The Dublin Papers of Tbafsday are full e hot.

letters state, that the accounts in the politic jour.
oafs are hat faint repre•entatiour of the actual
scenes they describe. The following is extracted
from the last number of the Galway 46erliser:—.

The Dublin Freeman of Thursday says, from
Mayo some very melancholy accounts were received
yesterday, also—
" At an adjourned meeting held at Setneford, to consider
the condition of the baron, of Gallen. it was slated that an
wupteetieted degree of dishes* crisis in sewn peel:Are,
amounting to a fourth, *ad in many iamonces, to a third of
a population of about 27,000 souls. It was resolved to form
parochial committees, and to apply to the oos-resident pro-
prietors pat ticulatly, for subscriptioss."
The Mayo Constitoion, published at Castlebur,
supplies the following :
"The awful and most melancholy ditty of announcing the

HAGUE, JUNI 5.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day, •
project of law for the duties on national spirituous li-
quors was presented conformable to the law of
July, HMI. It was referred to the Section for
exam i catkin.

The &mission on the project of law for the
alienstion domains then commenced, and was
resumed m the evening sitting. Many more Mem-
bers spoke against the measure thins in favour
of it, and on the question being put, the numbers
were—Noes, 75; Ayes, 40; Majority against the
law, 55. On which the Chamber resolved to es.
press its gratitude to the King for his intention to
the interest of the kingdom, but respectfully to re-
consider the measure in question.
Elio MAjesty arrived here yesterday from the Loo.
VIENNA, MAY 27.
The Ai:trials °burro., after mentioning the
retreat of the Turkish troops from the piincipa-
lilies, has not again touched on the subject, or its
general the question of peace or war, so that we do
not know what effect this step of the Turkish
Government has had, nor whether the principa.
Nies, supposing them to be really evacuated,
will remain unocupird, or whether other troops
will replace the Turkish. The little town of
of Tansy, in Bohemia, was destroyed by fire on
the 4th of May; 130 very pretty houses, the church
and Town Hall, were destroyed, and two peieunis lust
their lives.

A Sunday Paper announces that 'deices were
received on Saturday from Vienna, dated the 3111

mission to Vienna excited so much attention, has
returned to that capital, with unqualified assurances
of the disposition of the Emperor ALEXANDER to
preserve peace, and his consent to attend in person
the approaching Congress at Florence, for which
M. de TAIISCHEFT is empowered to snake the ar-

The 14th in the series of the Naval and Military
Pensions Payment Resolutions is fixed fir further
consideration in the Committee in the !louse of
Commons this evening. This is the R,sulution for
the equalizing the duty on salt in every part of the
united kingdom. We noticed on its first introd ucticat
by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the in-
jurious operation which it mu►t have upon the provi.
sion trade in Ireland, which it deprives of the advan-
tage which it now enjoys over the Engli,h market.
In this light it is considered in that country as in a
great degree neutralizing the benefit conferred in the
proposed repeal of the fire hearth and window loxes.
Tire Irish merchants immediately interested in the
trade have taken the alarm, and are ■ctively
ployed its preparing a remonstrance against its pass-
Mg 'Moo law without some modifications.

It was stated in our Pape► or Saturday that the
second reading of Mr. GoUritUßN's Irish Police
Bill was carried on Friday night in the House of
Commons by a majority of 58. We can only at.
tribute this result to the soddenness with shish this
visitation has come upon us. We are confident
else gentlemen of England, now so much alive to
the long misrule of Ireland, will re►ist this rwhilis
political measure with the same benevolent spirit
that has distinguished their exertions to allay its
physical distress. What is the argument for this
most extraordinary and unexpected mta,ure ? Why,
from the increase of absented the resident
gentry of Ireland are so reduced in number, and
deteriorated in character, the Grand Juries artil/s
longer tit to appoint the constables in their k •
spective counties, and it is become necessary s
divest them of that power, ■nd setting them cot►•
pletely aside, to place it in the hands of the Loct
LIEUTENANT of Ireland for the time being. At
the lime of the Union, Ireland was taught to ex.
pect a more intimate enjoyment of the Britisli
Constitution, a nearer approach to the principles
of a free and liberal government as exercised
in England. When the late violent messur
were required by the Executive for Ireland,
not the demand accompanied with an semi

remedy, an effort would be made for the inlr

sent evil system that has so long blighted the
pecta of that unfortunate country ? What is i
commendation ? 171'hy, simplicity and energy.
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, reposing io his Wi

commendation of this measure is thus its el

avowedly, a despotic government at once.

There are now on the books of Trinity College,
Dublin, the names of 1,700 students, or about
thrice the number that existed in the early life
of the Marquis WELLRILET. Is not this great
increase of educated men among the gentry
of Ireland competent to the service of the State,
for the dimensions of the island remain ex-
actly the same. The great advance that has
taken place in their rent-rolls, and which exists
even at this moment of pressure, compared with
the rents of thirty years ago, speaks something in
favour of their integrity and independence. Oh !
hat then we are told the spirit of alnenteeship
la, thinned the ranks of the resident gentry,
and hence arises the necessity of the present
measure. Now is this spirit of absenteeship a
permanent fashion of the country, and an evil that
defies all hope of alleviation or cure ? it so hap..

wards the earth, which has a like appearance to the
inhabitants of the moon, with the exception of its
presenting a much larger face. It is easy to con-
ceive what a treat it must prove to the lunatics who
reside in the opposite part of the moon to make a visit
to that side which commands a view of this world.
Such has really been the state of the people of
England. A long-protracted and inveterate war
had cut off all communication between Frunce and
this country a► completely as if separated by mil•
lions of miles. There must, therefore, exist for u
few years a great mania to visit the Continent. The
Union must also increase the number of Irish ab-
sentees. But who are these emigrants ? why, the gen-
try of Ireland, who are in easy circumstances,
whose rent-rolls have been increased threefold
by the war, but many or whom the present
distress of the country must compel to return
home, because it cannot longer supply them
with the means of living abroad. They may
not go home to hold the plough, like CINCINNATI'S,
with their own hands, but most assuredly they must
look after it, for their tenantr, now saved only by
English benevolence from death by famine, can •
no longer administer to their ease and luxuries
In a foreign clime. The present evil of absenteeship,
we therefore contend, has • tendency to cure itself,
sud yet instead of facilitating 'that cure, the
Minister for Itelnud proposes • measure that must
aggravate the evil mud render all cure hopeless.
The gentry cf Ireland in the distressed districts
have instituted an anxious inquiry into the causes
of the present distress, in which the number of
absentees, and the consequent want of employment
among the poor, are stated as the principal causes.
The Minister for Ireland, wits this exposition
staring him in the face, proposes as a cure, • men•
sure that must swell the slumber of absentees, by
disgusting the gentry, sod rendering the country
ouitiliabitable to all who do not feel pleased with
their own degradation. Mr. PLUNKETT, in advo-
cating this measure, treats it as a temporary expe-
dient. We do not perceive any traces of a tempo.
fey character about it. That Right lion. Gen-
tleman, iu his admirable answer to Mr. Ewa,
contended truly that the disturbances in Ireland
were confined to ■ few distracts. Why then intro.
ilyee a general measure to meet a local evil ? It
was well observed by Mr. SHERIDAN on ■ like oc-
casion, if there be pimples on the cheek of a
beauty pot a patch upon them, but do not clap
a mask upon the whole face ? Again, if it
be not intended as part of a new permanent
system, why is the old system superseded in the
great body of the country, against which there exist,.
no cause of complaint ? But the very stature of
the new plan exhibits it as an intended permanent
measure. The system whose place it proposes to
occupy is not set aside in expectation that it may
row and fructify so as to yield a better harvest.—
Tlie proposed system defeats the hopes of the her-
►rst—it aggravates the barrenness of the land, by
encouraging absentreship, the very ground which
los been chosen for its basis.
