It is mentioned as a matter of surprise in one
of the letters from Dublin, that if Mr. CANNING
wished to make himself master of Ireland, he
had not gone more into the country, and among
the people at large. But it is reasonable to in-
fer, that even during his short stay in that coun-
try, he consulted the best authorities, and ob-

tallied the soundest information. Mr. CANNING
is not a man to indulge himself in matters of
mere amusement, when he had an opportunity of
deriving information that might tend to the ad.
vantage of the public. He is by birth an
Irishman, and, besides his general regard for
the benefit of the Empire, he must feel
a peculiar interest in the welfare of th:• coun-
try where he was born. It is not by looking on
the mere external face of nature that such a
Statesman could obtain a knowledge of the moral
end political condition of a people. Though Mr.
CANNING'S journey was stated to be merely a
visit of pleasure and friendship, there were hours
enough for private intercourse upon general in-
terests, and he possesses too enlarged and too
enlightened a mind not to reflect deeply on en
that he heard. It is said of Poets that they

look on every object, physical and Melia•
tual, with poetical eyes, and the same may be
said of politicians, with respect to the objects
which particularly attract their observation. We
may therefore expect, that, amidst all the Litton•
Lions of kindness and hospitality, Mr. CANNING
looked with a statesman's eye at whatever pre-
sented itself, and the deductions of so intelli-
gent an individual, are likely to lead to mea-
sures of national advantage. Mr. CANNING,
we believe, can have few enemies, except
among those who are enemies to their court-
try, and who will never be satisfied with any
order of things that does not tend to their owa.
elevation to power. Suppose Mr. CANNING had
accepted all the honours that had been offeredto
him, and laid himself out for more, how would
his despicable adversaries have assailed him
with accusations of pride, vanity, and ostentatioa.
Nor could it be from a cold regard to 46 the pre•
sprvation of his favourite maxim of neutrality"
that he denied himself the
gratification of reedit,-
ing those honours which are acceptable to human
nature through all its classes, degrees, and Ps.
sessions. If he had acted otherwise, his visit
friendship to Ireland would have been represellte"
as a mere pretext to throw himself in the %AY "f
those dinstinctions which he so resoluttly
dined. The Honourable Gentleman carried with
him the admiration and esteem of the country,
and, from the knowledge which he has doubtless
attained during his brief excursion, he will 17
enabled to offer increased claims to the c°".
dence and gratitude of the People.

Mr. CANNING has not yet returned from Rl"'
land, but is expected in town tomorrow.
