much as to say, "You have now been palavering here
For a month on a question that requires no debate. You
stop other business,—you stop supplies for increasing the
army and navy, while England is making the most un-
usual and extraordinary armaments and warlike pre-
parations, both at home and in her North American
possessions." What amount of additional sea and land
forces may be required, Mr. Pots, however, leaves as
much in the dark as ever. Some accounts say he wants
only ten war-steamers, with some frigates and
sloops ; but this evidently is not the extent
of his demands, for the Chairman of the
Naval Committee announced in the Senate that the num-
ber of new vessels recommended by the PRESIDENT was
much greater than the exigency required. From the
intelligence 'altogether we might draw these conclu-
sions:—that" Pout is fully determined on war with this
country, that he will not recede one inch from the line
of demarcation drawn in his annual Message, that he is
bent:on prompt measures for making armaments and
other warlike preparations, that nothing has been done,
and nothing can be done, by negotiations,
and that America must go on increasing
her " area," setting England, and France, and Spain
alike at defianee. It is impossible to lay down propo-
sitions by words in more unequivocal language than
those contained in that brief Message. But, notwith-
standing this violence, this blind fury against England,
we do not entirely give up all hopes of accommodation,
nor are we convinced that. if England only maintains
her rightful position, the people of the United States
will follow heedlessly the dictates of this dangerous and
unprincipled demagogue. The Senate evidently demurs to
his policy, the Naval Committee is not half so pugnacious as
POLE, the spare dollars are not very plentiful, the bonds
of the warlike and insolvent states of the west are worth
as much as their credit—that is, nothing ; the thriving,
industrious, and more respectable states on the Atlantic
coast have no wish to engage in a war, from which
they would be the first to suffer ; the slaveowners
in the south are still anxious to exchange their
cotton and tobacco for British manufactures ; they
wish also to avoid any commotion that might ulti-
mately agitate a sullen, enslaved, and revengeful
population ; and neither free states nor stave
states can have any great predeliction for war with a
country that could, with her powerful navy and her
active war-steamers, blockade every harbour, and put an
entire stop to commercial intercourse between them and
all the nations of the world. The " annexation of
Canada," and " whipping the Britishers," and " smash-
ing John Bull," are all fine-sounding phrases in the
mouth of an insolvent " far wester," who is safe
in his remote prairies and woods from the effects
of British cannon ; but they are not at all suited
to the taste of that numerous population who must bear
the brunt of an attack such as Great Britain never yet
made upon this haughty Republic. These facts are
known to POLK and Cass, as well as to WEBSTER. and
CALHOUN, and firmness on the part of England is all
that is required to make them act upon them too. We
are glad to find by this intelligence, that Lord ABER-
DEEN sent out no instructions by the Hibernia to
make any new offers. England has offered everything
that the most anxious desire for peace could suggest,
she has, in fact, almost humbled herself in the eyes of
France by the concessions already made. America is
not supported in her pretensions by any one power, even
the most jealous of England's greatness, and, to go a
step farther, would amount to national disgrace. Sir
ROBERT PEEL has announced his ultimatum—" England
has rights in the Oregon, and these rights she is pre-
pared to maintain."

Whenever the darker passions have betrayed them-
selves among the Irish population, reprobation has been
lavished on the offenders. Indignation and horror have
been expressed both by the Cabinet Ministers and by the
principal representatives of Ireland herself at the heinous
guilt of those assassinations, which have increased the
panic first excited by famine and disease. That a
thorough abhorrence for those crimes has been felt in
Downing-street, is evidenced by the various clauses of
the Coercion Bill ; and that Mr. O'CoNNELL has viewed
their recurrence with similar loathing is shown by the
authoritative expression of Lord CAMPBELL, that the
Member for Cork " had been always consistent in setting
his face against agrarian marauders," as well as by the
solemn and emphatic denunciations uttered by that
Learned Gentleman two days since in Conciliation Hall.
Every one will, therefore, allow that the villanies which
have transpired in that luckless land have elicited the
most violent execrations from all parties without distinc-
tion. The dark shades which mark the Irish character
have been painted in their true tones of gloom ; they
have, as it were, startled Parliament into an anxiety
for their obliteration ; they have drawn forth cries
of detestation and disgust from all whose ears have been
penetrated with the intelligence. That is a natural and
equitable indication of feeling ; and it is a feeling in
which we ourselves have partaken. Such a reception of
the account of those sanguinary deeds was commensu-
rate with the atrocity of the deeds themselves, and on
that account we designate the denunciations so univer-
sally expressed against the murderers as both natural
and equitable. Let us, however, as honest men,
and as men subservient to the same laws,
and animated by the same human blood, and
worshippers of the same GOD as these Irish people,
let us, we say, in a spirit of all honesty look at the more
agreeable traits in the character of that nation. When
we denounce the vice, let us at least, in Heaven's name,
acknowledge the virtue of that populace. If we merely
commemorate the stabbing, and the pistolling, and the
throttling, and the drowning perpetrated by the unprin-
cipled members of the Irish community, our judgment
would become biassed, our Government would become
harsh, our measures would be wholly coercive. To avoid this
it is incumbent upon the Legislature, upon Parliament,
and upon the Press, to observe the lighter portions of
the picture as well as the darker, to elucidate the beau-
tiful spirit of subordination evidenced by some portions
of the population of Ireland, as well as to stigmatise the
lawlessness of others. This is simple justice ; it
is a duty we are impelled to perform ; and in-
finitely do we rejoice when an opportunity
occurs which may enable us to demonstrate
the loyal sentiments still rife among the suffering
millions of our sister island. Such an opportunity is
before us—in itself an admirable contrast to the recent
agrarian assassinations. We allude to the starvation
meeting, held at Tory-hill, Croom, on Maunday Thurs-
day. The circumstances attendant upon that assembly,
as reported by the Limerick Chronicle, are exquisitely
touching, and are worthy of especial mention, if merely
as an evidence of the exceeding meekness and
submission with which a mob of famished labourers sub-
mit to an accumulation of the most dire calamities, and
follow the behests of their better consciences. A meeting,

it appears, was convened by advertisement, for the pur-
pose of giving a kind of demonstration of the local des-
titution, and with a view to the adoption of some plan
for its removal. Accordingly at the hour appointed,
some two thousand of the peasantry straggled up to
the summit of Tory-hill around a huge plaid
banner, hoisted there as "a rallying point and signal of
distress." Anxious to prevent any unfortunate conse-
quences, such as might be supposed likely to result from
suctiim assembly, the neighbouring priests endeavoured
to disperse the concourse. One of them, a Rev. Mr.

even proceeded so far as to pull the banner
down from its elevation ; but immediately upon his
departure it seems to have been again hoisted. Here
it was theta Reverend Gentleuaan,n-asmeff, and a
d FatherO'SHEA,idres
placed himself beneath the flag-staff,
the multitude. And it is the colloquy which ensuedsed
between himself and the peasantry which we conceive
to be so peculiarly touching; it is the communion be-
tween warm hearts—between one who loves the many,
and the many who revere the one. Let us transcribe
the scene entire, for any alteration would ruin its beauty ;
and then let us ask all who read it if they imagine a
race of men so gentle and obedient in times of the fiercest
privation are incapable of being modelled to better
things, and guided to brighter days:—
" Boys," said Father O'Shea in a playful and conciliating
manner, " Boys, I suppose this is the banner under which I
have to fight ? You have at all times and places respected
your clergy, and I beg to ask now if you will entertain that
respect for them and their counsel ?—( Cries of We do.')
Then I call upon you to prove it, by removing this standard.
(The mandate w 25 immediately obeyed, and the banner removed.)
Now, then, as a friend, I have to protest against your as-
sembling in this manner—it is illegal fur you , to do so, and
at the present time most imprudent.—( Cries of 'We want
work.') I know you do, and that man is not living who
feels more for your wretched and destitute condition than
I do.—( Hear, hear.) You have at all times linked your-
selves with the clergy of your church, for your and our in-
I terests is one and the same, and I trust, therefore, you will
not be guilty of any illegal conduct that would disconnect
us from each other.—(No, no.) I know you will not.
We have done everything in our power to procure employ-
went for you. The resident landed proprietors have done
so, and I trust Government will, in ten or twelve days,
set going the works applied for in this district, and give
vou -employment.—( Cries of 'We will be starved before then.')
-God forbid. I implore of you to bear your sufferings and
feel that

Rev. Mr. O'Shea then conjured them to leave the hill, and
return peaceably and quietly to their homes, observing that
if their meeting was legally convened, he would himeelf

preside, and join them in devising means to provide food and
emr.loyment. In conclusion (he sam). he felt confident Go-
vernment would act with liberality—and he trusted, with
promptitude—under the present trying emergency. If Go-
vernment did not do so, he would himself point out where
food was to be procured.—(Hear.)"
In consequence of this address, the multitude immedi-
ately dispersed without the sl.ghtest indication of sul-
lenness or tumult. We have transcrited the entire of
the above speech, with its remarkable interpolations,
notwithstanding a full report of the occurrence
is given in another column. We do this be-
cause we conceive it evinces in every syllable such a
plastic temperament in the better portions of the Irish
peasantry, as if known, and if used, would be produc-
tive of the happiest results. Let the effect of the Coer-
cion Bill be assuaged, by accompanying it with amelio-
rative measures, and the peace, and prosperity, and good
will of Ireland may be insured.

It is stated in the Frankfort German Journal that the
General Assembly of the Comitat of Szabolese in
Croatia, which met on the 16th, had voted an address to
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, beseeching him to spare the
effusion of blood in Poland, and regulate the affairs of
that country with justice, and also to convoke a Diet.
The following is the reply of the EMPEROR to the
petition :
" We have read with great dissatisfaction the repre-
sentation in which you have dared to criticise the reso-
lutions we have addressed to the general congregation of
the United Kingdom, and to direct outrageous attacks
against the results of that congregation. Your repre-
sentations are not only wanting in all the respect which
is due to our royal authority, but they denote also a
want of respect for the memory of your ancestors. They
proved on all occasions, and in suitable terms, their at-
tachment to our Imperial house; but you have had the
temerity, while referring to them and turning the legal
authority into derision, to pretend to cover your
unworthy attempts with the mantle of their
fidelity. We the more disapprove of your conduct as
your remonstrance, dictated by this temerity, demon-
strates in the most evident manner that you have not re-
flected that you yourselves, as well as all the states of
the United Kingdom, have at different times laid com-
plaints at the foot of the throne, pointing out the indis-
pensable necessity of re-establishing order in your as-
semblies. Coasyquently, to show ourselves what we
have ever wished to be throughout the couLlutianoo of
our reign—the protector of the laws and the preserver
of order—we command you, exhorting you with firm-
ness, not to lose sight of the fidelity and respect you owe
to us, and to observe henceforth in your discussions the
forms prescribed by the laws, in order that we may not
be under the painful necessity of punishing those who
prefer rashness to moderation."

Letters from Athens of the 31st ult. state that Sir
EDMUND LYONS had called upon the Greek Government
to appropriate the surplus revenue to the payment of the
dividends of the debt, and had insisted on the investment
of the entire interest and sinking fund from the Ist of
September next,

The accounts from Madrid are to the 7th inst. On
the 6th and 7th the soldiers at the military posts in
Madrid were doubled, and General PEZUELA had
adopted every precaution to secure the public tranquillity.
At the moment that NARVAEZ, accompanied by his aide-
de-camp, M. GARNER, left Madrid, he was presented by
Brigadier ARMERO, in the QUEEN'S name, with a com-
mission as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Neapolitan
Court. NARVAEZ, however, refused to accept the ap-
pointment, and returned the commission to her MA-
JESTY. Previous to his departure he held a farewell
levee, which was attended by the French Ambassador,
MM. MON, PIDAL, OLIVAN, SANTA COLONA, DONOSO,
CORTES ; Generals ORIBE, SORIA, ORAA, FIGUERAS,
and others ; MM. SEIJAS, LOZANO, CALDERON, COL-
LANTES, SARTORIUS, SANTA OLALLA, &C. At the mo-
ment of his departure M. ISTURITZ begged the QUEEN to
cancel the order for his exit, but was refused, on the
ground that Queen CHRISTINA was determined he
should go.
M. ISTURITZ had not completed his Cabinet. MM.
MON and PENA AGUAYO had refused to join a Cabinet
of which M. EGANA was a member. ISTURITZ had
made overtures to Generals MANUEL DE LA CONCHA
RONCALI, FIGUERAS, and SORIA, and they had had in-
terviews with the QUEEN, but none of them had yet
agreed to join the Cabinet. It was expected that EGANA
would be forced to retire.

The news from Gallicia confirms the intelligence we
announced yesterday that a pronunciantiento had taken
place at Lugo against NARVAEZ. No serious apprehen-
sions were entertained, as it was supposed that the dis-
grace of NARVAEZ would put an end to the insurrection.
General CONCHA, however, had proceeded to the dis.

turbed districts at the head of a considerable
force. The Espanol has re-appeared, and the
L'iempo will re-appear in a few days. Before
commencing the re-publication of the Espanol, the
editors had an interview with the Ministers, ISTURITZ
and Iloarta, and learned from therm that dip decree
against the press was virtually repealed.'
Everything continued tranquil at Madrid.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The
previous day being Easter Sunday, only three papers
were published in Paris on Monday, the Courrier Fran-
cais, the Democratic Pacifique, and Galignani's Messen-
ger. It is stated by the Courrier Francais that Tisso-
\visit", who, during the late Polish insurrection, was in-
stalled as Dictator at Cracow, had been arrested in
Saxony. At the time of his arrest he had a French pass-
port, and had appealed for protection to the French Minis-
ter at Dresden. It was believed, however, that the Saxon
Government had determined to give him up to the Aus-
trian authorities. We find in the same journal a letter
from Vienna, stating that the authorities in Gallicia had
received orders to reward the peasants who had distin-
guished themselves by their loyalty to Austria. The
same writer states that the Austrian Government—

" Has established a special office for opening letters, and
it has been imitated in that respect by the Prussian Cabinet.
The intercepted letters are either destroyed or deposited in
the archives to serve as criminating documents. Several
persons have already been arrested, particularly in Gallicia,
in consequence of that odious inquisition. It was the death
of the Prior of the Ligurians, who committed suicide on hearing
that his secrets had been thus discovered, that opened the
eyes of the public on the subject. The police has in its pay
a multitude of spies, who do not even ake the trouble of
conceal ing their mission, and live in Austria like bands of
conduttieri in a conquered country."

Lord and Lady PALmEasTox dined on Easter Sunday
with the KING, and had accepted dinner invitations from
each of the Ministers.

On Monday afternoon the discussion on the Naval
Budget commenced in the Chamber of Deputies. Lord
PALMERSTON was present in the tribune appropriated to
the Foreign Ambassadors.
The son of LUCIEN BUONAPARTE had arrived at Havre
from England, en route for Paris, to visit his mother, the
Princess of CANINO. He will afterwards proceed to
Rome.

The Messager of Friday evening states that the Minis-
ter of War, having been informed that the workmen buried
in the tunnel of Courcelles were likely to remain in their
perilous position some days longer, has given orders for a de-
tachment of sappers to proceed immediately to the spot to
assist in the efforts making to extricate them. The same
journal bas the following from Meaux, dated the 9th r—
" The position of the workmen has improved since yester-
day. Provisions are conveyed to them with ease since tho
water-course has been cleared, and they have an abundant
supply of air, as there are now three ventillators put up.
The correspondence of two of these men with their wives
show that their courage has not diminished, and that the
whole party look forward with confidence to their release.
Their health creates no uneasiness. Some serious symptoms,
such as head-ache and swelling of the legs, had manifested
themselves, but they appear to have ceased. The first works
for their release have been abandoned, as there was danger
to the men employed upon them ; the second lateral gallery
proceeds at the rate of seven to eight metres per day. The
chief engineer, M. Marinet, has sent a note to the men, who
are shut out from the light of day, indicating what they may
do towards hastening their emancipation. If they follow
his instructions they may be extricated on Saturday (this
day); if not their freedom will only be postponed one or two
days beyond that time, supposing that no new accident should
occur."

The following is frgn New Brunswick :-" The wea-

genial. A large porton of the snow has disappeared
from the woods, and in the neighbourhood of the city
the streets are quite hire. The rivers are beginning to
swell, and a speedy opening of the streams is expected,
as the effect of recent rains, which have fallen with
little intermission the last two or three days. The river
steamers, it is thought, will be upon their routes by the
10th of April-nearly three weeks earlier than last
year-by which time a number of vessels will have
arrived from sea, assisted by the late easterly winds,
and the business of the season be in full operation.
