and conspire to defeat these laws, which they cannot
resist by other less objectionable means—hence the
determined resistance, the universal hostility to the
law. Every wrongdoer is looked upon as a cham-
pion of popular rights, who receives sympathy and
assistance from the people. Agrarian outrages have
long been prevalent in Ireland, although
they have never, perhaps, reached to so
frightful an extent, or afforded such evidences of
general demoralization, as at present. The " move-
ment" is spreading through all parts of the country,
the districts in which the " Ulster tenant right" is
recognised alone being excepted : there, indeed,
friendly relations are still continued between landlord
and tenant, and although the struggle will be
arduous, we doubt not of the result. Difficulties must
necessarily be encountered, but they will eventually
be overcome. A sturdy and energetic race, whose
interests are one and indivisible, whose objects are the
same, and who are thoroughly united, musteventually
prove successful. Their strength is not wasted
against each other, but turned against their common
foe, and their triumph is certain. But there
can be no hope for Munster or Connaught,
nor even for Leinster until the landlord and tenant
question is placed upon a secure and satisfactory basis
—on a basis that will content the " many " as well
as the " few," and which will prevent the wholesale
clearances—the flagrant acts of oppression and in-
justice which, although they have only been resorted
to in isolated cases, have tainted the entire system,
and produced an outcry against the general body of
landlords, which few, indeed, of their number have
merited. The good, however, have been confounded
with the bad ; the considerate and reasonable pro-
prietor has been classed with the spoliator and
exterminator, and devices that should scarcely be
put in operation against the most cruel oppressor
have been resorted to against the most deserving and
meritorious.

Again we reiterate our decided conviction
that there can be no hope for Ireland until the
custom of tenant-right is legalised and extended to
the entire country. Then, and not till then, there
will
-be a reasonable prospect of her social regenera-
tion and of her ultimately attaining to the welfare and
prosperity of which she has been deprived by the
misgovernment and mal-legislation of bygone ages.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
We have have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur announces that M. LOUIS FREHAULT,
principal surgeon of the second class, at the Royal
Hospital, at Toulon, has been sentenced to one
month's imprisonment and to dismissal from the
service for having "on the invasion of the cholera
committed an unheard-of act of weakness in quitting
his lodging in the hospital:to withdraw to the country,
and leaving the service to subordinates."
The Assembly met in their bureaux on Wednes-
day to consider the credits demanded by the different
Ministers for the expenses of the army of Rome, which
gave rise to a discussion on the subject of
the PRESIDENT'S letter. The parti-pretre,
as might have been expected, expressed their
disapprobation of the PRESIDENT'S letter, which
General D'HAuTpooL considered unconstitutional.
That MM. PISCATORT, BONNIER DE L'ECLUSE,_
VERGIN, and BENGNOT, should follow in the wake of
the General does not surprise us ; but we must con-
fess that we are surprised when we find the ci devant
esprit fort, M TRIERS, speaking after the following
fashion :—" That the expedition could have no
other object than to restore the PoPE, and that if
the language of the President of the Council had not
been explicit, it could only have been understood in
that sense." He expressed his satisfaction at the
motu proprio of the PorE, and considered that the
concessions granted were perfectly suitable to the
Roman people ; and that the object of the expedition
being now fulfilled, the troops should be withdrawn.
Perhaps we ought rather to pity this unfortunate
gentleman than to blame him. Like CHARLES X ,
he bath done those things in his youth of which he
would fain blot out the memory. 'When the age is in
the wit is out, and your ci-devant young sinner is in
general the best material out of which to manufac-
ture your old bigot. Strange that M. THIEES
should in his old years become the very thing which,
in the case of CHARLES X., was the object of his
, unmitigated contempt. M. BAROCHE, who followed
M. TRIERS, was of a different opinion to that gentle-
, man.—" Hei (M. Baroche) was of opinion that the
French troops shoull not leave until some guarantee
land. beercAotop:‘,.....l foe tin.. futowte., and to. more ex.-
tended amnesty obtained." MM. Victor Lefranc,
Benoit Chumps, Victor Hugo, De Casa Biancha, De
la Moskowa, ascal Duprat, Churamaule, Laratet,
and Charras, would vote the credits demanded on
condition that the Ministry followed the policy
pcinted out in the letter of the PRESIDENT.
The Committee named are MM. Thuriot de la
Rozere, de Montalembert, llerbert Delisle, General
Oudinot, Bengnot, Jaudier, Thiers, Victor Hugo,
Chaper, De Langrene, De !a Moskowa, de Casa thanes,
General d'llautpool, Mole, and Broglie.
The most cordial understanding subsists between
the French and English Governments on the subject
of the Russo-Turkish question. The French Govern-
ment has declared its entire approval of the con-
duct of General Auricx, and on Tuesday Lord
NORMANDY submitted to M. TOCQUEVILLE the pro-
posed draft of a joint note to Russia and Austria,
which is couched in the most energetic and unmis-
takable terms.
The unanimity of opinion prevailing on this subject
among English journalists has produced a marked
effect. The Journal des Debats says :
.‘ The effect produced in England by the news of the
diplomatic events which have just taken place at Con-
stantinople has not been less ardent or profound than in
France. The English press was from the first moment
unanimous in stigmatising, as it deserved, the cruel exi-
gencies of the Cam.. From the lilornihg Chronicle,
which is almost absolutist with respect to continental
policy, to the Radical Daily IVezcs ; from the Morning
Post, the constant defender of Russian policy, to The
Sun, the organ of the extreme Liberal party; all the
Conservative papers like the Times, and the Protectionist
Herald, or Ministerial, like the Globe, have pronounced
with an energy that does honour to the morality of public
opinion in England, against the implacable cruelty
which would seek gratification by intruding on a foreign
soil, and violating the sacred rights of hospitality—a
virtue practised by the most barbarous tribes of the
desert. All party questions have, as in France., disip-
peered before this one_ question of honour and
morality.'
The differences which have unfortunately arisen
between the French Republic and that of the United
States will not lead to any unpleasant consequences.
The mediation of England was offered, and at once
accepted by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic,
and there can be little doubt but that it will be also
accepted by the PRESIDENT of the United States. It
is said that the embassy to the United States will be
offered to M. MARRAST. The PRESIDENT of the Re-
public is much pleased with the manner in which
Colonel CHARRAS, M. DUPRAT, and other members
of the MARRAST party, defended his letter to M.
EDGAR NET, against the attacks of the parti-pretre
in the bureaux of the Assembly.
Dispatches have been received from M. GUSTAVE
DE BEAUMONT, the French Envoy to Vienna, which
are ofa very unsatisfactory character. It would appear
that, having crushed liberty in Hungary and Italy,
Russia and Austria meditate an attack on the French
Republic.
The Bill for the completion of the Louvre has passed.
