LONIX)N, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1944.

The Paris papers of Friday, and the node of Saturday
reached us last night. They contain little of any import-
ance. The stales, imam' date from Madrid the 11th
of February, that letters from Lisbon of thu 4th announce
an expedition was preparing in that port for Brazil, the
troops fur which, amounting to twelve thousand men, were
to be commanded by Lord Bereaford. We cannot believe
this to be true : such an expedition, and under our

On the let of February, leis Eminence Cardinal Louis Pandald,

The following Bayonne letter, to the 14th of February,
wilt he read with some interest, from the details it contains.
The French tread on any thing but peaceful ground in
Spain ; like those who walk on volcanic soil, the unseal
fires of deadly hostility are everywhere around theta, and
will probably soon break out is general hatred and &fi-
ance. Ferdinand's amnesty appears to be what we expected,
a list of individual proscription, worthy of this con-
temptible tyrant, and the crew of infatuated bigots by
whom he it mairtmed. !low long will all this endure!
flavoiter, Fea. 14.

It'e have received letters and journals from Madrid of the 9tb.
The journals, or rather the oath• primal now published at Madrid,
contains no news whatever front the provinces, and we ran there-
fore only speak of what passes at !Madrid, and the reports in circu-
lation. Ou the Bth two French soldiers and one Spaniard, who
lad been drinking together, were passing through the Place de la
Celtada ill at once the Spanish soldier drew his sabre, and aimed
a blow at one of the Frenchmen from Iw hind, which nearly cat off'
his leg. It is thought that this event has sonic other cause than
the drunkenness of the soldier. flowerer, the whole quarter was
la motion ; the guard of Spanish cavalry which ass posted opposite
the spot was ping to take anus ; the troops wore, however, made
to retire, and tranquillity was restored; bat it is to he regretted
that similarslamis occur every day, and it may be apprehended, that
ii the end the people will take part in them, which would place our
troops in a very unpleasant situation.
Among the reports in circulation, it Is woleitively affirmed. that
at firmed& two Deputies to the Cortes were condemned to be hang.
et! ; that on the day filled for their execution, and at the moment
tl•ey were going to agreed the scafl'i ld. the people rose ; there was a
minhat in the streets, which lasted several hours, and during this
t•a•e imams were found to enable the two lkputies to escape.
toned bands continue to traverse Andalusia and La Mancha,
•Hurt• hut a feeble resistance is made to them.

Tlivre are also wally disorders in Gunk-la.
1.. !amid that an estrsonlinary courier just arrived here, brings
news that the decree or an3nritty is at length signed, hat that
contains so many restrictions that it would have ban as well not
to podoth it at all

A gallant and successful attack on a earvette of the Par-
Infirm of Algiets, who are the curse of the Mediterranean
and the disgrace of the civilised world, that still suffers
them to pursue their nefarious traffic, has been trumpeted
I)) sonic of the Sunday papers as a most formidable occur-
; as if a rapt tre by this great country with the pira-
tieal Regency of :llgiers couhl he thought of for • mo-
en:•et with alarm, or constrite.l as an interruption to the
profound peace that Great Bri:ain otherwits• enjoys. Such
A C Atiteld, even if necessary, call scare,: produce a ripple on
th,• wide, smooth sea of tranquillity that everywhere stir-
mends a t. The Itarbarians, that make a desert of the fair-
est portion of the Roman world, int:at again be taught to
ri.sp et the rights of justice and humanity ; they must be
toils:Heil to adhere to the treaty they executed near eight
wars sine. If we attack Algiers again, it ouglq. to b•
.hulk• an full force ; a squadron should be sent mtificiellt to
la) the batteries and city in ashes. Algiers, for ages since it
fell a prey to the Moor* and the Turkish power, has been
the scourge of Christendom, and defied the resentment of
the most formidable powersof Europe'. Thu coast, which
in other days supplied the populace of lime with corn,
and, fur fifty days journey, afferdill • succession of
i>,tp•tluua cities, has fur centuries bream the newt of

lawless pirates and barliwians, and the terror of peace-
ful traders. The Emperor Charles the Fifth lost a
large fleet and army in an ill-concerted expedition
against this place in 1341 ; a fleet from this country burnt
the Corsairs' vessels in the harbour in 1033 and 1670, and
the French bombarded it in 161411; in 1773, the Spaniards,
with a large force, trade a descent near the city; and in
Irmt a powerful Spanish fleet attacked the forts defending
the harbour, but in cash instance failed with great loss.
In NIG, the barbarian who rules this Regency, under the
name of I)ey, amid the terror of a British fleet, concluded
a treaty with Lord Plymouth for the liberation of all Eu-
ropean captives ; but having refused to fulfil the stipula-
tions, when our fleet had quitted the harbour, and mur-
dered several Neapolitan captives, the British squadron
returned on the 47th August, 1916, and after a desperate
conflict laid the batteries in ruins, and destroyed the ship-
ping in the harbour ; the Dey then agreed that all Chris-
tian slaves should be released, and piracy for ever aban-
doned. The barbarian has since been recruiting his
marine, and pursuing the same lawless traffic. The next
visit from our force will, we trust, be a memorable and de-
cisive one, and leave nothing to African faith : the
" Prxica fdes" has been for ages justly distrusted.
Algiers lies well; it is built on the declivity of a hill, and
has the form of an amphitheatre next the harbour. The
tops of the houses, as throughout a great part of the East,
are flat, and the streets steep and narrow. The mole of
the harbour extends about 500 pacts from the main laud,
to a small adjacent island. The number of inhabitants,
some few years since, was calculated at 100,000 Mahorne-
tans, 13,000 Jews (who monopolised the greater part of
the traffic), and about 11,000 Christian slaves. The exist-
ence of this piratical Regency, and those of Tripoli and
Tunis, are the disgrace of Europe. Sir Sidney Smith,
soon after the Congress of Paris, endeavoured to effect a
union of the European Powers, to extirpate these bar-
barians, but failed. Should the power of this country be'
directed against Algiers again, we trust the blow will he
effective and decisive. We should have a squadron and
tire-ships in the bay, sufficient to level the pirates batte-
ries in the dust, to destroy the city, and fire every vessel
in the harbour: ■n armed force ought also to be On board,
sufficient to make a descent near the city, and co-operate
fully in the work of destruction with the fleet. The
punishment of the barbarians of Algiers would be a
memorable lesson to the Turk, and serve the (irceka
essentially. Nothing hut an expedition of this sort will
stay the piracy of Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers.

The assertions of the shallow Courirr, in one or two late
numbers, respecting the Catholics of Ireland, arc utterly
untinuoled ; they betray a t.otal want of acquaintance with
that country, and a complete ignorance of the present state
of its population. The Courier appears tired of its pass-
ing fit of liberality, and has returned to its old trade of
misrepresentation and bigotry again. "It is our firm be-
" lief (this Paper says), founded upon adequate means
" for ascertaining the fact, that the instances in which

" Catholics are educated arc, in proportion to their num-
" hers, u rare as those of Protestants who are not."
Nothing can be more untrue; we know it to be so: a per-
fect acquaintance with the condition of the greater part
of the Irish people enables us to make the assertion most
unqualifiedly. The majority of the Catholic children in
all great towns now arc educated—that is, they arc taught
reading, writing, and accounts. In one city in the south
of Ireland alone—that of Cork--there is a school on the
lAncasterian system, supported by voluntary contri-
butions, with two most useful individuals at its
head, where more than a thousand boys of the poorer
order are annually educated. In Dublin, Limerick,
Waterford, and the other great towns, there are also scheols
on the same plan, where thousands of the rising generation
,receive the same great hcnedts. These excellent institu-
tions are only for the children of the poorest ordure, who

cannot afrord to pay any thing, however small ; but in
Imost every street of the leading towns, and in all the
villages, there ire cheap schools beside, where, for a trifling
payment, the children of tradesmen and the peasantry are
taught the rudiments of education. In the same way, the
female children, whose parents cannot pay for them, are
educated and confirmed in sentiments of religion and virtue
at the Convents, where thousands of them learn reading,
writing, and useful plain-work. The fact is, the lower
order of the Protestants in Ireland are the most ignorant
and profligate pot nun of the community ; all the low
Orange Lodges are formed and filled by them ; they
are neither educated nor well conducted, and have no
religious impressions whatever. So much for the " firm
belief" and veracity of the Courier. 'the assertion
of that paper, with respect to thu Irish oflieers in
the army, is just as well founded : in opposition to
what the Courier states, we have taken up the Anny

List Of the revolt and sonic put years, and can assert
that one-third of the Irish Officers are Catholics, and we
might go further. The corri,r might as well say, that
not one out of fifty of the European residents in India

are Scotchmen, when we know they fill almost every place
of protlt. Of the medical profession in Ireland more than
4:lw-half are Catholics—we might safely assert two-thirds.
1 The proportion of Catholic Attorneys and solicitors is full
lone-half : the liar is crowded with Catholics ; but the
pro Portion we relieve not to be as great as in the former.
IVhat does the Currier mean by inferior retainers of the
law, in Irea Lund? Is it the classical tribe of Iwilittr ? The I
Catholic cannot gain much credit from wearing the badge
of this tribe. Hut eves a number of what are not unaptly
termed the " men of feeling•' are Catholics, and fill even
the ranks of these jacialh of the law, from which honour-
aide distinction the Courier would exclude them. In Tti-
nity College, Dublin, there are now from 1,1100 to V,uno
students, graduating for the different learned profesrions,
and of these more than one-half are Catbolies. It is only
within forty yawn that education has been dimwit open
to the Catholics at all, and the liberal professions within a
much shorter period. While the penal code remained un-
mitigated, no Catholic could keep a school, and the people
of Ireland were driven to the Continent for education ; the
liberal professions, up to 1791, were all shut against Catho-
lies. The object of this infernal code was to barbarize as{
well as degrade. Na Catholic could marry a I'rotcstant ;
he could not hold property that was freehold, or any to-
tune for a longer period than 31 years; he dared not ride a
home above the value of .51. ; and any Protestant who offered
that sum might claim the animal as his own. The son'
was cm-our:Ted to inform against his father ; and, by be-1
owning Protestant, he might strip him of his pmir:rty, and
leave an entire family destitute. Since these abominable
statutes have been repealed, education, intelligence, and
wealth, hare been increasing rapidly among the Catholics.!
the statements of the Curt r, therefore, are destitute of,
all truth. hut immune theist for a moment to be founded—
and that. with a population of seven millions in Ireland,
more than six of which are Catholics, the army and the
liberal professions were formed as this paper asserts—what
a picture would it not present of the state of things in that
I country ! what an illustration would it not be of the situa-

Lion of the people generally, and the policy of the Govern-
mentl
under which they live! What is the logic of the!
Courier ? It eulogises that code of other days, a foul rem-
nant of which, after brutalizing and degrading the Irish I
people for ages, still survives; and it then exults in the ef-
fects it has produced, and triumphantly paints to the mo-
nopoly it has given the few in Ireland, and the exclusion
it has carried among millions. The state of Ireland is not
what the C'uttrier would make it ; but it has not been the
fault of that paper and its patrons that utter degradation
has not fallen on its people. No country, or its history,
can instance a more iniquitous code of proscription than
that deviseel fur Ireland, and which, for more than a cen-
tury, swept the land like a pestilence. All the fell agents!
of moral evil followed in its train, and were let loose to
, tyrannize and plunder ; the people were denied education ;
they were denitel the solaces of religion ; they were stripped
of their property, and forbade the common rights of sub-
jects; they could not acquire, or hold for any term ; they
could not intennarry with the Protestants around them;
every means was taken both to exterminate and
degrade than. A better system now prevails;—the
Catholic is protected in his property, and in the exercise
of his religion ; education and the liberal professions, to
a certain extent, are also opt 11 ; and in forty years the
change that has taken plow is indeed very peas. The
Courier may pick up from a stray informant the names of
some two or three inilividusls who have held the situation
of Secretaries to Grand Juripi in Ireland, and imagine the
discovery so important as to be an answer to all the
charges of exclusion of Catholics. It does not follow that
the two individuals named by the Courier were Catholics
because that paper states It; and we happen ourselves to
know that one of the* inns Vat. So much, again, for the
information of this journal. But though half a dosen
Catholics might have been admitted into inferior offices in
Ireland, what does it 'hew; but, as the exception proves the
rule, that in general they are altogether proscribed. The
system by which Ireland has long been governed is equally
impolitic and unjust. The present government in that
country is tolerant and enlightened; but the Marquis Wel-
lesley has not the authority of the Legislature: he is fettered
by a higher power, and cannot do what he would wish.
The proscription that still affects the Catholics is every way
unworthy of this great country. Discord and discontent will
never erase in Ireland until these laws are blotted from
the statute -book : they carry mischief in every line. The
concession must yet be made, let the Courier write and
misrepresent as it may ; and that, too, at no distant day.
