11 EsTYPIZA 'lux OP TOR ORDER OF JAiSfri

Aiongst the many extraordinary incidents that
every day °emir to astonish and perplex its, we may
reckon the restoration of an f)rder that had so lately
been suppressed in every country in 17trope. l'ope
Pius probably thought that in the re-organization of
the European' system, it would not lx amiss for the
Church to set about estahlishing some of its old
aLrents of influence and power. Amongst these
the Jesuits bore the leaul. Accustonted, frmn
initiation, to consider tla.attivaiseenie:-t ~f the
their first duty. WO !savior Ito other object of l•
Winn, the Jesuits have built found to pursue this
with llllUhated atul and unceasing rtfort—stheir duty
to their country was but secondary to what. they
owed their society—to promote that, every sacrifice
itwi trialle—e very stmta;;ent employed—every effort
out in requisiuoa. They occupied schools—they
entered pr.vate families—they bee:rune courtiers
and Nliteisters--and under the lowly garb of their
order, directed the measures of Gewerninetats, aast.
influenced the deAttly of the world. The exl,
lice of such en order was at last found incotopattble
with the rights of society, and it svu. rudely stip.
Kneed in every Catholic country. The reasons as..
signed for its re.eatublishmEnt are ludicrous enough.
Paul, the late Emperor of Russia, and a 'Jleanher
of the (reek Church, in tow of hi.; freak, of insanity,
bad, it seem!, requested the Pope to re-establish
it in his vast elomistions--anel in this request he
IWZI% joined by the fiery sapient and illustrious
Ferdiasaml, King of Sicily and Naples !
These two .Coloas had Levu tir:stat with the Holy
Father to let their people have the benefit of
the asaociation of Jesuit*, and he hotel- deduces the
plain ioference that the oriole t'aihniir scorlirde.
sires the same thing! His Holiness, therefore, act-
ing on this sort of logic, is resolved, told order; that
they shall all have it, and in the plenitude of his
apostolic power, damns every our who either now,
or aim shall in future, is screed() stressloraat, revoke
this has decree for that purpose. As the fulminas
foam frown the Chair of St. Peter, however, have
lost their efficary over a great part of the Cu-
theilk world, we are prepared to expect some etopu.
'anon to this Wan of his Holiness, for we cannot
think that thew: Staten, who acre lately so happy
to get rid of the Jesuits, o ill readily permit their
ne.cstablislirneast again, notwithstanding the threats
of eicinnl ptiteisl !tit, so loudly eleuouuced against
all who oppose the pupal will.

to the laws as then in operation for the protection

•of the loyal from nikinight murder and depredation.
• The only fact which the Secretary stated in proof of
the ivefliestry of the existing laws appeared to me,

who heard it, rather to bear a contrary conclusion.
It was that of the wurtkr of nu individu2l who had

given evidence ligninot one murderers, and in ex-

illustration rather unhappy, for the law which lie
feelingly pronounced limper:o4e, seenied in this
instance, at IcaA, to have exacted more than Saxon

retribution for the crime. It is true, Mr. Editor,
and I have no wish to deprive the Irish Secretory
of any of his associates, that his Cill met the con-
currence of the principal Irish Members in Parlia-
ment. it must, however, be recollected that the lute
period or th., Sass necessarily imposed absence
on many, and I have reason to think not more than
twenty dut of the hundred were present during the
discussion. The Billohnssupported, received the
sanction of P.rrii*iseufti Wei, however, without the
strongest opposition Irons some very able men, who
considered no inquiry shoold precede the suspen-
sion of the constitution. _

Having 'alluded to the supporters of the Tlill, k
may not be inapt to state, for the information of the
British public, a few OF its provisions. It autho-
rises the Nogi.aratcs of any disturbed county to
proclaim the some, and, with the approbation of
the Lord Lieutenant. to proceed in the discharge
of their functions—they are empowered, without
the aid of a Jury, to trausport, for a ternm not ex-
ceeding 14 years, such percons as shall be found
absent from their homes, without sufficient cause,
between sun-st t and sun-rise. Any three 'Magistrates
may constitute this tribunal ; and as it is but fair
no trouble should pass without recompense, the
Bill appoints the Dead Magistrate to receive a salary
of 700/. a year, with a house and offices, also .a
Clerk with 1601. a year, and the odditimail nom',
nation of Commstables, who are to rec,ive 100/. per
1 •
annum each. The Bill cloys not mender it Minera-
-1 tire upon allllle Magistrates of a count} to atteip
the meeting for adopting this Bill—seven alone are
declared sufficient for that purpose. The supporters
of this Act were free to eonfe,s, that it superseded
whole privileges of a free Covermiument, and alms
alone defensible from the necessity of the ease.
The Secretary went farther' lie declared in the face

to the total ant of an equal distribution of judicial
redress among that class of the people whiny the
stream of jtietity ought to be as pure its the fontitain
whence it springs; and last, though not lt-Jst, the
apparent encouragement in quarters where neutra-
lity should reign, of those miserable party distinc-
tions which earner dragon's teeth thrOughttut the

From these facts, Mr. Editor, it would appear
that Mr. ['vele was induced to propose thr. Insur-
rection Act by the eager desire of some of the Ma-
gistrtry to possess themselves of more enlarged
power. The application was of course accompa-
nied by statements of dangerous and lawless vio-
;etre among the people. The Judgei are soon af-
ter called to the several $,,a01-deliveries, RA in no
part of the country is any trace of a conspiracy dis-
coverable. Misery is in many places visible—the
remnant which the tithe-proctor leaves to the
wretched tiller of the soil, is torn from him by
County Presentments, the niojnrity of which are
proved mere jobs" of the gentry. If the
Judges, therefore, am to be believed, Parliament
has been imposed upon. If Parliament received
true information, the Judges ought to be iinpeach-
ed. Let the advocates of the Dill extricate Mr.
Peele from this dilemma. .

It may not he irrelevant to revert to whet is
matter of history relative to the Irish Act. During its
last operation, the abuses under its provisions were
so profligate and notorious, and grew of necessity so
cotnpletely out of the Act itself, that the Parliament
of Ireland were obliged to interpose their authority
in behalf of the Minions of Government, and by an
Act of indemnity, retrovective in its effect, prritect
from the consequence of civil actions, instituted by
suffering and persecuted individuals, those persons
who, under the colour of Magisterial authority, had
perpetrated the worst of crimes.
The British Public is wholly unacquainted with
the system of legislation pursued towards Ireland.
in many instances the Gentry of that country have
In ea P-md ready to sacrifice the public good for
motives of private pique or personal aggrandise-
meta. The Government has been at all times ob-
b4e I to meet their views, or saerdice their support.
I knee lung :irises tt at system of " hiperinm in
impfriu," which has ever been the bane of the land.
The rulers of the country yield to the local objects
of this body, provided it can collect it together as
an apex, whenever policy or necessity should ren;.
der it essential. No effort is made by either to suit
or follow the habits of the people, or bend them
to industry and moral imp;awetuent, except as far
as these may promote the passing pageantry of po-
pularity, and while we positively prohibit the
?lightest interference erith thin inhuman tites of the
Morino, and extend the progress of our civiliza-
tion to the thrwit of the African, .we can calmly
look on, and behold with apathy the degradation
of a country nhid lets poured forth its best blond
and titAsure in the coaanon cause, and can sanc-
tion that a small portion of its more favoured com-
munity shall have the power, by every eligiue of
factions display, to remind the larger of their na-
tional degrade ion, through the exciting medium of
religious distinction.
'I hose lnist4servations wise, "Ir. Editor, from
one who felt astonished that the circulation of plau-
ditory comments upon the Irish Government, for
the renewal isf coercive measures, Ili not met with
that reratilion which such opinionsVserve, though
1 couresii thyielf inadequate to the task ; however,
I shall nut feel %%holy useless 111 am she means of
