fliE LONDON JOU DAILY kstructs from the Morning Paper's, Feb. 23, 159.5. [MORNING rosT.] 'There are, one or two recen t facts, which, we think, are calculated to enforce the neceshe first we -shall- mo tice is, that Dr Curtis, the Titular l'rimate of Ireland, since his 'Alajesty's Govern- Nment have announced their intention of utting ito.w.n that Body, has addressd a letter top t, ap proving of all its proceedings, and the objects fbr which it has assetnbletl. Now, the drift, of such a letter from such a person, at the present gomen t, cannot be misunderstood. Ds authority, in a Church so well disciplined as the Romish, .4 iii of course be considered a mandate to all the Popish Prelates, Priests, &c. in Ireland to stand fast by the _Association, at the very time it it denounced by the Ministers and Legislature of country. Dr. Curtis moreover is ex-o f fiCio cobstaut communication with the See of Rome, andAhe See of Rome with the Cabinets of Mad rid airs of Paris. This Irish Primate has, in short, a species of double allegiance to discharge —one to the Pope, and another to the King of Great Britain ; and may we not ask, whether it ;s probable, if his Holiness had recommended the suppres•ion of any Association in his dominions, that Dr. Curtis, as soon as he heard of such a:mea sure beillg contemplated, would have applauded the existence of that Association, and, contrary to lawful authority,have encouraged its continuance? We imagine the head of the Church and the head of the State, are thought by this Prelate to be en titled to two very different sorts of obedience. Another fact of some importance as regards our present view of the subject, is the vaunted tu a uimity of all ran ks of the Irish Cics in favour of the Association. Nothing of the kind. certainly ever occured before, and it is besides indisputable that many of the highest and most influential of that religious denomination who at all former times avoided .the contamination of mobs and demagogues, have now joined in one common assault upon the Constitution. We pretend not to be able to solve these ano malies satisfactorily ; but we may be per mitted to administer one or two general interrogatorks on the subject. Is the Ca tholic Association a purely Irish Institution in origin and aim ? or has it sprung from the sug gestiou, been fostered by the secret approval, and stimulated to proceed to alarming extremes, by Foreign Powers, the enemies of England and of Protestantism ? We have always believed that this Body " meant more than met the ear ;" but whether the above afford a clue to a just inter pretation of its conduct, we shall not positively decide. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The report of a Ministerial Congress gains ground ; and as Paris is designated as the place of its sittings, we should suppose that the' af fairs of Spain would constitute the ostensible, as well as. the leading topic of discussion ; France, by means of her present Govern ment, having a collateral interest in the ques tion. As to Portugal, long and intimately as she has been connected with this country, it 7s scarcely credible that she will be cited to appear before this self-constituted European Court ; though the change from legitimate to .iberal, which has taken place in her Cabinet, may alarm the Despots of the Continent, even more than our recognition of the New American States. Such is our opinion, notwithstanding the unaccountable delay which has taken place be tween the announcement and the depazture of . 711, - C. Stuart on his extraordinary mission ; and if the latter be not carried soon into effect, it will be suspected, however unjustly, that eu: Cabinet has substituted a compromise for energy, and left Portugal, like Spain, to the good keeping of the Holy Alliance. If the noble struggle of the Greeks for their indepen deuce be brought on the tapis, it will he treated, notwithstanding its importance, as a subordinate topic ; f,er Vienna, we should suppose, would be self!ctett preference to Paris, were it the im mediate of the Congress. That a cloud hangs ovo; - °or foreign relations, is clear, from the depressed state of our funds ; and, considering the abundance of money in the Market, we are convinced th:lt Consols would have been at par before now, If their elasticity had not been com pressed by the heavy state of the political sky. [DriOnlilNG HERALD.] Some difference of opinion is said to exist among the SO pperfers of the Catholic Claims in the House, of Commons, on the expediency of bringing the question forward so early as Tues day. 1..,n,1i5h Members are for the most part the advisers of delay, whilst the Irish Gentle men are anxious for the earliest discussion. They are.probably anxious to return for the Assizes — an interesting time, it is said, for the Country Gentlemen in that part of the United Kingdom ; not merely for the due administration of justice, .which doubtless is their tirst object, but for the arrangement of what some people call County bu siness, but others denominate jobs. There is no doubt, that -surfeited as the Parliament and the people are_with Irish Catholic politics, so early a repetition—for the question will Le in substance the same, must hens tiresome, as a thrice told tale. IStit how far this disgust is likely to affect the votes is another question. It would probably have the effect of shortening, the debate. Sir F. Burdett wishes, we understand, that it should be postponed, and also very earnestly recommended, on receiving the petition, that the Catholics should take it hack, and place it in the hands of Mr. Plunkett. This suggestioe would hardly have been adopted with any regard to consistency. Mr. Plunkett, however —over whom the defection of the Whigs, and particularly of the Hon. Baronet, from him last year, as well as the squabbles of'the Dublin Association, seem to p ass rather lightly—has ex .pressed.his readjiiess to second the motion of Sir F. Burdett. So that the pe titioners lose nothing in 'the main. [THE TIMES.] The Catholic Petition, praying for emancipa tion, was to have been last night presented to the House of Commons by Sir Francis Burdett. — In the remark ur two which we have to make upon the channels through which it was open to the Catholics to get this Petition introduced into Parliament, we are sensible of no other anxiety than for the smooth and easy accomplishment of the proposed object, if accomplished it is to be. An abler or more eloquent champion than Sir Francis Burdett it would be needless to desire for any cause, involving a great question of public liberty, or of constitutional privilege. One more honest than the Honourable Baronet, more faithful, more ardent, intrepid, and uncom promising, it would be impossible to find on earth. In these respects there is nothing to gainsay as to the choice which the Catholics have made of their advocate. Sir Francis Burdett, however, expressed openly in the House of Commons, a few nights ago, and with his accustomed candour, the regret which he experienced on understand ing that the Catholics had, on the present occa sion, withdrawn their petition from Mr. Plun kett, and given it to himself. The reason for this sentiment of the Hon. Baronet was equally wise and disinterested—it was the fear that cer tain prejudices afloat against his other opinions might fasten upon his argument in behalf of emancipation, and deprive that measure of some of its less considerate adherents. It is pretty positively asserted that Sir Francis has acted upon his professions, and urged the Catholic Delegates now in London, either once more to transfer their petition to Mr. Plunkett, their ancient, powerful, and unobjec tionable advocate, or at least to postpone the presentation of it until after the passing of the new coercive bill, being apprehensive that the same panic which has helped the bill might operate simultaneously against emancipation. Report makes no secret of the answer to this pru dent advice ; nor can we doubt that it was a dis creet and judicious answer, proceeding from the " ma►► of the people," as he calls himself, or " the O'Connell," as his friends denominate that learn ed gentleman--a mode of speaking much in fashion when one talks of any lion just come to town — a new singer, conjuror, or famous practitioner on the tight rope. The story, then, goes—" that " the man of the people" declared " he could " not answer for the peace of Ireland, if there " was to be any delay !" lie could not answer for the peace of Ireland ! It is he, then, " the " O'Connell," that keeps the keys, is it, that opens and shuts the gates of the Temple of Con cord ? Is he, then, so deep in the secrets of those by whom the public peace is to be disturbed, but who must be the most stupid swine that ever fed off any road-side in Munster, if they break the King's peace and their own necks, because " the Counsellor" lacketh patience to put off for one fortnight his assault upon the nerves of Parliament, and may perchance have to wait another fortnight or so, before he can take his seat ? If the " O'Connell " has truly the power which he pretends to, of tranquillizing Ireland by a single Proclamation to the peasantry, and then the extraordinary knowledge which enables him to ascertain to a nicety for how many days the spell is to operate, how long the slumber is to endure, and at what hour the multitude are to start into motion, we can only say that he is a most fearful potentate. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Last night exhibited the House of Commons in a character, which, if we were desirous of de scribing, we should quote the indignant language of several IMembers, when expressing their sen timents last year on the scenes which took place in Committees on Private Bills. We really wonder that Members have the assurance to exhibit themselves to the country as partizans or opponents of Bills, for no other reason than that they are personally interested in the passing or rejection of them. Something, surely, is due to appea rances ; and we can con ceive nothing which looks worse than the spectacle of Judges availing themselves of their situation to decide a cause in favour of themselves. We do not expect to see men insensible to their own private advantage ; but a country must be in a very odd sort of state, in which men are sensible only to pecuniary gain or loss. It has been said that we are a canting people ; but we fear we are in considerable danger of losing our right to that title. We perceive strong symptoms among us of an approximation to the notions respecting good and evil, which a Mr. Beyle, under the name of Baron Stendahl, states to be prevalent in certain parts of Italy, namely, that nothing is bad which does not give pain, and that every thing is good which is pleasant. The Members of the House of Commons are like lights set on a bill ; they are seen a great way off ; and it is but fair to presume their e xample will not be lost on the nation. " Y sheats me, I sheets you—all fair," said one Heb rew to another. Is this to be our national de vice ? To be serious, we think the House of Commons, in justice to its own character, and in mercy to the nation, on which such ex amples of notorious and avowed self-seeking must have the most mischievous effects, bound to stem the tide of gross jobbing in private Bills. We were highly pleased to see M of these r. Hume ex erting himself to shame Members out disreputable practices. W e • trust a sufficient number of Members will second him in this praiseworthy object. If Members of Parliament are to be bribed by presents of Shares to vote for certain Bills, and against certain other Bills, why should not Judges make a bargain with litigan to share with them the sums for which a Decree s p, s iver. ? [NEW TtiNtEs.] Notwithstanding the alarms of so many politi cians at home and on the Continent, the best in formed persons at Paris are disposed to think that there is in truth very little chance of the public peace of Europe being t r oubled for se veral years. The financial engagements of the Great Powers to whom the most hostile views have been assigned make those Powers averse to measures Which w ould inevitably plunge affor d no adequate them in in embarrassments, for which the most successful war would pulsation ; and, independentlY of this consi deration, the least peaceful of these reasoners have not yet made out a case for war. The' state of the French Finances, in particular, affords a guarantee for peace,which accords with the general views of M. de Villele's Administra tion, and the personal feelings of Charles X. — When the question of reducing the French Rentes was brought forward last year, it was stated to the Chambers that the whole number of Rentiers did not exceed 145,000, and that about seven thousand of these were holders of inscriptions for one half of the sum of Rentes to be reduced. While the measure was in agita tion, a large majority of the small Rentiers sold out, and have employed their money in other ways. Their Rentes were purchased by specu lators who have successively continued to borrow money on them by bargains of purchase and sale, renewed from month to month, on the principle of the continuation in our own Stock Market. It would be no easy task to ascertain the amount of Rentes thus floating on the Bourse of Paris ; but as the number of the smaller inscriptions has been reduced in an astonishing proportion, and the difference of price from one month to another has rarely been as low as five per Cent. per annum, it may be presumed that the ' comparatively few individuals, into whose names ' they have been transferred, only hold them as deposits, on which they have lent their Capital. ; I Of these Capitalists, the larger part, who may be considered as Cosmopolites, and only carrying their Ecus where they may make the best return, would, on any serious alarm of war, be the first to withhold their funds from the speculators. The result would he a recurrence of the scenes of 1817, under aggravated circumstances ; and to a Govern ment, which depends mainly on its public credit, the consequences of such a state of things can hardly be foreseen. In such a case, adieu to all indemnity to the emigrants ! If, therefore, M. de Villele, who in his system of reduction has from the very first calculated on the aid of fo reign, and more especially of, British Capital, re news his proposition, in the face of those acts which are supposed to place France in collision with the very Power whose pecuniary resources can only be available to her in a state of peace, is it not to be inferred that the French Govern ment has not an idea of fastening a quarrel on us ? Add to this view of the motives for peace on the side of France, that the interests of Great Bri tain are alike opposed to war, and it will be diffi cult to imagine a probability of war between the two countries. Certainly, there may be indivi dual States disposed to make a part of a confe deracy against us, but a single-handed contest might not S 9 well suit them. Peace, which has done so much for Great Britain, has been of im mense service to France. Aluch of the good is only yet ripening ; but ten years more of foreign peace and internal tranquillity will bring it to maturity, and develope r esources of which the French themselves have at present only an im perfect idea. [BaITIS►t PRESS] The proceedings in Parliament last night were heightened in effect by an unusually violent speech from Mr. Hutchinson. On the motion having been made, that the Bill for suppressing the Irish Societies should be committed, Mr. Hume, some what irregularly, proposed that it should be an instruction to the Committee to introduce a clause, requiring all officers of Government to swear that they do not belong to any Society of an unlawful character. It was explained to the Honourable Gentleman, that by the course he was taking he would only direct the Com mittee to do that which they could do without the order, if they pleased, and which they could not be compelled to do with the order, if they did not please : but lie persisted. It was satis factorily shown by Mr. Peel, that such an enact ment would be not simply inoperative, but actively pernicious, as giving to each individual a power of defining for himself the limits of the lass. It was on this question that Mr Hutchinson had the indiscretion to give utterance to language too much in accordan.'e with the spirit of the Association he was defending. It is a charge against the Catholics that their cor►- duct tends directly to the subversion of publ►c order ; and their advocates justify them by con tending, that they ought to set the authority of Government .at defiance. Is this the most con vincing mode of proving that the Catholics are as loyal and peaceful as they assert ? The Amend ment of Mr. Hume was negatived without a division, the House went into Committee on the Bill,and the Chairman having reported progress,obtained leave to sit again to-morrow.—Leave was given, in the course of the evening, to bring in several Bills for the improvement of Ireland ; one relating to the levy of Church Rates, another for the amend ment of the law of Landlord and Tenant,and the third to regulate the office of Justice of the Peace.

EDITOR—A Meeting of the British Ca tholics in Dean-street, Soho, noticed in your most useful Journal, on the 2,lst instant, induces me to hope, that you will take further notice of this Meeting, which has so much elated and inspired the lower classes of that body, thousands of whom are fed and supported by the Protestant heretics, as we are called by them to this day. The Chairman announced to the Meeting that the col lectors visited not only the houses of the poor, but the house of Royalty itself for the servants of the Duchess of KENT contributed ONE POUND ! ! !---(L43Dd applause ! ! !)—This then we presume, Mr. Editor, to be some Roman Catholic servile, probably a French Cook, ready with his carving knife to give them a lift in this country when wanted in another way. The table orator at this Meeting went on addressing the Gentle men, and telling them (mostly Knights of the Hod and Shovel,) —the money collected was for three purposes, first, to pay the expences of petitioning for a redress of grievances ! secondly, to pay men of merit for defending them against the libels and calumnies of their enemies ! ! (Enemies in a Protestant Country, mark that) ; I I and thirdly, to enable the poor to get redress in a Court of Law against the rich 1! !!--( Loud ap plause.)—(Here's pretty doctrine addressed to the lower classes in the very heart of London), in addition he went on to say we are all unani mous in seeking those rights for which our ances - tors bled ! ! !—(Let it be remembered who made the Protestants bleed in this Country ! ?) and in co-operating with Ireland for the restora tion of our freedom ; " Erin go bragh"—(Ap plause)—To conclude, this worthy said, " your contributions are perfectly legal ? No person could hinder another putting his hand into his breeches-pockets and taking his money out"--and, he might have added, to enable you to gain the ascendancy in the country, and then we'll shew them what we can do! ! A PROTESTANT CORRESPONDENT, FOR TILE SUN. IRELAND. Alit. EDITOR—WhiIe both in and out of Par liament, public attention is attracted to the state of Ireland, permit me, throngh the medium of your paper, to divert that attention into a right channel. Each time that I visit Ireland, I feel more and more convinced, that the Catholic question, though the catchword of debate to both parties, will little amend the existing state of things in that country, whichever way the State Doctors may determine it. The bane is PovertN—reckless, hopeless, help less Poverty, in the labouring class—a population, too near the verge of starvation, to be safe and trustworthy, and therefore too unsafe for master manufacturers to be investing their capital, in p l an ting establishments among them ; the result must consequently be, want of employment, and frequently disorders, only to be restrained by military force. To remedy this, I say, Let the UNION be com plete, or not at all. Let the Labour of Ireland be on a par with the Labour of England, or let us return to the former system of restricting by duties on corn and cattle exported, the price of food from rising, and of compelling the Irish to buy Irish manufactures, by a duty levied upon English goods. Not that I recommend the latter, but I contend that — While the labour of England has seven or ten million pound sterling raised annually by the Poor Laws for its assistance, and the labour of Ireland has nothing, England must attract the manufac turers of the United Kingdom —and Ireland, must want employment, must be poor, and mus t be unsafe. • The Irish Labourer, without a watch to pawn, a. good coat, bed or bedding, without furniture in his miserable cabin, or anything to raise money upon, encumbered with one or two decrepid old relations, if accident, ill health, or stagnation in trade, throw him out of employ, must starve, get sick, and--(must I remind you of the late dis tresses in the North-west of Ireland,)—must die. The English labourer has his decrepid relations supported, has all these resources to look to, and should they, one by one, become exhausted, comes upon the parish,—can.the manufactures of the two kingdoms compete under such unequal circumstances' Food and agricultural produce in the two king doms, The exce Irish g freight and charges, kept o Landholder gets more than an g aa l r i r. s " h re ntal, without any poors-rates to pay ti out of it ;—and yet his tenants have looked to England for that Charity, which in their extreme need, the Institutions of their Country refuse them. Oatmeal and Potatoes, shelter, clean straw, they are refused ! A forced Assessment for the poor, we must come to at last. Scotland, in most of its densely peopled districts is forced to adopt it, and Ireland as part of the Union, must follow. How the rate is to be raised, and how to be distributed, so that three-fourths of the population do not becorrge paupers, is a further view of the subj ect ; but Irish absentees, should no longer draw thei‘un taxed revenues from a country, that English Cha rity is most distressingly appealed to, to su pp ort, that a standing army alone keeps sub missive to the Civil Power, and that possesses, without ex ception, the moil wretched population in Europe.
