BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE FOR MAY, 1835. COY TEM PO R I? Y PRESS. "'There is not a single tory in office, and, by the blessing of God, there shall not be a single tory in place either." _ _ The above is an extract from Mr. O'Connell's last speech to his followers in Ireland—and we have to an nounce to the public to-day, that, in conformity with the mandate herein issued— • Ist. Lord Heytesbury's appointment to India is can celled. 2.11 y-. Sir Howard Douglas has been. recalled. 3dly. Lord Amherst's appointment is suspended, pre paratory, we believe, to its being finally cancelled, also. Now, we entreat our readers to compare these facts with the announcement made in Mr. O'Connell's speech, "that, by the blessing of God, there shall not be a single tory in place either ;" and we ask them, is it pos sible to believe that this man, however officially uncon nected with the government, is not in point of fact the dictator of its measures,—or whether Mr. O'Connell, however disowned as a coadjutor by Lnrd Melbourne, is not, to all intents and purposes, a member of his cabinet, and his colleague in the government W e entreat the people of England to compare this, the first :.ct of the new Premier, with the conduct pursued by Sir Robert Peel on similar occasions, on his accession to office, and to ask themselves the question, is any, the least, credit, to be attached to the declaration so often repeated by the organs of the administration, that " there is no understanding whatever between Mr. O'Connell and the King's government." We shall not now enter into a lengthened considera tion of the question of Lord Heytesbury's recal. We believe we may assert, without fear of contradiction, that there existed on all sides but one opinion as to that nobleman's fitness for the office to which he was nomi nated by Sir Robert Peel. The appointment was re ceived even by the whip themselves as one against which it was almost impossible to find a single objection ; and we know that it was viewed in this light by the Court of Directors, and for that reason was unanimously confirmed by them. Yet here is the appointment of Lord Heytesbury cancelled, on the eve of his departure for his government, and after he had received the usual allowance for his outfit from the East India Company, without the shadow of a complaint either as to his in capacity to discharge the duties confided to him, or the pretext of auy single act committed by him to disqualify him for the office for which he was selected by his Sove reign, and by the unanimous approbation of the East In dia direction. The same reasoning may be applied to the conduct of the government in their recall of Sir Howard Douglas, and in their suspension or Lord Amherst. We shall return to the consideration of these measures of the new ministry,—but at this moment we shall confine ourselves merely to the announcement of them, and leave the public to form, from what we have said, some idea of the liberal and enlightened policy they have to expect from Lord Melbourne and his colleagues. It will be ne cessary, however, we apprehend, that the sign manual should be obtained to the cancelling of Lord Hevteshury's commission, before it can be legally effected - ; and we have yet the hope left, that the eyes of the sovereign will be oponed to the policy of his new advisers by this act, and that his Majesty will not suffer the public service to be impeded, and the money of his East Indian subjects squandered, in providing another outfit, either for some shelved politician, who cannot obtain a seat in Parlia ment, or for some favoured nominee of Mr. O'Connell, whose continued support cannot otherwise be relied on.— Morning Post. It was confidently reported yesterday about town that Lord John Russell, convinced by the result of the first day's poll that he had no chance of success, had deter mined to resign. This statement, ascribing as it does to Loki John Russell a line of conduct which, in the cir cnmstances in which he is placed, would be creditable to him, is probably incorrect. The poll, we incline to think, will be kept open, hopeless as it is, to the last mo ment, and the victory of the conservative party become more decisive even than it is at present. Some of the voters of South Devon, who hesitated as to which of the two candidates was the more worthy of their support, addressed, as we understand, a letter to the Marquis of Londonderry, inquiring of his lordship whether there were any or what deee of truth in a statement which had appeared in the London journals, to the effect that, upon the subject of the , Russian embassy, Lord John Russell had said one thing to the noble mar quis in private, and another entirely diffetent thing in the House of Commons. The neutral electors were na turally anxious to be satisfied upon a point, involving, as it appeared to them, the personal character and honour of one of the candidates fur their suffrages. We are not enabled to state precisely the language of the reply sent by the noble marquis to the above inquiry. But it may very safely he inferred from the effect it seems to have produced. The answer of the noble marquis (as we are informed) reached Exeter on Monday, and the inquirers, neutral up to that time, were neutral no longer. Their votes and interest were given without further hesitation to Mr. Parker. What will now become of Lord John Russell ? Will he also be made a peer? Shall we have it distinctly con fessed that, fur the first time in the modern history of England, not one of his Majesty's three principal Secre taries of State can procure a seat in the HOuse of Com mons ? The foreign secretary has no seat in parliament. The colonial secretary was last night gazetted as a peer of the realm, his single claim to that honour being that no constituency in Great Britain or Ireland were likely to elect him for their representative. And now the Se cretary for the Home Department is rejected by the county which he has misrepresented for several years. What, we again ask, is to become of Lord John Russell ? His lordship might, perhaps, be returned for one of the pocket boroughs which his own bill of pure and honest reform left in the oisposal of his father. But, unfor fortunately, his lordship has repeatedly declared, in pri vate and in public, that he will never sit for a borough, and is determined to be a member of the House of Com mons, if at al:, as the representative of a large constitu ency. This pledge is remembered, and from this a report has sprung up that the noble lord will start for the county of Middlesex, Mr. Byng having previously b e en with drawn from the lower house by the gift of a peerage. This tampering with the peerage, discreditable in any circumstances, would in the present be nugatory. It is ail but certain that the next election for the county of Middlesex, occur when it may, will be decidedly in favour of Mr. Wood, Lord John seems, therefore, to have no choice beyond Tavistock and the House of Lords. Which of the two - he will adopt is yet undecided. But, what ever may be the determination of the noble lord, it is gratifying to expect that he will now become a less loqua cious, troublesome, and mischievous; member of the legis lature, whether he elect to sit as a peer of the realm or as the member fur independent Tavistock.—Morning Post, Wednesday. IRISH HOSTILITY TO ENGLlSHMEN.—Enmity—deadly enmity—to the British power and English name, is un questionably the rul!ng passion of our Irish agitators and malcontents. They abhor the very name of Eng land ; they hold the persons of 'Englishmen in as much detestation as those serpents and adders which St. Patrick is said to have exterminated from their country ; _ and would hail with rapture the moment when "a Daniel come to judgment" would execute a similar decree on the human reptiles cf the sessenali breed. This s pi r it i s f or ever bursting forth both in t ie fiery harangues of our demagogues and the cooler effusions of our radical press. In the authors it seems to be an irresistible feeling that must have vent; to the auditors and readers an expres sion of passion which solaces their stifled revenge. The idea that an Englishman should share in the enjoyments or privileges belonging to a true Milesian, embitters the potion of happiness that he quaffs, and mars all the plea sure of possession. " The only thing connected with the catholic relief bill," saith a radical contemporary of this morning, " which ever caused us a moment's regret, was the necessity of fully enfranchising those contemp tible English catholics—especially that wretched Duke of Norfolk, who yearned for seats in parliament, and were not only prepared, but actually anxious to creep into the legislature under the most galling and offensive restrictions." Of the illustrious Roman catholic noble man, whose name occurs in the foregoing extract, it is said that little surprise can he felt at " the dirty and foolish part" he has taken respecting Mr. O'Connell's expulsion from Brookes's, inasmuch as " he is an English catholic and an aristocrat;" whilst that noble, generous, and high-minded patriot, the Earl of Shrewsbury, is worthy of toleration—is fitted at least to live for a season —because, forsooth, he is " half an Irishman by connec tion, and wholly Irish in feeling." Such are the genu i ne—the irrepressible sentiments which are entertained by that class in Ireland to which our cotemporary, the Freeman, addresses himself, to wards England and Englishmen; and yet, by the effect of the Roman catholic relief bill, the interests and desti nies of England are at the actual disposal and tender mercy of the Irish popish representation Will English men endure this? Is it a safe position for themselves and their country ? Will they submit to be governed in their own house by their bitterest and most inveterate enemies ? We trove not. The means of redress are in their own hands. What an act of parliament has done an act of parliament may undo; and as the relief bill was passed against the wW of the English people, it may and must be repealed in obedience to their resolute demand.— Dublin Evening Mail.

The admirers of republican in stitutions, more pr.rticularly American, will find their character and tendency ably discussed in a commentary on " Democracy in America," a work recently published by Mons. de Jocqueville. We pass over " Wordsworth's new volume ;" "Michael Lynx, the man who knew him self;" and the continuations of " Nights at Mess;" " Shakespeare in Germany ;" and " The Cruise of the Midge," to give an extract from the all absorbing sub- Pet, the late " Change of Ministry" : • "What we long ago prophesied has come to pass. The re form bill has utterly and for ever extinguished the whigs. Before it accomplished one of the objects fur which it was in tended—before it had exterminated the principles, or ruined the disciples of Pitt—before it has blasted one principle of con servatism, or choked up ono fountain of loyalty, it has utterly annihilated the weak, ambitious, and reckless party . which, for selfish and ambitious ends, forced on that perilous innovation. The bill was to have given the whigs a long lease of power: extinguished alike the obdurate tories and unprincipled revo lutionists; saved us equally from anarchy and despotism; and established on the basis of united property, intelligence, and virtue, a permanent government, suited to the wants, and in unison with the Itches of the immense majority of the nation. What has it done? Has it secured property, satisfied educa tion, brought the legislature into harmony with the public voice, banished faction, sopited discord, benefited or blessed the people? Has it elevated the whigs, rendered the great families of that party the real depositaries of power, and re duced O'Connell, with his united band of papists, dissenters, infidels, and ievolutionists, the despicable and powerless body that was anticipated? All this was promised, not once, but a thousand times; and all this, not thousands, but millions, were simple or deluded enough to believe. Where are these pro mises and anticipations Now? What steadiness and perma nence of government has resulted to the authors of the mea sure from the change ? Before it had been three years in ope ration, it had driven Lord Grey from office; separated the high-minded whigs, with Stanley and Graham, from their more obsequious colleagues; overturned the Melbourne administra tion, and now, as the last step in the chain of degradation, re duced the haughty houses of Cavendish and Russell into the humble fcillowers of an Irish demagogue, and compelled the descendants of Howard and Sidney to range themselves in meek obedience at the beck of a paid agitator, whom they themselves denounced, in the speech from the throne, two years ago, as a public enemy ! "The House of Commons is now divided into three parties, of whom the whigs are the weakest, both in point of numbers and respectability. There are 300 united conservatives under the banners of Sir Robert Peel, 200 radicals, papists, and revo lutionists following the footsteps of O'Connell, and 150 whigs in the guidance of Lord John Russell. Incessantly haunted by the passion for power, and chagrined at the total failure of all the splendid expectations which they had formed from the great healing measure, they have now submitted to the humi liating necessity to which they have by their own acts reduced themselves; and, abandoning all their orinciples, have con sented to range themselves as auxiliaries under the great revo lutionary leader. What were the original principles of the whigs, under Somers, Algernon Sidney, and Russell? Fierce and inveterate hostility to the papists, and the Irish agitators; firm and unbending support of the protestant constitution in church and state; a religious adherence to the ancient institu tions and liberties of the empire; and a cordial union with Hol land, and all the protestant party in Europe, against the ambi tion of the papal powers and the military force of France. What are the principles of their mongrel and degenerate de scendants in our days? Tame submission, abject flattery, crouching servility to the Irish agitator; a cordial union with Romanists and infidels; a marked disregard of every religious observance ; an anxious desire to re-establish popery—the grave, in every age, of free institutions; an inveterate hostility to the protestant provinces of Holland, and intimate alliance with the despotic throne of catholic and infidel France. These are the principles in which the whigs have terminated; this the ' Serbinian bog which has swallowed up the cause for which Hambdeu bled in the field and Sidney on the scaffold. What has occasioned this hideous, this monstrous tergiversation ? Their reckless, ignorant, and insatiable impatience for power, which, regardless of consequences, led them to force through, and impose upon the country, in the moment of madness, a vast organic change, which, after annihilating their own power, has left them no place in the arena of politics but to range them selves under an avowed revolutionary leader, and make up for the secession of all the eminent and noble members of their party, by a close alliance with infidels, bankrupts, and prodi gals; a total abandonment of all their former principles; and a frantic, insane attempt to re-establish the very faith which their ancestors on the scaffold resisted, and overturn the very religion which they would have perished rather than abandon ! "O'Connell and the radicals are now, if not formally invested with power, really the directors of government. They possess two hundred votes in the House of Commons; and without their aid ministers would in a week be left in a fearful minority. Whether in or out of office, therefore, they must be the real rulers of government. Thus, their authority is only to be the more dreaded if they are placed behind the scenes, and intrusted with the wires which are to move the puppets whom they place upon the stage. Now, what are the principles and intentions of O'Connell and the radicals—the real rulers of the state ? They have told us a thousand times what they are. They are resolved to separate Ireland from the English union; in other words, to establish an Hibernian republic in close alliance with France, after that proposed by Wolfe Tone and Lord Edward Fitzgerald to the French Directory, in 1797. The are deter mined to agitate till they have utterly destroyed the established church. " Its fault, in their own words, is, that it exists." They will re-establish popery in all its plenitude in the sister isle, out as in other papal states, in honour supported by property of it 4 own, but servilely dependent on the contributions of the poor; that is to say, a mere engine in the hands of the demagogues. They are determined, in O'Connell's words, to put an end to the "cant of national faith," by confiscating the whole public funds; in other words, extinguishing the peat saving-bank of the poor; and thereby, in consequence, occasioning the immediate stoppage of every bank in the kingdom, and inducing a general bankruptcy of every person engaged in trade or manufactures. They are resolved to reduce our naval and military establish ment at least to the diminutive standard of 1792—a scale which is totally inadequate to the necessities and security of the em pire as it at present stands, and will expose us, on occasion of the next breaking out of hostilities, to imminent danger from foreign subjugation. They are determined to reduce still lower the elective franchise, especially in Ireland, where, expe perience has proved, it is already too low for the return of a ra tional body of representatives, and by the introduction of the ballot, and annual or triennial parliaments, complete the de pendence of government in all its branches on the popular voice; while, by forcing on the crown the creation of a vast body of peers, wholly subservient to what is called the popular cause, they will render impossible any resistance by the barons of England to these encroachments, and, if necessary, secure the means of their total abolition. These are the designs openly avowed by the radicals and revolutionists; and it is the party which is now, whatever leaders may be nominally placed at the head of affairs, really coming into power. It is in vain, there fore, to say that the dangers, so long foretold by the conserva tives, are remote and chimerical, the result of disappointed hopes and crazed imaginations. They are instant and imminent; the party professing them will speedily be in power, and before twelve months are over, they will be embodied in bills which are supported by the whole influence of government,-and all the weight of the united papists, infidels, radicals, and revolutionists, whose alliance has driven Sir Robert Peel from power." "The first of these is by . the influence of the press, and the incessant efforts of genius and talent of the highest order to support the conservative cause. This has already taken place to a very great extent already over the whole country; and richly were the authors of the change rewarded in beholding the extraordinary reaction in favour of the constitution which the last election exhibited. It is by a steady anil undismayed prosecution of the same course that the country is to be saved. Another such change and the cause of revolution isoverthrown. There is a natural inclination of talent of the highest class to resist the control of authority; and never does the under-cur rent flow so strongly as when that authority is directed by the violence, or calculated to gratify the cupidity, of the Mob. ' The superiority of the literary, political, and historical works recently published on the side of order, to those of revolution, is most conspicuous; in periodical literature, the sam e glorious distinction is, if possible, still more manifest; while, even in the daily press, the extent of the revolution in favour of con servative principles is in the highest degree satisfactory. It is by the united influence of talent, thus directed, that the forces of anarchy can alone be successfully combated; and the vast change of opinion they have already effected in' the better and educated classes in every part of the empire, affords the fairest grounds for hope in the "niajultistsiou‘evoyfetshteedcosnotleesly either in pro t. "But political power is fi pelts' or intelligence: the reform bill has enfranchised an active, restless, and numerous class, destitute alike o f th e one an d t h e other. 'Under the present system, and with the addition of Scotland and Ireland to the constituency, it is quite possible that the whole men of educatiOn or property in the kingdom might be on one side, while democracy, delusion, and igno rance were on- the other, and the former might be in a decided minority in the House of Commons. A considerable propor tion of 'the present voters are utterly inaccessible to reason or argument, totally incapable of forming a rational opinion on any political subject, and therefore the ready and certain pay of the'dembagrrgues; whom such a state of things necessarily and continually keeps in activity. These men can never lie con vinced; from their occupation and habits they are necessarily democratical, and will ever continue so. They must be out voted or the constitution is lost. "The mode in which this is to be done is obvious; and it is here that the persevering efforts of property can best overcome the prodigious ascendancy which the reform bill in the outset gave to the reckless and destitute classes of the community. lx IS IN TilE REGISTRATION COURTS THAT THE BATTLE OF THE CONSTITUTION IS TO BE FOUGHT AND WON. It is by a continued, persevering, and skilful exertion there, that edu cation, worth, and property, are to regain their ascendan s cy over anarchy, vice, and democracy. The many victories gained by the conservatives during the last contest were chiefly owing to the efforts that had previously been made in this department. The forces of anarchy, strong and often irre sistible in a moment of g eneral excitement, or on the eve of an election, are unequal in general to a steady persevering effort for a course of years, in keeping up a majority on the toll. It is there that property and information can most easily regain its just and necessary ascendant over mere numbers. Let therefore the conservatives unite in associations in every city, borough, and county in the kingdom, to subscribe for the purpose of purging the election rolls of the multitudes of dis qualified radicals who are now there, and placing on it persons of property and education, on whose principles they can rely. By a proper organization in this way, it is astonishing what may be done; in most places, excepting the great cities, which may be set aside as in general irreclaimable, one member at least of sound principles might be secured. It is thus, and thus only, that the balance of society can be restored in these islands. Let no one grudge trouble or expense in such an attempt: it is the battle of property which is there to be fought; it is the cause of religion, truth and freedom which is there to be won. "To the parliamentary leaders of the conservatives we need hardly offer one piece of advice, for there can be no doubt that their own principles will lead them to adopt it. Let them imi tate their opponents in one particular, and in one only; let them consider the conduct of the present ministers when in opposition, as a beacon to be avoided—not an example to be followed. They have been driven from the helm by the most factious and unprincipled opposition recorded m English his tory, and by an alliance of the most profligate and unprece dented character—let them, in return, support the government in all measures which appear really beneficial, and reserve their hostility only for those cases (and it is to be feared they will he ton many) in which changes of a perilous and revolu tionary character are brought forward. To their opponents, the whigs, they owe nothing; to the cause which they serve, and the country which they love, they owe every thing. It was thus that the Duke of York, in 1793, answered the savage decree of the French convention to give no quarter; he meet by a proclamation calling on his troops to deviate in no respect from the usages of civilized war. After many years of disaster, the cause which took this noble revenge finally triumphed. A similar,•and not less glorious result. await; those who nieet the coalition of faction, and the hostility of selfishhess, by a stea dier adherence to the principles of patriotisM and virtue." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LORD ALVANLEY AND O'CONNELL. (FroM the Times ) The subjoined papers have been sent to us, and will attract the curiosity of our readers. The outrage offered by Mr. O'Con nell to Lord Alvanley was quite sufficient, as all must allow, to justify the measure which his lordship had recourse to, in de mand►ng an ample apology : as for that satisfaction which con stitutes the alternative proposed by the noble lord, no man who was governed by the feelings, or conscious responsibility, of a gentleman would have offered such an offence. Mr. O'Con nell's reply to that portion of the message from Lord Alvauley it is therefore easy to anticipate. TO THE MEMBERS OF BROOKES'S. " London, May 2. " Gentlemen,—ln the House of Commons, on the 20th of last month, Mr. O'Connell made use of expressions of,a coarse and insulting nature with regard to me. I received The account of his having done so in the country on the 21st, and immediately enclosed the following letter for him to Colonel Darner, who finding that he had left town, forwarded it to Dublin by the post of the 22d : Sir,—ln the remarks you made :on Monday last, on a question which I had put on the pr6vious Saturday to Lord Melbourne, a question of purely a political nature, you used language which I cannot allow to pass unnoticed. lam aware that you assume a right of insulting with impunity, and I can hardly hope that you will make an exception in my favour by doing that which every other gentleman would do, and giving satisfaction where poi have offered insult; I however give you the option of doing so, and my friend Colonel Darner will make the necessary arrangements, should you be inclined to avail yourself of my proposal. "' I am your obedient servant, " Chefdon, Tuesday. " ALVANLEY.' " Having ascertained his arrival in Duhlin on the 26th, and received no answer on the 28th, Colonel Datnet wrote to him again on that day : " Sir,—l was in hopes to have heard from you by this time, and must request that you will return me an immediate answer to Lord Alvanlev's letter of the 22d, as he is impatient at la bouring under the stigma of your gratuitous insult to him on the 20th. " lam your obedient servant, " GEORGE DAMER. "'4O, Grosvenor-street, April 28.' "To this second letter he has returned no answer. Having, therefore, tried those means to obtain redress which are cus tomary amongst gentlemen, I now appeal to the only tribunal of men of honour, to which we are both amenable; and have, therefore sent a requisition, already signed by several members of the club, requesting the managers to call a general meeting, to take the case into consideration. . _ " It has been objected to use that this is a question of a pri vate nature, and that the club is not called upon to interfere. I acknowledge that it is af a private and personal nature; but I think that, as the honour of two of its members is deeply im plicated, the club has a right to do so, should it think fit. The one has received a gratuitous insult, for which the other refuses in any way to atone, thereby claiming for himself an exemption from those laws by which the society of gentlNnen is regulated; and without which the honour and feelings of every man would be at the mercy of those who might choose to cover themselves with the shield of irresponsibility. Having that right, I think it will be but justice in this instance to exercise it, and to give to the one an opportunity of stating why he, a member of the club, has remained under the stigma of an affront for which he has received neither satisfaction nor apology; and to impress upon the other that it utterly repudiates his assumption of being out of the pale of those laws of honour by which gentlemen are governed. " I have the honour to be your most obedient servant, " ALVANLEY." THE REQUISITION. " London, May 2. , . `'We, the undersigned members of Brookes's Club, request the managers to call a general meeting as soon as possible to consider a statement that will be made to it of Mr. O'Connell's conduct to Lord Alvanlev, both being members of the club.

" The managers of Brookes's Club having had under their consideration a requisition signed by several members, request ing them to call a general meeting 'to consider a statement that will be made to it of Mr. O'Connell's conduct to Lord Alvan ley, both being members of the club,' ate of opinion that it would be inconsistent with the practice and contrary to the established rules to take cognizance of differences of a private nature between members of the club, and, therefore, decline to call a general meeting in compliance with the above requisition. DUNCANNON. ALBEMARLE. JOHN BYNG. EDWARD BLOUNT. EDWARD ELLICE. RONALD C. FERGUSON. " Brookes's, May 3, 1835." The Times, of Tuesday, with reference to O'Connell says "There is hardly a week of Mr. O'Connell's existence, ever since his " vow in Heaven" was promulgated, which has not exposed him to a most just and righteous visitation of resent ment from one or more individuals whom he has savagely in sulted. His vow in heaven he has bad all the cunning to ex hibit ab a grand effort of forbearance towards others; whereas the whole course of his demeanour proves it to have been no better than an ignominious artifice for his own protection. " will make my vow," says the arch impostor, "an instrument for tormenting others, and for saving my self from retribution." Let us ask any brave man, therefore, is that a fraud which ought to be countenanced or permitted ? Is such a man, like the snake of India, to be held sacred by the superstitious mul titude, because of the deadliness of its bite? Is malice to be ex empt from all the pains of crime, because it throws over pusil lanimity the mask of conscience and religion ? If we go to the origin of this complaint brought forward by Lord Alvanley, we shall find that his lordship has been grossly wronged by Mr. O'Connell. The allusion which the noble lord made to that person had nothing offensive in it—literally nothing. He merely asked whether any man could believe that Mr.-O'Con nell would lend his support to the administration without a cer tain equivalent? Why, the equivalent referred to might have been, and we are firmly persuaded that Lord Alvanly meant nothing worse, some measures with regard to Ireland which might have served the political purposes of the agitator. The whole context of Lord Alvanley's interrogatories bears us out in the construction of his Lordship's words. Is he, then, to be called a bloated buffoon and a venal being, but not worth pur chasing, for demanding from the King's minister an avowal whether he did or dio not concur in political sentiment, or pro ceed upon a common understanding, with 0110 who entertained projects which Lord Alvanley thought ruinous to the constitu tion ?" The meeting between Lord Alvanley and Mr. Morgan O'Con nell, and its result, will be found in the following letter from Colonel Darner. " 40, Upper Grosvenor-Street, Monday evening, May 4. " On my arrival in London this evening at half-past 5, from a review at Woolwich, Lord Alvanley put into my hands the following letter, which had been delivered to him by Colonel Hodges on the part of Mr. Morgan O'Connell : " ' 9, Clarges-street, Monday 4. ‘• My Lord,—Your Lordship thought proper to thrive out grossly offensive expressions in the House of Lords, on the 18th of last month, against my father, and indeed against the Irish members generally in the reform interest. My father on the 20th retorted in the house of Com mons, and in doing so is supposed to have designated you as a bloated buffoon. " My father remained two days in London without hearing anything troin you on the subject against which he retorted. After his departure for Ireland, you seem to have made up your mind to send him a species of hostile communication. You now state that this interval was occasioned by your having been in the country, but this matters not; I have this day seen your letter, which it appears you have sent to the newspapers. " All the world knows that my father has been engaged in an unfortunate personal transaction, that he has publicly declared his determination never again to be similarly engaged, and therefore that any man may so address him with safe,ty.and impunity'. " Although you were decidedly the aggressor,—although you attributed unworthy and interested motives to him,—al though in your challenge, if it is to be so considered, you do not attempt to explain away the disrespectful expressions you had in the first instance used towards him,—although my father's return to London would necessarily be in a few days,— although but a few days elapsed after your sending this com munication to Ireland, so few indeed as scarcely to admit of the possibility of an answer, you or your friends nevertheless hastened to give publicity to die circumstance, and follow it up by canvassing for a requisition to Brookes's (and at the head of which your own name, an interested prrty, is unbecomingly placed), having for its.object my father's expulsion from that club: various insulting statements, also grounded on the same circumstances, and obviously also emanating from the same source, went the rounds of the public papers devoted to your party : it was also. confidently announced by your partisans that you intended to assault. my father if he refused you satis faction. " 'Whether Mr.. O'Connell will take any notice of your epistle, or will treat it with the contempt it merits at his hands, is immateriaL He is ignorant of the miserable and paltry machinations going on in the clubs of St. James's-street. It is also immaterial whether the rumours and statements in the public prints were or were not unfounded, because you iden tified yourself with them by permitting them repeatedly to ap pear without your denial. " But all doubt on this point is at an end; your letter has this day appeared in the newspapers, and your views are deve loped. It is now quite evident that your object, and. that of those with whom you act, was by. no means that of obtaining the satisfaction which one gentleman may have a right to de mand from another. Your object, in fact, in thus publicly parading your willingness to fight, was quite clearly neither more nor less than that of casting a stigma on my father, on the party of which I am one, and so, through us, to cast discredit on the measures we advocate, and on the government of whom we are the supporters. "'Thinking it right that the public should know the real character of this wretched manoeuvre, and pitying or contemn ing some of those who, without being ostensibly of your faction, have weakly or basely lent themselves to it as your coadjutors, I have thought proper thus to explain briefly the case, together with its apparent and undoubted object, in order to prevent fur ther mystification. " And I have considered you the most fitting medium through whom to convey this succinct narrative to the public; but not, I confess, in the vain hope of inducing a man whom I sincerely believe to have been appropriately designated by my father, and who, moreover, has been deliberately guilty, as I must con ceive you to be, of this utterly ungentlemanlike and braggadocio mode of carrying on party warfare; not, I repeat, in the vain hope of its inducing you to give me satisfaction, or to call upon me for a meeting. "' But still. lest 1 should wrong you in this surmise, not imi tating your example in giving this communication immediate publicity, I will leave you intermediately a reasonable time during which I have the honour to acquaint you that I am at sour lordship's service, and to "facilitate any such possibility, I have requested a friend to convey this to you. " I have the honour to be, &c. "` MORGA.N O'CONNELL. "` To the Lord Alvanley, &c." \-"'Shoitiv after I had communicated with Lord Alvanley, I waited on Colonel Hodges at the Junior United Service Club. Having obtained an interview with him, I formally protested against the course Mr. Morgan O'Connell had thought it [wiper to pursue, but at the same time informed Colonel Hodges that Lord Alvanley was ready to meet Mr. Morgan O'Connel' immediately. " Colonel Hodges asked whether it should be this evening or to-morrow. I replied this evening. Colonel Hodges then acceded to my proposal, and added that as it was but half-past six o'clock there would be still plenty of light. "We then separated, and returning to our respectiv eprin cipals, accornpauied them a short distance out of town. "As we were proceeding from our carriages to the ground, Colonel Hodges took me aside and expressed his desire that the affair should be amicably settled. Il e observed—' We are come here to receive an apology from Lord Alvanley : he has caused a requisition to be presented to the managers of Brookes's, urg ing them to turn Mr. Daniel O'Connell out of that club.' l replied, that he could not have read the requisition, for that it only required the managers to call a general meeting of the club. I then recalled to the recollection of Colonel Hodges the protest I had verbally made when I had previously seen him, and I presented him with a written statement to the same effect. this Colonel Hodges refused to accept; and he said that Mr. Morgan O'Connell came there to demand satisfaction for the insult offered to his father by the requisition made to Brookes's. I then declared that Lord Alvanley's quarrel was with Mr. Daniel O'Connell, and not with his son; but that as Mr. Mor gan O'Connell had thought proper to write to him to intimate his conviction that Lord Alvanley would be afraid to meet him, I had brought Lord Alcanley to the ground to prove the con trary; I again tendered my protest. " I'he ground having been measured, and the parties placed at a distance of twelve paces from one another, Mr. O'Connell's pistols were placed in their hands. " Colonel Hodges and myself agreed that I should give the signal to fi r e, an d that it should be—' Make ready ! Fire!' 1 was proceeding to instruct the gentlemen concerned as to the signals that were to be their guide, and had said, Geotlernen, I shall use the following word—' Make ready! Fire!' when Mr. O'Connell, thinking that I had given the signal, through mis take discharged his pistol. I had then a short discussion with Colonel Hodges as to the light in which that shot was to be con sidered, when Lord Alvanley desired me to wave the right, I conceived he had to return the fire. " We proceeded to load again, and shots were exchanged without effect. I then asked Colonel Hodges whether he and his principal were satisfied ? The colonel replied that they were not. That they still demanded an apology for the letter to Brookes's. Here I felt a deep responsibility, and that my situation was one of great embarrassment my first impression was, that I was bound not to allow Lord Alvanley to be made answerable to one man for a quarrel with another, and that his having proved to Mr. Morgan O'Connell, by having received two shots from him, how unfounded was his assertion that Lord Alvanley was unwilling to meet him, I was then called upon to put a stop to the proceeding by taking him off the ground. But on second thoughts I judged it more desirable to alloU , the affair to go on one step further, to pt event the possibility of any mis representation. of the subject. .‘ After another exchange of shots without effect, I withdrew Lord Alvanley from the field without his having made any apology to Mr. Morgan O'Connell, or any withdrawal of what he said respecting Mr. Daniel O'Connell. " As we were leaving the ground, Mr. O'Connell said to me, ' Colonel Darner. I give you my honour that I fired that shot by mistake, on which Lord Alvanley approached and said he was satisfied Mr. O'Connell hail done so. " GEORGE DAWSON DAMER." MR. D'ISRAELI AND MR. O'CONNELL. (No. I.) 31 A, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, Tuesday, May 5. Sir,—As you have established yourself as the champion of your father, I have the honour to request your notice to a very scurrilous attack which your father has made upon my conduct and character. Had Mr. O'Connell, according to the practice observed among gentlemen, appealed to me respecting the accuracy of the re ported express►ons before he indulged in offensive comments upon them, he would, if he can be influenced by a sense of justice, have felt that such comments were unnecessary. He has not thought fit to do so, and he leaves me no alternative but to request that you, his son, will resume your vicarious duty of y►elding satisfaction for (he insults which your father has too long lavished with impunity upon his political oppo nents.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obed►ent servant, Morgan O'Connell, Esq., M.P. B. D'ISRAELI. (No. 2.) 9, Clarges-street, Tuesday, May 5. Sir,—l have this day received a letter from you, stating that a scurrilous attack had been made on you by my father, without giving me any information as to the expressions complained of, or when or where they were used, and which I now hear of for the first time. I deny your right to call upon me in the present instance, and lam not answerabre for what my father may say. I called on Lord Alvanley for satisfaction because I conceived he had pur posely insulted my father, by calling a meeting at Brookes's, for the purpose of expelling him the club, he being at the time ab sent in Ireland. When I deny your right to call on me in the present instance, I also beg leave most unequivocally to deny your right to ad dress an insulting letter to me, who am almost personally un known to you, and unconscious of having ever g►ven you the slightest offence. I must therefore request that you will with draw the letter, as, without that, it will be impossible for me to enter into an explanation.—l have the honour, &c., B. D'lsraeli, Esq. M. O'CONNELL. This letter will be delivered to you by my friend, Mr. French. (No. 3.) 31 A, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, Tuesday, May 5. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, delivered to me by Mr. - Filzstephen French, by which I learn that you do not consider yourself " answerable for what your father may say." With regard to your request that I should withdraw my letter, because its character is insulting to yourself, I have to observe that it is not in my power to withdraw the letter, which states the reason of my application ; but I have no hesitation in assur ing you, that I did not intend that it should convey to you any personal insult.—l have the honour, &c., B. D'ISRAELI. I feel it my duty to publish this correspondence. (No. 4.) TO MR. DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P. FOR DUBLIN. London, May 5. Mr. O'Connell,—Although you have long placed yourself out of the pale of civilization, still 1 am one who will not be insulted, even by a yahoo, without chastising it. When I read this morning in the same journals your virulent attack upon myself, and that your son was at the same moment paying the penalty of similar virulence to another individual on whom you had dropped your filth, I thought that the conscious ness that your opponents had at length discovered a source of satisfaction m►ght have animated your insolence to unwonted energy, and I called upon your son to re-assume his vicarious office of yielding satisfaction for his shrinking sire. • But it seems that gentleman declines the further exercise of the pleas ing duty of enduring the consequences of your libertine harangues. I have no other means, therefore, of noticing your effusion but this public mode. Listen, then, to me. If it had been possible fur you to act like a gentleman, you would have hesitated before you made your foul and insolent comments upon a hasty and garbled report of a speech which scarcely contains a sentence or an expression as they emanated from my mouth; but the truth is, you were glad to seize the first opportunity of pouring forth your venom against a man whom it serves the interest of your party to represent as a poli tical apostate. In 1831, when Mr. O'Connell expressed to the electors of Wycombe his anxiety to assist rue iu my election, I came for ward as the opponent of the party in power, and which I de scribed in my address as " a rapacious, tyrannical, and inca pable faction"—the English whigs, who 'in the ensuing year denounced you as a traitor from the throne, and every one of whom, only a few months back, you have anathematized with all the peculiar graces of a tongue practised in scurrility. You are the patron of these men now, Mr. O'Connell: you, forsooth, are " devoted" to them. lam still their uncompromising oppo nent. Which of us is the most consistent? _ _ You say that I was once a radical, and now that I am a tory. My conscience acquits me of ever having deserted a political frieud, or ever having changed a political opinion. 1 worked for a great and avowed end in 1831, and that was the restore lion of the balance. of parties in the stirte, a result which I be lieved to be necessary to the honour of the realm and the happi ness of the people. I never advocated a measure which I did not believe tended to this result, and if there be any -- measures which I then urged, and now am not disposed to press, it is be cause that great result is obtained. In 1131 I should have been very happy to have laboured for this object with Mr. O'Connell, with whom I had no per sonal acquaintance, but who was a member of the legislature, remarkable fur his political influence, his versatile talents, and his intense hatred and undisguised contempt of the Whigs. Since 1831 we have met only once; but I have a lively re collection of my interview with so distinguished a personage. Our conversation was of great length; I had a very ample op portunity of studying your character. I thought you a very amusing, a very interesting, but a somewhat overrated man. I am sure on that occasion I did not disguise from you my political views : I spoke with a frankness which I believe is characteristic of my disposition. I told you I was not a sen timental, but a practical politician ; that what I chiefly desired to see was the formation of a strung, but constitutional govern ment, that would maintain the empire, and that I thought if the whigs remained in office they would shipwreck the state. I ob served then, as was my habit, that the whigs must be got rid of at any price. It seemed to me that you were much of the same opinion as myself; butour conversation was very general. We formed no political alliance, and for a simple rea s on—l con cealed neither from yourself, nor from your fi lends ' the repeal of the union was an impassable gulf between us, and that I could not comprehend, after the announcement of such an intention how any English party could co-operate with you. Probably you then thought that the English movement might confederate with you on a system of mutual assistance, and that you might ex change and circulate your accommodation measures of destruc tion ; but even Mr. O'Connell, with his lively faith in Whig feebleness and whig dishonesty, could scarcely have imagined that in the course of 12 months his fellow-conspirators were to be my Lord Melbourne and the Marquis of Lansdowne. admire year scurrilous allusions to my origin. It is quite clear that the "hereditary bondsman" has already forgotten the clank of his fetter. 1 know the tactics of your church; it clamours for toleration, and it labours for supremacy. I see that you are quite prepared to persecute. With regard to your taunts as to my want of success in my election contests, permit me to remind you that I had nothing to appeal to but the good sense of the people. No threatening skeletons canvassed for me; a death's-head and cross-bones not were blazoned on my banners. My pecuniary resources, too, wets limited; I am not one of those public beggars that we see swarming with their obtrusive boxes in the chapels of your creed; nor am 1 in possession of a princely revenue wrung from a starving race of fanatical slaves. Nevertheless, I have a deep conviction that the hour is at hand when I shall be more suc cessful, and take my place in that proud assembly of which Mr. O'Connell avows his wish no longer to be a member. I expect to be a representative of the people before the repeal of the union. We shall meet at Philippi; and rest assured that, con fident in a good cause, and in some energies which have been not altogether unproved, I will seize the first opportunity of inflicting upon you ,a castigation which will snake you at the same time remember and repent the insults that you have lavished upon BENJAMIN DISRAELI.
