REPEAL OF THE UNION.
Sir G. GREY having moved that the house at its rising do
adjourn to Monday, the Ist of May,
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL rove to make some observations
on what had been laid by the noble lord the first minister
of the crown on th day of the last meeting of the house.re
- observationse were calculated to create great misapp-
on in Ireland. Ireland had, no doubt, been made the
itebank of political ponies in this country, and as long
• contined to e the case they could not be sue-
t the tad
ntenDt that prevailed there. The noble
been represented to say that he would repel by
attempts that were made to repeal the union.
M. J. O'Connell) aid not so understand the noble
understood him to my that attempts to repeal the
r force would be met by measures of a similar cha-
. He then proceeded to express hie regret that the
government had not gone further in carrying out remedial
measures for Ireland. They promised much when out of
office, but performed very little when is it. The bon.
gentleman then referred to various measures having gefer-
sure to Ireland, and was proceeding, when
',Le A. CLIFFORD, the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Appeared in the house, and, advancing to the table,
tinhe par of a commission, the attendance of the
the t Howe of Peers, to hear her Majesty's assent
i to several bills.
A members return,
.he SP PAKER announced that certain bills (for which
Lords' report) had received the royal assent.
--. M. J. O'CONNELL then re tamed his observations.
G. GREY said his noble friend hod been misrepre•
. if any such statement had been made of his speech ea
*vaunted by the hon. gentleman. What his noble friend
said had been perectly constitutional. With regard to
•her observationsf he declined on that occasion to dia-
.

in th• municipal halls and other places where the
royal bust was usually seen.
In the third number of the Revue Retrospec
sons
tive,
which has just appeared, amongst the list of per
to whom payments were made trom the secret service
mosey, is the name of Slind worth down for 6,950 f.
A note, referring to the grant to this gentleman, says :
" The following letter will show in what way this per-
son was employed," and then the subjoioed document
is given, dated ha. 21, 1848 :
Monsieur le President du Conseil—My father desires me
to trsnamit to your excellency the following information :
A person, who has lived for a great number of years en in.
Ornate terms with M.Thiers, had the other dly • converss.
Lion with that gentleman, of which the following ar
is e the
principal pain's:—M. Thies said,
" The country ad-
vancing with giant strides to a catastrophe, which will burst
forth, either before the King's death, if that prince lives to a
great age, or some time after the King's death. There will
be a civil war, a revision of the charter. and perhape even a
change of persons ea& high position. The country will not
support a regency, unless something greed be effected to
raise the character of the nation. King Louis Philippe has
nothing founded; be leaves to his family the most arduous
task to maintain itself. If Napoleon 11. was still olive, he
would replace themesnt King on the throne. For my part,
I am quite disguswith every thing, tone F not have
anything : Europe will again find this nation in its way.
Until the King's death there is nothing tO be done. Guizot
must remain, but he must be prevented from following up
his plan to draw closer to the continertal powers. We must
impose on him the policy which he ought to follow with
foreign powers—must alarm him with the chamber and the
country. It is for that that 1 will ascend the tribune, and
oppose him to the utmost possible extent, both on the
Italian and Swiss question." My father guarantees to your
excellency the exactitude of the preceding information, and
requests you to have the kindness to keep the matter secret.
Deign to receive, Monsieur le President du Conieil, a re-
, of my entire devotedness.

hour given them by the troops to capitulate. The
civic guard were disarmed. The Duke of Oldenburg
is anonsly ill. Until his recovery he has given ep
the reins of government to his son.
AUSTRIA..—We have dates to the 18th from
Vienna. The Wiener Zeitistag of that day contaias
the official declaration of the Emperor, stating that an
the petition of his faithful states and of the duchy
of Styria, and after hearing the council of ministers.
his Majesty is resolved to grant his faithful sableete
of Styria a participation of the protections of their
property, combined with the removal of certain
posts, which are considered especially oppressive.
The monster meeting which was got up by a party
of demagogues, who incited the working classes to
make a violent attack upon the palace, and to form
the emperor not only to dismiss the hitherto unpopu-
lar minister, but to grant everything which the emu.
varies had expressed in a petition, and demanded
with weapons in their hands, has been most proi.
dentially overcome. The minister of the interior,
supported by a committee, resorted to very energetic
measures. The national guard was called out, pis,.
cards were issued, prohibiting the meeting, and the
'meeting did not take place. Ihis and the publication
of the new code of the constitution, which will ap-
pear this week, has tended greatly to quiet the public
mind.
The Gallician deputies have returned to Cracow
without having received a favourable answer from the
Emperor of Austria.

SWITZERLAND.—Advioes from Berne to the
17th have been received. The Diet bad a secret sitting ea
the 14th upon the dimand of the King ot Sardinia that Me
Swill. confederation should march 30,000 men into Loci.
hardy and keep ar. serve of 20,000 on the frontier. A com•
mittee was appointed on this whose report was expected to
be presented on the 17th. At the date of the last accounts
this report had nut been presented.
HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, APRIL 21.—This
morning the remain% of his pacedigeis Prince Alexm.
der of the Netherlands were in the royal tomb at
Delft, in presence of the Prince of Orange and Prince Henry
of the Netherlands. An immense concourse of person were

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.—We have
dates from Hamburg to the 21A ; and new. from Rendshurg
of April 18 says: The Hanoverian General Halkett a
appointed command, r-in4hief of the allied army, that is of
the Germanic contingent, as well as the Prusei.m, Schles-
wig, and Holstein troops. Prince Rachiwil will commend
one brigade, and the l'rince of Schleswig-Holstein Sonder-
ta..rg the other. The Duke of Brunswick will have no com-
mand. The Danes have sent sensed vessels into the West
Sea in order to intimidate the Island of Spit. The Copia.
hagen newspapers stele the determination of the King, in
the event of the l'runian troops not immediately evacuating
the duchies, to issue lettere of marque, capture the ships,
and lay an embargo on all Prussian property within his
dominions.
EltAZlLS.—Dates to the 3rd March have been
