SEND MR. CAVENDISH TO PARLIAMENT.

SlR,—The massacre of the Protestants in Ireland, in
1641, spread terror throughout this country at the time;
it has been recorded in histories, repeated in schooi-books,
and is even now believed by nine-tentbs of the reading
people of the empire : and yet this massacre never either
4arpened or was intended. Some excesses of O'Niell's
sollowers, which were repaid with intereq by the Pro-
testants, served indeed as a slight foundation on which so
build this factious and political lie, and add to the unpo-
pularity of the,.King, who was supposed to be attitehed to
the Catholics.' But when Cromwell established his courts
nartial, for the express purpose of trying those who were
ecused of murder or masswre, ' not quite 200 could be
liscovered who could be charged with il ieea. murders,
'tiring all the excitement of a two years' civil war."
With such a stubborn fact before our eyes, at e we now
to be called upon to' suspend th 4 Constitution on the
simple assertion of Lord Grey, or rather Lord Grey's
informers, that Ireland is in that state to require the appli-
cation of so odious, so dangerous a measure, and, with-
Nit deliberation or inquiry, &liver up that unhappy
country to a worse dominion than the slave population in.
Jamaica were subjected to during the last revolt ? I say
worse dominion, because there the planters had at least
some interest—some selfish desire, to preserve their live-
stock. In Ireland, alas! party-spirit overcomes humanity,
and the first impulse of
.the generality of English people
is, that the Irish must be wrong.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A FRIEND TO JUSTICE AND HUMANITY.

H. —The fifth and concluding number of this splendid
work, which has been so long looked for, will appear, we
understand, with the rnazazine, on the Ist of 111,rch. Is
is not generally known, we believe, that the engravings
which form this brilliant and tasteful collection of portraits
are executed from copies made from the original pieturcvs
expressly for her Royal Highness the late lamented Prin-
cess CHARLOTTE.
