/ immediately a prospective happiness for those who
I had hitherto only beheld an interminable vista of
wretchedness ; there was active and certain employ-
ment for those who were unable previously to earn
the most beggarly wages. Money was not to be
doled out in miserable driblets. Labourers were to be
recompensed honestly, in proportion to their exertions
As we have already intimated, no less than twenty thou-
sand pounds had been already approved by those who
had the direction and distribution of the present-
ments. Just as this had been accomplished, just as
the redemption of the Irish peasantry from starvation
was on the verge of realisation, the saving hand has
been withdrawn, the plank which providentially
spanned the abyss has been broken in twain—not a
single straw is left for the sinking multitude to
clutch at.
What has caused this terrible reaction ? Ruffian-
ism, lawlessness, and cruelty. The Irish themselves
are effectuating their own destruction. The Irish
themselves will ultimately be alone answer-
able for the lives sacrificed in these days
of their national tribulation. By contemning
the laws, by despising the recommendations of their
more patriotic countrymen, by abusing all the sacred
rights of property, and endangering the existence of
peaceful and unoffending citizens, these ruthless and
misguided insurgents are drawing upon themselves a
gigantic and overwhelming responsibility. They
are rendering the position of the obedient and gentle
civilian equally precarious with that of the most
infamous marauder. They not only render a with-
drawal of pecuniary aid incumbent upon the Legis-
lature, but they invoke upon their unfortunate
neighbours the rigours of an extraordinary sur-
veillance. From the obstruction of the appointed
officers in the discharge; of their stipulated duties the
suspension of those duties is inevitable ; and from the
atrocities perpetrated upon private individuals the
endeavour to ameliorate the condition of the destitute
is altogether prevented. Instead, therefore, of re-
ceiving assistance from the Executive in their present
privations, the peasantry are subjected to others still
greater, and they owe this exclusively and solely to
themselves.
We cannot speak in language sufficiently
powerful for the reprobation of these great crimes. We

cannot express with adequate force the intensity
of our detestation of these public malefactors. We
call upon the better-disposed among the Irish
peasantry to deliver their evil-doers up to justice,
and to bring down upon them that condign punish-
ment which men never merited more entirely. We
adjure Mr. O'CONNELL to exert the great influence
which he has acquired by many years of mental and
bodily toil for the advantage of Ireland, we adjure him
to exert that influence in repressing the evil pas-
sions of an excited population. He never had
such an opportunity of proving himself the
Liberator of Ireland. Let him seize that oppor-
tunity, let him hurl his reprobation upon the guilty

insurgents, upon those banded ruffians who shoot men

in the twilight, who stab men in the dark, who
pillage wantonly on the highway, who intercept and
molest the agents of legislative benevolence, who
prevent the penniless from gaining employment, the
starving from obtaining food, and those who despair
from acquiring hope. No terms of execration can
define the heinous criminality of those enemies of the
suffering people ; and feeling this, we implore all the
right-thinking men in the island to co-operate with
the Government in ridding the country of such pests,
and of restoring matters to their propitious position. It
is to be hoped that these things may be accomplished,
and that the aspirations of the Lord-Lieutenant will be
realised. Those aspirations are thus expressed by
Mr. REDINGTON

"His Excellency would hope that the good sense of
the people will resume its influence; that they will see
the folly and the crime they are guilty of, in thus wan-
tonly interfering with the means provided for the sup-
port of the destitute in this time of distress; and that he
will have the satisfaction of receiving full assurance of
their return to a better course of conduct, of their cordial
acquiescence in the arrangements made for their em-
ployment, and of their determination to refrain from fur-
ther obstruction or injury to persons engaged in laying
out or superintending the public works."

Do not these occurrences sufficiently demonstrate
the relative advantages of the moral and the physical
force movement ? Do they not betoken the brutal

agency of the one, and the elevated influences of the

other ? Again we adjure O'CONNELL to crush these

brawlers and marauders once for all, and, by morn:
means, to cause the physical liberation of Ireland.

The observations which Mr. O'CONNELL, according
to his invariable custom, offers every week to the
Repeal Association on the passing events of the day,
either viva voce, or by letter, were on Monday deli-
vered by him in person. We have so often expatiated
on the vast importance of anything falling from Mr,
O'CONNELL on any topic connected with Ireland, that
it is quite unnecessary to preface in any manner the
comments we may think it necessary to offer on the
subject-matter of his communication. It is, if pos-
sible, of deeper interest, and affords grounds for still
more gloomy reflections, than any he has lately put
forward. The picture he has painted is, indeed, a
sombre one ; but, happily, all is not dark ; there are a
few bright spots, on which we can repose with some-
thing of hope for the future. It has been said that—
It is always the darkest the hour before day ;"
and we sincerely trust that when that hour of dark-
ness has passed away, and sunshine is again restored,
all classes of society in that unhappy land may be
improved by the ordeal of affliction through
which they wiil have passed, and that they may prove
themselves for the future to be wiser and better men.
The veteran patriot is manifestly deeply touched
with the unhappy condition of his father-land ;he
states " that he had intended to address the Associa-
tion at great length with reference to the Cork reso-
lution, and to discuss, in many words, the position
of all parties, but that he was unable to do so,
for his heart was too full, and his mind too
much engaged with the misery of the Irish people,
who wanted food and employment." Alas ! there is
now no longer a doubt as to the extent of their suf-
ferings, of the depth of misery and destitution in
which they are plunged. The most incredulous
politician, the most thorough-going monopolist, the
most reckless perverter of the facts, could not now
venture gravely to assert that the cry of distress has
been got up for party purposes, or with the view of
deceiving the Legislature or the public, and obtaining
their sanction and approbation to the great doctrines
of free trade. The stern reality is now fully ad-
mitted—there is no longer dispute or controversy on
that point—and, whatever may be the differences as to
the means by which the difficulties may be encountered,
there can be no question as to their existence and
formidable character. Mr. O'CONNELL adds the
weight of his authority to the dark vaticinations that
have recently been put forward. He fears that we
are but at the commencement of horrors, and that the
next harvest will not have the effect so ardently de-
sired, of terminating the period of scarcity. He says,
"He knew the real position of the country well, he
knew her dangers, and could tell the gentry, and the
Government, that it was absurd to suppose that six or
eight months would see them over their difficulties.
That if a beneficent PROVIDENCE did not guide the
Government, it wasimposAble to say what the position
of the country might be in twelve months. Famine was
almost universal." This fearful announcement mus

surely awaken all the sympathies, and bespeak the
most zealous exertions not only of every Irishman,
but of every British subject—of every man possessed
of the commonest feelings of philanthropy. The
sublimest precept of our religion—a precept acknow-

ledged by every Christian, of whatever sect or deno-
mination he may be—inculcates the duty of " feed-

ing the hungry and clothing the naked.' We know
little of Englishmen if any persuasion is necessary to
induce them to co•operate in the work of charity
and beneficence. The simple tale of misery
speaks with greater eloquence than the
most accomplished orator could give expres-
sion to ; and, on the part of our country, we can
give the assurance that any step which may appear
advisable to the Executive will be sanctioned. No
matter how serious the expense, or how heavy the
burdens in which we may thereby be required to
participate—Englishmen, who gave twenty millions
sterling to strike the shackles from the slave, to re-

move the stain from the fair fame of their country, the

blot from their statute-book, will, if necessary, divide

,heir last crust with their Irish brother before a

single one shall perish for want of food in a Christian

The gentry of Ireland, however, must be up and

stirring ; they are placed in the van of battle,
the fiercest part of tle contest, they are called
on to encounter. Why slumber they so long? Why
is there not a national committee already assembled
in the Irish metropolis ? Why are there not sub-
committees in every district, to aid with their advice,
to render every assistance in their power to the Go-
vernment and the authorities ? The want of such
bodies, the material services they could render, are
admitted on every side, and yet prejudices have still
prevented that cordia. co-operation of persons of
different parties that is so loudly called for, so ur-
gently required by their common country. This
will, this must, be terminated. We have the gratify-
ing testimony of Mr. O'CONNELL "that the wretched
state of Ireland has beer the means of circulating a feel-
ing thzt never before existed." He speaks of his personal
observation at the Fennoy meeting, where he saw
" clergymen of all creeds, and gentry of all creeds
and classes of politics, joining together to alleviate
the universal distress that prevails, and forming a
deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant to claim the suc-
cour of the Government." Fervently do we pray that
this better feeling may become universal. If this
should be the case the evils afflicting Ireland will not
be without their good effect, the dissensions and dif-
ferences that so long have disunited her children and
marred every effort made for her benefit, will be ter-
minated, and we may look for the greatest ameliora-
tion in the social and moral relations of the people as
the happy result, the first fruits of this great and
valuable change.

We have only space to say further, that Mr. O'CoN-
NELL has made the amende honorable to the Board of
Works for the attack on them at the Fermoy meet-
ing. A week since we stated our opinion that many
circumstances existed to prevent the board from act-
ing so promptly as they would wish for the people.
Already they have sanctioned presentments to the
amount of 800,0001. sterling, and set sixty thousand
labourers to work, thus providing for an average of
300,000 persons. They have even devoted their Sab-
baths to the pious work ; and it would, indeed, be
hard to find a better or more suitable occupation for
the day. Mr. O'CoNsiELL has gracefully acknow-
ledged the error into which ho had fallen, the mis-
conception under which he laboured with respect to
the board ; and, we trust, that his statement may
remove the bitter feelings that have existed in the
country against the body. We hope that a little time
and consideration will induce him to make a similar
confession of error as to what he stated respecting
the liberal and enlightened Nobleman at the head of
the Government. 'We confess, that the observation,
with respect to the Premier, was the only part of the
speech we perused with regret, and could have
wished totally omitted. We shall, however, hope
that Mr. O'CONNELL'S candour will induce him to
acknowledge his mistake, and that fully and speedily.

The St. Petersburgh journals of the 24th October
contain the following from the seat of war :
" Accounts have just been received from the seat of
war in the Caucasus. On the 26th September the
commander in chief arrived at the camp of Fortunga,
and inspected the new fortification. Thanks to the ex-
ertions of General Labinoff it is almost completed. The
army of this officer is composed of 7,000 men, and
during the whole summer he has only had 17 on the sick
list. Schamyl had threatened to destroythe fort, but he
has not made his appearance since the 18th, and then
never fired a shot. The tribe of the Nehochanges resist
all the promises and offers made them by Schamyl to in-
duce them to join him.
" On the 30th of August, Soliman Effendi, a priest
and friend of Schamyl, went over to the Russians with
all his family, and it is expected that in a short time
many more of his partisans will find it to their inters st
to do the same. Ou the 15th September there was an
engagement between the Russians and the mountaineers,
i❑ which the latter were completely put to the rout. In
southern Daghestan General Prince Argulinski keeps
the enemy in check, and is able to protect the tribes who
are faithful to Russia. The militia which had been or-
ganised there had attacked a large band of mountaineers
and put them to flight. The enemy had one piece of
cannon, and fought very desperately, but were repulsed
with loss. The plain of Kumik is now covered with
fortifications, and there is a strong reserve of cavalry."

The Grand Council of Geneva met on the 28th
alt , and received a report of the Provisional Go-
vernment, giving an account of their proceedings
from the day of their installation, and concluding
with an offer from each of the members to resign
should the Gr:tnd Council find reason to disapprove
of any of their measures. The Grand Council, after
considering the report, came to the following resolu-
tion, which was carried unanimously :
" Taking into consideration the decree of the Council
General of Molard, the Grand Council does not accept the
resignation of the members of the Provisional Govern-
ment, but testifies gratitude to them for the services which
they hare already rendered to the country, and entreats
them to continue their functions." The Journal de l' Ain
had published a correspondence in which it was said
that at the time of the approach of the French troops,
the troops of Geneva at the same time took up a position
on the frontier with two cannon. The Revue de Geneve
replies—" This manner of announcing a simple measure
t tin
29
ta and of police is altogether false; no cannon were sent. At
the most, 30 of the paid artillerymen were placed at the
tw
Grand Naconnex, and this
feeble detachment has since returned." The Council of
Baosie p
adopted
points of
on Mh
by an immense majority,
the proposition for a revision of the Constitution, and

appointed a committee of 15 members, to prepare a re.
port on the subject.

Intelligence to the 30th of October has been re-
ceived from Lisbon. The QUEEN'S troops had been
victorious in two encounters with the insurgents.
The first victory was announced in the following
telegraphic dispatch, which was received at Lisbon on
the 30th of October
FROM SCHWALBACK, VISCONDE DE SETUBAL.
" I arrived at the camp of the Baron de Estrenoz at
eleven on the night of the 27th inst., having been in-
formed by him of the union of the sth and 6th Gaga-
dores and 4th Artillery. The Baron and I marched with
our entire column at tour in the morning of the 28th to
Y.W e met them at half-past two o'clock
inafternoon, in a stroLg position in the town of
1, meet-iat hiie e n
at.heaealttacked immediately, and at five o'clock r
we had completely routed them, they leaving in our
hands several cart-loads of ammunition and other effects,
with two pieces of artillery. I calculate their loss at 200
men, between killed, w ounded, and prisoners. On our
part we have had an officer killed and two wounded,
together with some soldiers and horses. I will send you,
Ohe Queen.

The second victory is thus announced in a letter
from the north of the kingdom
" Baron Cazal, on arriving at Villareal, met the de-
mocratic forces under the command of Veiga, Itibello,
and Seixas. Ile defeated them completely, killing an
immense number, and the two leaders, Veiga and Ribello
died, the people of the district being struck with such
terror in consequence, that the province of Tros-os-
Montes need give no further concern. The Baron next
arrived at Penaful with the 3d and 13th Infantry and
6th and 7th Cavalry, and went in pursuit of Almargen,
who fled by Valongo to Oporto on the 26th. The
blockade of the Duuro has been acknowledged by the
English Consul. The consequence is, that no money is
received at the Custom-house, which produces insubor-
dination amongst the insurgent troops, and despair in
the mob."

Count BOWFIN has escaped from Lisbon, and has
joined the Count DAS ANTAS at Coimbra. The Diario
de Governo of the 30th contains-
1. A decree, by which the Queen, at the recommenda-
tion of her ministers, assumes the exercise of absolute
power as long as the present rebellion lasts.
. 2. A letter from the Queen to Count Das Antes, in-
viting him to make his submission.
3. His answer in the negative.
4. A decree, depriving Count Das Antos, Count de
Mello, the Marquis of Louie, Viscount Sada Bandeira,
and Baron Algodres, of all their titles and honours, for
having taken arms against the Government."
The British squadron, under the command of Sir
W. PARKER, entered the Tagus on the 30th. The
squadron consists of the Hibernia, the Trafalgar, the
Albion, the Rodney, the Superb, and the Terrible and
Rattler steamers.

The military
impressment still continued in Lisbon,
an embargo
was laid on all houses, and workmen
were employed in
putting the lines in a state of
defence.

Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have arrived.
It was reported that Count BRESSON was about to
leave Madrid on leave of absence. .According to the
Her aldo, the Government has received information of
an intended Carlist rising. The decree dissolving the
Cortes
was to appear in the Gaceta :of the 30th.
Rumours of a modification of the Ministry were again
current in Madrid.

The Portuguese news contained in these papers has
been anticipated by the later intelligence which we
have received from Lisbon this morning. The move-
ment at Saragossa was completely repressed.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Siecle, which has always boen opposed to the
entente cordiale with England, is even more firmly
opposed to the establishment of anything like an
entente cordiale with the absolutist Governments, as
recommendeeby the Presse. We believe that the
following article, which appears in the Siecle of
Tuesday, may be considered as the protest of the
Odilon Barrot section of French Liberals against
anything like a Russian alliance :
To console themselves for the imminent ruin of the
English alliance, our Ministers flatter themselves, or
rather boast, to have regained at Vienna and St. Peters-
burgh all the ground that they have lost at London. For
our parts, we do not perceive the trace of this happy
progress, unless there be given to us a pledge of the
benevolent dispositions of Austria in the efforts which
she is making to have a cut at Switzerland, and to give a
finishing stroke to Poland. On all sides the interests of
this power are opposed to the interests and sympathies
of constitutional France. Before forming an alliance
with her, our Gosernment should commence by betray-
ing her. We are well aware that for M. Guizot that is
neither an insurmountable difficulty nor an impossible
condition ; but even supposing this alliance realisable,
what would be the advantage of it ? Of all the states
of Europe, Austria is perhaps that of which the power
is most menaced. She has such difficulty to live that her
action is neither formidable to her enemies nor of service
to her allies. Italy, that slave always quivering, as one
of her poets calls her, gives to the Nestor of the Holy
Alliance too cruel anxieties to allow him to be at leisure
to join in the diplomatic dreams of our Minister of
Foreign Affairs. It fears that at Venice the winged
lion of St. Mark may respond to the Roman eagle, but
inefficiently lulled to quiet, and the 50,000 bayonets
which line the southern frontier of Austria scarcely
suffice for her security. By pressing on Poland, felled
as she is to the ground, she with difficulty restrains her
fatal convulsions. Let her abandon her prey for an
instant, and at once the victim starts up to struggle with
her executioner. In Bohemia and Hungary the spirit
of modern liberalism unites with the anarchy of the
middle ages to excite continually renewed embar:ass-
ments against Vienna. Occupied in watching her indo-
cile subjects can she exercise a high influence on the
destiny of her neighbours ? In Germany an adroit and
persevering rival is displacing the centre of Germanic
unity ; Prussia, by means of the Zollverein, constitutes
a great business feudality, of which she declares herself
the suzerain, leaving to the self-entitled heir of the
Caesars a shadow of a power which soon will not exist
except in a vain ceremonial. Pressed or menaced on
all sides, invaded by the advanced posts of constitutional
opinion, penetrated by parts of other states which
destroy the cohesion of her territory, Austria, even'
supposing her to possess the will, could not have the
power of giving an impulse to public opinion in Europe;
her part is inert, and her policy negative. Is it to
this power, now in a dying state, that our Ministers
are about to hold out the hand ? Do they hope to
fill up by such an alliance the chasm which the disap
pearance of the English alliance would leave in our foreign
relations ? They boast also with an indiscreet vanity
of the unhoped•for advances which the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh has, they say, made to our Government.
The Czar, the Ministerial journals lately declared,
deigned to invite the Chargé d'Affaires of France to a
family dinner. The whole importance and bearing of
such an event are at once felt! Who can possibly doubt
after that of the good dispositions of Russia? Does not
Providence offer us, with a wonderful opportuneness,
that consolation to diminish the bitterness of the divorce
which separates us from England? Anxious to pay the
dowry, even before the celebration of this new union,
our Ministry lowers the customs tariffs in favour of the
produce and vessels of Russia, without waiting for the
ratification of the Czar to permit our flag to enjoy a like
favour in the Muscovite ports. It is well known how we
regard the Russian alliance as far as the interests
of liberty are concerned in France and Europe. We
should not advise a French Ministry to seek an ally
so far, by passing over the body of unfortunate
Poland. But, besides, is such a scruple the only
obstacle which opposes the realisation of this project?
Does there exist any point of contact between the
petty spirit of our Government and the enterprising
genius of the Romanoffs? The status quo is the system
of the one, conquest is the object of the other. Only an
offensive alliance can be contracted with Russia; it was
possible, perhaps, immediately after the revolution of
1830, now it is only a chimerical idea. What pledges
would our Government receive ? What part would be
given to it in the profits of this association ? Whilst
under favour of the assistance or of the neutrality of the
French Government, the Russian arms invaded the East,
where would there be found compensation for France ?
Is it in Belgium, which has been declared neutral and in-
dependent? Or in Germany, on the banks of the Rhine,
where the powerless and cold diplomacy of our Ministry
has almost caused the French name to sink into oblivion?
Can Poland at present rise up again ? Will Russia
offer to reconstitute with the ruins of that unfortunate
nation a state which shall re-establish in Europe the
equilibrium that has been destroyed ? Russia has not
conceived a sufficiently high idea of the energy of the
French Cabinet to purchase its alliance. She will pur-
sue her destinies in her formidable isolation. If by
chance her eagle unites with foreign colours, has not
1840 shown that it is to march against France or her
allies ? Let us then be spared the vain boastings of a
diplomacy pushed to its last shifts. At the moments of
danger the Government will find itself alone between the
contempt of courts and the distrust of nations. Such is
the consequence and the chastisement of the wretched
policy which it practices."
The Republicans, as represented by the Nation,ll, and
the Thiers party, as represented by the Constitutionnel,
are equally opposed to an intimate alliance with the
absolutist Governments; and we believe that there is
not to be found throughout France a member ofany sec-
tion of the Liberal party who would not oppose to the
utmost of his power the formation of any such
entente cordiale.
The Univers, the organ of the.parti pretre, rejoices
over the misfortunes of Mexico, because it fancies
that those misfortunes may tend to embarrass England.
" The last events in Mexico," says the Univers
" tend to increase the embarrassments of the London
Cabinet. It is now obvious that the American Go-
vernment is intent on the conquest of Mexico. The
menacing situation of Ireland, and the misunder-
standing between the Cabinets of St. James's and the
Tuileries, are circumstances which the Americans
will turn to account. The revolution of Portugal
13 additional complication. Lord PALMERSTON
amidst those difficulties, appears to the Washington
statesmen much less formidable than to the rulers of
France. The occasion is certainly favourable to for-
ward our national interests. Nevertheless, and not-
withstanding the instructive example set to us by
the Government of the United States, everybody
anxiously inquires if the honour and industry of
France are to expiate the success of our dynastic
diplomacy. The strength of the United States lies
entirely in the knowledge of the situation of Great
Britain. The moment we shall prove to England
that we are aware of her difficulties, and that we also
mean to have a will of our own, the harshest exigen-
cies of the cordial understanding will vanish of them-
selves. The experience of late years has but too well
demonstrated that the purchase of the friendship of
England at the price it has hitherto cost us would
compromise it seriously and for ever."
The Minister has suffered a defeat in the election
of President and Secretary of the Council General of
Paris. Hitherto the Ministerialists have always obtained
a majority, but on Monday M. ARAGO was returned
as President by a majority of 20 against 17, the
number for M. AUBE, the Ministerial candidate.
M. LEJEMFTEL was elected Secretary by 22 votes.
" This result," observes the Siecle, " was the more

significant, as the Prefect of the Seine had used a'
_ _

his influence to prevent the nomination of MM

ARAGO and LEJEMPTEL."

According to the Presse the bakers are selling
bread in Paris at less than the market price of flour.
It adds that flour is extremely scarce in the Paris
market, in consequence of the flour millers on the

Seine, the Marne, and the Eure, not being able to

grind during more than three days in the week, their
supply of wheat being short. The stock of flour in
Paris has diminished during the last eight days by
more than 6,000 metrical quintals. There remain at
present in the stores but 10,414 metrical quintals.
The average price of wheat in France, which on
the 30th of September last was 25f. lc. the hecto-
litre, had risen on the 31st of October to 26f. 36c.
the hectolitre. The rise still continues in the depart..
ments of the east and in the neighbourhood of Paris.
The price continues nearly stationary in the southern
and western provinces. It is to be hoped that the
price will speedily be reduced by the import of
foreign grain, large quantities of which have arrived
at Marseilles. The Journal des Debats gives the fol-
lowing extract from a letter written in that city on
the 29th ult.:—
There arrived here yesterday 145,154 hectolitres of
grain of every description, of which 138,498 hectolitres
were of wheat, 4,764 of barley, and 1,892 of maize. Of
these 145,154 hectolitres of grain, 30,662 arrived from
the kingdom of Naples, by nine Neapolitan and one
Roman vessels; 1,220 hectolitres from Genoa, by one
' French vessel; 6,885 from the Wallachian ports by one
Greek and one lonian vessel; 15,102 from Turkish ports
by three Greek, one Russian, and ore Austrian vessels;
in fine, 91,315 hectolitres arrived from the Russian ports
of the Black Sea by 26 ships, of which two were Russian,
one Neapolitan, one Turkish, two Austrian, nine Greek,
and 11 Sardinian. The number of vessels which ar-
rived iu this port in one day laden with grain amounted
to 44. Accounts from Constantinople announce that
between the 2d and 16th of October there passed before
that port 140 ve:,sels laden with grain coming from the
Black gva, and belled fez Marseilles and Wetileu. 214960
