Government is the welfare of the community.
Those Who t 'press themselves in another manner
speak as if the Palmer. had an interest distinct and
separate from the good of the community, and as if
lie were not constituted for the people."

Such are the opinions of Air. I.ocite; they are
sufficient to bear down all the frlse and interested
conclusions of the advocates of this measure, who
contend that this Treaty coerces the Parliament of
England, and that this measure, however unjust, is
one of necessity, and must be passed.
But do they forget a previous act, an act as solemn
cud more binding than the Treaty with FERDINAND
—an act by which the honour and character of
this country is solemnly pledged--we allude to the
solemn promises made by the acknowledged per-
%MOS r f the English Government to the South
A nicriroo Patriots. 11'ho is it that excited them
the Spanish dominion ?—the English Go-
serninent. Who is it that told them that Spanish
dominion was tyrannical and unjust ?—the English
Government. Who is it that promised them every

suppnrt ?—the English Government.
%Volt %hat consistency then cats we justify this
measure on grounds of national honour ? Ilas
of the national faith been pledgtd in support of
the Saudi American Patriots long before the Mi.
tasters entered into the Treaty now so much relied
on ? Ir, therefore, engagements are to have an influ-
ence ou the decision of Parliament, surely the first
t ngsgenicat entered into in support of a right cause,
is more landing than a sulnegrient Treaty entered
into to support a bad cause. We do then submit
that this Treaty, entered into against the wishes of
she E„.1:11,h people, itiol agai•ist the commercial in-
torevt- i•f this country, is opposed to the doctrines
of Incas:, is Opposed to the principles of the Bei-
-I.sli Coo.titution, is not therr-fure binding—and
I urther, that it is tint buidiug, because a previous
to-pg. meld was entered into with another power,
and of a directly opposite tendency.

MISS MACAIII.F.Y.
This Lady last night repeated her musical and
literary Regalin, designated The Shamrock. at the
Concert Room, King's Theatre, liaymarkrt. It
attracted a crowded and fashionable audience. A
principal novelty of the night was a comment opus,
the Lite performance of the rant of Lady Itawdolph,
at Covent-garden, by Mrs. SIDDONS. It is a just
eulogium upon the merits of that admirable adieu,
is well written, and was extremely well delivered by
Miss &lACAULEY. The composition does credit 1•0
her literary talents, and the pleasure which she frit
in speaking it does honour to her heart, However
grist the satisfaction her former represeutation af-
forded, she appeared to greahly superior advantage
last night, and evinced, that with .continned encou-
ragement, her Regalio may 101011 riroll with the must
attractive entertainments in this greut,sAetrupolis.

MISS MICAULEI"S ADDRESS 70 THE ITRLIC.

Deeply impressed with a sense of gratitude to the Polities,
and to soy own immediate fa Wads, for the encouragement
bestowed upon my Literary and Musical Regains, as also to
the literary Geut'omen of 11w day, who have (with very
fTw exceptiona) unanimously favosired me with their out
port, 1 feel itj a duty to myself and the public -Goyim this
early opportunity of explaining the -original nouti•es which
gave rise to the idea of this Entertuininent : It was lira'
began in Ireland in 1816, anal intended for the purpose of
establishing a Fund for the Education of 011ie els' Orphan
Daughters, of easy suet Army; but not Idiom any power-
ful fiteteds to assist me in the prosecutinn of use sinsleriaking
of such magnitude, I was at length, after mewls loss tit time
and injury to my en eunistanees, cumuellr.l to laiiuyaiah
the task for the time being, but 1 have server 'Oland of the
hope of bringing it forward at some future pea coil with good
effect. 1 have patiently waited till the title of events sl Id
Am, in my favour, that tide is now n.iif, sod I would take
it nt its flood, fur the adeautsge of those unprotected fe-
tei des, who need the band of bounty, and the voice of friend-
ship, to enable them to steer through the ocean of earthly
misfortune, without striking un the rocks and quicksands
of temptation and sorrow. The limits of a newspaper will
not allow a fall explanation of my plans, lent a pamphlet
published ou the subject in Ireland, at the. time before men-
tioned, will he left at Mr. flookliam's Library, fur the in-
spection of all who may Ise induced, either from motives of
benevolence or cariosity, to desire a perusal ; noel earnestly
1 entreat the patronage and support of sense of those dis-
tinguished characters, whose larva are spent iu projects of
active benevolence.

1 feel this early and candid explanation of my intentions
is proper—the progressive force of individual exertion will,
st best, be slow, but the voice of She public will be expe-
ditious, and also decisive. Health is precarious, life un-
certain, our euergies rkeline as our years proceed if, there.
