LMORNING POST.]
The noble Subscription to assist the cause of a
gallant nation struggling for independence (vide
the advertisement in our preceding page), testi-
fies the feelings of the British community so une-
quivocally, that we see without surprise that
small and discomfitted Party which has at-
tempted to vindicate the aggressor now seeking
pretences for an outcry, which . in truth the
anguish of its own humiliation extorts from it.
Baffled, confounded, and deserted, this Party
whines like a fretful and disappointed child, and
like such child too, alleges any other rather than
the true cause of its peevishness.—The English
Government has declared its intention to mOn-
tain a strict neutrality during the conflict be-
tween France and Spain ; therefore it seems
individual Englishmen who assist the Spaniards
from their private means, violate the na-
tional faith, and stigmatize the conduct of
_their rulers. Why do not these bewailers
of the honest zeal of their countrymen strive
at once to counteract its effect, and to
illustrate the neutrality they affect to prize so
dearly, by forming a subscription in aid of the
military chest of the Duke d'Angouleme ? Or,
if that doughty Commander require no such as-
sistanee, why not at least create a fund for the
purpose of presenting honorary medals to- such
individuals of the French army as may display
the most signal gallantry and zeal in the holy
enterprise in which it is embarked ? We will
venture to undertake, that as far as Government
is concerned, they may do this without either
obstruction or discouragement. Their utmost-
efforts of this nature will, we are sure, not
he held by any living creature to impeach
the neutrality of the country. It is truly
marvellous that the partiians of France should
impute to. her so glaring an, inconsistency as
that of doubting the sincerity of the English Go-
vernment, because the hearts and the purses of
an immense proportion of its subjects are evi-
dently not neutral. IS not the person of the
French Kingsonstantly guarded by an army of
Swiss troops ? Is not an equal number of
French soldiers rendered by this arrangement
disposable for foreign service,- whenever France
goes to war? But is there any man so deplorably
ignorant as to imagine that the neutrality of the
Helvetic Confederation is rendered by this cir-
cumstance either impossible or difficult ? Sup-
pose'the Corks of Spain should hereafter so far
degrade itself and its country, as to surrender the
personal protection of its members into the hands
of Foreign mercenaries, would the country which
had given birth to these guards, and which had
therefore a perpetual claim upon their allegiance,
be involved in every Spanish quarrel, if it did
not attempt to withdraw them ? It is impossible
to, glance at a page of European history without
finding some precedent or other to negative the
assumption. The truth is, that at no period have
the, political relations of States been understood
to restrain the freedom of individual action. No
restraints have ever been imposed, unless by the
letter of express treaty, or of positive law. It,
surely will not be contended that a Swiss may
devote his person to the service of France, whilst
au Eeglishman may not subscribe a guinea to the
cause of Spain, without compromising the neu-
trality of his country.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Our readers will see with satisfaction among
our advertisements, a large additional List of
Subscriptions for the Spaniards. We observe,
too, that Meetings begin already to be adver-
tised in the country. This is.as it ought to be.
It never can be too often circulated that no time
should be lost in this great work. The most
important consequences may be produced by
even a small supply at so critical a moment as
the present. We must again and again: caution
o*r readers to distrust.the accounts in the French.
Papers. We have. seen commercial letters, lately
received by the most respectable houses in the
City, from their correspondents.in Seville, Cadiz,
Malaga, Corunna, &c. which, one and all, differ
lobo cce/o in their representations from those in the
Papers in question. They represent the re,
spectable part of •the population as Constitution-
alists, with hardly any exception. With respect
to Portugal, we have only to say that the French
accounts are unsatisfactory, and that no other
accounts have yet arrived an which any reliance
can be placed.

The Barony of, Clonlisk, in the King's County,
and the Barony of Ballinacor, in the County of
Wicklow, are by Proclamation, dated on Wed-
nesday last, plated under the nsurrection Act.
-4.4 It is admitted on .all hands (says The Dublin
Evening Port), that an evil spirit is very gene-•
rally diffused, a spirit not likely to be crushed
or eradicated by the infliction (however expe,
dient 11$ temporary measures they may be) of
penal enactments." In fact, till a radiCal change
of system I alcPs place in Ireland, tranquillity can
be only temporary and local ; force or intimida-
tion may compress outrage in One quarter, but it
mast immediately display itself in another.—The
late proceedings in Parliament have had all the
effect Which the Orangernen wished for. They
have given tenfold insolence to the Orangemen,
whose only fear seems now to be lest they
should not have an opportunity of trying their
strengths against the Catholks. All this is not lost
on the Catholics. At a late Meeting, Mr. O'Gor-
man stated that it was the duty ofvvery CatlM-
lie qualified by law to bear arms to prepare for
the worst."—This is a state of things calculated,
one should think, to fill the stoutest hearts with
alarm, And yet it does not seem to have in the
least discomposed his Majesty's Ministers. We
are unwilling to believe them so stupid as not to
see what must be the inevitable consequence of
persisting in their present system ; and yet this
would suppose them possessed of a degree of
wickedness,. which we are unwilling to impute
to them. If they really. think that a country
like` Ireland can with safety be governed on the
Protestant a'stendancy principle, that is, on the

principle of allowing to a handful of men- the
power of tyrannising over a population of five or
six millions, continually increasing too at a most
alarming rate, their imbecility is without a pa-
rallel ; if they see the consequences, but are in-
different to them it W6iild be difficult, to carry
debasement further.—(lbid.)

[THE ,TIMES.]
It does not appear -that so much attention as
the subject merits has been paid to the singular
occurrence of the three great Powers of the
North having recalled their Ambassadors from
Wirtemburgh. This act' demonstrates but too
clearly the views of the High and Holy Allies.
The King ,of France, in his celebrated speech to
the two Legislative Chambers, asserted the prin.
ciple that the people of Spain
,could only receive
a free constitution from his Majesty, but that they
could by no means impose one on him, or offer
one for his acceptance. The King of.Wirtem-
burgh has given his subjects a free constitution ;
they have by his ordinance something of a repre-
sentative government, and of a free Press. The
other Members of the Holy Alliance suddenly
step in, -and endeavour to check the growth of
this newly created liberty. They recall • their
Ambassadors from the Court of Stuttgard. In
Spain, therefore, the people are not to claim a
free constitution►.; in Germany the Prince is not
to present it.

The people of property in Cork 'and its en.
virons have begun to thick about protecting
themselves, inasmuch as the law appears unable
to protect them. Armed associations are forming
among the inhabitants, and the list of names is
rapidly swelling. What will be the end of this ?
Bands of volunteers in Ireland, if sufficiently
numerous to quell the danger which gives rise to
theM, have more than once turned into a new
direction, and overawed Government, of whose
feebleness they had been the support. The vo-
lunteers of 1780 did so : after first saving, and
then emancipating their country, they menaced
the Government, and were by a coup de main, in
the shape of an Act of Parliament, extinguished.
The armed Orangemen of 1798 contributed to put
down the rebellion ; but they have contrived to put
down the Monarchy also : and to this day, as
pregnant proof has been afforded, they retain in
their own hands a very formidable share of legis-
lative influence, as well as of the executive and
judicial power. A pretty comment, indeed, upon
the efficacy of the Insurrection Act, that this ne
plus ultra of legislation should end in the sup-
plementary excellence of carbines and sabres!
What more is to be "done for Ireland," as the
phrase goes, does not appear. The Composition
Bill seems likely to be thrown outl and it mat-
ters little, since the compulsory clause has been
rejected, which contained the essence of the
whole measure ; for how, in the name of won-
der, shall we ever see obtained a relief from any
grievance under the actual tithe system, unless
a right of compelling that relief shall first have
been deposited somewhere ? The Clergy are
known to be adverse to the Bill, clinging with
desperation to the old chimera, that church
property lies beyond the pale of Parliamentary
interference. •The power of voluntary composi-
tion during incumbency, exists at this hour, and
has for many years existed ; but how rarely, if
ever, has such a composition taken place. We
are, warranted, therefore, In fearing, that without
a little gentle coercion, no compact of the kind will
be agreed to hereafter. Ireland (if that be physi.
rally possible) is to remain precisely as she has
stood for 3 or 4 generations, until some foreign
war shall encourage the spirit of popular insur-
rection, and the whole unwieldy fabric of the
Irish church and state comes down with a crash,
under the action of extraneous violence, and the
weight of its inward abuses.—(lbid.).
