• [THE TIMES
The motion of bis Grace tho.] Duke of Devon-
.
shire an Thursday, which went substantially to
pledge the House of Lords to the consideration
of effectual remedies for the Morbid and revolt-
ing state of Ireland, was 'opposed acid' thrown
out by the King's Delinisfers: introduced with
no common ability, by a 'Nobleman of the highest
rank'and most amiable character— one of the most
•
extensive and esteemed proprietors in that coun-
try, who has, and can have no interest to promote,
but inch us belongs to the whole Irish nation—his
Gracv's resolutions were powerfully supported by
Lortll..ansdown, 'also an Irish -proprietor, and
a !Nobleman qualified beyond most others to
legislate for the, land of his possessions. This
•rjse and useful vote was still more forcibly re-'
cpfnmended by the wit, the reasoning, and elo-
ponce of Lord Holland, who may or miy not
owner of an .Irish estate, but who has
vs.tablished for himself, by an unvarying course
of consistent and independent conduct in Parlia-
ment, a claim' to be naturalized in every free
state of the world, and to be' looked up to as the
• -vititlicator of justice and sound policy wherever
thpre are wrongs to be redressed. We cannot
yet. fully understand the principle on' which
Ministers opposed the resolution. The horrible
state of,the country they could not deny,
and did not. That there was, to borrow

the, words of the Duke, of Devonshire,
4 sole material defect in, the state and admi-
" nistration of the laws" of I reland, no proof need
be required beyond this—that such a law as the
Insurrection Act now finds a place among them.
'Where a remedy So corroding and so cutting is
resorted to, will any honest man deny that the
disease must be inveterate anti foul ? When a
remedy so fierce in its operation proves fruitless,
as is incontrovertibly the case with the InSurrec.
tion Act, since the malady spreads'while the Act
continues, can any human Witt* of sense or prin-
ciple deny that it is the bounden. duty of Par-
liament to investigate, at least, the expediency
of a different application'' Ministers, God for•
give them! talk as if their whole duty had
been discharged, when the fear of some terrible
alternative extorted from them on certain
occasions a grant of money for the use of ire.
land, or the repeal of an oppressive law. Lord
Bathurst d Lord Maryborough boast of the
boons bestowed on Ireland since the Union—so
many thousands for this work, so many for that;
but take away the spirit of jobbing from each
transaction, and let any one judge whether or not
it would have been completed. Take away,
also, from the sums, voted, the amount plundered
or misapplied, end see how much remains of
these 44 boons." It is provoking to find men in
the place of Ministers, and exercising power and
patronage as such, whose language implies that
they are ignorant of the first obligation rrml
by every servant of the public--namely, that 'of
acting for the public good.

[monNilsio eunoNteee.l
Things are advancing rapidly iu this country
to 'a state that IntiSt give satisfaction even to the
Quakers. Vormerly we were the most busy
meddling people in the world, ready to fight for
any thing or for nothing, fora smuggler's ear, for
Nootka Sound, for a pragmatic sanction, for the
opening of the Scheldt, for the liberivtion of the
l'ope—ht short, no quarrel ever came amiss to
tts ; and we were as ready-to pay others for fight-
leg as to fight ourselves. A German Baron could
not even invade his neighbour's sour krout grounds
but we would take him, to task for it. So jealous
were we of the balance of power, that a feather
take', from one scale and put into another
,have thrown us into agitation. -Now,
'however, times are sadly changed. Now half a
dormer kingdoms may he invaded at a. time, while
we Ip9k on with a happy indifference. We have
attained the perfection which jean Jacques
Rousseau a'signes to time philosopher, who, when
Ire. ears fire bawled out in the streets, opens his
whitlow, pokes out his head, and seeing that the
fire is too far off to reach him, coolly draws in his
bead and shuts his window. Net matter what
the cause_ of aggressitin, it Is enough that we
ourselves are suffered to remain in a whole skin.
With respect to the affair of Wurtetnburg, the
phlegm of Mr. Canning yea amazing. That
Gentleman, who at one time was quite a Draw.
(=sir, talks now of our having no interest except
as spectators in the quarrel which the Holy Allies
have ccuttrived to pick with the Sovereign of the
State in question. I t is nothing that Wurtemberg js
a wellTgovierned free Protestant State—that the
ground of quarrel is that the King will not con•
sent to deprive his subjects of the freedom se-
cured to them by their Coustitution. We have
no interest-, it seems, in ell this, except as spec-
tators. What would, be thought of the man,
who, ao being told th'ut his neighbour was strug-
Ong with a robber, should exclaim,—" I have
no hitt-Test except ai a spectator ?" There are
few men, who, on seeing an abtolute stranger to
them ill-used, would not call out at least shame,
and at least endeavour to befriend the aggrieved
party,. But we must not remonstrate nor seem
dissatisfied, whatever injustice we witness.

[NEW TI Ell.l
We learn by expresses from Paris to %%redoes-
thy evening, that the French Funds on that day
had experienced a trifling fluctuation. They
opened at 881. and closed at 881. 20c.; but were
afterwards done for the Account at 811. 95e.
Spanish Bonds had recovered to 38x.—Neapo.
litany,7o.—The old report of the removal of the
king of Spain to Cadix had been revived. This
event was said to have taken place on the 10th ;
but the statement appeared to obtain little credit
in Paris. It was expected that General Borde-
aoult would enter Seville before the -4-2.2 d, the
day earned ht his last dispatch. The Cortes
had already divindied to sixty Members.

ate'tecovering from the late panic. They were
the morning of yesterday 311, and closed at 33j.
Colombian Bobds have again experienced an
alteration in value ; they were on Thursday at
58, and were yesterday at 55, and closed at 56.
The long continued northeasterly winds pre-:
vent any ariivals from the westward. The Lis-
bon PaCket'has been Over-due for several days,
and her arrival is looked, to with intense interest.
According to the French Papers, the Counier-re-
vilution has spread both through the North and
South of Portugal. The entire province of Beira,
as well as that of Minho, and the district of
Porto, has declared for the Royal cause.—Some
uneasiness was created'. at Lloyd's, by the re-
port of a rich French East Indiaman having been
captured by a Spanish cruiser. The amount in.:
sured upon her at Lloyd's is estimated at 100,0001.
but it is lipped the report may prove incorrect,
as most of the Spanish privateers, consist of
armed boats, and there are few or none suffici-
ently large to effect the capture of a vessel of
this description; We observe among the sub-
scribers for the violation of English neutrality
the name of Mr. Marryat,.the Chairman (we
presume) of Lloyd's. It would be curious
enough if the President of the first maritime
insurance Company in tire world' were to furnish
pecuniary means to a belligerent cruiser to inflict
a severe loss upon those very insurers l--The lust
advices from L'Orient mention the sailing of
a strong squadron from that port for the coast

of Spain.

[MORNING.. POST.]
The recent debate in the House of Lords upon
the slate of Ireland, to which we could yester'.
day only very briefly allude, demands our re-
newed attention ; not on account of any novelty
in the topic that were introduced, but because pf
the intense and universal interest which every
thing relating to that' cOnutry is sure to e.cite.
The object of the motion submitted by the
Duke of Devonshire was, we believe; fully at-
tained at the moment when the disonssion con
eluded, since we cannot imagine his' GraCe to
have had any other view than that certainly
fair, honourable, and discreet one, of raising
some question which might afford a convelient
Parliamentary opportunity for any Peer to ex
press his'opinions on the actual condition of the
Sister Kingdom, and to suggest the means by
which, in his estimation, it may be 'A-Frost safely
and speedily improved. The Radical. Press, we
however perceive, affects to censure a decision,
by which the' HOuse'refused to pledge- itself to
an inquiry, which of, necessity must
_have been
not only unsatisfactory, Useless, and interminable,
but which could not have failed during its pro.
gress to produce the most direct and positive
mischief. Where would be the' end, or rather, to
ask a question equally puzzling, where could be
the beginning' of a Parliamentary investigation by
evidence into a subject so Vast and com-
plicated as. the system of Government which
prevails in Ireland'? If to postpone indefinitely
the execution, or even the consideration, of any
project of practical utility ; if to increase the
disquietude which has long unhappily existed
by calling into active existence a new cause
of general agitation, jealousy, and alarm ; if
to place all jarring interests in a position of
premature and simultaneous conflict, are the ob-
jects which a Government ought to pursue—all
these objects would be immediately attained by
the mere pledge of either House of Parliament to
enter upon such an investigation. The motion
answered fully its beneficial, and we trust, its
real purpose, that of provoking a general discus-
sion of the state of Irish affairs ; if its ostensible
object had been attained, it would have been
inductive, we are persuaded, of nothing but ca-
lamity. —arra—
