LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1846.

We are afraid too much truth is unhappily com-
pressed into an observation, uttered on Monday after-
noon in Conciliation-hall, namely, that the millions
of Ireland " had suffered more than any other people
on the face of the earth, and had actually diminished
in population owing to their sufferings !" Privation
seems, indeed, to be the natural heritage of the Irish
peasantry. Engaged upon the most laborious employ-
ments--honsed in the most dilapidated hovels—fed upon
the scantiest sustenance, such as diluted meal por-
ridge, or a platter of dry potatoes, they are inces-
santly at the mercy of all the vicissitudes of the wea-
ther, of all the fluctuations in the temperament of
their landlirds, of all those sudden distempers
which result from insufficient nourishment,
and inadequate shelter. Even when their occu-
pations are of the most satisfactory—or, rather, of the
least unsatisfactory—character their existence is still
one of remarkable indigence, of unceasing toil, and
continues throughout most lamentably precarious.
To search for domestic comforts in the cabin of an
Irish peasant would be about as rational an em-
ployment as to hunt after emeralds in an ordinary
dunghill. Many of our English peasantry are un•
questionably and unfortunately subjected to almost
comparable grievances ; the agricultural labourers of
Dorsetshire for example, are a miserable and con-
spicuous evidence of this fact. But throughout every
individual county of England we could, nevertheless
produce instances of a quite contrary description—
peasants happy, contented, industrious, living in
pleasant cottages, feeding on wholesome provisions,
surrounded by thriving families. Throughout the
whole length and breadth of Ireland it would be dif-
ficult to adduce half-a-dozen examples of a similar
character. In the aggregate the peasantry of that
island are immeasurably inferior in point of domestic
Comfort to the peasantry of any other country of equal

dimensions. Travellers have attested this ; I •ord
DEVON'S Commission has avouched it with the most
solemn and oppressive distinctness. The fact re quires
no demonstration ; it is admitted by persons, enter-
taining every variety of political and e',le,easiastical
. opinion. The wretchedness of the Irish 'peasantry is
so universally acknowledged that it is employed
now-a-days as the illustration of the ruost direful speci-
mens of individual destitution.Jinowing, therefore,
the habitual and prevalent Pov arty of these unhappy
'ar ale adequate conception of beings, we can entertain s
the utter and grinding w Ecnt of which such a visitation
as that of the destrucflion of the potato crop must be
..trit recognise that not merely
productive. We m
must the labourer, himself be deprived of the little
previously nourished himself and ,
food, which had,
those dependent, upon him for their subsistence—but,
that he necer.„sarily loses the employment which hail
originally 'brought him a few shillings per we el,
namely, the digging of the potato-fields, the cal.ting
of their produce, and other incidental labours. Ee-
, 'sides being thus denied his annual stock of IT gezables
and his weekly pittance, the pig, ordinarily, 'fattened
for the payment of his rent, becomes too costly an
appurtenance to his household ; and the Irishman is
thus plunged into immediate difficulties, with a pros-
pect of a still more irrvarahle emharrassment.
Such calculations of the miseries at present rife in
Ireland are corrob'jrated by ,every successive packet.
The famished I,abourers &re congregating together
upon the hills in a state of mind closely bordering on
der,peration.. The different boards of guardians are
evidence, by an unwonted alacrity in their
movements, that something of a preventative character
must be done, and that immediately, or otherwise the
patience of the sufferers will be altogether vanquished
by the pangs of hunger, and disturbances increase
the miseries of the various districts. Petitions are
already flocking in upon Lord BESBOROUGH, implor-
ing his Lordship to avail himself of the prerogatives
and powers committed to his discretion in behalf of
the afflicted multitude. At Killarney a large meeting
was convened under the direction of the Earl of KEN•
MARE, at which meeting a considerable number of local
magistrates and gentlemen were present. So urgent
did the necessities of the population of the adjacent
barony of Magordby appear, that those individuals
were hurriedly assembled together for the purpose of
inquiring what measures of alleviation were most
advisable. Not the least emphatic evidence of the
wide extension of the potato murrain and of the ab-
solute necessity thereby entailed upon the Legisla-
ture of an active endeavour to supply the deficiency,
is that simple, but significant resolution, passed in
a meeting of gentlemen and ratepayers in the town
of Bells, county of Meath. Here it is, and surely
it requires no comment or elaboration
" Resolved—That the Act 10th Victoria, chap. 107,
has ing contemplated only an apprehended failure of a
portion of the potato crop of the present season in Ire-
land,' does not afford an adequate or suitable remedy
for the loss of the whole crop.'

Such are the opinions of the more intelligent and
affluent inhabitants of Ireland with respect to the
exigencies of the present emergency. The next dan-
ger to be apprehended is that the starving peasants
should themselves be impressed with a similar con-
viction. Greater calamities would inevitably result
therefrom. The Irish sufferers would immediately
regard the Government and local authorities as equally
apathetic, and insubordination would be the imme-
diate consequence. This, we maintain, must be
seriously apprehended, unless some strenuous exer-
tions be made by the landlords. Often as we have
repeated this before, we shall never tire of insisting
upon those exigencies upon the acknowledgment of
which the happiness and the lives of so many thou-
sands are dependent.

Two remarkable occurrences have already demon-
strated that the Irish labourers are being trifled with
over-much, and that their meekness and forbearance,
under their existing accumulation of sorrows, are yield-
ing at last to the dictates of famine and indignation.
On Friday afternoon, according to the Cork Reporter,
several agricultural workmen entered their office as a
deputation from Ballyfeared, with an advertisement
declaring that the miseries experienced in the barony
of Kinnalea were so direful, and that the sufferers
were so entirely overlooked by those upon whom
their preservation from death devolved, that unless
provisions were contributed within a stipulated
period, " forcible means would be had recourse to to
procure it !" The other circumstances occurred at
the demonstration of about three hundred starving
labourers, held on Wednesday last, immediately
before the castle of Eyrecourt, near Ballinasloe. The
manner of these three hundred peasants is wonder-
fully striking. They are starving, and yet they are
passive : they remonstrate with their landlord upon
their forlorn and destitute condition, and they tell
him that, notwithstanding their anxiety to pre-
serve all reasonable order and sobriety, they
cannot and will not perish while they are surrounded
by plenty, and that it is madness to expect them to
act otherwise. These illustrations of the want of
employment and provisions in Ireland cannot be too
incessantly or too forcibly pressed upon public atten-
tion. The devastation has been rapid and general—
its correction should in like manner be rapid and
general. The antidote should be as powerful as the
poison, or the pernicious effects of the latter cannot
be counteracted.

The Duke of BEAUFORT is determined to obtain
a share of that disgrace which has of late attached
to some other members of his order. He ap-
pears desirous of emulating their Graces of NEW-
CASTLE and BUCKINGHAM, the Marquis Of EXETER,
and other Noble Lords, who during the last session
of Parliament afforded the strongest evidence of the
violation of the constitutional doctrine, that Peers
should not interfere in the elections of the repre-
sentatives of the people. On Monday we re-published
an article from the Gloucester Journal, which states
that notices to quit have been served on several of
his Grace's tenants, who (although as yet they have
committed no offence) may possibly have the manli-
ness to think for themselves, and not submit to be
dictated to by the Duke, or his underlings, and to
be driven to the hustings like a flock of unreasoning
animals, to record their votes in favour of any
nominee, whom it may please their landlord to
honour with his approbation. The lash is to be kept
suspended over them ready to fall if they should pre-
sume to act according to the dictates of honour and
conscience. The freedom and purity of election is
to be exemplified in Monmouthshire, family ties are
to be disregarded, fraternal affection set at naught,
all the bonds of relationship to be severed and dis-
united at the fell dictates of party spirit and party
vengeance. The present case is even worse than any
of those of a similar character by which it was pre-
ceded. If the Duke of NEWCASTLE sacrificed a son,
the heir apparent to his title and possessions, and
arrayed himself in open hostility against the inhe-
ritor of his honours, he might at least plead that at
that time the great, the important measures of free
trade had not received the legislative sanc-
tion, that his act, objectionable as it was
in every respect, might yet be productive
of some benefit to the cause which he was
at all hazards prepared to support. It was not that
he loved his son less, but that he loved protection
more. Such a plea, however, cannot be set up on
behalf of the Duke of BEAUFORT. The cause of pro-
tection has departed. It is happily numbered amongst
the things that have been. There is no longer
a hope for the re-enactment of corn-laws to tax a
nation's food for the supposed benefit of a class. The
most sanguine monopolist can hardly hope for a re-
newal of the objectionable impost. The expulsion of
Lord GR_ANVILLII SOMERSET from the representation
of Monmouthshire therefore can only be regarded as
an act of cold-blooded vengeance, a punishment to be
inflicted, because his Lordship, a man of sense and
experience, a Cabinet Minister, entrusted with an
important position in the Government of the country,
and deeply responsible to the nation at large for
the manner in which he should discharge the
duties committed to his hands, yielded a reluctant
consent to measures which he felt were imperatively
demanded by the intelligence of the people, and any
continued opposition to which must be utterly use-
less and impracticable, and because he aided and
assisted his sagacious and disinterested leader in pass-
ing through the Legislature the necessary enact-
ments. It is hardly surprising that his Grace, when
once he had determined on such a course, should
hesitate about the means for carrying his wishes into
execution. The man who could presume to dictate
to a brother far more experienced than himself in

political affairs—who could hope to exact from such
a man a blind obedience to his lordly will and plea-
sure, would hardly be disposed to respect the opinions
and the desires of his tenantry. Manliness of cha-
meter has ever been considered the characteristic of
English yeomen, and any attempt to coerce by
unfair means the honint extezession of opinion,
to reduce to a state of villeinatge and serfdom an In-
dependent tenantry will, most undoubtedly, provoke
the opposition it; is intended to suppress. We can
scarcely supr,ose that his Grace would venture to
carry inter,
to
,effect the threats he has uttered, that
the oti
quit which it is stated have been already
in anticipation of, and preparation for, the
general election which must shortly take place, will
e ver be acted on. We must emphatically warn his
Grace, as we have repeatedly warned the Irish land-
lords, " that property has its duties as well as its
rights ;" and that any attempt to exceed the fair and
legitimate exercise of those rights, is sure to be
visited with a full and ample measure of retributive
justice. The walls of the Senate House have rung
with the indignant eloquence of those who have re-
probated and exposed the vile system of clear-
ing estates, no matter what might be the ex-
citing cause. The public press throughout
the nation has, with scarcely an exception, advocated
the cause of the expelled tenantry, and has directed
the public opinion of the country to a just feeling of in-
dignation against their heartless oppressors. The entire
landlord and tenant code, which appeared to have been
framed with a sole view to the benefit of the first-
named class, has in the sister country been subjected
to revision, and close attention to its details and valu-
able and extensive alterations and reforms have been
suggested for the purpose of annulling the objection-
able parts, and at last placing the occupiers and culti-
vators of the soil in the enjoyment of their just rights
and privileges. The Ulster tenant right has become
known to the nation at large, the popular
voice has demanded its extension throughout
the remainder of Ireland, wed there is little doubt but
that if British landlords abuse their power and
privileges, that they will, in Lire manner, be
subjected to control, and that they will be
deprived of rights the exercise of which can
no longer be safely entrusted to them. We
should be sorry that any indiscreet or intemperate
conduct should demand a change in the social rela-
tions between landlord and tenant in England. We
are satisfied that the cultivation of kindly feelings,
of mutual regard and confidence is of the utmost
value to both parties. The landlord who treats his
tenantry well, who comforts and assists them, and
discharges properly the duties of his situation, will
deservedly attain great influence. Many of the occu-
piers will from love yield that which they would
never give from a baser motive ; but there is a limit
which must not be passed, a boundary line which
must not be crossed. 'We sincerely hope that such a
trespass may not be attempted ; but, should it un-
fortunately be the case, it will be the duty of honest
journalists to denounce the transgressors, to submit
their conduct to the ordeal of public opinion, and, if

necessary, to call upon the nation, by the peaceful but
irresistible force of argument and reason, to demand
the abolition of the objectionable and abused powers.

Accounts from Rome state that the POPE is devot-
ing his attention to the settlement of the diplomatic
relations of the Court of Rome with the Ottoman
Porte, with a view to promote the trade of Italy with
the Levant. Count EscaLoN, the Roman Consul at
Marseilles, has been ordred to proceed to Constanti-
nople on this mission. France will afford him every
facility to bring his negotiation to a successful termi-
nation.

The inhabitants of Ancona have presented to
Monsignore Rossi, the delegate of the province,
an address, which had been voted by acclamation,
demanding—first, the permission to erect a monument
to Pius IX. ; second, a convocation of new provincial
councils, which would efficiently represent the wishes
and wants of the provinces, and endowed with the
power of proposing the necessary measures for the
welfare of the people. The news of this popular de-
monstration soon spread through the different lega-
tions, and caused a great sensation.

It would appear that the valley of the Appenthal is
not to be added to France, notwithstanding the
alleged agreement for its sale by the Canton of Vaud.
In the sitting of the Swiss Diet at Zurich, on the
10th September, the President declared that the re-
port current among the public that Appenthal was to
be added to France, was void of foundation. The
valley is one league and a half in length, and one
league in breadth, with two or three hundred inhabi-
tants, and is of great importance in a military point
of view. The deputy of the Canton de Vaud stated
that the inhabitants considered themselves as Swiss,
and proved by documents that the valley formed part
of the confederation. He said that the conduct of
France was not very honourable, and demanded that
the matter should be laid before the Vorort, as it was
important for it to be made public that the confedera-
tion did not intend renouncing any of its rights. The
proposition was unanimously adopted.

The following proclamation, dated Sans Souci,
Sept. 4, has been issued by the King of PRUSSIA on
the subject of the late disturbances at Cologne :—" I
have learnt with much sorrow, by the reports of the
authorities, and through the address of the Burgo-
master and of the Municipal Council of Cologne, of
the 14th instant, that a considerable number of the
inhabitants not only opposed the measures taken by
the police for the tranquillity of the town, and offered
resistance to the troops called out to enforce order,
but that they also assailed them with stones. Re-
sistance to the authorities is everywhere a serious
offence, especially in a town which may justly be
called one of the ramparts of Germany.
The interference of the troops is therefore
wrongfully termed insignificant in the address. I
am of opinion that, on the contrary, the riot
ought to have been put down by force of arms, and
that it is greatly to be regretted that one man was
killad, and others dangerously wounded, as stated in
the reports. My troops showed a general coolness
and praiseworthy moderation, so much so, that I ex-
pressed my satisfaction to them on their conduct,
through the Commander-in-Chief. If, as it is stated
in the address, without however being proved, peaceful
citizens were ill-treated by the soldiers in parts of the
town distant from the scene of tumult, or if they
have committed any other excesses, the offenders shall
be punished according to the rigour of martial law.
I acknowledge the services of the citizens in endea-
vouring to maintain order; but I blame the more the
organization of a civic guard, without the express
sanction of the authorities, as it might be thought
that the civil and military authorities, after
having resorted to force, entrusted the mainte-
nance of order to the citizens, whilst it is my express
desire to avoid even the appearance of such weakness.
If the municipal authorities complain of not having
been informed of the measures taken for the evening
of the 4th, principally of an imposing military force
(as it is stated) on the market-place, I declare that
after what took place on the evening before that the
appearance on duty of those two hundred men was
not an extraordinary measure, and that it was excus-
able, as on the one side it was a precaution against
further excesses; and on the other side, that the
burgomaster was informed of the fact. Neverthe-
less, according to the wish expressed, I have ordered
that, in future, when extraordinary measures are
deemed requisite, time permitting, the municipal
authorities shall be informed, so as in their turn to
inform the citizens, and to demand their concurrence.
I have reason to hope that the good sense of the citi-
zens and of the authorities will prevent the occur-
rence of such events in future."
The attention of the Diet at Frankfort is almost
exclusively occupied by the consideration of the
affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.

Madrid papers of the 9th have been received.

The Comercio states that Mr. BULWER has ad-
dressed a second note to Senor ISTURITZ of a very
energetic character, on the subject of the MoNTrEN-
HER alliance. The Herald° admits the fact of a se-
cond note having been sent, but declares that it was
but a repetition of the former note, " pointing out
anew the grave complications to which the projected
union might give rise." The Spanish Government
is evidently ill at ease on the subject of this alliance,
and hence the eagerness of the Herald() to catch at
straws for the purpose of inducing a belief that the
English Government is in agreement with that of J

France on the subject of the marriage. "On the
30th of August," says the Heraklo, "the news of
this projected alliance was received at Paris by a tele-
graphic dispatch. The dispatch sent off by King Louis
PUILLIPPE'S Government to his Ambassador at Ma-
drid, ratifying the treaty of alliance, was forwarded
from Paris on the 4th of September. Five days have
therefore elapsed between the two communications,
which is sufficient time for the exchanging of notes
between the Erglish and French Cabinets."
" Hence," concludes the Heraldo," the KING having
ratified the proposed union, the logical consequence to
be drawn is, that the two greatest Cabinets of Europe
are not divided upon this affair." A conclusion
jumped at rather than drawn—not warranted by the
premises, and proving that M. le Comte BRESSON,
from whose inspiration the Herald() speaks, is by no
means so sanguine on the subject of the success of this
his pet intrigue, as he would fain make the world
believe he is.

There were rumours in Madrid of a Carlist rising
in Catalonia, rumours which the _Herald ° seems at
particular pains to discredit, although the warning
contained in the French Government paper,
L' Epoque, of the same day, would seem to confirm
their truth. "We warn the Spanish Carlists," says
L'Eperue, speaking evidently as the official organ of
M. GUIZOT, " we warn the Spanish Carlists that we
are fully aware of their having held sundry meetings
in Paris in the last week, and of CABRERA. having
been questioned, consulted, and excited."

We have received the French papers of Monday.
The Constitutionne/ prints the following paragraph
in large type :
" It is affirmed that the Duke de Montpensier's de-
parture for Madrid has been postponed, atter the meet-
ing of a Cabinet Council."

This report would seem to be corroborated by the
circumstance that the Ministerial prints all cautiously
abstain from fixing any day for the Duke's departure,
and by the fact that the Marquis DESCAZES arrived
on Saturday in Paris from Madrid, bringing
with him dispatches for the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.

The Opposition journals still continue to denounce
the MONTPENSIEB. marriage as one which, however
advantageous it may be to the family of ORLEANS
personally, cannot but be disadvantageous to French
national interests. " Whom," asks the National,
" can the Government expect to delude by represent-
ing this marriage advantageous to our country ? Let
the dynasty exult upon it, but let a single instance be
cited of France having derived benefit from all her
unions of Princes ? If, indeed, the people of Spain had
shown satisfaction at what was preparing, if it had
seen in it a testimony of respect for its independence,
a pledge for a sincere and durable alliance between
two nations working in concert to secure the triumph
of those great principles of liberty and equality which
are now sown on all those lands on which the plough-
share of revolution has traced the furrows ! But if we
except the officials of Madrid, all parties are protesting
all the citizens are irritated, and, instead of drawing'
clo-er to us, Spain is separating herself from us, and,
turning her eyes towards England ; she considers this
marriage to be an act of violence, as the precursor of
new troubles, new civil wars; the citizens protest
publicly against it, they address petitions to the
QUEEN, in Which France is reviled ; they see approach-
ing, as the sponsor of these fatal names, the bloody
sabre of NARVAEZ ; and, even here, the Court journal
declares that this union will have the effect of con-
solidating at Madrid the detestable regime which was
introduced there by fraud and force."

The Courrier Franc,ais has the following, on the
consequences that must ari-e from the reactionary
policy pursued by the present Government of Spain,
of which this marriage is a principal indication :
" The state of Spain is becoming more and more com-
plicated—a terrible explosion cannot fail to take place.
We have not laid before the public the letters which we
have received from Spain during the last few days. For
this we had two reasons—the first of which is, that they
contained predictions so alarming that we felt it to be
our duty to wait till they were confirmed by events; the
second reason is, that they contained naturally many
contradictions on the great question of the moment. We
would speak of the disposition of England since the
hand of the Infanta Maria Luisa Ferdinanda was
granted to the Duke de Montpensier. These contradic-
tions, however, do not bear upon simple details. What
is certain is, the resentment of England, and the perils
which this resentment must infallibly bring upon
Spain. All the world knows the tenor and bearing of
the representations addressed by Mr. Bulwer
to M. Isturitz. The English Ministers had not
then received any positive instructions from his
Government. But a matter was in question on
which he could make energetic protestations with-
out fear of compromising himself, and Mr. Bulwer did not
hesitate to make them formally. Nevertheless, the mar-
riage of the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta will
be accomplished. The Madrid Gazette announced it
officially, and yesterday morning this new triumph
was trumpted in the columns of the Debuts.
Of little importance is the implacable discontent
of the Progressist party—of little importance is the
insurmountable repugnance it bas created in the Puritan
fraction, the truly Constitutional fraction of the Moderate
party—of little importance are the threatening alarms
of public opinion, an explosion of which has never
been more menacing, even on the eve of the most for-
midable pronunciamientos. The reaction is infatuated
with its triumph; it is struck with that blindness which
caused the ruin in 1834 of the partisans of the Estatuto
real and, in 1840, of Queen Christina herself. Unhappy
Spain is the only country, perhaps, in the world in which
a retrograde Government knows not how to open its ears
to the legitimate complaints of public opinion. Let,
therefore, the Cabinet of Madrid persist to the last in its
reactionary projects. It will have to sustain an open
conflict with an immense majority of the Spanish nation.
What use is there in reminding it, when it will neither
see nor listen to anything, of the disastrous consequences
which have at all times fallen upon Governments which
have been misled into such contentions?"

The French Government appears to be by no
means easy on the subject of Algeria. The Journal
des DebaEs, which would, of course, rather under-
state than overstate disagreeable news from Africa,
says—

" From the different accounts which have reached
France, it results that Abd-el-liader is at present en-
gaged in re-establishing his Deira, that is, his small
army, from the Morocco tribes of the mountains of the
Rif, but does not seem to be likely at an early day to
attempt a new invasion of Algeria. The frontier is well
guarded at all points, and the troops of the division of
Oran are ready to move in any direction at a moment's
aotice. The forts of Ghazaouat, Maghrnia, Sebdon,
and Dais, which are on the line, are provisioned suffi-
cient to supply such columns as may have to advance
beyond it. General Darbouville, commandant ad interim
of the province of Oran, is keeping a constant look-
, out. General Cavaignac, who commands the sub-division
of Tlemcen, has a strong force on foot extending from
Maghrnia to Sebdon; and Colonel Pourailly, recently
made Major-General, is posted at Ghazacuat with six
battalions of infantry and five squadron of horse. In
Morocco it appears that the ascendancy which the Emir
is evidently gaining over some of the tribes causes great
uneasiness in the Court of Fez, and has induced it to
take measures to oppose him. The part to be taken by
the French generals on the frontier must necessarily be
that of a vigilant and armed observation, until the in-
trigues of Abd-el-Kader are absolutely defeated, and the
new operations in Morocco rendered abortive.
Lieutenant-Colonel COVERT DE COGNORD, one of
the French prisoners detained at the Deira of AIM-
EL-KADER, has written the following letter to his
father-in-law, dated August 15 :--
" I take advantage of the departure of an Arah
courier, the bearer of a letter to Lalla-Maghrnia, respect-
ing an interchange of prisoners, which I was requested
to address to General Cavaignac, to inform you that
lam still in the land of the living. The Emir is
quite willing that an exchange of prisoners should
take place, but does not wish it to be at Tan-
giers, or through the medium of the Moors. The letter
which I send to the General is to request him to inform
the Marshal that Abd-el Kader refuses to accept the
mediation of the Consul at Tangiers, who was the per-
son designated for the exchange; but that he is ready to
consent if the Marshal will entrust the affair to one of
his generals, and that the exchange take place near
Lalla-Maghrnia. Thus, if the Marshal consents, our
'unhappy condition may soon be changed. If he does
not consent, as we fare worse every day, we may re-
nounce all hope of seeing our country again. Colonel
Gagnon has spoken continually to me of the sympathy
felt for us in France and in the army. All that is very
honourable; but how comes it that with all those sym-
pathies our Government has not the humanity to release
us from this horrible position in which it has left us for
eleven months, when all that is demanded in exchange
for our freedom, is the freedom of fifteen or eighteen
prisoners, some of them women and children; surely
this is not known in France. As yet we have sup-
ported our unhappy fate with resignation, but it has now
become insupportable, and we only hold out in the
hope that the Government or the Marshal will soon put
an end to our sufferings. Our wounds are all healed,
but we all suffer more or less from the effects of our
sad fate."
