observing, in a pr;:liminary communication to the.
Editor of the Dill)lin Pilot, " I will more fully
dCvelope my plan in the letter I promise to send you on
Monday. It will include the organization of the Ge-
neral Association of Ireland.' The objects of that
Association will be two-fold ; first, to procure by law
a complete Municipal Reform in Ireland, on as large
and efrectual a basis as that originally proposed by
the Ministry ; and, secondly, to procure by law such a
settlement of the Tithe Question as hail be satisfactory
to the people of Ireland. The Association to be dis-
solved as soon as both these objects are attained, .and
to be supported in the mean time by an Irish rent',
on the same principle as the Catholic rent." -No
doubt their Lordships will ha wondrously disgusted
with this comprehensive plan of agitation, which will
be carried into immediate execution throughout Ire-
land ; hut if they will only take the trouble to reflect
for one single instant, they will see that they them •
selves have laid the train, and prepared all
the materials of combustion. Had they pursued
an equitable course of policy towards Ireland,
not a syllable should we have heard about
agitation. There would have been good-will where
there is now discontent—peace where there is now
hostility. And by Whom will the effect of this agita-
tion be most acutely felt ? On whom will it fall with
the most crushing severity ? On the heads of those
who invoked the Spirit—on their Lordships them-
. selves A fool, says the old proverb, can raise the
Devil', but it requires all the wit of a SOLOMON
to allay him ; and their Lordships being by no
means richly gifted in this respect, it follows as a
necessary consequence that • the Spirit they have
called up, will play them the same ugly trick
that ASIITA ROTH played MANFRED. Meantime,
we congratulate Ireland on the determination she
has come to in this crisis of her fate. It is worthy of
a frank, brave, and sensitive nation, who have received
the grossest affront at the hands of a set of bigots, who
know nothing of her but what they gather from the
columns of a Tory journal; and who, with the little-
ness peculiar to their nature, make a point of
swallowing as Gospel-truth every thing that is said or
written to her disadvantage.

The Paper Duties Reduction Bill passed the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons last night. We
thank the Government for the, willingness which it
thus shows to redeem its pledges on the Paper
question ; but how is it that equal anxiety is not evinced
in bringing forward the Bill or Bills for reducing the
Stamp Duty? Surely the latter is the more important, and
therefore should have been allowed to take precedence
of e, comparatively speaking, very secondary measure.
We have waited patiently for a long time. With every
facility of making our complaints known, and felt, we
have hitherto remained silent, in the expectation that
the Government would not lose a moment in redeeming
its pledges to us and the country. Nor do we com-
plain now ; we only trust that no time will be lost in
bringing forward a measure prayed for by the country,
and necessary to the future existence of a free Go-
vernment in England.

We direct the attention of our readers and the
public generally to a very excellent letter from the
Hon. Member for Greenock, on the subject of Post-
office Reform, which will be found in another column.
It must have been highly gratifying to Mr. WALLACE
to receive the congratulations of the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER and the House generally the other
evening, when Mr. SPRING RICE announced the in-
tention of the Government of introducing the Bills
for regulating an Establishment, in the reform of which
Mr. WALLACE had taken such a deep interest.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have
been received. The following extracts contain the
only news they bring worth notice :

PARIS, JULY 4.—Notwithstanding the ordinance of the
President of the Court of Peers, which fixed Thursday, the
7th of this month for the opening of the proceedings in the
affair of Alibeaud, it is, however, possible that the proceed-
ings will not commence before Friday or Saturday. Two
witnesses have been summoned from 'Perp!jnan, and it is
doubtful whether they will be able to reach Pa; Ls by Thurs-
day next. One of these witnesses is M. Corbiere, who ap-
peared likewise in the trial of the prisoners of April.
We are assured that the Government is highly dissatisfied
with the conduct of General Bugeaud, and that complaints have
been made both to the Marshal Governor of Algiers, and
to the Minister of War, of various acts of despo-
tism of that General. We are the more inclined to be-
lieve these accounts, as our private letters from Africa point
out facts of such a nature that we know not by what names to
call them. The natives detest General Bugeaud, and the
following fact has not a little contributed to it. Having
lately convened several chiefs of tribes, he kept them for three
hours bare-headed in a kind of court-yard, exposed to the
sun, while he harangued, through the means of an interpreter,
quite at his ease, under the cover of a portico. This strange
conduct, which the General doubtless considered as a proof
of dignity, was looked upon, even by the Arabs, as the act of
a man ill educated, and as an insult which they do not seem
inclined to pardon. Meantime he seems to trouble himself
but little about the division under his command. Instead of
thinking of providing what will be necessary for the campaign,
he is said to pass his time in composing magnificent reports
in the oriental style, and intended for the papers.—iliessager,

Our readers will recollect that we published n Tlif
Sun of Monday, the copy of a General Order, signet:
by General EvANs, in which the Commander-in-

Chief reminded the troops, that as they were acting
in union with the British navy, all British subjects
found fighting in the ranks of Don CARLOS
should be considered as rebels against the King of
GREAT BRITAIN; and that if taken, they should suffer
the penalty of death. It will also be remembered that
we declined making any observations on that document,
as we had doubts of its authenticity. We could
not conceive that General EVANS would be rash
enough to declare the King of ENGLAND at
war with DoN CARLOS ; still less that be would dare,
on his own responsibility, to constitute himself his
MAJESTY'S judge and executioner. We had many
reasons for such incredulity. In the first place, we
considered it totally at variance with the character,
and inconsistent with the well known opinions of the
Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster, to declare
as a fact what he must have known to be untrue—
namely, that the King of ENGLAND was at war with
Don CARLOS ; and again to make such a declaration
of fact the basis of the most barbarous and inhuman -
policy. In the next place, had we even doubts of
General EVANS' veracity and humanity, our impression
