SECOND EDITION,

DUBLIN JOURNAL OFFICE,

TEIREE O'CLOCK, P. M.—The General com-
manding at Cove, has transmitted by Express, to
Government,' an account, that the Spaniards bad
taken Idrragona by assault, and put the Garrison,
ZOOO men, to the Sword.—Lex ialionis.

A debate of some length took place last night in
the douse of Commons, on the, Motion for conti-
nuing the Bank Note Bill, and for extending it to
Ireland. It appears from the statement of Mr.
MANNING, that one of the preditlions made
by the Party last year is wholly unfounded.—
They said that the Bank would take advantage of
the AO, and inundate the country with their paper.
Now, the fad is, there are fewer Bank Notes in cir-
culation at this moment than there were last' year,
when that Bill was brought in.

The indignation which the-condu& of the Party
towards the ?atNce 'REGENT has excited in the
Public mind., has compelled some of their support-
ers to attempt an apology for their condua. But
what is almost too ridiculous to obtain credit, they
complain of the attacks made upon the Opposition,
end of the vulgar language in which they are cloth-
ed. They! who are every day libelling their PRINCE,
their Patron, and their Friend, in language which

is a disgrace to the Press-,-lhey who hate a
Committee sitting for the very purpose of menu.;
faCturing epigratns, anecdotes, against that Il-
lustrious Personage—They! who, to, gratify the
rancour of political hostility, have violated the
confidence of friendship, and are clamouring for
the proeluaion of private correspondence :--
Surely, they can have no claim to tender treat-
ment or gentle language from their opponents.
They assert, however, in their defence, that
the PRINCE REGENT- has departed from the pi in-
eiples of his early friends; and they give a long
list of the names of the Noblemen and Gentletoen
who call themselves, most absurdly, the Whig
Party ;—we say absurdly, because there is scarcely
a single principle which they hold In common. with
the Whigs at the time of the Revolution. We are,
however, told that while his Royal Highness associat-
ed with the Members of the new Whig Party, " He
was the true Whig representative of that family which,
for its attachment to those rights, was rewarded by
the people of England with their Crown." Amore
ridiculous misrepresentation of what passed at the
Revolution never, we believe, before appeared in
print. Where these Gentlemen got this historical
information we really do not know; it certainly is
not from any source that is open to the public. We,
therefore, beg that they will inform us where they
find it stated that the Elearess'SOPlllA was rewarded
with the succession to the Crown of this Realm, be-
cause she was a Whig ! ! ! Hitherto, we have been
led to believe that the House of Hanover succeeded to
theTli; one as next Protestant heirs, the family of the
STUARTS having been expelled for having attempted'
to introduce the Ronan- Catholic Religion. We
understood also, that the Whigs at the Revo-
lution stated that as one of the principal. grounds
of the condu6t which they adopted upon that
occasion. Now, we should be glad to ask,
whether the PRINCE REGENT has, iti any one in-
stance since his assumption of the Sovereign Power,
departed, from those principles which have been
uniformly professed and maintained since the ac-
cession of his Family to the Throne ? By those
principles be was bound to preserve our civil
liberties, and to maintain the Protestant Reli-
gion. His Royal Highness has adhered to them,
and therefore he has become the object of obloquy
with the mothrri Whigs. They these chosen to
espouse the Roman Catholic cause, because they
think that by means of the Catholics they may
force themselves into power. It is the Party,
therefore, and not the'REGENT, that has abandOneci
their principles; it is the Party who want to un-
do all that was clone at the Revolution ; it is
the Party who want to destroy all the guards
which -the Whigs at that period established for
the
.security of the Protestant Religion. It
is really too much to hear men accusing the
PRINCE REGENT Of a dereliction of principles, who
have themselves not only abandoned all the princi-
ples which distinguished the Party, the name of
which they think proper to assume, but Italie within
a few months completely changed their opinion
upon a point which they admitted was of the highest
importance to the security of our Establishments
both in Church and State.

The Morning Herald of Monday last,.contained a
paragraph, stating, that Lord GRENVILLE had, about
eight months ago, abjured the Protestant Religion at
the feet of Mr. O'CoNNoR, the Marchioness of
Iitj.CKINGHAN'S Confessor, in the Catholic Chapel,
at Stowe. The Morning Chronicle of this day
contradiets the statement, as tar as it relates to Lord
GRENVILLE, irorn authority.

Lord BORINGDON'g motion on the PRINCE RE..
GENT'S letter, we are assured, will positively be
broughtJorward to-morrow in the House of Lords.
