Independently of the excitement which novelty of
any sort produces amongst us, the announcement of
Mr. Stanley's removal from the office of Secretary
for Ireland is likely to afford general sltisfaction.
Though partisans of every colour and denomination
admit his talents to be of the higher order; and
moderate politicians, not blinded by patty zeal, go
so far as to believe integrity of purpose to be an in-
gredient amongst his qualifications as a statesman;
still all agree that, in the present crisis of affairs, his
services could be neither acceptable nor beneficial to
this county. Whether, therefore, accident or de-
sign have changed the venue of his efficiency, the
circumstance is hailed as the harbinger of a better
policy towards this portion of the United Kingdom.
The Ministry have now a good opportunity of re-
tracing a false step, which might lead to disastrous
consequences. Mr. Stanley's plan for the abolition
of tithes was decidedly bad ; and if any one thing,
more than another, has fomented the disturbances
and bloodshed of the last twelve months, it was his
blundering legislation and conduct on this important
subject. It is hoped that Earl Grey's Cabinet have
seen and felt this, and now avail themselves of the
fittest opportunity for correcting it. " If," says
Burke, " there is any one eminent criterion, which,
above all the rest, distinguishes a wise Government
from an Administration weak arid improvident, it is
this : Well to know the best time and manner of
yielding what it is impossible to keep." Public
opinion has declared unanimously, and a Committee
of Parliament hasfiated this declaration—that tithes
ought to be for ever extinguished in this country
Government vacillates between public expediency
and private interests and partialities, as long as they
delay carrying such a fiat into execution. This is
the first step that can be safely and effectually made
towards the tranquillity of Leland. Toete are, no
doubt, numerous other grievances to be redressed ;
but none so immediately within the reach of Govern-
ment as this; and, consequently, none to which they
should sooner direct their attention. " Tithes,"
said Paley, nearly fifty years ago, " are a tax, not
only upon industry, but upon that industry which
feeds mankind—upon that species of exertion which
it is the aim of all wise laws to cherish and support,
and to uphold and excite which composes the main
benefit that the community receives from the whole
system of trade and the success of commerce." If
this be applicable to Protestant England, which the
author had chiefly in view when he wrote it, how
much more so is it to Catholic Ireland, where tithes
have long lain, not only as an incubus upon the in-
dustry, trade, and commerce of the people, but an
outrage to the people's religion, and feeling of
justice ? A great portion of that people are, at
this moment, in a state of more than savage insubor-
dination—a terror to the other and more happy
portion of the community, and, I fear, the destined
victims of some vile agitators, who convert their
misery and wretchedness to illusory and selfish
purposes. And will the Government trust to mar-
tial law alone for the security of person and pro-
perty, endangered more by the sense of injury which
the tithe system has impressed on people's minds,
than by all the other misfortunes which it is the lot
of the poor of this land to be subject to for centuries
past ? Be assured, tithes will ever be an obstacle to
the suet ss of any measure of peace or improve-
ment, because they are pointed at by all, as an ex-
ample of outrage and insult upon that class of men
who can feel the oppression, but do not understand
the consequences to themselves of their savage
efforts to remove it. A change in the Government
of this country has suggested tithes as first on the
catalogue of miseries to which we are exposed;
because I think it a favourable opportunity of re-
minding our rulers to do what they should have
done twelve months ago—completely extinguish
them, as the first step of amelioration. lam not,
however, ignorant that, at this moment, there exists
a lawless and irrational spirit of insubordination and
sanguinary violence, much beyond what tithes, or
arty other oppression, could create, and which must
be suppressed; but I am convinced that, unless
measures of coercion be accompanied by measures
of such redress as the predial agitators can under-
stand, these latter will not be forced, by the example
arid influence of their less culpable neighbours, to
abandon, much less be deterred by courtsmartial
from, their evil ways. A part of Ireland is now in
a worse state than actual insuirection; for a system
of intimidation and massacre has been resorted to, by
midnight conspirators and combinators, that alarms
every individual who has occasion to employ other
hands than his own in the performance of his calling
or trade. This system cannot be broken up with-
out the aid of the majority of the people. But the
majority of the people will not exert themselves for
that purpose, until they are assured not only of
the protection of Government, but of their deter-
mination to carry a reform of grievances, which
every member of the community is entitled to.
Now the greatest grievance, intelligible to, and felt
by, the predial agitators, that the Government or
Legislature can redress, is confessedly tithes. This
is the most tangible malady, and ought to precede
all others in attracting the skill and attention of our
state physicians.

There was lately caught in the river Lys, near
the village of Lailly, a pike, which was five feet seven
inches long, and weighed full thirty-seven pounds. In
the stomach was found the handle of a poinard, bearing
the initials S. C., supposed to be of Roman workmanship.
I had some conversation this morning with a
Polish gentleman, who was attached to the staff of the
French Commander-in-Chief in the expedition to Greece
in the year 1828. He says that IBRAHII4 PAcHA is not the
son of the Viceroy of EGYPT, but is the son of the wife of
the Viceroy, previous to her present marriage. That he
is about forty-five years of age, of middle size, and very
much marked with the small. pox. He speaks French and
Italian fluently, and has a correct knowledge of the history
of every European power. My friend related several
anecdotes of IBRAHIM : among others the following :—.At
a breakfast given by Marshal Manor?, a few days previous
to his departure from Greece, Inamitst was placed opposite
to the Russian Admiral HEYDEN. The Russian, in the
course of conversation, expressed his conviction that a few
years of liberty would produce a great effect in Greece.
The Egyptian for some time examined the countenance of
the Admiral with a scrutinizing eye, and, turning to his
dragoman, he observed " the word liberty came with a
vet), bad grace from a Russian officer." At another time
he dined at the same table with the French Colonel FAN-
noiaz, who was decorated with a Spanish order. IBRAHIM
not being acquainted with the decoration, asked the
Colonel to what nation it belongA ? " I received it,"
said FANnontE, " from the hands of the King of SPAIN."
Inaairtsr, with great vivacity, and rising from the table,
addressed the Colonel. " t cannot conceive, Sir," said he,
" how you can reconcile your want of consistency in your
military career. You marched into Spain to destroy a
Constitution, the necessity for which was apparent to all
Europe, and wished for by the people themselves ; and
hots prepared to give a Constitution to a people
notwho the worth of it. You may, Sir, be a brave
; but
v a • e
am inclined to think fighting is a mere matter
1•i on
of pecuniary calculation to you."—(Floin a correspondent
of the AforninV ll rztl • _

Sir—,When the Russian Rear-Admiral arrived
in the Bosphorus from Sebastopol, why was not an
English ambassador there charged to forbid his an-
choring off the capital of the Turkish empire ? And
how came it that Admiral Roussin only just hap-
pened to artive two days before the Russian expe-
dition ? Why were the affairs of the East treated
with so much indifference by the British and French
Governments—and why were not steps taken
months ago to avert even the pretext for the Em-
peror Nicholas interfering in the quarrel between
the Porte and the Government of Alexandria?
Want of foresight is an immense fault in a States-
man, and much more so in a whole Cabinet. It
wes the duty of Lord Palmerston and of the Duke
•de Broglie to have been prepared for all contingen-
cies, and not to have waited until it was even too
late to prevent Smyrna being occupied without
resistance by an Egyptian army. If Turkey was to
be saved, she should have been protected and sup-
ported months ago—and the spectacle should not have
been permitted of a Government and a people so hu-
miliated as to be compelled to accept any conditions
which may be imposed by the conqueror. If, on the
other hand, Turkey is to be permitted to expire—then,
why all these negotiations, protests, despatches, cou-
riers, and even talked-of expeditions now? It is
evident that France and England have resolved to
support Turkey ; but the resolution is taken too
late, and if Turkey is now to be protected both
against Egypt and Russia, there must be constantly
a British naval expedition in the Bosphorus, and a
French army of occupation at Constantinople.—
Months ago I said this would be the case. Months
ago I addressed to you a series of letters on this
most interesting and European question—and I then
said what I now repeat, that Russia is realizing the
plan, and carrying into effect the intentions of Ca-
tharine, by placing her southern capital on the banks
of the Bosphorus. The evil is done ! All that can
now be effected will not undo the evil which has
been inflicted by the negligence and delay of the
British and French Governments. The moral ef-
fect to be produced by Russian intervention in the
affairs of the East has been already felt—and all
the protests in the universe of Admiral Roussin, or
all the other Admirals of the world, will not now get
over the fact, that Russia was invited by the Porte
to aid it, because France and England delayed too
long ; and in consequence of this invitation, that
Russia sent a fleet to the Bosphorus, arid an army
towards the Turkish frontiers. And really it
matters but little (except for the moment) whether
this army shall advance, and whether this fleet shall
remain or not, for the mischief is done—Turkey has
been left to feel its own helplessness—the Pacha
has been left to try his own strength—the Turkish
Government is de facto without life, power, or
energy—the Mahommedans are demoralized and
dispirited—and Russia is from henceforth the pro-
tectress and deity of the Mussulmere—For my
own part, I do not regret this, as far as Turkey is
concerned; but I regret it for the sake of the cause
of liberty and civilization, which is injured by the
triumph of Russia in the South of Europe. As
far as Turkey is concerned, I would rather see
it governed by Ibrahim Pacha as a military con-
queror, than by the Sultan and the Divan ; and I
have no sympathy for an ally who is without know-
ledge, science, industry, virtue, civilization, liberty or
rational religion. I hate the cant which is spoken and
written about "our oldest and most faithful ally !"
Whathas Turkey done for Great Britain ? And what
has Turkey done for France? Why would not Mehe-
met Ali, or Ibrahim Pacha, his son, make as good, or
even a much better Sultan than Alalimoud—and
why should we discourage the Pacha of Egypt,
who, with all his faults, is at least a friend to
science, to education, to commerce, and to civiliza-
tion ? I can understand the reply of such a man
as Pozzo di Borgo to this question perfectly well.
He is consistent. He would tell me that the Court
of St. Petersburgh could never encourage or tole-
rate the rebellion of a Pacha against the Sultan—of
a dependent against his master—and of a vassal
against his liege Lord ! and that for this reason the
Emperor Nicholas was resolved on putting down by
force the rebellion of Mehemet Ali. But such rea-
sons as this would be monstrous if uttered by a
British or French Minister of Foreign Affaits ; and
if the Egyptian conqueror is to be attacked, and his
fleet to be exposed to the joint warfare of a French
and English expedition, at least some better reasons
should be given than that the Pacha is " a rebel."
Besides, almost all important and really valuable
and goodly changes in the situation arid destinies
of Governments and of nations have been brought
about by those who are called " Rebels;" and
let not the French Government forget, that in July,
1830, before the troops of Charles X. were de-
feated, and whilst the battle was raging in the
streets of Paris, the majority of the present Depu-
ties, Peers, arid Public Functionaries, were de-
nounced as rebels—and M. Malign), who was then
Prefect of Police, arranged ordinances and projects
with the Count de Peyronnet and the Prince de
Polignac for arresting " the rebels." I say, then,
that the cause of the Pacha of Egypt is not to be
denounced as bad, because he is " a rebel," but that
had the French and English Cabinets been disposed
to have cut off for ever all the hopes of the Russian
Government for extending its territory in the South
of Europe, they would have rather espoused the
cause of Mehemet, than of the ruined, helpless, for-
saken, degraded, and expiring Porte. If England
and France had consulted the interests of liberty,
of civilization,and of Christendom, they would not
have coalesced against the Pacha of Egypt; but
having so coalesced—having resolved or, saving
for a time this cadavre of the Ottoman
Empire, though the soul had long since
fled—l say, having come to this decision,
they should have months Eince protested against
the advance of the Egyptian army—should have
averted the battle of K.oniah—and should not have
permitted an event so humiliating to the Porte, and
so decisive of its future fall and of the future tri-
umph of Russia, as the occupation of Asia Minor
by Egyptian armies; and this degradation of the
Sultan before the Divan and his own subjects. The
arrival of the Russian fleet in the Bosphorus is an
immense event. We must hear no more of Russia
remaining at home. We must hear no more of the
wishes of the Emperor being limited to the posses-
sions already under his sway. We must hear no
more of the unimportance of Russian policy and of
Russian intentions, as " she remains at home," and
makes no excursions to foreign shores. All this
pure cowardice and apprehension of Rus-
sian
o battalions arid Russian fleets. But Russia is
o be thus flattered or courted out of her poli-
tntiaclatklitn sjg is
system. Whilst our writers in the Jour-
nal des Desbats are flattering arid eulogising,
the Emperor is sending a fleet to the Bos-
phorus, and an army to Adrianople ; and,
whilst we are being deceived by the rhu-
domontade of some Government correspondent,
who writes word that Admiral Roussin has refused
to allow the Russian fleet to remain—and that, in
consequence of his piotest, it has withdrawn ; at
the same moment the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
is urging on the Porte to refuse the conditions re-
quired by the Paella of Egypt—to refuse to submit
to the terms offered even by the French Admiral—
and is sending forward more troops to the Turkish

There have been some Ministerial changes in
Spain. Zea Bermudez and Count d'Ofalia have
triumphed over the liberal and progressive portion
of the Cabinet, and the Stock Exchange has carried
the day at Madrid as well as at Paris. This is a
sore evil, and the friends of liberty a d the human
race must deplore it. The party of the young
Queen has been defeated—the Doctrinnaires are in
office—the Spanish Dupin party has been beaten,
and the best and truest lovers of the Peninsula are
driven from those posts where their exertions might
have been eminently serviceable to the cause of
civil and religious freedom. lam not saying that
Zea Bermudez is not a man of talent; and I am not
doubting that Count d'Ofalia loves his country; but
they are both Ultra-Tories in England and Royalists
in France. I admit they are not priest-ridden, but
they are not Liberals ; I admit they are not
Carlists, or Apostolicals; but they are not friends
to representative Institutions or Constitutional
Governments. I know they may not oppose
the convocation of the Cortes, subject to eertain re-
strictions, and for certain avowed purposes; but
they will convoke them more as a State necessity
titan as a vast good, essential to secure the inde-
pendence of the people and the happiness of the
mass. M. Zea Bermudez wishes to see the credit
of Spain improved in foreign countries. Count
d'Ofalia wishes Spain to assume her rank among
the nations. They both think that all this can be
effected at the same time—that what are called
" the rights of the Absolute King" are respected ;
and they latter themselves that the recognition of
the Cortes Bonds and of the independence of the
South American Republics would effect all they
could desire in Foreign Stock Markets, and with
the capitalists and bankers of Europe. They do not
feel that Spain is degraded—that her population is
brutalised—that the form of Government must be
changed as well as the agents—that the Priests
must be defeated—that seciety must be remodelled
—that mountains and ages of impurity, vice, igno-
rance, and oppression, have to be removed—and that
the throne has to be taught that their is a sove-
reignity more omnipotent than that of ten thousand
Monarchs—l mean the sovereignity of the peo-
ple. I say, then, that Bermudez and D'Ofalia
do not feel all this—cannot feel it—were not edu-
cated to feel it—and have not in London or
in Paris mixed with those who were likely to en-
courage them to feel it—but have ever, on the con-
trary, spoken and written of liberal principles and
liberal Statesmen as " pests of society"—as " Jaco-
bins"—" Democrats"—and "Revolutionists."
am now citing the terms and expressions of these
men. Zea Bermudez predicted the overthrow of
the Government of Earl Grey months ago. Count
d'Ofalia spoke of the revolution of 1830 in term•
of the bitterest hatred—and both were called
to Spain, not to form a constitutional order of
things in that country, but to bolster up for a
little while longer the tottering fabric of the old
Monarchy. I regret, then, that, after a contest of
some months with more liberal men and more en-
lightened principles, they have triumphed, and the
Queen's party has been defeated. Yet my regret
is mingled with pleasure; for when the people of
the Peninsula shall perceive that nothing is to be
hoped for from their governors, they will commence
their own political regeneration, and neither M.
Bermudez, nor Count d'Ofalia, nor a thousand go-
vernments, nor a million Dactrinnaires, will be able
to arrest them.

There is an intention on the part of the French
Government to convoke a second Legislative Ses-
sion for 1833 ! The Government says, that it will
take this step to restore order—to obtain a regular
vote of the budget for 1834,, in the summer of 1833
—to get out of the provisional state of finances in
which France has been placed since the revolution.
and to render it from henceforth unnecessary to
apply for money on account, as has been done
hitherto since the overthrow of the eldest branch of
the Bourbons. These reasons appear very plausible,
and such men as M. Jaubert and M. Viennet extol
the plan of the second session as a proof of the
talent, patriotism, virtue, and I know not what
besides, of the Doctrinnaire Administration. But
we must not be caught by appearances—and we
must take care to see that "we do not pay too
much for our whistle f" I admit that a provisional
state of finance is far from desirable. I admit that
money on account should rarely be voted—but ever,
these are less evils than leaving the country by the
vote of the Budget of 1834, in the hands of the
present Ministers for nearly eighteen mouths, with•
out the absolute necessity for convoking the Cham-
bers. Give these Doctrinnaires the right of collect-
ing taxes for the whole of 1833 and 1834, and you
confer on them the power of governing France for
that period without once consulting the Chambers.
During those eighteen months they would get up
pistol plots—declare states of siege—advise arbi•
trary measures—endanger the Constitution of the
country as well as the Throne—and then come for-
ward at the end of the time and ask for a Bill of
Indemnity. During all this period France would be
kept in a state of restlessness, of feverish anxiety,
and of perpetual irritation—even if emeutes, insur-
rections, and revolutions did not succeed one after
the other to add to this frightful picture of national
calamity. It is, then, the duty of the patriotic
portion of the Chamber to oppose granting to the
Doctrinnaires the Budget of 1834—0 r to take all
the securities possible against the violation of the
Charter during the period of their non-assembling.
The affairs of Germany are deeply interesting to
every lover of his species, and to all who take an
interest in the progress of human society. In
Wirtemberg and Hesse Cassel attempts are now
making by the respective Governments of those
countries to prevent the re•election of the patriotic
Deputies. The Diet of Frankfort supplies all ne-
cessary funds to the King of the former, and the
Elector of the latter State. The electors will be
