LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1846.

Government and the resident landlords of Ireland
must immediately and earnestly emulate each other
in endeavouring to afford occupation to the destitute
peasantry across St. George's Channel, otherwise
starvation and insurrection are not merely possibili-
ties, but certainties. During the calamitous history
of that neglected and abused country an autumnal
season never comm.enced with so many appalling
auguries of scarcity in provisions. If anything were
requisite to excite commisseration in the minds
of the local and legislative protectors of the
Irish population, the spectacle of rottenness pre-
sented by their potato fields would be amply
sufficient. The thousands of acres, upon the pro-
duce of which that population had alone cal-
culated for subsistence, present an aspect of utter
desolation ; miles upon miles in the neighbourhood of
the larger towns, as well as of the more secluded
villages, are beheld fields in which the murrain has
taken such a destructive effect, that their proprietors
are unwilling to submit to the expense of digging.
So desperate is the condition of the poorer classes
already, that, according to the opinion of a very
credible eye-witness, an outbreak is unavoid-
able, unless precautionary measures be taken
forthwith. Indeed, it would be the acme of credulity
to repose in a confident expectation that thousands
will voluntarily submit to the gradual and excruci-
ating torments of famine while there are plump oxen
within reach, palatable swine worth the killing, and
stores of meal but indifferently guarded. An out-
break under such aggravating circumstances is one
of the most natural movements to anticipate. The
time-honoured principle of meum and tuum is incon-
trovertible by a conscientious logician, but it resolves
itself into a sheer absurdity when regarded by a
starving populace. One by one, as the encroachments
of hunger are experienced by the multitude, are the
religious sentiments, the promptings of reason, and
the kindlier dictates of the heart, subverted. And
hence, instead of feeling astonishment at this notion
of an ultimate display of insubordination, we confess
ourselves to be somewhat amazed, and to be alto-
gether inspired with admiration at the patience, and
the meekness, and the self-imposed tranquillity with
which the impoverished Irish have sustained all their

preceding sorrows. Talk no longer of the lawlessness
of the Irish peasantry, of their ingratitude, of their
predisposition to crime and insurrection! Tell us
no longer of their being little better than ignorant
and intractable barbarians ! Their conduct during
so many and such terrible afflictions ; the tranquillity
which was preserved even in those awful moments, in
1845, when they shut themselves up in their hovels
to despair of human succour and to die ; the un-
repining submissiveness with which, according to
the language of the Parliamentary Blue Book, on the
Relief of Distress in Ireland, page 225, they "actually
subsis'ed on food made from the wash' of a starch
yard, food but indifferently suited for pigs"—all these
circumstances are an ample testimony of the capa-
bility of this poor pgasantry for better things. "If
the next crop fails us, it will be the end of the world
with us !" said a labourer to Captain PERCIVAL, on
the 25th of last May. Feeling thus intensely the pri-
vations to which they were abandoned, these simple-
minded people still continued amenable to the na-
tional Legislature. Cherishing the domestic affec-
tions more sedulously, perhaps, than any other race
upon the surface of the earth, the peasants could be-
hold the sufferings of their wives and children with-
out resorting to violence for their alleviation. A few
sacks of meal and pollard were, without doubt, car-
ried off from the waggons and the storehouses, but
the depredation was committed by parties of habitual
depravity. A bullock or so was occasionally tre-
panned, but the abducter was invariably some one
blessed with a notoriously bad reputation. Assassi-
nations, and mutilations, and murders were of no
unfrequent occurrence, but those dastardly sins were
attributable more to distinct associations, as the
Rockites, Molly Macguirism, Ribbonism, and the
like, than to any affinity to bloodshed on the part of
the collective community. We can confidently un-
dertake to say that many eminent virtues have been
evinced in an eminent manner by the Irish peasantry
during their grievous and protracted privations.
Patience and long-suffering, gentleness of heart in
the midst of every conceivable temptation to brutal
force and ruffian depravity, forbearance milder
the most insolent neglect and subordination,
when goaded on to insurrection by hunger and
disease ! These beautiful instances of submission to
the decrees of DIVINE PROVIDENCE are a testimony of
that natural piety and that innate generosity of dis-
position, which, if suitably responded to, would in-
sure, not only the happiness of themselves, but the
greater prosperity of the whole empire. Even when
charging at Waterloo and in the Peninsula to the
sound of " Garryowen," Irish bravery was never
more signally demonstrated than during these months
of provisional and pecuniary destitution. Assuredly
the Legislature and the landlords should correspond
to these virtues in the population : such national
merits should not pass unrewarded, much less be
followed by an abandonment to death either by
inanition or contagion. . .

We have already expressed our sentiments very
explicitly on the Government grant of 50,000/. ; we
have maintained that such a stunted bounty is al-
together inadequate for the relief of a quarter of even
the existing destitution, and that, consequently, it
would be but a paltry corrective to the vastly extended
destitution which time must necessarily develop. On
this particular we can now, however, rest perfectly satis-
fied. The Ministers, for their own sakes, for the sake
of the nation, and for the sake of humanity, will have
a reservation in case of any extraordinary emergency.
Nothing need be dreaded from the apathy of the
legislative officials. We must now turn with an
anxious and scrutinising interest to the efforts of
the Irish landlords for the assuaging of the
miseries of their tenantry—those landlords whose lia-
bilities and crippled resources have been so graphi-
cally delineated by Lord MOUNTCASBELL. Let them
be astir for the sake of their own fair fame, and of
their own fair fortunes. The time has arrived
in which they may wipe away the remem-
brance of wholesale evictions and retail
illiberality. Let them avail themselves of
so excellent an opportunity of rendering their
names popular, of attaching to themselves a devoted
and enthusiastic race, and thereby of materially im-
proving their neglected possessions.
The Irish can be as intensely grateful for benefac-
tions as they have already proved themselves intensely
patient under privations, or as they may prove them-
selves intensely outrageous under a long-con-
tinued abandonment by their natural and national
protectors. One of their priests, on seconding a
vote of sincere thanks to Sir ROBERT PEEL, at a
meeting held at Mallow, on Wednesday, declared
that "if he travelled over every page of the Eng-
lish vocabulary, he could not find terms strong
enough to express his sense of gratitude to that great
and good man !" Let the Irish landlords imitate the
generous example shown by Sir R. PEEL in his public
capacity, and they will be rewarded with similar gra-
titude from an industrious and peaceful tenantry !

On the 24th of August Cardinal Gszzi addressed
a circular to the Governors of the Provinces of the
Roman States, callim; on them to adopt measures
calculated to improve the religious and temporal
condition of the poorer classes. The document
states, that the POPE beholds with the utmost
pain the quarrels, thefts, and other misde-
meanors constantly recurring throughout the Pon-
tifical States ; that the chief cause of this state of
society must be found in the idle life which
the younger portion of the population are
accustomed to lead, and in a want of proper
instruction to prepare them for gaining an honest
living by their industry. His Holiness, in con-
sequence, in addition to his wish to see education and
habits of industry generally disseminated throughout
his dominions, proposes founding without delay an
establishment at Rome for the education of a certain
number of boys belonging to the working classes
throughout the states, so that they might be, in the
first place, removed from the spot where they
were likely to contract bad habits ; and in
the next, might form a nucleus of well-in-
structed, non-commissioned officers, calculated to
suffice for the army required by the State. His Ho-
liness calls on the governors to apply to all persons
under their jurisdiction, particularly the bishops, mu-
nicipal magistrates, and provincial councillors, for
suggestions to forward this scheme, and to indicate
the best mode of raising the funds necessary for car-
rying it into execution. The circular, in conclusion,
calls on the governors to avoid mere theoretical
recommendations, and to confine themselves as much
as possible to practical matters.

Madrid papers of the Ist have arrived.
The Heraldo gives the following bit of special
pleading as an answer to the article in the Espanol,
which we published in our paper of yesterday, on the
subject of the MONTPENSIER marriage, which the
Espanol contended would be a violation of the funda-
mental laws of Spain and of the treaty of Utrecht:—

" The spirit of the treaty concluded at a time when
the condition of Spain was very different from what it
now is, was never to unite on one head the two crowns,
of France and Spain, in order not to disturb the politi-
cal equilibrium, to which, in past ages, more importance
was given than in the present day ; but could that
circumstance now occur even with the consent
of the two nations ? Certainly not. Could the
Duke de Montpensier ever be the common bond of this
re-union, impossible in our age ? Certainly not ; tor even,
which God forbid, should her Majesty have no heirs, the
Duke de Montpensier would not be, as husband of the
Princess who succeeded to the throne, King of Spain, but
simply hu.sband of the Queen ; and in order for him, in
that position, to inherit the throne of France, there
must be such a succession of deaths that their improba-
bility even prevents their entering into any human cal-
culation. But, suppose for a moment that this extreme
improbability were to happen, it would be then only, and
not before, that the Duke de Montpensier might be
called on to keep the engagements by which his family
were bound. This is too evident to make it neces-
sary to insist further on it. We mu t, however,
establish that it cannot be deduced from the spirit of
the treaty of Utrecht that the Queen, or the imme-
diate heir to the throne, cannot contract a marriage
with a prince of the house of Orleans. We may say as
much of the literal sense of the treaty. The application
made by the Espanol of the article of the constitu
tion is but a play upon words, consisting in a force:l
and absurd interpretation which it is sought to give to
the word exclude.' We admit that the treaty has now
all its primitive strength. But is that the law of which
the constitution speaks ? Between a law properly so
called and a treaty ti.ere exists a very strong difference.
The first is a document purely domestic, obligatory only
forindividuals belonging to the same political associa-
tion, without application to any other nation; the second
is the international law, which mutually binds different
nations, which treats them as the simple law treats indivi-
duals. There is, therefore, an immense difference between
the meaning of these two words ; a difference such as
cannot give rise to any equivocation, for it would be as
absurd to call the ' law of Utrecht'—the treaty which

bears that name, as to apply the word ' treaty' to the
law on the press. The law is tao explicit in its language
to confound ideas so completely distinct. If, in a docu-
ment so important as the constitution, it had been wished
to make the exclusion insisted on by the E.spanol, it
would have said, Those who by the law, or by treaties
are excluded,' and it would not have spoken simply of
the law. It is impossible to admit that in this word can
be generally understood treaties. But there is more.
The treaty of Utrecht cannot now have the primitive
force, and a blind obedience to its clauses cannot be de-
manded. After the revolutions which have succeeded
each other in Europe the law of succession is changed.
When, not long since, we wished, on the faith of that
treaty, to make a demand from England which it did not
suit her to grant, the reply was that the treaty had fallen
into desuetude, and that its clauses could not be dis-
cussed. But we do not wish to place ourselves in such
an advantageous position. We grant that the supposi-
tion of our adversaries is true, and that the treat is the
law of which the constitution speaks, and that this treaty
is now in its full force. Even in making this immense con-
cession we do not fear being able to maintain that the article
of the constitution is not applicable to the present case.
The constitution speaks of Princes against whom the law
imposes the punishment of exclusion—Princes whom, by a
logical consequence, cannot aspire to the marriage in ques-
tion, because the law cannot open indirectly the road to the
throne to one who cannot arrive there by a direct and lawful
one. It is only by doing viol,nce in an absurd manner
to the clear and explicit meaning of the article of the
constitution that he who has renounced is excluded by the
law. It may be replied to us, it is true, in the last place
that he who renounced the succession is excluded from it,
although the sense of these two words be distinct ; but,
by urging this illogical reasoning further one would be
forced to maintain that all Princes who are not called
to the succession of the throne are excluded from it, and
that consequently our Queen and her family could only
marry their cousins, Infantes of Spain. That the Duke
de Montpensier or any other Prince cannot be called to
the succession, because they have renounced it, for a mo-
tive founded on special questions which have disappeared
with the age to which they belonged, as has been the
case with the treaty of Utrecht, is what may be sup-
ported by false reasoning ; but to deduce therefrom
that these Princes are excluded by an article of the con-
stitution would be an absurd consequence which not only
does not hold good before logic and common sense, but
before the simple signification given to words in the vo-
cabulary of the language. In torturing terms in this
way they may be made to say anything."

This concluding observation is completely ap-
plicable to the reasoning of the writer in the
Ileraldo. Never was there a more flagrant attempt
at torturing terms in order to get up some show of a
reply to an adversary. The arguments of the Heraldo
are so completely identical with those of the French
papers on this point as to lead to the suspicion that
they are all the coinage of the same mint. In the
meantime the opposition to the MONTPENSIER mar-
riage is daily waxing stronger among the
Spanish people, and General NARVAEZ was
on Sunday dispatched post-haste from Paris
to Madrid. It is said that on the QUEEN'S
marriage a general amnesty will be published for all
Spaniards of all political opinions, the only excep-
tions being Don CARLOS and his sons. El Tiempo
confirms the news published yesterday of the resig-
nation of M. IsTuurrz, and of his appointment as
Ambassador to England ; and the Esperanza repeats
the statement, that there had been serious explana-
tions on the subject of the MONTPENSIER marriage
between M. ISTURITZ and Mr. BULWER.

The Spanish army is henceforth to consist of
ninety-six battalions of infantry and ninety battalions
of reserve.

The Heraldo announces the discovery of another
plot to disturb the peace of the capital, which being
interpreted means that it would be exceedingly con-
venient to the employers of the Heraldo to make cer-
tain illegal arrests, and that it is their intention so
to do.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The Spanish marriages are commented on in all
of them. The Ministry and Court of France look
upon the marriage of the INFANTA with the Due DE
AIONTPENSEIR as un fait accompli, but many persons
believed that both Great Britain and the Northern
Powers would protest against such an union. In
allusion to the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht,
which would probably form one of the grounds of
such a protest, the Journal des Debuts, in reply to
the article in the Espanol on the subject, says :
" A Madrid journal, the Espanol, opposed to the
marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de Montpensier,
calls to our recollection that by the treaty of Utrecht,
concluded in 1713, a public act is annexed, by which
the family of France and the family of Orleans renounce
the Crown of Spain, which might have descended to
them under the Salic law.

" We do not see how this document can be considered
as an obstacle to the marriage of the Infanta of Spain to
one of the sons of the King of the French ; it would not
even have been an impediment in the way of an union of
the Queen with a Prince of the house of Orleans, for
the order of succession to the throne could not in any
way be changed by either the one or other of these two
alliances."

The Commerce and the Courrier Francais both
controvert the argument of the Espanol; and the
Siecle, which enters fully into the subject, says—
" It is well known that the object of this celebrated
document was to prevent the re-union of the crowns of
France and Spain. It results from it, not that a French
prince cannot marry a Spanish princess, but that he
cannot claim the crown of Spain in his own right. It is
the same for the princes of Spain with regard to the
French crown. But to arrive at the throne by the right
of male succession, and to become the husband of a
princess who occupies the throne in her own right,
founded on the ancient law of the Goths, and renewed
by the Cortes, are things essentially different. The
Espanol, which brings forward the renunciation,
forgets that it is a corollary to the establishment of
the Salic law in Spain. If it ever suited France to
establish that her crown might be filled by females, a
French Queen would be perfectly at liberty to espouse
a descendant of Philip V., provided that Prince was
not King of any other country. The renunciation is
inapplicable to the Duke de Montpensier; his wife is
heir presumptive to the throne of Spain; she may be-
come Queen of that country; but unless by the ex-
press wish of the Spaniards, declared in a sovereign
form, the husband of the Infanta Luisa would not
even have the guardianship of his children. It would
be difficult in good faith to bring forward the renun•
ciation against the Duke de Montpensier in the event
of his claiming the regency during the minority of his
son or his daughter; for the regency, although it em-
braces the functions of royalty, is not royalty, the
essential character of which is perpetuity."
The Quotidienne, the Legitimatist organ, also denies
the validity of the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht.
" If," says the Quotidienne, " the treaty of Utrecht
still subsists, with its consequences, the lawful King
of Spain is CHARLES VI.; but if it has been done
away with by the revolution of 1833, how can it be
now adduced against the descendants of PHILIP of
Orleans ? It must either protect the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN, or open Spain to the Duke DE MONT..
PENSIER. But we know from experience that re-
volutions care but little about being consistent."

Thus all parties in France seemed agreed to treat
the treaty of Utrecht as a dead letter.
'I he Republican National seems to enjoy the pros-
pect of a squabble among crowned heads and Mi-
nisters of State, and laughs, after its own sneering
fashion, at the intrigues and counter-intrigues of the
diplomatists of both sides :
" The double marriage," says that paper, " whiCh
diplomacy has concluded in Spain, occupies at this
moment the entire press of Madrid, of London, and of
Paris. We admire the efforts which are ever made
when the people are suffering to exaggerate the im
portance of Court affairs. Well ! of what conse-
quence is it whether a young woman is called Infanta
or Madame Montpensier ? Is the world, perchance,
going to change its appearance in consequence? Is it
desired to elevate petty monarchical intrigues to the
proportions of those grand events which produce new
ideas amongst society, which give a more rapid rotation
to the fortune of nations, and which cause the axis on
which they turn to sink? Do, we still live at that
period of history when a royal alliance set Europe on
tire, and disturbed during many years its security
and its international relations? There is not, at
this moment, a single potentate, however elevated
or powerful he may imagine himself, who could
cause any material alteration in the general position of
kingdoms because it pleased himself to marry or to
marry his children. Let us not, therefore, give this
affair a degree of importance which it does not possess.
The only manner in which it regards us is that it pro-
duces the propagation of a species with which we might
dispense. It was Frederick the Great who first used, at
Potsdam, a phrase which has been frequently repeated
—' There is nothing more easy to replace than a
prince.' The phrase still continues true, and for that
reason we will not complain of those menacing mar-
riages." _

A circular has just been addressed by some of the
Opposition Members of the Chamber of Deputies to
the electoral body, calling on the Liberal elgctors to
form permanent committees " to fight the battle of
the registration courts," so as to enable that party to
regain its lost ground. It is signed by M. 0. BARROT,
DUVERGIER D'HAURANNE, G. DE BEAUMONT, and
LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and its object is thus de-
scribed by the Constitutionnel:—
" This circular is not a programme; it is an energetic
invitation addressed to ail shades of the Opposition, to
act everywhere with ensemble, to form permanent com-
mittees, to examine the lists, and to keep the public
mind in a salutary state of agitation. The Government
wish, to put the country to sleep, to close its eyes on
its treat interestq, to divide among a small number

of families the direction of the Government, to cor-
rupt public manners in order to ,xtinguish patriotism.
The Opposition wishes to keep France awake, to inces
slimly excite generous sentimei:ts, to combat corruption,
and to introduce the representative system into the na-
tional habits. For this object, the committees of the
Left Centre and the Left remain constituted and active
alter the general elections, and it becomes all good
citizens to imitate their example by organising perma-
nent committees, and taking, within the limits of the
laws, every possible part in the political affairs of the
country."
The name of M. THIERS is not attached to this
circular, and it is rumoured that an intrigue is in
progress to bring about a coalition between M.
THIERS and M. GIJIZOT.

Orders have been sent to Brest to prepare three
corvettes, the Allier, the Somme, and the Loire to
take 1,600 troops to Otaheite.

The Ministers have determined that the sentence
on JOSEPH HENRY shall be carried into effect.
The Chamber of Commerce of Havre have received
the following announcement from the Minister of
Commerce :

" I have received notice from the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, that the Russian Government has suspended in
its ports of the Baltic and of the White Sea, as well as in
tbose of the Black Sea and of the Sea of Azof, the appli-
cation of the ukase of the 19th June, 1845, as far as
relates to French shipping arriving from the ports of
France situated on the Atlantic and ou the Channel. I
pray you to communicate this fact to the merchants of
your town." _ _

The information announced in The Sun of last even-
ing, of the resignation of M. Isturitz, has given very
considerable dissatisfaction here. He has been long
known as a financier, and desirous, too, of keeping good
faith with the bondholders. It is not likely, even
should he come here as ambassador, that he can do
much good for those who have strong claims upon
the Spanish Treasury for advances made to it.
The writers of the private letters from
Madrid appear to take very little interest in the paper
warfare which is going on upon the subject of the
proposed marriage between the youngest son of Louis
Philippe and the Infanta. One thing is certain, that
whether the marriage take place or not, the foreign
b mdholders will not be a bit better off than they fuel
now. But it is argued in some quarters the al-
liance may have the eff, ct of increasing the
stability of tha Queen of Spain, and that under French
guidance and advice the revenues of the country may be
further developed. Radically bad, however, as are the
the a hole fiscal arrangements of the Spanish Ration, it
is extremely doubtful whether for years to come any
such improvement can be made as may yield bent fit to
its foreign creditors. The example set by Portugal of
repudiating a portion of our obligations, will not be
lost sight of probably by the Finance Minister of
Madrid. The more the decree of the Government referred
to yesterday in our City article is considered, the
stronger are the feelings of disapprobation expressed re-
specting it. The only wonder is, that any persons
should invest money in the stock, even at the present
reduced value. It is too much to be feared that the in-
fection of repudiation, for which the Americans have
made themselves so remarkable, will now not only be
carried out by Portugal, but by Spain.
There are no late Colonial arrivals in the City to-day.
