, ."he did not :he meant Mr. Cohbat. It was true, be "bad been a life and property man; he hail been fool - 4 enough to yen./ thousands to support a system, which "bad preyed .ruinous to its supporters. He had bad "his regiment of infantry, and has regiment of cavalry "too, in his time, and had figured away on his charger, "with a sabre in his hand, and a dashing military cost ".on his back. He bad frequently been told of Isis folly h y i" a nobleinao, his neighbour ; . bot had been too blind Flo see his error, and he now had the consolation, when a be met that Noble Lord, to he taunted with the reward "be had met for being a life-and-property man—that " the system had spared his life, but bad taken away his " property. He considered a fictitious paper co eeeee y "the groundwork of their ruin, and the sudden reeve altos cash payments bad completed the work of destree latinn. Whilst the system was nourishing, lie, in coin. 111011 with others, hid thought it prodigiously good ; !drain had, in conseqnence, thrice raised his nuts. but '"he could with truth affirni that i.e never was the richer., .•• - . Now, we hope, that Mr. Wenn Warns, did not say, about Mr. COMPIITT. what is here imputed to him. The gentleman acknowledges, that he has been any thing but • wise man; ►•t, we sboalel be sorry to Ititd, that he has been guilty of teiylit and nudieionefiette• hood. Not only does Mr. COBBLTT dewy ever having called him a speculator, or called him by any ill name, or spoken of him in a disrespectful manner; but, it is evident, from circumstances, that the charge. as it is re• ported here, cannot be Ire. Mr. CORBETT has been said to have called him a speculator at a County Med iu.. The only counties in which Mr. C ever was at such Meeting, were Hampshire, Survey, and Kent. That he mentioned Mr. Witsforesname lb Hamp shire or Kent, is undeniable. And, at both the meetings in Surrey; the only two at which Mr. COB/MITT has been present is that county. Mr. WESTON also was present. And every one must believe, that if he bad called Mr. WS/ITO:. a specalator to his fare. Mr. WUTON would MIA have remained silent; and it is very certain that be sever opened his lips woo the subjeet at either of those meetings. Add to this the circumstance that Mr. Con- SSTS was born only about sixteen, relies frets the family m ansion - house of Er , WISTON. Me has {mire, sad he must hate known, that Mr. Wasrow hisfamily lave for ages, been gentlemen in Surrey. The fact,tlaeret ate , is witol4 false. How it came into Mr. WESTON'S heed it is not fur us to say. As to Mr. WESTON ant haciaa flay respect for Mr. CONOETT, before lie wade this deals. ration he might have stopped 'till the laiter bad said cr done something which woula lead Mr. Wasrox to sap. pose that Mr. Uossair was sedition or obtaiaiag li:s respect. If we can believe, which we can, a hat al.. WISTON says of himself here, we should be led to salvo i that the want of possessing his geed opinion is cost thing likely to break the heart of any mu.
