MR. CAN-VEVG. S. VISIT TO IRELAND.

Deneee, Tenney.
Mr. Canning has quite withdrawn himself from pug
view since his visit to the Kildare-street Association, ninth
visit has excited a lively apprehension in the minds of the
Catholics of Dublin lett lie might receive an erroneous ins.
pre'ttion of the principles and practice of that hutitut'on
The Right Hon. Gentleman has been for the last two davit
on a visit to the Attorney-General, at his country sent, it;
the county of Wicklow. With the beautiful

that county lie has expressed himself execedinslydeliglge,t,
and he regrets that the arduous ditties of his station win
deprive him of the pleasure of seeing more of the interior
of Ireland. sterdav an express readied town, which
was forwarded to the Right lion. Gentleman, at the A,
torney-General's. It is stated, that Ida immediate ee
is required in London, in consequence of an alteration (I.
pectcd to take place in the policy of the Fret eli Cabinet
towards Spain. The express did not arrive until late in the
afternoon of yesterday (Moialay), and as vet it is net
ascertained whether Mr. Canning will leave Dublin bef,..,
Thursday, on which day he has engaged the cabin of t/e
St. George steam-packet to convey him and suite to Livcr-
pool. The reception of Mr. Canning has fully justified
the character for which this country is proverbial. Should
the Right Hon. Gentleman be enabled to remain in team a
few slays longer, he will dine with Mr. Secretary (laden
on Tuesday. He has also accepted an invitation to a d

Castle, and to a dinner party at Sir E. Lees's. The Crepe.
ration have, in their wisdom, resolved to pay the Right
lion. Gentleman no mark of respect ; but he has happily
anticipated their want of court ay, by declaring, almost on
the instant IA his arrival, that his visit was private, and
totally disconnected from any political purpose, or desire of
public recognition of attention. There are some, never n-
-1. as, who assert that a proposal to the Marquis Wellesley,
of a seat in the Cabinet, has been connected with his
present visit. Another report is, that he came to give the
countenance of his presence to the Noble Marquis s admi.
nisi ration. Again, it is asserted, that a matrimonial ath•
aims: between his daughter and a Noble Earl (('lanriearde),
has been the inducement of his coming amongst us : but
the truth is, that his journey has been undertalan, as be
himself states it, as a friendly visit to a Noble Lord, sith
whom lie has long been acquainted by the ties of persons:
intimacy and political friendship.

It is understood that Mr. Canning had made arrange-
ments, previously to the arrival of the express which came
over yesterday, for his departure on Monday next for Liwy.

[From the fluidly Afereasttile Adrertiser.l
The stay of this distinguished Statesman in this country
will be prolonged, we have reason to believe, for at km t
week longer. Conjecture, as might have been imaginal.,
is extremely busy in assigning objects for his visit to this
country. We too are not without our surmises, thocgh
they do not entirely agree with those of our contempormes.
Thie, however, we are warranted in saying, that Mr. Can•
ning's visit is not of a merely private nature ; and we rosy
add, that the period is not very distant, when the public
will witness some fruits of the presence of Mr. Conine in
Dublin. In the mean time, we are glad to perceive That
iu the respectable walks of society, there is every wish and
disposition to manifest respect and welcome to this illus-
trious strange!. We know not, however, whether it be
compatible with his feelings to rescue any distinct demon-
stration of public regard. And yet, we confess, we cannot
ace any harm, any thing impropt r on our part—we men
on the part of the commercial interest of Dublin—to give a
public manifestation of our feelings, and there can be nave
surely on the part of the flight Honourable Gentleman to
receive such an expression from the independent Citizens
of Dublin.
The truth is, an Addrrws, we timlerstsnd, is already pre-
pared by the Chamber of Commerce, and will. we should

man. This Body, which really represents the wealth, in-
fluence, and respectablility of the Mercantile Interest of the
City of Dublin, is, as it ought to be, and as might h ri.
rtcted from the character of its Members, foninost in gir-
mg expression to the public feeling on this occasion, and
the example, no doubt, will be followed
generally ty the
other Mercantile Bodies in the interior.
it's. have too good an opinion of that Body, to imagine
that there is any expression in an Address of them, that
could call for a politieol opinion from Mr. Canning. The
eloquent Secretary is known to have taken a lively and sr,
tive share in the promotion of those commercial pnrples
upon which, fortunately, the trashe of the Empire is row
managed. He deserves, therefore, from the Merchants of
Dublin, the tribute of an Adams, for the liberality of his
commercial principles—and really we cannot see what ob'
