the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers towards
Ireland, and of the principles of the Irish Admi-
nistration itself. There is no subject which aught
to occupy the attention of Government respect-
ing that country, which has not been, or will not
be, under its solicitous consideration. But what
is, perhaps, of still greater moment, the principle,
influencing and regulating the conduct of Admi-
nistration in these proceedings, is nominally ap-
proved of by men of all descriptions. None fear,
or even affects to feat, that any measure will he
adopted, touching, in the least, on his individual
or other rights or privileges. The object of his
Majesty's Ministers is to ameliorate the condition
of all, by satisfying all that nothing else is meant
or will be entertained. We wish the people of
Ireland to maturely consider this, and as they
value their country and their character, to unite
cordially with the Government in_ its present
exertions for their permanent happiness and pros-
perity.

The debate uu Monday apprises us that, it

the view of the principal speakers on that occa-
sion, the question of the general admissibility of
Roman Catholics to Parliament,&c. is dissevered
from the other question concerning the state and
condition of the people of Ireland. This cer-
tainly places both questions in new points or
view, and by the disunion not improbably will
be found to diminish the adventitious weight and
importance of both. We must at the same time
feel that either topic will be likely to obtain a
better chance of a fair and dispassionate

inquiry than when they were mixed toge-
ther. Both now become questions of a general
instead of a local nature ; they relate to the
empire, and not to any particular portion of
it. We cannot sufficiently regret the, attempt,
however feeble, that was made to represent the
disturbances in the south of Ireland in the light
of an insurrection on account of religious bigotry,
and to excite a prejudice against our Roman Ca-

tholic fellow-subjects. The indignant reply,
however, of Mr. Plunkett, and the manifest feel-
ing of the majority of the House of Commons,
evinced by the manner in which Mr. Ellis and
Mr. Plunkett were respectively heard, must have
the effect of neutralizing the mischief which such
an attempt might otherwise have produa.!ed.—
Nothing could have been more- injudicious than
Mr. Ellis's speech, and nothing, better timed or
more felicitous than the antidote that was sup-
plied by Mr. Plunkett.

[MORNING. ILEILALD.]
The accounts from Germany are still of a war-
like character. Not a word has yet appeared
in the Austrian Official Journal on this subject.
It is pretended that according to private accounts
of the 11th, from Vienna, Prince Metternich,
after several conferences with the Russian En-
voy and Ambassador, had dispatched a, fresh
Note, to the Austrian Minister at Constanti-
nople, to be placed before the Divan, con-
taining " the liveliest reproaches" against the,
basis and language of the late Turkish Note,
and formally declaring that if the Porte did
not prove more moderate, Austria would
abandon her system of mediation, and follow the
bent of her own policy. The Internuncio was
further directed to quit Constantinople, unless
the Porte should adopt a change of conduct.
The departure of the Russian Envoy, M. de
Tatischeff, from Vienna, affords to the continen-
tal speculators a premise for directly opposite
conclusions. On one side it is regarded as a
warlike, on the other as a pacific phenomenon—
and the truth is, that the mere fact tells nothing
either way. The Nuremburg
,Correspondent
goes the length of saying that the Turks are
to open the campaign upon a plan of at-
tack laid down by a once distinguished
French General—and the Augsburgh Gazette
states, that several Turkish corps had al-
ready crossed the Danube. The most curious
piece of iutelligence, however, from the German
rapers, IS the announcement that Ali Pacha is
still among the quick, escaped to Port Mahon,
'having, left the body of an Albanese soldier dead
of his wounds, and clad in a Paella's robes,,to be
his representative in the hands of the Turkish
besiegers. Ali was certainly one of the most con-
ning"of mr.nkind, but we suspect it will be found
that this is but a Greek legend, which, perhaps,
shall figure hereafter as a fact in the pages of the
future historian.
