" Being conscious of our innocence, and protected by the gerusssees which are provided by the Commotion, we view ssitimertbooasivieso or alarm the efforts that are made, at all hazards, to implicate as in the celebrated process witch has been iaaliialed SOiletrillOt the events of the month of last July.

So great has been our confidence In the rectitude of our conduct, and au fully were we persuaded tbat we had for a single instant forgotten our duty to our country and your Majesty, that even in the most critical moments we have employed the frisk and severe language of truth, al ways consulting what we believed to be consistent with the honour and the liberty of the nation.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1822. The followipg is an extract from the leading arti cle of the Courier of last night : " We apprehend that the deliberations of the Congress are drawing towards • close, and that, before our Paper of to-day shall have reached our reader., the main points which have occupied their attention will have been decided, and some of the Plenipotentiaries, probably the Duke of WELLING TON and the Vicomte Da MONTMORIINCY, have taken their departure. It will be found, we believe, that France has succeeded in carrying the claim which she urged from the commencement of the bitting, of the Congress, and even previously dur ing the preliminary conferences at Vienna. This claim related, as we have more than once said, to the right of an armed intervention on the part of Frail= in the affair, of Spain. lo this claim she has been supported by all the Continental Powers, bet more particularly by owe of those Powers. And the result is asserted to have been, that a Note has been drawn up,"signed in alphabetical order, by Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia. acknow ledging the right claimed by France, leaving it to her to exercise It, and make war upon Spain, if she deem it expedient." The Courier,j,t will be seen, dues not make these statements puaWvrly or from authority ; it only 44 a ppiegirds," and " believes." But should these statements prove correct—should it indeed be true that Austria, Prussia, and Russia, have acknow ledged the right of an armed intervention D• the part of France in the affairs of Spain, then we he sitate not to affirm, that in the history or unprinci pled ambition, the Congress of Verona will be in famously preeminent. If whet the Courier states be true, the members of the Holy. Alliance are the enemies of mankind. No revolution was ever less bkiodless than that of Spain; no people l under the same provocation ever displayed more :~ reign bayonets are about to overthrow. Awed by forte or seduced by fraud, Cnraitair and Faint. NAND abdicated their throne, and conveyed the so vereignty of Spain to NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The people, left to themselves, first formed Provincial Juntas of Government, then a Central Junta, and, lastly, under the express sanction arid encouragement of this country, convened the Cortes, framed a free Representative Government, with a limited Monarch at its head, and elected FERDINAND for their King. It is al. , up to be remembered, that FERDINAND .s from the flirt, not an hereditui, but an elected Monarch. Both his fath er a nd hinilf had formally abdicated the throne; and if this abdicatron, obtained by force or fraud, was not to he considered as binding, still the hereditary right reverted to his father, and not to him. If FERDINAND was not au elortad Moirlikthr he was the usurper of his father', thrbne. Dri g ring the lifetime of his father, he could have no conceiv able right to the crown, except that which the suf frage of the nation gave him. The nation placed flan on the throne, but placed him there with powers limited by law. When he overstepped those powers—when he refused to accept the crown under the limitations impored by those who placed it 01) his head, lie left himself without title, either here ditary or elective, and could he regarded in nu other light than that of an usurper. After a fright. ful reign of despotism and terror, the people rose, and re-established the Constitution of the Cotter ; but, with a magnanimity and moderation of which the history of the world affords no brighter ex ample, they forebore to punish the treason by which that Constitution was suspended, and while they took securities for the future, inflicted no vengeance fur the past. The political crimes of CHARLES I. and James 11. were as dust in the ha lance when weighed 'Tams( those a FERDI NAND VII. Yet FERDINAND was not only spared, but re-elected to the throne. Where, then, is the pretext (or foreign intervention in the affairs of Spain I Abandoned by : llitli Monarchs, and left to their own guidance, the people reverted to their ancient institutions, and re-established that free Conyiturion of the Cortes which their forefathers had sojoyed. Let nut the despots of Europe touch that Constitution.

The Doha* Evening Post of the 28th ult. con tains an afflicting account of a meeting of " the Landed Proprietors and "Occupipr,s 9 f Land in the County of Galway," held at Louglicea, when it wai l resolved to present a Petition to Parliament, pray ing such legislative interference as the Rouse, in its wisdom, should deem necessary to save that county from the impending roil, with which it is threatened, in consequence of the unprecedented fall, as well in the prices of cattle, as of every de scription of agricultural produce. From certain resolutions entered into at the same meeting, it would seem that considerable doubts are entertained, if not of the fidelity,; it, least of the disposition, of the county Members Son this occasion; and accordingly they have been called upon to state, in express terms, whether, upon the introduction of the Petition, they will support in the spirit in which it is written. The result of this application is, of coarse, not yet known ; but we, who pretend to no knowledge of the local politics of Galway, or of the feelings by which its Representatives may he swayed, can con ceive no motives sdfflciently strong (silent of falsity in the allegations of the Petition) to warrant those Gentlemen in declining this imperalin4iity. A little time, however, will settle th* of the question—and a little further timegißsffoid the freeholders of the county of Galway an opporkus ui visiting any spostacy on thet o rtifi ts i ts pre .. be. with that desetipticiik •rs limetit 1. .ove all others, they will be Niel) to feel met. Although the extreme wretchedness of one por tion or other of the sister kingdom has been the chief theme of every Irish Newspaper for • long series of years—and thoagh, of late, it has been our painful duty, ever and over again, to harrow the fellings of our readers with details of the rapines, house-burnings, and murders with which these Journals abound—still, if we may judge from pri- vote and well-authenticated accounts, it would seem that even yet we have but a very imperfect notion of the distresses which universally prevail throo ut that ill-fated country. We were aware, . d, that these distresses were not entirely confine to the inhabitants of those districts whirl systrni of misrule had driven to the flagrant and appalling crimes, and from their len tumultuous neighbours the first to rise to the outline iii a gei of public iudigustion and despair. ignorant that the agricultural intern were at a lower rbb than many supposed possibly ever sink to, without leaving perish. We us to believe to corornuoity mechanical and letual ptinper: , , _ _von our minds, as to the condition of the Irish people, it ,Aill oat ' tsupposed that we entertained any very sanguias ectations of a speedy amelioration of their state. But, deceiving that the nobility and gentry of Ireland, though necessarily affected to a certain ex tent by the drp inferior orders of society, had still stamina left to enable them to afford at leek partial support to their to!. tering dependants, we were willing to believe that the situation of Ireland, desperate as it appear, ed, wet not altogether hopeless. ll'lien we re. , II reit ti, moreover, that this enduring people were under the guardianship of a Government, whose supreme wisdom is the glory of English men, and " the a tins of surrounding na tions," we could Art, with all the evidence of post misdeeds before our eyes, persuade ourselves that it was the serious intentiml of these sage rulers to employ words instead of deeds, upon an occa stool so momentous, or to leave the regeneration of tint iniportapt branch of the empire to the rude hands of saptasperated multitude. Yet this our worthy MiniiWe seem determined to du! and to this, rse fear, the thing must come at last ; foe it is inconceivable that the aff.irs of Ireland ca Il s ke . much longer in their present poi.ition. . lito le population of that county'; is involvid common ruin:—throughout 'the vp l ige OHAK. of society, from its centre to its cirri* I lfereoce, nothing is to be found, but either e:- 1 turate distress or abject poverty—nothing to be heir but unavailing complaint. If there be any amongst them who, upon the meeting of Parbanient, shill ape. themselves to be pre vailed upon to wiss) contrary, we can only say that' they will - tell a very different story here from that which they era Its the habit of enteriaming their cedfulous tradesmen on the other site of the Chlrite!. The testimony of such partisans, however, is, in fact, no more a proof that the pressing evils of heisted are of a local and partial nature, or that they are remediable by half-measures, than the pri vilege of exemption from arrest, enjoyed by some Honourable Gentlemen, is of the punctual fulfil ment of their pecuniary engagements; and so long as Ireland continues to furnish living evidence of the mal-administration of her affairs, Ministers may rest assured that the world will pay eery little at tention to what placemen, pensioners, and expect ants may soy noon the subject. To enumerate all the ills which beset the people of that unfortunate nation, would require a much greater space than we can now devote to the discussion. They complain, arid justly embidain, that they labour under griev and turpreelhed oppressions; that the exactions of the State bear no proportion to their means of defravissg them; that their remonstrances, however urgent or respectful, are either wholly neglected or ariswered by tedious ~ !speeches in Parliament, which mean nothing, and end In what they mean ; sod that now, after years of ineffectual appeal to the justice of their rulers, their country pre sents a scene of woe and suffering unparal leled in the history of civilized Europe. But the constant cry raised by the conscientious sup porters of the present hopeful system, whenever an attempt is made to obtain relief for the people, is—What can the Government do ? Do you want Ministers to perform miracles? ‘ithat you say may be true cnotsgh, but where is the remedy ? To till which, were we disposed to evade the question, we might fairly answer-kit is not for us to tell yogi' patrons what they ought to do. We apprize them of4he evil, and it is their business, not ours, to find the'remedy. They are well paid for their servil, and if they are incapable of devising any means remove, or at least lighten, the load that now presses the people of Ireland to the earth, they are, unfit for the p!aces which they hold. Will the pretend to attribute the deplorable condition fine country to any errors of her own, or to peculiarity in her soil, her climate, or her geog pineal situation ? Or can they allege any - on satisfactory reason, moral or physical, why two thirds of the population of one of the most fertile countries in the world should necessarily be starving in a season of profound peace, and while her ware houses and granaries are choked with provision? The reiteration of such question!, however, by the champions of corruption, is mere trifling; for Ministers 'have - been toll* 'again and again, what they ?night do, sod what they should do, sod what at last they west do, if they would preserve the country : and ego now, for the thousandth time, re peat the principal part of the lesson in two words— reduce tazaheo! Without thie, England will never be happy—beheld will never be quiet—the Coo. stituttou can never be safe.
