LONDON,
-FRIDAY, JOLT 1841.

The House of Coalitions was delayed to a late
hour List night by the question of referring the
claims of the Calcutta Bank to • Committee,
which question was carried, and a Committee, com-
prising the chief of the active Members on both
sides, was appointed. This occupied so much time,
that on Mr. Gou unsex moving the order of the
day for the second reading of the Bill for the
renewal of the Insurrection Act in Ireland, Sir
Ron•ar WI usom said that he hoped Miois-
ters would cousent to postpone the debate to
the next stage—th■t of the SPEAKISR quitting the
Chair for the House to go into Committee. Th.s
was conceded, •tsd the Bill was finally read a
second time—the debate being fixed for Monday.
This is but • brief respite tb be sore—happy would
it be if the interval could furnish tome more consoling
measure of policy for a country distracted with inde-
seribable calamities, than one which only goes to add
to their burdens, and aggravate a system of coer-
cion already insufferable. It is well known that in
some parts of Ireland the Magistrates have prayed
that their districts might not be cursed with Mr.
Pultes Peace Preservation Bill. This was before
the disolation of famine was conspicuous as it
is at present, and when no accounts had been re-
ceived of whole parishes receiving Extreme Unction
in expectation of inevitable death by starva-
tion. What is the Insurrection Act but an ex-
tension of the Pesce Preservation Act, the tran-
quilizing spirit of which was so much dreaded
by some of the more considerate Magistrates ? Is
this ■ remedy for the sufferings of a people Who are
described to be perishing in scores—black in the
face, and suffocated with the agonies of unappeasable
hunger ? Is this the only example Ireland is to have
to distinguish the wisdom and vigour of the pre-
sent Government from its predecessors ? •• Which
of you," says the Apostle, if your children
should ask you for bread, would give them a
stone ? or if for a fish, would give them a ser-
pent ?" Little was it ever thought that the literal
sense of the metaphor could ever be brought so
near to a dread reality. Let Government be cun-
►inced, -however, that the cure of Ireland lies not
in measures of this kind—that peace cannot be
spoken to her sufferings by new swarm, of office
myrmidons—i.or plenty restored to her plains
by the impost of fresh expenses to maintain them.
It is one of the existing evils under which she
labours, that her population are already too much
fretted by the number, variety, expense, and mo-
lestation of office agents. For what with excise,
police, middle landlords, and tithe proctors—consi-
dering always how popr are the resources which fall
to the share of the labouring population—the wonder
should be that the country has not beets overtakes
with famine before, or that it should have expe-
rienced tranquillity for a single moment. To think
of letting this complication of distemper rage on
without soy one specific attempt at relief, or to
dream of fiudiog a remedy in measures of the very
same nature with the causes of the disease, is
absurd, impolitic, sod harsh, in a degree which
taunt be safely described.

Madrid Papers to the 26th last have been received.
They contain thy following account of ■n attempt
of a counter revolution in Mexico :

'T. SZBASTIAN, JUNE 13.

The Spanish brig Brilloose tifriiano. Captain
Morales, has arrived here from the Havaonah, from
which place it brings accounts up to the 28th April.
A private letter says, thut "while the Regency and
Congress of Mexico were accusing each other, a
plot was discovered that had been carrying on be-
tween the Governor of the fort of St. Juan de Ultras
and the Spanish troops that were marching from the
interio► to embark. In consequence of this disco-
very a Colonel Buceli was arrested and sent to the
capital in irons, and severe regulations adopted
to prevent the exportation of silver, and to refuse
passports. This event had caused great conster-
nation at Vera Crux, from which people were with-
drawing as quickly as possible, fearing a general
catastrophe. Meantime we know that Cruz Mur-
geon is making fresh progress in Quito and New
Granada. This does not hiuder us from living in.
tolerable tranquillity here, though it causes us some
uneasiness."

Another letter state', that " the plan was extremely
well contrived, and that in a week New Spain would
have been recovered, but the whole was betrayed
by D. N. Ruiz, Colonel of the regiment of Na..
vane, who has been brought to the Hormonal, un.
der arrest, by Davila's order, on Irstd the Muria

division was at Mips, with 1,200 men, and 400
that are at St. Louis. Not one Spanish soldier re-
maim in the kingdom. Some persons blame DJ-
vila for forming the plan of a counter revolution,
as the discovery of it has induced the Mexican Go-
vernment to suspend the exportation of silver."
The Spanish Papers also recei►ed contain an sc.
count of the neconcilistion between Muley Soly-
man,, the Emperor of Morocco, and his nephew
Zeid.

We have received the Paris Papers up to Tues-
day last. They contain the following answer of the
Kiag of SPstu to the Cortes. They communicate
nothing else of any interest. The answer was pre-
sented in the lilting oT the 20th last, and is to the
following tenor :
" 1 have received with the greatest satisfsetioo the Ines-
loge which the Curies 6M• add d to me, io which are
considsod their reipect far the constitutional th►ove, and

their desire to contribute to the happiness of the wmarcliy.
" The perspective which the restoration of the constitu-
tional regime in 1810 presented was far from being flatter-
ing, bat it was not difficult to foresee, by consulting the
history of nations, that the distaste was Immense be-
tween the proclamation of liberty and the power of mono-
lidatiog it, and that time alone, aided by prudence and
constancy, could correet the accumulated abuses of sges,
arrange under as usiferm plan the different breathes of she
administration, and bring the opinion., the manners, and
the interests of the notion, to the level of political institu-
tions. Is does not depend upon the Government to precipi-
tate the natural course of things; nor to avoid the evils
which are ineeparabk from grave and difficult rifer..: but
I do wt hesitate to assure the Cortes that I shall employ
energetically all the means, faculties, and rights which the
fundamental law gives me to secure its religions observance,
and to smooth down the obstacles opposed to its consoli-
dation.

" 1 depend opon the co-operation of the Cortes to attain
an end so important—upon the wisdom sod perseverance
which characterize the Spanish people—wpon the enthaseisem
and bravery of the army and the militia—upon the iufluence
of public opigiou, sad the Support of the immente majority
of the nation—Mewing with satisfaction, amid the grief which
is excited in me by the events' which agitate some parts of
Spats, that experience justifies the full motives of my coo.
fidence.

" I promise myself, with the resources which are decreed
by the Courts, mat the means which ere within the power
Or Government, to see in • short time irearieillity est*.
blished In Spain, anti the attempts of the enemies of the
constitution entirely frustrated. In this manner we shall
prove the firMilelif of the constitutional regime, withewt

haw* recourse to indraerdinary rasaas, often little nee's.
meg, mtnetlaes daagerous, and always a proof of the is-
poteace of the esisties laws.

" In vein shall the *send same of religion be 'tavola.] to
sedilee the foolish—ln/vale shall an attempt be made to coo.

The people will be docile 10 the voles of the Monmch, and,
on the contrary supposition, the sword of the law will drire
within the path of dety those who would persist in a erimi.
nal error.

being convinced that it is impossible to attack t►e iadepend-
mire of a Cation without leading to disastrous effects uc the
power and boomer of the sovereign.

" I am supremely happy that In present circumstances,
while the spirit of sedition is active in all seams to mislead
the simple inhabitants of our plains, and to provuke dun.
gerous altercations, that the message of the Curies has
procured me a public and solves. occasion to reiterate the
expression of my sentiments, that the Spanish natio, may
consider the rights of the constitational throne as n atm
guarantee of its liberty and its glory.
