IRISH POETRY AND HISTORY.

They have, however, thrown a colour of fraud
over Celtic poetry which is not likely to be
effaced ; for the Irish and Scotch are not even
yet likely to join their exertions for the recovery,
literal translation, and impartial illustration of
such fragments of the ancient songs of both these
nations as are still extant. The fragments
published in Ireland by Miss Brooke, in 1789,
are, indeed, commendable for retaining the form
of fragments ; for not making too confident pre-
tensions to high antiquity ; and for not attempt-
ing to remove those anachronisms which the un-
lettered bards could hardly escape. But the
translations give no picture of' bardic style ; they
relate to Irish events of former days ; but they
are written in the prevalent style of a very modern
age.
In one respect Irish history has been emi-
nently fortunate. `The chronicles of Ireland,
written in the Irish language, from the second
century to the landing of Teary Plantagenet,
have been recently published, with the fullest
evidence of their genuineness and exactness.
The Irish nation, though they are robbed of
many of their legends by this authentic publication,
are yet by it enabled to boast that they possess
genuine history several centuries more ancient
than any other European nation possesses in its
present spoken language ; they have exchanged
their legendary antiquity for historical fame. In-
deed, no other nation possesses any monummt
of its literature, in its present spoken language,
which goes back within several centuries of the
beginning of these chronicles. The ancient date
of the MSS. concurs with the same internal
proof as in the Saxon Chronicle to supp •
ort the
truth of the outline of their narrative ; they are
edited by the learned and upright Dr. Charles
O'Connor, the lineal descendent of Roderic
O'Connor, King paramount of Ireland at the
time of the Anglo-Norman invasion. Dr. O'Con-
nor lived only to complete this monument of the
literature of his country, of which his forefathers
were the last native and independent rulers.—

TUESDAY EVENING}, JULY 97, 1880.

His MAJESTY, accompanied by his usual
royal and illustrious party, proceeded this morn-
ing to Woolwich, where he will review the
Artillery, &c., stationed there.

Despatches have been received at the Colonial
Office this morning, from the Hon. F. PON-
SONBY, the Governor of Malta, and General Sir
G. DON, the Lieutenant. Governor of Gibraltar.

We have received by the Express from Paris
the Gazette de France dated yesterday, and
the other Paris Papers and letters of Sunday :

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

Telegraphic Despatch from the Maritime Prefect to the

Minister of Marine.

" Toulon, July 23, Eight A.M.

" The Marango, man of war, which left Algiers on the
16th, has just arrived with 15 millions, two of which
proceed from the French treasury, and thirteen from the
treasury of the Regency of Algiers. These 13 millions
consist of gold and silver bars and gold coin."

GENERAL DI BOURMONT TO Tilt PEINCI Dt POLIGNAC.
" At the Citsaubs, July 11.
" Prince,—The Dey has changed his mind respecting
the place of his retreat, and has expressed a wish to be
conveyed to Naples. I bve thought it my duty to accede
to hie demand. If there is no lazaretto at Naples, he will
perform quarantine at Mahon ; 110 persons will embark
with him. The Dey appears happy in having seen such an
issue of a crisis, the solution of which seemed to threaten
to be fatal to him.
The embarkation of the unmarried soldiers of the militia
began to-day, 1,300 are on board, each man received five
Spanish piastre,. This sum is equal to two months' pay.
They expressed on receiving it the deepest gratitude.
They were afraid of ill treatment, several of the married
militiamen would not avail themselves of the liberty
granted them to remain at Algiers. They feel that
the hatred of the Moors and the Jews would render
their situation unpleasing. A Municipal Commis-
sion has been installed ; among those who coin-
pose it are some enlightened men. They accept with joy
the part which they are to take in the administration of
their country, and confidence increases daily. To-day
the markets have been abundantly supplied, and the prices
of provisions are much lower. Some vessels laden with
provisions have just entered the port. In future the army
will be supplied through this channel. For some days
longer, however, supplies will be sent from Sidi Ferruch
to Algiers: they may now proceed without escort, for not
a single armed Arab is seen on the road. The dysentery
continues, but without being accompanied by alarming
symptoms. The repose which the troops are now enjoying
will improve their health. By advice of the Council of
Health, the daily allowance of wine and rice fur the army
has been doubled.

(Signed) " Count DE BOURMONT."
GENERAL DI BOURSIONT TO THE ranicit POLIGNAC.
" At the Cam* July
_l3.

" Since the taking of Algiers not a guu has been fired in
the country occupied by the French troops. The Arabs,
whose armed bands infested the country, and constantly
harassed our columns, have resumed their pacific habit..
Every day we see them in crowds, driving their beasts of
burden, laden with provisions, towards the town or our
camps. They often leave, under the protection of our
soldiers, till the following day, what they are not able to
sell. Althoagh the prices of most articles of consumption
are not so high as in France, they are still higher than in
ordinary times. Corn and meat are abundant, and soon
there will be nothing wanted from France for the army
but wine. The Bey of Tittery has just sent us 1,200 bul-
lock.. The vessels on board of which the lley and the
militia embarked have sailed. This event has set at rest
the fears of the Moors. The Bey of Constantine
remained some days with the wreck of his army,
at about five days' march from Algiers, exposed
to the musketry of the Arabs ; he has been forced
lo draw nearer to the chef town of his province. The
sanitary state of the army is still the same. The cases of
dysentery are numerous, but they are rarely attended with
fever. No acute disease has made its appearance. Pre-
cautions have been taken against the communication of the
army with countries suspected of being liable to the
plague. In the port of Algiers a bureeu of health has
been established, to which trading vessels, on arriving, are
to send their paper., and which will deliver others to those
which are sailing for Europe. Two members of the
Board of Health of Marseilles have the direction of this esta-
blishment. Yesterday and to-day, I have reviewed the
troops; they are iu as fine order as at the commencement
of the campaign. Notwithstanding the length of the pas-
sage, and the active service in which the artillery are em-
ployed immediately after the landing was effected, its
horses are in excellent condition ; a small number only
have been lost. The officers of that corps attend to the
minor object of their duty with as much diligence as they
displayed courage on the field of battle. I have the
honour, &c.

(Signed) " Count DE BOURMONT."

yesterday in the evening, and yesterday Captain Lettre set

send off one of the vessels armed en flute with thirteen
millions, proceeding from the treasury at Algiers, and two
millions proceeding from France, and which were in
deposit on board several vessels of the squadron.
The rest will be forwarded in succession. The
removal of the supplies from Sidi Ferruch to Al-
giers, and of the materiel of the Artillery and En-
gineer corps to France, in in progress. A great number of
the smaller vessels are employed for that purpose. A
commission has inspected the vessels in the port. A rough
statement, however, because their confined situation
allow, of nothing more having been drawn up. I will
endeavour to rig some of the light vessels and semi them to
Toulon, where they may be useful. As to larger vessels,
frigate and a sloop have been condemned.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Sunday
evening
‘4 The Chamber will raw on the 3d of Aquas, anti the

Xing will deliver the speech is perm. The Mlalettrlallsta
expect moderation on the part of the Chamber at the
outset, and the Ministers declare themselves determined to
act in a similar manner..-to present merely the budget,
and some projects of law, not calculated to excite party
spirit, and to allow the Chamber to go on its own way.—.
If it concurs with them, so much the better ; if not, they
will consider that they have an additional pretext for taking
strong measures when the Session shall be closed. This
is, in a few words,:the state of things at the present moment."
The Journal du Commerce states, "It is asserted
that the Ministry, finding itself pressed very sharply by
the questions of the English Ministry, has suddenly
changed the scene of the negotiations to which the con-
quest of Algiers was likely to give rise. The fate of the
Regency is 110 W to lie decided at Constantinople. Offers
would be made to the Porte, in order to allow it to have
a share in the treasuries of the Dey, which might serve to
pay the contribution due to Russia, on condition that the
Porte will acknowledge the sovereignty of France over
Algiers and Tunis. In case of a refusal we shall keep
Algiers by right of conquest."
The followingextract is from the Semaphore Some
persons pretend that a brigade of our army has been sent
to Oran. The Aviso announces that the Vice-Admiral
Rosamel has sailed for that port, having on board 1,500
men whom he is to land there."

Yesterday 150 transport vessels were discharged. It is
said that the second division of the army has embarked to
return to France. An English schooner is said to have
been stopped by our squadron as it was coining out of
Algiers laden with treasure belonging to the Dey.
The Constitutionnel of this morning says, "At the
Council of Ministers held on Wednesday last, it was de-
cided, we hear, that 87 persons of elevated rank should be
dismissed from their offices, and the next day Ministerial
ordinances were accordingly sent off to the departments.
Among the most distinguished is mentioned the Duke de
Choiseul, as member of the Council-General of the De-
partment of the Vorges."
Extract from a private letter of the 19th instant fron►
Frankfort :—" Letters of May 29, from Tiflis, mention
serious disturbances in the Pinball° of Emeroum. A great
number of Turkish soldiers dismissed from the service bad
made their appearance in the vicinity of the town, and
committed atrocious excesses. The health of General
Paskewitch-Eriwansky having suffered greatly in the late
campaigns, it is thought that he will return to Russia."

By the Mail which arrived this morning, we
have received German Papers. The following

are extracts :

FIIONTUCRS OF &AVIA, JULY 15.—1 f we may be-
lieve the accounts from Bosnia, the Grand Vizier has been
obliged to retreat before the strong corps of the insurgents,
and to wait for further reinforcements which he is to re-
ceive from Macedonia. Great dissatisfaction is said to
prevail in the corps of the Seraskier, and even the Pachas
shew no great willingness in this critical moment. But
as soon as the reinforcements are come, Redschid Pacha
will certainly act on the offensive, and exert himself to
the utmost to put down the insurrection. Though the
Grand Vizier was not fortunate in the late cam-
paigns against the Russians, he possesses many of the
qualities of a good soldier, and is superior in talents to
all the other Turkish Generals. As be is perfectly well
acquainted with the country, the resources, and the in-
habitants of the theatre of war, and is highly esteemed
by the richer classes, the restoration of tranquillity will
greatly depend on the success of an engagement which
cannot poss►bly he long delayed. It must be ob-
served that as the communications from Bosnia are at
this time frequently in arrear, and in general not
duly authenticated, as in the present instance, we cannot
discover from them either the time of the alleged retreat
of the Grand Vizier, or the place from which, or in what
direction, be retreated. There is however no doubt that
the state of affairs in Albania is very critical, and that
there is much reason to fear for the tranquillity of Bosnia.
It is said that Prince Milosch has sent an envoy to Con-
stantinople to complain of the delay in the corporation of
the six districts. The delay is probably less swing to the
Porte than to its Commissioner, and to the Servian agents
themselves, who have raised a thousand difficulties for
their own personal advantage.
STurronan, JULY 18.--According to the Neckar
Gazette, it it generally believed in Germany that Prince
Paul, of Wurtentberg, is destined for the throne of Greece,
and that he will prepare to set out for that country im-
mediately after his return from London is Paris. It adds
that the Prince will have, by means of a loan, considerable
pecuniary resources, and that this event would be of great
importance to Germany, as it would diminish the emigra-
tions from Germany to North and South America.
FRANKFORT, JULY l9.—Exchange on London, Two
months 1511.

When an Address was lately voted to his
MAJESTY, on his accession, by the Society for
Propagating Christian Knowledge, an amend-
ment was moved to the effect, " That the So-
ciety considered the keeping the Sabbath-day
holy, as of the utmost importance to the interests
of the Christian Religion ; that they regretted
his MAJESTY had been so ill-advised as to give
a public dinner on the Sabbath which they
viewed as a desecration of that day, and.hoped
that his MAJESTY would not in future sanction
by his example so reprehensible a practice." On
this amendment being put, the Primate of all
England moved the previous question, and the
Metropolitan did not oppose that motion !
We would not intentionally speak with irre-
verence on any subject connected with religion,
but we may perhaps, without scandal or offence,.
be permitted to enquire, whether in this age of
toleration, when all sects are free to form and
follow their own opinions and modes of worship,
any persons should presume to interfere with the
way in which different sectarians may think it
right to observe the Sabbath, any more than with
any other point of their faith,—always pre-
mising, that the mode of such observance does
not involve the breach of any moral principle ?
Does not that embrace all that the public inte-
rest requires, or is ever likely to be practically
enforced by any law that can be framed upon
the subject ? If one sect considers that the
most grateful homage on the Sabbath, for the
countless benefits bestowed on man, is a con-
tented mind, and a rational enjoyment of the
bounties bestowed by Providence, ought persons
who happen to hold different opinions, to neglect
the duties imposed by their own creeds, to offer
them annoyance ? If another sect considers
that the Sabbath ought to be observed as a day
of penance, ought they to be disturbed by those
of another faith in such observance ?—and if any
think it right not to dine, ought they not to be
allowed to fast in peace ? If there be persons
who feel too indifferent on religious subjects, are
not their numbers in England happily but few ?
And are there not some Tartufies and Cant-
wells in modern times, who endued with no
really religious feeling, seek to acquire import-
ance, or profit, by meddling with the creed or
conduct of their neighbours ?
To the latter,—if there be any such—we re-
commend a careful perusal of that volume, which
so sublimely inculcates the doctrines they pro-
fess, but do not always practice ; in which they
will find it written--" Take the mote out of
thine own eye, before thou attempt to take the
beam out of thy brother's eye."

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
His Honour the Vicz-CirANcsimo& took motions to-
day.

' . DI SICAUVOIR V. RHODES.
Mr. Ktrtairr applied for an order in this case, com-
pelling the defendant to pay the sum of 11,0001., the ba-
lance found by the Master to be due from Mr. Rhodes, into
Gait; •
Mr. PIM thought, as exceptions had been taken to the
Master's report, the best course to adopt would be to let
guile exceptions be heard in the first instance.
- Mr. KNIGHT observed that the exceptions had nothing
to do with the present motion, the object of which, he
trusted, the Court would think it ought to accede to.
The. Vics-CtraNcruon considered it would be the
belt to appoint an early day for hearing the exceptions.
After some discussion it was agreed that the arguments
on the exceptions should take place on Thursday next,
subject, howeier, to any application by Mr. Pepys to
have the matter proceeded with at any future time.
