February 8, 1822. [MORNING POST.] The proceedings in Parliament last night were highly important, and we have ,done impartial justice to the interesting arguriants on both sides of the question. The measure proposed in the House of Commons by the Marquis of London derry, to increase the powers of the Executive in Ireland, consist of the renewal of the Insur rection Act, and the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus. It is lamentable that the circumstances of a country, which, on account of its tranquil lity, enjoyed a glorious exemption from similar measures when adopted in England a few years since, should now have experienceirguch a change as to require their applitatian. The remedy is an affliction . only secondary to the evil; and it is nee which ought not to be, Itir:,i4ed upon any people without a full conviction, oii the part of its immediate Government, that it is the only mode of cure which can prove effective. Of this conviction we seek in vain for proofs, Or even fortraces, in the dispatches of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. They show _ indeed that the military force em ployed in the' South of that island is inadequate to the maintenance of the public peace; but even this is matter of inference from the facts stated in the dispatches, and not an opinion expressed by the head, or by any member of the Irish Govern ment. The inadequacy of the laws isnot hinted at either by the informants or complainants, whose statements form the chief contents of those dispatches, and it would appear to be an idea entirely taken up in this country, had not his Majesty's Ministers assured both Housei yes terday that the recommendation came from the Irish AdminiStratioti. It is some consolation however to know; that measures so strong in themselves, and so sweeping in their nature, (for they embrace the whole extent of a coun try of which one part alone is disturbed) are not demanded for a longer period than six months. By that time the Marquis.of London derry trusts that their effect will have been pro duced, and that of course they w i ll' cease to be necessary. Should it prove otherwise, he pledges himself to bring the subject of 'their renewal be fore the House in sufficient time to allow Parlia ment to give it its fullest consideration. Upon a subject of such high interest and importance, we cannot help observing that measures of instant repression will not be sufficient to meet the ne cessity of the case, but must be followed by others of a widely different and more paternal description. _ MOTICE is hereby given, That a SPECIAL 111 GENERAL COURT of this' CORPORATION will be held hem on MONDAY, the 18th Instant, at Twelve o'Clock, to receive. the REPORT of the DIRECTORS, as to the expe diency of dispensing- pith DIVINE SERVICE in the GAELIC LANGUAGE., the practicability of carrying the game into effect, and generally on the Affairs Of the Church. •'M.

[Tut TIMES.] Some explanations took plate last night, of passages in certain speeches upon the Address.— The chief of these is important enough : Mr. Vansittart had been understood to say, that, whatever retrenchments took place, there would be no diminution of taxation. This woful de claration was attributed last night by Mr. Lush ington to misapprehension. It was only meant to be said that no such diminution of taxation would take pi:u•e as would bring the public cre ditor into jeopardy : this should seem to be rea sonable enough. Our conduct should be that of every honest and honourable man who has in. prudently embarrassed his circumstances—he should reduce his current expences to the lowett possible scale, and faithfully pay his debts. lie may have this importunate valet, that rapacious mistress, who would still hang upon him : he may have horses and hounds (as we, have soldiers —cavalry and infantry)—in which he takes de light ; but he must recollect that it was his lore of these last brought him to the brink of ruin— he must most remorselessly cashier or reduce them all. If, after every possible retrenchment, he still finds himself unable to satisfy his credi-' tors, then of course, as a matter of necessity, he must talk of composition. But even to think of compounding whilst one expence remains uncur tailed, is absolute fraud. To withdraw one six pence, ay,.one farthing, from the just demands of the public creditor, while the Civil List conti nues at its present exorbitant pitch—raised, also, as it has beeu, by nearly one-third, through the increased value of money during the last three years—would be an act of dishonesty, more scandalous than ever disgraced the old Court of France, in the zenith of its despotism and pro fligacy. [NEW TIMES.] Every person of real humanity must rejoice at the decisive measures which Parliament is taking to put down the horrible outrages in Ireland.— Not a day, not an hour, is to be lost in arming the authorities of that country with power effec tually to protect, the lives of the peaceable and well disposed. For the sake even of the poor de luded people who perpetrate these atrocities, it is indispensably necessary to arrest them in the career of crime. The least offensive light in which we can conternplate them is as men blinded by gross ignorance, and led astray by the solicitation of wretches to whom bloodshed and robbery are, a trade, and subjection to lawful authority a punishment. We confess we are astonished that any objection should be made to the imme diate enactment of the Insurrection Act. Surely it cannot be laid to the charge of Government, that they have been too forward in adopting rigo rous measures. Perhaps they might with more justice be accused of having sacrificed to feelings of humanity, in delaying the enactment of harsh laws till the excesses of ' the Insurgents had be come truly formidable. No man can cast his eye over a common news paper without being convinced that the evil is [BRITISH PRESS.] The Marquis of Londonderry submitted his promised motion last night to the House of Com mons respecting the state of Ireland. The nature of the motion, and of the speech with whiriCthe Noble 'Marquis introduced it,- disappointed us not a little, for we really had expected something like an exposition of the supposed secret motives of the insurgents, and a Statesman's view of the most effectual means of not only correcting the present evils, but of preventing their future occur rence. The Marquis of Londonderry, however, confined himself solely to a consideration of the formidable aspect of the insurrection as it now rages, and of the measures best adapted for its immediate suppression. WWI this view, he moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable the Government of Ireland to commit to safe custody all persons who may be suspected of harbouring designs dangerous to the tranquillity of the State, or as it. is more familiarly expressed, to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. This mea sure is to continue in force for only six months, but a power is reserved to the Gut ernment to propose a further extension of it previ ous to the close of the present Session of Parliament, should the state of Ireland seem to render it necessary. The Insurrection Act is at the same time to be renewed. This measure reposes in the discretion of-the Magis trates of Ireland the arbitrary power of sentenc ing to transportation, upon summary conviction, all persons who maybe found from their houses at any time from sun-set to sun-rise, without being able satisfactorily to account for the occasion of it. The Noble Marquis intimated that the ne cessity of measures thus energetic had been sug gested to his Majesty's Ministers by the Mar quis Wellesley, and the weight which deservedly belongs to the authority of this name,. no doubt exercised a very considerable influence upon the sentiments of the House of Commons. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The system of Government . pursued in Ireland leads necessarily to insubordination and -instfrrec tion, and Vv-hen, from the extremity Of suffering, the insurrection assumes an appearatiCe more than ordinarily formidable, it is met by additional mi litary-force and measures of hicreaSed,severity. The South of Ireland has now been for some time in that state "which calls for the - application of 'the grand Ministerial remedy.; and accordingly it was proposed last night in the Commons by Lord Londonderry, with the protestations. of intended mercy and kindness - usual on such an occasion. Ministers, no doubt, know that Ireland • is a fertile island, separated by a. narrow sea from. Britain, that it contains a large and wretched .po-' palation. They know also (if we may be be lieve Lord Liverpool) that its situation is un like that of any other country in Europe; it•had been so for centuries, and continued to be so still." But with this knowledge, and that of. the extent of influence and' patronage derived by them' from it, they have always been perfectly satisfied. It never seems to •• have occurred to them, that that peculiarity in the state of Ireland must have a cause or causes,and that it is the fluty of a Government •to inquire into the causes of the evils which afflict - the country placed under it,with a view to a remedy. They have•very different ideas of duty. Because the evilsof Ireland areof long conti nuance, they think this a good reason for coati-. c uing them. Still longer; because they...'existed Bth, The leaf buds of the Elder (Sambucus nigra) have burst, and its red-tinted leaflets are expanding. The flower buds of the laurel are unusually forward. Numbers of that " wee modest flower," the common daisy (bellis perennis), are in full flower. The remaining flowers of the clizysanthe mum, and the leaves of the American laburnum (cytisus la burnum) this day were no longer to be found; the keen wines • and frost of the, previous night deprived them of the residue of their virility. 9th, The blackberry still continues in full leaf; this with the holly (ilex aquefohum), and its season-proclaiming berries ; the common broom (spartium scoparium), and the furze, with its hardy and cheerfalooking blossom, are now the only orna ments of our hedges. 12th, The . polyanthus is in full flower ; the other fragments.. of the tribes of Flora remain the same as reported last month, with the exception of the chrysanthemum, who a few days.' back " her sunny robe resigned:" 16th, The berries of the Ivy (hedera helix) are rapidly swelling; this sombre evergreen, it is well known, and the nettle, flourish best. near old buildings, and perhaps for the same reason, namely; requiring a soil containing nitrate of pot ass (saltpetre). In few places does ivy grow in such monarch vast. 'less as upon the ruins of Kenilworth Castle, which the Scottlsh novellist has so well described -during the meridian of its glory ; but it is now no longer a habitation for Leicester or Elizabeth, " No high-toned clarion sounds alarms, No banner wakes the pride of arms ; But ivy, creeping year by year, . • Of growth enormous triumphs here . . Each dark festoon with pride upheaves • • Its glossy wilderness of leaves, On sturdy limbs, that, clasping, bow Broad o'er the turret's utmost brow, Encompassing, by strength alone, - In frett-work bars, the sliding stone That tells how years and storms prevail, • • And spreads its dust. upon the gale." 19th, The whole plant of the Chrysanthemum is now dead ; notwithstanding the mildness of the season, the depredations of the gardeu-mouse are by no. means so extensive as might be expected ; the best defence for the bean and pea crops, which chiefly suffer . from their attacks, is to sprinkle the surface of the soil immediately over the rows with coal-ashes.-24th. The sweet scented horehound continues in undiminished fragrance. The winter aconite (helleborus hiemilis) the winter anemone, and the American primrose, are partially in full flower.-26th. The snowdrop (galanthus nivalia), that morn star of flowers is. now coming generally into flower, and seems " As Flora's breath, by some transforming power Had changed an icicle into a flower : Its name and hue the scentless plant retains, And winter lingers in its icy veins." The male catkin of the filbert, with its crimson coronet, is generally .pparent.—l was this day shewn a gum cistus with several flower buds, within a few days of expansion, growing in an open exposure. The heads of the common artiefioke are rapidly advancing. Things past, we readily confess, are too apt to fade frdm the records o. our memory ; and thus are we rendered incapable of a strictly - just comparison between things that have been, and thingi that are. This, however, being admitted, I believe, With little fear of contradiction, it may be advanced, that a January equal to that nowboncluded, in mildness and joyous aspect, few can remember to have been equalled, and none to have been surpassed. We may conclude, that it was a morning as un seasonable as that of the 27th that prompted the Muse of the bard of Avon -to exclaim, " The seasons change their manners, as if the year had found some months asleep, and leap'd them over." It is to be hoPed, that the unfolding vegetation of next month will not suffe: by an equally unseasonable reduction of terepe rature.—We cannot, however, but have our fears. G. W. JOHNSON.
