[BRITISH PRESS.]
What has been the condition of Ireland for
years past, and what is to be the fate of it here-
after—are subjects which demand the most seri-
ous attention of his Majesty's Government at this
moment, and more especially of those leading
members of it who oppose themselves so inflexi-
bly to the Catholic Claims. The attention of the
people of France is anxiously directed towards all
our proceedings on this subject, and they are
manifestly looking forward with malignant anti-
cipation to the result. That they should hail
with delight every symptom of inveterate dis-
union in this country is a thing of course : it is
equally to be expected that they should be on
the watch to stimulate every revolutionary feel-
ing that we may excite, by our infatuated ex-
clusion of the Catholics from those civil rights
which they supplicate to share as British sub-
jects. We have the utmost confidence in the
good sense of the Catholic Leaders, but we fear
they have to deal with a body that when ex-
asperated will become too headstrong to he led ;
and that when the hostile feelings of the multitude
are once effectively let loose, their wisdom will
be unheeded, and their controul will go for no-
thing. We hope every thing from the loyalty
of our brethren in the Sister Kingdom, but we
cannot shut our eyes to the reality of the danger.
As far, certainly, as Ireland makes part of the
collective strength of the British Empire, her
sinews are cut asunder. That the' honour and
the interests of both parts of the United King-
dom are bound up together, is true, in fact and
in reasoning, and it is a truth too of the very last
importance ; but it is a truth which the Irish
will neither recognise nor act upon, should any
critical period arrive,—and in this eventful state
of the world there is no saying what may happen
—when it may be fatal to England that she
should carry her co-operation to the wrong side.
We have no wish to aggravate the danger of such
a crisis, but no wise man will underrate it.—
Without looking forward, however, to such a
juncture, there is more than enough in the as-
perity of six millions of people to embarrass the
operations of Government, and to put her safety
more in jeopardy than any prudent Statesman
ould care to place it. The unequivocal sense
of the House of Commons is for concession :
we would entreat the Catholics for a while to
be content with this. Other auspices, it is true,
rre not with them ; but prejudice is be-
coming every day more tractable ; as the
steady progress which their cause has made is
alone sufficient to guarantee it 3 ultimate success.
In the mean time we deprecate the revival of As-
sociations, and of any thing like an organized
system of authority, which may make it neces-
sary to arm Government with extraordinary
powers for putting down conspiracy and sedition.,
We lament to perceive the Irish newspapers
throwing out threats of this turbulent kind, but
we consider this as the ebullition of angry feel-
ing, and we draw no inferences from it unfavour-
able to the Catholics as a body. Their conduct
leas all along spoken a different language ; and
their champions do them real injury when they
thus bring- upon them the reproach of being a
faction. Let them defend their cause upon rea-
son and principle ; let them rest it upon the
broad basis of constitutional right, and, while
they pursue this course, we are with them to the
full extent of their claims. If, .however, they
seek to carry on a•war of retaliation—if they
mean to sit down before our Church Establish-
ment and to assail it by regular approaches—hut
we turn from such a subject ; we wilt not treat
such menaces as serious, or suffer the intemperate
Language of the Irish press to lead us to such
flighty and proposterous conclusions.

[THE TIMES.]
Foreign nations, keeping an eye on the inter-
nal politics of this empire, have directed no small
share of their watchfulness to the fate of the
Catholic question. Mere party quarrels between
Ministers and Opposition our neighbours neither
understand nor attend to; but this great measure
of emancipation, embracing such a volume of real
interests, enforced by the soundest maxims of
Yuman policy, frustrated chiefly by historical re-
membrances, and associations, and carrying in its
rejection the prospect at least of such awful con-
sequences, has been meditated throughout Europe
with no less anxiety than if all the relations of
England with the rest of the world were to hang
upon its establishment or overthrow. And it. is
true that the policy of other powerful States to-
wards Great Britain, and with that policy their
mutual relations, must be affected by the issue of
such a struggle ; because her domestic strength,
and consequent means of self-protection, de-
pend quite obviously on the alternative of hav-
ing between six and seven millions of her sub-
jects for enemies or friends. But foreigners,
however capable of seeing the outline of this
grand though simple question, are apt to take
partial views of the circumstances connected with
it. The French journals naturally enough con-
sider it under a French aspect. The Constitu-
tionnetchalges the loss of the bill to the u►aneeu-
vres of M. Frassinous and the Jesuits, whi) are
accused of governing the Court of Charles X.—
The Jesuits are reproached with having alarmed
and disgusted the English House of Lords by
their threats,-their power, their intrigues, preten-
sions, "their meddling in the affairs of Ireland,
and their prodigious affluence there as well as in
the French. dominions.. is reasonable to sus,
pect, that if foreign Priests were satisfied of the
tendency of emancipation to spread the authority
of the Romish Church, whatever influence they
could exercise would be actively employed for
that conscientious aud'rpious purpose. But we
more than doubt-the prevalence of any such Per-
suasion among the ecclesiastics of the Continent.
They are
.too- deep, to entertain -.it. They - are
aware thaCthe necessary result of the measures',
• one of -which figs just- been rejected,
other--.that.for' paying the priesthood—:silintiy
dropped, would have been to create a new inte-
rest in the hearts both of the lay and clerical

Catholics—viz., that of attachment to the Con-
stitution, from which one drew dignity and the
other bread. To all intents of treacherous and
injurious policy, as we have often brought it
under the' notice of our readers, an instrument
would have been taken away from Rome, not
furnished to her by this measure, which Dr.
Milner foresaw " would be fatal to" the power
that employed him. But if the foreign Jesuits
cannot be proved guilty of the designs imputed
to them for promoting the measure of emancipa-
tion, how much more preposterous is it to imagine
that the Governments of the countries in which
they flourish would countenance a change so di-
rectly productive of union and prosperity to Great
Britain ! The Holy Alliance, and that member
of it which has been more especially and perma-
nently hostile _to this country, would give whole
provinces to ensure the perpetual rejection
of the Catholic Claims by Parliament. Why,
foreigners would lose their last hold upon Eng-
land if all sources of internal distraction among
our people were dried up. No inroad upon the
balance Of power by conquest on her part would
be half so terrible to foreign States as a pek.ect
fusion of her inhabitants. No power that ever
existed-upon earth has been at any period so in-
vincible as this new chain of affection, !binding
her subjects to a common parent, would render
the British empire. No; whatever a band of
Jesuits without the pale of the Romish Church
may have effected for the defeat of the Catholic
Bill, we ascribe nothing to the. attempt of any
other hypocrites. As for the wealth and growth
of Catholic Priests under any, designation at
home, we hold the fear to be ridiculous.

[MOILNING POST.]
We received last night, by express, the
Etoile of Tuesday, the only Paper which was
published in Paris on account of the Whitsuntide
festivals. It informs us that the King set off on
that day for Coinpeigne, where he is to remain
till he makes his entry into Rheims. The Pope's
Legate had brought a splendid . sword to' the
Duke of Angouleme as a remembrance of. the
unholy and iniquitous expedition to Spain—ano-
ther proof that Popery is ' connected with every
thing which is base and unjust. He was also'com-
missioned to present to the Duchess of Angouleme
the silver hammer with which the Pope opened
the holy gate which had been shut for•O years,
(another superstition of the Romish Church),
and the medals which had been deposited
there according to custom. Letters from
Odessa, dated the 3d of May, bring intelligence,
from Constantinople to the 28th of April,accord-,
Mg to which Prince Abdul Hamill, the heir. to
the Ottoman Throne, had .died with the. small-
pox. Though he was only.fou.rteen years of age.
the Sultan is said to have feared him, and the life:,
of the son was thought to have'been-sacrificed to:'
the apprehensions of the faler. 'His. only-bro-
ther, Muschid, was altacked' the same` dis
order, and the Janissaries, who looked Up to the'.
two Princes to keep the Grand Seignior itF.awe,
are -said to have been ".confounded by his :Loss."
The news received. by the Porte from Thessaly,
and Albania, was, we are rejoiced -to.find, of an
unfavourable description. Redschhl Paella,. on
whose skill and strength mu-oh reliance: hadrbeen
placed, had not been able to, advance..oae -single
