RUM' OF MISR DISTRESS.

DUKE OP BUCKINGHAM'S LETTER TO LUCIUS
O'BRIEN, ES() HONORARY SECRETARY TO THE
COUNTY CL.%IIE ASSOCIATION.

" Stowe, October 27, Mt.
" SIR—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
yogir letter, enclo►ing. copy of the proceedings of the County
of Care Association, and requesting one to become ti patrol.
of it. My sttenttoo has been much turned to the subject of
it, and I am under the necessity of saying, that 1 must de-
cline belonging to it. I have found, by experietre, that,
where the industry of the lower order of Irish has beta en-
couraged, snit their comfort promoted by the individuals who
derive their property from the soil, those ends have been
much better and mute satisfactorily attained than by any
Association, however respectable. By the humanity and
ex• Mimis of my agent, air. Fishbounie, they were must com-
pletely attained upon the whole of my estate in the county
of Clore, during the extremity of thirdis/ress which afflicted
that county, without recurrence 10, or assistance Gone, any
public fund or subscription whatever; and the saute exer-
tions, on his part, will be routiuwed should the same distress
recur. With this example before my eyr a, I c•unol hut
think that what I, an absentee, was bumbled to du, through
the means of an active and Immure agent upon my estate,
could be equally, tad even berterdone by the resideut Gentry
and Clergy of the county of Clare without any Association
whatever. Nothing more is requht.te t►art a careful exam-
umlaute into the cases of individual families, which ca•
be easier, and more satisfactorily dome by the Clergy and
Gentry themselves, or their agents, than by perilous employed
by au Association, and • determination, above all, to act fur
the att•iwnent of the desired object, without say refer-
ence to religious distiractions whatever. If the resident
Gentry sad Clergy were thus to act themselves., sod the ob.
mitera *ere to do the sameliy their agents, 1 must take the
liberty of saying, I think • better knowledge might be there-
by obtained of the character sad dtspo►itions of she tenantry

established, to the advantage of both, sad to the happiness
of the country. Rs, su Association, however well conducted,
this greatest of all objects could sot be °blamed ; sad as it
is evident it can by iostivninal exertion and atteutirm, I must
prefer the latter, the advantages atteoding which I have any.

by the Resolutions which prat have enclosed. I frill south

foot have obit same object in view that I have—that of admi-
nistering to the comforts of oar industrious fellow.aubjects.
But having experienced entire success by acting on the psis-
mples laid down is this letter, ■ud being drstrous of seeing
them generally adopted, by which the lowe► orders abed he
taught to look up for the encouragement of their industry
and the promotion of their euniforis to their corn landlords,
in preference to an Association, they cannot I.e surprised at
my prefer►hrg the system I have adopted to the other which
has hero reconioneurled. In addition to what I base already
stated, I beg to add, as no iiiemisislerable inducement to to-
dividual exertwu osi the part of larolluide sod their agents,
that upon my county of Clue estate, great as the distress has
been, my resits have been paid; and my tenants hare wither

USER-01 have just read to your valusble Paper a repeti-
tion of the same paragraph that appe teed on hatorday last
in the The Drogheda Journal, relative to she sacrilegious
profanation of the Rooms Catholic parish chapel -of Alder,
perpetrated hi the 'tight of the preceding WeJoesilay. It
was bat an hone or Iwo before the .1 I came out, that I
received the drat iriformatios of that lawless act, Gum the
zealous mid exemplary P. P of ArJec, Key. Mr. Levine, who
did out mention any intention (perhaps nutbrown to him
thee) of committing it to the press, our could I since learn
who it was that did so. I have, in et:merganser, • riots au

Isuders had been preaching ii the streets of Artier, anti so

TRUSTEES FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION
OF THE POOR OF IRELAND.

On Thursday sennight there was a meeting of
the individuals who composed the above body_
The Doke of Leisster, the Most Rev. Dr. Troy, &r J.Y.
James, Rev. Dr. Pomeroy, H. Grattan, Thomas Ellis, M.P.
Colonel Gore, Calomel Finlay, Mr. J. D. Latuuchr, Mr.
Leader, Mr. Disney, Mr O'Conuisr, Mr. Siuger, and Ike
Assistant-Serrelary, G. F. Dalton.

Mr. O'CONNOR stated the funds to be 154501.
in Bank Stock, •nd 8001. in money and subscrip.
tiotts.

A number of letters were laid on the table by the
Assistaot•Secrrtrn•, from different item of the
South end West of Inland. r. questing rid accord-
ing to the 7th and Bill Resolutions, and suggesting
the best mode of assisting the suanufecturas and
fisheries.

Mr. LEADER mowed. that these papers should
be referred to a Committee, and that a communi-
cation should be °prised pith the different parts of
Ireland, in order to ascertain the best mode of car..
eying ii.to t fleet the object of the Trustees.
Mr. HIRST GRATTAN recommended the Trus-
tees to take the most active ►teps to carry into el--
feet Or 7th Sod B.ll,Resolutions, and to show the fa-
cility thereof, he read a 'letter from Mrs. ItliCsrohy,
of Carrignsysra, iu the county of Cork, to wlicm
he had entrusted part of a sum of money placed at
his disposal by the London Committee. It rip-
peered that this lady, with 15/. merely, had pur-
chased 30 flax sod 20 yarn wheels; these were I nt
out to the distressed poor, ■nd in return they paid
her in thread and yarn, which was to be sold in order
to purchase further implements. This, altogether,
had given employment to mote than thirty indivi-
duals during the space of two smooths. Her letter
states—

"Thy pay me for the wheels is thread of t►eir awn spin.
using; this I intend to dispose of, and believe I shall find a
good sale fur it at the Yaru Market iu Cork. I shall by this
means be etiolated to purchase more wheels, which I will also
give away on the same terms; so that I am duiug sll iu my
;wiser to melee the money go as far av possible. I realty
think this kind ilunvtiuu has bees productive of great good,
loud seems already to have thrown a new feeling into this part
of the country ; they are all noxious to possess wheels—every
dry I receive fresh applications, which I am sorry to say I
clunot sower. May I Dow Leg of you to make interest with
those kind Meads of yours, to whom I am already PI touch
indebted, to grant me some furth. r as.isiance. We base
great need of it, I assure yuis, as this is a large and populous
district. without resident Geutry of auy desciiptiun, but our-
selves."

Mr. GRATTAN said, he mentioned this in order-
to shew how anxious the lower °filets were to pro-
cure employment, and with what ease the object of
the Trustees could he carried into effect, and thin
coarse manufacture introduced into the South tetiti
West of Irelaud. As a further corroboration., he
stated, that in the county of Wicklow, in a reboot
established by his sister, thirty children hail, in the
spaceof two montha, manufactured pryersl hundred
yards of mixed woollen sod lineu stuff.; the civilise
process, from first to last, was carried ou by these
children, and the cloth sae now about to be swot
to the West of Ireland for clothing in the In* tits-
tressed district', where he had been iufor►nrd by
some eye-witnesses that the people were almost
actually naked. Ile said the wants of the people
were still very great, it was tiecessrry that the top.
per classes who yet n.llllllll in the currsitly s4oulal
alleviate the thstrepes of the homer order's, awl osould
think them objects of relief as wt II as c‘tivittec-
ration.

The Duke of LCUISTCII wished to knots the ht.,.
proposed to be adopted by the 'Trustees, crud ex-
pressed his desire to further the object of so excel-
lent an institution. Ile could be happy to at.tti.:
at the next meeting.

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, NOVEMBER 16.

Yestertimy the firelack of a sentinel. •t the Cha-
teau de Bagatelle. went off whsle he was leaning
on it. and the ball pa.•ed through his arm. The
Coontesr de Donlan', the C nets of the &foes
de Prance. timid the greatest attention to him, and
timed him to be conveyed to the hospital in a clam
rimge belonging so the suite of the Duke of Bor.
demos.

The loon opened at Paris by the pretended Re-
gency of Urgel, which come now go so far as to
roll the Regency of Spain. has attracted the atten-
tion of the Spanish Ambassador to the Court of
France. The Duke of St. Lorenzo. recently re.
cognised in that character, has applied to M. Roo-
gemoot de Lowenberg. to ascertain whence he
derives hi* power•, and to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs to obtain redress fur the injury done to the
King of Spain.

M. de Rougemont replied, that he was only the
agent of M. Ouvrard that he would not implicate
either his name or his fortune in his loan, none of
the consequences of which, moral, pub iical, or finan-
cial, he guaranteed. As to the diplomatic part,
M. de Rougemont referred to other sources for the
explanalions required of him, and expressed him-
self, with ►eq.eet to the business, in a manner so,
little fa►•ourable, that it is surprising that lie should
have consented to become the agent. The temp..
lotion of a good consuninion deer not seem Bure
licient to justify such a tronssetion. All this, how-
eee•, shear what We ought to think of the wretched
negotiations carried ou in the name of the Regency
of Urgel. Nut one respectable man in the com-
mercial world has consented to associate Ins name
with it, still less to promote it by becoming a
guarantee. —(Courier Francais.)
(Frost the Mositeir]

The pit of Spain is now matter of specula-
tion in ull the J 04111116 ; and the discussi 111 l s into
which they enter on this subject bear too often the
impress of that spirit of error which has its source
in the coufu•ion of political principles. or of that
violence which interests hostile to order excite
amongst us.
_ . . . . . . .

The Payers of the Opposition have introduced
into the question of the intervention which it might
be competent to France to exercise in the affairs of
the ['connote, the general maxims fabricated by
that party for engaging the liassious in their cause.
Doubtless it would nut be difficult to maintain a
discus:ion on this point, which the eveuts of our
epoch have sufficiently elucidated ; but it is not by
widening the sphere of a discussion that its simpli-
fication and solution are to be obtained.
would rather be the way to render a question, sun-
ple in itself, complicated and obscure. Besides, it
is not by general questious that a particular ques-
tion should be decided. The best policy is that
which is guided, not by theories or interests of a
(miser's) kind, but by motives which have their
'mime iu the pwitive interests of the country. It is
not, therefore, our purpose here to inquire by what
principles Spoil" has been brought auto the deplo-
rable state in which she is placed ; but what is fit-
ting to be ascertained is, whether the situation of
the Spanish people does nut expose Fiance to dan-
gers of such a nature, that there is occasion on our
part—looking to the necessity and the right of self-
preservation uttsched to every notion—to employ all
the power with which Providence has favoured us
in averting those dangers. Thus, on examining the
question wider a single point of view. it resolves itself
tutu that right of peace and of war which is admitted
belong to every regular Government; and since
the right of France to maintainan army aubservation
on the frontiers of Spaiii. fur the purpose of guard-
ing against the injuries to which her dignity or bet
interests might be expooed by such a valuer. has
sieves been disputed, it cannot but appear strange
that the riled of putting +lll end to a suite of things
acknowledged to be sufficieutly daugerous to war.
rant such expensive precautions should be
tested.

Such is the point of discussion, on which the Op-
positiuu Journals hove 1101 Trot%lied to touch; but
they have doue their utsuost, with an intetstion
which it is not necessary to eliaroct vise, to @telt, for
their lessons against our its a ',outpour display, of
pacific senittnents, at,d Ito the exagavistown of the
force and weans of defence with which theylinve
hero pleased to gratify the Spanish Guvernmeut.
With frdpeel 10 the float polka. It is Veil extra-
ordwary to see a party 'finch but lesterday ezerterl
terry effort to roust the west sud the north no favour
of die Glatt., tics placing the preservivion of

metre is the drat rank or the duties sod the interest
of Governmeht.
As loth. secood, we leave it lot the patriotism or
the readers .of those Journals lo do instice to the
fear which it is endeaeoured•to mike our young
soldiers feel at the name of the Spanish militia.
Besides its being an insult to the. character of the
French nation, to hold up to it the courage of an
enemy as a reason for not engaging in war, it is
absurd to look back to the noble defence f the
Spanish people against the usurpation of Bonaparte
roe any example applicable to their present state.
There is a great difference between a nation from
which its Kings are torn by • signal violation of all
law, humus and divine, to impose upon it a unit-
. per by military conquest sad despotism, and a na-
tion in which is 'tarty, after violently poseessing itself
of power, combats to preserve that power against
whole provinces, whose laws, manners, and institu-
ti.m. it in vain endeavours to change. May it not,
on the contrary, be reasonably asked, whence comes
this o.lentatious parade of so army of 100,000 men,
all real', to march into France if we advance a step
upon Spain, when the fact is so notorious of that
Govercronit being hitherto unable to maintain its
am Inc ity against the attacks of the insurgents of the
Seo d'Utgel ?
There are, without dirt*. more reasons than one
why Frame aould reluctantly resort to the rigid
extremity of employing her arms option Spam.
So aunty ties unite the two nations, so many po-
litical interests render that union necessary to their
common prosperity, that the alliance newer could
be broken except in consequence of a necessity. ins-

Beside', however slight may be the danger whit b
the chances of such a war present to France, it
would be • criminal levity to overlook the melan-
choly and afflicting consequences which so serious
a determination might have for those who should be
compelled to adopt it. Who can doubt that • state
of war would compromise a great number of public
and private interests involved is oar pacific relations
with Swain ? And, to say nothing of those preju-
dices which it would be so gratifying to spare, who
can coolly contemplate the effusion of blood, and
the terrible disasters which iicconspony the most
successful military expeditious? But is it not al-
ways on serious grounds that a state of peace is
abandoned fur a state of war? And, after all, is
not this the only question to be decided by a so-
ciety, whether greater interests will not be compro-
mised by avoiding, than by =skin was?
France, therefore, has reasons for acting with
discretion in this affair which must be felt by all
prudent and enlightened men. With respect to
those reasons which the Opposition Papers wish to
draw from the pretended power of the Constitu-
tional party, they are, as 111111 been already observed,
of little value. Moreover, happy are the French
,people in having, in the wisdom and love of their
King. and in the bonds of kindred and ancient
amity which unite the Houses of France and Spain, ~
far more powerful motives for coufidence and se-
curity than can be found in the dissertations of the
spirit of forty and the menaces of malevolence.
NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.

We learn by letters arrived this eveniug from
Puscerdu, that the Regency has removed to that
towu the seat of the GOrerilMilt. It is Probable ,
that this resolution has bees taken in consequence ,
of the movement of the army of Mina, who has
long sought to surround the Seu d'Urgel. We
are anzious to affirm. however. that no military
event gave rise to the change which we stmounce.
Urgel has not been abandoned by the Army of the
Faith. and this fortress has not even been threatened
by the Constitutionalista—(Qaored its the Journal

nothing is more easy according to him, than to pass

Tranquillity appears to be perfectly restored in
the long-disturbed districts of the South and West
of lueland. This happy change is attributed to the
judicious mariner in winch the laws have been car-

■re now considered sufficient to repress any dispo.
sitiun to farther outrage nn the part of the person-

are severely censured by the liberal and independeut
part of the public Press. in which they are ascribed
to the discontent of the Orange party, excited by
the discouragement which they have experienced
under the present Government. A petition, pre-
pared by persons of that description, is now, in
