would you not have, in this town of Wicklow, safe docks
to induce vessels to seek your harbour in commerce ; and
would not your merchants land their bales on good and
commodious quays? On the subject of tithes, much had
been already said, but he could not avoid pointing out to
their attention language which had been used with respect
to the Irish peopl by the upholders of that impost.—
(Hear, hear.) A Conservative dinner had lately taken
place at Warrington, and the flag that was raised to
give notice of it was elevated from the steeple of the
church, as if to endear the people the more to it and its
ministers.--(Cheers.) At the dinner Lord Skelmersdale,
Sir T. Fremantle, and Mr. Wilkins, a lawyer, were pre-
sent, yet one of the speakers, talking of the present state
of the country, said that " their miseries were the inevitable
result of her own prejudices and her own profligacy." He
(Mr. Grattan) had never before heard the Irish people
charged with profligacy, moral or political, nor could it be
borne out unless indeed against the Tories who sold the
freedom and the independence of their native land.—(Loud
cheers.) At the same dinner it was said that " the anger
of Ireland at not being admitted to equal rights was but
the peevish quarrelsomeness of children after the posses-
sions of manhood," and again we are told that our country
is " too cruel, too ignorant, and too wicked to be entrusted
with power." While such party feeling existed, it behoved
the people to proceed with caution and firmness, and their
best exertions to secure the country would be to co-operate
cordially with the General Association, a body which had
fully earned their confidence, and which, like the sea that
he saw spreading before him, increased almost impercep-
tibly till it became a giant in strength and resources. Mr.
Grattan concluded by reading the following resolution :
" That the thanks of the people of this country are due, and
are hereby given, to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland for his impartial administration of justice ; and that
an address founded on these resolutions be presented to him."
Mr. HUME seconded the resolution.

Mr. M. ELLis next proposed a vote of thanks to the
county Members, Colonel Howard and Mr. James Grattan.
The former deserved well of the men of Wicklow, for he
came from the ranks of Toryism to aid the people.-
-(Cheers.) The highest encomium he could pay Mr.
Grattan was to say that he had always been like his sire,
the immortal friend of civil and religious liberty.

Mr. A. Srms seconded this resolution, which was carried
amid the plaudits of the meeting.
Mr. JAMES GRATTAN then proposed a vote of thanks to
Lord Fitzwilliam, who returned thanks. After which the
Noble Lord said—l must now recal your attention to a
matter of business. I have read all the interesting resolu-
tions. There, however, remains one, a matter of form,
which it is necessary should be adopted by, this meeting—
namely, that a Committee be appointed to draw up a peti-
tion to his Majesty, in order that signatures may be pro-
cured to it, and that the High Sheriff be requested to
transmit it to Lord John Russell, to be laid by him before
his Majesty.
Lord FITZWILLIAM was then called to the chair, and a
vote of thanks was passed to the High Sheriff for his digni-
fied conduct in the chair, and for convening the meeting.
The HIGII SHERIFF returned thanks, and the v..,st mul-
titude retired, having first given three cheers for Lord Fitz-
william, H. Grattan, and the abolition of tithes.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

The Constitutionnel states that General Bernard had re-
luctantly accepted a seat in a Cabinet composed of men
whose character and political opinions are opposed to his
own ; that he yielded on a last appeal being made to his
denouement, and submitted to this necessity with an ill-dis-
guised resignation. The General was immediately called
into the Council, although his appointment had not yet ap-
peared in the Moniteur.

The title of Minister of Commerce, conferred by the
.Royal Ordinance on M. Martin du Nord, is, according to
the Gazelle de France, an expedient imagined to fill up
ostensibly a vacancy still existing in the Cabinet, for M.
Martin du Nord continues to evince the same reluctance
to accept of the office, and only consented to be invested
with the title on condition that he should not discharge
functions belonging thereto either in the Administration or
in the Chambers. The War Department has been divided
into two general directions, with a view to the relief of the
titular Minister, and not abuse of his devouement.
.M. Mole is still unwell, and M. Martin du Nord is se-
riously indisposed. M. Barthe was spoken of at one time
for the Department of Commerce, but the President of
the Court of Accounts is also in a bad state of health.—
Gazette de France. •

" General Bernard's devouement for the King's person
was already known," says the Impartial, " and he has
given a new proof of it, by entering through obedience, a
Cabinet whose Opinions he does not profess, and which he
knows to be already ruined in public opinion. But, in
submitting to this pis-alley, the Doctrinaire Ministry have
betrayed the measure of its discouragement. It had no
other alternative left but to dissolve itself and retire shame-
fully, or to complete itself at any price, so as to be able to
hang together until the meeting of the Chambers. They
preferred this last alternative, which insures them the ad-
vantage of remaining Ministers during at least two months.
To-day on 'Change every one spoke confidently of the Par-
liamentary discomfiture of the coterie. When the Cham-
bers assemble, the representative Government shall then
resume its natural course."

We have received private letters from the sloop La Re-
cherche, dated the 9th ult. She had not then found the
slightest trace of the unfortunate Lilloise, although she
had penetrated within the icy region of Greenland to a
depth that may be said to have been imprudent. The
Recherche had lost her cutwater, but had not become
leaky, and could, it was confidently hoped, reach home in
safety. The want of success cannot be attributed to her
commander, Captain Trehouart, who had remained con-
stantly on deck, taking only two hours rest out of the 24,
and that on a bench.—Boulogne Journal.

Extract of a letter of the 15th inst. from Toulon :
" Major-General Trezel, who is to have the command of
the military division of Bona, province of Constantine, will
proceed on Sunday by the Phare steamer to Algiers,
whence, after a Conference with Marshal Clause], he will
go to his post. The Crocodile, which arrived to-day,
brings interesting news from the north of Africa. Since
Colonel Marcy has been appointed Aga of the plain,
most of the tribes have submitted to him. He has
been able to inspire with confidence all the great per-
sonages of these countries. As soon as be was informed
of Marshal Clausel's return to Algiers he made it known
to the tribes, who hastened to send their sheiks, cadis,
&c., to congratulate him. Colonel Marcy was at the
head of these personages, whose arrival at Algiers produced
an agreeable sensation. A ball was given at Algiers, in
honour of the Marshal's return, and was very brilliant.
Some groups of Arabs made their appearance on the 7th in
the environs of the camp of the Chiffa, where General Ra-
patel arrived the day before. The enemy, who appeared
to be in observation, exchanged musketry shots with the
advanced posts, but a few companies sufficed to repulse the
natives, who were at this point 2,000 or 3,000, almost all
Hadjoutes. According to accounts from Oran, Abd-el-
Kader was at Mena, and had given orders to the tribes who
adhere to him to draw near Mascara. The Emir must
now have a great number of horsemen. Ibrahim Bey has
made a sortie from Mostaganem, and did not find any ene-
mies in the neighbourhood of that place. The markets are
deserted, or nearly so. The Neapolitan steamer Ferdinand
11., which conveyed the King home, has returned to Tou-
lon. It is believed to have come to receive some personage
that the Royal family of France will send to the King of
Naples, to terminate the arrangements relative to a mar-
riage. The name of General Gourgaud is in everybody's
mouth."—Galignanis illessenger
PARIS, SEPT. 19.—A letter from Oleron of the 15th
says :—" Messrs. Galiano and Olivan have not yet left this
place, and Count Torreno, who has just arrived, is to set
out to-day for Pau, and here, it is said, he intends to pass
the winter."
A letter from Bayonne of the 16th, explains how the
report of the interview mentioned by the Memorial Ber.
nais could be spread.
" Don Carlos, says this letter, sent from Iron an officer
to General Harispe, to request him to come and meet him
in that town. The General replied that he would not com-
ply with the wish of the Infant, as he had no instruction
from his Government."
General Cordova has left Bayonne for Paris, passing
through Bordeaux.
