Funds do not, at the present premium of Company's Paper,
yield more. Considering then the immense wealth of natives,
who have no safe alternative:to obtain income but the Govern-
ment funds and landed property, it may fairly'be inferred that
-the-latter will rapidly approximate, 'if not reach, the value of
such property in England. Good freehold property 'there is
worth 25 years' purchase, or an estate producing 1001. per an-
num sells for 2,5001.' Agreeable to this calculation, landed
property in India, netting Sa. Rs. 1,000 per annum, is worth
6a. Its. 25,000, which will, we are aware, appear exaggerated
in comparison with the average of Indian purchases hitherto,
but we shall be thankful to any one who will take the trouble
to convince us why it is not, under every view of security,
worth it,—or to what extent it sinks below the-English scale
to the inhabitants of India, if not so valuable to Europeans:
our opinion is, that eligible landed' property will rise much be..
yond its present price, and approach as nearly as our funds do
to the English standard, and that which returns 1,0001. per
annum will be worth at least 20,000/.—.(Calcutta-lf. Journal.)

ALGIERS.

The following is an extract of a Letter from
the Agents to LLOYD'S, at Versailles, dated 21th
February : •

" You will no doubt have been apprised, by more direct op-
portunities, of the Algerines having declared war against Great
Britain on the 31st January, and his Majesty's Consul, with
his family, having consequently left that port, for Malta,' on
board the Naiade frigate. We have this -morning advises
from Malta, so late as the 14th instant, by which we learn,
that Vice-Admiral Sir 11. NEALE had already sailed from
thence.for Algiers, taking with him the Naiade, and leaving
directions for all other ships of war, es they might coma' in, to
follow him thither without anchoring. The Consul had em-
barked with the Admiral.—Of the force of the Algerine squad-
ron, no* at sea, we have no correct accounts, but they are said
to consist of two frigates, two corvettes, and several small ves-
sels ; and about the flthinstant were cruizing off the coast of
Spain, having captured. a Spanish fishing-vessel near Bene-
dormi. We understand that all the British merchant vessels
at Gibraltar, bound up the Mediterranean, ware waiting there
for convoy.

[Extract of a Letter from the British Vice-Consul and Agent
to Lloyd's at Almeira, dated 9tlt February.]
" By the arrival of a Coaster from Carthagena, it is reported
that the Master of an English schooner, (put into that port on
the 6th instant,) declared that a Moorish frigate and a brig
captured off Cape St. Antonio, on the coast of Valencia, an
English brig laden with barilla, from Carthagena: little credit
is given to this news."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We extract the following from tha &ode o
yesterday, received this forenoon by Ex press :

MADRID,Vro;n the _Voile of yeetpriary.]
FEn. '27 .—(COurier Extraordinary.)
—The Councillors of State, who are permitted to
retire, are fourteen.

By the Decree of his Majesty, dated Port St.
Mary, of the Ist October, his Majesty declared
null and void all Acts of the heretofore Consti-
tutional Government, sincr the 7th March 1820;
and his Majesty, thinking it proper that his sub-
jects should not suffer by the suspension and
delay of administration of justice, has decreed
the following :
ART. 1. All proceedings commenced in the
Tribunals, in the first instance, and•in which no
definitive sentence has been passed, shall be con-
tinued.

2. Those exempted are the causes which are
called " notorious injustice," which shall be re-
ported to the Council of State.

3. Exempted all sentences which have been
given against my true, subjects who were absent
to serve a legitimate cause.
4. There shall be annulled all sentences in
which the property of my true (defenseurs) have
been confiszated, and their property shall be
immediately restnred.

5. There shall also be annulled all sentences
against ecclesiastics or the military, who have
been judged by the former Cortes.
PARIS, MARCH 4.—A Telegraphic Dispatch
announces that the frigate 7'hetig, commanded by
Baron Bougainville, has sailed from Brest on
the 2d of this month, for the Isle of Bourbon, to
join the corvette Esperance. From thence they
►ill proceed to the Indian Seas and to China.—
Lord Grenville, Ambassador from England to the
Netherlands, arrived at Brussels on thy lit of
March.

The Parliament in France will be Septennial,
and will be analogous to that of England. The
radicalism at London and the liberalism at saris
will be represented by twenty members, which
is nearly the same proportion in which the two
revolutionary parties hnd themselves in these two
countries.

His Majesty heard Mass in his apartment.

Private letters from Zante state, that continued
success attends the Greeks, and that every thing
was assuming a settled form, which gives a cha-
racter of solidity to the new institutions, the
power, and the recovered independence of their
Country.

The elections of the small colleges, or colleges
of arrondissement, in France, are terminated ; and
only 16 Opposition candidates have been, returned
out of the number, 258, composing nearly two-
thirds of the whole Chamber. 'the remaining
portion of the Deputies are elected by the col-
leges of department, or great colleges, and as
these are composed of a fourth part of the elec-
tors who pay the highest direct taxes, there is
little chance that the 172 members which they
return will contain so great a proportion of Li-
berals. Probably the whole of the Opposition
►n the Representative Body in France will thus
be limited to about 20 or 22 tnembera.—Should
this prove the case, which is not improbable, a
tolerably correct idea may be formed of the ex

vernment, end of its exercise over the whole

this morning.

MAtutET.—The Market opened in
Mexicali Bonds at 8, but afterwards they fell to
7a. A report prevails that aiwther Mexican
Loan will soon make its appearailc'e.

The opposition offered to the new commercial
projects of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
is already so formidable, that Mr. CANNING, Mr.
PEEL, and 11r,. 11USKISSOY, as. well as 'Mr.
RonissoN himself, felt it necessary to take
part in the debate to which the preset'.
tation of Petitions .against the proposed
measures gave rise last night in the House
of Commons. We think it scarcely . pos-
sible, for Ministers to persevere in an attempt at
carrying the threatened hazardous experiments
into effect. The country was in a state of uni-
versal contentment and of progressive prosperity ;
and

Cabinet ; but these ominous propositions have,
in a moment, excited universal discontentment,—
the utmost consternation and dismay amongst
the whole population of Certain important dis.
tricts,—and a feeling, which Miukters may rest
assured is only the .precursor of a settled
and inveterate hostility to any set of men
by whom projects so
jruinous in their nature
may be persisted in.—Let them at least delay
another Session, before they venture further
upon the alarming course which they have j
marked out ; and we will be bold enough to
assure them that the result of a' deliberate in-
quiry, if they think fit that an inquiry shall be
instituted, will he not only the complete estab-
lishment of the impolicy of the 'intended ntra•
sures, on the particular merits of the cases which
they respectively embrace, but an irrefragable
refutation and exposure even of the genera!-pan
ciple on which they are advocated, and which
can easily be proved to he as fallacious nnd ab-
surd in theory as it is utterly incapable of appli-
cation in practice.

The more %TN consid.r the STA TR PAPER.% ,

confidence in the foreign policy of a Coverninent

intelligence was brought, Mr. Canning was in the House, Mr.
C:Ellys, Mr. Canning's I'rivate secretary, imparted the infor-
mation to Mr. Huskisson, and Air. H. took Mr. C. out of the
House previously to imparting the of news. When Mr.
Canning learnt the fatal fact, he was vissibly and greatly af-
fected. He hastily quitted the lobby, and proceeded with very
irregular steps to Mr.Ellis's carriage, which had been called in
the temporary
absence of .Mr. Canning's. The Marquis
' of Titchheld was the independent Member for King's .I..y.nn.
He took his seat on the lower ~Opposition" benches. His oc-

• though delivered with some diffidence, dia-
-1 played considerable talent, and that rare quality, good sense.—
1 lie sternly adhered to his principles, and when Mr. Canning
gained his present distinguished power, the Marquis promptly
wrote to his constituents, assuring them "that though his uncle
bad come into power, he should not change his principles." He
had an ezeellent character, and was much esteemed by his rela-
tives in particular, and by all who knew him.
It affords us great satisfaction to state that the
Ship Lady Campbell, Captain BETit.km, on which
were aboard Major-General Sir T. Pitt-rzt.za
and family, and numerous -other passengers, has
arrived out in India, and reached her ultimate
destination at Calcutta, on the T3d of December
last.

It is reported, that there is great difficulty in
procuring Seamen for the•-Outward bound East
lndiamen now in the River.

The following circumstance recently occurred
at Sheerness :—A convict belonging to one of the
hulks at that port, who was to be discharged,
had contracted a debt with a fellow prisoner
amounting to five pounds, and which, of course,
he was unable to liquidate, notwithstanding his
repeated. promises so to do. • On the m, orninc-of
his release, he, however, when quitting the ship,
gave to his creditor a piece of paper, in which
something was carefully wrapped up, rather
weighty, and bearing every appearance of be-
ing the • amount of his debt. The unsuspect-
ing prisoner, not doubting the truth of the
old adage " Bonour among thieves,"• care-
fully deposited in his pocket.: the gift, and at
the first convenient opportunity examined its con-
tents. There were several folds of the paper,
and his chagrin may be easily conceived when, on •
arriving at the last, he found not five sovereigns,.
as he fondly expected, but- five farthings ! Before
this discovery took the fellow who had
been guilty of this dishonest and ungrateful-
action,.had completely left the place.

SENTEN-CE on- CONNOLLY and MORAN.

We stop the Press to state that .
we received
the Sentence on CONNOLLY and Mon-IN at a
very late hour this day. The former it to be
transported for life, and the latter is con-
signed for six months in the House of Correction.

HERTFORD, PRpAy, MAncil 5.
ALLEGED MURDER. AT RA nLE y_H ous a

' The interest excited'. by the expected trials of the persons
committed for the alleged murder of James Grainge, at Itabley-
house, was considerably lessened by the returns made on the
several hills of indictment sent up to the Grand Jury yester-
day. By nine o'clock, however, the Coutt was crowded,' but
there was little expression of anxiety or curiosity in tile persona
who composed the auditory ; indeed, little more was observable
in the town than on ordinary occasions.
At half-past eight o'clock, Captain (for Surgeon) Connolly
and Mrs. Browne were conveyed in a post-chaise front 'the
prison to the court-house. Travers, Moran,"and Amelia Mor-
gan' were conveyed on foot, under an escort of javelin-men.
At nine o'clock Mr. Justice BEST entered the Court, when
a petit Jury was immediately sworn, and the trials of JiiingS
Beim, Jolto Snzith, and Luke Be idcland, were called ots (for
which see behiw): this produced evident disappointment in
the Court, but was considered as an indication that,the trials of
the first mentioned prisoners would not occupy a long time.
Ott inquiry we learned that the delay was occas:ornal by a
proceeding of rather an unsual nature. The bills of indtet-
ment laid before the Grand Jury yesterday, and on width they
made the returns, were much blotted, scratched, obliterated,
and interlined a in consequence of which it was deemed im-
portant for. the ends of justice that fresh hills of indictment
against Patrick Connolly, &c. should be sent up to the Grand
1 Jury, which was done accordingly at nine o'clock this day.
Witnesses were brought before them, and at a quarter to eleven
o'clock, the Grand Jury appeared in Court, and returned a
true bill against Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran for man-
slaughter.
At a quarter past eleven o'clock the five prisoners were
brought to the bar in the following order :—Elizabeth Bromine,
Amelia II forgan, Patrick Connolly, Hugh Moran, and. Ed.
ward Travel s. Mrs. Browne is a respectable-looking woman,
of a good person, but, not very handsome. She wore a black
brninet, veil, and feathers, and a silk shawl, and approached.
the bar without the slightest appearance of alarm or trepidation.
Amelia Morgan was a little afrected. Mr. Connolly was
dressed in black ; his demeanour-evinced a portion cf anxiety,
but he was quite collected. In the appearance of the.- other
prisoners (Hush Moran and Edward Tra.yers) there no-
thing remarkable.
The prisoners were then arraigned tinder the verdict of the
Coroner's Inquisition, for the wilfultmueder of James Grainge,
at llabley-house, in the county of iltrtfard, on the 3lstnc
December lest ; to which indictment the prisoners severally
pleaded " Not Guilty."
Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran were then indicted fir
manslaughter of the said James Grainge, at the time and
place already mentioned.
The Jury wereethert sworn.
Mr. Knapp, Clerk of the Arraigns, then stated theindictmant
against the prisoners
Mr. serjeant TADDY then proceeded to state the case for the
prosecution,• but wax interrupted by
Mr. Dovi.taut, Counsel for the prisoners, who objected to
the Coroner's Inquisition on the ground of informality', it hay-
Mg been signed by eleven cf the Jurors only. The Leaned
Gentleman cited several cases in support of the. objection, and
argued further, that the wound was not described with ant-
cient precision. The words used were, " about two inches and
a half:" but the law required that the wound should have heels
more fully anti accurately stated.
Mr. A DOLP t a followed on the same si,lo, and. quoted Other
cases in support of the objection to the•influisition.
Mr. Justice MET adnattell that it was necessary that a Co-
roner's Jury should consist of 12 persons.
Mr. ADOLPHUS then contended that the inquisition must
bear the signatures of each and every of the 12 jurors, without
which
„proof of that number having been actually sworn upon
'such inquest, it must be presumed mat the law requiring the,
presence of such number of jurors had pot been complied with.

3ir. Justice BEsT said, it was desirable that these matters
should be fixed by Act of Parlianfent ; but, until they were,
the law, as it stood at present, must be complied with: The
Learned-Judge stated his opinion, that the word " about" was
too indefinite and uncertain, even in a special demurrer; and
surely that which could not be maintained in a special &limner,
must not be admitted in a criminal case of so much importance

and the trials of Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran, for man-
slaughter, was ordered to be proceeded. with.

Serjeant Terme- stated the case for the prosecution,
doing which he found it necessary to enter into some detaile of
occurrences which took place previous to the date of the corn-
inimsion of the crime for which the prisoners were then on their
trial. It would appear that the prisoner Connolly had been
assist.-surgeon in the city of Dublin artillery, and subsequently ,
resided in Regent-street, London. It would also appear that a
verdict for the MAUI of 240/. with'costs, amounting in the whole
to upwards of 500/., had been obtained against Connolly by a
person of the name of Andrews. That strict search was
made for the prisoner in order to enforce payment of that
verdict, hut which search was for some time inettlctual ; at
length it was discovered that the prisoner was living and conceal-.
evien Rabley-house, in the county of Hertford, and thither cer-
tain persons went for the purpose of arresting him, and in whisk
the transactions then about to be investigated-bad their origin.

11 where a warrant was addressed generally to a constable,, which
did not authorize him to execute it out of his own jurisdiction ;
but in the present instance the case was ditierent, as the con- f*
stable was specially authorized to execute it in the perish. In •
Curtie's case, which war to be found in Foster, page,
there was a difference of opinion between the Judges, nine of
them holding it to be sufficient to describe the warrant gene-
rally to entitle them to force an entry. In the present case tho
prisoner hail been made fully aware of the authority by which
the officers were armed ; yet he resisted, and the consequent
death of Grainge was undoubtedly manslaughter, and man-
slaughter, too, of the most aggravated &etre:Leer, approaching
closely to the confines of murder. The Learned ttierecant then
stated the law as applicable to lodgers and their rights, ap-
plying them to the case of the prisoner Connolly, who. was 1;ot
the owner of, but merely a visitor or lodger ineltableyellouee.
He would not trouble the Jury witivany further observations,
but should proceed to call witnesses to prove the case which he
had stated. The persons concerned in the prosecution had no
object in view but the attainment anti furtherance of public
justice, and let the verdict of the Jury be what it might, they
would be satisfied.
Witnesses were then called ; but their evidence was so simi-
lar to that already published in the report of the Inquest, that
it is not necessary to repeat it.
Mr. Connolly was then called upon for his defence, and he
put in a statement which was read by Mr. KNAPP. Ile then
called the following witnesses :
Thomas Locke, head borough of Ridge, proved distinctly that
the warrant was never read, and diet Dignam had effered
251., to be divided between himself and the other constables, if
he would break open the house and secure Mr. O'Connolly.
Mr. Walrnsley, a Middlesex sheriff's officer, proved that
Mr. Stevens had applied to him to execute a warrant against
Mr. Connolly, in Hertfbrdshire, which he refused totio.
The Learned JUDGE thought this wa.-; inadmissible evidence-
uptin the issue which the Jury had to try—namely, the ques-
tion whether the death of the deceased had been unlawfully
occasioned.

Captain Nestor proved that Mr. Connolly had been an in-
mate in his house at Rabley for three months previous to this
transaction. The door which the Sheriff 's officer had attempted
to enter was the outer door of the house, which was only pro-
tected by external shutters. He had known Mr. Connolly
for 14 years, and he always bore the character of a humane,
peaceable, and kind-hearted man. The prisoner Moran had
been five years in his sersice prior to December last, and he
was a quiet and innofensive man.
Mr. Kimpton, the surveyor, produced a model of Rabley_
house, which was made under his direction ; and he had no
hesitation in saying that the back door at which Watson had
attempted to enter was the outlier door.'
Sir Matthew Tierney, Dr..Boyton, Mr. Carpue, Lieutenant
Montgomery, Lieutenant Armstrong, Lieutenant Medlieott,
Lieutenant Jones, Lieutenant Fletcher, Lientenant Ilauton-
vile, and several other witnesses, many of whom had known
Mr. Conolly for the last,l4 years, spoke- in the highest terms of
his character, as a humane, kind-hearted, good tempered man.
He was in every respect a man of honthir and a gentleman.
The case for the defence being closed,
Mr. Justice BEST summed up the ease:
The Jury, after deliberating a feW minutes, found both pri--
soners Guilty of Manslaughter.

DAILY
Extracts fconz the Morning Papers, March 6.

[TII E TIMES.]
The Papers relating to the affairs of Spain and
the ultra-marine States, which we published yes-
terday, are interesting ; and we may also add,
as we do with great pleasure, that, as far as they
go, they are not unsatisfactory. We know not
how soon or how late the inhabitants of South
America, who hare effected their liberation from
-4panish bondage, may establish tranquillity at
home : but of this we are certain—that they
ha-ve already worked out for themselves a degree
of consideration abroad, which renders the course
of the free Governments of the world extremely
easy with respect to them. They have establish-
ed, beyond all doubt, the proposition that their
recovery by the parent state is impossible. This
they have done for themselves by their own arms ;
and, after such au achievement, they may justly
expect, and have a right to claim, that alien
Powers should not take upon themselves to deli-
berate respecting their condition without the pre-
sence and concurrence of South American Pleni-
poientiaries,—that a club of politicians should
not assemble in a foreign capital to dictate to
them what use they should make of that inde-
pendence which themselves have won. From
such conferences the British Government, there-
fdre, with great propriety, abstains, as will have
appeared by the note of Mr. Canning's conference
with Prince Polignac. We have already joined
in too many of these conferences, in which, if our
presence has done no other harm, it has at least
excited the suspicion that we were actuated by no
more just and equitable principles than the chief
personages in those scenes; and that though we
did not co-operate, we sanctioned the iniquities
that were perpetrated, as the result of the confer-
ences, upon Piedmont, upon Naples, and on the
Peninsula.—The Prince de Polignac " cannot
" conceive what can be meant, under the present
" circumstances, by a pure and simple acknow-
" ledgment of the independence of the Spanish
" colonies, since those countries being actually
(or at present, we presume, actuellement)
dis-
tracted by civil wars, there exists no Govern-
" ment in them which can offer any appearance
"of solidity," &c. &c. We will tell the Prince,
therefore, what is meant by the acknowledgment
of the independence of States in such a condition.
It is an acknowledgment of their right " to be
" distracted by civil wars" among themselves, if
they cannot agree, provided only they preserve
their external relations unbroken, and abstain
from interferine; in the concerns of foreign States.
And we will add, that it has been the refusal to
acknowledge this very species of independence,
which has led to all the unjust and barbarous ag-
gressions of modern times. The dissensions in
Poland were made the pretext for the invasion
and partitioning of that unhappy kingdom. But
Poland was contiguous to the dominions of the
invading Powers. No contiguity or proximity
can be alleged in palliation of interfering by arms
in the concerns of the Buenos Ayres Government,
or in those of Mexico and Peru.

[MORNING CH RONICLE.
We wish Mr. Canning, when presenting to the
House the Communications with France and
Spain relative to South America, had stated how
matters actually stand at this time. We alluded
yesterday to the blank with respect to the in-
terval which has elapsed since Mr. Canning's
Answer to Count Ofalia's Note,—during which
dispatches have been received from Madrid.—
Our readers will see, from our Parliamentary
Report, that the Marquess of Lansdown, who
has given notice of a motion for an Address to
his Majesty, praying that he would be pleased
to recognise the Governments of South Ame-
rica, intimated that he would, on Monday night,
ask some questions, in his place, with a view
to obtain the information which these Papers
did not supply, as there must be other Papers
connected with them which had not been pro-
duced. He particularly stated, that he wished
to ask some questions relative to the answer to
Mr. Secretary Canning's last dispatch, and rela-
tjve to the answers received from any other
powers to any communications to them from the
Government of this country, on the subject of
South America.—The sooner this information is
communicated the better, because, although Mr.
Canning's language in the protocol and in the
dispatch is sufficiently explicit with respect to
the part the Government of thin country meana to
take', no little anxiety is entertained as to the part
lvhich the other Governments mean to take. To
use Mr. Canning's own words, " The trade (be-
tween this country and Spanish America) has
grown gradually to such an extent as to 'require
direct protection," and the sooner the anxiety,
natural where such powerful interests are con-
cerned, is removed, the better. We do not, for
our parts, entertain any great dread of the ef-
forts of the Holy Alliance in the New World, if
England and the United States keep true to
each other, but we know that advantage is
taken of the want of -authentic information, to
circulate reports, by which the fortunes of in-
dividuals may he affected. For instance, it
is confidently 'stated that Colonel Freemantle
who was to have proceeded to Mexico, has been
countermanded by Government, in consequence
Olhis mission having been misconstrued, into the,
holding out hopes to the Mexicans.—(See TnE
SiJN of •We-dn'estlay last.) —We confess we '
are not inclined to think so unfavourably of
Ministers, as that they would allow themselves
to be turned aside by any considerations of this
nature. Having connected themselves to a de.
cidetHine of -policy by the communications to
countermanding of Colonel Free-
mantle must have a cause entirely independent
of WhiaeverhasTefeTence to other powers. We
are inilined•to believe that Miniiters are 'Waiting
for infornralion frOin -Mexico, to allow them-to
giferaloee'iiiipOrtant character to the Mission of
colonel Ireeinantle.

yesterday in the City, brought accounts only
to Tuesday evening, as from the state of
the weather they were detained one day
longer than usual. The private letters state,
that an advance of more than one per cent.

and the latest price quoted is 104 f. 40c. to 50c.

day in Paris.—ln our Foreign Market some ex-

the afternoon, that the expected Leeward Island
Mail had at length arrived, and brought over
Col. Hamilton, who, it is stated, is to act as one
of the Commissioners in the negociating of the
new Colombian Loan. What effect this gentle-
men's presence may have, we do not know ; but
the mere rumour of his arrival caused an advance
in the price of the Bonds from 67+ to 70, the
last price being 6942.---Chilean Bonds were
also higher.

We are happy to see that the Irish Govern-
ment has superseded the necessity of Sir John
Newport's motion respecting the rights of burial
by the Catholics in Ireland ; and that Mr. Plun-
kett, the Irish Attorney-General, on Thursday
stated his intention to introduce a Bill, which
would meet the views of the Catholics and their
friends. The Right lion. Gentleman stated his
intention to move for the repeal of the Act of the
9th of William, which precludes the Catholic
people of Ireland from rendering the last reli-
gious rites to the departed,or their clergy perform-
ing the funeral service within Protestant church-
yards. This question, within the last year, has creat-
ed alarming discontents in Ireland,—it has called
up the bitterest feelings. The rights of sepulture
are generally respected among all nations, and by
no people more strongly than by the warm-
hearted Irish. The recent interruptions given to
their clergy, when offering up the prayer for
mercy over the grave of the departed, were at
once uncharitable, unchristian, and unholy. The
Act of William was one of those proscriptive
statutes, enacted in defiance of the Treaty of
Limerick, and in violation of all faith. The Le-
gislature of that day sought to heap proscription
and degradation on thelrish Catholics, in every
possible way : not satisfied with depriving them
of all rights of property and all civil possessions,
they endeavour to exclude them from even the
peaceful refuge of the grave. We could cite one
or two most unjustifiable instances of the uncha-
ritable interference of the Protestant clergy,occur-
ing some time since, in the south of Ireland. In one
instance, we remember the presentßomanCatholic
Dean of Cork, Dr. Collins, a most exemplary
clergyman, in the church-yard of St. Finbar's, in
that city, was rudely interrupted during the
funeral service by the then Dean of the Diocese,
or by his orders. Dr. Magee hai since risen,
through the patronage of Mr. Plunkett, to the
archi-episcopal mitre of Dublin, and has exhibit-
ed since his elevation more than the supercilious
pride of the haughty Beckett. The Catholics,
since his rise, have had to complain of the deepest
insults, received over the graves of their friends.
Dr. Magee's advocates have denied that they
occurred with his sanction ; but would his name
have been used unless he authorised it

[MORNING POST.]
The explanation which the Earl of Liverpool.
gave on Tuesday evening in the House of Lords
respecting the repeal of the Bounties on Linen
has not, we confess, tended to remove the doubts
we lately expressed as to the effect of that mea-
sure. Without repeating here the general argu-
ments against bounties which we stated upon the
occasion alluded to, ere may be allowed to say,
that as those on the exportation of fine linen
are to remain unimpaired, and those on coarse
only to be withdrawn, the policy of this pro-
ceeding, in the actual situation of Ireland, de-
serves the most serious consideration. The Earl of
Liverpool is understood to have said, that as the for-
mer description of cloth was now largely ex ported
to foreign countries, it appeared impolitic to repeal
the bounties to which it had been so long en-
titled, however fallacious the principle might be
on which they were granted ; but that as the
latter description of cloth was used entirely for
domestic consumption, the same objection did not
apply to the repeal of the bounties on it. May
wu take the liberty of remarking, if we do not
• mistake the nature of the subject, that the facts
thus announced would seem to us, in such a chain
of difficulties, to suggest the continuance of the
bounties on coarse rather than on fine linen.
When paid on the latter, we in reality give.
• a bonus to foreigners for purchasing our manufac-
ture, and so much is lost to the country totally ;
but when paid upon an article of home consump-
tion exclusively, whatever loss or gain there may
be is our own ; and in effect the transaction
merely amounts to this, that one part of the com-
munity subscribes a certain sum annually for the
encouragement of industry among another portion
of their•fellow subjects. If this be so, let us
next inquire who that class are that are lienefitt-ed
by the application of the bounties on coarse
linen ? They 'are the poor of Ireland—and
exactly the inhabitants of those parts of the sister
country where the promotion of industrious habits
'is so necessary, notonly to improve the condition
:of the people, but to previtit the recurrence of
such direful and fatal visitations of famine'
'and peitilitice as 'Engltihd was called upon
two years - ago to mitigate by its benevolent
!contributions. •Fine linens are the produce of the
North of Ireland, and we 'think we are -wa-r-
-'ranted in adding, have not.yet been manufactured
with any success, or to -any extent for public sale,
sin the other three Provinces. Coarse linen's, on

'AEind:the'prbeigs !mine:Outing is•both.'
. easy in itself an.d'known'iltrtitigh all its details to

the whole population. All, therefore, which is
wanted, for the purpose of rendering this branch
of industry universal among the lower Irish is to
encourage it, and this, in our opinion, may be
done in two concurrent modes. The first and
perhaps the most efficacious, as well as natural,
should proceed from the exertions of the bet-
ter classes in Ireland, who, in their respec-
tive local jurisdictions, as landlords and country
Gentlemen, possess the best opportunities of in-
troducing and fostering home-made manufactures
among the poor Irish peasantry. The second
mode appears to us to be legislative support,
which, in the needy condition of the sister coun-
try, seems to us absolutely indispensable, even
with the view of seconding the other mode, and
maturing the efforts thereby made. Upon these
points, too, we think we may add, thatno difference
of sentiment or judgment will be found throughout
Great Britain. But hence another question
arises, namely, as to the most judicious man-
ner of affording legislative encouragement to the
promotion of industry among the poor Irish. For
our own part we do not pretend to assert posi-
tively that bounties upon coarse linen is pre-
ferable to all other descriptions of aid which
Parliament can give, but we certainly should
lament its withdrawal, unless another mode as
good, if not better, were substituted in its
stead. If, at the same time, in thus stating
the impressions which have been made on our
minds, we have indulged in a considerable lati-
tude of remark, the knowledge we possess
of the profound and anxious interest which
his Majesty's Ministers take in the wel-
fare of the Sister Country, will, we hope,
prove our excuse, if not our justification. In
Great Britain Manufactures of all sorts seem in-
digenous, and have now become so vigorous and
flourishing as to undergo almost any change of
treatment with impunity. In Ireland, however,
every branch of industry appears to be of exotic
tenderness, and to require the utmost circum-
spection in managing it, lest the very means
employed to promote its health and prosperity
should on the contrary prove its destruction.
For these reasons we feel the strongest solicitude
respecting the Irish Linen Manufacture, which is
not only the root of all the traffic which that
island at present carries on, but the disseminator
of civilization among its inhabitants, and one of
the surest bonds for preserving tranquillity in that
part of the United Kingdom.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Yesterday we presented to our readers certain
papers relating to South America. We some
time since gave it as our opinion, that the French
Government were insincere in their decla-
rations ; that their object was to gain time to
hood-wink England—to prevent her from ac-
knowledging, in the first instance, the inde-
peedeeee of South America ; and, secondly, to
throw her off her guard, and prevent her sending
a Naval or Military force to that quarter.
In fact, to play a similar gam* to that which
they played in the affair of Spain—make every
profession of a pacific nature, in order to quiet
our fears, while they prepared a sufficient force
to take possession of the bone in prospective, and
then say to England, << Put us out of the posses-
sion of it if youcato The French Government
served us that trick in the Spanish affair, and it
is more than probable that they are exerting all
their ingenuity to deceive us, and to keep us
'quiet till they have assembled a sufficient force
at Cuba, or the French and Spanish West India
Islands, and then seize such portions of the South
American a
esesterritoryittle p t
as they think most likely
to Of course, the thing will
previously be well Prepared by the influence of
the Catholic Priests in South America, and
bribes will be offered to, and probably in some
cases accepted, by the South American Consti-
tutional General'. If they succeeded in cor-
rupting only a few of them, the Constitutional
cause would, ea iii Spain, be first paralysed, and
then possibly lost• Whether she will succeed
in this case, as well as she succeeded in the
other, remains to be seen. Some of our con
temporaries effect to believe that, because
Count Polignac made such solemn assurances to
Mr. Canning, of the determination of France
to remain neuter, that Count Polignac and the
French Government are to be believed—that
their words are to be held sacred. Now we do
not agree with our contemporaries; nor, if we can
judge from the general manner in which Mr.
Canning treated the Count', professions, do we
think that lie entertains a higher opinion of the
sincerity of those professions than we do. In fact,
we could almost fancy Mr. Canning smiling in
the Count's face, and saying to himself " Deceive
me this time if you can. Your master gulled me
before, when he talked about his sanatory cordon,
its cordon of observation, and the trip of these
cordons to Madrid and Cadiz just to restore Fer-
dinand, and the moment that it was accomplished,
to return to France ; but it won't do CountPolignac
(we can fancy Mr. Canning saying to himself),
to endeavour to deceive me twice. Instead of
paying the least attention to your proposal for
having any thing to do with a conference at
Paris, to which Austria, Russia, and France,
shall be parties, I will cut the matter short, by
saying, that we will be no party to any of your
conferences, and if the Holy Alliance choose to
meet to concert measures for restoring King Fer-
dinand ,or his relatives, whether Spanish or French
Bourbon Princes, to monarchical power in South
America, they may meet in Paris for that pur-
pose ; but of this we give you notice, that if
they do, and take any measure for again get-
ting hold of these countries, either in the name
of Spain, or under any pretence of the Holy
Alliance, we, England, will first acknowledge
the independence of these Colonies, and if,
after we 'have doe,! so, Spain should take one
of our ships trading to that part of the world,
we will take a Spanish ship of superior value, and
keep her safe in an English port till the other
other vessel be returned." This, we have no doubt
is the way that Mr. Canning and our Cabinet
reasoned on -this question. We cannot imagine,
that they can have the least belief in French pro-.
fessions, after they -were•so deluded in the affair
Of-Spain. The determination put•forth by Nr.
canning, in, these State Documents is 'wise.
