Lct them do this, and then yon declare yourself rearl'
to aid in the perfect reconciliation of the people with
the Ministry." Mr. CRAWFORD here puts forth a
mere hypothesis, and then reasons on it as if it were
an admitted fact. What right has he to accuse Mr,
O'CONNELL of having given in his adhesion to the
MELBOURNE Cabinet, " on the simple ground of the
disposal of patronage ?" What proof—nay, what
shadow of proof—has he in justification of such a
charge ? If Mr. O'CONNELL has of late thought it
incumbent on him to support Ministers, he has done so
on these plain grounds—viz., that he found in them
a greater disposition to advance the real interests of
Ireland than in any Ministry that ever wielded power.
They have brought forward measures recommended by
intelligence and liberality ; they have done their ut-
most to put an end to the obnoxious ascendancy of
that faction which has so long been the curse of the sis-
ter country, and to act towards it on the sound prin-
ciple of equal justice ; and, above all, they have pro-
moted men to high official situations who have long
been in full possession of the esteem and confidence of
their fellow-countrymen. Finding Ministers acting in
this impartial and enlightened manner towards Ireland,
and braving in her cause the frowns of a Court, and
the directest and most rancorous hostility of the
upper branch of the Legislature, what could Mr.
O'CONNELL do but support them—and support them
to the utmost extent of his ability ? He cared nothing
for them as Whigs—indeed as such, he imagined him-
self bound to view them with distrust—but regarded
them solely as friends to the best interests of his coun-
try, whom it was his bounden duty, therefore, as a pa-
triot to assist with all his energies. As for the " dis-
posal of patronage," which Mr. SHARMAN CRAW-
FORD thinks so highly improper, there is not the
slightest foundation for any such charge ; for the indi-
viduals promoted, were not so much the personal
friends of O'CONNELL as the friends of Ireland ; this
was their great recommendation, and the. advantages
of their promotion are already being felt through-
out the sister country. We regret to find an able
and experienced man like Mr. CRAWFORD thus play-
ing the game of the Tories, by joining in their factious
clamour against O'CONNELL and the Ministers ; and
endeavouring to make it appear that the two parties
have entered into an interested compact with each other,
which cannot but be injurious to the interests of Ireland.
When Ministers cease to do their best for the sister-
country, yet nevertheless still receive the undiminished
support of O'CONNELL, then it will be quite time
enough for Mr. CRAWFORD to enter his most earnest
protest against their conduct ; but till then we think
he would do wisely to refrain from condemning them.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday con-
tain no domestic news of any political or general in-
terest. France happily enjoys at this moment the most
profound social and political tranquillity. The Papers
now and then throw out surmises about the dissolution
of the Chambers, but it is evident from their tone that
the question is one in which the people out of doors
take no interest. The promise of an abundant harvest
suffered no blight up to the date of these Journals,
and the people were too eager to enjoy the blessings by
which they were surrounded, to give a thought to the
troubles of the rest of the world. As for the news
from Spain, the substance of it will be all found
in another part of our columns. Though more
than usually interesting, it was heard wiPit an apathy
bordering on indifference in the French capital. The
advices from Italy contained in these journals will be
found under that head in another part of The Sun.

The Carlist correspondent of a Tory Contemporary
writes from Mirambel (Lower Arragon), under date
of the 4th inst., that Don CARLOS, after crossing
the Ebro, sent the Duke of MEDINA SIDONIA
to St. Petersburg, Count ARCOS to Turin and
Vienna, and Count de MONASTERIO to Berlin and
the Hague, to announce to these Courts his approach
to the capital, and to request financial aid. Surely
this fact ought to rouse the liberal spirit of the
French Government. France cannot desire that the
Spanish contest should lead to a general war between
the liberal and despotical Governments of Europe.
The following are extracts from the French Journals :

FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.—On the 14th inst. three batta-
lions of infantry and 60 cavalry of the Queen's troops left
Lodosa, and marched towards Soria, in pursuit of Don
Basilio Garcia and the Junta of Castile.

It is affirmed that a new expedition, of three battalions
and 100 horse, which is preparing in the environs of Los
Arcos, is going to enter Castile.—Sentinelle des Pyrenees.
A letter from Samosierra, of the 14th, says that the
column of Soria has compelled the Carlist Junta and its
escort to retrograde, and to shut itself up in the Sierra.—
Sentinelle des Pyrenees.
The same Journal, after mentioning the arrival of Gen.
Maya at Bayonne, observes that M. Galiano is at Pau,
and that the Duke de Rivas has arrived at Cadiz.

The following news has been received from Bilboa :
" The Madrid mail, by way of Santander, has not ar-
rived ; this last town being surrounded by the rebels, and
the communication with the capital cut off. The rebels
had laid siege to Castro, three leagues from Portugalette
the firing of cannon was heard in that direction.
" General San Miguel had sent several regiments to
Santander, which were conveyed by English vessels ; but the
Commander of the allied squadron has refused to take on
board General San Miguel himself, who had been obliged
to go to Santander by an occasional vessel. The reason
for this refusal is not understood."—Memorial Bordelais.
