LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 13, isfi. Monday and Tuesday's French Papers reached our office yesterday, by express ; ample extracts from them will be found in our columns. After all the misery which has been inflicted en Irelard for so many centuries—after she has been made to en. counter persecution in every form, and exactions in every shape—and when, combined with all this, Great Britain has been boastfully holding up her Constitution, her laws, and her liberties, to the admiration of mankind, and pouring out the blood of Ireland and of England, to de fend these invaluable possessions against the wild theories of republican France, when khosr theories struck terror into every State of Europe ;—after all this, it is truly piT plexim.• to be told, as in the debate on Lord Althorp's motion on Tuesday evening we were told, that the country was averse to the emancipation of the Catholics; and though there was no doubt but that it would ultimately arrive, " still that would not be until the feelings of the nation had ripened towards it more favourably." We have great respect for the talents of Mr. CA s N I NG, but our respect is still greater for the character of the country, and we arc therefore very slow to believe that this account of us is just. We think too highly of the Foreign Se cretary, to believe that he really forms this estimate of British liberality and of British justice. We cannot believe him serious, in thinking that the Constitu tion of the ITniterl Empire is too weak for the protec tion of its subjects, or that Parliament, in which the reasoning power of the country resides, is frustrated in its wishes to be just, by the strong leaning towards extortion and intolerance, which prevails in the great body of the people of England. We cannot admit this charge against them to be well founded ; it would he grievous, indeed, if it were ; for as it must always be impossible to ascertain the time when it ceases to apply, it may be made a pretext for acting on the present system without mitigation and without end. Our Catholic fellow-subject has no chance of bettering his condition ; his oppression inuo remain without remedy, and his poverty continue without hope. Naked he came into the world, and naked he must go out of it, if this reasoning is to prevail. But let theftw lead ing families that reign in Ireland once resolve to extend to their fellow-countrymen the practical blessings of the British Government, and elevate thentsrlers above the mean and iniebievous ascendancy of Reef and . fitelicn ; and the result will soon shew that the blame of Ireland's, Odegradation does not rest with any remnant of bigotry or prejudice with which we of this kingdom are imbued.' Let the conciliating and consi►tent policy of the Ala Routs IVL I.l.Est Ly be cordially suppolcil by those whose whole efforts are employed to counteract it: and then, if the public feeling of the Nation so upholds this monopoly of property and power that the claims of justice cannot stand against it, the experiment will have been tried, and Parliament will stand excused. But till this experiment has been made, no Statesman is justified in laying the abuses of Ireland at our door, and scoring up the perpetuation of its tyranny to the besotted and stubborn zeal which per vades us on this side of the water. As to the present union of the Protestant Leaders for the improvement of Ireland, it is A union--deric'd from pelf, ‘{'here each contributes his whole labour, Ard, working only for Kimsey; Leaves his crimgements to his neighbour. Like those machines, absurd and puzzling, Where no one spring cont.ols the rest, All independent, and all bustling, As if they acted for the best. Bat the true condition of Inland, and the true scat of all its disorders, is becoming every day more clearly de veloped; and it will he impossible for the Orange Leaders to hold out much longer against the progress of know ledge : The battle is not to the strong, Nor to the swift of foot the race; But time and chance to ell belong, \Whether they in or ont of place. The work of violence is again commencing in the Ca tholic Association of Dublin, since the return of the, " Lawyers" from their circuits. In their absence therei was a respite from declamation and folly for some weeks; and Mr. Conway, who acted as Secretary, with a few sensible men about him, was quietly, but effectually, doing the Lusineas of the Catholics, and effecting more l real good than had been done for years before. But this quiet conduct of business would not content the " exalts- dos" of that body, or procure Mem the notoriety which is their only object. Accordingly, at the last " May-day" Meeting, all Mr. O'Counell's flowers of eloquence were again in full bloom. While proposing Mr. George Ensor as a member of the Association, and handing in the Ra dical Reformer's guinea as his admission fee, Mr. O'Connell eulogised the northern Seer, whose pen is just as ceaseless as the Irish agitator's tongue; for both agree at least in one faith and one principle, that of ceaseless discontent and clamour, anal eternal vituperation and abuse of the enlightened and impartial government of the Marquis Wellesley. Mr. Ensor is always wilting some heavy thing or the other ; few read and none remember what he writes: all subjects arc alike to him—statistical, political, or re ligious. Unfortunately, every thing coming from him as yet has fallen dead-born from the press ; a single tpro duction from his unwearied pen has scarcely lived a day : but he reads his endless essays himself, and has the in dulgence of self-applause, and he is satisfied. The old subject of Parliamentary Reform having grown completely threadbare in his hands, though he turned it in all manner of ways, the gallant Major took latterly to finding fault with the policy and measures of the Irish Viceroy, and published a series of dull letters on the subject. For this wise undertaking, a young gentleman of the name of Kirwan, just quitted school, brought forward a ridiculous motion of thanks to the Armagh Sage, which the Association, in the absence of the " lawyers," and on the representation of Mr. Conway, had the good sense to reject by a large majority, and Mr. Ensor now enrolls himself a member of that body, who properly refused to applaud his vituperation. Mr. O'CJmiell, at the meeting of the Association on the Ist of May, thought proper to assert, with that usual regard to facts that distinguishes his speeches, " that they saw the countenance his Excel lency gave to the miserable Corporation which was the fa ther of those bills, tltat every corporator, including the worthy Lord Mayor, with his face of illiberality, was now so anxious to disclaim." Now we know of no countenance Lord Wellesley has given the Dublin Corporation in par ticular, and he certainly 'lid not, and could not, approve of the unpopular Bills which the Douse of Commons re jected. But Mr. O'Connell is nothing unless he vitu perates ; he is always fishing in troubled waters,—" peace is to him the worst of wars." Now that Mr. Ensor is ad mitted a member of the Association, he may pronounce his own eulogy, and we expect to sec a lengthened harangue front him, full of self panegyric, in a few days. This is the way in which timings arc managed in that body when the " Declaimers" arc present. We sincerely wish their short-live) absence hail contiuued longer. While they were away the Association was us.fully employed ;—they re turned, and clamour and calumny have commenced again. What can the (Catholics hope from such a career but re newed disappointment and protracted bondage? We agree fully with the Cowie? in its remarks of Monday night, on the disgraceful scenes that too often occur in the Courts of Reqnests in this city. The proceedings of these tribunals are in general an outrage on the very name of justice. We ourselves called public attention to this crying grievance some weeks since,and expressed our wish that Lord Althorp's for the appointment of County Courts, had, included these " 11. ens" of justice, and either reformed or ex- ' 1 thu'inished them altogether: as at present existing they arc, Public nuisances, where the very name and forms of justice are disregarded. A miserable crowd of wretched and de prayed ht igants throng these halls, awaiting the result of the' lottery of justice dealt out there. Platoons of perjury, like dicers' oaths, every day stare the casual visitant in the face. and lie is shocked by the flagrant abuses he sees pass ing before his eves, and the corrupt and unwarrantable decisions made in nine cases out of ten for the plaintiff, merely because he has taken out the summons, and in-, creased the fees of the Court. The ass.•ssors, who sit in these courts, are men ignorant of all the forms of justice ; and many of them, from habit, at length become incorporated with their abuses. There is not at this moment a public grievance in this great city calling more loudly for redress than these Courts of Requests. They plunder " hungry wretches" of some thousands annually, contributed for the foul perversion of justice; they encourage flagrant perjury, dishonesty, and villany of every description. We wish Mr. flume, or some other member, would bring this nuisance before Parliament, and introduce a bill to suppress their existence. A more atrocious outrage has not in our memory been committed than that of which Miss Cowell . of Brompton was the victim, under a warrant from one of, these courts, and which the Ow ire stigmatizes as the nefarious act of injustice deserves. We hope the present S,ssiou will not pass away without bringing these Courts under its review, and reforming their present Constitution alusyther. • PRICES OP BI:ITISII Bank Stock 241 40a 3 per Cent.

BENJAMIN CONSTANT has arrived in Paris fr o m Switzerland. lie proposes to lay the documents which he has succeeded in procuring, in support of his election, be fore the Chainher of Deputies. The Special Commission appointed by the Chamber for the examination into the titles of eligibility, met yesterday (Saturday), and M Constant was presmit at the sitting. M. de Montignac, it is expected, will forward the Report of the Commission, which Ripon is to be heard this day (Monday.) There is no qu(•stiun but that he will take his seat among th e 771 it,,,r11 . 11. _ Affairs are going on here much as usual. Minim al, " towering in their pride of place," carry all before them with a high band. But the re-action of all this is yet to come, and it will be attended, when it does come, with its correspondent consequences: what is now Im-forming is hut a prelude to events which I fear, tranquil as we think ourselves, will ere long disturb the peacefulness of Europe. The rulers of France have at present no other tonna than their own sense of justice, and this sense of justice is constantly weakened by the extension of their power. The result will be, as under similar circumstances it a 1111 S has been, that the multitude in the coil will rise 111 their wrath, and then woe to their rulers! These reeolutiona7y movements will call up the confederacy of crowned heads, who will forthwith mush:7 their troops for " the maintenance of social order," and Europe will be again drained and drenched, to work out, for the third time, the salvation of the Bourbons. These events hang but upon the thread of ~n e man's /qr. England will do wisely to hope for the best; but to prepare for the worst, lest the worst should happen. Be assured that the power., in re have long been employed in digesting and methodizing the means of making France the preponderating. enhinet of Euroole. To effect this they must endeavour, and this will be among their first efforts, to recover their fortunes in the field. They must, and with the very first opportunity they will, enter again on a new career of glory ; for dewed upon it you have not yet seen the tri-cubmerd fig; for the last time ; and that despotism will, one day, again send forth her proclamations to the armies of the Sambre and the Meuse. The militaty ardour of France is at present pent up, but it has been long struggling for an outlet, and when it finds one, it will not be a short conflict that will content it. I write this in no dispiriting tone of prophecy. Great Britain, when her energies are wanted, is equal to any oc casion that may call them forth. But it she places her strongest reliance, as she is hut too apt to do, on her dal resource's, and her redundant capital, whenever the tuna conies that calls for either, her hopes will break under her. Iler surest, indeed her only sure support, must be looked for in the integrity of her Rulers, and in that bontst and heartfelt allegiance to the government and the consti tution, which flows from the good faith of the one, and the freedom of the other. There is no security but in these; there is no source of spirit or enthusiasm, other than these, that can be at all relied on. Whether the danger is from within or from without, these resources will carry her through ; all beyond is deception and moonshine. Passing from the political to the theatrical work' : -en Saturday, Mademoiselle G Eo an E s per: ormed at the Odeon, !when a party, dispersing themselves over different parts of the house, commenced such deafening vociferation', that the voice of the actress was wholly inaudible. It was no wonder that, under such irritating and ungallant treat ment, aji male should lose all patience. This was un happily the case : the philosophy of .Ifademoiaelle tons ok her ; she came forward, and in an angry tone declared that " such a cabal was monstrous, and not to be endured." This demonstration of indignity threw oil upon the flame; the breeze freshened instead of abating, and she was loudly called upon for an apology ; but her se.rmal spirit having been vexed beyond all corporeal sutferance, the Manager came forward to announce that Mademoiselle Geoeaxs was in violent hydet ies. Even this appeal to the gallantry and compassion of the oppo,it ion !ailed to appease the tumult, when, during a momentary suspension of hos tilities, a Commissary of Police addressed the audience front the stage, declining that Mademoiselle had misbe haved, and that the authorities would compel her to make the amende &mos able: the authorities were, no doubt, as as their word, as the lady sent a letter to one of the public papers, disclaiming all intention of giving offence to the audience, and declaring that she only meant to address herself to those who appeared to conic there avowedly as her enemies. Mademoiselle GE 0 RGES has since given in her resignation. What a magnificent triumph over a female! How honourable to Me authorities! and what a brilliant specimen of publicfreetkas ! IVINDSOII, WI DNESDAY, MAY lt.—This afternoon his Majesty took an airing, in his close carriage, up the Long-walk to the Royal Lodge. The boats concerned in the great rowing match, from Oxford to London in sixteen hours, passed this place about ten minutes past one o'clock, on their way to London, having 48 miles further to go in six hours : they left Oxford at three o'clock this morning. An immense concourse of spectators, on horse and foot, were assembled to see them. Yesterday morning the Duke and l)uchess of Clarence left their residence in Stable-yard, St. James's, for Rushy. Their Royal 'lig'mesas returned to town in the evening. The Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Princess Augusta yest..rday. Yesterday the Princess Augusta took an airing in the Park. _ The Cabinet Ministers dined with the Earl of West morland vest relay, at his house in Grosvenor-square. Yesterday Prince Pelignac (the French Ambassador), had a lung int:rview with the Chancellor of the Exche quer. The Duchess of Bedford, we are happy to state, is getting hotel.. Viscountess Bulkelcy. we are sorry to hear, is much in disposed, at her house in Stanhope-street, May-fair. Ma sat secs IN Lirs.—Yesterday morning were married, at St. George's, Hanover-square, the Marquis of Exeter, to Miss Isabella Poynts, daughter of W. S. Poynts, Esq., of Grosvenor-place. After the cerymeny the happy pair set off, in an tlegant chariot and four, for the bride's father's seat, Cowdery. Sussex, where they will pass the honeymoon.—On Thursday, the I;th instant, the Rev. John Peel, son of Sir Robert Peel, Bart., to Augusta, daughter of John Swinfen, Esq. of Swinfen House, in the county of Stafford. - The bride looked most lovely, in a superb roe and veil of Brussels lace. After a fkicaaer a hi jiairdiette at Swinfen, the happy pair set off for Malvern. We underhand that Mr. Hall's lecture on classical edu cation, at Willis's Rooms, mi Saturday last, has excited eery great interest. The Lecturer t xpldned a plan which he hail incured, by which t';c Latin langu. , :e might he ac quired in an extraordinarily short spare of time. \lr. ll. in tends' we believe, to deliver a 5e...0wl lecture in the course of a few weeks, when we hope to have the pleasure of hear ing him. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the Esst India 1i0n5..., when the following I rs took leave of the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, vie. ;—Captain 'l'lu:llas Francis Balderston. Asia ; Captain Charles Edward s, Marchioness of Ely; and Captain Thomas Niarquis, Rise, for Madras Itengal. _ _ . The period for receiving, privateprivate petitions is cmtn:,!,• , ! to the telth instant. We learn, from undoubted authority, that the curious ' anti interesting work on the Temples of Elora, by l'aptain Seely, has been patroni se d by the East India Company, who have subscrib i d fo r f or ty cop i es ; and also, that his Majesty has b e en gracion..ly j.l e ~ .41 to receive a copy of .t. through the hands o f M r . 11'. 11-vnii. This mark of respect • t 11; 0 11 Y grirt-ii . Ying to the author, slid is doubtless appreciated by him a s a flattering reward for the labour he has bestowed in e xpl or i ng ea .se magnificent vestiges of a remote ts.:e and peopl e , w i t h whose !nanny the most of lightened of the pr ese nt d ay are so li tt l e acqua i nte d. Ea s r Ixnt.tx A xll4l' iTI —Anion. , the researches of the learned and the enterprising, and the exploration, which have been going on in almost every corner of the globe, it affords matter of 'urPrile that the caverned Wonders of Elora." in the East Indies, should have been so long neglected, panicularly when it is confessed by every lover of science, who has heard even slight and imperfect accounts of them, that they dispute precedence with the Pyramids of Egypt, and might be justly ranked among the wonders of the world. A vets able work has, however, appeared. by 44P rain Seely, of the Bombay Native Infantry, entitled ‘• The drrs t 111 , a." which is minutely descriptive of these stupendott• temples and dwell , ngs, so magnificent design, so stupaidnus en size, and so extraordinary in their structure—the whole immense range of them being ..zeavated out of a solid mountain of granite rock !
