Flonlicit Chiefs, called by the Government, has repaired to
e'rillth, where he has been named Commandant-•in-Chief of
the -,"trrny of Etolia, Acarnania, and Epirus. After receiving
the instructions of the Government, he returns to Acarnania,
*hen he unites his army to ma:ch on Epirus."

A- Spanish Mail, bringing Madrid Papers to the
Ist instant, arrived yesterday, but they contain
but some exaggerated speculations from
4exico, representing iturbide as entering into
a n'egociation with the Commander of the Spanish
troopssince his quarrel with the Mexican Con-
They also contain a report that Linan
had entered Mexico, with a corps of '2500 or.
3°oo Spanish troops.

We have only one objection, and would re-
"(nnlend only one amendment, to r,lr. Go:::.-
Bp;",s plan for obviating the presumed evils of
t,
(„
. "toe Svstem in Ireland : and that is, that
'll'tead of being a Bill for " enabling" the in-
cln'hents of parishes to enter into leases of the
tithes for twenty-one years, it should be entitled
4,11i1l for compelling the proprietors of land in
1
41" d, and the incumbents of parishes, to take
441 grant !eases of the tithes whenever required
3°
to do by the occupiers of the soil, or by any
r'atilission or other public body empowered to
elrrY the provisions of the into effect. If
40.
'ernment and the Legislature are indeed satis-
-3 that in Ireland the existing tithe system is
Pvreiudicial to the public welfare and to the pub-
lc tranquillity, why should the Legislature be
°ntent with merely enabling other parties to mi-
tigate so great an evil, if those other parties steal,
thl4kfit? If Parliament in its wisdom shall declare
the existing system to be injurious, and shall
admit the necessity of some change, by which the
injurious consequences which it recognizes shall
to future be arrested, why should Parliament
''i:Ph
sse the execution of measures, wich have
"" founded upon its own knowledge, and ap-
Proved by its own wisdom, to the hazard of being
Partially and perhaps wholly defeated by the
ignorance, the indifference, and even the self-
interested policy of individuals ?—lt is some
',ears since the Legislature passed an Act for
the employment
Parishes to rent twenty acres of land for
employment of the Poor. It is many years
wince an Act was passed for abolishing the
necessity of serving apprenticeships of seven
years to the greater number of employments.
„flat more than half a dozen parishes (if so
many) have availed themselves of the fa-
cilities which the Legislature thought fit to
afford them ; and as for the serving of appren-
,4ceNhips, though that is one of the most se-
vere" hardships to which the labouring classes are
h4libiected, not the slightest change has taken
4,1" in the rigorous and slavish custom which
t;torts from them the greater part of the fruits
di, 'he productive industry of their families,
'r'ng the only period (and that a period of
4et'en years) in which the children are likely to
be valuable to the parents ! Now, there can be
e' doubt as to the policy or the importance to
4e Public welfare and prosperity, of employing
ittPart of the poor upon land; and the wisdom
41 scientific knowledge of Parliament enabled
to recognize, and induced it to sanction, the
tr°Ployment of the poor in agriculture. There
litn. he no doubt also that the positive abo-
-01" of apprenticeships would be not only of
t:at "aloe to the working classes, but eminently
nflitincive, by enhancing
.the value of labour and
fhc"rse increasing the power of consumption,to
geutral welfare of the State ; and Parliament
4)?, its Act has shewn that it is aware of the bene-
4al results with which the abolition must be at-
h:ltied• Yet the scientific knowledge and bene-
thent intentions of the Legislature have in both
jte'e cases been entirely defeated, because
per 443 been content with merely enabling
4,s°ns to do certain acts, the tendency and
fleets of which they are too ignorant to corn-
erehe
int nd, instead of compelling them to carry
°execution measures of which the wisdom of
't:i,r, e fiatnent approves. If the bill for altering the
Dtirl System in Ireland be not rendered corn-
-in s°rY) We fear that it will be found inoperative
vractice. We do not know that the collection
tlie tithes has been productive of all the
noniefs that have been attributed to it,
t0'1" We know, supposing all those mischiefs
au,,lave actually occurred, that by Mr. Gout,-
Aisis's plan they will be effectually obviated.
NI that we suggest is, that, if Parliament be
haryinced of the existence of the evils, and be
rneisfied of the efficacy of the remedy, Parlia-
q nt should not give private individuals the option
ti,,,a(kPting or rejecting its legislative inten-
ttir s; but, having discovered the cause and the
of a great national grievance, should render
ep Itet Of its own interference national and
n3Pulsory.
