The Court of desatiun has this day pronounced
judgment its r cave. which, if public rumour may
be believed, may hereafter be thought worthy of
being classed with !hove of Colas. Siriren, Lester-
gum and so many other innocent victims of ap-

Monica Jacciset, widow Oihon, belongs to one
of the most respectable families of the drreledisse-
meet de Lisieux. This family has always lived
without slain and 'pullout reproach: it lies pro.

number of defeadees of the State.
Monica was brought up in vile principles of reli-
gion and of good murals, and she eudeavoured to
model her own life after the best patterns of her
paternal mansion. At the age of eighteen (in the
year 1817), she was placed es a boarder in the con-
vent of the ladies, de Bon Sativessr. at Caen, iu
the department of Calvados. The happitiers sire

and retirement. determined leer to dedicate herself
to the inonavtic stale; but her father, who knew

clared of his owls authority and upon his honour

that the original Address was carried, aye, 100 to 1,

AVhy should Sir RICHARD STEELE be expected to
listen to speeches when he had bayonets at his
command ? What arguments could be more cows
wincing ? Bayonets are good practical reasoniogo•
which no theories, however wild, can possibly re-
sist. It war an• excellent joke for Louts XIS'. to
stamp upon his cannon the words " Ultima ratio
Regulus," but the ambitious KING who appealed
to his artillery in the Tait resort, was far excweded
by Sir RICHARD STEELE, who brings hie hayooets
into action on the very first opportunity. Thi.,
however, is but a continuance of the old system
under *lnch Ireland has ton long laboured, but
which it was earnestly hoped should have closed
with the Legislative Union. Ireland has Tong
been amused with the semblance of the English
constitution, and her people have often been
taunted most unjustly with not having turned
this blessiug of freedom to the same account thst
it has produced among us. There is sit ex-
traordinary similarity between the present cir-
cumstances of this country and those of Ire-
land previous to the overthrow of her independent
Legislature, audit rests with the people to consider
how far such an unhappy coincidence might have
beets effected by the presence of Lord CASTLE-
REAGH in the Cabinet. The advocate and pro-
moter of a military government io Ireland cannot
be a safe Minister for the constitutional Monarch
of Great Britain.

A Treasury Journal of last evening sir —" .A
report prevailed iu the City this inn ig of the
death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, father to
Vircouiit CASTLEREAGH, and speculation was, of
course, busy, as to the ministerial changes which
such an trent would he likely to produce. We
are happy to be enabled to state that there is no
truth in the rumour."—The Marquis is ill his 82d
year, au age which but few are destined to surcre
lung. Why the rumour of his death should have
tendered speculation busy its the City, we do not
understand. Ile has Ito Eagli.h title, and has a
seat in the House of Lords only as a Representative
Peer of Ireland. In succeeding to his titles, Lord
C•STLERNAGH would not succeed to his seat in the
Legislative body. As a Marquis, he would remain
eligible to a sent in the House of Commons, on
the same groom' as any other Irish Peer. The
Ertl+ of C•RHASIPTON. mud SEFTON Slid Lord
DUN•LLEY, all Irish Peers, are Members of the
House of Commons as representatives of English
boroughs. The sdvancement, therefore, of Lord
CASTLEREAGH to the Peerage would mot necessarily
induce any unsii%tertal changes.
