SlR—That the fate of the expedition to Margaritia should
have excited much politic interest cannot he matter of snr-
pl i.e any person. The sympathy of the Irish nation was,
and is, lei tingly alive to the situ:dime sad sufferings of the
intio,,T.nts or spith.t. America— was there a mousey'
so ill gut erned—every maxim of political economy was'
directly reversed in the administration of !Inks. To be a

mean.—knowledge was excluded lest it should fithiiith the
inclination to be free—an horrible Inquisition extingdiebed,,

Au odious and foreign despotism trampled on the
and blasted the fairest psuslnctions of the soil. The

In the glorious contest fur liberty, which has continued in
South America during 'several years, the attention of Ire-
land 1114 chiefly heen lewd to the quarter formerly marg.
nised by the name of the Spanish Main, now better hostels
by the deacriptinu of the Provinces of Venezuela. The pro.
piiiquity of that district rendered na more familiar with its
stitleriags and sirrigeles. The horrible barbarities of the
sanguinary Morino filled even the cold and hidiffereat with
disgust mid rmrentinetst, whilst they excited the most power-
fill indignation in the mind of every friend to humanity and
justice. The more frequent communicationsfrom Venezuela,
through the West India Islands, and by means of the North
American Press, made us, as it were, pretaters of the
glorious, though rifle's unsuccessful streg‘les of the Patriots,
and of the continued and unrelenting cruelty of the Spisai-
arils. Is it thee to be wondered that such a pooplti as the Irish

to illuminate and to warm through that chilly gloom which
the Huly Allisuce is spreading so fast and so thick over the
nations of Europe.
- -

The feelings of Ireland were thus powerfully roused by
the South American contest, when Genies, D'Everenx first
raised the standard of Vent-angle amongst es. It was eel
then, as it is now, illegal to raise troops in the cause of
South American liberty. Nothing could exceed the alacrity
with which the youth of Ireland rushed to join him. He
received the countenance and support of men of all sects
and pieties. The distinctions which, either through folly or
wickedness, divide and weaken Ireland, were forgotten ; the
Protestant sod the Catholic equally shared in the enthusiasm
—the Peer nod the pe.niant equally participated iu the prayer
fur success.
I have seldom seen a man better suited to such circum-
stances than General D'Evereux I knew him since his first
return to Ireland, and fur several months before he thought
of rejoining the Patriot service; I sieve, iu my life met with
a more open-hearted, kindly, g 4, candid disposition •
I like a man who believes in the existeuce of patriotism and
virtue. D'Everesx did so ; there was out about him any
taint of selfishness or design. I may be mistaken—l know
I may—but I cannot bring myself to believe that D'Evereux
is either treacherous or untrue; from my soul l am
convinced that he is honourable, trust-worthy, and just.
A thousand unforeseen causes may cast • shade upon
him ; but I fondly and fully believe that he will emerge pure
and miasillied, and that his integrity and honour will, like
gold tried in the fire, appear only the more clear and bright
front the present obscurity. •
But, although I have the fullest confidence in the honour
of General D'Evereux—altbough I du nut see what possible
motive he could have fur deceptiou—although I feel that if
lie slid wilfully deceive he would not be so foolish as to re-
maim in London, to meet the certain disclosure of his
treachery—altkungli I rely on the native generosity and
goudaess of his heart, yet I t expert, and du not
wish, that any man should give up his own judgment to say
opinion. I confess the: there are many Nets which require
explanation.— Explanutiow, immediate, cony fete, tatilee.

believing him, as I 110, to be an honourahle mail, most be
must anxious fur this explanation. Nu escape will answer
—too evasion will satisfy—no weeny can be sanctioned—no
delay can be permitted. The facts which are before the
public are too many, too important, and too intent, to be
trifled with; and I am persuades! I am doing the best eel-
vice possible to General D'Everenx, as 1 certainly am to
the cause of liberty, by demanding as immediate and fell

explanation.
This explanation cannot be denied or deferred. A aim-
ber of gallant youths have returned frog► klargaritta in dis-
appointment and disgust. It is as weak as it is wicked to
pretend that they were affrighted by danger—they are brave,
and went expressly to court danger. It is foolish to say
that they were deterred by hardships uad privations—they
went prepared to meet hardships and to endure privations.
No no I.—ao man can be permitted I. justify himself by
ealtsumiallag the generous sad brave youths who base re-
r turned. Ireland is fallen, it is tree, aarkevil days are spun
her; but it would be se crimsomal as It world be stupid. to

aMine the accounts awl empenditnres—place the blame wliere
it.ought tie lie horse; and, above all thiogs, amid heroes all
things, ascertain whist compensation can be procured fat
the persons who have suffered in or by the late expedition. -
For these purposes it would be quite necessary to open an
immediate communication with General D'Evereisx, and
also with the Vent-go:elan Deputies now in 1.4804011. It world
also be right to send forward Agent. to Angostura. in such a
manner as nut to violate any existing law, but who should

quainted with the Spanish language, ready to volunteer their
services. Let every thing be thug investigated, and I will

STATE UP lIIELeLVD.

[From The Dublin Evening Pose, January IS]

It is with the deepest regret we hive this day to
lay before our read.ra a record of outrages, crimes,
and murders, committed in v ‘rioua part,' of the
island, in the North and South. together with an
account of the tomultuary spirit which appears to
prevail in the midland counties.
A murder hag been committed in Nlonterlony.
county of Tyrone, another in the county of
Derry, and a third at Castlereagh, county of Down.
Several robberies have also occurred, but we do not
care to anticipate the horror and disgust with which
the reader cannot fail to peruse the particulars,
which we subjoin.
We insert also a set of Resolutions ;missed at Par.
sonstown, King's County, the Earl of Bosse in the
Chair, by which it appears, that the condition of
that part of the kingdom is far from being tranquil.
In the counties 'of Tipperary and Kilkenny,
gangs seem to be origauistd, and a set of ruffians,
■s will he seen from our extinct., have attempted
to rub the mail coach. in which they weie foiled
by the gallantry of the guard.
We have no 'recounts this day from the West of
Ireland, though we had reason to expect some; we
are, therefore, unable to add any particulars to the
brief notice published on Tuesday. relative to the
atrocious raid-day murder of Mr. Browne, an event,
resembling, a► it dues, the catastrophe of the late
Mr. Baker, of Tipperary, and which has thrown the
whole county of Galway into consternation.
There are three wags of regarding these melts*.
choly occurrences: the one, as a sort of political
confederacy in crime, spreading throughout the
kingdom in every direction—the other. as merely
disconnected and solitary symptoms of a state of
society, overstocked with population, and
ill-
instructed in their relative duties—the third, no
mere robberies and murders. having no source
deeper than the depravity of the individuals con-
certied iu their perpetration.
. .

Perhaps tt will be found that each of these causes
is at work. The robberies of arms that have pre-
vailed within the last three or four months, particu-
larly in the South of Ireland; the disturbed spirit
which has broken out its the centre of the kingdom,
and to counteract which associations hove been en-
tered into by the gentry, show, we will not any, a
communion or correspondence between the parties,
but certainly a predisposing tendency to a state
which cannot be contemplated without dismay.
With regard to the atrocities that have been com-
mitted in the North and West, and particularly with
respect to the warder of Mr. Browne, the laws, we
hope, will he found sufficient to detect and punish
the perpetrators. But we cannot too forcibly im-
press on the gentry in every part of Ireland the ne-
cessity of &Associating, and the paramount necessity of
remaining on their estates. It may be an unplea-
sant duty—but it is a duty that must be performed,
if they would preserve their property. 'rise Duke
of Leinster furnishes a noble example of what a resi-
dent landlord should be. If his Grace's example
were generally followed, we shorl,4 trot have the

Professor Oken Itas made in his hit some re-

we select the following:—
