LONDON, THURSDAY. Dick Jza 2, 1694.

We have received the PJXII Morning and Evening

Papers of Monday. Their contents arc of very little
interest indeed. The war with the Ministry seems to lan-
ge.:sh. Both parties are perhaps reserving themselves until
towards the opening of the Chambers, when the question
will be dePnitively settled. Our private correspondence
not only enables us to anticipate all that is rcal!y important
in the French Journals, but supplies us also with a great
. number of facts which would otherwise ucver be known
beyond those circles in which they are whlsprred in Paris.

The Ornerier Francais relates the following additional
instance of the scandalous practices of the French police.
Our correspondent some time ago menticned the equally
absurd and scandalous affairs of the tri-coloured braces
and the seditious
Some months ago a person applied to a stale-maker, and desired
Lim to make a donn measures, of a yard, foot, and ell each, dif.

!,YeJnt from the standard established by law. The ntarufacturcr
t duscd to ft;rnish the articles demanded, but the man assured him
. that the dimensions were expressly named by a Sieur of
*lumen, and that they were of the same dimensions as those used

Spain, where the articles were to be forwarded to. Not yet
convinced, the shoprnan hesitated, and reqacated to see the letter
of M. Doino:., as a sort of guarantee: this was handed to Mm,
but the man had the address to get it hick from him, by leaving
anuther in his own handwriting, and which the tradesman yet flu.
'rite aztklcs were then linighed, and on the day on wl kit they were to
be delivered, the unfortunate tradesman was waited upon by the

Cammuisary of the Police and oflicers, who seized them all, and
eutercd a proves-verbal, summoning the man before the Municipal
11a0 continued the seizure, and condemned him, according
to the laws, to a fine and three days imprisonment.

The condition of Ireland at this moment occupier the
attention of the British public more fully than it has done,
palters, at any period since the Union. The attitude as-
sumed by the Catholics has spread the greatest alarm
amongst all classes of t` Protestant population. l'he
Catholic Association. which for some time canducted itself
with moderation, and expressly confined its visas to the
question of emancipation, as it is celled, has latterly
avowed that it aims at ulterior object'. The repeal of the
Union is one of these, without which, it is declared.
the Catholies will trot be satisfied. What other designs lurk
behind, we may perhaps conjecture without difficult:—
Tbe controversial meetings that have taken place between
the Catholic and Protestant clergy have still further exas-
rested the feelings of both. The former hare held a tcne
towards the latter, which has too strongly resembled that
of teen who are on the point of obtaininize, power to
~fleece their adversaries. The clerical character has been
estattatiously denied to the Ministers of the F.stablishea
Claes+, and their revenues hare been so mentioned, and
lieitlionaly assailed, as to admit no doubt of the designs,
cherished by the Catholic priesthood. The natural sense-
quence of these proceedings is, that the whole island is in
a sate of extraordinary irritation. The (.7atholic Asso-
rittion speaks the voice, and represnte etc feelings, of the
Catholics of Ireland as efectually and dangerunsly as
it could if it were formally delegated for that purpow.
The Catholic Kent is forwarded weekly to Duhiiin. The
}whets accompeny the eollectoes in their rounds, and ex-
ti ert—that is to say, ennenatel, their flocks to pay their
respective contributions. The Ceilidhs are firmly united :
they feel their strength growing and consolidating every
hour ; and, in the confidence of success, they hesi'ete not
already to resoit to the language of menace and intimida-
t'jn. And what period, of all others, have the infatuated
leaders of the Catholics chosen for this daring and unseemly
dieplty ? At the very moment when a course of heal
ling and cotteihatory titessures wits gradually producing 1
all the exults which the list friends and warmest patriots
