THE 1.0-N-4). ON jOintNALS. DAILY Ea4raets from the Morning Papers, Ap►•il 24. [I4IORNING- CHRONICLE.] We alluded a few days ago to the march of a large body of Russians to support the French. Though sonte persons may yet doubt this intelli gence, we again state that such a force is. eon centlating. Even if common sense did not tell us that the French Government would never havo4dvanced against Spain without a cur tainty-orSupport, we must have been prepar ed for the co-operatton of Rtissia by .Mr. Canning's answer to Mr. Warre in the House of Commons the other evening; that though no regular Treaty was signed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to support France • with all their force and power in invading Spain, yet he did not mean to say that there were. not assurances or untrerstandings .upon the subject between these Allied:Sovereigns- and France. — The decision of the House of Commons on Sir F. Burdett's motion is most important. It evinces that the House is strongly impressed with the necessity of inquiring into the state of Ireland; and that on this subject it will not yield to either the compromising or the intolerant party in the Cabinet. If Mr. Plunkett be true to himself or to his duties—if Lord Wellesley's Government be true to itself or its dutitA--and, if both fail (which we would most unwillingly anticipate), —.-- if there be any one Member 'of the House of Commons, possessing the necessary local infor mation, who will do his duty,, advantages the most important must result.. to Ireland from the inquiry about to commence at the Bar of the House. To Mr.-Abercromby's motion there was a most impotent conclusion. On that occasion, us on former introductions of the Orange question, there was shewn a tenderness towards the association, something like , the fond partiality of a weak parent to the mischiefs of a• spoiled Child. It is thus that the tranquillity of a nation, that the happiness of a people, have been trilled with. — We have do doubt the progressive assumption of the Orange Societieshas not escaped observation. In 1816, on a Petition stating certain declara tions made to the Petitioner by ihe.present Irish Lord Chancellor, and the late Irish Attorney• General, approving of the principles, of the Orange Societies and their conditional allegiance, Mr. Peel, then' Irish Minister, said in his place (see Morning Chronicle of 14th June, 1816) " With respect to the alleged conversations with the Lord Chancellar and the Attorney-Lieneral, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman Cllr, Brougham) had thoughtlo reduce him to this ililetorna, either to treat the matter lightly, or to say they were , positive falsehoods. But the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had no right to put them in this dilemma. He had no right, by a mere statement of an alleged conv e rsation with twoof the highest Law Authorities, to sa you must come down with your adidavits to disprove it. lie would tell hint he bad never thought he even to inquire into the subject. A Government ,would indeed be to be pitied, whose Chancellor and Attorney. General should, in a eonvirsation with an individual disaatiatied with their conduct, have so little discretion us to utter little less than treason against the Government under Which they were acting. Re bad nothing to say in contradiction to this 'part of therstatement, and if the Hon. Gentleman chose to express his belief in it, there lie must leave him." • ['rue Times.] There is clearly nothing at present upon whic the .welfare ef_ the_ nation so' muck_ depends as upon the pacification of Ireland. Probably neither ancient nor modern, times present an instance of a country so governed for the space of 30 years as to become every year ,more and more turbulent In itself—every year more and more disaffected to the dominant state—every year less likely to subside into peace and constitutional obedience. It is clear that an Administration which should pacify Ireland would be the greatest blessing that this country has ever possessed since the Otte of the Revolution. With what astonish ment, therefore, must it be (if any political absurdity could create astonishment) that the nation incessantly hears the members of the present Administration boasting that discordance of prin ciple among themselves, and that adherence of each to his individual opinion with respect to the propermode of governing Ireland, which must for ever keep the country in a state of riot and confusion. What should we have said of .Buo naparte, if he had thus, governed his subject or federative States ?—Last Thursday night Mr. Wynn declared 44 that his great object in coming into office was to serve. the Catholic 80dy." 7 - , Ha spoke of the Irish es enjoying since that time 44 the advantage of the most impartial and conciliatory , Government." Hereupon Mr. • Peel, a Gentleman, holding ostensibly a higher situation in the present Ministry than Mr. Wynn, but with less Parliamentary influence at his back, go t up, and he also stated his late accession to office to have been on the express understanding that Se should retain and profess his old opinions with respect, to the Irish affairs is, opinions, directly contrary to those of Mr. Wyno. So that these two Gentlemen enter the, Ministry—the one with the hope of carry ing—,and.the other with the view of impeding, the Catholic question : aid as to a conciliatory Administratinn, Mr. Peel declares the mode of governing Ireland, during the dose when he acted as first Secretary, to have 'been the very paragon of 'conciliation. 44 W ell, G ontlemeu," we should say, " all this may 'be very true ;. 44 you retain your opinions in the teeth of tg each other with exemplary pertinacity; but what goo 4 does that do to Ireland ?" Were Ake Government of Ireland a secondary consideration, members of the same administra tion _might perhaps be allowed to differ in opi nion on the subject, as all men. who act together must make some sacrifice on minute points. But what is there of equal or nearly equal importance to England with the pacification of Ireland ? and. ought men to sit in the same Cabinet, who are totally opposed to each .Other, and make it a point of honour to assert that opposition r as to the course to be pursued on' so vital a question'? These assertions and boasts,oaly inform us that Ireland is- to be lost to the empire, so long as such discordant councilfi are tolerated. feutrisn PRESS.] The report is general in Paris, that the Spanish Cabinet has issued a declaration in answer to that of,Angonleine's on entering that country., which has been received, it is said, in Paris ; but, from the bitter truths it telli, the 'French Ministers will not suffer its appearance in their Jew-rnals.— Moncey, the aid French-Marshal, hits,, it appears, at length entered Catalonia ; Milan:' corps, one of his divisions,• penetrated by Figueras, and that of Curial (so long in the vicinity of Perpignan) entered by Carnpredon. The first progress of this part of the invading army is said to have been snc cessful. At Cumin°, Milans encountered a body of the Constitutional troops, and after a short but sangufnary engagement, in which it is said the Spaniards suffered severely, they were defeated : tw o hundred are asserted to have been taken prisoners, who it is added afterwards enlisted in the French army. Interrupted as the direct communications now are with Spain, we cannot for a while hope to have any authentic intelli gence. All the accounts that come through France will be of course garbled and made up, and this latter we believe to be in a very great degree exaggerated. The Bayonne Papers, which we have received to the 16th, state, that the ferocious Trappist, Antonio Maragnon, had been arrested by orders of the Duke of An gouleme, for having violated his orders, and ill-treated the Constitutionalists. This news, it is added, has made " the adherents of the Faith tremble with indignation." If Angouleme goes on in this way, acting with the semblance of any thing like justice, the alliance between him and the bandits of the Faith will be very short-lived indeed. Their object is plunder and assassi nation ; and if the Trappist, or any others of these wretchess, are baulked in their pur suit • through the interference of the French, they will soon turn on their allies, and try to cut their throats and rob them also. It was, it seems, as a protection against these miscreants, that Bilboa (at the reeluest of the inhabitants), was occupied by the French ; and a line, in conse quence, was drawn, which the Army of the Faith were not to pass. I'ampeluna is stated to be firm, and determined to hold out to the lust ; 1,700 Constitutional troops are stated to have entered lately, bringing a large supply of cattle with them. Canuel's division has been ordered to replace that of Count Bourke, before St. Sebastian, which is to move forward. An Ambassador of the Holy , Alliance (most probably Russian), is mentioned to have arrived, deputed to the circle of fugitive traitors called the Junta of Spain, who were then at Orthes. Austria is new stated to be more than lukewarm in the invasion of Spain. The power and influence of Russia have excited her jealotvy ; and she is said, on the presentation of a late note by Mr. Gordon, the British Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Vienna, on the affairs of Spain, to have coincided in all our sentiments respecting that country. 1 . 1111*.w T 1 MEL] The Telegraphic Dispatch, which we published yesterday morning, is of great moment,as a proof of the inability of the Constitutionalists in Spain to make a stand against their opponents. Already has the French army traversed the whole of Bis cay without imiletliment. It enters Old Castille, and finds in its way the strong fortress of Pan eorbo, with no less than thirty•one pieces of can non, all of which are instantly abandoned ! A still more impiortant capture of the port of Guetaria, which enables the French Government to provi sion its troops by sea. It may be remembered with what difficulty and at, what immense ex. pence our army in the Peninsula was furnished with ammunition and provisions, until we bound means to dispatch vessels to different ports with the requisite supplies. But perhaps the most remarkable feature in the recent intel ligence is the cordiality with which the Duke d'Angouleme is greeted by the Spaniards as the Liberator of their Country. They look upon him with respect and veneration, as a Prince of the Royal House of their Sovereign. They see in him the Commander of a force , which comes to break a yoke that they find intolerable. It has been truly observed, that the Spanish Nation is, of all the European People, that which will least brook any interference from abroad. Great therefore must be their hostility to the revolutionary , system, when, in order to overturn that system, they gladly court the aid of Foreigners ! The Bayonne Letters seek to weaken the impression of this striking fact, by throwing out hints, of a disagreement between the Duke d'Angouleme and the Royalist Chief called " the Trappist ;" but this is probably only part of their constant system of fabrication. We have alreadyobserved upon the remarkable circum stance that Bayonne is suffered to be tho resort of a set of individuals whose objectis to spread alarm and discouragement throughout France. The Minister of the interior, one would think, might easily counteract themanceuvres of these gentry ; but, perhaps, in the curious complexities of political intrigue, his Excellency may have personal reasons for not interfering. Be this as it, may, the fact is certain, that the Bayonne Newspapers are in the hands of the Liberal fac tion ; cud that their announcements of ill success to the Royalist cause have been constantly fal sifted by the event. Nevertheless they go on prophesying evil ; and their delusive statements are eagerly caught up and re-echoed by their brother Revolutionists throughout Europe. The truth, however, appears gradually to pierce through the veil which has hitherto been spread over Spanish affairs. Facts are stubborn things : and there canitardly be a more convincing fact than that the French invading Army tins ad vanced without resistance into Old Castille. [.MORNING POST.] If the 'Opposition entertained any hope that the additional Papers which they called, upon Ministers to lay before Parliament would furnish them with any pretext for arraigning the conduct of the British Government in the re cent negotiations, they must now experience no common dis appointment: Papers' already before the world were sufficient to establish. the 'fact, that the diplomatic pro. ceedings' of England, had-been • as honourable 'and wise, •as her • policy was discreet and manly. But these addl., tiimal documents afford' still ' clearer prods and more splendid illustrations of the high talents,' the coniummate pro. denceohe unvarying consistency, and the immaculate honour which haVe guided the Councils of the country. It was asserted that the negociators on the part of England had neglected, by declarations and remonstrancet syfficiently distinct and tine; qUlVocal, to manifest the disapprobation of the'couritry on the projected invasion of an independent State, and on the assump tion of a right to interfere withits internal regulations. This assertion, we suppose, will never be repeated._ We quote the language of Lord Castlereagh, addrsssed to the four Courts of ,France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, so long ago as the year 1820, when the recent change of affairs in Spain, and the un confirmed and unsettled state of her institutions, became first a subject of anxiety to the other European Powers. Speaking then of the alliance of the four great Powers, he says—" It never Was intended as an union for the government of the world, or for the "superintendence of the internal affairs of other nations." —And again, in,the same Paper, adverting to the supposed danger of revolutionary example, he declares that England "-cannot, and will not, act upon . abstract and speculative principle of precaution. The alliance," he goes on to say, " which exists, had no such purpose in view in its original formation. It was never so explained to Paliament ; if it had, most assuredly, the sanction of Parliament would never have been given to it." We cannot read these paragraphs . of a State Paper now first brought to light without an offering of ipontaneous homage to the memory of its author—a States man, who, at the very moment when he was holding e. this dignified and constitutional language to Foreign States, was at home loudly and grossly reproached as one who favoured the views and practices of despotism and oppression.— Lamented Castlereagh ! Well mightest thou endure with equanimity the taunts 9r invectives of party malice, conscious, that in the archives of the State there existed monuments like these of . thy genuine love of freedom, of thy regulated devo tion to the great cause of human happiness, of tht generous advocacy of the rights of national independence ! This lan guage could havisuggested itself to no man whose mind was not imbued with consititutional principles, and whose heart did not overflow with the feelings of a patriot. Here is no as sumption of supreme power for the Executive Government ; thepther members of this great and powerful alliance are told that the English Parliament would have withheld its sanction From any alliance that involved a prospective violation of the rights of independent nations. -Is there any other language of remonstrance—is there any other form of protest which the imagination can devise, - or which words can convey, so de cided as this ?

CoronerOn Tuesday an a ins i t l er i a n il( i d u n i ri n r w y, as held b at the General efo p re the en iten. tiary, blillbank, to ascertain the death of Ann Martin, a female convict., aged 22. Mr. Robert Chapman, the new Governor, stated that the ded ceased and her sister, Sarah Martin, had been convicted of felony at Exeter, during the Spring Assizes of 11319, and sen tenced to seven years' transportation, but that punishment had been commuted to five years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Mr. J. Pratt, surgeon to the prison, stated, that the deceased had complained of indisposition—the last time in January last —and was admitted into the infirmary. There was such 0 Be' neral relaxation in her frame that she voided every thing invo luntarily ; she was affected with a scrofulous disorder ; every ever e a ht hpb t hee t attent i o n rTy,n l ast ssaih brought t i c i esn o iruli k, w or ostn a s he paid dithid,nr ees adbate was the eha:nrsrefiztedcoirunneshs t. constant nt tiaia infirmary , nntetededrnedthecae a sn indisposed cee deceased, witness' she s taliatde more . w h fre quentlya For t . po Sa tr her.
