The following has been addressed by Lord Rossmore to the Editor of a Morning Paper:— Sir—On leaving London, I feel it my duty again to address the people of England, to call their attention in the most solemn manner to the peculiar, and, I may say, alarming circumstances in which the whole kingdom, and especially that part of it in which I am most immediately interested, is placed. I certainly should not again have obtruded myself upon the British public, but as his Grace, the responsible Pre mier of the Crown, has declared in his place in Parliament, on Thursday night, that it was not the intention of the Cabinet to propose any mea sure for the relief of the Roman Catholics, I hope I 'am justified in making a second appeal, connected, as I conceive their question is, with the tranquillity of Ireland. The declaration of the Prime Minister is of the last importance, not only to Ireland, but to England. It tells Ire land she is to remain a victim ; it tells England that she must continue to feed the thousands of Irish who annually cast themselves upon her shores ; nay, more, it tells the friends of civil and religious liberty, every where, what they have to expect—whether Protestants or Catho lics—what they are to expect ; advocates of li berty, or advocates of tranquillity; that the period of happiness is at all events postponed—that they have one cause and one opponent; who that opponent is they can now no longer doubt. I proved elsewhere, and that proof has not been refuted, or even denied, that England is most materially injured by the continuance of Ireland in her present condition. I wish now to do more ; I wish to show that England has common cause with Ireland, to a greater extent than even her pacification or pro sperity ; that she has common cause with Ireland in preserving the laws and the liberties of the people inviolate. It is a 'ise saying of my Lord Bacon, " that measures without men" are dead images. Had a measure of relief from the pre sent Cabinet been offered to the Catholics or Dissenters, I should have reposed little confi dence in it, knowing, as I do, the parties from whom it emanated ; at all events, I should have entertained leis fears for the repeal of the Test . and Corporation-Acts from the answer of the late highly gifted and - talented Premier of Eng land. I'll tell you why : although Mr. Canning might have created dissatisfaction in the Dis senting bodies by the answers he gave them, and apparently, I admit, with cause ; yet the inqui ring mind will not be satisfied without entering dispassionately a little beyond the mere act of dissent, and ask, is there no satisfactory reason why a mind like that of Mr. Canning should de,.. part from -his own general principles in the case of the Dissenters alone ? Might not Mr. Can ning have reasoned thus :—Did the petition of the Dissenters incorporate the removal of dis ability froth others ? If granted, would it injure the claims of others ?—would it secure the support of the Disputers in ftvour of the claims of the Roman Catholics ? Am I not justified in say ing that, in this providence of his great mind, he was probably laying the foundation of a ge neral code of freedom ? Am I not limpid to admit he had a right to suspect the Dissenters, even looking to themselves al one , as t h ey h a d then evinced - no great disposition to take into consideration. the unbearable wrongs of their Roman Catholic countrymen, and in which com elusion he felt himself fortified by the latter con duct of the Dissenters in the North of Ireland ? Was he not justified in saying to himself, if I concede the wishes of the Dissenters separately may I not weaken the common cause ? And thus he naturally decided in his own If I carry Emancipation, I secure the 'repeal of the Test .and Corporation Acts ; for if the for mer succeeds, the latter is a natural consequence. But if the latter were granted first, and sepa rately, Einancipation must he postponed, and Ireland may be sacrificed ; for I could not pos sibly, while the parties do not appear to act •to gether, succeed in both. What then was my inference ? That this answer was intended to he merely temporary, and by no means committing Mr. Canning to a persistance in refusal; and that the answer would not have been given had the Dissenters entered cordially_ into the com mon cause of all. I repeat it, he felt that, tin der existing circumstances, any encouragement held out by him would be premature, and might injure the great general cause which he had so much at heart, and of which the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, united with the re moval of the disability- from Ireland, formed se parate and component parts. How can I, for one moment, suppose the mind.which had unmasked its ruling principle, when no longer controulled by a power to which, from habit, or from necess ity, it h a d been for ce d to yield,:an4 Which i t seems t o me , with all hu mility, the hand of Providence removed, to bring about his own great purposes, to smooth the way for the introduction of . a more benign system, calculated' to shed its influence 'over the nations of the earth— , how can I suppose a Mind like his, at the moment he was interesting' himself for the liberties of America, for the liberties of Portu gal for the liberation of Greece, for the removal of the disabilities in Ireland, could descend to such an act of inconsistency as to proscribe the large, influential, and most respectable Dissent ing bodies in our country? So far from being determined to deny the Dissenters their rights, it is my opinion Mr. Canning was determined to support them, when the season arrived. What can be the objection to a union amongst bre thren in seclusion, amounting by census to about fifteen millions, including Ireland, but not including the liberal Protestants, the best friends to the cause of liberality ? And why should not Ireland be included—the main stay of the cause—on whose wounds the tears of England are now fast dropping,, --with whom the plighted faith of Government has been broken ? And, if her measure of misfortune was not sufficiently full, I fear her cause has been weakened by a fa cility'of doing her injury ; I shall not say in what quarter. I have long supported his Majesty's Govern ment in Ireland—l would continue so to do, if the present evinced any wish to adopt th e mea sures necessary for her peace. Of what conse quence is it to me who is Minister or AO is not? I belong to no party ; but when I find the old system - is to be persevered in—aen I find those in power whose cradles have been rocked in. the Ascendancy School of Ireland—who have been fostered on the lap of that power ;—when I find one of them, after admitting the dreadful state Ireland is in, that the system tried has failed, chat another should be tried-- s -when I-. see him resume office to persevere in the old system, with a characteristic coldness when she is in question—when that Minister owes his political consequence to a determined opposition to the measures I know can alone eventually tranquillize my country, how can I reconcile it to myself not to oppose, by every legitimate means, an Admi nistration in which he fills so ostensible a situa s Lion ? Every day proves to me how little the question of Ireland is understood. A. says, in a certain House, B. threatened us with unbe coming language, and therefore I'll not accede to a great imperial question, on which the proper ties, peace, and happiness of millions depend. C., a great statesman, declares he'll exclude a whole nation, " because a few Roman Catholics are, he alleges, intemperate." I am a Protestant, and I should be glad to be informed what is the intemperance of a Roman Catholic to 'me ? Why should I be debarred from my rights to return a Roman Catholic to Parliament ? If I choose to vote for him, why should my Rios litical ineligibility arise out of his being ineligible contrary to the compact ratified between two na tions ? Why should I be debarred froth living in peace and quietness, and from getting the same price for my lands I would if my country was tranquil ? Because a Roman Catholic has made use of intemperate language. A fine Statesman. like argument truly ! " No, no," says the public voice, " that cannot be ; another reason is as signed for your systematic opposition." What hopes, then, has Ireland of a shadow of peace or rest ?—Already we hear from the tribunal to which she appeals, the cold refusal. Before whom is her cause to appear ? Before th ose who have received their political education in the Castle of Dublin, and whose early march was in the train of the Ascendancy power. I repeat again, every day convinces me more and more how little the question of Ireland is understood—the inte rest of the Protestant is totally forgotten. If any Catholic was to tell me, " Oh, this is a question you have nothing to do with, it is a Catholic question entirely," I would answer, " By your leave, Sir, its my country as much as your's ; I have no property elsewhere ; my ancestors have lived here for ages. I and my children live here, and I am interested as well as you in this tre mendous question. I'll tell you more ; I'll make common cause with you in it, and if the Minis ter, contrary to the plighted faith of his Govern ment, were to attempt to re-enact the Penal Code, I would join you in opposing him." Why am I so adverse to this Ascendancy power, and what is it ? I know it well, for I was brought up under its shade. It is the evil genius oflreland, whose princi ple it is to govern her by sword. She sits en trenched in the Castle of Dublin, the Acropolis of Corruptions—there she held her Court, not to distribute her equal law, but to instruct the youth ful English senator in the dtt of goversing poor Ireland by the sword. Hence our misfortunes. There are five, at least, of those statesmen in the present Administration. The early poison is in haled—,Ascendancy principle takes root —pre judice prevails, and bigotry covers all the land. Here she makes Protestantism a good trade, monopoly the law, remonstrance against it dis loyalty ; she would have made the illustrious name of Grattan a term of reproach—she drove the immortal Abercrombie from our shore, the bravest of the brave, because his honevolent mind would not consent to carry free quarter and de solation in our 6elitis, and become accessory to reviv e ag4ip, the day of Elizabeth, marked in the gloomy pages of our history, and recorded in the lamentations of Sir John Davis. I heard the parting words of Abercronshie ; I was o f ten with him ; I shall never forget them ; there are those alive who heard the same I will never draw usy sword upon Paddy." He dropped the prophetic tear of mourning upon our fate, and his departure from Ireland was more creditable to him than the victory which closed his honour able career. Prom such a subject, Englishmen, allow me to move the scene, and present to you another, with which all that is dear to you as freemen is connected. - I saw it first at Cintra ; and now it advances upon me " in such a ques tionable shape that I will look it in the face.

Here is the cancer with which the Union with Ireland has infected En ;land. Her fibres, imperceptibly advancing,- have now taken root—and, if not in time eradicated, will extend their ramifications, and overspread the fair face of the Constitution. Here is one of the deadly symptoms of the measure, which, properly executed, would have given security to the par ties ; but, insidiously contrived, and Jesuitically effected, has, by bad faith, destroyed the social compact. The Minister of that day, to carry the principles of the Union, strengthened him self in the Lords by the introduction of Irish.

ROSSIIORE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlRS—Among the various measures that have from time to time been adopted in this country, for the benefit of the lower classes, 1 am surprised that no associations have been, formed among the heads of families for the better government of female ser vants ; lam convinced that were such associations to be entered into, a real and lasting benefit would thereby be conferred on the servants themselves, on their employers, and on the community at large, and that we should soon see a great falling off in the ranks of those Unfortunate females who prowl about our streets, and fill our 'gaols and convict ships, and the greater number of whom once belonged to the class alluded to. - These associations might be established in every part of the'kingdom, and might be useful in various ways, but more particularly by I liscountenancingthe inordinate love of dress, which oow unfortunately pervades almost the whole' body. of female domestics, and which leads nunibers of them directly or indirectly to shame, infamy, wretch edness, and crime. It is clear that this style of dress is mitst be maintai ne d, e i t h ei . by (mite inconsistent a nd i ncompat ibl e w i t h t h e i r rate of wages, and consequent l y , sacrifice p o of thei r v i rtue.
