ANOTHER IRISH RIOT.

On Sunday night a desperate riot and distur-
bance took place in Gravel-lane, Southwark, in
consequence of one of these disgraceful contests
which are so constantly recurring in the Metro-
polis, between the men belonging to the two pro-
vinces in Ireland, Munster and Connaught. A body
of between 1,500 and 1,600 of them assembled on
that night in Gravel-lane, from all quarters of
the town, armed principally with pokers and blud-
geons. About eleven o'clock the row commenced,
and before many minutes had elapsed, the heads
of several of the contending parties were broken.
They soon cleared the streets of the peaceable
inhabitants, who were obliged to fly into their
dwellings. The beaten party retreating into
Union-street, were closely pursued by their
adversaries, who did not spare theConnaught men,
between whom and The Munster the most fixed
and determined hatred commenced on their setting
foot on English ground. The riot nowbecomingmost
alarming, the few watchmen in the neighbour-
hood made an ineffectual attempt to quell it,
but were knocked dc;%%n for their pains ; the
fighting continued until a sufficient number of
constables and watchmen collected from different
parts to cope with the rioters, all of whom see-
ing the preparations that were going forward to
take them into custody, left off the original
cause of quarrel, and made a simultaneous attack
upon the guardians of the night, who, with great
difficulty, and after having received some hard
knocks, succeeded in securing six of the ring-
leaders of the disturbance, whose names are—
Dan Desmond, 'rim Ryan, Paddy M'Keogh,
Ned M'Carthy, John Holmes, and Terence
Forkin—all of whom were lodged in the
watch-house for the night, and brought up to
Union Hall the following morning. One and
all of them declared upon their consciences, that
they had taken neither hand, act, or part in the
" bit of a iow," but because they happened to
have Irish tongues in their heads, and tried to put
an end to the quarrel, they were locked up.—
'They were held to bail.

ANECDOTES; &c.

BARONIAL, fimstAot.--=tf a Nobleman enters upon the
manor of Oakham, in Rutlandshire, he forfeits one shoe of the
Horde he ridetlt, as an Homage to Lord HARRINGTON, the
Lord-of it.--(Speed.)
. _

PRINCE'S METAL.—When the Prince of ORANGE, after-
wards WILLIAM the nuitil, carne over to this country, five
of the seven Bishops, who had been sent to the Tower, declared
fin' his Highness; but the other two would not. Upon which
DRYDEN said, " that the seven golden candlesticks were sent
" to be assayed in the Tower, and five of them proired prince':
' metal."

PRISON-BARS.—The rustic game of pet ion-bars was once a
Royal amusement. King EDWARD VI., in his diary, tells us,
that on the 31it of March, 1549, he offered " a challenge, that
he and sixteen Gentlemen of his chamber would ruff at base,
shoot, and rnn at the ring, with any seventeen of the Court."
TRUE COURA6Z.—When GiesArt was counselled to' have a
Guard always about him : he answered., he would have none;
for he would rather die once than live in perpetual care and
fear !—( Imp. Hist.)
A French Gentleman some days since applied to the Secre-
tary of one of oiir London Charities to know the nature of its
foundation. The Clerk Was prodeeding regularly to inform
him that they had one good President arid twelve "Vice-Presi-
dents, when he was interrupted by " Ah, ha I von gud Presi-
dent ; vice, dat is vicked-,-and you have twelve vicked ones—
they vill be all too strong for dat gentleman ; I shall carry my
money to another house."
' ANGIEL'S COSTUME.—Upon the death of a worthy baitlie of
Edinburgh, his relations resolved to erect a monument to his
memory. They accordingly applied to a mason, and, among
other directions, desired that he would represent an angel, bear-
ing the' baillie to Heaven. The mason set to work, and chiselled
out a charming likeness of the deceased worthy • on the head of
the angel he carved a wig similar to the baillie's(which was the
largest wig in the Town Council). One of his relations, on return+
in g from London,went to inspect the subject of the sculpture. Af-
(-ter musing some time over it, he asked the mason who the lower
figure was intended for. " Oh, that's the angel lifting our auld
friend to Heaven." " The angel !" said the. gentleman,
" who ever saw an angel wear a wig ?" " Did ye ever see ane
without a wig fin retorted the artist. This was unanswerable ;
so the monument wa? erected, and may be seen on the north
side of the church-yard of the Greyfriars, to the wonder of all
beholders.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the. Etoile, Nov. 24.)
PARIS, Nov. 23.—The Exchange the day be-
'fore yesterday announced a rise. The news
from London and Amsterdam also announced a

rise in those cities ; but at the very opening of
the Exchange it was pretty generally known that
considerable sales were to take place. This, in

fact, happened. Between a million and 1,200,000
hancs of Reute were offered for sale, and found

purchasers without producing a fall of more than
-Lily centimes. The opening price was 67f. 90c.,
the lowest 67f. 40c., and towards the close of the
Exchange 67f. 70c.
Lively curiosity was excited among the fre-
quenters of the Exchange, to learn the cause of
so extensive an operation. Some thought it was
with combined speculation for a fall, which had
failed in its object. °titers thought that an ex-
tensive speculation in Three per Cents. had,

.according to the technical phrase of the Ex-
,change, been " executed." To.day it was
..known, at the beginning of the Exchange, that
.the last conjecture was well founded ; the house
which had sold the Rentes was named, and the
iesult was a further decline, which was brought

there to about 66f. 75c. However, it was known
that the parquet alone was interested in the affair.
According to letters from Corfu, of the 31st
October, the Ottoman fleet had not yet appeared
on •tho coasts of the Morea. The Seraskier Red-
-schid Pacha had retired to the distance of three

leagues from Migsolongbi, but the siege was not
raised. It is said that one of the last sallies cost
the Greeks a great many men, and• that they lost,
among others, the Pie►noutese Colonel Costa.

I braiiim Pacha continues to make excursions

In the Morea, and had lately advanced towards
Corinth. After an action he marched towards
Argos.

FiteNTIERS OF ITALY, Nov. G.—There is still
a Turkish squadron in the port of A vlona, which
dare not put to sea, for fear of being attacked
by the Greeks. ltedschid Pacha's army is still
in Etolia, and its retreat, so often announced by,
the 6reeks, has not taken place ; but it is

weakened by the desertion of several Albanian

cerfq, which have returned to their homes, by
diseases, by perpetual engagements, sze. But
Redschid declares his firm resolution not to with.-
draw his army from Etolia till Miss°lough; is
taken; and if the surrender of that place should
be delayed, be will take up his winter quarters

in that province.

Tux ERIE CANAL.—A. grand canal, upwards
of 500 miles in length, was projected in 1808, to
unite the great Northern and Western Lakes
(those Mediterraneans of the new world) with
the waters of the Atlantic. The idea was treated
with contempt, as the dream of a visionary or a
madman. This vast work is now completed !
OH the 26th October, at ten in the morning, the
first boat from Lake Erie entered the canal. Im-
mediately a cannon was fired at Buffalo on the
Lake. Other cannon were placed within hearing
of each other, to repeat the salute all the way to'
New York, and so on to Sandy Hook, and then
again the fire was returned back to Buffalo, a
distance in the whole of 1080 miles! It was ex-
pected that the boat would reach New York on
the 4th of November, where preparations were
made for a grand aquatic festival, in which all
the public authorities of that City and State, the
societies, citizens, military and naval persons,
were to take part. The day would doubtless be
a day of triumph—of proud and well-earned
triumph.—(Nere York Paper.)

POETRY.

THE LIGHTHOUSE.
The murmur rose soft, as I silently gazed
On the shadowe wave's playful motion,
From the dim distant isle, till the Lighthouse fire blazed
Like a star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the joy of the Sailor Boy's breast,
Was heard in its wildly breathed numbers ;
The sea-bird had flown to her wave girted nest,
The Fisherman sunk to his slumbers.
One moment I look'd from the hill's gentle slope,
All hushed was the billow's commotion,
And I thought that the Lighthouse looked lovely as Hope,
That Star of life's tremulous Ocean.
The time is long past, and the scene is afar;
Vet when my head rests on its pillow,
Will memory sometimes rekindle the Star,
That blazed on the breast of the Billow.
In life's closing hour, when the trembling soul flies,
And death stills the heart's sad emotion,
Oh ! then may the Seraph of Illercy arise,
Like a Star in Eternity's Ocean !
London, England, 1825-11-26

THE tfIEATR E.

CCM' ENT,,G !W.l.—The Road to Ruin was
represented la,t night. This Comedy may be
deemed an extraordinary production, considering
that the author was obscure in his origin, in mid-
dle life he was a shoemaker, afterwards a jockey,
and then an actor. In the last capacity he doubt-
less acquired his knowledge of dramatic compo-
sition, with such education as he could catch in
the intervals of employment for support. Ile was
one of the modern School of Politician,, and has
contrived to introduce some of his pseudophilo-
sophy into his play, put, however, into characters
with which it is by no means properly connected.
The Road to Rain is, however, an entertaining
and an interesting production, and was last night
altogether well represented. W. FARREN dis-f
played judgment and feeling in Old Dornton.
COOPER, if not all that has been seen in Young-
DOrnton, rendered it impres,ive. ?Miss GowitßD,a
lively young actress, first introduced to the public
at Mr. ARNOLD'S Theatre, displayed more cha-
racteristic spirit in Sophia than could reasonably
be expected in so juvenile a Performer. To the
credit of the management, Mrs. GLOVER is re-
stored to this Theatre. She has the good sense
to adapt herself to character, suitable to her
time of life, and to the alteration of her figure.
(ler appearance last night in the Widow IVarren
was hailed by a numerous audience with very
gratifying testimonies of general satisfaction, and
her performance of the part fully justified the
very favourable reception which she experi-
enced. JONES and BLANcitAnn, iu Goldsmith and
Silky, gave adevate support to the Comedy.—
After the humours of Polichinello, a new Farce,
in one act, was brought forward under the title
of The Scapegoat.

COMMON PLEAS, DUBLIN, Nov. 10.

/AMES 1.11" r LE, TRADING UNDER THE 1,11131 OF ANNE
THOMP:WN AND CO. V. ARTHUR FRENCH, ESQ.
Mr. 'WALLACE applied to the Court on behalf of the de-
fendant fora conditional order, to set aside the verdict which
was obtained by the plaintiff in this cause, at the sittings after
last Trinity Term, on the ground that such verdict was con-
trary to law and evidence, and the damages given to the plain.
tiff excessive. The action had 'been brought by the plaintiff,
who is a milliner, to recover the value of a quantity of jewel-
lery, millinery, and other expensive articles furnished to the
lady of the defendant, and a verdict of 948/. damages had been
pronounced in the plaintiff's favour. It was to be observed,
that the articles which formed the ground of that action had
been furnished to the wife of the defendant without his con-
sent or knowledge, and at a time when that lady was known by
the plaintiff to be living apart from her husband, and when he
also knew that a provision of 8001. a year was made for her,
and was at all times ready for her acceptance ; the plaintiff
having been apprised of these particulars, and having received
a caution not to give the lady credit. It would appear, on ex-
amination of the nature of the articles, that they could not pos-
sibly be construed as necessaries.

The Court granted the conditional rule.
Mr. WALLACE begged to add, that in the space of four
months, no less than 5001. worth of jewellery and Castle
dresses had been ordered by Mrs. French.
Mr. CRAMPTON observed, that it would be rather alarming
to gentlemen to find it decided by the verdict of a Jury that it
was necessary for their ladies to have three Castle-dresses for
one night.
Mr. WALLacE—Yes, anti wear them all on the same night.
Mr. Sergeant GooLD said he would engage to uphold the
verdict.

SHOOTING.

Last week a Batten was given by John Thorp, Esq. of Chip_
penham Park, to their Royal Highnesses the Duke of York and
Prince Leopold, the Duke of Rutland, Marquis of Graham,
lion. George Anson, C. Greville, Esq., and Sir Edward Cod-
rington. The party only begun shming at one o'clock, and
left off soon after four. The Duke of 1 ork shot remarkably
well, having killed to his own gun 68 pheasants, 17 hares,
9 rabbits, 1 woodcock, anti a wed-duck. In counting the game
killed and wounded, birds, &c. brought home at the end of the
day, it was found there were 178 pheasants, 76 of which were
red and white, and in all upwards of 300 head of game. We
believe this is the only gemleman's scat in England where there
is so beautiful a variety of pheasants.

THE THEATRE.

DRURY.LANE.—The whimsical farce of Love,
Law, and Physic, written by Mr. KENNY, ens
of the most successful of living Dramatists, was
represented last night, for the purpose of intro-
ducing a Mr. PARRY in the part of Lubin Log, a
part written purposely for Mr. LISTON, and whose
ludicrous personation of which defies rivalry. Mr.
PARRY, of whom we never heard before, posses-
sed, we presume,sufficient provincial popularity to
attract the attention of the Drury-Lane manage-
ment. He has evidently formed his representation
of Lubin Log, upon the manner of the Great Ori-
ginal, not the Great Unknown, but that Great,
Well-known prop of modern Comedy, Mr. LISTON. ,t„,,
Mr. PARRY may have something of congenial
ridorty:
humour, but at present, his acting appears too lil.
studious imitation. Still, however, he displayed -"-wn'
humour, and a jest conception of the whimsical if.,
part which he assumed, and he had no reason to
be discontented with the reception which he
experienced. HARTLEY'S Flexible had all the
bustle and active loco-motion which distinguish
this lively actor, and KNIGHT, though by no
means recovered, was diverting in the quaint
part of Andrew. The farce went off very welt
altogether.
SURREY THEATRE.—Last night's Entertain-
ments were for the benefit of Mr. ERSEINE and his excellent
band. The Orchestra was doubled, and a delightful treat-
commenced with MOZART'S charming Overture to Zauberilate,
which was admirably executed, and brought forth thunders of
applause. In the course of the Piece, WERER's unique Over-
ture to Der Freischutz gave equal satisfaction. Mr.-BiumEn.
again astonished the musical connoisseurs in his Concerto on
the Trombone, which he rendered as tractable as a German
flute. Mr. ATKINSON, the celebrated Yorkshire Singer, gate,
" Jerry Blossom" in his happiest style, while VALE made the
audience as gay as so many larks.—Reports say that blons.
GOUFFE, the Island Ape, is of so much consequence to this.
house, that he is to receive 101. for his performance on Monday
next.

CHRONOLOGICAL BIOGRAPHY.

This day were published, Vols. 1,2, and 3, of
ANEW UNIVERSAL. BIOGRAPHY,
Chronologically arranged, and the Subjects classed ac-
cording to their various talents. and pursuits ; including Regal,
Imperial, and Historical Characters, as well as persons of emi-
nence in every Art and Science.
By the Rev. J. PLATTS:
The First Series of this Work comprehends the whole of
Scripture and Ancient Biography to the time of our Saviour,
and is complete in one voluMe Bvo. price 18s. half-bound and
lettered.
The Second Series comprehends the period from the Birth of
Christ to the Reformation, in two volumes, price 11. 10s.
The Third Series comprehends the period from the Refor-
mation to the close of the Sixteenth Century, and will be
completed in four volumes, of which the two first are neatly
ready for delivery.
In the remaining Series the Work will be brought down to
the present dine.
•,,,* The advantaves of a Chronological Arrangement in a
Work of this description are great and obvious, inasmuch as by
the juxtaposition of contemporaneous lives, and the classifica-
tion of the subjtects according to their several pursuits and dis-
tinctions, a continuity as well as a sympathy of interest is ex-
cited, which is wholly unattainable in a dictionary or other
alphabetical form of arrangement, wherein every subject of re-
ference must of necessity he unconnected and isolated • whereas,
in a chronological arrangement, every personage has his proper
place. as well in relation to his predecessors, contemporaries,
anti successors, as to the subjects with which he is historically
connected. Hence a work constructed on this pl in not only
furnishes a biographical memoir of the persons referred to, but
it exhibits a progressive view of history, arts, and sciences.

We received at a late hour the Etoile of yes-
terday. The following are its chief contents:—
The Augsburg Gazette contains the following
news from Trieste, dated July 18 and 19 : Let-
ters from Corfu of the 10th of July announce,
that IBRAHAM PACHA has taken Trippolitza,
after an obstinate resistance, on the part of
the father of CotocoTnoNt. Several actions
had previously 'taken place, but always to
the disadvantage of the Greeks. It appears
that their forces were paralized, but that,
finding it impossible to save that place, they
set fire to it themselves, having also destroyed
all the villages on the road. The reports of the
intended mediation of the European Powers be-
tween the Greeks and the Porte gain ground,
though with little promise of success.

ODYSSEUS.

(Flom the Austi•iun Observer, July 22.)

VIENNA, JULY 22.

In our Paper of 9th June, we gave from the
Athenian an account of the taking of Odysseus.
We have now received the following particulars
from a traveller who left Athens at the end of
May. In the neighbourhood of Salona, Odysseus
was abandoned by almost all his followers.
They went over to the 'Greeks, who were op-
posed to him, under the command of Goura.
Just about this time he was informed by a Turk,
with whom he was on a confidential footing, that
it was intended to arrest him by virtue of
an order that had come from Constantinople,
and to bring them dead or alive to Negro-
pont. This plan was to be executed that
night. Odysseus quickly took his resolu-
tion ; concerted with his few followers a
pretended flight ; pursued them with loud
cries, and in this manner happily escaped before
the Turks well knew what was the matter. Ile
hoped to be well treated by his country men, as
they happened to be some of those who had for-
med y been under his command. Goura had him
put in chains, and led him past the cavern where
the family of Odysseus and his brother-in-law
still reside. An attempt was made to induce them
to give up this retreat, but it failed. Hereupon
Odysseus was sent to Megara, where the people
were going to stone him to death, and he was saved
only by his guards covering him with their cloaks.
From Megara he was brought to Salamis, and on
the llth May. to Athens. In time streets of that
city a woman struck him in the face with stones,
and the populace were incensed against him,
reproaching him with his arbitrary execu-
tions, and especially with that of a Papa whom
he had ordered to he walled up. The Go-
vernment had given orders to send the prisoner
to Napoli ; but the Captains of Goura refused,
answering that Odysseus was safer at Athens
than at Napoli. lie was shewn to me. Ile is
confined in the Acropolis, in a square tower op-
posite the Propylaea and the rampart which he
had built during the time he was Governor, and
there is an inscription on a stone, commending
" this work, completed .in common by Odysseus
and Goura, the Generals of Greece."

[BRITISH PR ESS.I

,
Since the repeal of the severe taws by which
combinations were formerly punished. no part of
the kingdom has suffered so much from the crimi-
nal folly of the workmen as Ireland. The mis-
chievous extent to which they carried their sys.
tern of combination is hardly credible on rela-
tion. It was supported by the most shocking
and infamous means. In several instances blood
was shed under circumstances peculiarly revolt-
ing and inhuman. Every branch of the trade
of the country was thrown into confusion and
stagnation. The workmen were warned in vain
that' their proceedings tended directly and
principally to their own injury. They were blind
to any consequences but the evils they unfortu-
nately had it in their power to bring upon their
masters, for refusing to accede to the insolent and
extravagant demands on which they insisted.
The effects that were predicted are, however,
now beginning to be accomplished. Among the
trades in which these combinations were most
active and powerful, was that of the shipwrights
of Dublin. These men have succeeded in de-
stroying their trade. The timber with which
the vessels belonging to that port was to have
been there built, is on its passage to Eng-
land, or lying on the quays for that pur-
pose. The shipowners of Ireland have been
compelled, in self-defence, to give employment
to the shipwrights of England. The sauce course
will he followed with regard to every other trade
in the same condition. The merchants of Ire-
land will seek in England or elsewhere for those
articles which they cannot obtain at a reasonable
price at home. The Men who now refuse to work
them' elves or permit others to work, except
on terms, and at a rate of wages which the
state of trade will not allow, will shortly be
unable to get employment on any terms or
for any wages. The remembrance of their miscon.

The Paris Papers of Monday, which came to
hand this morning, contain but little intelligence
that can interest thy English Reader. We have,
however, made a few extracts which will be
found below. These Papers ars occupied with
the Treaty between the two Emperors of BRAZIL,
and the discussions relative to the Congress of
Panama.

Private Letters from Madrid, in the Journal
des Debats and the Constitutionnel, draw a very
melancholy picture of the state of things in Spain,
and the consequences which seem likely to follow
the dismissal of M. ZEA BERMUDEZ, and the ap-
pointment of the Duke del IIITANTADO in his

place.
This dismissal has been followed by the re-
signation of the Marquis ZKMBRANO, who, it
seems, was too fond of reform and innovation to
please the fanatical party, now at the head of af-
fairs, the recal of the Canon RoxAs and seve-
ral others by the Minister of Justice, Ckao-
M A awe. The triumph thus accorded to this head-
strong party, was the result of the efforts of the
Danish Minister at Madrid, who has resided
there since 1807. He was animated by the most
implacable hatred of the Ex-Minister M. Zak,
whose fall he has so adroitly managed, assisted,
as it is said, by a French party.

its orders that the number of troops in Moldavia and Wal.

A new Treaty of Commerce and Navigation has been signed
at London, between England and the three Hanseatic towns.
This Treaty is dated the 29th of September last, and its stipu-
lations are founded on the principle of reciprocity between the

contracting Parties.
The Hanseatic towns, for many years past, have carried on a
lucrative trade with Hayti, but nevertheless declined to send
Consuls to the Repubiic. Since France has recognised the in-
dependence of this country, there does not appear any obstacle

PATENT STEAM-CARRIAGE COMPANY.,

A meeting of the Shareholders in this scheme was held pester-
day at th© London Tavern.
The Chairman- (Mr. BELCHER) stated,• that the meeting
had been convened in consequence of a requisition. ITp"ori the
'result 'of that meeting would depend either the carrying► ors
or total abolition of the Company. Before the receipt' of the
requisition, the Trustees had communicated with the pa-
tentees of the carriages, to ascertain whattlength of time must
elapse previous to their being called on to witness a trial of it;
.the answer was, that's month. woaki complete the object.. But
when that period had-expired, 'nothing was heard as to an ex-
hibition; or any communication whatsoever as to the capabilities
of the undertaking: The gentlemen present would have= op-

Mr. PLASKET acknowledged having received the 5./000/.,
but from that he had not derived the least benefit, Maori-melt as
the whole sum was paid to those who were interested; or rather
those who had to manufacture the -carriage. Major M'Currie,

PRONE, APRIL 25.

Here we are at this far-famed place, which was evacuated
last night on our approach. We all thought Rangoon had
enough, but this place is ten times worse—dirty- beyond de-
scription, low, swampy, and surrounded by hills. Our pro.
spects here are not very brilliant; it is to be hoped, theretbre,
that these Burmese are going to make peace with us. They left
upwards of 105 pieces of ordinance on the works, and on the
hills in the vicinity of the stockade. Sir A. Campbell talks of
proceeding to Ava as soon as he has the means of conveying
1,500 men (Europeans) by water, and transporting provisions
for them. If, however, as we proceed, the King continues
running away, we shall be as far off as ever from the attain-
ment of our object. Reports here are very strong as to Gene-
ral Morrison's having reached Shenabewgaun.—( Government
Gazette, May 26.)
The latest letters that have reached us from Rangoon are
of date May 7, and refer us for the particulars of the occupa-
tion of Proute to Sir Archibald Campbell's dispatches. They
speak rather gloomily as to the prospect of immediate peace,
but represent it as heartily desired on all hands. The Am.
bassador from Ava, it was presumed, had proposed terms that
could not be listened to, or failed to give that of good faith on
the part of his Royal master, which was desirable ; and Sir
Archibald was preparing to proceed on the capital, and to move
as soon as he could obtain water conveyance for 1,200 men.
The troops at Rangoon are preparing tbr the ensuing rainy
monsoon, and making all things comfortable for winter quar-
ters.

Further accounts have reached us from Prome, dated May
2d and 3d. The Ambassador had taken fright, and gone off
without entering into any sort of negociation. Captain Alex-
ander, with some of the gun-boats, went up a short way above
Prome, where he fell in with 3,000 boats, full of people of the
country, whom he liberated, and who have returned to their
homes. The chiefs were driving them before them like so
many beasts. Letters of the 3d state, that thq King had taken
himself ofF, and that no one remained to negociate.—(John
May 27.)

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 4, 1825.

THE SPEECH from the Throne, of which we
had yesterday the pleasure of presenting an ac-
curate copy to the Public must afford general
satisfaction to the Country, however it may af-
ford topics for party differences. All the sub-
jects of essential interest to the State were touch-
ed upon, and in so guarded a manner, as not to
be likely to provoke opposition, though it may be
offered on sound principles. The situation of
Ireland is matter of deep interest, and will
doubtless employ the early attention of Govern-
ment, and lead, we trust, to a satisfactory result.
The Catholic Association in that country, if it
were only to effect the purpose of a release from
.
all religious disabilities, would be no more than
could be expected from men who, differing from
the national faith, are naturally anxious to parti-
cipate in the power of the State ; but as it
is made an engine for the exaction of pecuni-
ary contributions viith the apparent view to
assist their claims by force, the Association
alluded to is an object of serious alarm, inasmuch
as it seems intended to overawe Government. It
may therefore lie expected that all parties, with
the exception, of course, of individuals, will unite
in approving of measures calculated to repress

the aims or a power that is inconsistent with
the authority of the State. With respect to
the virtual recognition of the South Ameri-
can States, there surely ,can be no difference
of opinion. They have establi,hed their in-
dependence, which can never be over-turned
by the Parent Countries, and they should now
be admitted into the rank of Independent
Nations. The harmony that subsists between
this Country and the other Powers of Europe,
must be considered as a proof of the strength of
the British Government, as those Powers do not
at present,at least,confortn to our policy in acknow-
acknowledging the freedom of the South Ame-
rican Republics. There are other points in the.
SPEECH which we wish to notice, but must
bear for the present to touch upon,
satisfied
ht
the mean time that a full discussion • will take'
place in Parliament, and afford those lights which
Hill guide the judgment of the People into a
due appreciation of the general policy of their
Government.
