LONDON, FRIDAY, Jcys 18, 1824.

We insert, to-day, some further extracts from the First
Report on the Districts in Ireland, which are subjected to
the provisions of the Insurrection Act. It is the opinion
of many that, without the continuance of this Act, there
is no hope of tranquility to Ireland ; while others are of
opinion, that it can never be effected through this means,
mul that this desirable object must be sought through
other, and very different, measures. The two opinion!,
however, arc perfectly consistent, for they both imply that
the Insurrection Act alone can never put an end to the
disturbances which agitate the districts over which it ex-
tends : and in this we perfectly concur. We consider its
continuance as essential omen!' putting down the medi-
tated mischiefs of those leaders try whom the peasantry in
these parts arc inflamed and Misled. but were it enacted is
it would never do more 'than repress the open
display of disaffection : it nosy prevent its breaking out in
violowe and bloodshed ; but the general principles of good
government, and their practical application, can algae pro-
duce that spirit of faithful and willing obedience to the
laws, and that heart-felt attachment to the Btate and its
rulers, which is the true foundation of the prosperity of
a country. It is impossible to find a substitute for these in
the watchfulness of a police, or in the act city of per.il

The (Altman (Mr. I'OURTENAY) said, that would be tha

Mr. CAN:UM! said, that when • ease could be made out, it
would be tints enough to movide compensation.
Alter a few words Irma Mr. Wyssx and Mr. BwtouT, the Bill
wee reported without amendment, and ordered to be read • third
time this day.
