LONDON, THURSDAY,
The Paris Papers of Monday bring us no fresh intelli-
gence from arty part of Europe. The policy and proceed-
i ogs piths English Cabinet seem at this moment to engross i
the attend= of the French politicians of all classes. We
observe that the Ministerial Journals continue to affirm,
very positively, that the general peace will not be inter-
, opted, though the Cabinet of Madrid is using all its in-
duc.ce to stir up the Powers of the Holy Alliance to take
ve:leance on this country fur violating what they call the
in;:iciples of legitimacy. The Spanish Ministers are stated
,J have resolved upon sending out two expeditions, one to
::conquer Mexico, the other to preserve Peru.! For this
purpose, the amstitutionnel says, a junta of ecclesiastical
Igattaries will be formed, to raise the necessary funds
by an assessment on the church property. The Etoile,
however, asserts, that a new loan has been con-
tracted, on terms nowise contrary to the dishonest
determination Of FLADIN•ND, " Never to recognize,
in any manner, the loans of the Revolutionary Go-
vernment." We are told that "at this moment the ra-
tification of the Committee of the shareholders in England
is waited for." What Committee is this ? The Spanish
Government is surely in a day-dream.
In the private correspondence from Lisbon, the French
papers give a sketch of the characters of the new Portuguese
Ministry. The accounts that have been received from
that capital perfectly concur with the representations given
U. 41. y a Lt
In all the letters we have seen, the writers speak of the
&Lange in the Portuguese Ministry as a complete triumph
of the English influence ; and they conikkntly look to the
recognition of Brazil, by the Cabinet of Lisbon, as soon
as Sir Cii•RI.V.B STUART shall arrive thetc.

in the German Papers received yesterday, we observe a
statement which tends strongly to corroborate the opinion
that the policy of England, with respect to the new Ame-
n an States, will in substance be followed by the maritime
Powers of Europe. The Government of the Netherlands
has rent out Commissioners, who are now in America
waking the requisite ingaiiries, preparatory to the act of
recognition ; *tad notwithstanding the doubts we have seen
..apre...aed by some who ought to know the character of the
French Government well, we believe that M. DI Viu.si.s
witl take the first opportunity of disengaging himself from
Cie trammels of his corm-Aim with Spain and the
Holy Alliance, in order that he may promote the corn-
/genii istaresu of • the country over which he presides.

He inclines decidedly to a pacific system. and it is easy to
dts-ern, that in his late financial measures a principal ob-
ject was to 'restrain the warlike propensity of the ultras
bi whom he is surrounded and embarrassed. But if die
statement to which we have above alluded be true, one of
the leading members of the Holy Alliance has also com-
Omitted the scandalous offence of suffering the interests of
Ms subjects to preponderate over the sacred pr:nciples of
legitimacy. It was rumoured some time ago, that the Ca-
binet of Berlin was disposed to follow the example of Eng-
land, and it is now announced that the Prussian Govern-
ment has resolved to establish a commercial intercourse
with the new States ; and that, for that purpose, a Prus-
Man Consul has been appointed at Buenos Ayres. It
is in this quiet, but effectual mode, that we expect the
wise and temperate policy of Mr. CANNING will operate.
Theehief danger he had to avoid, in accomplishing his ob-
joetvwas that of giving to the violent party on the Con-
tinent a pretext for being offended. The Right Honour-
' able Secretary has steered safely and successfully through
all the difficulties of his course, and peace being thus en-
sured, the mercantile and manufacturing interests in eac::
State, are left quite free to urge, on their respective Go-
vernments, is we may be sure they will not fail to do, the
propriety and justice of protecting them, by the usual ar-
rangement' with the independent Colonies of Spain. This
question will probably lead to the virtual dissolution of that
mischievous compact of Princes which most indecently sr-
rogated to itself the title of the Holy Alliance.

The state of Ireland will this evening come under the
consideration of both Houses of Parliament. In the
Lora, the Earl of Lie moot., pursuant to the notice he
gave on the first day of the Session, will bring the subject
generally before the House, in moving for an inquiry halo
the condition of the country. In the Commons, Mr.
Got:see as, as the organ of the Irish Government, will
prove for leave to bring in a Bill for the more effectual sup-
pression of unlawful Associations. In each House we may
expect a long and animated debate, with respect to the in-
fluence and character of the Catholic Association. The
Opposition, faithful to the duty their name imports. have
resolved to support this new power, sui generis, to which
they positively affirm Ireland owes whatever internal peace
and prosperity she enjoys. The Loan LIEUTIN•NT, how-
ever, it appears, differs from them widely in his view of the
effects of these Associations, and until lately the adminis-
tration of the Marquis Watt ESLEY WAS the theme of their
reluctant but unqualified approbation. It is hard, we as
told, to put down an Association which has been produc-
tive of so much advantage (viz. according to their estimate,
all the good that has been done for Ireland), because its
leading members may have indulged in strong or even in-
flammatory language, or because its peace-making ad-
dress tnsy have adjured its subje:ts to be tranquil
by the hate they bear the rest of their countrymen.
Much, it is said, should be allowed to men smart-
ing under galling grievances, and especially to a peo-
ple warm and uncalcuiating like the Irish. But the
passages selected are not all that have been uttered in this
spirit. They are not picked out of a mass of harm's',
matter ; they are only fair samples of the whole. At
every meeting such appeals are made, and by every
speaker ; and surely the impetuosity belonging to the na-
tional character, far from rendering the Association an ob-
ject of indifference, makes it, under these circumstances,
the more dangerous and alarming. As it grows in power,
we see it daily assuming a tone of loftier audacity, and
guiding and directing the feelings of a bigoted and ignorant
peasantry like that of Ireland, who shall foretel the evils it
may produce, if it be antlered to proceed unchecked ?
One day Mr. Snell. expatiates upon a general massacre of
the Protestants, which he predicts as the result of their in-
tolerance

and illiberality. On another day Mr. O'Cox
NELL assures his Catholic auditory that the BOURBONS,
sympathising with them by reason of the community of
religious sentiments, will, the first war that happens, avoid
the error of BoNArsers:, and strike down the greatness
of England, by delivering Ireland from her tyranny. At
the meeting of the Association, on IVednesday last, the
Learned Gentleman, •we perceive, turned his attention to
the Clergy of the Established Church. A previous speaker
had been lauding the Scotch for their obstinate resistance
to episcopacy. Mr. O'CoN xri.r., in allusion to this Ad-
dress, went on to remark
Scotland for more than one hundred years was the most turbo.
lent part of the empire. She did not exhibit the patience or self-
control of Ireland, nor patiently suffer herself to be trampled on,
while her oppressors rode by in triumph. She hewed down with
the Milt d of the Lurd Me Archbishops and Bishops; and when the
force of the Riltish arms became too strong for her people, they
retired to their mountains, and, after renovating their vigour, they
returned to carry desolation to the very dwellings of their assailants.
The Scots rose in repeated insurrections, and retaliated on their
foes by more than one successful rebellion. They got possession
of their King, and then sold hint into the hands of his enemies.
The scene of carnage and desolation was renewed after the Resto.
vision ; and if the Scots fell, their only consolation was, that they
dyed their avenging swords with the blood of their enemies."

-- -
Mr. 0. CONNLI.L does not, in terms, say to the Irish
" Go, and do likewise ;" but we think nobody can
mistake the purpose of this eulogy on the hewing
down Archbishops and Bishops. When the Learned
Gentleman's friend and ally, COBBII T, sent over his
plan for the " pid:Foid," he described very minutely how
easily forged notes might be scattered about the streets,
and how certainly the Government would, by that acl, be
paralyzed and overthrown. But " mind," said he, " I
advise nobody to do this. I only show how it might be
'done." By such artifices as these, the existing law may be
'cheated, but surely that is the best reason why it should
be amended.

The English Markets opened a shade worse than their
closing price of yesterday. At the beginning of the day
Consuls for the Account were at 931, and there were buyers
at that price ; they soon, however, declined to a The
money price all day was 933 ; at the conclusion, the
markets were rather flatter. The Foreign Securities were
all firm during the day. Colombian Bonds, 82i ; New
Brazilian Scrip, 41i; Spanish was steady at 221; Mexican,
tili ; Buenos Ayres, 92; Peruvian, 1341; French Rentea,
104; and Greek Bonds were done at 59; GO. The latter
were much sought after, and a general confidence prevailed
on the Stock Exchange as to the success of their cause.
The New Greek Loan was full by twelve o'clock yesterday ;
indeed, the respectability of the contractors has given the
best sanction to the public confidence in the affairs of Greece,
as it is manifest they must be satisfied of the soundness of
the cause that the loan is intended to support. The Mine
and Share Market was improving; indeed, the panic, camped
by the Lord Chancellor s deeltration, appears to be in a
great degree removed.
A St. Domingo Mining Company is now forming in the
City.
The Newfoundland Papers contain the particulars of a
public meeting of the inhabitants, held the Sd of January,
to take into consideration the Report of the Committee
appointed to negociate with the English Government, re-
specting the state of the fisheries, the agricultural, and,
